British Shipmaster Uses His Fog

While the British steamer Bellucia
was n the harbor of Buenos Ayres on
her last voyage to South America Capt.
Nerison taught the people of that city
a lesson which may be of value TO peo-
pie in many sections of this country.
The residents of the city and the other
captains in the estuary of the River
Plata wondered why the English yes
sells fog horn was footed every evening.
The echoes of the harsh braying of the
horn walked up the harbor and caused
a great deal of comment. When the
mystery was solved the horns on other
craft We're blown, too. The explana-
ton was very simple. Capt. Nerison. of
the Bellucia. was unable to smoke his
evening pipe on account of the millions
of South American mosquitoes that
made life on deck after shutdown I'M

that mosquitoes cannot stand the pull,

Sketched here is dress suitable for a guest as wedding or for dinner use It was white taffeta, very freely trim med with white lace insertion. On the skirt at either side of the front breadth were two bands of the insertion, and the bodice was striped with insertion, basque epaulets being edged with the same trimming. Insertion appeared, too, on the sleeves. Belt and collar were white satin ribbon.
 Grenadines and gauges by the yard, all covered with little frills, make dressmakng a, mere pastime, and the fun of it is that no one in the world, except papa who pays the bills, Is to know whether or not each of those lit- tie gauge frills is put on by patient fingers, having previously been hem stitched by hand. The effect is exactly the same A skirt of this ruff1ed gauge needs no making but the gathering at the waist and turning under at the hem, because the friils go the length of the goods, and the width in skirt depth. Isn't that lovely! This ruffled material comes chiefly and in greatest variety in black, but it is also shown in all evening shades and white.

LEGS,

It appears that as the heads in Bos- ton swell the legs in Boston shrink and lose their usefulness and charm. A thoughtful writer in the Time and the Hour who has been sadly gazing upon Boston legs says that 1t Is one of the most alarming symptomso Of the decadence of the race exhibited in the weakness of modern legs to see big men get into cars for a few minutes ride of fine day, as they do every morning at the stations and all along the streets, waiting as many minutes for the machine to drag them to their destination as it would take to walk it; waiting at elevators to take them up one or two stories; shirking every nat ural opportunity to stretch their legs. And he adds: It is impossible to avoid becoming local on this subject of legs. The want of confidence in their legs is the cause of all the woes of Boston. All decency, propriety, harmony of liv- ing, are sacrificed to the proposed ne- cessity of bringing everybody every where, or very near to everywhere, without walking. It is, of course, im- possible to accomplish this result or anything approaching it; but for the sickly, effete Bostonese whose triceps femoris is shrivelling to useless rag, the effort must be made; the sky ob- scured by network of rails, miles of streets of houses destroyed, the thor oughfares turned into tracks, driving and walking rendered impossible. Whatever means we use to make our selves superior to our natural condi- tions enslave and limit us. We are only ourselves, upright, free, in full com mand of our powers, every muscle .ju- diciously exercised standing, walking, running, leaping, climbing. On his legs alone
 Man Is man and master of his fate"
 True indeed. And speaking of legs it is just as impossible to avoid becom- ing local on the subject in New Haven as it Is in Boston. Therefore we point with pride to those glorious ensamples of legs which bear up and carry along our most superb military company, the Governors Foot Guard. If Boston lives a little while longer she will have an opportunity to see those legs. When she does see them she will see what legs ought to be, and the sad observer of the Time and the Hour will sink into even deeper despair than that which now afflicts him about Boston legs.

THE FOOTBALL SCHOOLS.

The football schools are in full blast and the season has opened with much eclat. To. be sure, there have been a
 few little incidents calculated to slight ly dampen the enthusiasm. A student at the Georgia State university was killed in a football game last Saturday, and several members of a Milwaukee school eleven were seriously injured. These incidents have resulted in the prohibition of the game In the Georgia
 university and the Milwaukee school, the managers of those institutions hav- ing lost their sense of proportion and decided that playing football is not the chief end of the young men at school.
 How far off school managers can oc- casionally get Is shown by the attitude and words of President Charles QuarIes of the Milwaukee school board. That man actually says that boys are pre- sumably sent to school for mental training and the teachers are paid to superintend that training. He goes further and says that in his judgment the authorities in charge of a public school have no business to countenance. and so encourage, dangerous sports. If the parents of the boys desire them to play football, they should take full and sole responsibility therefor, and the game should be absolutely discovered from the school. In other words, foot
 ball and similar games form no part of the curriculum of public schools, and are therefore beyond their Jurisdiction.
 And more and worse: It is urged that football and similar athletics constitute a part of education, in that they result in physical development. If this were true, there are other considerations, af- fecting moral aspects, which are urged with apparent truth, and which more than neutralize any benefits reached in this direction. But I cannot ascertain that the best authorities concede that the physical development which man

THE DECTsIyE DAT.

Rain is predicted for to-day in New Yorl2-heavy rain and wet rain. There will also be heavy rain of ballots in the ballot boxes, and most of the pre- dictions concerning that rain are wilder than most of the predictions of the Weather bureau. The predicters agree on one thing, and that is that the num- Der of votes cast will be from 5O0,O00 to 525,000 And the shouters for each of the four parties figure out victory for their folks. The Tammany estimate for Van Wyck is 240,OOO; the Republican for Tracy, 200,OO0 the Jeffersonian for George, 2SO,000 The Citizens leaders are counting upon from 25,OOO to SO'oOo plurality for Low in New York county, and from 10000 to 60000 plurality for him in the greater city. ''They have conducted" says General Anson G. Mo- Cook, "the most thorough, the most perfectly systematic canvass that ever has been known in New York. Out Of SSS election districts they have had the voters examined as to intentions in 56l, and the results, certified and vouched for in every particular, are what they are passing their expectations upon"
 As all can't be elected somebody Is certainly guessing wrong. Who 1t IS will appear by tomorrow morning If they can get the votes counted.
