was disposed of during the day.

defended the sugar trust. whose interests he
argued, were identical with these of the sugar
planter.-The house was not IN session.

have theory that excessive tight
lacing is more common in London than
it would be if blouses were sold in
sizes. However, 1 have not meant to
imply that the time and money Law
ished on the toilet are altogether mis-
applied. There are too many French
milliners and modistes here for that,
and, thanks to them, rich stuffs are
cleverly handled even more often than
they are spoiled. \ few examples:
An evening dress prepared for these
weeks of jubilee functions is of soft
powder blue brocade patterned in a
quaint design of golden yellow. 1t is
cut as a singularly graceful empire
gown with broad belt of gray blue
velvet. The short bodice of yellow bro
cade embroidered with moonlight beads
is cut in a simple square at the neck
and has loose elbow sleeves.
For state ball is dainty dress of
sunplaited white satin with a soft over
dress of white chiffon frilled about the
hem. Some little distance below the
waist are two groups of trimming,
made of silver embroidery set with
diamonds and bordered top and bot
tom with ruches of white chiffon. A
similar trimming is used as bertha on
the bodice. Into the narrow waistband
of black velvet n red rose is tucked,
and at the back there is a very wide
sash of white satin ribbon with broad
ends reaching to the ground.

John Habberton states with the SOL
emnity of firm conviction that mos
quitocs are extremely frightened by
dragon flies and will not come within
yards of them. He says that one or
two dried dragon flies suspended from
fine silk under the roof of an open
porch infested by mosquitoes will scare
all of the little pests away, and they will
not come back while the dragon. flies are
there. This, he says, he has tried with
surprising results. 1t is a well-known
fact that dragon flies are predatory and
voracious insects, and that they sub
sist largely upon gnats. midges and
mosquitoes, and it is but natural that
the mosquito, who is a wise insect,
should regard the Spindle" "darning
needle" or dragon fly as the small bird
regards the hawk.--NewarE Call.

| enough on the walls of the galleries to
dress the windows of the smart shops
of any city but-London.
And yet with all this devotion to the
toilet London is queerly careless and
behind the times. 1t does a bigger
business, for example, in that seductive
article known as the blouse than any
other city on the globe, and yet in the
shops the blouse, like every article of
wear supplied ready-made except the
corset, the glove and the shoe, exists
only in the "stock" size. The cheapest
blouse is supplied at about II pence
ha'penny; the dearest I have happened
to notice cost II guineas, but both
alike aim to fit that abstraction, the
average woman. That the abstraction
has never been incarnated, but remains
an unrealized ideal, is evident from the
fact that in experience blouses take the
attitude of the unintroduced towards
their wearers. Without that ceremony
no cordial relations can be established
in England, and accordingly the blouse
as worn rides up the back and is often
askew otherwise. The refuge of the dis
satisfied is the skirt, which is cut
straight and belted. Not being expect
ed to fit, it has a clear conscience and
is self-respecting garment, but not
exactly beautiful one.
The same laxness in the matter of fit
is noticeable occasionally in beautiful
and costly gowns. The aristocratic folk
who follow the good old English GUS
tom of living in the country have
considerable part of their wardrobe
sent down to them from London, on the
average woman principle, and when
they appear in Mayfair for "the sea-
son" it is to republican observer a
striking lesson on the advantages of
monarchical system to see how the con-
sciousness of noble truth can sustain
women against the misfortune of being
unable to take part in personapy-con-
Quoted dressmaking expeditions.

