back is close fitted. A sash of the silk
passes under the front and grows wide in
the back till it becomes pointed, and is
then shirred into two standing vertical
ruches. This device gives to the back a
narrow appearance. A wide collar OF gui-
pure lace falls round the shoulders and
Jabots down each side the front. The
sleeve is called Louis Trieze and about it
column might be written. 1t falls in an
inimita bic spiral puff like she'll which
its color suggests, and is caught in below
the elbow whence it sends out a sort OF
masterpiece Of art.
Thin gauzes which have always been
reserved for ball gowns will this summer
be made up into high necked gowns for
afternoon receptions, teas, etc. When so
used they require a framing of velvet to
give them character.
Observe how M. Blossier manages this
material in a tea gown. 1t is a high
necked gown of pale blue mousseline de
sole printed over with irridescent soap
bubbles. 1t is made over ivory satin,
close fitted. The mousseline also fits
close in the back, but the front is a loose
festoon drapery from armhole to armhole,
velvet ribbon, pansy colored, makes a
belt, passing under the front and over the
back where it ends with bow. There is
a neck band of the same velvet, and a
bow of the same with long floating ends
posed on the left shoulder. Blue marabout
edges the neck and mousseline skirt. The
satin and mousseline skirts are made
separate and are not even tackled together

very full revers are added, edged with
narrow bands of silk braid, or sometimes
satin ribbon. This adds immensely to
the effect and is very little trouble.

Mr.. Simson writes thus: II consider
that exposure to leopard on foot, with
due precaution and proper weapon, il
only a fair sporting risk, and accidents
must happen occasionally" Mr.. Sim
son is certainly entitled to speak. He
shot many ieopards on foot; he was
twice badly wounded by leopard, but
on one of these occasions third leopard
unexpectedly attacked him from behind,
when he had already killed two Others
in the same patch Of grass jungle.
Mr.. Simson mentions that an old
French gentleman whom he knew used
to go about hunting for leopards with q
nondescript sort of dog, half pariah and
half spaniel. when the dog smelled a
leopard, he would cock his ears and point
out from respectful distance where the
leopard lay, The Frenchman kept on
peeping and peering about, wholly re-
gardless of anything the leopard might
do in the way of attack, till he could
sight the animal. He then killed him
almost to a certainty with single shot. "

ed in order to save time in boiling the
juice. After being boiled down to a
thick, granular substance, it is turned
into the centrifugal circular iron jars,
which are set to whirling at the rate Of
1900 revolutions minute and so sepa-
rate the sparkling sugar crystals from
the fluid. The sugar is then dumped,
still hot, on clean floor and from there
shoyeled into sacks. Then it used to be
slowed away until Claus Spreckels came
along and offered his price for it.
This was the tranquil and easy going
way of doing things which it struck Claus
Spreckels 10 years ago could be improved
upon to his own advantage. The island Of
Maui, next north of Hawaii in the group,
is made up Of two separate clusters
of mountain peaks 90 or 80 miles apart
and joined together by a low lying strip
Of land-so low lying That it looks as
though Maui had once been two islands,
with the sea flowing over this strip
There are several hundred square miles
Of this lowland, and there are no natural
water courses flowing through it.
The planters on Maui had consequently
never attempted oplant sugar in it, and
had confined themselves TO the mouths
Of the valleys on either side of it, But
Spreckels thought it was good land and
that water could DO brought to it. So
he set TO work to build an enormous
fa.. 1sAnl, h.,
cluster Of mountains. There were sew
eral formidable gulches to be crossed on
the way. Through these he laid gigantic
iron pipes and proceeded on his way to
the plain, while the Hawaiian planters
looked ON at what seemed to them the
scheme Of mailman. 1t took 81 900, 600
TO finish that ditch, but it was finished.
Then Spreckels proceeded to plant seed
cane over this seemingly desert land and
to turn his water supply upon it, and it
was not long until his faith was justified
Several sugar mills, made with American
machinery and on scale never before
attempted on the islands, were erected,
turning out in the aggregate several
hundred tons day. Steam plows were
introduced and patent devices Of various
sorts. In 1881 there was unique rail
way running from one of these mills to
the shipping place, the motive power of
which was the trade wind, utilized by
sails Now there are locomotives to
pull trains Of cars along temporary
tracks to various parts of the plantations
and bring in the cane.
1t had always been the custom in the
islands TO take the sugar up to Honolulu
and reship it from there to San Fran
cisco, owing to the lack of landing facil-
tiles on the other islands. But Spreckels
built himself wharves and had vessels
come to his plantation. This offended

