The Italian Repsiss.nca.


 Florence. the Athens of Italy, had banished the Medici family, after hay ing put them i'll power, and had just burned Savonarola at the stake, after having regarded him as an idol and a prophet. The city was governed by grand council. Trade was prosperous; certain families had immense riches. One Rucellai spent 100000 francs upon his wedding, while a merchant named Luca Pitt commenced the erec- tion of palace which, it is ture, he was unable to finish, but which has, nevertheless, made it's founder famous Brunellesohi drew the plans for it, but this Pitt has received all the credit His edifice is the most perfect specimen of Tuscan architecture extant. It be- came the palace of the Medicis and is today one of the finest museums in the world, and the only one of which it can be said that it contains many master pieces and not one poor picture. CT
 Wealth and love of art were not the only features which distinguished the inhabitants of this center of the Italian renaissance. They did not confine them selves to the building of palaces, the construction of monuments and the en-. couragement generally of science and art. They professed. also, the worship of woman and the 'adoration of beauty. Every rich man, if he we're not the hap py possessor of lovely wife, indulged in the luxury of pretty mistress. The customs of the period threw no obstacles in the way of keeping mistress, al- though they were more in favor of Ger tain unions, legitimate but i'll assorted, which contributed to society the seduc- tive clements of wit and beauty Read Boccaccio, and you will obtain suff1- ciently exact idea of what was said and done in those houses filled with works of art and handsome women.-Nineteenth Century.

FOURTEEN SAILORS LOST.

Explosion of . Cargo of Naphtha on the
 Athena on Cape May. F'-
 PHILADELPH1A, Dec. 1s. .@The German ship Athena, from New York for London, was lost at sea on Sunday, Dec 1b, to- gether with the captain and 13 men, who were part of . orew of 20 men, the first mate, second mate and four ssAmen being picked up by the British steamer Tafna, bound for this port.
 The awful accident was due to an ex- plosion of the ships cargo of naphtha and nitrogiy oefinN The explosion occurred while ths A Athena was 4yingsin . helpless condition at sea of Cape May
 Following Is a list of those lest: Cap tain M. Haak, George Kenke cook; Fritz Nehring, Hans Roenig, John Spencer, len and Sallmeske Holtz, seamen; Hans Asmussan, Wilhelm Heinz and Bernard Peohsteir apprentices, and two cabin boys, names not known. Those saved arc: Alex Franzelius, first mate; John Freess, second mate; Will liam Moulder, carpenter John Rudsit, Martin Pills and George Schroeder, sea men. f
 sSunday morning about o'clock the TAfn6 approached the Atheha, and when within' s csbiss length of hef flame was seen to shoot out of the center of Che deck and the port holes at the stern. A terrif4 10 explosion followed, and instantly ey- cry man on board tbs doomed ship was either thrown or jumped into the Joy wa ter. The Tafna put out boats to rescue the men, but they were only able to pick up six. Itis supposed that tho remaining IA were so injured by the explosions or numbed by the cold water that they were unable to battle with the heavy sea which was running at the time. a..' q
 The Athena was owned by Auborohard & Rostwiok of Bremen. She was 1,B58 tons register and was formerly An' Amefi- can vessel. She was double deoked and was built in Newburyport, Mass, in 1873 Her cargo was valued ht A45 GOO '

 Oh, those Bethlehem angels, when they went back after the concert that night over the hills, forgot to shut the doori All the secret is out. No more use of trying to hide from us the glories | to come. It is too late to shut the gate
 It is blocked wide open with hosanpas marching Shis way, and halleluiahs marching that way. In the splendor of the anticipation feel as if was dying mot physically, for I never was more well-but in the transport of the Christ mas transfguration.
 What almost unmans me is the thought that it is provided for such sinners as you and I have been. If it had been pro- vided only for those who had always thought right and spoken right and 1 acted right, you and would have had no interest in it, had no share in it; you and I would have stuck to the raft midocean, and let the ship sail by carrying perfect passen- gers from a perfect life on earth to a perfect life in heaven. But have heard 1 the commander of that ship is the same great and glorious and sympathetic one who hushed the tempest around the boat on Gali1ee, and have heard that all the passengers on the ship are sinners saved by grace And so we hail the ship, and it bears down this way, and we come by the side of it and ask the captain two questions, "Who are thou2" and "Whence?'

drawn in fllmy folds under the chin and
over the broad brim of the hat, and is more
consistent with its name than the small
strip drawn tightly over the eyes and nose
that was formerly worn. Brown net with
black chenille spots is the most recent
idea.
The inside of the parasol or sunshade is
the object of particular attention this year
Chiffon and lace are pressed into the serv-
ice to make 1t beautiful, even the wires
being hidden from view by soft shirrings
while the outside may be of plain satin or
mother of pearl moire This new idea is
rather a good one, however, for it is the
inside of the sunshade which makes a
background for the head and shoulders
and receives little wear, while the outside
bears the brunt of service and has far
less close relation to the face. Large tas-
sells are seen on parasol handles, while the
handles themselves are of dresden china
or mother of pearl inlaid with gold or are
in the likeness Of birds, flowers or fruit
Sequins are also employed as a sunshade
decoration.
