The doucat skirt shirTed on fine cords around the waist, the shirring extend ing below the hips, is a popular feature of summer froczs. h .organdie this fashion is particularly adaptable. A pretty summer girl, : who looked as if she had stepped out of a picture at a wedding in the country recently, had an organdie with white ground, pow dered with tiny pink rosebuds, the skirt made in this way and worn over | white taffeta slip. The waist had little fnll- ness gathered or the right shoulder and under the arm, the folds being brought across the breast diagonally and fas- tened with q rufie on the left side, forming q curve around the collarless neck, which wac left little bare, the organdie forming a sort of bolero, which was drawn tightly across the figure and the waist defined by a high draped belt The sleeves were made without being gathered and drawn tightly around the arms, except at the top. where . smart looking puff accentuated the shoulders. With this pretty frock was worn leghcrn hat tilted over on the side by q cluster of pink roses. Roses also formed 2 garnitaTe on top, with loops of black velvet ribbon forming an aigret on one side New fork Tribune.

WAGES IN CHINA.
In Spite of Their Lowness the Celeetials
 Wax Eat.


 Wax Eat.
 How Chinese workman manages to support his family and romain sleek and fat on the wages he receives is an ever lasting mystery to the European and American The Chinese are a people of marvellous economy. They will support family, furnishing food, clothes. shel= ter, from small garden which they call farm, but which ill America would not more than furnish an Amer ican family with early vegetables
 In cities the laboring men receive the merests pittance. In Canton, where Ia borers are better paid than ill other parts of China, skilled workmen live on these wages: Shoemaker, $4 per month; blacksmith. $5 per month; fine ivory carver, $ls per month; tailor, $5 per month; fine embroiderer, &4 per month; designer, $6 per month; silversmith, S9 per month.
 The Chinese are superstitious, and the workmen support, in addition to their temples and pagodas and priests, which receive more in proportion than the churches of Europe and America, idol makers. geomancers. fortune tell CTS, physioguomists, soothsayers, astrol- ogers and interpreters of dreams, who exist by thousands and coin all the mon ey they want. Another thing which makes money fer a certain class Is the Chinese custom of burning great quan- titles of "spirit money,n imitation coins, which are supposed to be legal tender for dead relatives. One city alone employs 100, 1000 people in making this cash for ghosts.
 Peculiar superstitions embarrass the workman. For instance, carpenters and builders have to exercise. great care in selecting ridgepole for house. It must have neither cracks nor knots, and in it a small hole must be made and filled with gold leaf and the whole beam painted red. This insures good luck for the owner of the house.
 The tea trade employs thousands of persons. The laborers receive from S2 to S10 per month. according to their grade of work. Chicago News.

Fislay.

A man who resides on the east side relates an incident which may be true, but it sounds fishy.
 His boy caught large sucker cou- pie of years ago, and since that time he has been experimenting with his finny pet somewhat. The fish has been kept out of the water so much that it gradn- ally became accustomed to it, and ire quently Topped out of the water itself and followed the boy around. Finally the boy placed it in pen and gradual 1y reduced it's bathing periods until it became acclimatized, abandoning en- tirely it's native element. It would fol- low the boy around like dog, and ono day he started over to town across tho swinging Bridge with the pet fish flop ping along after him. But alas for boy ish hopesl ghe fish made q slight mis- cue and Topped overheard into the creek and drowned before the boy could res cue him. --Punxsutawney Spirit

A circle Of them, together with three or fonr girls of l 5 or $ years, was gathered around him..
 A big, hHlking youth about 20 years old arrogated to himself the place of spokesman. lie was evidently the tgz rant, the bully Of the street, a young Bill the Brute, 8ho had not yet ae- quired wife 10 beat and was conse- quently an objeof of great interest to these niissas, whose skirts had not yet grown down to their ankles With his big, harsh voice he silenced every inter ruption of bis tale, saying:
 Shut up therel I'm tellin this yarn. :"
 Of course this aaiuration. which forms 6 part of the ordinary courtesy of the neighborhooa, did not quiet the girls. They chaffed him and the report CT and gigglcd until at last the speaker said to the reporter
