Prisonless Iceland.

In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are SO honest in their
habits that such defenses to property
as locks, bolts and bars are not re-
quired; nor are there any police in
the island. Yet it's history for 1000
years records no more than two thefts.
OF these two cases, one was that of a
native who was detected after stealing
several sheep, tbut as he had done so
to supply his family who were suffering
for want of food, when he had broken
his arm, provisions were furnished to
them and work was found for him when
able to do it, and meanwhile he was
placed under medical care; but the
stigma attached to his crime was con-
sidered sufficient punishment. The
other theft was by German, who stole
II sheep. But as he was in comforta-
BILE circumstances and the robbery was
malicious, the sentence passed upon
him was that he should sell all his
property, restore the value of what he
had stolen and then leave the country
or be executed; and he left at once.

Washington, Oct. 1l.-ln the opinion
of Secretary Long almost $3e. .o0o. 600 will
be necessary to defray the expenses OF
the navy and marine corps during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1899. Having
employed the pruning knife at all points
where it was possible to do so. the Sec
retary has drafted letter to the Sec
retary of the treasury, forwarding the
estimates Of appropriations required by
the two services. The exact total of the
estimates is $31,991, ,727.55. The esti-
mates submitted to congress by former
Secretary of the Navy Herbert for the
present fiscal year amounted to $34, ,215,-
036.1s. The apparent smaliness of Sec
retary Longs total is due to the fact
that that official proposes to make a
special estimate in his annual report for
docks and additional ships.

THE FRENCH PRESIDENT.
He Must Surround Himself wit

He Must Surround Himself with
Grandeur to Please His People.
The French people love show, and
they expect their president to sur
round himself with as much grandeur
as the potentates of other European ma
tions. He is, therefore, pitted against
Emperor William, who, from all sources,
has $5,OOO,OOO year; the czar of Rus
sia, who has treble that amount, and
Emperor Franz Joseph, who has $5,-
100000. The French president must
give a certain number of receptions,
balls and dinner parties, and whenever
q visiting monarch comes to Paris he
must entertain him and his suite with
the same outward dignity and state
that one sovereign shows another.
In theory the president is main
tained by the government. That is, he
is lodged, rent free in the Elysee; he
enjoys the produce of the splendid
kitchen gardens and conservatories at
Versailles and Fontainebleau; he has
the right to shoot and hunt in the state
forests, and these also supply the palace
with wood and charcoal; the palace is
lighted by the state, and a laundry is
maintained irrespective of the presi-
dents income. The state allows him
three horses, but there are never less
than 12 in the stables.
The palace servants are paid by the
state, but they are only equal to car

given from 30 to 40 extra helpers are

It was an instance where action
meant life, as the ten or more acres OF

under immense piles of timber and food
would bear testimony.

water so muddy that beholders said it
looked like stretch of plowed ground.
Acres of timber were discovered, pine,

eRisTLEs FROM ABROAD.

American HOG Not Capable of Fur
nishing the supply Needed Here.
Almost all the bristles used in this
country in the manufacture of brushes
arc imported, and notwithstanding the
increased production of pork in this
country the supply of American bris-
ties is now even smaller than it for
merly was. Hogs ore fattened and
killed young in this country, and with
the constant and widespread improve
ment of the breeds here the hogs have
run less to bristles. Some extensive
packers collect bristles, but the Ameri-
can supply is probably less than one
per cent. of the consumption. The
longest American bristles are about
Az inches in length.
Imported bristles come from various
parts of Russia, but most largely from
Poland and North Germany. Some
finer soft bristles come from France.
The bulk of the supply comes from cold
countries, where the hogs are we'll
protected by thick coats, and many of
the bristles are those of wild hogs. The
hogs shed their coats as many other
animals do, and there are men who
gather the bristles Of wild hogs, know
ing their haunts and where the bristles
are to be found. Other bristles are col
lected in the usual manner when the
hogs are killed. The bristles are SUBJ
jected to various processes of curing
and preparation before they become
commercial bristles and ready for the
market.
Imported bristles range from 3h to
7h inches in length. Various vegetable
fbers are now used extensively in the
manufacture of cheaper brushes, but
for many uses bristles are indispens-
able and their importation continues

DAINTY MORNING GOWNS.

Less the Wrapper and More the Neat
Fitting Dress Than Formerly.
Everybody should bear in mind that
the most essential point in attaining q
weil-dressed appearance is to study con.
sistency and becomingness, as we'll as
the latest modes in cut and fabrics.
The gown for the morning may be OF
the most expensive material, yet if il
be of fabrics designed for evening wear
and made after the style of street OF
reception costume, both time and
money have been thrown away in the
effort to make something suitable to
the time.
The morning house gown, and espe.
cially that of thin, airy, flowing ma
terials, has an irresistible fascinatio
for the esthetic woman. If she is sue.
cess in this neglige dress, she pretty
well understands the art of selecting
in color and style, the gown that best
harmonizes with her surroundings and
her own individuality, and she wears
it with the air of never having consid.
cred the effect at all.
The morning gown affected by the
women of to-day is less the wrapper and
more the dainty dress, in which one
can appear with all propriety outside
the door of her own boudoir. In it she
is appropriately gowned; and while il
is not stiffened with bones, stays and
interlinings, the contour of the figure
is not entirely hidden, as in the days
when the Mother-Hubbard wrapper
went swirling in uneven fullness and
slovehly fold about her feet and waist

of morning callers. The woman who il
carefully and becomingly gowned in
the early morning not only adds great
ly to her appearance, from the point OF
good dressing, but takes on more
youthful appearance, and the effect she
has upon those around her is by far
more pleasing than if she has the look
of having had just time enough tothrow

outdoor garments seems unbearable.
It's very daintiness makes one cool, apd
when the thinnest materials are used
with the laciest of trimmings, the de-
light of the wearer is only equaled by
the pleasing effect the tout ensemble
has upon others. In autumn and win
ter months the house gown, while quite
as dainty, takes on a more substantial
and close-fitting air, suggesting warmth
and coziness. Richer and warmer col
ors are generally used, though many
women cling to the dainty, delicate
tints and pure white all the year round.
