may allow, but when there is a wedding
the bride gets so much Of the attention
that the bridesmaids are left out. Yet
there is much to say about bridesmaids
gowns. In the first place, we want to
know if it is to be church or home
wedding or morning or evening cere-
mony-a formal or informal one. If it
is to be grand church ceremony, the
bridesmaids may be as many as one
likes, and they should be dressed SO that
each shall enhance her own loveliness
as well as that of the others and the
bride. To do this each should be dressed
in different color. One should wear
pale blue, one pink, one maize and SO
on, but none should wear white save the
bride When two of the bridesmaids are
brunettes, they should not quarrel as to
which shall wear pink. Maize is equally
becoming, and the blonds must decide
amiably between them which is to wear
blue and which green.
These gowns are generally intended to
wear but once and are made walking
length and of not very expensive ma
terial Yelling and crepon are suitable
and very pretty when trimmed with lace
and ribbon. The 1880 styles are very
well adapted for this kind Of dress
Hats with lace feathers and flowers to
match the color Of the gowns are worn,
and they are intended to look as pictur-
esque as possible. Dainty little hand
kerchief bags of silk or Grape to match
the color in the dress, bordered with
lace and tied with ribbons, are worn with
these costumes The bag hangs over the
right arm. The bridesmaids, no matter
how many, wear pretty pins or lockets,
the gifts of the groom. These are sim
pie or valuable according to circum-
stances 1t is quite permissible for the
hi5s TO prsselt her bridesmaids with
their gowns for the occasion, but not
obligatory. All dresses to be worn in
church are madeSligh in the neck.
When grand wedding takes place at
the brides home, the bride may nave her
corsage cut pompadour or V shaped in
front, though it is considered rather
more suitable to have the dress cut high,
but the bridesmaids can have their
frocks cut low if they all agree. The
dresses for them should be all made
alike or differing but very slightly.
For grand home weddings the brides
maids can wear silk or satin, but the
most refined taste would suggest simpler
materials. A very pretty general style
to follow would be to have plain skirts,
with two or three narrow chiffon T.11f-
fies, the sleeves to come to the elbow in
two or three putfs Of chiffon matching
the color Of the dress and tied with rib
bon. The corsages could be draped with
chiffon and ribbons.
The poor bridegroom has no show at
all to distinguish himself. He is what
the French call "the turkey in the

II think the eye power Of the present
generation of civilized men must have
deteriorated good deal, said an ocu-
list to me the other day II am called
upon to examine so many young persons
nowadays whose. eyes show no symp-
toms Of disease or strabismus, but are
simply unable to do the ordinary amount
of work required of schoolboys, school
girls, college students or moderate read
ers without showing symptoms Of over
work
''This weakness seems to be constitu-
tional, and glasses are required which
lessen the muscular strain on the eyes
only. In spite of the invention of the
typewriter, which has relieved the eye
of so much work, the state of things is
almost equally as prevalent in business
circles as among students. New York

The probability that vehicles driven
by steam would be the future means Of
transportation ON land was very well
foreseen 20 years before the last century
closed by Oliver Evans of Philadelphia,
the inventor of the high pressure steam
engine. AS early as 1885 he petitimed
the legislature Of Pennsylvania for the
exclusive right to use his inventions for
road wagons to be propelled by steam
The word locomotive had not then come
into use. This privilege was denied, but
the Maryland Legislature granted the
right for IA years. There appeared at
one time good prospects Of Evans obtain
ing the necessary financial support to
apply his steam engine to the propulsion
of boats and road wagons, but some
cautious capitalist of that day deter
mined to have B. H. Latrobe, an accom-
plished architect and engineer, report
upon the schemes that Evans was advo-
eating Latrobe reported strongly
against the steam engine, saying that
the inventor was visionary. This re-
port ruined Evans career and deprived
America of the benefits of the steam en-
gine in transportation for two genera
tions longer.
By a curious irony Of fate the son Of
this same Latrobe performed important
engineering services in building the Bal
timore and Ohio, the first railroad in
this country where a steam engine was
used successfully. Locomotive Engi-

A one legged street beggar who, rain
or shine, sits every day with outstretched
hand on the steps of a warehouse in a
down town cross street is quite aphilos-
opher in his way. He says that, SO far
as his experience goes, little can be
judged regarding the benevolence of men
or women by their appearance. Some
times, he says, he will see a man ap-
preaching who seems to be the personi-
fication Of charity allied with opulence.
The beggar stretches forth his hand with
confidence, but withdraws itwith disap-
pointment. Then there hurries by Me-
phistophelian looking creature, seedy
perhaps, with cynical smile on his face,
who drops quarter into the beseeching
palm. Among women, the beggar asserts,
the best dressed are seldom the most
charitable. There are exceptions to the
rule, of course, but the prevalent theory
that a street beggar can ''size up" a Pc
destrian by his appearance is erroneous

IL 1t the Reincarnation OF the Old MUsS~
clan Who Didn't Come Back2
''Hants? Why Of course | believe In
them, said Wes Hearn to a group Of
congenial Bohemians crowded around
the lunch counter about midnight.
There's hant now," and he pointed
to big black cat which stealthily made
its way in the door and under table, out
Of the shadow Of which his eyes glcwed
red and green "That cats hant and a
mascot all in one
Zone stormy night about four years
ago he came in here, and he's never been
away since. There used to be an old
musician who visited US every night
steady for years. He used to come in
hollow eyed and haggard. He never said
word, but laid down his money, got
his bracer-Old Tom gin-always the
same, and went on his way. The time
the cat came in the night man noticed
that the old musician hadn It appeared. 1t
was stormy night, too, just about this
time. The wind howled and moaned,
and the lightning flashed in red ribbons,
while the thunder cracked like the guns
Of battle and reverberated in boom
that made all the dishes in the house
rattle. 1t was bad night, Too dismal
by far for people to be out in. Every
body was sitting around the stove talk
ing. Just as the clock was striking -,
Mr.. Frazee expressed wonder that the
old man, meaning the musician, hadn't
come in. At that moment the big black
cat came in and took his place by the
stove and never uttered meow, and he's
never been away since, and, more than
that he never sleeps. If that cat should
go to sleep, believe the house would
fall down. Once in awhile he gets a lit
tie bit sick, and then everything goes
wrong.
''But the strange part Of the story is
that the old musician never came back.
Two days later he was pulled out of the
river dead. He must have jumped in the
same night that cat came. / believe the
spirit Of that old man is in that cat.
What makes me believe SO is that as
soon as a band passes that door playing
that cat makes for the river as fast as he
can tear. He goes away the moment any
music is heard, and he doesn't tarry
when he starts. What he goes to the
river for don't know. Perhaps it was
music that drove the old man crazy.
I've heard some music that would drive
anybody so. Florida Times Union.

There are some people who imagine
that wealth entities them to privileges
not accorded to the general public and
exempts them from obligations andrules
that others are disposed to obey. An Incl
dent which occurred ON one Of our ocean
steamers conveys a wholesome lesson to
the purse proud contemners of the rights
of the majority. A family of unlimited
wealth had secured the best accommo-
dation the steamer afforded.
The gentleman and his wife kept them
selves secluded most Of the time, but the
children were allowed to run wild over
the steamer until they became such in
tolerable nuisances that the captain was
spoken to, and he gave the youngsters a
severe reprimand. This reused the in
dignation Of the mother, who remarked
to the captain that as she paid first class
fare she thought she was entitled to
first class privileges.
Madam" J" said the captain, first class
fare means first class conduct" There
was no further rotest.-London Tit
