The notes are previously Cancelled by
punching hole through the amount
and tearing off the signature OF the

in II closed furnace and the only

JAPANESE WOMEN.

AS rule, the young and middle
aged japanese omen are quite good
looking, subject to the peculiarities
of theirtype, writes a correspondent
of the Boston Herald from Yokohama
They have smooth, round faces, often
with fresh color, liquid black eyes,
exquisite hands and well-rounded
arms. Eheir feet are not so attract
i've, being spread out by the use Of
clogs or pattens. This foot-gear
tends to give them ungraceful gaits
ii sort of waddle-and it is con-
sidered the correct thing to toe in.
Their costume, almost always be-
coming as to material and color,
makes them look little dumpish.
This is especially the effect OF the
great bow Of the belt, or obi, worn
on the small Of the back, as much
as a foot square. In most cases the
faces wear amiable, contented ex-
pressions. They are not worn by
care or thought.
The women Of Japan are much
better treated than their sisters in
other Eastern nations, but they are
considere~ distinctly inferior to the
men, and are taught from their
earliest childhood obedience-first,
to their parents; then to their hus-
bands, and finally to their sons when
they become the heads Of their house
holds. But this does not appear to
weigh upon the japanese woman.
She is cheerful, docile and contented
with her lot, happy to serve in tie
station appointed her, with simple
tastes and good digestion, and polite
ness which never fails. They are
said to be good housekeepers, always
observant OF their duties, but the
simplicity Of their housekeeping re-
lieves them OF great measure Of the
care which wrinkles the brow OF the
New England housekeeper, for in
stance. Their houses, even the best
of them, are the simplest structures
containing almost moth
ing Of what we call furniture, and
their dresses require no art in their
cutting and manufacture.
Thus the two great causes Of worri-
ment from which our women suffer
do not exist for these simple crea-
lures. The introduction OF Occi-
dental dress is obviousls a great mis-
take. 1t means complete revolu-
tion Of the Japanese household 1t
means the change from sitting on the
clean matted floor TO chairs and
sofas. 1t means wrinkles for the
face OF the japanese woman.
Besides, it means the loss OF her
charms and no compensation for the f.

weddings are being made i'm rather
more elaborate style than those Of
last spring. The round waist has =
short basque OF either satin or lace,
and is draped with lace arranged as a
wide collar n bib, or as bretelles.
Soft chiffon is sometimes gathered
as vest, and forms stock and
cravat bow in most becoming fashion.
Sleeves are OF great fulness. and are
either of draped mutton-leg shape,
or else with the familiar balloon puff
TO the elbow.
The skirt is slightly draped on each
hip, making the first three breadths
represent 2 long over-skirt caught up
highest on the left, and held there
by garland Of orange blossoms ex-
tending down 10 the foot, and show
ing below bit of plain satin skirt
or lace tiounce. The train averages
eighty inches in length, though some
of the "diyinely tall' girls who now
dominate the scene require ninety
tive-inch trains. There are as many
breadths as are required for full
pleats, or else the back is in princesse
breadths that fall gracefully under
the veil.
4 wreath of orange blossoms is ar
ranged in the shape of small high
tiara, and placed far back on the
brides head, above high soft coil
of the hair. To this the tulle veil
is attached TO fall full and long on
the back and sides. II the veil is
worn over the face during the cere-
mony it should be slit up the middle,
and drawn back on the sides with the
other folds, or else small short veil
quite separate should be added for
the front. rs this can be easily re-
moved. The dressmaker cuts the
veil when the dress is being tried on
for the last time, shaping it to curve
properly with the train and pleating
it to the wreath. The whole para
phernalia should then be put away
out of sight until the wedding-day,
in order, says the dressmaker, that
the expression of the gown may not
be lost. = Harper's Bazar.

An Acrobatic Bullock.

