1he Dress of Paris.

The population of Paris is as remarkable
for variety as that of London for uniforfni-
ty of costume, for in Paris almost every
class has its own distinctive dress. In Eng
land, and especially in London, the EN-
ployer and his workmen, the millionaire
and the crossing sweeper, wear coats of the
same pattern. In London, again, every
workgirl, every market woman, wears a
bonnet initiated more or less perfectly from
those worn by ladies Of fashion. Shopgirls
and workgirls in Paris wear neat white
caps instead of Ill made or, 1t may be, dilapi-
dated bonnets, though the more aspiring
among them reserve the right of appearing
in bonnet on Sundays and holidays
The French workman wears blouse and
q cap, and looks upon the hat az n sign, IL
not of superiority, at least of pretension.
Owing to the varieties of dress already

by the different colors of the costumes arc

Raided uis Own poker Game.

There is n certain Official employed in
the courthouse who not many years ago
conducted a poker game in the western
part of the city, depending on the kitty
and his salary to place him ON the sunny
side of Easy street. But notwithstand-
ing tho play was good che proprietor was
generally the biggest loser. One night the
game was quite stiff, and every jack pot

to "kid'' him about his bad luck, when,

Temperaturo OF cine Sum.

There is almost as much diversity as to
the temperature Of the sun as there is re-
garding the source Of it's heat. A recent is
sue of knowledge contains an article By
Mr.. Ranyard on the photosphere, suggested
by two large photographs taken by DR.
Jansen. These show the apparent forma-
tion Of the suns surface, which is mottled
all over, as Mr.. Ranyard remarks, like the
cirrus clouds in mackerel sky. From the
appearance of the sun as thus depicted Mr.
Ranyard assumes that the brilliance of the
solar surface does not greatly exceed the
brightest incandescence of the most refrac
tory bodies obtained by means OF the cleo
trio current. Nor is the heat so great as
many solar physicists assume. From his
own observations and those of others tho
writer concludes that the suns heat cannot
exceed 10000 degrees Ca very high tenn

Hygienic Value of Perfumery.

DIR. Anders of Philadelphia a few years
ago made the interesting discovery that
the ozone in the atmosphere, the element
which Is the great purifier, was mainly
supplied from blooming flowers, and for
this reason blooming plants were health
ful in dwellings as well as attractive.
Some interesting experiments with the
odors of flowers have been made in the old
world, and IL Is found that many species
Of microbes are easily destroyed by vari-
Gus odors. The odor OF cloves has been
known TO destroy these minute creatures
In s5 minutes. Cinnamon will kill some
species in l2 minutes; thyme in 35. In As
minutes the common wild vcrbena is found
effective. while the odor Of some geranium
flowers has destroyed various forms of mi
crobcs in 90 minutes. The essence of Gin
namon is said 10 destroy the typhoid fever
microbe in l2 minutes and IL recorded as
the most effective Of all odors rs an anti

which are found in Egyptian mummics

Headaches.

There are several we'll defined types of
headache. There is the occipital headache,
the "pain at the base of the brain" This
Ia usually due to venous fullncss, or il
may be the result of sitting too long with
the head bent forward and the eyes strain
ed. Bookkcepers have this sort of head
ache. Sometimes it may be really neu-
ra,gia of the occipital nerve, brought on
by exposure to q draught. There are gen.
orally accompanying symptoms whereby
physician is aided in his differentiation.
There is the aching at the side of the
head, when the eyes do not focus alike, or
are otherwise not exactly pair. The
pince-nez of over fastidious people who
need but will not wear spectacles Is re-
sponsible for n good many OF tho irregu-
larities of the eye that produce this type
of headache.
Frequently, too, the light carelessly
placed by mother or nurse just where baby
cannot look directly at il produces the OPP
teal mischief. The little one Is bound to
look at the light, and he rolls his eyes
aorund until he manages to see 1t with one
or both. Sometimes the result is strabs-
mus, sometimes il is stigmatism, in al
most any case il is headache, and baby
means and cries weakly. There Is also the
trne- nervous headache, the neuralgia, the
sharp, short, knifelike pain so many
women know. Resembling it at times il
the faceache of decayed tooth, in which
the eyes are often involved, or the neu-
ralgia itself may be facial, usually, in fact
very generally, on the right side.---San

ALONE.

