The hOndsomer qualities of silk, or,
to speak moro correctly, the more ex,
pensive qualities, are being made up
for summer outfits. Poult de sole is
Il fashionable material, and comes in
exquisite shades. a maize or corn
color is among the novelties, and
when trimmed with white lace is eX-
ceedingly becoming. 1t used to be
thought that anything approaching
yellow should be exclusively worn by
brunettes, but never was there n
greater mistake, for blondes look
equally well in that color. These
heavy silks used to lie considered suit
able only for evening wear, but we
have now no fixed laws for material
or colorlug for different occasions.
Gray is lovely in poult de sole, and n
robin's-egg blue is the soitest and
most delicate thing Imaginable. Lace,
cmbroideries, moussellne de sole and
chiffon all combine satisfactorily with
these heavy silks, but black lace, uu.
less for older women, should never be
chosen TO trim them, although there
are many gowns thut have been lately
made up that have fine black lace on
the solid colors. White against the
soft shading is usually becoming, and
gray made up with white and touches
OF yellow gives beautifully pictu,

The widows engagement ring, to
be good form, is set with chryso-
lite.
The application of hot flannel cloths
is said to do wonders with those dark
circles that will come under tired
eyes.
Tne fashionable evening slipper is
made to match the gown of the same
material, and the ugly pointed toe is
supplantei by one OF more reasonable
proportions.
There is decided dwindling of the
sleeves on the most correct of Partisan
tailor gowns, but for evening and
dressy afternoon toilets there is full
single puff.
Gorgeous buttons and fancy braids
carry out the scheme of decoration
still further. One of the novelties in
the latter variety is black aud gold
princess braid mixed with platinum
and gold tinsel, and still more novel
is net gallon with leaves OF stamped
leather bordered with colored beads.
Thin grenadines, etamines and can
vas goods in silk and wool made up
over black, white or colored taffeta

dress costumes of the coming season.
Silk-warp etamines in sage greer,
gray, pale brown, or reseda, are much
used for brides trav SLING dresses, and
the most effective costumes are made
up with plain gored skirts and the
bodice portion trimmed with cream
white silk or satin, bordered with rows

Apropos of the discovery in DR..
Jameson's trunk of the secret cipher
used by the Uitlanders, James Payn
says that the only thoroughly unde-
clpherable cipher is also the simplest.
1t consists of two duplicate books
any books; one in the hands of the
transmitter of the cipher and one in
those of the recipient. The first let
ter in the first page is taken for ga, "
the first letter in the second for 80, -
and SO on till the end of the MESSAGE
Is reached; suppose it to consist of
twenty-four words, twenty-four pages
OF the book will thus have been used I:
for the next message the first letter of
the twenty-ffth page will be used for
"a" the first letter in the TWENTY
sixth for 3d." and so on. Even the
possession of one of these books would
not help the would-be decipherer, un-
less he suspects some virtue in it, but
without the book the cipher would re-
main absolutely inscrutablo.

The negotiations now proceeding
between the Cabinets of Hungary and
Austria looking toward n renewal of
the dualstic system OF 1867 are COM
plicated by demand of the Hungar-
ian Government for the establishment
of an artillery corps. The Hungarian
militia, or honvej. which has been
always looked upon as animated by
National sentiments, is still without
any regular corps of artillery; and
consequently the empire is in this line
of armament behind other European
Nations. Russia has 1900 guns
France, 5000; Germany, 300, and
Austria Hungary, only 1770, hardly
more than Italy, which had 1920 guns
before the Abyssinian disasters, dur
ing which she lost many pieces of ar
tillery. The Minister OF War of the
Austrian Empire is now contemplating
the increase of the army from 1885,
900 men to 2,400, 900, through modi-
tications of military service analogous
to those introduced in France and
Germany. That will make necessary
an increase OF artillery, and the Hun
garian honved seems justified in de-
manding the establishment of an ar.
tillery corps, though the Vienna Gov
ernment would prefer not to increase
the strength of the Magyar militia.

Twenty-Five years ago, recalls the
New York Observer, at little inn in
Frankfurt-on. Main, the treaty of peace
was signed between France anil Ger.
many which gave the latter Power the
two fair provinces of Alsace and Lor-
raine, and filled Frenchmen's hearts
with bitterness and hatred which the
lapse of these years has done little to
quench. The long series of patriotic
festivals and anniversaries which be-
gan in Germany last July have now
been brought to a close, and the press
is philosophically occupied in reckon
ing up both sides of the account
what Germany has gained and what
she has lost by that famous treaty.
The milliards of war indemnity have
been spent long ago il costly develop
ments of her huge army, but the pro-
vinces remain, and average German
opinion is firm on this point-Alsaco
and Lorraine must remain an integral
part of the empire. There can be no
longer any doubt about the attitude
of the people in Alsace Lorraine.
While hostilely criticising the German
Government and many details of their
somewhat strenuous administration,
they are gradually accustoming them
selves to be German subjects, and to
take part with undivided heart in their
local affairs. A German official of high
standing the other day assured me that
French as the language of the common
people was rapidly dying cut, and was
only retained by the upper classes,
not, however. from patriotic motives,
but as token of superiority. In the
Social Democratic organs the peace of
Frankfurt is alluded to as the beginn-
ing of tremendous evils which will
sooner or later envelop Europe in a
fearful catastrophe. Vorwarts, the
brilliant Democratic paper of Berlin,
says that the INK of the treaty was
hardly dry before Europe saw the dark
cloud OF n Franco.Russian alliance on
the horizon. 1t was no bigger then
than mans hand, but what is it now
1t means the continuance of the Triple
Alliance and the existence on peace
footing of nearly ten millions OF armed
men in Europe. Had Germany
magnanimously surrendered those
provinces Frenchmen and Germans
would be brothers to-day, and Russia
instead of being the arbiter of Europe,
would be impatent.
