The SIMS Heat Boils Water.

Journeying toward the Great Desert
John Davidson was murdered by the ma
tives, and his privately printed journal
is rare and most interesting record of
African adventure.
One day he remarked the sun literally
scorchcd; all were gasping, and the
Arabs told him twenty draughts of water
would not quench the thirst on such n
day in Sahara. Another time he drank
tea for over an hour and was still thirsty.
When the thermometer in the sun
marked temperature of 141 degrees he
had to wrap pieces of white wool about
his stirrups, Moorish daggers and all
metallic articles, because they grew too
hot to be handled. He exposed some
water in tea-kettlc to the sun, and was
soon able to use it for hot water. lie
wrote this account of the simeon, while
it was passing:
"To describe the awful scourge of the
desert defies all the powers of language.
The pencil, assisted by the pen, might
perhaps afford faint idea of it. Winged
with the whirlwind and charlotcd in
thunder, 1t urged its fiery course, blast
ing all nature with its death-fraught
breath. 1t was accompanied by line
of vivid light, that locked like train of
fire, whose murky smoke filed the whole
wide cxpansej and made its horrors only
the more VIVID. The eye of man and
voice OF beast were both raised to
heaven, aud both then fell upon the
earth. Against this sand tempest all
the fortitude of man fails, and all his
efforts ore vain. TO Providence alone
must We look. "-New York Journal.

For evening wear pearl white is used
more than cream, but is not so generally
becoming.
Ribbons and belts have taken the place
of girdles, which became too common to
look pretty.
Linen handkerchief are finished with
three to five very narrow tucls and seal
loped edges.
Chiffon aud chiffon, plain and en-
broidered is of every width, color and
combination.
Lace and passementeric are in high
favor; the latter is used even on shoes
for evening wear.
Silk hose, having bootees of alternate
stripes of open work and hemstitched
bars are popular.
Robes dc chambre are made of lace
striped nainsook, with trimming Of
Valenciennes lace.
The elongated basque bodicosor coat
is now modified to meet the require.
ments of short women.
Light, delicate, fine sprays of Jet will
be much more used on dresses than the
heavy bands of late. Cabochons, which
have perhaps been overused, will almost
be thing of the past.
Long cioaks and short capes hayino
yolks, raised shoulders and high collars
will be fashionably developed IN flexible
woolens, with pretty Innings and re.

Poplin, a rich silky material, is being
made up for evening dresses. White
poplin is especially handsome. and when
combined with white satin and glossy
silk, cords makes and elegant gown.
A new variety OF hat is called the
Brighton; that with cleft crown being
so styled. In place of the fancy open
work straw of which the model was first
made, the Brighton is now produced in
a soft hairy felt, like pressed cancels

There are as yet no noteworthy new
colors. Cool shades of Russian blue or

nate among cloth colors. There are
many shades of brown in chestnut and

rich garnet colors.
Ostrich. feather sleeves are novelty

ter. They reach only to the elbow, and
are made of the fluffy curled tips sewed
lightly to foundation sleeve of lace or

Very fine and beautiful silver en-
broideries on pale tints for evening
gowns are most delicate and effective.
They are chiefly used as headings to
'laces, or to ma Ike Greek border on the

THE INcREAsE OF nEAurv

"Yes, she's decidedly pretty, but rot
half so pretty as her mother was at her
age" How often do we hear this re-
mark when we venture to praise some
beauty of the present day in the hearing
of one of the older generation. 1t sug.
gests an important question: Whether
the standard of beauty is changing, and
If so whether women are more or less
beautiful than they used TO be2 This is
question which may happily be an
swered to the entire satisfaction of the
present generation There can be no
reasonable doubt that there is greater
beauty now and more of it than at any
previous time.
No woman has been more celebrated
for her beauty than Mary Queen of
Scots, but if she were to walk unan-
nounced into London drawing room
to-day it is doubtful if she would cause
much remark. No doubt she would still
retain the power OF captivating people
with her charms, but she would no longer
bewitch them by her lace. 1t is true
we can hardly realize what Mary was like;
we are not even sure of the color of her
hair or her eyes. The various authentic
portraits of her are strangely dissimilar.
They only agree in this: That they all
show us face which disappoints US.
AS we are not satisfied with degree
of beauty which was enough for Mary's
contemporaries-which sent the men of
her day off their heads and filed her
cousin Elizabeth with deadly jealousy
the Inference is that the standard of
beauty has risen, and the rise has proba-
bly, been gradual and constant, each gen.

predecessor. One CAB hardly resist a
