HoMEsPun FOR, CLOTHING.
Material from Canada In Great Demand
Among Men of Fashion.

Material from G8n8O8 I" OEcd1 DoAHssA'SA
Among Men of Fashion.
Rough, picturesque material OF a
light gray or creamy color and coarse
as a towel is occasionally seen in the
streets of New York, worn by men OF
fashion during the hot weather. and
usually all three pieces of the suit are
worn together. Many people wonder
where this cloth comes from, says the
World, for it is not to be found in any
of the tailor shops and is never seen IN
ready-n1ade clothing.
The material is Canadian homespun.
1t is not the homespun which is made
in the steam mills. but is the real artl-
Gle. and it is made on hand looms by
the inhabitants of Canada during the
long winter here. No two pieces are
ever alike, and it is impossible to
s'match it," This cloth is admirably
suited for hot weather Its rough coat
makes it look thick and heavy. but it
is loosely woven and the wind blows
through it. Then, again. it can be
thrown into a tub and washed This
cloth comes in all varieties of gray and
contains no dye.
The habitant saves the heeces of his
sheep. one or two Of which are. likely
to be black lie mixes the black with
the white wool. and if he has no black
sheep his homespun will be all white.
The French, Canadian farmer wears
this homespun himself. 1t is SO cheap
in Canada and SO universally worn by
the poorer classes there that a gentle
man from Three Rivers says: Nobody
making any pretension OF fashion Or
style in Canada would wear the home
spun of the country. which. like blue
leans in some parts OF the west. is re-
garded as the mark of the country
man. Yet it is an excellent, honest,
serviceable and handsome material. |
have seen it in fashionable tailor
shops Of London, where it is sold for
d hig! price ON its merits. 1t has an
air of picturesque distinction pos
sessed by no other material tor mems
clothes.''
Who has ever seen American home
spun? That, TOO. never gets into the
New York market. The ho1nespun
made by the farmers and farmers
wives of Maine is handsome, closely
woven brown material, stained with
butternut juice. In the mountains Of
West Virginia also strong, serviceable
material is made and worn by the
poor whites.'' Most of the Scotch
homespuns are make in steam mills, as
are many of the Irish. From a CONNER
cial standpoint they are better cloths
than those made by hand, but they lack
the individuality of the latter, and are
not SO artistic.

CHINESE DELlCAClES.
Pigs and Poultry Put Up Attractive,y and
Sold Cheap.

The Chinese delicatessen store is re-
plete with the appetizing dishes of the
Chinese household. and they are done
up not only in better style, but with
1nnch better materials and more Hastily
than the average food Of All ordinary
Chinese family.
Every thing, says the New York Sun,
is exposed to view in the most con-
spicuons manner possible. A whole
pig, fat and juicy. soaked in highly
spiced liquor and then baked a crispy
brown while cooling in the air is
slightly anointed On its back with a rich
coat of See 70 vegetable OILY and salt,
The ears and nose are dyed in ver,nil-
ion; the entire carcass is made as at
tractive to the eye and as tempting TO
the appetite as possible; it is then
hung by it's little chubby tail upon a
hook near the door, in very much the
shop. When customer comes he is
asked which part Of the hog he wants.
1t is then chopped off at twenty-five
cents per pound. The same price pre-
walls throughout the entire pig.
The liver and entrails are cured sep
arately from the rest of the body, and
then are sold at half the rate of the
body. On an average three pigs 81 day
and q dozen or more of ducks and
chickens are disposed of in quarter
pound lots, besides other delicacies
The difference between a Caucasian
and Chinese delica lessen store is i'm
menSe.
The one always sells stale meat and
rotten cheese; the other roasts live

are prepared for roasting), chickens
and ducks in the same way.
The one costs hundreds Of dollars 70

the Chinese delicatessen shop costs
only the twenty dollars to bny the
meats and makes big profits, An or
binary hallway is amply big enough
for q good sized Chinese delicatessen
shop.

CAREFUL OF THEIR COAL.
Russian Warships Use Sail Exclusively
Unless In Hurry.

Russian Warships Use Sail Exclusively
Unless In a Hurry.
People who have been accustomed to
see in the new ships of the United
States navy the almost entire absence
of masts and spars have probably, in
many instances, been surprised at the
presence of tall masts and immense
sail spreads on the Russian ships re-
Gently in New York, says the Times.
The Russians make extensive use of
sails. The absence of Russian coaling
stations at various points Of the world
makes it imperative that the Russian
ships husband their coal supply. To
encourage the commanders of Russian
warships to use as little coal as posi-
bic, the Russian ministry OF marine, it
is said, makes provision for the dis
tribution in money among the officers
and men of warships Of a certain per-
centage of the value of the coal saved.
This allowance goes to the rnesses Of
the officers and sealnen. American
naval officers have noted on more than
one occasion, on passing Russian war
ships at sea, thatthe latter were nearly
always under full sail. The Dimitri
Donskoi, which visited New York re-
Gently, is reported to have sailed from
the Siberian coast to the west coast of
Europe. The Rynda sailed from Cron-
stadt to Montevideo The Russians
resort to coal only when entering and
leaving ports and when going into ac-
ton. or when they want to make a
rapid passage. The Russian ships,
while in American waters, had no oc-
casion to use dry docks. The two Ital-
ian cruisers, Giovanni Bausan and Da
goli, being upsheathed vessels, were
compelled to use dry docks while here.
Russian warships, when departing
from a Russian port, are fitted out with
view of remaining at sea, if neccs-
sary, for three years without making
port. With this view even the most
advanced types Of many of Russia. S
new ironclads are fitted with n1asts
and spars and carry, nearly all Of
them, the studding sail gear SO familiar
thirty years ago on fast American clip

Lightning at Sea.

An electric storm at sea is one of the
alarming experiences to which a mari
ner is exposed, but as matter of rec
ord it is one that is least fruitful in
disastrous results. AS a rule few pre-
cautions are taken to guard against
stroke Of lightning, especially in the
merchant service. Ships of war are
usually fitted with lightning conduc-
tors, precaution made necessary by
the explosives stored away in their
magazines. But these safeguards are
seldom seen on merchant vessel, and.
Judging by the extreme rarity OF the
cases where they have been struck,
Jacks claim that he IS safer on the
ocean than on shore during an electric
al disturbance must be admitted.

Philadelphia Boy Turned the Garden
Hose on One and Now Regrets 1t.
At least one boy on Catherine street
knows more about electricity and the
trolley than he did, and SO does his
father, says the Philadelphia Cali.
The other evening the boy was out in
front of his home, which is not far from
Broad street, preparing to sprinkle
the street and cool off the pavement.
The nice, black, shiny hose had just
been brought and it was his first ex-
perience at the job. He uncoiled tho
hose, coupled it on and turned on the
water. He first sprinkled the pave
ment literally and felt grateful at the
GOODNESS which seemed to pervade the
atmosphere. Then. he sprinkled the
street until the dust was all mud and
the water was trickling iii streams
into the cutters Still he kept up the
good work, and papa came out, lighted
cigar and sat do wn upon the steps to
see Johnny do his work. Then mamma
came out. too. and the neighbors who
were across the street admired the
family group. After wetting down The
street and everything else IN reach,
johnny looked around for more worlds
to conquer. Suddenly he glanced up
ward and his eyes rested on the SHIN
ing trolley wire which stretched away
in the distance It looked rather hot
and he concluded 10 sprinkle it as an
evidence of good faith, Without con-
sulting papa he turned the hose on the
trolley wire. and struck it fair with
nice, plump, strong stream Of water,
while he held the nozzle Of the hose
the better TO direct the stream. Then
Johnny was struck by the current OF
electricity which flew down the stream
to meet him. He dropped to the SIDE
walk and the hose turned loose, sprink-
ling papa and mamma well before they
could escape. Then the adn1iring
neighbors laughed and papa grabbed
Johnny, ]ugged MIN into the shed and
padded him with a single, after
which he delivered a lecture on elec-
tricity aud the dangers of the trolley.
Then he fondled Johnny again with Ia
trunk strap and put dry suit OF
clothes on himself

COST OF BEING q PRINCE.