1t Had Seven Thousand HustIjng Citizens
Where Now but Hundred Remain.
"In 1870 you might have Travelled 900
miles and not have found as lively town
as Kit Carson, Colo.," said Station Agent
Billy Dunaway the other day as the Kan
sas Pacific train fingered before the sta
ton house at the now quiet little town
OH Big Sandy creek in eastern Colorado.
"This was then the terminus Of the Den
yer line of the Union Pacific, and you
can just bet the camp was a hummer.
There were over 1000 people here, and a
gayer crowd you never saw. The popu-
lation was made up Of railroad men,
cowboys, mule skinners, gamblers and a
preacher.
1.-THE latter was sometimes lonely, but
the $3.50 other people in camp were fair
| ly sociable and managed to have "A mod
erately good time, and everything ran
wide open, and in the palmiest days Of
| the camp there were A saloons, dance
halls, theaters and all the other things
necessary to the fabrication of existence
in the gay and bounding west. For two
years things were redhot, with fights,
shooting matches and lynching bees near
ly every night
"Some of the old time en-, iaeers who
were jerking steam over .c line then
say regular daily news item in railway
circles for awhile was to the effect that
man or two had been hung the night
| before to the bridge on the Sandy. The
| lynching of a man for murder was an
unusual event, but dire vengeance was
wreaked on the petty burglar, horse
| thief or other unprincipled offender who
did not have the nerve to shoot, but
sneaked around after dark to do his ne
farious work. When dealing faro, the
gamblers preserved peace and quietude
In the game by wearing two 6-shOotera
silently swinging from their belts, and
when in a game of 'stnd' the pack was
always secured from being blown away
| by one Of these same free moral agents.
Some stiff games were played in those
days, and when cowboy came in off
the roundup, or when the freighters
came in from long trip off to Mexico
and Arizona, or pay day on the line
came along, money was stacked foot
high on the cloth.
"After the camp had been running in
this way for two years the road was put
on through to Denver, and the crowd
followed. Where once you could see
over 1000 people there are now hun
dred or so, and all that remains Of the
former glory Of this namesake Of old
Kit Carson is the nameless barnyard
you see up there on the hill, lot OF
broken beer bottles and desertion."-

A Disturber at n Rehearsal.

Julius Eichberg writes: "At the occa-
sion of a musical festival in Dusseldorf
| witnessed a scene that produced gen.
eral and not unjustifable excitement
among those present. 1t was at the last
rehearsal of Beethoven's ninth or choral
symphony, and the great hall was filed
with people from near and far anxious
to hear the then but little known work.
While the orchestra played the first
movement we noticed a dark bearded,
specialized, middle aged man in the au-
dience, who had score before him and
was gesticulating wildly, being evident
iy very much dissatisfied with the per
Torrance. Suddenly he arose, advanced
toward the orchestra and began to shout:
"'This is all wrong. II was not thus
that my immortal friend, Beethoven,
wanted his masterpiece to be played
You ought to play it much slower. and
In this way he began 10 beat time Wig
orously to the astonished musicians, en-
tirely ignoring Mendelssohn, who con-
Quoted the symphony. At this moment
several people forcibly elected the dis
turber from the hall. The man was the
we'll known Professor Anton SCHNEIDER,
Beethoven's constant friend during the
last years Of his life and the author Of a
Biography of the Master. '"--Boston

and their vessels stopped touching at

and San Francisco instead of once a

kaua money and was made Sir Claus

There are plantations in these islands
which yield as high as eight tons Of sugar
to an acre of cane. Compare this with
the yield Of Louisiana plantations, which
is from 1t to l tons of sugar to the acre,
and it will be perceived that Spreckels

