ISGALLANTRY LANGUISHING?
Observations the Decline of Street Car
Manners In the South.

Manners In the South.
1t cannot be concealed that there is
growing tendency. even in the south,
where masculine gallantry has held out
longest, on the part of men to let wom-
Ell in the street cars shift for themselves.
Ii has not come to that point yet but
the movement is growing in that direc-
tion.
1t is fact that men are rapidly fail
ing in the courtesy which was once uni
formly shown to women, and the rea-
son, to large extent, is that men are
meeting women as competitors in all
fields of labor and this fact vastly
changes the social relations between the
sexes Women are claiming all sorts OF
equality with men, moral, political
and physical, and are declaring more
and more their Independence. The effect
ON the next generation will be very
marked and peculiar The men and wo-
men of the present are affected to an
overpowering extent by the influence OF
old ideas and training, and that is the
reason they talk about street car man.
ners and social ethics i'll their relations
to the sexes, but in the year 1880, or
the period of one generation from the
present time, people will no longer con-
Germ themselves about such matters.
The greater the number of women at
work in proportion to the men the more
stringent the competition, and 1T can
easily be seen that, according to the fig
ures shown, the day might come when
there would be no street car manners,
but every individual would look out
! for himself or herself, as the case may
be- But even should chivalry he extin'
! guished from human manners there
will always remain the Christian grace
of charity, so III the time to come able
bodied young men and women wh'
have seats in the cars will rise to give
their places to old men and women ant
to others who may be sick or disabled

Windsor Castle Treasures.

Those marvellous treasures, the gold
and silver pantries, which lie close TO-
pether in the northeast corner OF Wind
sor castle, at the foot OF the Prince OF
Wales tower, were until recent years
very frequently visited by the queen,
who. with her housewifely love OF de-
tail. never considered it beneath her
dignity to make intimate acquaintance
with the vast quantity of articles III the
precious metals, which have either been
personal gifts to herself or form he
reditary appanage to her state. Even
lately her majesty has visited her pan
tries in her wheel chair, and the present
arrangement of the multitude OF objects
therein has been made entirely with her
personal approval Apart from the IN
terest which necessarily attaches to ar
ticles which are in daily and intimate
use by the queen, the plate at Windsor
castle is acknowledged the finest collec-
ton in the world and is more than
worthy of consideration.
The two SO called pantries-which III
reality are strong rooms of the most ap-
nroved and well arranged kind-are
separated from one another by the plate
cleaning rooms, which are furnished
with all kinds of known appliances fol
the adequate polishing and furnishing
of every kind of rare and delicate gold
smith work. All the royal plate Is car.
ried TO these rooms in rotation ano
cleaned, whether in use or not, and the
system employed for giving 1t out ano
receiving it back forms ample and re
sponsible work for the yeomen OF th'
pantries and their assistants, many o.
whom are veritable giants among men
as the weights that have to be movet
are very often enormous. - Collier

ALL THE OK UTILIZED.
Every Particle Put to Use-Only Its Dying
Breath Lost.


In an article on the Wonders OF the
Worlds Waste" William George Jor-
dan. in The Ladies' Home Journal, de-
tails how science at the present day
utilizes the OK mot many years ago,
he saws, "when an OK was slaughtered
40 per cent of the animal was wasted.
At the present time nothing is lost but
it's dying breath AS but one-third Of
the weight of the animal consists OF
products that can be eaten, the question
of utilizing the waste is serious one.
The blood is used in refining sugar and
in sizing paper or manufactured into
doorknobs and buttons. The hide goes
to the tanner; horns and hoofs are trans
formed into combs and buttons; thigh
bones, worth $50 per ton. are cut into
handles for clothesbrushes; fore leg
bones sell for $50 per ton for collar but
tons, parasol handles and jewelry; the
water in which bones are boiled Is re-
duced to glue; the dust from saving
the bones is food for cattle and poultry;
the smallest bones are made into bone
black. Each foot yields quarter OF a
pint of neatsfoot oil; the tail goes to the
"soup" while the brush Of hair at the
end of the tail is sold to the mattress
maker. The choicer parts OF the fat
make the basis of butterine; the intes-
tines are used for sausage castings or
bought by gold beaters The undigested
food in the stomach, which formerly
cost the packers of Chicago $50, 900

THE NEW WOMAN.
Does Womanliness Inhere In Clothes, In
Occupation, or What?

