Flowered organdie was the material
employed to make one of the latest
gowns for summer. These organdies arc
very fashionable, and yet, sueh is the in

ought to be. There is either too much or
too little trimming put upon them, Or
they are made in some fussy and unbe-
coming style The most original design
for an organdie was made with plain
gored skirt full III the back and having
crush belt of reseda soft silk, which
supported two deep loops and ends Of
tho same in shape Of a sash Each was
the whole width Of the silk. A rosette
headed tho sash The sleeves were druop-
ing balloon puifs and the waist was ar
ranged III blouse plaits with four large
smoke pearl buttons. The shoulders
were cut in q scaliop and piped where il
fell over the sleeves. The stock collar
was of the rcseda silk. The organdie was
ivory white with reiada culored stripes,
and there were sprigs Of flowers Of
pale red and green foliage scattered over
it in an irregular pattern.
The crgandies arc all marked by their
delicate and artistic colors, and they
look cool and pleasant The Russian
linen in string or natural hemp color is
very much liked Some Of it is almost
coarse enough to strain peas through.
The coarser it is the more stylish it is
considered This is more often made
with plated blouscs than with amy other
sort of waist They are tucked or have
bias strips and Tapped seams for sole

iting dress has just been finished made
Of cream white poplin, the skirt cut in
wide flare and finished with the most
exquisite care, though the skirt was en-
tirely bare Of trimming. The waist was
round and had one lapel turned To the
right and four large frosted gold but
tons. This lapel and the collar, al well
as the left side Of the waist, were richly
embroidered with brown silk and gold
thread. The sleeves were gigots, not
very large and having small, stiff cres-
cent shaped caps to press the plaits
downward.
To wear with this there was dainty
little brown velvet cape, with a collar Of
escurial lace and full ruff Of narrower
lace at the neck and also a cream white
satin ribbon bow Oh the right side.
There are tabs 10 the cape reaching al
most to the bottom Of the dress, and
these were Of heavy corded brown silk,
bound with cream white reps, and the
whole stiffly wrought with darker brown
embroidery and jet beads Of the finest

rarely have any trimming not made by

SO thin and transparent, gives a lighter

of the Mussulmans, the life of the harems,
which has transmitted to the harems of
Bosnia and Herzegovina the pretty science
of weaving those soft and flexible cotton
and silken or purely silken stuffs known
as beZ, in which the Turkish women,
closely yelled, drape themselves with SO
fine and becoming dignity, and the sup
pleneSs of which accompanies like q verita-

ments when they venture out of their
homes.
These three industries, all three charm
ing and adjoining with their beauty many a
Bosnian interior, were falling into decay
and on the point of perishing when the era
of Kallay Began. There, as everywhere.
the intervention of the new administrative
head of the country was quickly tangible
and salutary. State manufactures were
constructed An attempt was made to
find the weavers of both sexes who had
preserved the tradition and who knew how
to recover the vanishing art of design, to
work the pure wool, to give it at once sup
pleness and resistance, and in particular
that vegetable coloring which nothing can
alter, which preserves the brilliance and
solidity of the wool, in contrast with the
ready decay which follows the application
of mineral dyes. The same thing was
done in tie case of damasquinage, and in
the model atelier of Saraieyo, where a
whole collection of young apprentices and
experienced workmen are reviving a glo-
rious industry, short time ago threatened
with destruction, the best workmen of
Toledo will find victorious rivals-M de

delivers his sentences with a didactic en-
phasis, intensified by a peculiar little ges-
ture with the right hand, which he swings
every material point. In his earnestness
he often leaves his desk. Advancing
slowly or retreating, he continues in his
address and makes a favorable impression
by the righteousness both in his manner
OF acting and thinking.
One drawback to his delivery is the
cracking of his voice when it is raised
above certain pitch. This impedes his
utterance and mars the force of his address.
William M. Cutter of Yuba while not a
young man, is still very far from being a

ton is most peculiar. The articles 1.-The, -

One of the younger men who is often on
the floor is Robert n. Bulla of Los Angeles.
He is not brilliant speaker, but he COM
mands the attention of the House, and
states what he thinks to be true with such
an earnestness and an evident lack of ul-
terror motive as to carry conviction. He is
recognized as one of the ablest thinkers in
the Assembly.
Dodge of Alameda, who sits Just behind
Mr.. Bulla, is also listened to with marked
respect. H. G. w. Dinkelspiel of San
Francisco is another of the young lawyers
whose arguments are never Sighted.
III. H. North of Alameda is unfortunate
in having a seat way to one side of the
Speakers desk. He has Won recognition
as a thoughtful earnest and valuable
member of the House Though he has not
the brilliant address of some of his col
leagues, he has a sturdy worth that makes
him a very valuable member of the Assem-
bly,. His colleague, Judge Waymire,
speaks frequently, but his voice lacks the
strength necessary for the orator, and his
principal work is done in the committee.