Some of the Beauties and Peculiarities of Eng

London.-Nowhere are women young
so old, nowhere are women old SO
young; nowhere do women dress SC
well, nowhere do women dress so glar.
ingly ill; nowhere is there so little feel
ing for art, nowhere is there such a
painful yearning after the artistic.
These sentences are warrant for Bed
lam and yet they express the truth to
q stranger trying to understand Lon
don. l have seen Englishwomen punt
ing on the Thames and Englishwomen
at the state balls in honor of the iu-
bilee; Englishwomen at afternoon teas
and Englishwomen at the academy eX-
hibtion and in the new gallery; Eng
hshwomen on Pail Mall, and on the
continent, and have found them al
ways great, incomprehensible. They
make innumerable blunders, they know
none of them. They are happy be-
cause they believe themselves infallible.
They are not sensitive and cannot see
the gulf that yawns between their
sialor hats and their art" gowns that
are Botticelli filtered through Burne-
Jones. They never see themselves as
others see them because they do not
care for any judgment not English.
They are rosy-cheelled, angular, of tired
eyes. They believe themselves "five-
meal, meat-fat" women, while they are
exhausted nervously as any victim of
"Americanetis." They play tennis all
day, dance all night, look used up and
pity the physique of other nations. The
French are fussily anxious as to de-
tails, Americans are frankly initiative,
but the British are supremely them
selves, thoroughly self-satisfied in all
contingencies. Therefore the British,
sailor hats, poke bonnets and all are to
be envied. They can never feel hu-
initiation.
Ihave mentioned poke bonnets. They
are among the most wonderful things
in England. Women who can wear
them and not feel themselves the butts

of ridicule are born to be the mothers
them without understanding why Great
Britain feels herself invincible. There
were several at an art exhibition this
afternoon. They had crowns a foot or
thereabouts in length and they were
shaped like an hour-glass, with one
fare about the face and another quite
clear of the head and some distance
behind. There was one all in white and
one in pink and one in heliotrope silk
and chiffon. The last was worn by a
woman fatigued with living. sallow un-
der her powder and wrinkled. 1t was
trimmed with white feathers that stood
assertiyely erect upon it, and it looked
quite as it ought, l suppose, since no
one joined me in staring at it. It's own
er, in her heliotrope gown and lace
fchu, moved from picture to picture as
composedly as if she felt herself COM
fortably commonplace, which she is,
here. What is the British constitution
good for if Britons of any age or COM
plexion are not to be at liberty to re-
vive coronation" styles?
Women at the preparatory jubilee
functions are very gorgeous when they
have no ''art" leanings. Englishwomen
who take to nothing worse than texture
get on famously. because such consid-
erable numbers of them have money
enough to have textures better than
most other people. 1t takes particu-
larly swell ball in New York TO bring
out anything like the display of mag
nificent evening wraps to be seen six
nights out of the seven at each Of
20 or 30 London theaters. The quail
ity in New York may be equally good,
even better. but the quantity in Lon
don is overwhelming. It is the first
requisite of successful painter in Lon
don to be able to do satin, for, if he is
to live. he must paint gowns. The
spring exhibitions in Paris are all wom-
en- without clothes. The spring exhibit
tions in London are clothes that might
as well be without women. There are

Captain Who Would Not Desert Wound
ed Seaman Rewarded by the Queen.
The queen lately conferred the deco
ration of the Albert medal of the first
class on William John Nutman, late
master of the steamer Aidar. of Liver
pool. The following is an account Of
the services in respect of which the dec
Grafton has been offered At two a. m.
on January 10, while the steamer Stat
fordshire of Liverpool was on a voyage
from Marseilles to Port Said, signals Of
distress were observed to be proceeding
from the steamer Aidar, also of Liver
pool and the Staffordshire immedi-
ately proceeded to her assistance. AS
the Aidar was found to be sinking fast,
three of the Staffordshire's lifeboats
were at once launched, and, with great
difficulty, owing to the darkness and
the heavy sea, succeeded in rescuing
her passengers and crew, 20 in number.
At $3.50 a. m. the only persons left on the
Aidar were Mr.. Norman (the master)
and an injured and helpless fireman
whom he was endeavoripg to save, and
whom he absolutely refused to aban-
don. The steamer was now rapidly set
Ting down, and as it was no longer safe
to remain near her the officer in
charge of the rescuing boat asked Mr..
Nutman for a final answer. He still
persisted in remaining with the injured
man, choosing rather to face almost
certain death than to leave him to his
fate. The men in the boat were obliged
to pull away, and Immediately after
ward, at 6:17 a. m, the Aidar gave one
or two lurches and foundered. After
she disappeared Mr.. Nutman was seen
on the bottom of an upturned boat, still
holding the fireman. Half an hour
elapsed before the rescuing party could
approach, but eventually Mr.. huffman
and the fireman were picked up and
taken on board the Staffordshirc,
where the injured man was with diff
