After Deserted Newspapers.

There are some queer characters to
be seen about the reading rooms of
the hotels. Among these are the old
gentlemen who pick up the deserted
newspapers on the tables or in the
chairs. From morning till about
luncheon hour guests and others
dawdle over their morning papers.
When they finish them they usually
leave them on the tables, the floor,
or in the chair they last occupied.
The paper doesn't remain there long.
One of the old gentlemen who do not
appear to have anything particularly
to do, and are on short allowance Of
spending money, comes along and
casually picks up the paper and sits
down to read. He sits for about two
minutes-just long enough to take
the edge off of suspicion-then calm
ly folds the paper and puts 1T In his
pocket. II there are any other papers
around he sides up to them and re-
peats the operation. In the evening
the same racket is worked as to the
evening papers Lay your paper down
for a moment some day In the read
ing room and see how 1t works. =

JUDGE COLT, of Boston, sitting ia
the United State, Court, has handed
down decision that Japanese, being
of the Monaghan race, come within
the provisions of the law passed to
prevent the naturalization of Chi
nese residents of the United States.
This decision is both cruel and I'M
just and clearly misinterpretatiOn
of the intent of the law in question.
The japanese race is greatly superior
to the Chinese, and the Objectionable
qualitie, of the latter are entirely
absent in the former people. The
United States among all its adopted
citizens has no better ones than the
bright, thrifty, clearly and industri-
Gus little people from the land of the
Mikado. The legislators who passed
that law debarring the Chinese from
the privileges OF American citizen
ship did not intend its application to
be extended to the Japanese, who are
really desirable immigrants. Judge
Colts decision should be overruled by
the Supreme Court, and il it is not it
should be made ineffective by an act
Of Congress specifically exempting the
japanese from the operations of the
law upon which it Is based.

the dainty chin. Considerable stiffen-
ing is employed in the skirt, which Is
without trimming of any sort Red
satin ribbon to match the dress stuff is
used for the belt, and its ends reach
nearly to the bottom of the skirt.
AS the trimming is placed at neck and
shoulders, 1t Is fitting that the costume
should be topped by a SNOWY headgear,
so above them is a hat OF iblack lace
straw, its brim bent picturesquely, and
set of at the back by a bunch of bright
red poppies and in front ornamented
by noduing red ostrich plumes. Black
plumes may be substituted, If pre-
ferred, but whatever the color each
plume must wave in its own place and
seem independent. They may unite
for 70 rth or less of their length
from the base Of the quill, but no fur
ther. From that point each must
strictly mind its own busine ~.
OF the summers color combinations,
blue and white has great vogue, and
robins egg blue makes a very stylish
choice. The simple gown of the next
picture is of satin striped gingham
displaying these shades, white being
the color OF the satin stripes. Its only
novelty is the cut OF its bodice, the
skirt being entirely plain and the
sleeves conventional. A rufe of the
gingham forms point in the back,
comes across the shoulders in epau-
lettes and outlines the pointed pas-
tron. Here they cross and continue to
the under arm seam at the waist line,
when they are fastened with white
satin bows with the usual long ends.
Not less handsome are the cham
brays with which the stores are now
supplied at surprisingly low prices. 1t
may not be correct to style such simple
textures as rich, but the temptation is
great when they show the exact colors
upon which fashion has set her approval

cisely and following all the lovely blends.
So. too, is the opportunity for women
who. like Jenny Wren, m Ike the fash
ionable exquisites' "try on" With care
in the use of these stuffs. gowns from
them may be accorded all the elegant
touches which characterize costumes
which cost ten times as much. Truly,

Gold in Ancient ireland.

