-------------------------- -------------------------- THE DEFENDER,

The Defender is getting down to busi- ness. She has had about all the acci- dents she seems likely to have At least she has had all she ought to have if she is going to have any luck. She may not need many more changes. And speaking of changes it is interesting to notice how much ground there is for the assertion that those who have the De- fender in charge have copied the good points of Valkyrie III. The Providence Telegram points out that after it was learned that Valkyrie would have tre- mendous spread of sail, a Watson idea, Herreshoff had larger sails made for Defender. When it was found that Val kyrie's mast measured nearly three inches in circumference larger than De- lenders, it was found convenient to in- vent an excuse for securing a larger mast for Defender. When the hollow steel boom idea was broached and it was seen that Valkyrie's boom was about 105 feet long, Bristol mechanics were straightway set at work turning out new hollow steel boom for Defen- der, and now it is stated that Defender is to have new and larger balloon top- sail and jib topsail "out of the usual style, both as to size and material" Of course it would be more gratifying to American pride if the Defenders s
 managers didn't feel obliged to imitate
 any English ideas. But there is noth- ing unfair about such imitation, and if | the Defender wins by the aid of it all will be forgiven. She has shown that she can go, and the hope that had been
 somewhat depressed by her misfortunes | has revived But it is very evident that she will have to go in order to beat Val | kyrie

ToM M0ORE,S FIRST SWEETHEART,
The Heroine of His "Mary, Believed Thee True.0

The Heroine of His .sMary, Believed Thee True"
 To the present generation the name of Mary Duff As known only by ira dition and by Moore's poem. says Ed ward Box in the August Ladies Home Journal. Yet her career reads like a romance. It was in London that she was born, in 1794. Her christened name was Mary Ann Dyke. When she was scarcely fifteen she was known far and wide as one of the most beautiful girls of the neighborhood. Her rov- erty led her to adopt the stage as a profession, and she with Ter TWO sis ters, also of great beauty, became dan- cers at the Dublin theatre, where their singular grace, comeliness Of face and person attracted immediate attention and admiration. Whenever the Dyke sisters appeared the theatre would be thronged. And Mary seemed to be the favorite of the trio.
 It was the fashion of the time at Kilkenny for gentlemen amateurs to give annuel public performances for the benefit of the poor of the city, and it was on one of these occasions, when the assistance of professional ladies from Dublin was invoked, that Thomas Moore, the Irish poet, was introduced to Mary Dyke, and immediately found himself passionately In love vita her. It was in the play, Fortunes Froic. that Tom Moore personated Robin Roughhead," and Mary Dyke Nancy"
 The Irish poet became Mary Dykes very shadow, and after awhile he Eouf- ed forth his great love for her and of fered his hand and heart. But. for some reason, the beautiful Mary d'6 not reciprocate the wealth of affection thus offered her, and she rejected hlm. It was this which led Moore to return to his room, and in the midnight hour, pen his celebrated love song, beginning Mary, believed thee true"

 and is hidden in back by the tails of jaunty Louis XIV. bodice of tur- quoise velvet. The bodice lining is dove colored gray satin and the wide revers show this dove colored facing.
 About the throat are bound clouds of
 white chiffon run with countless frills
 of narrow thread lace of the ivory vel
 low shade that so far has not been imi-
 tated, and in the midst of all this soft shrouding shines a great yellow tran sition gown, for those who do not want to adopt the incoming fashion in con- spicuous suddenness.
 Of course, it is not necessary to use so many different co1ors to be in accord
 with this color rule, for the essential point is to use subdued tones, or to abandon sharp contrasts. A second | model that is excellent for mid-season | is put before you by the artist, and is l sketched in silver gray suiting. The plain skirt is linen with old gold silk, | and vest of the same appears on the
 bodice, being marked at the top by lace and at the bottom with gathered chif- | ion. A wide collar of the dress goods, | square on back and ending at the waist
 in front is the most conspicuous feature
 of ornamentation, and above this there
 is a draped chiffon collar. Old gold
 ribbon gives the belt and the elbow
 sleeves are finished with lace cuffs.

have "the Newest Fashion of Mantues and everything belonging to a dress" Some of these come from Boston, and would have delighted the hearts of Mrs Hannah Teatts' moaish costumers. And at least one enterprising firm en- gagged in the manufacture of bicycles by way of assisting wheelwomen who are doubtful as to the best style Of dress to adopt, will send package containing a paper lady with six diff ferent designs, by leading costume ar lists, of appropriate and convenient cycling dresses.
 So, though "the old fashion changes, giving place to new" the land is Hood ed with pattern sheets, we have gone back to the sixteenth or seventeenth century methods of bringing the latest modes before appreciative eyes.

