FASHION NOTES.
White Gives Way to Gray.


 Last seasons liking for mohair still holds at its full strength, but the white that was so abundant year ago Is less plentiful, gray having succeeded to the place of faVorite. Much can be said in the formers favor, and that its sup porters have the courage of their con- vlctions is proven by the fact that new dresses of white mohair are far from uncommon But there is more dlstinc- tion to the gray because it is newer, and it certainly looks quite as cool and comfortable. The artists contribution here is a sketch of gray mohair rig that had @ plain skirt and jacket bod ice opening in front to show vest of white silk. The latter had a wide pleat in the center, several tucks at one side and pleated frill edged with white silk at the other side. A null tie was placed at the neck. The jacket had turned down collar and revers edged with dark gray silk, the basque was lined with the same, and bias folds of it initiated pockets on either front.

! has adopted special signal called the hurricane signal, consisting of two red flags, with black eenters, displayed one above the other.
 This signal will be displayed at all weather bureau offices and wind signal
 display stations on the Atlantic and
 gulf coasts and the great lakes, and
 also at numerous other points at sea
 and lake ports and along the coasts
 mentioned. No distinctive night signal
 will be used.
 In a number of instances arrange
 ments have been made with steamship and steamboat lines to display this sig
 nal on their vessels. Special efforts
 have been put forth to provide for the
 dissemination of these warnings in sec
 tions beyond the reach of telegraphic communications along the south Atlan-
 tic and gulf coasts and the adjacent is-
 lands, and to this end arrangements
 have been made in many of the most
 exposed and thckly settled of these To-
 calities whereby tugs, pilot boats, rev.
 enue cutters or other steam vessels will
 pass through the waters in the vicinity
 displaying the hurricane signal by day
 and firing rockets by night and blowing
 their whistles to attract attention thereto. Among the districts thus re-
 ferred to may be mentioned Galveston
 bay and vicinity, Mobile bay and vicin- ity, the west Florida coast from Tampa bty south, and the coasts islands and bays of Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia. The flag signals will also be displayed from the Frying l Pan shoals lightship off the North Car 1 olina coast (warning being conveyed thither by tug from Southport, N. @, l the Cross Rip lightship in Nantucket
 sound and the lightships Sandy Hook and Scotland off New York. Among 1 the steamship lines displaying the flag signal may be mentioned the Southern Pacific, Pacific Mail Cromwell, Mum son, Mallory, Plant and Ward lines. Owners and masters of vessels who are willing to cooperate with the bu- reau in this humane service by display 1 ing the signal on their vessels or using them to distribute warnings in given i localities, are requested to communi- cate with the nearest weather bureau officials or this office.
 | The rockets used by the bureau in l this connection will be red meteor rock | cts. which ascend to the height of three
 or four hundred feet and emit a bril- | liant red star which burns to the
 ground or the waters edge.

THE DECLINE OF WALKING.

We found that from several causes the pace was always best at the end of the day. For one thing. the legs do not fall into the proper swing for the first mile or two, and with big task before us, we knew better than to hurry at starting. A strong, steady pace goes furthest in this, as in everything. Then we soon lighted on the fact that at the end of hard day, if there was any doubt about lasting it out, the only chance was to make the going as fast as possible. Two men, walking togeth- CT, may be equally and utterly exhaust ed in body and mind, but if they have got a strong, uniform, mechanical stride, there are miles In them still To stop or falter at such a time Is fatal The legs give way, the knees shake, and a stiffness comes over the body that is shaken off with greater pain each time, until at last it will prove masterful altogether. Thirst pure and simple I found easy to overcome by sheer practice and resolution. In my early days I perspired profusely, and suffered agonisS in my parched throat, drinking at ev%y spring which came in view Soon the tendency to perspira- tion was mitigated, andsJ found the simple determination not to drink put the craving quite out of mind 1 al- ways found 1t best to drink as little as I could with comfort.
 It is of no use shutting one's eyes to the fact that long distance walking is out of fashion and out of favor. l am T i. l. l. th de grace. It is natural to prefer an ex- ercise that will show you eighty miles of country instead of thirty with an equal amount of fatigue But l thlnk and I know, that the cyclist misses 8
 great dead, in addition to having chos- en the less healthful pastime. In the cultivation of sound lungs and broad shoulders the pedestrian has no rival. He gets all the delightful smell or the country, which the cyclist cannot catch whizzing along in a swift atmos- pheric current He gets all the pretty detail of woods and fields and ditches and animal life, of which the wheel man has only a blur, We may leg1ti- mately turn the phrase and say that he cannot see the trees for the wood.
 Then it is obvious that the man on his 1 feet can turn aside and see the corners
 of nature, and, perhaps finest of all, is the subtle, and to me always exquisite,
 pleasure of feeling the proud indepen- dence of having covered the. ground by | ones own unaided locomotion. The
 walking man Is the most self-contained man of all.
 | In large town there are peculiar de- l terrents to systematic walking. Chief ! est is the ring of dull and sometimes dirty suburbs which has to be penetra- ted before the open is reached and ac- | tual pleasure commences. I always
 make a point of starting from outside, l taking train to a suitable point, and
 returning by train, if need be. from an-
 other. Want of company, and I fear
 declining energy, curtail them from the l spans of yore The solitary ramble
 pleasant enough in itself, will not com
 pare with the stimulus of good com
 rade, and you can never get up the
 steam in the same fashion.-The Coun-
 try House.