Kings and Othee Royal Travellers Being
Scarce, They Pay High for Everything.
There have been times when a court
kings were magnificent who could have
understood the position and felt the
pride of the master of Ravenswood;
but, according to the London Specta-
tor, all that has passed away, probably
forever. The prince of to-day who is
to be magnificent at all, who is to be
free in his movements, to take trains
when he likes, to entertain like any
other dignitary, to show good horses
and many of them. to keep servants
sufficient to secure that guests accus-
toned to luxury be not neglected, to
travel when he pleases, to patronize
art, to encourage charity and to live
when necessary among equal princes,
as becomes the nation he represents,
must pay away money at every turn
and always be ready with more. Every
thing costs; from the special train
which secures punctuality and free
dom from pressure, to the rooms which
loyal or hospitable crowding render
y
to speak OF good management, and: of
course, there is such thing, and it is
worth, perhaps, thirty per cent. OF adj
ditional income But no extent of
good management will reduce the cost
of any kind Of magnifcence, or do
away with the feeling of the innkeeper
who charged g. royal guest franc
apiece for eggs, not because eggs were
scarce, but because kings were. We
have heard Of charges paid by an In
dian yiceroy at a Paris hotel which
would have made MIR. Vanderbilt
vince. and there is not an uneducated
man in any land, who, if a prince dis
putes his charges, does not become
henceforth a republican. Nor, within
limits, is this feeling altogether unrea-
sonable. for the demands Of princes,
which are usually only demands for
freedom, upset the usual routine. just
as the queens train, though her maj
esty asks only a little extra security
and some privacy. upsets the routine
traffic GU the great railway by which
she travels. Moreover though extrav-
agance is vice, economy is often
foible, and one rather sylnpathizes
with the hint given by the noble who
assisted Louis Philippe in his search
after lost sovereign by lighting
bank note. State, in fact, in our days.
costs money, and it is as expensive to
be prince, if you live as a prince. as
to be Il spendthrift heir.

rHE EMPEROR REsENTs ADVICE.
His Young Majesty Of China Has Notions
as to His Own Education.

His Young Majesty Of China Has Notions
as to His Own Education.
The Pekin Gazette lately contained
a curious decree from the emperor re-
ferring to certain proposals that had
been made for his proper education.
An oficious censor presented a memoir
ial suggesting that the emperor should
restablish the former practice OF hav-
ing the classics aud other sacred writ
ings daily expounded to him. Upon
this his majesty observes: "Since we
have undertaken the task of govern
ing in person, we have daily received
in audience the officials of the netrop-
oils and the provinces, and done our
very utmost to rightly discern the
proper men and pass judgmenton their
actions. Such time as remains at our
disposal after transacting the multi
tudinous affairs of state we devote to
the study Of the classics and historical
records, often engaging in discussion
with the imperial tutors, and never
permitting ourselves for moment to
indulge in luxurious ease"
The great Kien Lung explained his
objection to the old practice to be that
the censors whose business it was to
expound the classics in rotation. and
thereby to raise the standard of moral
virtue, made use of the opportunity to
tender their advice on things in gem
eral, and to air their private views. A
few years later the same great ruler
publicly announced that after listen
ing for more than ten years to the ir-
relevant comments of his tutors on
public affairs he was tired OF them,
and that these unenlightened and I'M
statesnanlilze eapositions must stop.
A later emperor said much the same.
With these presidents of his ances-
tors to guide him, the present emperor
concludes his decree as follows: 1.-TWO
emperors have thus expressed their
views with regard to this matter, and
the conclusion they arrived at was
that these expositions were a mere
fraud that they did not advance a true
understanding Of the principles Of gov
eminent; that those concerned cndenv-
ored to put forward their private
views and by dattery carry out their
false designs. We see through all
this quite clearly. and it would be well
were the censor TO reverently peruse
the views of former soyereigns in re-
gard to this matter. His memorial is,
moreover, in many respects obscure.
and his arguments not to the point.
His proposition need not be enter
