ON THE BEACH.
Between 10 and II O'Clock in the morning the
beach presents picturesque and lively scene.
TrouvilIe is Paris by the sea; and, rs at Paris,
you have all kinds Of people, filing cut all
kinds Of costumes. At Havre, just across the
bay, the costumes are also Of the utmost
variety; and when there is an excur-
sion train down from Paris-they
never como to Trouville-the ensemble
is not always of the most refined
elegance. When there has been run on the
bathing costumes they offer you a sheet. At
Etretat 1t is always a close-ftting Jersey
suit for women as well as for men. Etretst

and literary men. Every one there
prides himself on being swimmer. and

bathers undress at home and 60 through the

which give pleasing variety Of white, rose and

At Trouvills modesty is graduated to suit the
views Of all The unmarried daughter Of the
family, who may not speak to gentlemen and
who goes bare-Iimbed into the water, shining
pink aud white in the green golden foam-capped
breakers like q precious seashell, hides herself
in her peignoir when she makes her timid run
across the sands. The peignoir is a sheet, and
it is so ample that If the wind lifts up its very
smallest edge it is not because she does not
know it.
This peignoir ia given to her with her suit
within the bath house. The bath houses and
the beach itself are divided OFF to meet the
views Of all.
THE BATHING SECTIONS.
At Trouville there are three distinct bath
ing squares There is the square Of the men
alone, where only the simplest swimming
tights are demanded. There is the mixed
square, where all, both men and women, must
wear complete suits-that is. they must cover
everything but arms and legs. Last OF all,
there is the square OF the ladies alone, where
Pere la Pudeur, AS they call him, passes his
time in keeping out the men.
Though it Is perfectly correct for young girls
to enter the mixed square, accompanied by
their natural protectors, many mothers would
not hear of it for their daughters. This Is not
so much to keep them from the contamination
of other girls who perambulate the sand wear
protectors are far away. 1t is not Of them that
the mother is afraid. Here they are philosophi-
cal, and if they rub elbows with the demi-
monde in theaters, restaurants, hotels and in
their own apartment houses. their presence
does no harm upon the beach. What the mother
objects to in the mixed square is that her ten
der child should see the men at too close quar-
tiers and that they should see her. There are
French girls who have visited the sea-
shore every summer Of their lives. and who
have never had a scamper on the sand. Their
bathing has been confined to secretive dips
from the steps Of bathing machines wheeled
out into the ladies' square.
FOR PRIVATE OCCUPATION
between times OF recognized social functions
the young ladies at Trouville sit with their
mothers and girl friends under big umbrellas,
read novels and keep their eyes and ears open.
When they are very little they run around the
beach with their brothers and troops Of other
aforementioned children, guarded by nurses
carving their shoes and stockings. But soon
the time comes to be serious. Being serious

THE NEGRO QUESTION.

"How about the negroes?''
'They are getting along very we'll Many OF
them are becoming educated and not few are
accumulating property. They are better off
now than they have been for years.
"How about social equality? Will the two
races ever come together?''
NO." was the reply. ''Ths blacks are as
proud as the whites, and are as anxious to keep
separate. We have white teachers in the
colored schools in Atlanta, and the most of our
Methodist churches will not employ white
preachers. There is less mixing with the races
in the south than ever BEFORE and it may sur
prise you to hear that many of the pure blacks
look down with contempt upon the mulattoes,
who they despise as being the products of their
immortality Of their ancestors.

