. The Dress Of British DANES.

The average British dame or damsel
cares far too little for the fit of her gar.
ments. She does not seem to understand
the graceful lines of well cut corsage
still less the necessity of having those
lines follow those of her figure. 1t is not
necessary that dress should fit tightly
to fit well, but when it bulges at the back
and wrinkles under the arms, is too short
waisted in one place and too long wasted
in another, the effect, even of q gown In
satin or of velvet, is utterly disastrous.
But Its English wearer dons it and is con-
tent Herewith.
Then, too, in regard to the latest fash

Tea and Camphor In rransit.

Ono Of the big. English tramn steamers
pier between the sectional docks and the
bridge filled the east side with Q mixture
of odors peculiar to the far east, the
most, prominent among them being the
pungent aroma of camphor.
"Halloo," said one of a group who were
walking down South street. s'Let's go
down and see them unload the tea ship"
"No you DON'T" said second man,
mo tea there" saS .
Argument followed, suppers were wa
gered, and the question was settled by a
visit to the Hankow, the steamerwhich
was at the pier. The first speaker knew
more when they went away from the
pier, for he learned that no tea is carried
on q steamer which carries camphor,
and that no matter what composed the
rest of the cargo. the camphor was kept
In separate, closed room and was only
taken at an exceedingly high rate Of
freight.
So carefully is tea handled and so pen
etrating is the odor Of camphor that the
two are not allowed on the same pier
together, even in the open air, with 300
feet Of space between them. The next
time he smells camphor he will not go
down to the ship to see tea unloaded.--

senator stanford and womanhind,

Senator Stanford attested in two noble
instances the high regard in which be
held womankind, His respect for wom-
an in general he recorded by giving her
equal rights with men in Stamford uni
versity. His regard for her in particular
he showed by bis will, in which the great
bulk Of his fortune was left absolutely to
his wife. A great many people are In
terested-some Of them vitally-to see
whether these two important actions
will work together for good. Practically
Mr.. Stanford bequeathed Stanford uni
versity to his wife.
1t is true he left the university about
s2.500,0 900, but that is far from being a
large enough sum to keep the institution
running on the scale on which it is con-
Quoted now.
Happily Mrs. Stanford's interest in it
has always been quite as lively as her
husbands. Yet it has happened before
now that the man and wife who have
been one so long as both have lived have
turned out to be different one after the
man has died.-Harper's Weekly.

Very Sick Mantle Report De-
nied by the Officials At

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20. The Press
publishes four-column article, reiter-
ating the statement that President
Cleveland submitted to an operation on
the yacht Oneida, for the removal of a
cancer, requiring the cutting away of a
considerable part OF his iawbone. So
far no serioua effaet han hean felt, but
the Press says Cleveland is still very
sick and the physicians fear mortal
disease is still lurking in his system. A
few days ago Colonel Lamont said in
New York: 'The president is sick
man; how sick we cannot tell"
The Press says the operation took
place at the time of the presidents pre-
vious visit to Buzzard's Bay. The
wound seemed to heal easily and natur-
ally. Now the physicians hope that all
the virus is removed and that his full
recovery will result. He is said to be
improving daily.

why Newport Lacks single Men.

One reason why there are no more
young men in Newport is because those
bachelors who in times gone by were
fortunate enough to be the guests of the
young married women rather exceeded
the bounds of good behavior by accept
ing invitations to dine at other houses
without consulting their hostesses. A
young Englishman. who has been made
much of in New York, was asked to spend
Sunday at Newport and Immediately on
arrival informed the lady of the house
that she needn't feel at all bothered by
getting up things to amuse him, az he
had accepted invitations for every meal
during his stay in the place. This was
simply one Of the many cases, and final
ly the young women have agreed that
they do not care to merely keep lodging
houses OF course it is very well to say
that women Of the present day have
made SO much of the men that they are
a trife spoiled, but the ordinary rules Of
politeness should hold good, no matter
where or when.-Cor. Vogue.

Effects OF the Storm on the North At
lantic Ceast.
New York, Aug. 29.-The storm
which swept over the city and surround
ing country last night, lssted from mid
night till eight O'Clock this morning.
Like the one of few days ago it
originated in the Weet Indies, but in
stead of following the coast it swept
more inland, and reached out in every
direction for q distance OF more than
1900 miles. As almost all the telegraph
connections are broken the sig
nal service Ia unable to give
q complete report of its course and exact
direction, but local observations indicate
that it probably made it's way to the
Eea through the st. Lawrence valley.
The tides in the bay were unusually
high, owing to the southerly wind, and
the waves were angry looking. Vessels
found great difficulty in making head
way against them.
Many houses in this city were un.
rooted or demolished and wires of all
descriptions broken. The Long Island
and Jersey shore resorts suffered more
than from the storm of last week. Sew
eral wrecks on the water are reported,
and when the storm abates others are
expected to be heard from. Railroad
communication between the Jersey
shore resorts and Philadelphia has
been cut off.
At Philadelphia two electrocutions
occurred this morning as the result of
the storm. The Delaware river was
higher than for years and the wharves
and structures along the river front of
Philadelphia were flooded and consider
able damage resulted. The dry docks at
Champs shipyards were damaged to the
extent of SIC, 900 by the high tide.
Heavy dsmsge to property was done
at New Haven, Ct., by the storm. Shade

tainments of the ancient inhabitants OF
America. 1t ia entirely different from
any system known to ancient Europe,
