get the facts on both sides and then
form your own opinions. Express them

From Across the Waters.

A few notes Of interest taken from a
letter written by Mrs. NJ. S. Whitford to
her father, while aboard the Paris, on
her way to England.

This boat is like small size town, l75
cabin passengers, 800 steerage and be-
tween 250 and 300 crew. Although it
has cracked boiler, and a rudder from
the steamer New York that does not
work right, it has averaged $50 miles a
day.
There are number Of young men
aboard, most OF them English, been to
different parts of the globe, one was from
Florida, lived near Minor and Dan
Stevens; one from Salt Lake, who knew
OF David Murray, but not per-
sonally acquainted, so you see we almost
meet acquaintance among strangers.
We have several celebrities aboard, a
fine pianist fromBelgeum,a violinist and
a noted negro jockey from California,
going to England TO ride for Dwyte Il
Co. A ship is the place to meet persons
from all nations, it is interesting at the
same time amusing.
Tell the boys, l wished they could
have seen the fish boat we passed under
full sail, it would have been more inter
esting than TO read about it in their
geography. We will get into port about
4 o'clock to-day, March 9th.

TIE worlds visible supply of wheat
has fallen about 100000 bushels since
the beginning OF the year. During the
corresponding period in 1894, the de-
crease was 100000 and in 1898 it was a
little more than 100000. The decrease
in the supply is probably the cause OF
the increase in price Of three cents per
bushel last week.

THE NEWEST IN RIBBONS.


Lace and black or some other dark
velvet ribbon or ribbons of some de-
scription are considered Indispensable
additions to the class of dressy gowns
now dictated by fashion. The very
newest ribbons have edges of jet or
lace Black silk crepe-lisse ribbon is
another novel variety largely used to
veil trimmings of brilliant color.
There are likewise expensive hand
painted and gauze ribbons, with
fringed or lace edges-in short, never
did the ribbon weavers turn out so
much variety as the present product of
their looms. 1t now seems almost IN
credible that not many years ago the
trade of ribbon weavers in this coun-
try was almost at a standStlll, and the
Coventry work was SO ruinously slack
that a special appeal was made to
ROYALTY beseeching them to bestow
their patronage on ribbon and thus
save an impetus to an almost expiring
industry. Previous to this bonnets
and hats in summer were made of or
trimmed with tulle, silk, lace, net, etc. 4;
in winter with Terry velvet, plain vel
vet, plush, etc; one and all being
trimmed chiefly with flowers and
feathers. As trimming for gowns,
ribbon was hardly thought of, and at
that time it was impossible to suppose
nything approaching the present
popularity of and demand for ribbon.
At an importing house of note recent
ly tour was made through an i'm
manse room on the third floor OF the
great establishment, where nothing
was displayed but boxes of ribbons OF
every possible color, shade, pattern
width and fabric, from lisse in
shadowy patterns to velvet and satin
brocade The turn of fashions whee
can bring about extraordinary
changes. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Old jim Duncan, the slayer of ninety

back about ten miles from town after

OF fur lay in heap on the ground, and
the old hunter was just about to stoop
over it and jab his bowie-knife into it
when the bundle rose up like flash
and let out blow that sent Jim's mus
ket spinning fifty feet in the air. With
that there was the most exciting fight

ANIMAL VISION.
Evidences That Discrimination in ColOrs
Is Lacking.

Is Lacking.
There is little positive evidence that
the larger quadrupeds, oxen, deer the
felidae, or dogs, have much sense of
color; and their power of vision in its
wider sense varies so greatly in differ
ent species as to suggest that the men
tai factor in sight is often so little eX-
erted for the main purpose of discern
ing objects as to leave its more special
lied use for distinguishing color very
imperfectly developed Domestic ami
mails which see bright colors other
than green in large masses more fire.
quently than wild ones, might be sup
posed to exhibit the consciousness of
such differences in the most pro-
nounced way. Yet it is next to impos-
sible to cite an instance in which dog
exhibits curiosity as to color, or iden-
titles an object by its hue.
The writer has seen a setter refuse
to retrieve a black rabbit because it
apparently thought its master had
shot black cat But a house-living
dog shows no preference for a red car
pet or rug over a blue or variegated
one, and expresses no surprise or curl
osity whether its master wears red
uniform or black evening suit. Do
nestle cattle are so far affected by vio-
| lent contrast of white and dark that
! the presence of black, white or very
clearly spotted animal in the herd
sometimes results in calves being
thrown of the same color or markings.
But though red is said to irritate bull,
and to excite hunters by association of
ideas, the latter statement rests partly
on surmise. They are equally excited
by the sound or sight of hounds, or of
number of riders, whatever the color
of their coats. None of the cats,
whether wild or tame, shows any par
TALLY for bright hues; and among all
the stratagems used from time imme-
mortal by hunters, the use of color as
lure for quadrupeds is notably alb

raising district of Greece, are appre-
hensive that with the large crop now
on hand prices will SO far decline as to
make the crop an unremunerative one,
and as currants are the agricultural
staple of Greece it may be readily seen
that an injury of this kind would be a
very serious one to a country which
staggers under an unduly heavy load
of debt The present national in
debtedness of Greece is one hundred

of about fifty dollars a head. The
country is poor one, and much of the
land is unproductive. The sources Of
public revenue are few, and large
share of the debt is held abroad. The
debt per capita of the United States is
fifteen dollars, and of Turkey, a griev-
ously taxed country, forty dollars.