All authorities agree in stating
that the ancient Inhabitants of Ire
land must have been very familiar
with gold and well accustomed to its
use. Native gold occurs in geologi-
cal deposits in many parts Of Ire
land. Until lately the gold mines of
Wicklow were the most productive OF
the British Isles, and besides this
there are six other known gold-pro-
ducing localities-Antrim, Derry,
Tyrone, Kildare, Dublin and Wex-
ford. 1t Is probable, however, that
many of the earlier auriferous depos-
its have been worked out or are un-
known. 1t is fact that no country
in Europe possesses so much manu-
featured gold belonging to early ages
as Ireland. In the museum of the
Royal Irish Academy alone there are
nearly 400 specimens of Irish gold
antiques. The gold antiquities in
the British Museum illustrative of
British history are, without excep-
tion, Irish. The museum of Trinity
College, Dublin, contains many fine
examples, and there are several pri-
vate collections. But thsre is no
doubt that much greater quantities
of gold ornaments than are now
known as existing have been lost
forever.

sensibIe American Horses.

The day will undoubtedly come
when the American trotter will be
priced and valued in this country
for his astonishing qualities, among
which soundness of limb and feet, as
well as docility. is not one of the
least; and, while on the point Of
docility, it is important to state that
the American horse is probably one
of the most docile animals Of the
world, and / can attribute this to
nothing else than the habitual kind
ness and intelligence with which the
American treats this animal. The
breeder has been largely assisted in
this by the negro.
Throughout the whole of the South
where the negro prevails he has been
associated with the charge of breed
ing-studs, and his affection for the
horse has developed kind of reci-
procity between himself and this
animal which has had a large in
fiuence Oh the progeny. Any one
who has had to do with American
trotters appreciates this virtue Of
docility. An American horse will
follow you like dog; he is not
timid, and he is always reasonable.
II we could only introduce some of
these characteristics into our English
horses it would add more to the
pleasure OF horse keeping and horse
breeding than any other element I
know.-Duke of Marlborough, In Live
Stock Journal Almanac.

ISN'T it about time that the case

afoat, the man who often has the
honor Of the country in his keeping,
should have word in its favor? II
there were more than twelve hun

as If there must be something radi-
cally wrong with the service? When
you examine the present naval sys-
tenn and find that it does not allow
enlisted men an opportunity for pro-
motion, doesn't it at once strike you
as un-American, degrading, and ILL

skirt has pointed panels of the pink
silk garnished with jet ornaments at
either side of the front. The latter,
as we'll as the eide back breadths, is
bordered with cascade drapery OF the
satin, edged with jet, and the back
consists of fan gores. The fitted bodice
has point back and front, and is bor-
dered with jet. Its deep square yoke
IL made of finely pleated satin finished
by twisted folds OF black satin ribbon
having bows on each shoulder. Below
the yoke there is garniture OF cream
guipure, and the cuffs of the satin
sleeves are similarly trimmed, while
the standing collar is made of black
satin and Ornamented with big black
bow behind. The tendency to have
the hat in accord with the gown and
to havo all accessories entirely con-
sistent is very marked. This makes
the economical woman task all the
harder, but also makes of her toilet

hat of the toilet just described obeys
this rule, being composed OF anemones
and trimmed with saffron loops, held
in place by paste buckles and backed

times worn and crossed over the

Ladies had no bonnets; they muffied

that We cannot hope to revive Greek
dress. The dress was designed for a
warm climate, and for a beautiful,
shapely race. -It-had its advantages
in the matter of health, as there was
no tight lacing after the Mycenaan
age. The style was not extravaganza

A JUDICIAL decision in regard ia
understanding has placed the rail-
road companies where they will be
compelled to show whether or not
they have been sincere in their i'm
precautions against the ticket-scalp-
ers. The Supreme Court Of Illinois
has declared valid the law of 1875,
which provides that all authorized
agents of common carriers shall be
furnished with certificates giving
them authority to sell tickets, and
which prohibits, under penalty of
fine or Imprisonment, the sale Of
railroad tickets by persons who are
not authorized. All that the rail-
roads will now have to do In order to
remove the evil OF understanding is
to appoint agents at a central office
in Chicago, or occupying separate Of
fees in the different parts Of the city,
for the convenience OF travellers and
to prosecute all vendors of tickets
that do not bear the signatures of
these agents. 1t has been limited
that some railroad companies have
been in collision with the scalpers.

take steps to put stop to the scalp
ing evil under the law, the public
