the company commanders. There was con-

distribution, and some regiments declined to
receive them, because, as they argued, each man
in the regiment was as deserving as any other.
Some of the medals were not actually dig

were not ready at once, and the men selected
became scattered. The medals are both rare
and valuable. As proof of this, it may be men,

A dainty evening gown Of white silk has
trimmings and girdle Of white lace over light
blue satin. The gown is very full, but it is

make second puff The lower of these puffs
is drawn up along the inside seam until it quite
reaches the upper one.
The second sleeve has long, close fitting
sleeve finished at the top with huge puff of
striped material. The connection between the
two is covered with band Of "moss" trim.
ming. sleeve thus made was of brown,
the lower sleeve velvet, the upper of striped
silk in Persian colors-reds and browns mostly.
The next sleeve more easily recognized by
its description than number, has shoulder
puff. and then the sleeve for the rest of the way
consists of onIy,,four ribbons canght at intervals
and finished at the wrist with another ribbon
band. 1t makes pretty sleeve for evening
gowns and perhaps might be useful for Summer
gowns for evening wear.
Another sleeve, sometimes called the "Vene-
tian sleeve" has the long sleeve of velvet, even
as the others. The cuff is finished in deep
point A dark green wool gown had sleeves
like this OF dark-green silk and velvet of the
same shade, with light-blue silk to puff out be-
tween the slashes; for the double puff is slashed
twice, each one with long slashes, then tho
slashings are faced back with the light-blue.
The blue is putfed and sewed to the lining;
then the slashed green puffs put over them.
The bands across and at the bottom of the
puffs were of velvet, lined with blue, which
showed very little on either side. This
sleeve, in order to be made easily, must have
the lining Of the proper shape, and then the
outside can be fastened right to it and the
sleeve sewn right up along its seams. The puffs
! are only made on the top part. The under side
of the sleeve is made Of velvet. cut out exactly
like the lining. 1t is difficult to make the
sleeve any other way. This sleeve spoken Of
here was made carefully, and it took the girl
half day for each sleeve she spared not silk
in the puts either. with the result most pic
turesque pair of sleeves that wonld do credit to
any olden- time court maiden or page.
The last sleeve is a short one of lace, ruffled
in at the arm-hole and then caught up to the
shoulder with bow.

Pale pink is the shade most valuable in

Susan B. Anthony says that We arc on the
verge of an era of unmarried women. Our
civilization is changing. Daughters cannot be
supported at home. and there Is nothing there
to busy them. Young women used to have to
spin, weave and make carpets and soap, while
now all that is done at tho factories. Young
men do not make very much money to support
their wives, and there is such . craze for dissi-
patton among them that the women would
rather 60 into a store than marry. Dixi! Susan
B. Anthony has spoken.

Another royal wedding has taken place-this
time German one. The youngest sister OF
the Emperor. Princess Margaret, was married
to Prince Frederick Charles of Uesse. First
there was the civil ceremony, and then the re-
lipious one. The bridal costume was white
silk crepon ornamental with daisies. 1t was
confined at the waist with golden girdle.
Then, she wore diamond necklace. After the
religious ceremony came the wedding banquet,
and then the e" Fackeltanz" In this dance tho
guests took their places in semi circles to the
right and left of the throne in the order of
their rank. Twelve Ministers Of State, carry.
ing each candle, invited the bridal couple to
dance, then they escorted thcm around the
hall. The bride then invited the Emperor to
dance; the bridegroom invited the Empress.
After the two couples had made the circuit of
the room, IL pages took the IL torches and
handed them to other guests, who continued
the ceremony until all the guests were dane
ing. Finally. the pages led the procession, es-
corting the bridal couple to their apartments.
Here the Mistress of the Robes distributed
garters to the gentlemen, and the wedding cele-
brations for the first day were over.

for 1900 years for its few miles Of stone,
that its black outline against the sky,
with nothing to measure it with but the
fading stars. is dwarfed and spoiled. It
is only after the sun begins to turn the
lights out, and you are able to compare
it with the great ships at its base, and
you see the baHlements and the mouths
of cannon and the clouds resting ON its
top, that you understand it. And then
when the outline of the crouching lion
that has faced all Europe for hundred
years comes into relief you remember it

WEARING THE TARTAN AND PLAID.

An Istereseing Phase Of Scottish Charae-
ter Brought Out In Debate.
There was an interesting debate in the
English house Of commons . few days
ago touching what is probably, next to
the Roman toga, the most famous article
Of clothing that has ever been worn by
man. It arose out Of plan to consoli-
date the killed regiment known as the
Seventy-ninth or ''Cameronian High
landers' with the Scots Grenadier
Guards, regiment which has nothing
Scotch about it beyond the fact that Scott
was the name of its first colonel.
This plan was no sooner noised abroad
than 1t excited in Scotland the deepest
indignation, being considered deliberate
attempt to blot from existence one of the
renowned highland regiments which i'll
kilt and tartan have. under the Brit
ish flag, filled the world with Scottish
glory. 1t is now nearly q century and
half since these regiments wero raised,
and for fully a century they We're, if not
highland, really Scotch regiments. AS
the supply Of real highlanders began to
run low, either through emigration or
dislike of soldering, the lowlai,dcrs be-
gan to feel themselves hichlsnders under
the magic influence of SCOTS novels.
Those only who remember the account
which Macaulay. gives Of the loathing
With which the lowland Scotch in the
eighteenth century locked Oh the high
land garb and highland manners and
customs will be able to appreciate the
force of the spell by which Scott succeed
ed. early in tho nineteenth century, in
Gisposing nearly every Scotch,nan to the
notion that the kilt, the tartan, the phila-
beg and blue bonnet were his original
national raiment. in which he looked his
best and which nothing but the advance
of a gross aud material civilization COM
PEELED him to lay aside.

TO weeks ago my opponent, through
the COURIER, expressed her views quite
freely in regard to your humble servant
Isaac, but in finishing her volumlnous
speech she see-saws off by saying, "she
don't claim to answer Isaac, but it is
simply her say" Very we'll; that's
right; each and every citizen has right
to their say. But as long as my "Poer
Old Dad" did claim to answer 1t, or my
friend who had "her say" 1t seems un-
called for for me to speak further.
When nay antagonists come out fairly
and say they have made an answer to
me, then Will have my say again. In
conclusion will say the lady who had
her say is entitled to public respect,
from the fact that she shows by her
writings that she is lady In every
sense of the word. When hearing some
people cypress themselves it reminds
me of the following lines:
Oh would some power the gift to give us,
To hear ourselves as others hear us;
1t would from many censur free us,
And foolish, foolish notions.

Suppose that in the wide extent Of the

diatom Of Q specially interesting charac-
teri do not mean one species with its
myriad individuals, but one solitary
specimen of particular microscopic or
ganism, which happened to flourish some-
where or other in the north or south

Suppose that absolutely nothing fur

Of this individual object, it might, for
anything we could tell, lie beneath a
mighty ice foe in the arctic regions; it
might be miles deep in the Caribbean

mouth of the Amazon; it might be of
the Cape of Good Hope or amid the
Antarctic icebergs.
Would any reasonable man who de-

of Cornwall and lifted single drop from
