CALCUTTA, April ga dispatch from

of the diary of DIR. Robertson, the British
political agent at Chitral, who was besieged
i'm the fort there and who was relieved on
Saturday last By the flying column com
manded by Colonel Kelly, which reached
Chitral from Gilgat after accomplishing a
brilliant military achievement in passing
over the snow-covered Shandar pass. some
1900 to 1900 feet above the level of the
sea, has been received there, and gives an
account of the siege. He says that on
March 3 the British garrison made a recon-
noisance in force and lost % officers and
men killed and had 81 wounded. The siege
proper began on March 4. On the sth the
enemy tried to set fire to the water tower.
ana on the lash the besiegers attacked the
east side fortress but were repulsed.
The tribesmen on April 5 occupied a sum-
mer house about fifty yards from the tower,
and on the 6th they advanced a sanger or
stone breastwork to within forty yards of
the main gate of the fort. On April Z the
enemy attacked and fired the tower. While
the garrison was fighting the flames DIR.
Robertson was wounded and several Of the
British force We're Killed or wounded. The
enemy on April s attempted to set fire TO the
citadel, and on the 18th the fort was at

on April 10 the siege was raised. The Brit

as loose upon me as an old blouse waist.
Why, just look here and with a deft
little wrisgle and some sort of muscular

move her artificial bones about so that they
really have the semblance of fitting with
perfect freedom. But then this devotee to

that you are still in doubt as to the thor
oughness of her hygienic corseting.
Did you ever know a woman who adj
mitted she laced? Never. They all declare
that you could slip a dictionary between
their stays and their body. Nevertheless,
doctors who nave made a study of FEM
mime diseases agree that when investi-
every reason imaginable but the right one

tice OF tight iacing.
of big sleeves is that they do away with
part of the evil of corset wearing b
broadening the shoulders SO that the waist,
Bile breathing space, looks graceful by con-
trast. To a certain extent this is true. and
a few sensible beings seize upon this FASH
ion as a relief from corset torture, but the
foolish ones of ~womankind lace on, ig-
norantly cramping their figures until what
ever symmetry and delicacy of outline ma
ture has given them is completely squeezed
There IS nothing sylph-like in lines that
are bound in with the harsh exactitude of
a coat-of-mail. Rightly worn the corset
is perhaps a decided aid to feminine COM
fort and eomeilness of figure, but since the
hygienically wise woman is o~utnumbered
many times by her sisters who are either
ignorant or needless of baneful growing
modes, the corset is mighty apt to play a
very disastrous part in costumfng methods.

Usefulness. of Card Games.

New 4Ork l1IleS.
81 am impressed" said a woman recently,
with the fact that a taste for and facility
atv card playing. cultivated early in life,
is a valuable possession and resource
against the monotony of age. My father
and mother, after busy lives, the one at
his office, the other looking after a large
family, never found leisure or inclination
to become interested in any games of
cards. Now, in an empty house from
which every son and daughter has gone,
except for temporary visits from time to
time, at the old homestead. they pass their
days in peaceful but often lonely and
monotonous quiet. Reading pals after
awhile, and / have wished again and again
that they had the resource OF cards. / have
tried to interest them in cribbage, bezique
or casino, but find they have no liking for
any games, having passed the responsive
years. One enjoys cards as one is skillful
at the games played with them. If | had
children / should see that they learned to
play cards, and in particular became
adopts in several varieties of solitaire,
than which nothing, to my mind, is more
restful or diverting.

New York Sum-.
The overelaborate lamp shade has had its
day. Fashion now DEGREES a shade simple
to severity, whose contracted dimensions
are in quaint contrast to the widespread
founces and furbelows of it's predecessors.
The new shades are of paper or silk plainly
drawn over a smooth surface, and are hand
painted. They are finished at the top and
bottom with a prim quilting of narrow satin
ribbon, and look precise and Quakeriied to
flower wreaths which have clustered about
lamps for the last few seasons.
Many are made to button up at one side,
SO that they may be taken off and either
rolled up or laid out smoothly when it is
desired to pack them Some of these shades
are etched out in black and white, ana have
old prints of French gentlemen apd ladies
as their only decoration. The most gor-
geous are outlined in silver, as well as hand
painted, but a demure obtrusiveness char
acterizes them all.
1t is customary now for house fnrnishers
to order a lamp shade made of the same
material as the wall drapery, curtains, up
holstery or other appointments of the room
in which the lamp is to be used, but the
material is drawn down in rigid flutes to fit
the shade and finished at the bottom with
only a narrow gimp.

Twe Itaiian Dishes.

New York Evening Post.
Two new and excellent dishes for an April
luncheon to be served as a course or as a
dinner entree come to us from an Italian
cook. One of these is sweetbreads a la
Milanaise, and the other liver a rItalienne.
Neither of them is very high-priced and
both are attractive and very palatable. The
liver a fItalienne. which is the more eco
nomical, is prepared in the foIlowing way:
Butter individual metal moids, and line
them with ~spaghatti which has first been
cooked in boiling sailed water. Pour off
the water, pour cold water over the spa
ghatti and drain it. Do not break the pieces
before cooking, as they are to be coiled
it and inclose the liver as a case of puff
paste would. To prepare the liver filling
take a cupfus of dry fine bread-crumbs, mix
until the milk is absorbed. Add one-auar-
ter of a pound of uneooked calfss liver
chopped fine, two tablespoonfuls of grated
salt, and q dash Of red pepper. Mix well,

RUBlES AND SAPPHlRES.

The Same Stones, Dolly Differently
COl0red.
The finest pigeon blood" rubies come
from Burma, those from Siam or Cey-
Ion being too dark or too pale, and the
Montana stones being cloudy and
brown. A perfect one carat specimen
may cost $500 while diamond Of the
finest water Of the same size can be
bought for $125, says the Houston Post.
The rich color Of the ruby, color
which does not blacken like the blue
Of a sapphire by night, is supposed to
be due to trace Of oxide of chromium
but this is still moot point with chem
lists. and all are not even agreed as to
the sapphire's velvet Hnge.
This latter stone is much less valua-
bic than ruby, being found larger and
more abundantly. Sapphires really
present all colors, the pure white varie-
ty, when skillfully cut, being difficult
to tell from a diamond. This decep-
uon honest jewellers frequently practice
to catch the unwary. Both rubies and
sapphires are occasionally met with as
star stones"-that is, opaque cabochon
cut gems showing the perfect steely
rays of star. A star ruby is Excess
sively rare, but the sapphire star is
fairly common.

A Difficult Tax.

The Massachusetts tax assessors are
having difficulty in their efforts to
assess the tax on bicycles provided for
by recent law of that state. They
generally report that they have been
unable to get hold of hardly half the
wheels in use, and in some places
could not have made even that show
ing had it not been for the wheelmen's
directories, published before the tax
law was passed. Many of the wheels
are owned by minors, whose property
to the value of 81, 900 can be exempt
ed. The Massachusetts assessors had
a similarly bothersome task few
years ago in the taxation of hens, of
which the legislature subsequently
relieved them
