The Captain, No Doubt. Furnished the
 Slang.
 Certain people become so addicted to the use of slang that they are unable to abandon it, even when 1t seems most inappropriate to the occasion. This story is told of sea captain, who was led by his devotion to nautical slang in- to rather an alarming misstatemeht. A frigate commanded by him was char tered by Queen Charlotte to convey the princess royal to Germany. The cap- tain was minutely instructed by the queen as to the care he should take of his precious charge. When she had landed, he was to return immediately and report to his sovereign. He did so, of course, and was closely ques- toned by her majesty.
 "Well, ma am, yer majesty" replied he, in some confusion, to the opening interrogation, yes, she bore the voy- age very we'll"
 Was there much wind?.
 Wind, naa'am, yer majesty9 Yes, there was capful."
 Was her royal highness at all sea- siclr?a
 ssSeasick!. Oh! yes. in course, a little. As we were going out of dock she sent for me, ma am, yer majesty, into the cabin, and says she to me, says she: Cap tain. I'm afeard it do begin to blow. So, says I: soh!' yer royal highness, it's nothing;' and nothing it was, ma'1m, yer majesty. We'll, when we got past the Nore it had come bit harder, so she sencs for Inl into the cabin again, and says she: Captain, says she, I'm quite sure it do blow now So said it wasn't anything; it didn't blow at all. But when we got into the open sea, the wind did give us 9 bit of a tearer So her royal highness seads for me again into the cabin, and says she to me. says she: Well, captain, shiver my timbers if it don't blow now!' - Household Words.

farmhouse or big, roomy mountain hotel, where there are plenty of trees about the shady piazza hooks, that can enjoy the true comfort of the ham, mock. The watering-place girl can only dream of the luxury and the piazza rocking chair is the nearest ap- proach to the graceful swinging couch, canopled by green waving branches which her sister in the mountains spends the long morning hours in.
 The tactfu1 maiden studies her "type" before she makes up her mind to adopt the hammock as permanent summer background. There are certain styles of girl that look as though made for hammock. In it they are marvels of grace and prettiness, but the stout, comfortable, well-fed young woman who may make fetching picture on bicycle is as much out of place in a hammock as it is possible to imagine.
 The slim waisted, fluffy" girl is the kind that looks well in hammock She becomes a soft, limp mass of lace and ribbon, the moment she adjusts herself to it's meshes, and if an inch or two of her stocking shows beneath the white lace of her skirt it doesn't look at all shocking, but on the contrary chic and appropriate. The Burne-Jones type of girl is therefore the special kind who makes her hammock the piece de resistance in the artillery with which she will wage successful warfare on the heart of the summer man.
 First, she selects her hammock If she is blonde she gets one of cool looking white cording, or in blue and white stripes, with bamboo rods stretched across the head and foot. Then she selects the place where it is to hang, always a corner somewhere out of the general.
 If she is of romantic disposition she finds out some ripping resting place where the tree branches bend across, and she will have her pretty resting place suspended right across the water, climbing into it each time at the risk of a wetting. Here she makes veritable illustration of the verse:
 Summer day: babbling brook,
 Girl in hammock reading bookT''
 The girl with dark eyes and brown hair selects hammock of brilliant red Mexican grass, or some other oriental looking weave. She piles it with silken cushions of the same rich hues; deep crimsons and olive greens and here and there Persian covering that stands out among the others, making an eff feet which delights the soul of any ar tist which may be in the vicinity un-- til he begs for the privilege of sketch ing the haInmock's occupant.
 The fair-haired blue-eyed girl has blue and white cushions and little pill lows for her ears covered with white dotted swiss and trimmed with valen- ciennes lace. I picked up one of these ridiculous little things the other day and learned for the first time that they existed. Just imagine cushion about five inches square stuffed with cotton and suspicion of violet sachst, made specially for to tuck under your ear among the larger pillows.
 The heart-shaped cushion is one of the novelties for my lady's hammock

cigar, purely intellectual, for they are strictly invisible, but l suppose there must be sort of conscious delight in the possession of such frivols as these. They are worn with small, innocent looking, brown suede slipper, which buttons over the instep with three large brown buttons.
 The stocking which shows over the ankle is brown, the same as the shoe, but as it reaches the calf of the leg it lightens by degrees to a golden yell low, turning with sort of a beautiful Italian sunset effect into the palest violet, and then deepening into purple at the top. The garters worn with this are of black elastic, through which runs violet ribbon. The side knot is of the same ribbon, and the buckles are of engraved and oxydized silver, an owl on one sylnbolizing night, and 9 lark on the other for morning These are the most fetching of all her han- mock properties, and it seems pity that they are so unobtrusively worn that they must necessarily remain un- discovered, unless hammock costume of boomers be adopted.

to the effect that he will oficlate, and will admonish his clergy to officiate, at no more monster weddings, as those marriages are termed which bring out a peculiarly crushing agglomeration of the fashionable. The bishop has been expressing himself pretty freely on the subject of the unseemly nature of these affairs, and when man of national reputation visited him the other day to make arrangements for his daugh- ter's coming marriage, the bishop is known to have objected strenuously to certain spectacular features of the oc- casion. This brought about slight disagreement between the two, which required the efforts of more than one to adjust, and the bishop won his point. As there are very many such affairs scheduled for the coming autumn, Bishop Potter's action will seriously modify many plans for the social sea son. The hearts of the youths and maidens most concerned are said to beat warmly on the bishops side. Itis very disagreeable to the average pair oi lovers to be the center of a spectacle on their marriage day, and their hearts, sufficiently wounded by Cupid's arrows as 1t was, were further set bleeding by the inconsiderate holding of them ur to gaping thousands. The bishop will have every wounded heart on his side in his new crusade.

At the corner of Fourth avenue and Smithfeld street lady from Glen wood entered crowded outgoing car, The conductor knew who she was, and that she resided in Glenwood. He sus- peeted that she had made a mistake, and that she thought she was on a Sec ond avenue car, so he crowded up the aisle. and politely inquired:
 "Where are you going, lady?'
 "That's my business" she tartly re- piled.
 The conductor said nothing more, and the car sped along through the dark, crossing the Monongahela, through the covered Tenth street bridge, and rap idly putting space between it and Glen wood.

The girl who is spending the season ht n fashionable hotel Is forced to miss one of the most fascinating pleasures of summer time, namely, the hammock. At the really swell hotels nowadays one rarely sees hammock. for the req son, perhaps, that the hammock is a sure destroyer of lace, chiffon or the fashionable costumes that custom de- mands must be worn all day at the pop ular watering places.

The next annual convention of the federation is to be held in New York, a fact which will give Gompers a decided advantage. Moreover, he has many friends in the eastern unions who are all unit for his reelection, whereas the opposition cannot concentrate on any candidate MT. Gompers is now in England, where he is attracting as much attention as Burns did here when he made his note- worthy visit. He has by no means ceased his official connection with the labor movement, for the convention which defeated him for reelection to the presidency of the federation made him official representative of American labor at the great trades union con gress at Cardiff While he is away, England is represented here by Keir Hardie, whose tour of this country is likely to be very sensational. Hardie proposes to investigate our large cities as centers of industrial misery He deems the crowding of high buildings together the principal cause of the in adequate housing of the poor. In his opinion there should be laws enacted to prevent the aggregation of numerous buildings in one spot. There should be statutes requiring a certain number of dwellings in the immediate vicinity of every great structure In this way the land of cities could be more given up to cheap homes. We will point his moral by views of the incongruous crowding of edifces in our metropolis and elsewhere.
