When ] was born is small matter
except to me. 1t was.in England, a lit
tie more than half century ago. But
when think of what has come to pass
in the world since then, am always
newly amazed to recall what the c6ndi-
lions were in those days The first
twelve months of my life were passed
in a stone howell in a great forest, and
my childhood was spent in little viii
lage that nestled under the great chalk
hills of Kent. The Pilgrims road ran
hard by, where in early days thousands
of weary feet had passed toward the
shrine of Thomas a Beckett at Canter-
bury.
When 1 was born, few among the
poor could read. My mother was a fos-
ter-mother, and how proud was I when
one day. was then about seven-she

BRITISH TIES VfsIT THE POPE.

Hear Mass in the Sistine Chapel, Have II
Fine Dinner and High Old Time.
A midshipman in the British Medi-
terranean squadron writes the follow
ing account of the bluejackets Roman
excursion to the London Times;

ing, heavy squat running, and beast
ly day altogether. This place is rather
uninteresting, there being no theater or
anything else of interest in the town.
/ went over an old fortress in the town
which is at present unoccupied. The
admiral made a signal the midshipmen
would be allowed leave from Friday to
Sunday to go to Rome if they wished.
The Italian government had two spec
ial trains from Civita Vecchia and
Rome every day-one in the morning,
the other at night. / went up on Fri
day morning with about fifty officers
and three hundred and fifty men. The
journey takes about two hours and as
they gave US firSt-claSS carriages it
passed very comfortably. / engaged
rooms for myself and friend, who was
coming on by a later train, at the Con-
tinental Hotel-a fine place just outside
the station. 1 then went on tour CT
inspection round the town, and had a
look at some of the principal buildings
and palaces. On Saturday morning We
visited the Vatican and ST Peters.
They shut up the Vatican before we
had seen much, so we spent the rest CT
the morning in st. Peters.
On Sunday the Pope announced that
he would hold high mass and after
| ward hold a reception of the officers
and men of the fleet. OF course, this
was a very exceptional privilege to the
Roman Catholics, as the Pope only cei-
ebrates mass once a year in public, and
| then, of course, it is very difficult to get
| into the church. He also said he did
| not object to nom Roman Catholics at
| tending the service. The service was
| going to be held in the chapel of the
Vatican (the Sistine Chapel. and there

by the handsome dress that the accom-
panying picture presents. 1t was royal
blue foulard striped with gobelin blue
latter hue. Six months ago this would
have been deemed as lacking in char
acter, and q similar weave would have
carried almost antagonistic shades. 1t
amounts to a considerable change, in q
short time, of the standards Of taste,
and to most women is an Improvement
Bands of openwork batiste embroi-
derry trimmed this skirt and furnished
bretelles for the bodice, which was of
white chiffon-crepe over white silk
lining, and made as blouse waist with
tucks at either side edged with ecru
valenciennes lace and with a jabot of
the same in the center. The elbow
sleeves were foulard, with full ruffles of
chiffon as garniture. Linen embroi-
derry can be used on this dress, if de-
sired; 1t has the advantage of being
distinctly fashionable, but to many will
not be so suitable as the batiste.
Shirt waists have settled down a bit
and the very loud plaids are no longer
seen. Belts of plain leather are now
being set with jewels. Solid rings of
silver very heavy and big enough to
squeeze over the hand, are again
shown, though no other bracelet is Of
fered. Such a ring when very heavy
sets off the slenderness of a really slen-
der wrist and hand, but adds to the
clumsiness of a thick one. Shoes are
pointed ridiculously. The effect is that
the foot. If all seen, seems much larger
than it really is, while the narrow
point when peeping from under the
dress suggests foot as tiny as you
could WISH FLORETTE.

whether or not the motive of con-
gress in so changing the laws govern
ing distilling as to admit to the still
other fruits than peaches, apples and
grapes, was to increase the product of
the distilleries and thus to swell inter-
nal revenue receipts, it is promised that
that will be the result in California.
Under the new law almost every vari
ETY. of fruit grown in the State can be
converted into brandy, and great in
crease in fruit brandies is predicted.
Hitherto in the event of an extra heavy
crop of apricots or prunes the growers
would dry such as the short season
would permit, the surplus being allow
ed to go to waste. Limited in their
material almost to apples and grapes,
many of the distilleries have been idle
during a portion Of the year. Now,
however, they expect to be in operation
throughout the year, and to increase
the output % to so per cent. Last year
the 119 distilleries in the State produc-
ed over 100000 gallons of fruit brandy.

commission. OF 63S samples of herb
beer examined in 1894 by the Inland

more than three per cent. Parsnip
beer was found to contain over 13 per
