PHOTOGRAPH OF CAPE HORN.
First Reproduction or n Famous Place Has
Just Been Made.
From the San Francisco Call.

From the San Frdncisco Call.
Ever since Cape Horns existence has been
known efforts have been made to get a picture
of 1t. Artists have gone down there. and some
have been fortunate enough to secure q few
rough sketches. but an actual reproduction Of
the spot did not exist until a few days ago. This
was when a negative made by Capt. Rivers Of
the ship A. J. Ropes was developed.
The southernmost point Of South America is.
for a piece of barren land. the best known in all
the world. Everybody who can read knows of
Cape Horn. and for some mysterious reason
takes an interest in it. or course the great
writer's of sea stories have done their share 10
make the spot famous. but there seems to be
some reason deeper than all this. Why would
IL not be an easy matter to make a picture OF
Cape Horn There are a dozen reasons outside
of the Photographic ones. and they alone are
enough 10 deter the camera operator from at
tempting il.
In the first place. it is not always possible to
see Cape Horn even though the ship is only a
few miles away. Storms nearly always prevail
at that end OF the world. and the atmosphere is
lively calm there is likely to DO a fog. During
the seasons OF the heavy, dry winds and clear
weather no ship would dare venture within
sight Of the Horn. At other times the light Is
likely to be poor and SO make a picture impos-
sible. And then. when all conditions are favor
able. the chances are there will DO no camera
aboard the ship that happens to be there at the
opportu e time.
PhotoSraphically,. the principal difficulty
would he lack OF light and contrast. Under
Horn would reveal very little. II indeed it gave
so much as an outline. The chances are that
the water in the foreground would show and
the distance appear only as a line Of fog.

Women and the Public Health

Another noteworthy achievement OF
this association was the investigation, in
1885, of district between East Eighty
ninth and East Ninety-third streets,
called Little Italy" where one lady re-
ported eight families living in a single
room, with their eight beds-such as
they were-ranged against the walls.
Three hundred cows, ill-fed and filthy,
were confined in the vicinity, to pro-
vide pure country milk" for the city
In two years this whole neighborhood
was renovated.
Some time ago the association under
took the work Of exposing the shock
ing condition Of stable refuse in the city.
The facts which Mrs. Fender chair
man Of the committee concerned,
brought to light seem almost too revolt
ing to believe possible in al and which
holds that "cleanliness is next to godli-
ness" The women met such fierce op-
position from the stablemep that their
bill was not admitted to the legislature;
but an ordinance secured from the board
Of health marks one step in advance. A
story told by Mayor Strong at the con-
vention of the Ladies' Health Protective
association held last spring amusingly
illustrates some further results Of their
efforts. The mayor saw a man standing
at the door Of livery stable, complain
ing Of the dirty condition of the place.
"If you don't have this cleaned right
away" said the man, "I'll report you to
the Ladies' Health Protective associa-.
tion." "Oh, for Gods sake, don't!" ex-
claimed the stable keeper. Come again
next week and see If 1t isn't clean."-

HOW TO SWEEP

Everything in the way Of furniture
and ornaments which can be removed
should be busted and put in another
room. The heavy furniture should be
covered and the curtain ends pinned up
or put into linen bags Only then should
the broom be used.
Salt scattered before sweeping bright
ems and cleans the carpet beautifully,
but it also absorbs moisture and rusts
the tacks. while SO long as there is any
salt left in the carpet-and it is very diff
ficult to sweep it all up-there will be
moisture collecting.
Marble should be washed with a soft
rag, soap and water and wiped dry.
stains on polished marble made by heat
can be removed by rubbing with kero-
sene or turpentine, but amateurs should
not attempt this, as they are liable to
remove the varnish also. Woodworkers
use alcohol as finisher on varnish, to
take out any oil that may remain. II
the surface Is exposed to heat or sun
light, the oil dries out, and. to remedy
this, more oil must be rubbed in.

the neck so as to close the garment COM
pletely to the throat. Such lapels are
seen on tight-f1tting jackets and also on
those which only partially Mt the figure
The most distinguishing feature of the
coming seasons coats and jackets Is
that they are designed to be worn either
open or closed, and this applies to the
single breasted ones as we'll as double
Quite number also are intended to be
worn open altogether. Extremely high
collars, cut in one with the body Of the
garment, and faced just now with vel
much in vogue.
The basques are made fiat and with
out fullness. Sometimes they are cut up
In tabs behind. and sometimes merely
open at the seams. Or they may be cut
in festoons. but this style is only applic-
able to the more fanciful Jackets The
basques Of blouse vests are shaped in a
semi-circular form and are Joined on at
the waist. They may also be tabled,
and are invariably rather short. The
new models of light Jackets and coats
have basques of moderate length.
Sleeves Of outside wraps chow little
or no alienation. They are made with
several shallow pleats at the top, which
are clustered together on the shoulder
and do not extend to the sides Of the
armhole. Almost all the Jackets have
cuffs Of some kind, either the material
turned back short way. or some form
Of trimming adopted which has the ef-
feet of cuff.
Belts pointed In front now have the
preference, and vests and jackets are
now being made longer waisted in front
than elsewhere. The newest ones are
made of silk gimp or Jet passementerie
forming openwork scrolls, with whale
bone at the back and front to keep
them in shape. These are very dressy
and far more becoming to most figure
than the straight round ones previously
so largely worn.
One of the distinctive features of the
new skirt Is that 1t is cut very long In
front. The feet must be completely
hidden and the front breadth must be
as narrow as possible. Most skirts
made of double-width material will have
one narrow front breadth and widely
gored one al each side, to give the reQui-
site fullness at the back. Plainly made
skirts will be favored, such trimmings
as are used being almost exclusively fiat
ones, and applied either to the lower part
or running up each side Of the frort
breadth. Flounces will only be used for
evening dresses and will not reach much
above the knee.

Another thing which the young woman
with hunting tastes is cultivating for the
coming season is the bicycle. The rea-
son is not far to seek. 1t is in the coun-
try, and only in the country, that the full
fascination and the full convenience of
the wheel becomes apparent. BY far
the prettiest costume for the hunting
girl on her wheel is made of a very fine
box cloth in shade of grey darker than
dust and yet such as will not show much
this destroyer Of the bliss of clean
linen. 1t is beautifully cat with an in
ner pleat, and it is not too Short being
about two and one-half inches from the
ground all around, which experienced
riders find to be quite sufficient.
The coat is cut after the Russian
moujik model. one to whicn, by the way,
wheelwomen are taking very kindly. 1t
is not too loose, it very nearly fits closely,
with just that suggestion of dropping a
little over the belt, back and front, that
is pretty and becoming, but of which any
iay ccrfya iS q
cut basque is very pretty on the ma
chine, giving a desirable look Of length
and slimness to the figure. The coat Is
bordered with about five rows Of silk
stitching, and there are two rather large
oxydized silver buttons al one side. The
belt is silver grey, AMI is fastened with
an oxydized buckle, while there is a
neat little tucked chemisette and high
! band collar of finely tucked white mirolr
moire. A grey felt hat, with white
MORE band and bow with white quilts
at one side, are worn, and grey suede
shoes
The fact is borne in upon US after long
observation that what are known as