CANNOT RE TOO FREE.

The bold campaign of the singie-tax- CTS in Delaware has had a setback. Judge Wales of the United States Dis trict court has decided that it was with in the power of the local authorities of Dover to punish single-tsxe for call ing together crowds in the public high ways of that city. Free speech does not imply an unrestricted right to as- sen1ble in the streets of a city which has laws against such gatherings. The men arrested are said to be eminently respectable and include among their number, an importer, a manufacturer, physician, a minister who went from Minnesota to Delaware for the express purpose of taking part in the campaign, merchant, an editor and a farmer. Some are men of wealth. The single taxers insisted on delivering speeches in the streets, for which they were ar rested and given the alternative of paying a fine of $10 or going to jail for thirty days. In defense of "the right of free speech" they refused to pay the fine, conteuding that they had violated no ordinance. Consequently they were lodged in jail. The authorities grant the single-taxers the right to speak in the park, but object to their speaking in the streets, charging that the crowds block the thoroughfares.
 The single-taxers are making their fight in Delaware because it is a small State and because its constitution is such that the single-tax system could be put in operation in the State by sim pie act of the legislature. For over a

The Unification of the Laws.
------ To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CouR1EF

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Saratoga Spring, Aug. IT, 1896.
 The interstate commission for the unifieation of the laws, which has been held in the parlors of the Grand Union, has to-day concluded it's most import ant session. It has had for two days under considerati ton a code of laws on notes and bills prepared at it's direction by J. J. Crawford, Esq, member of the New York bar, and for several years editor of the Bankers Maga- zine. we'll known to the legal pro- fession as an expert in commercial law. This is based on the English act cod flying the law on notes and bills passed some ten years ago. While the law proposed by the commission has mainly followed the British act it has fntro- duced important changes adapting it to the commercial usages of this ooun- try. It has been submitted to many eminent experts both in this country and in England, and was met with their hearty approval Judge Chal- mers, author of the English act, has pronounced it superior to that act. It is sorter and clearer in expression than the British act It is sufficient praise to either to say that it condenses into less than forty pages what was usually contained in three volume text books It is now ready to be presented to the legislatures of the various states. If adopted, it will not only render uniform throughout the country the law of notes, checks and bills of exchange but will put at rest many doubtful questions.
 Among the commissioners present were Hon. Lyman D. Brewster of Con- necticut, who was elected president oi the commission; Judge Stinness of the supreme court of Rhode Island; Judge F. M. Black, ex-judge of the supreme court of Missouri; Prof. Edmund H | Beuritt of the Harvard law school
 Prof Emlin Mclean of the University of Iowa, besides several judges o1 | courts and many leading lawyers.

faithful to his cuisine" and drinks only cold or warm tea. He takes two meals a. day-one at noon and the other at seven o'clock-and between them drinks nothing but tea. He never eats between meals, and his bill of fare rarely varies. Curious to say, he es- chews rice, which is the favorite dish of his compatriots.
 His cooks have a hard time of it. and work from eight o'clock in the morning till eight o'clock In the evening. He is very particular about his food and should the cooking not be up to the mark he will threaten the 'chef" with punishment on returning to China.

IT HUNG CHANCES CUISINE.


 Let me now turn to the cuisine" of the viceroy. It may not be generally known that when he is invited to off, cial banquets, such as that just given in his honor at the Elysee, he dimes without dining. This sounds strange, but it is easily explained. The fact is that he dimes on his own Chinese bill of fare before leaving home, and only pre- tends to dine when he is at the ban quoting table. When Prince Bismarck, after the dinner he gave to him at Friedrichsruh asked him with aston ishment why he had not tasted one of the dishes put before him, he replied: "It is not at my age that one changes ones habits If I dined with you I should be forced to partake of fare which did not like. Hence I prefer to abstain from eating rather than be asked to make a face at everything not to my taste" To which Bismarck re- joined: How do you know that you would not like our good German 'cui- sine, since you have never tried it?" Ii Hung Chang replied: That is true, but would you eat with pleasure the Chinese dish of rats and dogs if I served it up at my table?" Bismarck appeared to be convinced and said nothing more.
 The number of dishes of which the viceroy's menu" is daily composed is said by the "Gaulois" to be at least a score, and comprises meat, poultry, fish, vegetables and dessert. He takes his meals alone, and has small army of cooks. All the personages of his suite, the majority of whom are young, soon became accustomed to French cookery, and devour the good things with an appetite which might be en- vied by the French "gourmets." They drink wine, tea and even beer. Lii Hung Chang, on the contrary, remains

An official report just issued in Vien- na gives some interesting details of the progress made by one branch of west ern civilization in Bosnia and the Her as in all Mohammedan countries, the female. half of the population has strong aversion to treatment by doc tors of the male sex Recognizing this fact, the provincial administration in 1893 appointed two women doctors to act as resident medical practitioners
 paying them an annual allowance of about $750 in all From the accounts given by these women it appears that there has been steady increase in the demand for their services during the last three years. Over a third of their patients were Mohammedans, chiefly women and children, although there were also a few men among the inval- ids. At first the women raised difficult ties on religious grounds to following the instruction of their medical attend ,ants. Such prejudices, however, have been disappearing gradually, and re- gently disposition has been shown to listen even to advice offered in matters of domestic sanitation, about which ex- traordinary jealousy used to be dis played.
