Kaiser wilhelm's Wonderful Tablscloth.

The German emperor is possessed of re- markable tabldoloth, which was presented to him upon tho occasion of his wedding by tho women of Sleswick and Holstein. Woven into it's texture are great number of proverbs and notices. Theso had be- come oblitorated by use.. Tho emperor, however, being desirous of having the words rendered readable, caused the cloth to bo sent to Berlin, where it has been carefully cleaned. The following are a few of tho proverbs to be found upon it: ''Willst thou here have spass (fun), be thou careful with thy glass, Endurance gives strength that lasts, Do not be- lieve all you hear, do not say all you know, do not do all you would like" Always hope, never fear" Important to dospiso tho past, well and maturely to contemplate tho future, well to arrange the present, and thus peaceful life is spent, |" "I await fortune according to my idea, Heart seeks heart everywhere, "Wisdom govern, peace reign, lovo dwell, labor act honor grace. .'-Philadelphia Record

HE GOT HIS PAY.
An Odd Coincidence That Occurred Be-

An Odd Coincidence That Occurred Be-
 tween Borrower and Lender.
 Hero is ono of the odd coincidences of life, said my friend Williams. .Some time ago an acquaintance came to me and told me he was i'll great need of $l5, and at considerable trouble to myself I let him have it. He promised to return it in few days.
 When thrco weeks had elapsed, men, tioned the matter to him casually, and he was profusely pologctic-would send it to me the following day sure. It didn't come, though, DOT did I get my word from him. About two weeks after that I met him in Broadway. He declared it was a shame l hadn't got my money and vowed ho wouldn't let another day pass without paying me.
 1t went along then for a week or ten days, and as my expenses were very heavy, I was considerably embarrassed and needed the money badly. One night when l was feeling particularly discour- aged, sat down and wrote him a note. I said: My Dear Sir-About six weeks agoI loaned you SIS. Lest the paying 1t should occasion you any inconvenience allow me to hereby mako you a present. of the money
 That will bring it, if anything will, thought l. Judge of my surprise when by tho next mornings mail I received letter from the man inclosing the $15. By the same mail exactly ho must have re- ceived mine making him present of it, and hby tho dates both letters were ovi- dently written at about the same hour" New York Herald

In the make up of the summer ward
robe the bicycle gown, or rather the bicycle
outfit, is such an important factor that the
choice Of material and style is a serious
question. Mohair or alpaca is a favorite
fabric and is equally desirable for street
and travelling costume on account of its
light weight. Linen, duck and holland in
tailor form, with blazer or Elton Jacket
and dainty cotton or silk shirts are made
up for midsummer wear. For cooler days
the Norfolk jacket increases in popularity.
Mohair also appears in the new bathing
costumes and IS a serviceable fabric as it
does not easily absorb water. The "Tril-
by" jackets, now so popular, are very
pretty in mohair, lined with bright colors
and trimmed with revers of velvet or silk.
These jackets are made up in the same
material of the skirt as we'll as of pique,
embroidery and linen TO be worn with
wool skirts. Fancy waists are more
abundant, more varied and more attractive
than ever. The styles, fabrics and trim

Information TO Give.

EDITOR EVENING HERALD 81 would
like very much if you would give me
space for the benefit of some of our young
gentlemen, as they call themselves. A few
years ago there wa some bother about a
horse which l and another young man
kept out of town for a few weeks. We
paid all the costs and I think we are free.
Now the reason l I'm doing this is that it
seems some young men are bothering about
the case very much. If they want to
know very bad who stole the horse ] will
give them a chance to fnl out, but they
will have to pay for it. I think people
should be left alone and not slandered
when they are walking the streets.

III and Ailsa the former won by fifteen
minutes. 1t was a dead beat to windward

1t was an ideal day for a trial of light
weather sailing upon the part Of Valkyric.
The course determined upon was from
Hunters Quay round the Skelmorlie bell
buoy and back. Nalkyrie and Ailsa started
at 2:30 ?. m, both yachts carving their
jib topsails. Ailsu crossed the Ene dozen
lengths ahead of her opponent, and on the

lenger was Il quarter of a mile dead TO
windward, and she afterwards slid away
on the starbu1rd tack in inimitable style.

the mark for the run hom, she set a big,

but she could not reduce the gap between
herself and NaIkyric, and the latter fin

fair racing trial, and Valkyrie upheld the
reputation which she gained on Saturday