Worlds fair of Paris, which is planned
for the year 1900.

departure from the usual toy arrange
ment of miniature models, Eiffel towers,
etc., and advocates the erection of a city
on site sufficiently large to illustrate
practically all the most prominent new
inventions, as well as the fruits of mod
ern electro technique. The cost of erect
ing this future model city is to be COW
cred by renting out the houses, hotels,
ETC., as well as all the stores to the ex-

Churches as Places of Refuge In War.

Our ancestors transacted good deal
of business Of one kind Sr another in and
about their churches. To begin with,
the churches of old England in turbulent
times were regarded as places of safe
custody for public and private property.
In the border land of England and Scot
land the idea was carried out still more
completely, and churches. or at least
their towers, became regular fortresses
and not infrequently We're objects of Of
fenses and defense We may note in
rural England that in the cases of an
cient churches the towers are often not
merely disproportionate in size to the
rest of the church, but are carefully and
strongly built, evidently with an object.
Even in peaceful Surrey and Sussex
the belfries are veritable strong rooms
with barred windows and massive doors
and often contain q massive treasure
chest. Hither, at the first alarm, money
and valuables were hurried, for beyond
the securityof thick walls and bars and
bolts there was an egis of sanctity
which in a superstitious age protected
the building from the most ruthless of
foes. The fortresslike construction of
many of tho border land churches is an
interesting study to antiquarians.-Lon-
don Standard.

Sandwich Islanders and Their Ills.

When Kanaka feels bit out of sorts
he imagines that he has not been diligent
enough in his devotions to some particu-
lar god. He Immediately procures
bunch of ava or something in the nature
of comforting drink, and after short
prayer to his mountain or river deity he
murmurs apologetically, Here's your
food" or Here's your drink" as the
case may be. Then he devours the sol
ids or liquids himself. II the Kanaka's
health improves, the god is appeased. If
sickness still creeps over him, he turns
TO the Kahuns. One of the guild is inn
mediately hunted up and approached
with n bunch of ava or pig. Then the
Kanaka dilates upon his infrmities, and
the Kahuna begins preparing to drive
out the sickness or the evil spirit.
The patient is stripped and laid fiat,
and with bunch of ii leaves the Ka-
huna rubs him all over, murmuring
meaningless words the while. If the
Kanaka gets well, the Kahuna's influ-
ence is increased. If the Kanaka dies, he
was a doomed man anyhow, and the Ka-
huna did his best. Such Of the Kanakas
as patronize Kahuna nowadays do it
covertly, and the Kahunas keep under
cover.-Honolulu Cor. Chicago Tribune.
An English Duke Receives "a Tip.
The English journals mention an
amusing epilogue of pilgrimage to
Rome. Just after the last train which
brought the pilgrims back to London
had entered the Victoria station an old
lady burdened with packages was with
difficulty trying to find carriage when
middle aged man, simply dressed, ap-
preached and offered his services.
Thinking she had to do with one Of
the employees, the good woman gave him
her bundles, which the obliging man
carried to the end of the station and
then, hailing cab, placed the old lady
and her impedimenta within, and giving
the driver tho address she had indicated,
called to him to drive on. AS the car
riage was about to roll off the woman
placed a fee of twopence in the hand of
the man who had rendered her the serv-
ice.
He was simply the Duke of Norfolk.
The duke pocketed the twopence, think
ing the adventure very original. More
over, it was the first time in his life that
he had ever earned any money by hi,
own labor.
