FASHION CAN'T BE FORCED.

style In Costume Generally tho Result OF
Accident or Incident.
From the first beginnings of the his
tory OF dress, which date from the gar
den OF Eden, there is no instance of
the deliberate adoption Of a costume.
No person or body of persons has ever
said: "Go to, we will now make Il
fashion," and has made it. The his
tory OF dress Is the history of the acct
dental and the incidental. It does not
require very long memory to look
back over the futile efforts to force
fashions, supported by the most unan-
swerable arguments, on the unoffend-
ing women of this country. The New
York Evening Sun instances bloomer
costume, which was organized and pro-
NOTED by Mrs. Amelia Bloomer, now a.
hard-working woman in long skirts
out west. A few years ago the divided
skirt, which Lady Barberton has for
twenty years tried to coax English
women into, was busily taken up and
eloquently promulgated in this coun-
try. A number of outwardly well-clad
women were really persuaded to put it
on. 1t proved to be not only ugly, but
a nuisance, and the same women not
only discarded it, but put on tights; it
easy to go down hill. The pro-
moters OF the divided skirt now call
themselves q national council, and
have put forth another scheme of dress
for women. National is large word.
1t is pretty safe to say that unless the
national council is backed up by the
army and navy there is very little hope
that their costumes, even those un-
qualifedly supported by reason and
anatomy, will be adopted by the wom-
en- OF the country. Neither reason nor
anatomy has ever had much to do In
enforcing fashion.

REAL SOURCE OF THE NILE.
Dr. Baumann's Explorations Seem to Set-
tie a Long Disputed Point.

DIR. Baumann's Explorations Seem to Set-
tie a Long Disputed Point.
The problem ,of the ultimate source
OF the Nile seems finally to have
reached solution through the recent
explorations of DIR. o. Baumann, saws
the New York Evening Post. Thirty
years have elapsed since Speke sent to
the Royal Geographical society of Lon
don his famous laconic dispatch: s'The
Nile is settled" announcing the dis
covery by him of the great equatorial
lake Victoria Nyanza, supposed to. be
the main head basin of Africa mighty
river. This discovery was followed
soon afterward by that of second,
seemingly still larger, equatorial lake,
the Albert Nyanza, which divided the
honors of 'Conqueror of the Nile" be-
tween Speke and Sir Samuel Baker.
The progress of more modern African
exploration, while it has served in
many ways to bring about a truer
knowledge of the mutual relations of
these two large lakes than was known
to Speke and Baker, and to establish
the more posi- tive claims of the Vic
toria lake, had not, until DR.. Bau-
mann's journey, answered the still sig
nificant question regarding the posi-
tlon OF the headwaters of these lakes;
In other words, the actual fountain
head of the Nile had yet to be discov-
cred. This is now shown to be on the
eastern face of the "height of land"
which closely borders Lake Tan
ganyika on the northeast, the source
OF the Kagera, or Ruvuvu, q western
and the most powerful tributary of
the Victoria Nyanza. This position
was reached by DIR. Baumann on the
10th of September last. With it's source
thus placed between the third and
fourth parallels Of south latitude, the
Nile traverses thirty-fve degrees of
latitude and becomes a close rival in
length OF the combined Mississippi-Mis-
souri, system of rivers.