Alone, alone, alonei
My spirit strays where wild winds sweep
In sadness DER the wintry deep
And wandering billows moan
A namclcss ship with sails all furled
Adrift upon the watery world,
Abandoned and alone!
Alone, alone, alone!
Among the busiest OF my kind,
With pleasure, gain or passion blind,
Unknowing and unknown.
All. Godl No accent stirs the breath
With drearier note this side Of death
Than that sad word, alone!
Alone, alone, alonei
Around me rolls the human surge.
The birth, the wedding song, the dirge,
In endless monotone,
But needless OF the varying mood,
Lost in tho dark soul solitude,
Still must walk alone!
Alone, alone, alone!
Love came but once a weird, sweet dream
OF seraph wings the flashing gleam,
Then back TO Alden flown.
As far as socn tho stars of heaven
To some grieved spirit unforgivcn,
And / am left alone!

THE BUFFALO.
A Scheme to Perpetuate the Now Almost
Extinct Animal.

WASHINGTON, June IL. - Secretary
Morton is in receipt of a communication
from the president of the Nebraska
City National bank, Mr.. w. L. Wilson,
earnestly inviting his attention to the
esirability of experimenting in the
perpetuating of that almost extinct
animal, the buffalo, in the aleutian
islands, and inviting him to consider
the propriety of purchasing herd now
controlled by the bank in question for
the use of the department for this pur-
pose. The secretary has written Mr..
Wilson, treating his proposition in
humorous way. ''The fact is" said
Mr.. Morton, the suggestion was orig
inally made to Mr.. Wilson by mutual
friend in New Hampshire, Mr.. Morri-
'on, who is a bit of q wag, and who has
proposed this thing as a joke. But Mr..
Wilson has taken his proposition in all
seriousness, and actually believes that
would carefully consider the propri-
ty to undertake, as secretary of agri-
culture to farm buffaloes in the Aleu-
tian Islands. believe the bank came
into possession of these animals through
the settlement of some estate, and I
have no doubt that, viewed solely as as
sets they are 4 good deal of u white ele-
phant, but fail to see any reason why
Uncle Sam should pay out the peoples
money from the United States treasury
to run a buffalo farm.

PARsIMONIOUs POLICY
Or Few Congressional Economists
Responsible


WASHINGTON, June 12.-The govern.
ment of tho United States is paying
| over 100000 per annum for rent of rat
traps all over the city of Washington,
and using them for Office purposes. The
horrible disaster of Friday has but
wildly brought to the minds of the
public what thousands have known in
Washington for years. The par
simonious policy of few econo-
mists who have had control Of
the appropriations committee in
the house is mainly responsible
for the state of affairs. The attention
of congress has been called, over and
over again, to these death traps in
which clerks are compelled to endanger
their lives. simply because a fcwmen in
congress want to make record of false
economy. Fords old theater now
stands forth as u horrible example, but
one has but to take walk through
| Washington to find many suoh private
| buildings used for Office purposes which
are totally unsafe and dangerous.
These buildings will perhaps be all
right for private usages, but when
packed with office furniture, heavy
records and papers such as all govern
ment buildings are, they are daily in
danger of collapsing. The fight for
new government printing Office has be-
come famous.
Judge McComas said Friday after
noon, in talking about this disaster:
"While on the appropriation committee
l besought the members to quickly de-
eide on site, because while they were
contending between two half selected
| places something would happen, the
horror of which would be beyond COM
prehension.
The strangest thing in connection
with the collapse of the old Ford's
theatcr is Che action of congress in
1885, when they passed the bill to re-
move the old medical museum from the
building and erect new structure
for that collection, simply because tho
building was unsafe and not fit to hold
such u valuable collection. 1t was in
the forty-eighth congress, February,
1885, that this bill appropriating $780,
900 for new building was passed. A
spirited debate over the the passage of
the bill took place, and it was pretty
thoroughly stated that the building
was in that year GSS5) unsafe and un-
fit. 1t has not been altered or fixed
since.
A little history just at this time will
make the matter clear Two years
after the assassination of President
Lincoln the government obtained pos
session of the old theater building, and
for while it was used to store the
confederate archives in. These We're
removed, however, and the building
fixed over with iron rafters and pillars
(Which gave way Friday so as to make
three floors. The army medical muse
um record Office was then placed in this
building. the upper floors being used
for the display of the museum, the
lower floors being occupied by clerks
and the medical library. The report
to congress asked for an appropriation
for new building, that the building
was not only too small for the records
of the libary and the museum, but is
unsubstantial and exposed 70 destruc-

