ONE LESSON OF THE VAR.
.Japan Taught the Vah"e of Improved
Repeati,ag Rifles

.JaDan Taught the Vot"e of IntproUed
Repeating Rifles.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 17.-Com-
mander Myaoka, an attache of the Japa-
nese legation, referring to the military
operations OF the Japan-Ch1na war Just
closed, said: -,
at has afforded wide field OF opserva-
tion on modern methods OF warfare, as 1t
has been the first great conflict since the
Franco-German war, when the implements
of war were far less advanced than they
are now. At the outset the Japanese sol
diers were armed with old-style rlnes anu
the battle of Ping Yang was tought Will
single-ire guns. Among the guns cap
tured from the Chinese, it was found tnat
they had a very few superior repeating
rifles, although the bulk OF their arms were
found primitive and useless. Japan mas
since undertaken to rearm all soldiers with
repeating rifles of the latest type. Already
one-third of the troops have this new arm
and the Government arsenals are hard at
work turning out the, guns for complete
equipment.
''The war footing of the Japanese army
is now up to 900 men; their peace loot
ing was $4,000 distributed in six garrlsons.
Now that the war is over it is not likely
that an immediate reduction will be made
back to the peace basis, for II the hnal
terms of peace include cessions OF territory
permanent or temporary, there will have
to be forces for these localities, besides
equipping the six home garrisons.

AMERICANS IN GUATEM Ala.

Subjected to IltdtQnities.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 17.-There
was much complaint during the past year
of the abuse of Americans in Guatemala in
cases like that of Henry j. Stibbs. Officers
of American ships were seized in Guate-
malan ports and forced into military
service.
American workmen peacefully engaged
in labors were imprisoned and maltreated.
Some were subjected to the indignity of
lashings upon their bare backs, The De
partment of State has called for explana-
lions from the Guatemalan Government
and directed investigations through con-
sular officers, upon which to base demands
for indemnity.

There Will Be q Change.

It is the opinion Of the great Partisan
dressmakers that the spring Of 1896 will
be notable in the annals Of fashion on
account Of the revival, with but slight
notifications, Of the styles Of gowns
which were in vogue when Louis XVI
was king Of France, over century ago.
While these makers Of the mode have
not openly announced what they will
decree for the year hence, yet most Of
them are making plans in accordance
with this idea.
The real leaders Of the worlds modes
are of course the famous dressmakers Of
Paris, though they beguile their rich or
royal customers into thinking that the
dressmaker has little else to do than to
execute or amplify the suggestions Of
his patrons, while exactly the reverse is
true. Changes in style are always &C
complished by degrees Every one knows
how practically impossible it would be
to compel sudden and radical change
in costume, such as the abrupt trallsi-
ton from the present mode to that Of
the ancient Greeks, but even this would
be possible in time if the autocrats so
willed and threw their weighty inhu-
ence in favor Of the revolution.

An Interesting Campaign.

At the present moment an interesting
equal suffrage campaign is being prose-
cuted in South Carolina Among the
orators are Mrs. Virginia D. Young, a
wealthy lady of high social position, and
who is the president Of the State Equal
Rights association; Mrs. Viola Neblett,
vice president of the society; Miss Laura
Clay, president Of the Kentucky state
organization and a descendant Of the
great statesman, Henry Clay; Miss DR..
Helen Morris Lewis, president of the
North Carolina state organization; Miss
Elizabeth U. Yates Of the national or
ganization; the Misses Hemphill, daugh-
tiers Of General R. R. Hemphill Of Co.
lumbia, s. c.; General Hemphill and
Colonel William Perry Murphy. These
are the regular speakers. but in addi-
ton they are REINFORCED by volunteers
in different parts of the state. In this
manner they are enabled to give five or
six pithy, brilliant speeches in one even
ing and to show nonbelievers and people
who have given the matter no thought
that suffrage does not involve cranks,
ill bred, ignorant, coarse or immoral
people, but that, on the contrary, its
tendency is to bring together the best
types Of womanhood and to elevate the
mental and social condition Of the sex.

A Trilby Club.