The finest oyster | ever saw in life?
You won't mention my name? Well,
then, let me see. think the finest oyster
| ever saw in my life was a Cherrystone.
| swallowed my first Cherrystone oyster
under particularly pleasant circumstances.
1t was in Paris, in 1886, think 1t was at
supper given by Sarah Bernhardt to
some friends, and l happened to be a
friend of friend of hers. She had been
to the United States, and had fascinated
all who met her Among these was a
man who was interested in the Old Domin-
ion line of steamers that ruin between New
York and Norfolk, Va. He was something
OF a gourmet. He wanted to make Nine.
Sarah a present-one that would be appre-
ciated and that, STILL would not bring
much at a forced sale. He decided to send
her barrel of Cherrystone oysters. These
oysters grow on the shores of the CheSa-
peake Bay, and so close in shore that when
the tide is out stream of fresh water
flows over them.
Now, an oyster to be perfect, in my
opinion, should be about three inches in
diameter. For the first three years of his
existence he grows at the rate of an inch
in diameter per year. After that he grows
more slowly. [ think that when he is
buTee years Olu uG udS ill lie virtues ana
none of the vices. This American knew
what an oyster was. He gave an unlimited
order-that is he said that he wanted a
barrel of oysters, each oyster to be three
inches in diameter, each oyster to be as
bursting with life as it is possible to be,
and each oyster to be alive and in good
condition ten days after he was packed I
know it looks like large order, but it
was filled. The oysters were to be packed
and shipped at Norfolk, Va, and thence
sent to New York. The passage from Nor
folk to New York occupied about Is hours.
Then the oysters were to be put aboard
fast Atlantic liner and reshipped to
Paris the moment the liner reached this
side. The man who took the order knew
his business. He gave himself so much
time for dredging the bed and packing the
oysters. Then he got his oysters and he
packed them in layers. Over each layer
he sprinkled some oatmeal. Then he had
the barrel packed. He poured some Chesa-
peake Bay water over the last. The bar
rel was put aboard an Old Dominion
steamer. Then, at New York, it was put
aboark either the City of Paris or the City
of New York, I'm not sure which now. 1t
was landed at Liverpool, shipped thence to
Dover and to Paris, and did the whole
journey in less than ten days. Those oys-
tiers were perfect and the party was large
enough to dispose of the barrel. Those, in
my opinion were the finest oysters | ever
ate.-Pall Mall Gazette.

those of Mr. Brusie, they are couched in
most elegant English. His delivery gains
strength from its freedom from affectation,
and his voice, clear and resonant, he has
well under control without impressing one
with the fact.
Frank H. Powers, the chairman of the
San Francisco delegation, is the only one
of that group of bright young men who has
distinguished himself on the floor. Of
magnificent physique, his very appearance
commands attention. Having gained this,
he keeps it by the force of what he says.
He is a passionate speaker. He is one
of the number who always speaks for a
purpose. His arguments possess the merit
OF being logical, and he throws his whole
soul into the task of impressing his own
ideas upon his colleagues. There is an
earnestness in his address that is refresh
ing, while the rapidity of his delivery, the
quick sequence with which one idea fol-
lows another, though sometimes almost
startling, usually gives easy illustration of
the point he seeks to make clear

gestures are few, but they are the natural
motions of an earnest talker and SO much
in harmony with the matter of his ad-
dresses that they are hardly noticed.
1t is in his impromptu speeches that he
shows to best advantage. Never hesitat-
ing for word to express his ideas, he
covers his entire subject in logical order,
speaking rapidly but not hurridly. He is
an earnest talker and at no time allows
himself to indulge in the personal attacks
that frequently disfgure the speeches of
his more youthful colleagues.

