Black lace over colored silk is once
more in vogue, and the organizes and
transparent lawns are sufficient to
tempt the most austere of women to
extravaganza.

Women of wealth who have stores of
costly lace are having priceless shawls

ready made for a small sum.

Begin at the foundation with the
heaviest garments. Do not fold too

User of Intoxicants More Liable Than
Others to BE Overcome by Heat.
Experience in India and other warm
countries has indicated an extreme IA
tality from sunstroke in persons using
alcohol to excess.
The congestion and vase motor par
alysis, common in all inebriates, are
both predisposing and exciting causes
for the coma from the suns rays. The
breaking up of the heat regulating cen
ters of the brain by alcohol leaves the
body powerless to resist the suns rays.
Yet this fact is not very widely recog-
nized, and every summer the record of
such cases becomes more prominent.
DR.. Norton, in the New York Medical
Journal, reports so cases of sunstroke
brought into the Presbyterian hospital
with the following comment:
The use of alcohol seemed to have
a direct unfavorable influence. The
habit was marked in 80 per cent, mod
crate in 46 per cent, denied in ten per
cent, in the remaining 10 per cent. no
history could be obtained. Eight per-

AMERICAN TOURISTS.



zone of the curiosties of American
travel abroad said tourist who has
just returned from his annual spring
jaunt on the continent, lis a mans
anxiety to look at the very things in
Europe that he can see, if he will, at his
own doorsteps at home. For instance,
about every young New Yorker who
passes a few weeks on the continent
goes to all the geological gardens men
toned in the guide books. In Dresden
he may ignore the Bruhl terrace. take
but fleeing glance at the wonderful
art gallery, and hardly wink at the
footprints of the great Napoleon, but he
will cape for a whole afternoon at the
bears and lions, tigers and elephants in
the geological garden, although at home
he never would dream of passing half
the time in the park or circus menag-
erie; in fact, probably would not think
of going to either once year.
He does the same thing in Vienna, in
Paris, in Frankfort and in Berlin. In
each of these towns there are a thou
sand rare sights that he never will see
duplicated in his native land, but he
leaves half of them unobserved to hunt
up more bears, lions and tigers in the
,ocal menageries.
Next to the geological gardens, the
churches seem to have the strongest
hold on the American sightseers. Now,
outside of few masterpieces of cathe-
dral architecture, central European
churches do not appeal to the unframed
eye any more than do many of our fine
American churches. The time used by
the average American youth in eXamin-
ing spires and gaping at vaults, affairs
and chancels is just so much time
wasted, as, to his eye, the whole exhibit
ton is just what he sees any day in
passing st. Pauls or old Trinity, or the
cathedral. Yet he clings to those
churches as he does to the geological
gardens, just because they are mem
toned in the guide books.
Il might add to this list of timewast-
ing practices the American habit of Wis
iting and lingering around all the mon
uments to men, big and small, in Eu-
ropean cities. Men who never turn to
right or left in New York to distinguish
between a statue and a drinking foun-

the most insignificant public statues,

worthy as the Arch of Triumph in Paris,

Funny writers and stage comedians
make the mistake of representing coun-
try people as very loud takers, re-
marked Col. Leonard Ainsworth, of Ar

who are accustomed to the quiet and
solitude of rural life speak in a very
low tone of voice, while those who live
in the constant din and nerve-racking
noises of the city naturally acquire the
habit of talking loudly. The reason for
the difference is plain. When you city

elevate your voices to a high pitch in

of what | say. Inever saw real Indian
