Stuffe That Resemble Summer.

Vevy, October 30.-Just let me jour
ney on to little village here that is
tucked in among vineyards, and
know what to expect.
The whole town will be overrun with
grape cure patients" These are quite
the most interesting and enthusiastic
people | meet-these English and
American invalids, for they are the
most devoted followers of fashion.
The virtues of the cure lie in its great
aid to the digestion and assimilation of
food. There can be no rule for the
quantity of grapes to be taken by these
lnvalids. 1t depends great deal on the
patients temperament and capacity.
The other day in one of my long
tramps l came across an isolated noun
tain lodge of fashionable pretensions,
inhabited by some enthusiastic grape
cure patients" Grapes and coarse
brown bread formed their principal
diet and they ate very sparlngly of
other things. Each in this party aver
aged six pounds of grapes daily. At
some Of the hotels in Switzerland the
grape cure Patterns are largely in the
majority among the guests.
Many Of the patients who come to
Switzerland for tie cure are society
women who have had firing round of
summer gaieties and are obliged to
spend the fall weeks recuperating.
INVALID GOWNS.
They have gowns made for these
autumn visits, and very elegant they
are. They are the very type of invalid
dress, without the disagreeable loose
ness so Objectionable to many women
1t is pathetic to see how they try to
keep summer with them. 1t is the
height Of fashion, one might say, to en-
joy summer until il is fall and fall I'M
til it is spring, leaving winter out alto
gether.
One very attractive dress I saw was
made of white flannel, with a soft fin

lines falling to the belt line. The

THE TURK.

The Turk is again to the fore
with determination to defy the
European powers. 1t is very diff
cult for a man like the Sultan to
understand what the strength of
the powers is. He is hailed every
morning as Lord of Lords, and
since he has had some success
he is not at all doubtful of his
title and begins to think that he is
vertically power, when, as fact,
it is only the mutual jealousy of the
powers which keeps him seated on
his rickety throne.
Apparently, he has gone too far,
and the powers will at last be fore
ed to drive reason into his head
with a club. 1t is the only way to
reason with him. The Turk has
been the curse of Europe ever since
he entered it and it will be happy
day for civilization when Glad
stones bag and baggage policy
shall be carried out. 1t is no mat
ter whose bayonets do it, they will
be conferringa blessing on man
kind. Time and again has the
Turk just scraped through his
difficulties. 1t is to be hoped that
he will not do so this time.

INCOME TAX.

The object of the suit with regard
to the income tax is to find out
whether the bill is SO drawn that it
will hold. A majority of those who
have supplied funds for the suit are
In favor of the tax and Judge Hart
well, one of the counsel represent
ing the corporations in the suit, is
not only in favor of the tax but in
favor of that form of it known as
the progressive income tax.
So far the Star is glad to under
stand. Surprising that the bill for
the tax is found to be i'll drawn, and
that it cannot, under such circum-
stances, be enforced, the commun-
ity is assured that these gentlemen
will support bill of similar char
acter in the next legislature. But
still the question comes up, why
did not these gentlemen pay more
attention to the bill when it was
passing through the House? 1t was
certainly not for lack of discussion
both in and out of the House.
There were long speeches pro and
con, and for some sixty days there
was hardly day went past without
an article upon the subject, or some
lengthy correspondence. 1t was no
juggled piece of legislation.
The Star some months ago sug.
gested the necessity of the large
taxpayers and merchants employ
ing a lawyer to watch bills as they
pass through the legislature. 1t
would save much trouble and the
present case is going to cause much
trouble. The Minister of Finance
depends upon the tax for a large
part of the national income. What
IS going to replace the deficit
should the case go against the Gov
eminent?

be that the friends of annexation
have found that they are sure of the
two-thirds majority of those present
in the House and so have deter
mined to push the matter at once.
1t may be that it is a desire to get
the treaty out of the way at
once, so that annexation may
be brought about by joint resolu-
ton, and whatever doubts there
may be about the two-thirds major
ity in the Senate, there is no doubt
about the actual majority in favor
Of annexation in both Houses.
The feeble squeak of sentimen-
talists, and the roar, even, Of the

peXation will come. 1t may come

For an international luncheon the name
cards might be adorned with a map
sketched with pen and ink, and also by
drawing of the national flower of the coun-
try represented. If one is so fortunate as
to be able to use water colors, the cards
can be made most attractive. Each card
should contain some question which the
one at whose plate 1t is will read and an
swer, or, if unable to answer, will present
to the company for general discussion.
For example, under the map of Venezuela
may be written, when and how did Eng
land first acquire territory hereP" and on
the map of France the question, "Why did
Napoleon antedate the actual time of his
birth?' Questions in regard to the people,
flora or fauna of a country may be pro-
pounded if desired and the clever hostess
will see that the cards are distributed so
that the knowledge and talents of each of
her guests may be shown to the greatest
advantage. The idea can be developed
still further by having foods from the
various countries represented, for instance,
French peas, ""Cuban sugar, ""Spanish
olives" and "Swiss cheese. Ladies'

THE POSTAL CONGRESS.

The Universal Postal Congress
has done some good practical work
which will take effect during the
next six years. The changes which
the congress adopts are always
gradual and therefore are little no.
ticed. Chief among these changes
is the diminution of the tariff on a
graduated scale during the next
six years and the improvements
under which the countries of the
union will pay reciprocally the in
termediate transit rates, The eff
fort to have universal postage
stamp failed through the difficulty
of putting the innovation into prac-
tice on account of the diversity OF
money standards, but for the fu-
ture there are to be uniform coIors.
An improvement has been made
in the matter of postal cards. The
tax will now be merely double for
unpaid cards, that is, four cents in
place of ten cents as formerly.
Another great convenience is that
circulars produced On a machine,
as those which are type written or
mimeographed, in quantities OF
twenty, are to be admitted into the
international mails at the same
rates as printed matter. Samples
of merchandise are allowed up to
the weight of $50 grams, and OBJ
jects of natural history, dried
plants, animals, geological speci-
mems are admitted as samples.
With the Postal Union it is the
motto, work for the good of the
whole] In course of time there
will be uniformity of stamps and
greater weight allowed for samples,
and so forth. But even now there
seems almost no limit 10 what yor
can send by post. For short dis.
tances even perishable articles are
carried through the mails. 1t is q
truly wonderful system.

How Anchovies Arc Caught.

The anchovy is small fish about
three inches long belonging to the her.
ring family. It comes into the Mediter-
ranean from the Atlantic in vast shoals
for spawning, and is caught mostly in
the months Of May, June and July. It
is taken at nighttime. when the small
boats engaged in the fishery put out in
numbers from the Italian shores, fur
nished at the stern with lights. The fish
are attracted by these lights in immense
numbers, and are literally ladled out Of
the water, for by no courtesy can the
operation be called fishing. The best
ground is at Gorgona, a small island off
Leghorn. This fish was in former times
tolerably common of the English coast

HOW INSANE ANIMALS ACT.
Horses. Cats and Dogs That Have Lost
Their wits.

Horses. Cats and Dogs That Have Lost
Their wits.
Insanity in the human subject, it is
supposed by some, has no analogue in
the lower animals. Yet many causes
will lead to the permanent loss Of all
self control. Cattle, driven from the
country through the crowded thorough
fares Of town will, under the influence
Of this sudden change Of condition, work
themselves into state of excitement
and fury which must at least be closely
allied to madness. Horses have been
known to go mad in the midst of the
bewildering scenes of battlefield. At
Balaklava an Arabian horse turned upon
its attendant, who happened to be
drawing water, seized him in its mouth,
threw him to the ground and then kneel-
ing on him attacked him like an infuri-
Ated dog. Before the terror could be
subdued it had bitten CT another sol.
dier's finger and seriously wounded thu
army wet"
Another instance is related of docile
horse which one hot summer suddenly
went mad. Everything that came with
in its reach it seized in its teeth and
shook like terrier would a rat. II
raided the pigsties and threw the in
mates one after the other into the air,
trampling on the bodies as they fell.
Afterward it almost killed its own mas
ter after manning for life the farrie,
who was called in. This, at least, must
have been case of insanity. The cause
of such insanity is often to be found in
congenital malfcrmation of the bones Of
the head. A scientist of authority even
goes SO far as to prove by what appears
to be incontestible evidence that ami
mals-cats, dogs and monkeys-have
been observed to have decisions very
similar to those of insane people.