There has recently been inaugurated
q Trilby club in Arlington, N. j., the
result Of a dream of one of the most
charming Of the young women of that
town.
The qualification for membership in
this club is a left foot; the credentials,
picture Of it. At present the club has
score Of members. Each has given the
picture of her left foot to the club, and
these form the art collection.
By unanimous consent the protector
Of the club, SO lovely was her Trilby,
was made president A fear Of publicity
keeps this club a secret organization,
but to give it an air Of dignity one mar
ried woman has been made member.
These pictures are all taken by the young
ladies and developed by one Of their
number Some of the photographs have
been seen. One especially is beauty Of
perfect outline and has the widely sep
arated toes over which Little Billee
raved, and which are small, slender and
graceful Such another Trilby, the girls
proudly declare, it would be hard to
find, and none there has been to dis
pute this.-New York Herald.

Miss MAY Cassatt.

One of the women who are becoming
famous in art is Miss May Cassatt, an
American who has lived in London and
Paris for many years. A critic says Of
her: If the signature upon each picture
were not Mary Cassatt, it is doubtful,
SO far as execution goes, whether any
observer would suspect that the painter
ia woman. Miss Cassatt s work is very
seldom defiant Of her sex. 1t has none
Of the chip OH the shoulder air, as who
would say, I am woman, but I can
paint like man, that the aggressively
masculine touch Of Miss Beaux, for ex-
ample, sometimes suggests. To all ap-
pearances, in technical attainment and
achievement, Miss Cassatt is simply un-
conscious of her sex, and would put him
who examines her work into similar
mood. Her hand is quite as firm as q
mans. 1t is great deal holder and
more precise than that Of many Of her
brethren at home and abroad"

Perfumed Sleeves.

The American dressmaker has yet
something to learn from her French sis
ter. Not the least charming Of the many
dainty and attractive features Of o
French gown as it comes fresh from the
modiste's box is the delicate perfume it
exhales. Upon examination this will be
found to proceed from bag Of sachet
powder, sewed to the lining in the up
per part Of each sleeve. She is not spar
ing in the quantity used either, for
each bag contains nearly two table
spoonfuls Of the powder with a very lit
tie cotton. The idea Of violet breathing
sleeves will readily recommend itself to
all dresamakers, whether professional Or
amateur. -Delineator.

Hard ON the Poor Farmer.

The oppression of the poor western
farmer still goes on apace. In Nebraska
the supreme court Of the state has just
taken from him lucrative means of live
lihood. For years there has been law in
the state requiring railroad engineers to
whistle at every highway crossing and i'm
posing fine Of $50 for every failure to do
SO, half the fine going to the informer.
For some reason engineers have not been
able to do all the whistling required by
this law, perhaps from need Of some steam
for running the locomotive, and the farm
ers have made great deal Of money by
Watching the crossings and bringing suit
against the companies for infractions Of
the law.
Every suit thus brought has heretofore
been decided against the companies, and
the law has cost them great deal Of mon
ey. One farmer recently got verdict for
50, 500 whistling money against the Union
Pacific. The supreme court has finally de-
clared the law Observation-Disclosures

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases

ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
Instance, been so pronounced by the best

strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery, "
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, In curative power over this

which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and

The Brooklyn Dialect.

Perhaps the most notable tendency
which Brooklynites display in speaking Is
that Of putting an sound on every word
ending in or aw. Eight Of ten people you
hear say mommer and pepper and the
idear, also lawr, sawr, jawr, etc. Another
popularity commonly encountered is that
attending the pronunciation of OF in such
words as oil, point, etc. Oil as given by
Brooklyn people is not quite SO bad as orl,
but comes pretty near 1t, q sort of sound
being introduced.
On the contrary, when the sound of r
shouldn't be distinctly heard 1t is fire.
quently omitted in such words as world,
first, third, pronounced woild, foist and
thoid. This popularity is, however, more
characteristic of New Workers than of
Brooklynites. The Latin prefix per in per-
spiration and in perhaps is often pro-
nounced as though it were pre-, us prespl-
ration and prehaps. In fact, it was only
the other day that professor in the boys
high school, an English teacher and doc
tor of philosophy, was heard to remark
that 'prehaps something was So" Some
other mistakes frequently made are carous-
ell for carrousel, again for agen, ben for
been and sassy for saucy.
The worst barbarism, however, is prac-
ticed in pronounoing proper names. Who
but Brooklynite would have the courage
to pronounce Schermerhorn as Skemma-

chief duty it Is to call out the correct
names of the stations, will invariably ex-

Have we no better way to honor the men,
DRY Of those two great men, Putnam and
Lafayette, than to call the streets named
after them Pootnam avenue and Layfay-
cite avenue? Or is 1t because Brooklynites
do not know who these men were? Ger
tainly it cannot be on account Of their

takes occur not infrequently among people