Adventures of the ArgOnauts Who Set
Out From New Albany, Ind.
A curious bit of the gold-fever times of
AZ Is recalled by the venerable William
Fogg, who is well known all over the State
as an old-time banker. Mr.. Fogg at the
time was clerk on one of the steamboats,
plying out of New Albany, for that city

New Albany had the gold fever badly,

while, but at last they were ready to start.
The boat they had chartered to take them
to st. Joe, Mo-, was ready and they babe

grand holiday. Every factory, store and
business house was closed and cannons fired
at sunrise to announce the event. Friends

of Santa Cruz. He is a fowery speaker,
and often leads to most effective anti
climax by piling glowing phrase upon
phrase, only to abruptly expose the poy-
erty of the movement he is opposing.
The Democratic minority is notsrich in
picturesque material. 1t boasts three ora
tors, however, each of whom is splendid
representative of a distinct class. These
are III. w. Laugenour of YOlo, the chair
man of the Democratic minority; n. L. +.
Bachman OF Fresno, and D. G. Reid of
Trinity.
Mr.. Laugenour is one of the most youth
ful members of the Assembly. His face is
bright and engaging, and even in the
hottest debate never shows a trace of the
passion that at times mars that of some of
his colleagues. A fluent speaker, he al
ways addresses himself to the point and
talks with a refreshing frankness that
gains point in that, while a weakness is
sometimes confessed, it is usually brought
forward to exhibit alongside of another
more glarlng weakness on the part of his
opponent.
Mr.. Lougenour has gained especial
prominence through his advocacy of GER
tain appropriation measures. While they
were popular and enabled him TO plead
hard for his constituents and impress the
susceptible members of the majority with
the fact that they had an opportunity to do
something for their respective districts the
passage of these measures would have
necessitated ruthless and perhaps fatal
sacrifice of pledges on the part of the Re-
publiCans whom he enlisted in large num-
| berS in his cause.
Mr.. Bachman represents the easy-going,
| jovial, yet eloquent, sons of the South
He speaks readily to every question of
general interest, and while usually con-
tenting himself with standing at his place
Z n a Oh of

| grow earnest III the advocacy of his prin-
ciples. He has a mellow voice, with
touch of the soft Southern twang. He has
also the impressive Southern chiValrOus
feeling for femininity, which is constantly
obtruding itself His speeches are to the
point and are usually good-natured. Their
wit Is not always without venom, though,
and frequently a sentence is launched
whose double meaning is only appreciated
by a part of the House.
Mr.. Reid, on the other hand, is a straight
1 forward speaker, who, II he has a point TO
score against measure or man, strikes
straight out from the shoulder. He is an
inveterate tobacco-chewer, and as the time
approaches when he is to get an oppOr-
tunlty to address the House, or when he
is particularly interested in a debate, his
jaws work with a most amusing rapidity
and regularity.
There is a nasal information of his voice
that is peculiar. The main oddly of his
delivery, however, IS his geSture-in-chief,
which does duty on all occasions. This is
the rapid shaking of his right hand with
the two first fingers extended. Mr.. Reid
is fearless speaker. He always has the
courage of his convictions and announces
them in no mincing way.

How Five Minutes Day May Be Profit

Nevertheless, the minute exercise is
better than absolutely nothing. and hence
/ am going to make a suggestion or two
regarding it. If you know any one who
can tell you the 'setting-up" drill practieed
in the navy, get him to show it to you,
and then go through a part or the whole
of that each night and morning. If you
cannot find out what this is make up few
simple movements for yourself, for ex-
ample:
First-Standing erect with heels and
knees together, move the body forward
and gradually try to touch your fingers to
the ground in front without bending either
knee. This IS familiar exercise to all of
you, but it is a good one, nevertheless
This will do for the back and front leg
muscles Bend forward twenty times and
then take up the second exercise.
notwithstanding with the legs apart,
swing from side to side, bending either
knee in turn, and touching the floor first
on the right side, then on the left side, be-
ing careful, however to sway only sidewise
and not forward and back. Do this twenty
times and your sides will ache,
Third-Grasp one wrist with the other
hand, holding both across your chest
Then, without letting the elbows go too
far out from the body, pull with all your
strength steady, long pull, as if trying to
pull your hands apart Maintain this pull
for second or two. Then change abruptly,
