OLD TIME rRousssAu GOWNS.
spiendors Of SILK and Gold, but What on
Earth Were "Cama' and "Atlas?"

Rprendors of Silk and Gold, but What on
Earth Were .Cama" and s'Atlas?"
Some one who has been delving into
old. musty magazines has brought to
light a description of some trousseau
Gowns made for Princess Charlotte when
she married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Co-
burg.
Here Is the description Of the wedding
gown: ''The wedding dress was a slip of
white and silver atlas, worn under
dress of transparent silk net, elegantly
embroidered in silver CANA with bor-
der to match, tastefully worked in floral
designs to form festoons round the bot
tom. the sleeves and neck trimmed with
a most rich suit of brussels point lace"
All very fine, but what, prithee, thou
quaint old fashion writer, are ''ca--a'
and '.atlas?" "Mantua" is almost as OBJ
solete part of the vocabulary Of fashion,
but we still recognize behind it the i'm
age of a flowing cape. But .'atlas: 1t
is conundrum. And 'camaF' An
Egyptian riddle. 1t seems to have been
quite popular, whatever it was, for an
other of the trosseau gowns was of white
net embroidered in gold CANA, with bor-
der laid over white satin. In this case
the mantua was of rich gold brocade,
with blown roses richly woven in and
trimmed with gold lace. OF the other
gowns of this old time bride, one was of
transparent net richly embroidered in
the bright and dull tones of silver; an
other was of fine white india muslin
worked over in little spots wrought in
6ligree gold and hounced with brussels
point; another was of silver tissue
trimmed with silver lace.
In addition to all this gold and silver
fnery, there were two whole dresses of
brussels lace, valued respectively at 300
and $50 guineas: also two of British
blond net, specially worked for her royal
highness. The last but one Of the gowns
described was q white muslin morning
gown, trimmed with three broad rows
Of valcncicnncs lace. All the gowns, it
will DO noticed, were white, and most of
them were gorgeous with gold and silver
thread.
But the going away gown of the Prin-
cess Charlotte is enough to make a mod
ern bride gasp. 1t was Of the richest
white silk, trimmed with broad foot
ruche of white satin, headed by two
deep flounces of brussels point. The
short sleeves and low bodice-imagine a
decollete travelling gown.-were veiled
in the same lace. With this was worn
pelisse Of white satin, Incl with sar-
senet and trimmed with broad 'ands of
ermine. Unfortunately there +: no de-
scription of the millinery which accom-
panied all this magnifcence. OF course
the hat must have been white and enor-
nous, with sweeping plumes and volum-
inous lace veiI.-New York Sun.

Nnfhinr to Wonder At.

"I used to wonder" said man of
family, ''what became of all the patent
medicines, but don't now. My chill
dren take them. There's my two young
er children, David, who is 8, and Ella,
6. To look at them you'd think they
had somebody else's health as well as
their own, but l hear their mother say
to them before they go down to break
fast:
LEILA, have you taken your antimala-
rum? David, don't forget your antima-
larium.'
st seems that their mother thinks
that children of their age ought to take
something at this season of the year to
strengthen them, and SO they take anti
malarium every day.
"And there's Reuben, big, strapping
boy of IA. His mother gives him some
thing because she thinks a growing boy
like him ought to have something tc
build him up. And she says to Caroline,
who is 16: Caroline, you're not well al
all. You've got to take something.
think you ought to take some of Glim
mer's compound, and SO Caroline begins
with Glimmer's compound.
Sand l see on the shelf, with spoons
alongside, in spring, in summer, in au
tumn and in winter, the bottles contain
ing the things that the children are sup
posed to need in the season then current
and l say to myself that if all mothers
are like the mother of my children there
is no need for me to wonder what be
comes of all the patent medicines. p

The famous inventor picked up a scrap

DON'T OWE THE PIPER.
A Sanitary AIlcgary That Teaches Prac-
tical Lesson.

