Anthony and Cleopatra.

am dying, Egypt, dying!
Ebhs the crimson lite-tide fast,
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arm. o Queen, support me,
Hush thy sObs and bow thine ear,
Harken to the great heart secrets
Thou, and thou alone must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran legions
Bear their eagles high no more,
And my wrecked and scattered galleys,
Strew dark Actium fatal shOres
Though no glittering guard surround me.
Prompt to do their masters will,
must perish like Roman,
Die the great Triunvir still.
Let not Cesars servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foeman's band that slew him,
Twas his own that struck the blow.
Hear. then, pillowed on thy bosom,
Ere his star shall fade away.
Him who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madly flung Al world away. %
Should the base plebian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia.
Weeps within her widowed hOme,
Seek her; say the gods have told me,
Affairs, augurs. circling wings.
That her blood, with mine oOmmingled,
Yet shall mount to throne of kings.
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian
Glorious sorceress of the Nile.
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With the spleudor of thy smile.
Give the Caesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel twine;
] can scorn the seuatc's triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.
] am dying, Egypt, dying
Hark the insulting foeman's cry,
They are coming-quick, my falchion!
Let me front them ere die.
All no more amid the battle
Shall my heart exulting swell,
Isis and Osiris guard thee,
Cleopatra Rome farewell.

Bits of Fashion.

Turned down white linen collars are
very fashionable for young ladies, partic-
ularly if they have clear enough COM
plexions to admit of the severe plain
ness.
Hats for little girls have very low
crowns. Some of them have the brims
rolled up about three or four braids
wide; others are turned down about the
same distance. One of the latter is ex-
wreath of daisies. with the stems
braided to form band and bOX-plaited
ruf1le of chiffon.
Changeable summer serge is fabric
used for useful frock. 1t has full
straight skirt, and the full baby waist is
kept In shape by fitted lining; the
skirt is sewed to the waist, which fast
ems III the back. A modish. up-to-date
touch is given by the full bertha, which
is finished on the edge with a simple
passementerie matching the serge in
colors.
mer wear is made of fancy straw in
tones of burned creme, old gold. amber
and tan color. These sIrawS are CON-
posed of several rows of tiny rows OF
spikes that overlap each other. and give
rich and encrusted appearance The
toque is trimmed with velvet cushion
on the bias. and mounted in all irregu-
lar manner, thus forming twist which
is placed between the crown and the
narrow turned-up brhm.
Tamboured organdies and beautiful
dotted and lowered Swiss musiins are
heaped in prOfusion upon the counters.
Less of the snoW-whit3 patterns are
shown than those in soft maise color
seagreen, sweet-pea pink, reseda.
Dresden blue and rose and violet in
various exquisite tints. In making up
these textiles the majority show an
airy overdreSs, loose from its gored

ture cheviOt is so simple in lines, in
make and in trimming, that it is SO
commended as standard pattern for
girls gowns. The skirt is of full straight
breadths, and may be lined or simply
hemmed. 1t is Sewed to the close-6tting
underwaist; but it is a good plan to
mount it on belt so it can be worn with
blouse also. The little jacket is form
of the Elton. and will look as well over
blouse as with close waist. The way
of making suit is suited to all wooden
or cotton fabrics.

washington special.
Secretary Langley, of the Smithson-
ian institute, is very busy these days
perfecting his apparatus for "aerial
navigation" as he calls it, his flying
machine, and will soon be ready to
make some practical experiments, as he
did last summer. He has the assist
ance of some very able and skiilful
men, including Prof. Bell. the tele-
phone inventor, who takes interests in
the subject and has made many im=
portant suggestions. Prof. Langley
believes that the time will come when
people can get into their flying ma
chimes and go from place to place just
as they now go in their carriages, and
the further he carries his experiments
the more thoroughly convinced he Is of
the correctness of his theory. During
the last few months he has made some
very important and interesting discay-l
cries concerning the currents of the air,
which will have marked influence
upon his aerial navigation experiments:
