NEGLIGEE GOWN.

derwear are made of batiste, nainsook,
linen lawn, daintily trimmed and tuck
ed and hemstitched. The most ethereal
bridal outfits are trimmed with rare
lace.
Nightgowns are made with both the
high and the square neck, with elbow
sleeves, lace ruff1es and ruche gathered
collars and epaulets. Satin ribbon in
blue, pink, yellow or white, 3 or inch
es wide, ties around the waist and forms
rosette bows for the sleeves and either
side of the neck. The latest fancy in
nightgowns is called the Bernhardt. 1t

is made of india lawn or china silk.

Combination garments, with corset
cover and underpetticoat, or chemise
and drawers in one, are much liked by
those who wish to avoid unnecessary
thickness of material around the waist.
The empire chemise is worn over the
corset and answers all the requirements
of chemise and short skirt. The dain-
test corset covers are of fine lawn and
lace insertion in the form of a bolero
jacket, and those which fall below the
waist line are shaped in with tiny tucks
and lace and have no seams except un-
| der the arms.
Negligee gowns were never so pretty
or so fascinating in style as they are
now. They are made of fine cashmere,
thin, soft silk and crepe de chine in all
the light, delicate colors and deliberately
trimmed with lace and ribbon. One of
the seasons models in pink crepe de
chine is made with a skirt with Span
ish f1ounce headed by two rows of mar
row valenciennes insertion, set in above
to form bowknot in front and back,
and trimmed around the edge with a
lace frill. The jacket is one of the loose,
straight styles so fashionable in street
| coats and is laid in plaits below the
yoke and trimmed with the lace inser-
ton, which also stripes the bishop
| sleeves.

years. The mirror, which has a heavy
gilt frame, is placed against back
ground of dark red, and over this, pro-
jecting from the wall, is half canopy
draped with china silk in pattern Of
pink chrysanthemums. Against the
same dark red background, which ends
with the last rim of wood, are set of
open square shelves, five on either side,
which are finished on the inside with a
fri1 of the silk These are filed with
pretty specimens of china, the top one
being decorated with a vase filled with
dried ferns chemically treated SO as to
preserve their color and shape. The
dressing table is of polished mahogany,
with brass decorations.

The Bicycle on the stage,

The bicycle forms a conspicuous part
in all pantomines this year, not only in
London, but in all the provinces This
is sure proof of the increasing popu-
larity of the wheel. It is not just drag
ged in either. The dialogue in places is
extremely ''bicycly," and dancers and
chorus girls figure in costumes distinctly
rational. There is good scope for much
fun in introducing the bicycle into fairy
plays, and stage managers appear to be
making the most of their advantages -

the anxious possessor of the umbrella is
too likely to injure it with overcare, for
she spreads it to it's full extent to dry in
order to keep it free from creases. Now,
as it is kept rolled when not in use, it is
sure to be creased anyway, and if the silk

European Balance OF Power.
The congress met at Berlin in July,
1878. A new balance of power or concert
was agreed upon between the seven
great powers-Great Britain, Germany,
Austria, France, Italy, Russia and Tur-
key 1t consists of 81 articles Rou-
mania, Servia and Montenegro were de-
clared independent, and the new princl-
pality of Bulgaria was formed. and
Abraham, Kars and Batum were as
signed to Russia, and the provinces of
Bosnia and Herzegovina were assigned
to Austria. The crux of the treaty, sc
far as the present state of affairs are
concerned, is contained In article 81,
which provides:
1.-The sublime porte undertakes to
carry out without further delay the Inn
provements and reforms demanded by
local requirements in the provinces in
habited by Armenians and to guarantee
their security against the Circassians
and Kurds 1t will periodically make
known the steps taken to this effect to
the powers, who will superintend their
application. -
The treaty of Berlin, and especially
the article quoted, gives the right and
supplies the means to the powers to re-
| store order in Turkey and to guarantee
security for life, liberty and property.
The signatory powers have the right
under this treaty to take action, and
all that is required is to agree among
themselves to enforce the stipulattons OF
| the treaty of Berlin. Bismarck's reve
| lations, humiliating alike to him by
reason of the spitefulness of his motive
| and discreditable for his country be
cause of her duplicity, disclose under
ground alliances, which doubtless have
| checked the peaceful yet effective actor
ON the part of the nations composing
the European balance of power under
and by virtue of the treaty of Berlin

in 1876. She was the finest pottery
maker, says member of the bureau,
"her sacred and domestic vases being in
almost every museum in the civilized
world. Her fabrics were always counted
the best, and no one in Zuni could use
the needle in designing the Chineselike
embroidery as well as Wewha. Her
house was the largest and finest in the

most superior. No one person knew so

BICYCLE CURVES.
The Feet of the Rider Never Move

backward.
Almost every bicycler believes that as
he rides his wheel his foot swings back
ward with the pedal. He thinks his feet
describe n series of circles, following
the pedals around and that they move
backward and forward just as much as
they move up and down,
This, il has now been found by careful
measurement, is quite mistake From
the time you mount your wheel until
you dismount your feet never move
backward
They are constantly moving forward.
not in circles, but in a series of curves.
The reason for this is that as your foot
swings under the crank shaft the BIZ
cycle moves forward much more rap
idly than the pedal swings back. The
result is constant forward movement.
While your foot moves backward in
relation to your body, yet il moves more
rapidly forward in relation to the
ground. 1t has been found by testing n
bicycle with ordinary gear that the
wheels make 2A revolutions to one rev
olution of the pedals.
Starting your machine when the ped
ais lie in a horizontal line it will be
found that the wheels have made a com
plete revolution before the pedals again
come to a horizontal position, or half.

For every inch shaft the latter moves
forward more than two inches over the
ground.
This will be apparent when you con-
slider the forward movement of the
Pedal above the crank shaft. Your foot
then advances much more rapidly than
any part of the bicycle.
If the bicycle were suspended in the
AIR your foot would move backward
just as much as it moved forward and
upward to just the extent that it moved
downward in describing n series of per-
feet circles, but in relation to the ground
or to any fixed point neither one of
your feet ever moves backward from
the time you start your bicycle until