A newspaper picked up lately tells
the story of very competent and sue
cessful woman electrician. She under
stands every detail Of electric lighting,
even to making much of the apparatus.
She can figure on the cost OF contract
for electrical lighting or for plumbing
and gas fitting to any extent. She is
also an expert craftsman III the me-
chanical line. The writer Of the story
remarks patronizingly that she is SO
we'll up in mathematics that she solves
problems "few men would undertake. "
Again. when it comes to executing a
rush contract she can put it through as
fast "as any man in her line. Again
it is man, always man. 1t woman
can dc, anything as well as man could
do it, she is patted on the back and pat
ronized or regarded as freak, as the
case may be. BY the way, If a woman
plumber cannot do any better work
than the man plumber can, then heaven
help her AS usual, however, the biog-
rapher of the woman electrician pro-
ceeds to descant on her eminently wom-
anly character. AS usual, we are told
that in spite of her "masculine" occu-
patton she is not the least bit mannish.
Oh, mol She is good housekeeper-she
| is really-likes to sew and makes her
| own frocks. The common herd cannot
seem to get out of their heads that there
| is actually sex in occupations, in cloth
| ing-yes, in manners and morals too.
The biographer of the woman electrician
does not understand the truth that the
sex is in the woman herself, not in her
work or in her clothes. Let us see how
it works the other way. Take, for in
stance, Mr.. Redfern or M. Worth or
any of the fashionable man milliners
and dressmakers. Let us write their
story. Let us tell how this one comes
in himself and pinches in the waist OF
a woman with his own big,' broad hands
or how that one sits in his private room
and trims bonnets beautifully. know
personally men who do both these
things. Let us tell how successful they
are in their work. Then let us add: But
in spite Of their feminine occupations
these men are not bit womanish. They
neither wear wells nor skirts, nor dc
they refuse to vote. They do not scream
and faint at the sight of mouse nor dc
they sit upon the floor when they but.
ton their shoes. How would that soundl

VISITING COSTUMES.

is no limit set upon the material to use,
for one finds simple wool delaine, chal
lis yelling and cashmere as often as the
silks and velvets. Velvet and plush,
brocade and figured silks, all have their
times and seasons, but for ordinary oc-
casions the softer and lighter stuffs are
in better taste. The pompadour silks,
the figured taffetas and the light bro
cades and soft pongees are all lovely
when daintily made with their natural
accessories, lace and ribbons. One great
showing was made today of tea gowns
alone. There was something to suit
every ones taste. A pretty faint blue
nuns yelling had full fiounce all
around the bottom of ivory colored
lierre lace. This fell over shirred
ruffle Of liberty silk of the same shade
as the yelling. The front opened over a
plating of pale pink silk, with cas-
cades of lace down each side. The col
lar was mass of lace with pale pink
and pale blue bow placed one on each
side. The sleeves were what was once
called "angel. They were short on
the front of the arm, reaching but little
below the elbow, while in the back they
hung nearly to the bottom of the skirt.
They were bordered by full ruffie OF B
| inch lierre lace. This whole, simple
| little tea gown reminded one OF the
| olden times. There was, of course, the
regulation vatican plait in the back.
Another was of striped pompadour
silk in the pale pinks blues, creams and
| green's which belong to those partlcu-
| lar silks. The form was the same, a
vatican back, with princess side forms
and loose front hanging from the neck.
| The front of this was of ivory colored
silk fish net over pink taffetas and thick
ly embroidered with pink wax pearls
in very small sizes. Across the foot was
a ruffle of ivory lierre put on so full
that it fairly stuck out straight. The
| neck was finished in much the same
way The sleeves had little puffs at the
top of the pompadour and bishop sleeves
! of taffeta and fish net. There was a
thick rope of wax pearls, with fancy
tassels at the ends passed around the
waist, but under the watteau. The
daintiest and most delicate of all the
lot to my taste was one of cream col
ored silk in pattern where there was
satiny stripe with fulled stripe
something like seersucker in appear
ance. This had full vest in BLOUSE
form of sulphur colored crepe lisse ovel
pale pink taffeta. Around the bottom
was 6 inch lace hounce. The neck wa
finished with an enormous ruff OF crep'
lisse tied with pink bow. The sleeves
had moderately sized puff to the elbow
and were of the pink covered with TIN
crepe lisse. There were rutfies of lac
1S inches deep at the back graduates
to inches in front. This gave won
derful lightness and grace to the whole
