This Is the time when rich people put
their purses in their pockets and saiiy
forth to purchase their new spring gowns
and wraps-that is, provided they nave
not bought them already.
j. is pathetic TO witness the attempts
OF those who are not rich to do the same
thing The very poor must be contens
with one unadorned gown, ara be glad
TO get that But those who may be de-
signated rs the middle class ere the ones
who make the greatest Struggle to make
economy and good appearance compat-
ible. Possibly this struggle may give rise
10 some of the divorce suits which come
upon the ground of Observation-Disclosures
husband representing the economical side
Of the question, Of course, let me hasten
to add, before this meets the masculine
gaze.
But to return to the gown question. The
weather IS too warm to admit of winter
wraps but our present gowns are not
quite the right thing to wear without
some sort Of wrap, or something that
resembles one at least. This is one reason
why pclerines and sleeve capelets re-
main in style. they serve as a KIND OF
finish to the gown, and make 1t more
suitable for the street.
Those dresses with the long coats and
vests or chemisettes underneath, answer
this purpose very nicely. Any trimming
which gives that jacket effect Is desirable.
The one in the picture Is made or cloth.
The skirt Is quite plain. The waist Is
made TO simulate a short shoulder cape
with jet-trimmed velvet yoke. pelerine
of cloth goes around the shoulders. cape
fashion. and is edged with fringe The
hn ttThn n "a
effect IS that OF an outside wrap of some
kind. On the whole. this is very good
alI-around suit for young woman whose
purse is not long enough for dress and
wrap both. for it combines the two in
one at a very reasonable figure.

is IT TRUE

The Washington Post presents us with
narrative which Is interesting, TO say
the least, II 1t can be relied on. Ii says
that the Minister from Guatemala TO
England. acting under Instructions from
his Government, has notified the English
Government that on account of the great
depreciation In silver. in which Guate-
mala collects her revenues, she is unable
to continue payment OF interest on her
bonds held In Great Britain, which. being
payable In gold. requires from her pay
ment of two dollars wherever she coll
'iects one for interest. and that she win
therefore default in her interest at July
LIST. The narrative goes on TO say that
the reason put forward for this course is
not the real one; that Guatemala has
taken steps for getting all the other
South American republics to join her in
the same action. and expects Mexico also
TO do the same. whereupon II is hoped
and expected that the whole OF South and
Central America will present TO Eng
land united demand that she treat sill
yer as upon footing of equality with
gold. 1t also says that an association OF
Guatemalan bondholders In London, which
we suspect 70 be Virginias old friend. the
Council Of Foreign Bondholders, has pre-
sented TO the Government a formal re-
quest that England shall send a man-of-
war to Guatemala and compel her to pay
her interest according TO the contract.
The Post is not considerable enough TO
supply us with the source of its Informa-
tion. but as 1t dweiis under the caves. so
to speak OF the diplomatic representatives
OF the world TO this Government, It would
probably have US suppose that its in

New York Sun: Lord Rosebery's Gov
eminent seems determined to carry out
the provisional scheme of Home Rule for
Scotland which Mr. Gladstone devised.
One feature of this scheme was the crea-
ton Of a new ONCE. that OF Secretary
for Scotland, which Sir George Trevelyan
now holds. The second feature was TO be
the relegation of all bills affecting ex-
cusively Scottish interests to a standing
committee mainly composed OF the Scotch
members of the House Of Commons. On
Monday of this week Sir George Ire
velyan proposed the formation Of such
a committee, which, in addition 10 the
seventy-two Scoth members, should
include fifteen others, made up appar-
emily Of ministers and Of the leading mem
bers of the opposition. Sir George did
not ask the House 10 define in advance
what measures should go TO this commit
tee. but simply that the committee should
be authorized to report upon such Scotch
bills as should be specially sent to it.

organization of the line of the Navy
which Rear Admiral Walker has drawn
up is an interesting contribution to the

DR.. Moor was not inclined to listen
to the fears Of his fellow -practi-
tiouers. They, on the other hand,
desired to wash their hands OF any
responsibility. and passed a resolu-
tion to that effect, and refused to
allow the chemist of the society to
measure ont the poison. Some OF
the gentlemen went so Tar as to per
soually implore DIR. Moor not to
persist in his rash experiment, but
he assured them that he had the
utmost confidence that there was no
danger.
He measured himself out three
grains of morphine, three times as
much a. il necessary to produce
death. The deadly drug was put in a
spoonful uf water and then swallow

Two oi the spectators, unable to bear

dotc r,ady. His theory is that for
each grain Of morphine a grain ol
the p"rmaugauate of potash is re-
quired to be- taken. To make assur
ance doubly sure, however, the dar
ing experimentalst partook Of foul
grains. About thirty seconds elapsed
between the two doses. The physi
clans regarded DIR. Moor with in
tense interest. He remained calu
and cheerful. As time went on, tn,
deadly languur that usually follow
the taking ot morphine did no

as to the relief Of all, il was recog
nized that DR.. Moor hal discovered
an absolute antidute. The matter !