 WOMAN AS A VINE.
 Man is the sturdy oak; woman the clinging vine'
 |, From this fanciful old saying has DUVA uIdWh lHG WldSlJ PANN@Ai'A6 theory that woman, being vine, must necessarily be a clinger; helpless, de- pendent thing; the sport of the winds and storms unless upheld and sustain ed by some stalwart, majestic oak of a man. Or even if he is not stalwart and majestic. Many people seem to think that any kind of stick is good | enough for a vine to hang on.
 Hans Breitman's" humorous argu- ment presents the ''oak and vine" theo- ry in a just and rational manner that is not affected by the oddity of the dialect. in which it Is stated. And now a learned writer who is furnishing a Jewish paper, "The Occident." with a series of articles on "The Philology of all Cultured Nations" kindly gives us some information which it may be ad- visable to circulate.
 | According to this writer the primary meaning of the verb derived from "srig" | or ''srige," the ancient Hebrew for vine, is to interlace, to be strongly
 cemented. The secondary meaning is
 to be strong, vigorous, stout, robust, firm, solid, powerful, energetic, forcible, pity, efficacious If woman is vine 1t
 can be only in a secondary sense, con-
 sequently it is the secondary meaning
 of the word that most aptly is applied
 to her. She is not merely a clinger,
 she is coadjutor, powerful, energet- ic, efficacious,' and all the rest of those fine, vigorous adjectives, She may
 twine, but she also supports. She up l holds her oak-poor specimen as he may be-in his weakness; conceals his frail- | ties, and decorates his unattractiveness
 with a wealth of living beauty. She is
 in some respects like. that vine in front
 of one of the old Chapel street houses
 the active partner in the firm; the l transforming power that causes a
 scraggy old ruin of a tree to appear l stately and graceful and glorious in the eyes of all behelders.
 1 Looked at in the light shed by philol- l ogy, there is really good deal of
 sense in that old notion of the oak and vine. HILARY.

 4 BOLD B4ILOONER,

Herr Andree, who proposes to ac- all the other North-Pole seekers have failed to accomplish, doesn't get very enthusiastic support. People are a lit tie reluctant to openly encourage a man to commit suicide. But he keeps talk ing confidently, and what he says is plausible to those who don't know enough about the situation to dispute him, and nobody has yet appeared who seems to know more about it than he does. The conditions he thinks neces- sary to success are, first, that the bal loon shall have buoyant power equal to the weight of three persons with their equipments and supplies for four months, together with ballast, and that it shall be able to keep afioat for thirty days. It must possess a. certain capa- bility of being steered and it's imitation must take place somewhere in the Arc tic regions, the nearer to its proposed destination the better. In the present state of balloon construction and man. agement he says that all of these condi- tions can be fulfilled. As to the inf1a- ton of the balloon in the Arctic re- gions, no serious difficulties need be ap- prehended. The start would be made at the Norskoarm Islands, near the northwest part of Spitzbergen, some time in July, 1896, on clear day with a brisk southern wind, which is prevalent in that region at this time of the year. The distance from that point to the Pole is not great being less than a thousand miles, and a single favoring gale might wait him thither. The long polar day would favor him; he would have no darkness to encounter and could make observations and take pho
 tographs without intermission. He says that there are no electric outbreaks in the polar regions and no gales along

WJYNEIpOLIS PLAN.

