The Mantle of Charity.

It is the one garment the fashion of winch never changes, writes Ruth Ash more i'll Ladies' Home Journal The years may go and come, and yet she who cloaks herself in this mantle is at once happy herself and the giver of happi- ness. In cut it never changes. It is al- ways large and full, so that it can en- velop those who arc unhappy and give them warmth and comfort. Like the cloak worn by the prince in the fairy tale, it is invisible to all but those whose eyes are made clear by faith. It is the garment that I would like my girls to wear. It is true that much patience and much self denial are required before this cloak is put on. as it should be. for all time, but once assumed the amount of joy to bo got from it and the happy heartbeats to the wearers of it cannot possibly be overestimated.

We'll, couple of Chinamen, attired in robes of silk and satin of the most gorgeous descrip- tion, came pushing along at the charac- teristic gait of their race. The superior appearance of the Celestials did not ap- pear to affect a number of small boys who were lettering on corner, for there was an immediate chorus of 'Chinamen eat rats as the men approached. The Chinamen took no notice of the juve- niles, who followed in their rear, contin- uing their shouting. Farther up the street a youth was standing on the side walk, and as the Chinamen passed him he. evidently inspired by the boys, ask ed them what shirts were being washed at He apparently thought the China. men didn't know n word of English.

WHILE the European maritime powers are discussing the advisability or inter yention in the intsr-Monsolian struggle now going on in the extreme orient, the Japanese keep right on fighting. taking advantage of every step and firmly holding there has not been an action in which well matched warships of modern make have been brought into conflict. and the great problem remains unsolved to the many naval officers who are eagerly watch ing the result of these marine combats. In the fierce fight at the mouth of the Yalu river on September 16, twenty-seven warshlps were engaged, and but two of these-ChInese-had any pretentions to be called battleships. From all that can be learned it would appear that the Japan -se. who are using their fighting ships to protect the debarkstion of troops and stores. won this battle not because of the superiority of their ships. for they were in every way inferior to those of their enemy, but by reason of their superior intelli- gence. discipline and valor.
 THE republican candidates for repre- seutatives have not even said '.boo" to the challyng- of the boys placed in nomination by the democrats.

Grasses and Bronues of th. Hindoos.

The brass and bronze trade is kept alive by the religious customs of the Hindoos. who are not allowed to usc wooden and earthonware vessels freely, and brass and bronze arc to them as i'm portant as glass and china to the west erners. Almost all Hindoo utensils arc of brass. copper or bronze, and 1t is the custom to present the female portion of Hindoo family with a valuable bat terie de cuisine. made either of brass or copper, and still existing Hindoo cer- emony is that of carrying the utensils in a procession at the wedding. The result of this custom is that almost all the platters. trays, bowls, nut crackers and all brass and copper utensils are most beautifully ornamented. and there arc lovely combinations of brass and copper and silver and copper. All Hindoo wo- men used to have lovely brass caskets covered with ornamentations called chel- lams, manufactured in Malabar, in which they kept their jewels. but these are fast being replaced by the vulgar English japanned dispatch box. At Siv- aganga beautiful but seldom. patron ixed brass trade exists, which makes toys and most lifelike representations of animals, lizards. frogs. stc.-Chica- go Tribune.

Girl Rabies of Sicily.

In some parts of Sicily the birth of a girl is looked upon as such misfor- tune that black flag is hung out the window to proclaim the sad event. Hav- ing to be supported by the family as long as they are unmarried, and being obliged to dover the bridegroom, they are looked upon as expensive luxuries. Boys, on the other hand, are very soon self supporting, and when the time comes for marrying increase the family wealth by bringing home a bride and her dot The girls live in seclusion, are most kindly treated. and at the age of II or Is they are disposed of in marriage on a purely financial basis.-New York World

 NEW YORK. Oct. 30.-The word chic is generally used incorrectly by Americans French people insist it is untranslatable, and that Webster Is all wrong when he defines it as good form" and style" What chic really means Is neither style, form nor fashion So called, hut originali- ty, combined with correct taste and ab- sencc of affectation. Nor is the word con fined to dress or appearance. Rarc and exceptional gallanTry in war may be de- scribed us chic. And there are a vast number of other applications
 One of the best living illustrations of the word chic Is Rcjane, the Parisian ac- tress of the COmedie Franchise. She Is chic to the tips of her fingers, in thought, speech, drcss, manner, conduct and ap- pearancc. She is chic because she Is so original, so unaffected and yet so taste fuL Those who initiate her arc not chic because they are not original In order to possess chic ono must have a well defined character of ones own, with qualities aye, and defects as wcll-that arc peculiar ly ones own There is practically no salon in America where people meet solely to talk. In New York it is very rarc that an evening entertainment is given solely for conversation, with only some light rCfr,shIncnt in lieu of a sup per. And yet such rcunions arc very en- jOyablc, and people become better ac- Quaintcd where they can comfortably converse than at n dance, where they are constantly interrupted Still people hcsi- tate to ask their friends to their houses without some specific object It must be either for some music,'' a card party or some kind of a dance.
