is such healthful one that It atones for

four walls for six months of the year
instead of upon the Bay Of Naples or

WASHINGTON ALLEYS.
In Washington, where the diplomats
bowl most, there are many private bowl
ing-alleys. Every house that has a bill
iard-room owns a bowling alley, and 1t Is
noticed that the tables OF one are deserted
for the long alleys of the other

expensive thing 10 possess. Nothing Ike

A good billiard-table, with Amazon rub

and polished floor. II tips slightly and
has cutters at each side, with PIN pit
at the foot Of the alley.
But this is easily arranged by the dealer
in bowllng-alle who supplies them at
private houses. He does nothing else for
business but make these bowling alleys.
and, as a great argument for the popu-
larity OF the alley a home, may be men
toned the fact that three bowling alley
dealers in Washington have been made
wealthy in few years.
In New York the bowling Is mostly done
at the few very swell bowling clubs OF
| the city. The Ladies' Berkeley club is
the favorite for parties Of young people
evenings. But the Knickerbocker Bowl

FASHIONS FANoIEs.

Every description Of thin, gauzy, ma
terlal is popular for gowns and waists
Red, yellow, blue, mauve, and green
organizes, trimmed with cream OF
black lace, make very stylish-lookine
gowns.
Black lace and insertion on white cos
tunes is one Of the newest fancies Of
the hour.
Wide collors Of batiste and lace are
quite generally used for the decoration
Of summer gowns.
White enamel buttons. set with a
single tiny brilliant, are very beautiful
for trimming white and ecru linen
gowns.
Dresden ribbon having o white
ground, and pink, blue, or rosy violet
flower design, is in favor for trimming
white dresses.
Melton cloth Of the finest quality Is
used by fashionable tallors instead of
covert suitlng for costumes and jackets
for cool days.
Coarse black net over silk is used in
fashioning the bodices Of stylish mid
summer costumes, while the skirt is Of
the silk, untrimmed.
Spangled trimmings, colored en-
broideries, and beaded passementeries,
in gold, silver, and oxidized effects, are
extremely fashionable.
Colored batlste blouses, with tucked
muslin and lace collars and cuffs, and a
wide plat down the front, are charm
ing little additions to the wardrobe.
A new style Of tennis shoe has the ad-
vantage Of heel, and also fiat sole,
thereby causing no injury to the court,
and they are quite an Improvement up
on the old style Of springfield slipper
White tucking, combined with white
or colored beading and satin baby rib
bon, is very pretty for Jokes, gulmpes,
and plastrons on children's frocks.
Parasols for everyday wear are most
ly of shaded silks; lavender and gold
gives a charming, fhimmering effect,
and red ones are always pretty, espe-
cially for pale-faced girl.

ness of the main elements Of climate.
In meteorology every table of averages
and extremes Is a prophecy Of what is
to DO In the future. That which has
been will be in the future. With the
correct figures as to rainfall in any
section for the past twent five years
1t is easy to force It the average for the
next quarter OF a century. We may
modify our condition as affected by
climate; we may construct wind
breaks and by other means conserve
moisture, but we cannot by taking
thought add an inch to our annual
rainfall, nor change the temperature
OF the mass Of air over wide area. In
other words, II is not in the power of
man to control the gigantic forces of
nature which are concerned in the pro-
duction Of climate.
The climate of this region Is the re-
suit of the general topography Of the
continent, and the direction and sweep
of the great thermal and boreal tides
of the atmosphere and the oceans. II
we could change the course Of the
winds and waters of the main current
Of the Northern Pacific, sending 1t far
to the southwark, we should thereby
change the climate Of the larger part
of Columbia and the western half Of
the United States But that is wholly
beyond human power.
So We are justified in the conclusion
that the climatic conditions Of the
country will remain practically I'M
changed so long as the everlasting
mountains remain in place, and so
long as the winds blow and the waters
flow in obedience to the eternal laws
Of nature.
This is today, and probably will be

tain Of humidity, and the boreal region
sends down the cooling breezes that
wiring fertilizing moisture from the
vapor-laden south winds. So the gull
and the Arctic sea are the positive and
negative poles Of the dynamic battery
which propels the life currents through
this favored region. And this is the
arena of conflict of the Titanic forces
of the antipOdes, whereby it is watered
and made fruitful, This conflict be-
comes at times intense and violent
causing local destruction and loss
But the more violent storms are only
incidental ills resulting from condi-
tons which promote the general good
And so our midland storms, though &C.

Too Much Country.

General Longstreet, in telling Of
some of his experiences in the war, said
that during the campaign of the Pen
insula he never had any opportunity
of sleeping except as his corps was
passing him. One night, as he had dis
mounted, leaving his horse in the
charge Of his ordinary, and going down
into the angles of one of those Virginia
fences, he overheard two soldiers talk

ably, and instead of sleeping, he lis

VACATION IN BED.
The Plcasurable Holiday Spent by Two

The Plcasurable Holiday Spent by Two
Nurses Who Needed Sleep
Two hospital nurses Of London tried
a new style Of recreation the other day,
with the most pronounced success.
They each had fortnight's vacation, and
they hired cottage in the country and
engaged an old woman to attend to
them. The inhabitants of the little
community were not informed regard
ing their novel project, and as the days
went by and the newcomers were never
seen the neighbors naturally were as
tonished, Some suggested that there
was some terrible mystery about these
women and that their strange unnatur-
al behavior should Immediately be
probed. II was even thought advisable
to have a consultation with the police
Of the district. The little cottage was
not molested nor its secrets prled into,
and the story did not come out until the
two ladies, their vacation over, made
a call upon the vicar, and after giving
him some small sum for charity ex-
planned the matter. 1t appears that
they had practically spent the whole
time in bed. For year past they had
got their sleep in such short snatches
and subject to 80 many Interruptions
that their one idea of blissful holiday
was season Of absolute and undis-
turbed repose.
