There is nothing like an object lesson
% Tx a fact in ones mind. In matters
OF dress we have always two annual OBJ
jecr lessons from which TO learn tho
ways Of fashion Tor tie ensuing six
m~onths-Easter for spring and summer,
and tho Horse Show for fan and winter.
From the horse show we have learned
that yellow in its various tints is TO be
the fashionable evening color. IL would
bo a little far-fetched TO say that the
popularity OF the golden color has any
thing to do with the craze for getting
the yellow metal, but the coincidence
remains, and there is no denying that il
Is all very appropriate. Two shades are
the really correct thing, and those 10
whom the color is not becoming need not
lament this fact. FOR one cannot look
worse in two unDec)mins shades COM
bined han I'M ono by itself. Deep orange
and pale gold look much better 81 fact
than in fancy. They are used IN hats ard
capes for evening wear, and The horsiest
and most swagger swells OF New horks
Horse Show ave been %parlding the COM
DlnatiOn Tor the past wees.
The most gorgeous example appeared
IN a cape which was so made that IL
showed TO best advantage when the
wearer was standing. There were long
stOles of deep orange velvet which hung
nearly TO the bottom OF the brocaded
silk skirt. These stoles were yelled with
fine creamy lace and edged with white
Thlbet. The orange velvet also formed
the broad Medici collar. with q hninb
Of white Thibet, that stood up around the
head and face. The pale gold velvet
formed the capcs that hung down over
each arm. An evening hat to match
this handsome wrap was made OF two
shades Of yellow velvet, with white lace
and aigrettes for trimming.

Norwegian Antiquities.

a few years ago the Norwegian gov
eminent authorized the opening of O
hill at Gokstad. known as ;he Kings
Mound" with "a view OF discovering what
might be buried therein. The mound was
so named from a superstition that ID
contained the remains of some old Morse
king. The real contents. however. were
a Viking ship, the bones of twelve horses.
saddle remnants. and a number Of horse
shoes. The mound In question was 110xlD
feet in height. Judging from The charac-
ter of deposits. scientists place the date
OF deposit between .o and 1900 a. D..

ROBBERY RECALLED,
Stolen Manhattan Bank Securities
Offered for S5O,OOO


NEW YORK. June 3--On Oct. ~, 1878, the
Manhattan Savings institution of this city
was robbed of securities valued Mt $2,747,-
700, and S11 900 in cash. This was the great
est bank robbery in all history. With tho
exception Of a few of the bonds offered for
sale some time ago, none of the securities
have been discovered. 1t was believed that
they had been buried or destroyed. 1t is
known now that they are in existence and
tho thieves are offering them to the bank
for $500 900 and no questions asked" Tho
president OF the bank declares the securities
not now worth that amount as many of them
were negotiable, and duplicates have
been procured. Those who participated in
or were concerned in the robbery wero
Jimmy Hope, John Hope, Patrick Shevelin,
the Waterman OF the bank; VIM. Kelley,
Peter Emerson, alias "Banjo Pete;'' John
Nugent, policeman; Eddie" Gearing, alias
Eddie Goodie; John Tracy and Johnny"
Dobbs. OF these. Jimmy and John Hope are
dead or in prison. Says President Bird
who was paying teller when the robbery was
committed MANY of the securities are
worthless today, since the government came
to our assistance some time ago, and by an
act of Congress authorized the secretary OF
the treasury to reissue duplicates in place
of the stolen United States bonds
There were a number OF other bonds
issued by cities and corporations, however.
Some of these are due soon, and. of course,
we would like to have the original rs 1t

There seems to he no end to the
labor statistician will undergo to
pile up lot of figures. Now comes
patient Frenchman with figures that
assume to tell the distance travelled by
the eye in reading printed matter. He
calculates that !, 200, 600 letters of the
ordinary type used in newspapers,
placed in close juxtaposition, extend
over 1900 metres, somewhat less than
mile. But, according to his reckon
ing, there is not more than 100 yards
of reading matter in the average issue
of u Partisan daily. Within the cover
of the familiar yellow backed novel
will as rule be found double that
amount, and in order to cover the
ground which it represented by all of
NJ. Zolas works the eye would have
to perform journey of more than
thirty miles. An average man, living
for the average period of human life,
may be calculated to get through
about $50 miles of reading before his
task his done.