"FIrrY-FoUR-FoRrY OR FIGHT"
This historic campaign cry had its origin in
the agitation growing out Of the disputed
boundary of the northwest 1t was one Of the
ralying cries OF the democrats in the presiden-
tial contest Of 1874, which resulted in the cleo
ton of James K. Polk. II is said that VIII
liam Allen of Ohio, then y Senator in Con-
gress, first gave it currency. Our claim to that
line arose in this manner: 1t seems that in the
year 1924 our country concluded treaty with
Russia, which was then the owner Of large terri
tory by discovery and occupancy in the north
western portion of the continent. No defined
boundary was established between that country
and our own. but it was agreed in the treaty
aforesaid that Russia would form no settlements
south Of latitude fifty-four degrees and forty
minutes north and that our country should
establish no settlements north OF that line
1t seems that the Hudson's Bay Fur Company
did not consider this rather non-committsl
agreement as in any manner affecting their rights
and by the year 1S274t'was found that citizens
of the United States and subjects of Grea,
Britain were both in actual possession Of the
country and claiming the same by right The
country was in that early day considered so re-
mote and perhaps of SO little value that neither
OF the claimants cared to resort to extreme
measures, and so 10 settle the matter Temporal
rily they agreed to a joint occupancy Of the dis
puted territory. and that singular state of az
fairs continued for nearly twenty years.
An attempt was made to settle the matter In
the Ashburton treaty of 1912. but failed. Fl.
nally by treaty Of June Is. 1S46, the dispute
was ended by the agreement to extend the line
along the forty ninth parallel from the Rock,
mountains to Puget sound and thence to the
ocean. We gave up territory sufficient to have
formed another state north OF the present state
of Washington. but our claim TO II was perhaps
no better than thatof Great Britain, and tn,

then that the iron enters d woman's soul
If she has not a rich and elegant car

Of this season really surpass all that
have ever seen in point of genuine ele-
gance combined with unusually brilliant
coloring. There are but few even Of the
best and largest houses that make spe-
cialties Of fine carriage wraps, partly be-
cause few can afford them, and because,
being SO expensive, few care to put 80
much money into u selection.
Purple Of the royal petunia shade,
with Innings of lilac or heliotrope or
golden yellow. is the favorite. Next
come those Of black velvet, plush and
heavy ribbed silk, and after those come
the superb emerald and hunters green
velvets. Each and all are embroidered
in raised designs and trimmed besides
with heavy jet and chenille fringes,
with ribbons and silk laces. The en-
broidery is usually heavier in the cor
ners of the garment than elsewhere.
know clever lady, with nimble fingers,
who purchased velvet and embroidered
it herself and then had the garment
made at less than one-third Of the cost
of those in the stores, but not every one
has the time or skill to do that, more's
the pity.
One carriage cloak Of superb green
velvet had deep embroidery III two
shades Of green silk in raised arabesque
pattern. There was q plain yoke to
which the lower part Of the cape was
gathered. There were places left under
a fold in front to slip the hands through,
and down the front between these open
ings there was a jet and chenille fringe
that reached to the bottom from the
yoke. There were shoulder caps heav-
lily beaded in jet. The collar was com
posed of a double ruching of black rib
bon, and two rows Of ribbons crossed the
bust and ended under rosettes and long
f1shtail fats. Across the back the yoke
was straight, and where the gathers
joined it was a band of jet passementerie
like that on the caps.
Green velvet is very rich and will ego"

or gray is very rarely used. There is
very handsome and stylish goods for

A beautiful instance OF the working Of
the Mckinley retaliation clause-other-
wise known as the reciprocity clause-is
pointed out by correspondent. What
civil war is doing in the way of cutting
off our coffee supplies from Brazil Mr..
Harrison's proclamation of Tetaliatory
duties against Colombia, Venezuela and
Hayti has been doing all along. If those
countries were free to send MS the coffee
they would like to, the present blockade
in Brazil would afford them fine chance
to make extra large shipments and make
good the Brazilian shortage But we
have deliberately shut ourselves off from
that mode of relief.
Coffee consumers feel the Brazilian
war very keenly and are hoping that it
will soon be over SO that they can get
their coffee as cheap as before, but we
have never seen any considerable indig-
nation on their part on account Of the
arbitrary tax which did what they now
lament to see war doing. The whole
thing is rather a neat reminder of the
way customs duties act and are designed
by protectionists to act-precisely like
war.
Indeed it is a well settled principle
with protectionist expounders Of eco
nomic history that there are only two
possible explanations of an era Of pros
perity-protectire taxes or war taxes.
Mr.. Blaine was the pioneer here, and his
discovery that the Mexican war was all
that kept the country from going toruin
under the revenue tariff of 1916 had a
great run. Since then it has become
automatic that, if the country was pros
porous at any given time, the cause was q
protective tariff, OF if that did not exist
then the equivalent blessing Of bloody
and long continued war.-New York