At the great slaughter-houses in
the Partisan suburb OF La Nillette
there is n granary from which the
beasts awaiting execution are fed,
says the London News. The way To
it is up substantial ladder stair
case. One OF the bullocks, having
escaped from the pens, climbed up
this staircase before he could be
stopped. When his escape was first
discovered. he was seen on the stairs,
slowly and laboriously making his
way upwards. As soon as he reached
the granary two or three attendants
followed him and endeavored To get
him down, but all their efforts were
unavailing. There was nothing to be
done, therefore, but to leave the
beast there TO eat, and then see
whether he would be clever enough
to return by the way he went. Posi-
bly, some thought OF exhibiting him
in public may have crossed the minds
OF his guardians, but IL so they were
doomed TO disappointment The
stupid animal, instead OF trusting to
the staircase, got out OF window on
the opposite side OF the building, and
put one foot on thin ladder stand
ing against it. There was crash,
the ladder broke i'm half, and the
too adventurous bullock fell, break.

Royal Holders Of Gotham Bonds

IL Is generally known 10 the inhabi-
tants Of New York that the securities
offered by the metropolis Of North
America at one time attracted the
attention Of old-world capitalists
Few however, are aware that the
bonds Of the municipality are held
by some Of the aristocracy and
crowned heads Of Europe, who have
also invested large sums in New York
real estate.
The latter holdings are usually con-
cealed under the name OF some per-
son or firm empowered by the real
owner, as such ownership is pro-
hibited by law. II is well-known.
however, that Louis Napoleon, late
Emperor Of the French, when his
throne became unstable, threw out
an anchor TO windward by placing
large amounts here. The real estate
then bought is still i'm the hands OF
Louis Napoleon's widow, the ex-Em-
press Eugene.
Queen Victoria, too, has appreci-
ated the advantage of New York "a "a
field for investment, and no incon-
siderable portion Of that royal income
which the House OF Commons peri
endeavors TO reduce has been
incorporated into handsome brown
stone fronts on fashionable avenues.
and lots Of ground occupied by bus-
ness structures on leasehold tenure.

ABOUT SKIRTS.

Double and triple skirts, draped
skirts, haring gored models with
pointed apron overskirts, skirts with
deep yoke tops, and others killed or
accordion-pleated their entire length,
or bell-shaped in front, with deep
organ pleats in the back, each and all
come up fo- favor among the season 5
new creations. A very popular style
is the model with draped overdress
on one side to show bit Of contrast
ing underskirt. Often this drop skirt
is bordered with deep band of
neutral-tinted cloth-gray, amber,
chamois or antelope-that is covered
with an arabesque braiding in brown,
green, petunia and black, blue or
fawn color. Thick materials that
are not amenable to drapery, are cut
into symmetrical gored breadths,
with the seams very often concealed
by gimp. Draped founces, graduated
bands of velvet or watered ribbon also
trim these skirts.-[New York Jour

A MODEL MOTHER.

The Queen-Regent of Spain is
thoroughly admired by her subjects
as model mother. Her whole leisure
time from state affairs is devoted to
her children, and she cares for no
pleasure which keeps her from their
side. Rising at 30 in the morning,
her first step is to the children 5
rooms, and she regularly spends half
an hour at their bedside before re-
tiring TO rest at IL. For this reason
she never stays to the end Of the
performance at the opera or theatre,
but slips quietly away at certain
time.

cred skirt and great snowy Golf and
plated collar. But the men, alas
no longer wear the Dragon brass Of
the ancient Breton. The knee
breeches, embroidered vest and flow
ing locks Of the Chouans are things
Of the picturesque past, seen at rare
intervals upon some patriarch of the
old regime. Models at Pont Aven
are paid from one TO two francs n day,
but they are scarce and intractable.
A Breton girl, for instance, cannot
be persuaded TO divest herself Of her
ample and snowy Golf, and every
stray ringlet is hidden away as care
fully as II some public shame at
tached TO its exhibition. This is
mainly due to national prejudice, no
doubt, but also in part, ! fancy.
TO the fact that few Of them have pre-
served their natural tresses. 1t will
ease the minds OF many OF the pre-
maturely bald to know that most Of
the artificial hair Of the world is
clipped from the heads Of pretty Bre-
ton maidens who are in all the hey
day Of youth AMI health. At every
large fair there is to be found dealer
in artificial hair who offers the young
girls ten-franc piece in exchange
for their chevelure. As IL is no dis
fgurement TO them many accept the
tempting offer, and bunch Of linen
easily supplies the defciency."-