tical Lesson.
Under the heading Of sThe Pied Piper
Of Hamelin, a Sanitary Allegory," the
London Sanitary Record indulges its
readers in comparison between the
subject of Browning's delightful poem
and those municipal governments that
are niggardly in dealing with sanitary
questions. Tho story should be better
known than it is. 1t was about 500
years ago, according to Browning, that
O pest Of rats infested the town of Hame-
lin in Brunswick. The mayor and alder
men were at their wits end to get rid Of
the rodents when the "'pied piper"
came along and engaged to free the town
for the sum of 1000 guilders. AS the
story goes, he played upon his pipe so
cunningly and alluringly that all the
rats, save one. followed him to the river
Weser, and thus ended the plague of the
rats.
Great joy was felt throughout the
city, and naturally the piper expected a
prompt payment of his well earned
guilders. But the mayor and corpora
tion grew stingy; their troubles were
over. they thought, and they would be
troubled no more; but to get rid of the
pestilent fellow they offered him 80.
Then comes the tragedy of the story.
They had treated their deliverer shah
billy, they had put him in a passion, and
they found him pipe to another fashion.
Again he piped, 20 sweetly and per-
suasively that all the children in the
town came hocking out and ran merrily
after the wonderful music with shouting
and laughter, and they followed their
leader to the side of mountain, which
opened and swallowed them all up, and
they were never heard of more-in
Hamelin, and the parents in that i'll
fated city were left to mourn.
But it isn't true. We are not so sure
of that. 1t is certainly in print, and if
it weren't true how could grave poet
hike Robert Browning have taken the
trouble to write out the story in charm
ing verse? For our part, we believe it to
be perfectly true-if not in the letter,
certainly in the spirit. When Browning
wrote it, doyou not think he had in view
those principalities that grudge the ex-
pense of paying to get rid of nuisances?
There are plenty among ourselves who
still act the part of the mayor and cor
poration of Hamelin.
Clearly the meaning of the poem is
that if you are mean enough to grudge
the necessary expenditure for ridding
your town of destructive pests, then you
will have to pay for your sordid econ
omy in the loss of your dearest. You
will see your children pass away before
your eyes, and you will be utterly I'M
able to stop them or to recall them. You
will have to pay the piper somehow; if
not in money, then in some far more
costly and tragical fashion. Bacilli are
more troublesome and more destructive
than even rats, because they destroy the
most valuable of all property, and they
cannot easily be got rid of without
spending money. Disease is the costli-
est of all conditions for town, while
the expenditure on sanitation is the
wisest economy.

No Thief win Touch It.

A costly ring, unguarded by police or
other special protection, hangs suspended
to a silken cord round the neck of a
statue of the Maid of Almadena, the
patron saint of Madrid, in one of the
most frequented parks of the Spanish
capital. 1t isset with valuable diamonds
and pearls, but there is not the least
danger of its being stolen. The greatest
thief in Spain would sooner steal the
plate from his own mothers coffin than
to even so much as touch the uncanny
relics. Its history is curious and inter-
esting, being equal to anything related
in medieval folklore.
1t was made in accordance with a
special order from the late Alphonso
XII, who gave it to his cousin, the beau
tiful Mercedes, on the day of their be-
trothal. She wore it constantly during
her short married life. Upon her death
the king presented it to his grandmother,
Queen Christina. She died soon after
accepting it. and the king then passed
the deadly little jeweled band of gold to
his sister, Infanta de Pillar, who died
within a month after. Again the ac-
cursed circlet started on its deadly
rounds, next finding a place upon the
finger Of Christina, daughter of the Duke
Montpensier In less than 100 days she,
too, was dead. Alfonso then put the
cursed jewel III his own .casket of precious
relics and lived less than year after
so doing. Is it any wonder that such a
harbinger of death can safely hang on a
statue in an unguarded square.-Phila-

Artificial miniature auroras Of the
borealis variety have been produced by
both De la Rive, the French savant, and
Lenstrom, the Swedish astronomer. In
Professor Lenstrom's experiments,
which were made in Finland, the peak Of
high mountain was surrounded with a
coil of wire, pointed at intervals with
tin nibs. The wire was then charged
with electricity, whereupon brilliant
aurora appeared above the mountain, in
which spectroscopic analysis revealed
the greenish yellow rays so character
istic in natures display of northern
