s'Do you know the nature of an oath?''
asked Police Justice Potts of II-year-old
Ida Meisner in the Gregory Street police
court, Jersey City, yesterday morning.
The child was a complainant against
Thomas Donnelly.

do you know where children go who
tell hes?''
mo, sir. .
''Did you ever hear Of heaven?''
mo, sir, but I heard of hell. Z"
The judge had been getting discour-
aged, but the last answer inspired him
to ask another.
'sWell, tell me now, - he said, with an
encouraging smile, ''who go to hell?''
'Protestants, answered the child
promptly.
Justice Potts decided to omit the for
mality of administering an oath to the
witness. New York Sun.

Taxgaan4r4Ag ia Niarocco.

The taxgatherer's chief instrument
in the east is the bastinadO, d thick
bamboo stick laid across the naked soles
OF the feet, the Taxpayer being firmly
strapped to the gyound, face downward,
and kept there ulssil he has not only
yielded up al his income, hit all his
principal likewise. As MarCccO owes
Spain 8, 900, 600 pesetas and has begun
to pay them off, 1t is likely that the
whack Of the bastinado and the yelp of
the victim will now be heard in the
land from the headlands Of Mequinez TO
the ranges Of the Atlas mountains and
throughout the provinces Of Figig and
Twat and Tidixelt and beyond, on des-
ert spaces, seen by the low necl1ed camel
on the verge as far as the dOmlnlons Of
the new sultan extend
It is not an enlightened mode Of col
Iecting revenue, but is the principal one
which exists in those curious countries
and among those curious peoples, and
if the grand vizier We're appealed to in
the case he would probably say that the
villagers thus entreated were dogs and
the sons Of dogs, and that they could
not be persuaded to give up their money
in any other way. The custom is of
great antiquity and seems more popular
among those who apply It than among
those to whom it Is applied, but it Is q
necessary recourse in case Of any deficit
in the revenues. New York Tribune.

Says the Chicago Daily Record: What
makes George NJ. Pullman SO tired?
Thomas F. Wickes is doing Pullman's
work in Chicago What, then. IS it
that makes the old man tired2 Certainly
not his labors at his country home IN the
lake region Of northern New York: his
son-in-law did his work for him there
IN short. Mr.. Pullman has done no actual
work in the last month. It may have
tired him to breathe, TO eat three meals
day and to sleep ten hours every night
Or may be the secret Of this tired feeling
of which he complains is that Mr.. Pull
man has had a very busy and a very IN
pleasant month with his conscience.

is SO wearisome as an able bodied Ne

ROYAL washing.

The empress of Germany complains
that her palace boasts of no laundry,
and that she has to send all of her wash
ing, even the children's clothes, to Ber-
lin to be done up. The royal family Of
England are in better domestic trim.
They have laundry of their own on
the outskirts of London, in the vicinity
of Hounslow, and whether sojourning
at Balmoral, Osborne on elsewhere the
royal linen is conveyed to the royal
laundry. The work is said to be abso-
lutely perfect, but not long ago the en-
ployees complained Of being underpaid
and struck. At the Vatican the pope's
linen and clothing are looked after by an
order Of sisters bearing the curiously
appropriate name Ladies Of Repara-
ton. - 1t is said they are of noble birth

fifty makes no such mistakes When
one is off on snch an excursion, one can
not take along q lot of things, and so it
is we'll to have two gowns only-one for
day and the other to put on for dinner
or evening. Some take but one, but it
feels so much better to change after a
dusty Jaunt and put on a fresh dress
and hang the other up. OF all materials
for this purpose there is nothing as sat
isfactory as black surah. saw one Of
that material made very plainly, with
no trimming but narrow MORE ribbon
carried down each seam. The French
waist was belted in with MORE ribbon.
The gigot sleeves were of MORE, and
there was a pelelIns cape Of surah lined
with MORE and with MORE collar to
slip on If the evenings were cool.
Another gown for such needs was
also Of black surah, with picOt edge
velvet ribbon down the back and front,
ending in bows. There was a deep col
let Of black velvet edged with picot
trimming IN pale blue. 1t was a hand
some gown. For nice Sunday outing
gown for a young lady one was made of
gray and green shepherds plaid trim
med with dark green ribbon. The sleeves
and waist were trimmed by elaborate
shirrings of the same, but in the front
of the neck was a small square of Per-
sian embroidery. Words cannot picture
the enormous plaid surah parasol, with
its deep accordion plated ruffie OF ir-
descent silk muslin, as written ones
are not loud enough. These enormous
parasols are quite often seen now, though
seldom in plaid
OF all the things IN full vogue this
season there IS nothing prettier and Ger
tainly nothing more useful and con-
venient than the SHIRT waists. They are
Of cotton, percale, sateen and silk. They
are much moro dressy than such gar
ments have ever been made, and for the
first time a lady may look well dressed
in one
A very dressy and unusually pretty
waist was made of chestnut brown dot
ted tafetas, with a golden CLINT IN it,
fighting for mastery over the black
shadow. Tafetas is a crisp silk, and
the most is made of this quality IN the
design 1t is gathered very full at the

New York, July 12.-Of outing
gowns there is no end, nor is there any
limit set as to material or style, as some
are for ocean, some for railroad and some
for hard mountain climbing. Some are
to be worn in camps, some ON boats and
some for picnics and seasonable dissipa-
tons, including golf. tennis and heart
breaking The steamer gowns are to be
of serge, flannel or cloth; the mountain
dresses Of cheviot, tweed or cheviot-
serge, for they need to be strong. How
they are made depends on individual
taste. Some are quite short, to be worn
with stout leggings, and others are or
binary walking length Belts and chat
elaine bags and straps with field glasses
and crooked staff and little tin cup all
belong with the mountain suit, and SO
does a natty jacket.

rough work and dress for it as they
would for a promenade down Broadway,