The pretty changeables come up
again among the favored fancies Of
the opening season.
Green in n vernal tone Of bright
ness, clover color and all the shades
of purple, violet and mauye are worn
One of the prettiest trimmings for
the new batistes and ginghams is
open work embroidery wrought on
the goods
Every garment that extends below
the waist line hangs in godets to the
lower edge, apparently increasing the
size of the figure.
At a recent court ball at Rome
Queen Margherita wore sixteen
strings Of pearls, the lowest hanging
halfway to the waist.
Capes and loose wraps are a neces-
sity not to be ignored while large
sleeves are in style, SO they are sure
to be worn more than jackets.
The regulation sailors hat has APP
peared with very high crown and
narrow rim, which gives it very
mannish effect, not becoming to
many faces.
Skirts are slightly stiffened in the
back by an interlining of stiff muslin
or grass cloth which comes for this
purpose. 1t IS more pliable than hair
cloth and not SO heavy.
A costume of brown cloth has an
eighteen-inch band of Russian sable
at the lower edge. Handsome, Of
course, but expensive and very heavy.
This, however, does not seem to
count.
Lace, ribbon and jet are prominent
features of trimming and yet black
watered silk for a combination is as
necessary as it was in the winter.
The bright colors Of spring goods
need toning down.
Rainbow gauze and spangles
sparkle IN the new evening gowns.
An oyster gray china crepe is radiant |
with an embroidery of silver spangles. |
These metallic ornaments appear on

Black watered silks with colored

finish.

SUGAR BRIBERY.
Secretary Carlisle Testifies
Before the Committee.
Says He Drew Up ScheduIe-Sus-
pected Senators Also Testify.


WASHINGTON, June 1.-The bribery I'm
ssstigAting connie tee having suggested
10 the secretary OF the treasury that il
would be proper for him TO come before
them, Mr.. Carlisle notified the committee
bhat he would come to the Capitol and
tell all he might happen TO know con-
cerning the subject under investigation.
Mr.. Mcpherson testified, as had the
other members OF the committee who pre-
osded him, that he had never heard Mr..
Carlisle make the suggestion that the
Sugar trust had made a large contribu-
tion to the oampsign fund, and that it
must, therefore. be taken care OF.
Mr.. Mcpherson also said that he knew
nothing Of any sugar schedule that the
secretary Of the treasury had submitted
60 the committee with the demand that
Il be incorporated as part of the bill.
Mr.. Mcpherson entered into long ex-
planation concerning a matter to which
he referred some weeks ago on the floor of
the senate--the purchase and sale by him
Of q certain amount of the stock of the
Sugar trust. He explained that this stock
was purchased by inadvertence, and as
soon as he knew it had been placed to his
credit he ordered the stock sold.
Mills Makes q Statement
Mr.. Mills appeared and denied that the
secretary of the treasury appeared before
the finance committee and stated that
che Sugar trust had made large contri-
buttons TO the campaign committee and
must be taken care of; and also that he
prepared a schedule giving high rates TO
this article, and demanded that it be
adopted.
Later Mr.. Carlisle himself appeared and
made a similar statement Mr.. Carlisle
told the COMMITTEES that he had drawn a
proposed schedule for the com mittee
while he was at one of the meetings OF
the Democratic members. but it was not
adopted. In doing this, he said, he acted
In an advisory capacity and gave the COM
mittee facts and data such as they asked
tor, and which, as secretary of the treas
ury, they would naturally expect to re-
ceive from him.
Today the committee will have before
IL John Dewitt Warner, member of the
house from New York.
1t has also issued a summons for Mr..
CASTOR, the Pennsylvania wire manufac-
turer, who is said TO have heard the con-
versation alleged to have taken place in a
room at the Arlington between Sugar
trust magnates and certain senator's re-
Rarding the duty that should be put upon
sugar.
