THE BALL At THE ELYsee.

How the Plain Dress Of Our Minister There
Distinguishes Him.
A modern ball al the palace of the
Elysee, In Paris. where the president
Of France lives, IL IN extraordinarily
brilliant and picturesque sight, for,
besides the military trappings and
gold braid Of the army officers, and
the exquisite, delicately-tinted toilets
and elaborate coiffures of the French
women, there are the varied "habits"
Of the many members Of the diplo-
matte corps. These uniforms alone
arc sufficient to furnish a brilliant
mass Of color and elaborate display.
Described in detail and according to
their nations, they are these:
France-A scat Of dark blue, EN-.
broidered with gold ornaments and
leaves.
Germany-A dark-blue coat, embroidr
cred in gold and faced with gold orna-
menta.
Russis-A green tunic. embroidered
In silver and figured in lilac.
Austria-A coat of green cloth, en-
broidered with a gold acanthus palm.
England-A coat of dark blue, also
embroidered with M acanthus palm of
gold.
Italy-A coat Of royal blue, embroid-
cred with golden leaves.
Spain--A coat of blue, embellished
with gold leaves and ornaments.
Portugal-A coat of blue with golden
leaves.
1t should be remembered that the
rank of q diplomat Is shown by the
embroideries that adorn his uniform
The higher standing he has the great.
or amount Of gold that is on his per-
son. Ambassadors and ministers pie
nipotentiary have their collars and
cuffs, their breasts and the facings Of
their pockets set of in golden thread.
The secretaries of embassies and the
various consuls general have just q
shade less Of adornment on their uni
forms.
From an overplusage Of gold lace the
other extreme Ia reached in the con-
ventional evening clothes of the Amer
lean ambassador, who appears a solemn

A Century Ago These Unfortunstss Wei

A Century Ago These Unfortunatss Were
Brutaliy Treated.
Little more than q century ago pris-
oners of war were treated with sys-
tematic brutality. That gave John
Howard his first task. Providence
made him a sufferer in his own per-
son, and thus pointed out the special
field in which his philanthropic i'm
pulses were to find employment.
Towards pity was reused by the tales
of wretchedness he heard from Lisbon
after the great earthquake. He took
passage on the Hanover brig, with the
intention simply Of helping those un-
fortunates. But the Hanover wa
captured by q privateer. which carried

On arrival at Brest no one needed their

Six weeks Howard remained In THU

lawful business, but In time Of war
Relieved then ON parole, he appliei
! himself to ransom his fellow-su1Ierers
and afterward travelled to other fort
and stations where Englishmen wer,
confined. 1t seems impossible tina
any Of them could have been NOR hor
rible than Brest, but Howard founl
such; at Oman, for example, wher'
thirty-six poor wretches were buriet
in one day. Returning home. he in
v~estigated the English Arrangement

not less horrible. II il well TO recol