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Ford's old OPP
erahouse on Tenth street, in which
President Abraham Lincoln was shot,
caved in Friday forenoon. It was used
as the army and navy part Of the sur
geon-generars Office, and fully 400 gov

the time.
The first floor collapsed through
weakness caused by excavating q cellar
and in it's fall carried down the other

clerks.
The dead and wounded are being

tiremen and police. All the ambulances
in the city have been summoned, and
the rescued are being conveyed to the

SILL CLOSED.
Although Judge Woods Allows an Appes
In tho Worlds Fair Sunday Closing Case.


CHICAGO. June 10.-Judge Woods, sit.
ting in the U. ). court, decided Friday
morning to allow the Worlds Colum.
bian exposition an appeal from the de-
cision Thursday granting nn injunction
against Sunday opening of the fair.
The time and place of hearing the ap-
peal will be fixed by Chief-Justice Full.
ler Application for supersedeas,
which would suspend effect of the in.
junction pending hearing on the ap-
peal, was refused, leaving Thursdays
decision in force.
Judge Jenkins and Grosscup have not
spoken in regard to the appeal and n
decision has not been made.
Attorney Walker, representing the
exposition directors. moved for sus-
pension of the order when 1t should be
entered and began long argument in
support of the motion.
After hearing Mr.. Walkers argument
Judge Woods announced that the order
for injunction was entered in accord.
ance with the decision of Thursday.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Post pub
fishes the following: The ultimatum
Of the federal court of Chicago, deliv-
cred Thursday afternoon, to the effect
that the Worlds fair can not be opened
on Sundays is final and will be backed
up by force of arms if necessary.
This in brief is the way the admins.
tration officials regard the matter. 1t
can not be said that anyone here actu-
ally fears that such extreme measures
will be necessary, yet at the war de.
partment Thursday there was consider
able talk about the possible necessity OF
| utilizing troops to prevent the gates be-
| ing opened.
In the absence of Secretary Lamont,
none Of the officials felt at liberty to
be quoted as to what course would
be pursued, but they all agreed that
the military would be brought into
prominent rcquisition if any attempt
should be made to ignore the iniunc-
ton issued by the court. Indeed,
there are good reasons for believing
that when the two troops of infantry
were ordered to Chicago from Fort
Smelling it was in anticipation of thei,
possible use in quelling riots which
might arise in connection with the
closing of the fair on Sunday. The
military aut horities all agree that the
administration can do nothing else
than to back up the decision of the
court.
The question of the right of govern
ment of the state to exhaust all local
means for suppressing trouble on the
grounds before calling on the federal
troops, they say, does not apply in the
present case. They hold that if the
government is not in full control of the
exposition, it is largely interested in
the enterprise and is bound to protect
its interests according to the interpre
tations Of the court, regardless OF local
. IN