It is believed that one-fifth of the mor- tality of infants in this country Is due to the use of milk containing tuberoular germs, and many older people are slain by the same cause. Something has been done in several. States, and es- pecially in Massachusetts, to decrease the danger from this source, But the city of Minneapolis has set the example of protecting her own population in- dependently of the State action, and the plan it has adopted is so thorough and comprehensive as to be well worth the attention of all the cities of the country. The ordinance adopted by the city council Ito provide for the in- spection of milk, dairies and dairy herds, and to license and regulate the sale of milk in the city of Minneapolis, !" requires every milk producer and ven- dor to file with the health department an application for registration and to obtain from that body license before being permitted to bring milk into the city or expose it for sale there. On re- ceipt of such an application, inspection of the dairy and cattle, and all sur- roundings, is made without unnecessary delay by the proper officials, under the direction, instruction and control of the health department, and a special examination is conducted with the view
 of discovering the presence or absence of tuberculosis and other contagioua and infectious diseases. Every animal | thus examined is branded or tagged in such way as to afford a permanent record of the examination and it's result. ] It is made the duty of the health com | missioner to satisfy himself that all | cows which are found to be diseased are removed from the herd of the pro- ducer applying for license, and this 1 is only to be issued after the commis- | sioner has become satisfied that the
 applicant is prepared to produce milk
 ''of wholesome, pure and good quality, l and in conformity with the require
 ments of the ordinance" Such a lii
 cense is renewable annually, but may
 be cancelled and revoked at any time
 that it's holder is shown to have vio-
 lated any of the provisions of the ordi-
 nance.
 This is good move. If in addition
 to it the Minneapolis authorities can
 make sure that only pure water is
 added to the pure milk they will well
 protect the milk consumers of their l city.

Silver Vases as Government Tokens.

Hereafter the government will recog-
 nize acts of heroism on the high seas
 in behalf of citizens of the United
 States by the award of handsome silver vases instead of gold watches, com passes, etc., as has been the custom in the past. It has frequently happened that these watches, fine though they are, have been bestowed upon mariners possessing chronometers of & much su- perior quality. The same is true of other navigating apparatus which it has been customary to give in acknowl- edgment of valuable heroic service to American seamen.

Some of Its Facts and Fancies.

 DOLLS AND THE FASHIONS.
 It is perhaps somewhat singular that an old method of employing the doll, generally regarded as a childs toy, has recently come into vogue again.
 A work in which the doll for years bore very important part was that of enlightening the world as to the art of dress. Before the days of fashion plates and magazines, dolls, carefully attired in the very latest styles, were sent out from Paris to the provinces and to neighboring countries as illus trationsI and models of the elegant and the Paris doll the dolls of Nuremberg had gone forth upon the same mission
 In that fascinating book of Alice MorsS Earle's, Customs and Fashions in Ofa New England" we are told that "a very taking way of introducing new styles and shapes to the new land was through the importation by milliners and mantau-makers of dressed dolls, or 'babys' as they were called, that displayed in careful miniature the fashions and follies of the English court And she quotes this notice from "The New England Weekly Jour naP' of July 2, 1733:
 ''To be seen at Mrs. Hannah Teatts Mantau Maker at the Head of Sum- mer Street Boston a Baby drest after the Newest Fashion of Mantues and Night Gowns and everything belonging to a dress. Latilly arrived on Capt White from London, any Ladies that desire to see it may either come or send, she will be ready to wait on em, if they come to the House it is Five Shilling & if she waits on 'em it is Seven Shilling"
 Fancy the sensation this advertise ment must have caused in Boston s fashionable circlel
 These fashion models in miniature ob- tained until after Revolutionary times, Mrs. Earle tells us. Sally McKean wrote to the sister of Dolly Madison, in June, 1796: T went yesterday to see doll which has come from Eng | Idllu LII tSSSu u SIlOW lIlt ldSHlOn '-d1lQ she then proceeds to describe the modes thus introduced. This is perhaps the last record of the dolls usefulness in this respect.
 Now, after nearly a hundred years, the doll is again set to work to intro- duce. new designs in dress. This time, however, it is the paper doll that is made the vehicle of pomps and vanities. And, by the way, when and by whom was the paper doll invented, that de- light of young girlhood, and powerful rival of all other creations of the doll kind? Several leading journals have of late bestowed upon their purchas- l CTS, first, a paper doll in becoming un- | dergarments, and afterward, from week to week, a new gown to be cut out and | tried upon the same. Snugly folded away in the paper one finds a walk | ing dress, a brides dress, a tennis cos | tune, a yachting costume, a house gown, etc, each one, save such as are intended for indoor wear, being | accompanied by an appropriate hat You cut out the dress and secure it to the doll by folding the tabs behind its back; then you cut a slit in the hat, slip it on the head, and behold you

Two Gowns for the Transition Period
 The glare of bright colors side by side is now tahooed, and in their place comes fashionable favor for soft blend ings of more subdued tints. There may be a lot of colors, nevertheless, in one costume, as is shown by the follow ing description of a new dress that may be taken as an example of correctness in color standards, a skirt of heavy taf- feta of greenish ground thickly strewn with tight scarlet rosebuds and pin pricked all over with lavender, is strip ed closely with pale yellow, dull green and gary.
