CAD KlPLING AGAIN.
He Arrives at Montreal and Makes Pub
lie Display of Rudeness.

MONTREAL, July 22.-Rudyard Kip
ling used to have great many admirers
in Montreal who intended to pay him
honor and homage should he ever visit
this city. He arrived at the Windsor Ho-
tel yesterday with his wife, and made
himself about as much detested as a man
can in one day.
One of his many orders was that he
should not be disturbed by anyone under
any circumstances, and the many persons
who called when they heard of his arrival
were so told. One prominent merchant
here, a great admirer of his, who also
acosted him, was informed by Kipling
that he did not wish for any new ac-
quaintances.
The worst treatment was received by
the Pen and Pencil Club, to which
the principal artists and literary
folks of the Dominion belong. They ten
dered a reception in their beautiful club
rooms; but without even going to the
trouble to inform them to that effect, he
failed to appear and slighted them in q
manner which will never be forgotten.

FASHIONS IN sAsHES.

The new sashes which are to be so
fashionable next season are very wide,
very elegant, and not so very expensive,
considering their quality and device.
Five yards are often used where the
wearer is tall and elects for the Louis
Quinze sash, the ends of which reach
quite to the foot of the dress skirt. Some
of the new Russian blouses for young
girls are made of the gay Persian sash
ribbons, with a trimming OF the same at
the hem OF the dress skirt, or showing
as a simulated petticoat between the
slashings Of the outside skirt with sash
of the same at the back OF the blouse, or
looped at one side if preferred. The
itch Louis XIV. sashes show wide stripes
OF watered silk alternating with those of
silk or satin, with bright Pompadour
figures scattered in artistic groups down
these stripes. The floral patterns in
some of these beautiful novelties are ex-
quisitely colored and blended. Shot
silk sashes are shown in which velvet
changes into gold, white into silvery
blue, gray into Roman red, olive into
rose and gold, black into gold, and
ccru into gold and palest water-green.-

There are between 10000 and $4,000
ragpickers in Paris, divided into three
classes, besides the native chifTonnier,
who is well to do. At the bottom comes
the ramasseur de null. He is born rag
picker, as most OF the better ones are,
but is generally a labonng man out Of
work. He collects from any refuse he
can find. He is only one degree above
the common tramp. Gradually he gains
experience, learns to distinguish the most
profitable kinds of refuse, and the quar-
tiers where they are to be found, and ends
by going to live in colony as a regular
chifonnier, There are 5000 of this
class. The next is the coureur. lie is
more expert than the ramasseur de mutt,
but has, like him, no regular work-he
comes and goes where and when he likes.
THIS is the largest Glass, and numbers
some 10000. The third is the placier,
who is in quite difficult position. He
is licensed by the police, and has def
mite beat. From so many houses in a
particular street the refuse is his mono
poly. The good will of beat can be
bought and sold, and is worth from So
to 124 or 1870 francs, according to the
district. On the other hand, the placier
is obliged to make his round every day
under the penalty of losing his place. He
goes out in the morning with his basket
aud visits the houses on his beat. AT
each house he takes the portable dustbin,
containing the previous days refuse,
from the cook, carries it out to the pave
ment, and overhauls it while waiting for
the municipal dust cart to pass. He may
be seen at work any morning about or
s o'clock, or earlier, The placer always
works with his wife and children, and
many placiers possess horse and cart.
Having gone his round, he returns home.
and sorts his gleanings. The assorted
products are sold by weight to the maltre
chiffonnier, who gives from fifty cents
to $40 per 100 kilogrammes, according
to quality. The total profit drawn by
these people directly from the refuse OF
Paris averages almost S15, 900 day.

WOMEN TO THE FRONT.

Lassa, the principal city OF Thibet, IS
a remarkable place for one thing; Govern
ment recognizes the ability of women to
manage and control large proportion of
the retail trade, that at certain seasons
of the year demand unusual attention.
From December to March brisk bust
ness is carried on with "neighbors fro,a
abroad" Hue, the distinguished ex-
plorer, relates that china ware, rich
carpets, attractive silk stuffs, and other
commodities in great variety and large
quantities are brought from western
China; and from other quarters appear
travelling merchants with weIl-laden'
canels and horses, revealing tempting
display of Russian goods, among which
may be found gold lace, silken textures,
and peculiar styles of jewclry, much IN
request in the cities and villages of
Thibet; also many kinds OF furniture are
included in the list; and eastern Thibet
fails not in ample provision of much
priced musk. The owners of these valu-
able "packs of richness and elegance"
throw themselves heart and soul into
the work of disposing of their various
properties, for in three months "the sea-
son of absence from home with them is
past, and early in March they must again
take up the claims of farm aud store and
shop in their own land. "-Harpers

A Marine Paradox.

Many of you have stood on the beach
at the seaside, and watched the seas
rolling in heavy breakers after 4 storm,
curling and crashing into volumes of
foam and broken water, with such force
as to send them sweeping up almost to
your feet. 1t is through such Waves that
men who follow the sea must at times
pass in reaching tie shore; but not
through one or two on smooth, quick
shelving beach, but through thirty or
forty, perhaps, covering a mile of treach-
erous shoals, and at places surging be-
tween jagged reefs and huge bOuIders.
With intense interest VIC read of
dreadful shipwrecks almost every week.
The survivors tell how the big ship Ia
bored and struggled through monster
pillows and shrieking wind, under black
flying clouds and amid jagged streaks of
lightning, until mastless and helpless,
she lay exhausted in the trough of the
sea, and passively received the crashing
delugc of mercless waves until she sank.
They tell how they, poor, puny human
beings, chung to helm and pumps till the
great ships struggles were over, and it
became evident that she could carry
them no longer; then how they hastily
threw Il cask of water and a few provis-
ions into some remaining boat, and at a
favorable moment launched upon the
angry waters in craft so frail that it
seemed as il all on board were doomed
to instant destruction.
Here always comes the strangest part
of their narrative. Read all such, &C.
counts carefully, and you will find that
in nearly every case where such little
boat is safely launched from an aban-
doned ship, 1t floats and drifts for days
and even weeks on the open ocean, liv-
ing through the dreadful tempest which
wrecked the big ship, sailing buoyantly |
through calmer seas, and finally bringing |
the survivors within sight of other ships |
or lands.-St. Nicholas.
