Anarchists in European Countries,

About 1000 persons in France are
marked as Anarchists, and are con-
Istantly watched by the police of the
various European countries, according
to La Figaro, of whom son are French
and 1900 ore foreigners, Italy leading
with $40, followed by Switzerland
with 800, Germany and Russia with
l240 each, Austria and Belgium with
sixty each. AS regards occupation,
ishoemakers, carpenters and day
,laborers of all Nations furnish largo
proportions of the Anarchists, while
the educated professions hardly ap-
pear. German tailors and printers,
Swiss watchmakers and farmers, Italian
clerks and bakers, and French walters
and persons without avowed business
tend more to anarchy than those OF
other Nationalities. The Russians
differ from all others in that thirty
per cent. of the persons under sur
veillance are students, another thirty
per cent. professional men, and hardly
one per cent. have occupations re-
quiring no education. = Chicago

Sometimes he reads poem or tells a
story of NEUROLOGICAL times or OF mod
ern events. When he comes to a par
ticularly good point he claps together
q couple of little slabs Of wood, which
are kept by him for that purpose.
The latter are also seen at the theatre.
There is always a man sitting at the
extreme right of the stage with two
small fat pieces of wood. and when
ever the situation becomes critical or
exciting he stimulates the interest OF
the audience by olapping them to-
gether. When the murderer is creep
ing upon his victim, when the suicide
is about to fall upon his sword or
when the villain runs away with the
heiress he makes a terrible racket that
often browns the dialogue.
The entertainments of the yose are

from japanese Tennyson, an extract
from the plays of japanese Shakes

the middle seam, throwing two forms
into one; and this single broad form,
after being tapered to the waist line,
expands below, and is folded in
triple box plait and kept quite fl 1t. A
kind of fan plating is thus made in
the two back seams. A single side
form reaches far forward under the
arms. The front is quite straight, or
else is fitted partly by single darts.
Revers are rather short and widely
pointed. Often there are two or three
revers each side of the front, and the
collar is formed of similar pointed
pieces. One feature is that OF cutting
the coat much lower about the throat
than any worn in many years.
Sleeves are large, and are usually OF
the shape now prevalent. They are
given a new effect, however, by the
way they are put in the armhole, the
space directly at the top being left
plain, in order to increase the appear
ance of very, long shoulders. All the
fullness is then massed in plaits on
the side and underneath. This also
makes sleeves droop about the elbow.
Other sleeves are shaped by seams
from top to bottom, giving melon
puff in sections, rather than the bal
loon puff of last year.
Both smooth and rough finished
clothes are used. The latter for jack
etspf medium price, while those OF
cloth with velvet like finish are good
enough to wear with the best calling
toilettes. These are imported in dark
tan, golden brown, and green, while
navy blue and black are more often
chosen for the rough woolens.-Har'

Great Blast.

Seven tons of gunpowder were employed
in great blast at Penrhyn Quarries,
Bethesda, North Wales. The object in
view was the demolition of ahuge pinnacle
of rock, which has been picturesque OBJ
ject for generations, and which must be
familiar memory to the thousands who
visit the spot every year. Some idea OF
the gigantic dimensions of the place may
be gathered from the fact that the rock
face between the different terraces is some
where about sixty feet in depth. The
peak rose in the midst of the araphitheatre
formed by the quarries-itis is estimated to
have contained over 1876, 900 tors. Quite a
crowd gathered to witness the effect OF the
blast, and certainly those present were not
disappointed in the spectacle afforded.
On the signal being given, the gunpowder
was ignited, and amid the curling smoke
the pinnacle was seen to tottcrr and then
10 fall in fragments TO the bottom.

Body Turned to Stone.

The bodies of four Chinese were ex-
humed at Columbus, Ohio, and placed
in zinc boxes To be shipped to Chins.
Great CONSERVATION was caused when
it was found that the body of one OF
them, Mo Lung, who had embraced
the Christian religion before he died,
had turned to stone.
AS the box provided for it was not
half as long as the body, it became
necessary to break the petrified
corpse. To do this the Chinese in
idulged in n tug-of.war with the
corpse, breaking the legs, arms and
head off in that way.-San Francisco

Glad 10 Bc in America,

"I'm glad live in America" said a
pretty young woman, talking to a
Philadelphia inquirer reporter, "be-
eause am never afraid to travel by
myself. Last year was in London,
and went around with friend who is
married, and we were spoken to in an
insulting manner every time we went
out. Paris was still worse. People
speak of tho French politeness, but it
is only veneer. The men would get
in front of us on every street corner
and smirk and ogle and chatter like
monkeys. Pm glad didn't under
stand anything they said. There are
no men like the American men, and l
never was so fully able to appreciate
it as am, now have seen those Of
other Nations in their own lands. Be-
sides, the girls are treated better here
than anywhere else on earth, and l

The cooler regions of the globe are
becoming depopulated, and every
where, DR.. d. G. Brinton assures US,
the arctic and sub arctic zones have
fewer inhabitants than half century
ago. One cause is the destruction OF
native tribes by the Introduction OF
new modes OF life, new diseases, alco,
hol and idleness. Another influence
is the fact that the arctic regions, like
the mountains, were originally chosen
as homes only by refugees of con-
quered and dispersed bands, and all
who can return to less severe climates
are now doing SO. The centre OF
population tends more and more to fix
itself between forty-five and ffty:five
degrees of latitude.

PLAID GOWNS.

There seems to be quite fancy for
plaids of every description this season,
and they certainly do brighten up the
somber dark blues and browns and
greens which so many women affect
lust now. OF course, the plaid is in
troduced more in the way of thinning
and accessories than anything else.
A whole plaid dress on large woman
always looks little incongruous.
One of the prettiest ways to use plaid
is in blouse waist. But even that is
too loud for a woman of more than or
dinary stature, SO she has to confne
her choice to bands of it.

VYTAIST trimmings ere grow

V V crate, if that were pos
sible, until there is no
telling where this extreme will end.
A new costume has an arrangement OF
fchu and drapery that illustrates the
excuses to which this fashion is being
carried. A narrow section of the ma
terial extends over each shoulder from
the waist line at the back to the bod
ice point in front. This is laid in
plaits that are caught down or pressed
to hold them in place. From the
front of this plating long tabs fall al
most to the hem of the skirt in front.
Around this and the waist section is o
plating made extremely full and
graduated. Over the shoulders it is
about eight inches wide and grow
narrower to the waist line, whero it is
but about an inch and half in width.
The same order is observed in the
tabs. At the lower portion the plait-
ing Is very wide; large, loose bow
is placed at the waist line in front and
covers the meeting point of the plait-
ings that pass over the shoulders.
This arrangement is made of taffeta
silk and crepon, and is large enough
to almost entirely cover the waist and
the tops of the sleeves nearly to the
elbows.
Another waist trimming has double
ruf1e, of taffeta silk on wool ma
terial. These ruf1es are set in just
over the shoulders, and are graduated
to the waist line, where they form
surplice effect. Over these double
ruffles orc very wide pointed revers of
the dress fabric. These revers are
opened on the shoulder like lapel,
one point running in front of the
sleeve, the other in the back.
