From PARIs.--My Paris correspondent
writes me OF the bright display OF summer
toilets now to be soen at all the Paris picture
exhibitions, flower shows, garden parties,
and on the Bots, notice that many OF the
most gracefully draped dresses are still the
plain, lamp-shade shaped skirts which are
sim generally adopted. also notice with
pleasure that even in Paris individuality is
beginning to assert itself, and that moro ati-
tude than formerly, and hence better oppor-
tunities for the display OF taste, are conceded
to be in accord with social harmony. For
very thin. transparent fabrics, dmperies are
more graceful and may be safely adopted, as
they will certainly continue to bo fashionable
all summer. For silks, fancy wOolens and
goods OF hrmer texture, the ab0tIour skirt Is
much more suitable. This skirt has been
greatly modified since its first introduction.
Quite clingng at the top, 1t gradually widens
and forms full goget pleats in the lower part,

NEVADA's MONSTER TREE.
The Largest In the World and In Pctri
fed State.

The Largest In the World and In Pctri-
fed State.
The largest tree in the world lies broken
and petrified at the end of a defile in north
western Nevada. Its dimensions are so
great that those who know of its existence
hesitate to tell the story because they
hardly expect to be believed, but there is
sufficient evidence to give the tale credit,
improbable though it may seem.
This tree makes the monarchs of the
Mariposa grove seem like impostors, and
compared to it "the tallest pine grown
on Norwegian hills to be the mast of some
great admiral is but wand" AS for the
story of its discovery, it is thus told by
Dad Lynn of Fresno and supported by
other equally well known people:
"Back in 1860 company of about As
left Red Bluff to prospect the then I'M
known country beyond Honey lake and
Surprise valley. There were in the party
lawyers, butchers and shoemakers, but
we were one sided on one point-each in
diyidual felt positive that this was the
turning point of his existence, and that
bright, shining gold in unlimited quanti-
ties would reward the rather unpleasant
jaunt.
1.-THE Indians-we called them Ban
nacks-were at that time raising hair, and
very many sudden moves were at times
necessary in order to get rid of their I'M
welcome attentions. Finding but little
gold in this section, we travelled toward
Baker county, Or, through a country en-
tirely denuded Of timber, except a few
dwarf cottonwoods along the waterways
Close to the Baker county line we came
to an opening in the rocks, about wide
enough for our wagons to go through, and
on either side doomed precipices 500 and
600 feet high. The crevasse was about 10
miles long, and at its end, just to the right
of the trail, we found a number of petri-
fed tree stumps of different heights and
sizes.
SIN their midst on the ground lay a
monster tree, somewhat imbedded in the
soil. 1t was completely petriiied, and from
the clean cut fractures of the trunk SEEM
ed to'have fallen after its petrifaction. At
it's butt this tree was quite go feet in di-
ameter. We measured its length with
tapeline. 1t was just G66 feet long. No
limbs remained, but in the trunk were
clefts where apparently limbs had broken
Off Amberlike beads of petrifed pitch
or gum adhered TO the sides of the trunk
for distance of 100 feet or more.
"Where the huge trunk was broken

ent and the growth marks showed in beau
tiful concentric rings. Its natural appear

Ola English Cookery.

Down to the sixteenth century the ex-
traordinary mixtures, both as to ingredi-
ents and seasOnings, which prevailed,
gave an indication of the tastes of the pc
riod. Thus blancmange, or, as it is gener-
ally spelled, blanc-manger, instead of
being merely jelly of milk or cream, was
formerly composed of the pounded flesh of
poultry, boiled with rice and milk of al
monds, and sweetened with sugar, while
a mixture of the same kind, but colored
with blood or sandal wood, was called
rose. Buckuade was the name of another
typical preparation, and this was made of
meat "hewn in gobbets," pounded al
monds, raisins, sugar, cinnamon, cloves,
ginger, onions, salt and fried herbs, thick
ened with rice -four and colored yellow
with saffron.
Mortrews, dish mentiond by Chaucer
in his Canterbury Tales" was held in
great esteem. 1t derived its name from
the mortar in which the meat used in max
ing it was pounded, and as the recipe is a
representative one we will here give it as
it stands in the "Forme of Curry"
Take hennes and pork and sethe HON
togydre. Take the Tyre C1esh)of the hennes
and of the porke and hack it small and

A Voice From the South.

Whatever may be our views on the ques-
tion of woman suffrage, we cannot blind
our eyes to the fact that it is growing con-
stantly and rapidly in popularity. An
amendment to Colorado's constitution
which gives women the full right of suf-
frage was adopted by 6,347 majority.
Wyoming was the first state to give wo.
men the right to vote at all state elections,
and Colorado is the second. We expect
to see this list grow very fast. In several
states and in large number of cities wo-
men can now vote at elections for school
trustees, and in some places for other mu-
nicipal officers. The number of women
who want the ballot is growing at great
rate. A pointer in this direction was Civ
en- by recent poll of tie girls at Welles-
ley college OF G22 students, 5O2 recorded
themselves as advocates of woman suf-
frage.
A few years ago it was almost impossi-
BILE to find an advocate of woman suffrage
in the south. Now they are numerous
among both men and women, though they
are still greatly in the minority. Never
theless we believe they are gaining in
numbers and in the boldness with which
they proclaim their opinions.-Atlanta
