Five States-Iowa, Vermont Mich
igan, Wisconsin and Illinois-have no
interest-bearing debt, and there are
six or seven other States whose bonded
debts are mere bagatelles. Among the
number are New Jersey, Nebraska,
Kentucky and California To for
eigner, or anyone else not familiar with
the facts, remarks the Chicago Herald,
this would convey the impression that
the Americans bear an extremely light
burden of debt. Such an idea would
be somewhat modified, however, by the
knowledge that the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe pays interest on $500,
600, 900 or more, the annual interest
charge exceeding $25, 600, 0O0-almost
as much as the entire interest charge
of the Federal Government. The
Southern States have bonded indebt-
edness of Sl44, 900, 900 in round num-
bers. The total bonded indebtedness
of ell the States in 1890 was 1924, 900. :
900, on which the annual interest
charge was $40, 900, 900. The total
bonded debt of the States is about one
third of the National interest bearing
debt

The question has often been raised
whether or not the sender of tele-
gram was obliged to use the blanks
provided by the telegraph company
for the purpose. This point has been
decided, states the Chicago Record, in
the South Dakota Supreme Court. The
court held that the Western Union
Telegraph Company, against which suit
was brought, must accept messages
rendered whether or not written upon
the regular telegraph blanks. The
plaintiff evidently combined enter prise
with public spirit in his method of
testing the point. He was awarded
$50 damages under the decision and
has forty other cases pending.

HOW TO DRESS FOR TRAMpINa.

In picturesque country, a Walking
Club is productive of many jolly times !;
and aside from the pure enjoyment,
the gain in health from this exercise is
very great. OF course, for this, the
question of dress for the girls and
women comes up and it is an impor-
tant one, for much of the benefit to be
derived depends upon its suitability
and comfort. The first consideration
is lightness, the next ease. Every
garment, from the skin outward, should
be SO made and shaped that it will not
get out of place you never want to be
reminded of your clothes. A dressing
that has been tried for many years in
eight and ten mile tramps, in the
mountains and down by the sea, and
has proved the acme of comfort, con-
sists of a raw silk undervest-for cool
days, high-necked and long-sleeved !;
for hot ones, low-necked and short
sleeved-loose, perforated corset, COM
bination garment of pongee, and di-
vided skirt of the same material. An
outing gown of dark blue serge or of
gray summer camel's hair-clearing
the ground by four or five inches-a
silk or French flannel blouse, soft felt
hat with brim that shades the eyes, and
mouse-colored laced boots of ooze
calf, complete the outfit. The adyan-
tage of the pongee for underclothing
is that it is cool, soft and light; it does
not stick or cling as cotton or linen
will. If you do not want divided
skirt, make an ordinary petticoat of
pongee to wear under the gown skirt
For an all-dny tramp when it is nee
essary to carry the midday luncheon,
it is simple matter to divide this,
packing it in small boxes or baskets
which can be suspended over the
shoulders, so that the weight, shared
by all, will be felt by none. 1t is ab-
solutely necessary for comfort that
the hands be left as free as possible.
A drinking cup can be hung from the
belt, and field glass over the shoul-
der; their weight, thus distributed is
imperceptible. .-Demorest.

THE AUSTRALIAN WOMAN.

Though pretty, tall and well-form ed,
says the North American Review, the
Australian woman is not graceful. Her
toilet has none of the chic of the Par
isienne's, and little of the sobriety of
the English woman's. Overdressed or
dowdy, she produces the impression of
not only having little taste, but no ar
tistic sense of the fitness of things.
Stylish and elegant women are to be
seen more frequently in Melbourne
than elsewhere. Dress is dear to the
soul of an Australian, and much is
spent on it. Australians hug the idea
of equality, and believing in uniform
ity of dress as the sign of equality
often sacrifice actual comfort to OBJ
tain fashionable clothing.
An Australian family makes a brave
show on holidays There may be bare
feet and rags in the house, but there
are cheap feathers and gloves in the
street. Vanity is stronger in the Aus
tralian woman than ambition, just as
Incidence is more inherent than en-
ergy. She is clever, but not intellec-
tual accomplished oftener than highly
educated. Tact is natural to her also
a quick sense of perception. The Aus
tralian is affectionate and in manner
hospitable, friendly and sometimes
sympathetic. Strangers to-day, to-
morrow you are intimately ac
quainted In friendship there is no
tentative stage, but plunge in medias
res.

THE ART OF GRACEFUL WALKING.

1t would seem sometimes that the
art of graceful walking might be num-
bered among the lost sciences, so few
women master the accomplishment, OF
even acquire any approach to perfec-
tion in this exercise, which is the
foundation of all others. Every one
succeeds in propelling themselves
along by means of their feet, but that
is not true walking. An English au-
thority says: "The body should be
held erect, the shoulders down, chest
extended, and the leg moved from the
hip, the whole figure above being i'm
movable. The movement from the
knee is said to be the secret of bad
walking, combined with the discom,
tort of tight shoes and high heels,
which turn the figure in most un-
graceful manner. A short, brisk walk
is beneficial, while tramp of miles
results in weariness.

The Railroad Gazette has collected
statistics of the attempts made during
the first six months of the present
year at train -wrecking and train
robbing in the United States. Con
trary to the general supposition re-
garding these crimes, the statistics
show that the greater number of them
have occurred not in the sparsely
settled Western States, but in the
older and well-settlod States. The
figures show siXty-one attempts to
wreck trains and twenty-one attempts
to rob tham. Massachusetts, and
Illinois head the list in the number of
attempts to wreck trains, anil Ohio
follows. In these three advanced
States were male more than one-hllf
OF all the attempts to wreck trains, an
the State of New York cones next in
order. The only explanation olferal
for this prepondsrance os train-wroc}l-
ing in well-settlel and, generally
speaking, well-Soverned States, is that
the mileage of railroads is greater in
those States than in others, and that
tramps, who are responsible for most
attempts to wreck trains, flourish in
thickly settled regions. In the
geographical distribution of attempts
at train-robbing Iowa heads the
list; Indian Territory aud OkIa-
homa taken together have the same
number as Iowa. Texas follows. nnl
then come Kansas and Nebraska Sixty
seven per cent. of all the train rob
berries or attempted train robberies
occurred in these four States and t95
Territories,
