INVENTIVE WOMEN.
Some Useful and Commercially Inn
portnnt Devices Discovered by
MembcFs of the Fair sex.

1t is not generally supposed that
many OF the labor-saying inventions OF
the world may he credited to women.
The Chinese Empress Tao. for example,
worked out useful ideas in her busy
brain. She invented the spinning Of
silk, never dreaming Of the immense
industry that would grow from her
creation. 4 luxurious woman OF Asia
discovered the altar Of roses. and this
same woman, Mhearai Nisi. invented
the ingenious haHdicraft, the cashmere
shawl. History is silent as to her end.
The women who are kept from want
by the making Of pillow lace have rea-
son to bless tire name of Barbara t.
mann, of Saxony. Wood engraving was
discovered By the Cunio sisters, two
Italian women, and il was the widow
of Cen Nathaniel Greene who made the
suggestion Of the cotton gin which
was perfected by Eli Whitney. The
grandmother of Clara Louise Kellogg
invented an attachment TO the machin-
cry in looms in mills, and another wom-
ans genius worked out a device for
deadening the noise of railway trains.

NEW coTILLoN FAv0Rs.
SILK Ribbon and Wood Have Taken
the Place of the Grape Paper and
Chiffon of Last Winter.

Cotillon favors for the coming spring
and summer cotillons, says the New
York Herald, have all been arranged by
the experts at home and abroad. Crepe
paper and chiffon OF the last season have
gone out and silk ribbon and wood
have taken their places. Real goIi
sticks, balls. etc, will be a feature OF the
cotillon season.
Spangled satin sashes are another
novelty in the favor field. Those have
the true Partisan touch TO them and are
made Of ribbon Of every conceivable
evening hue. Double-faced satin rib
bon eight to ten inches wide is used
and each sash requires at least two
yards and a half. They are tied, for
the convenience of the maiden who re-
ceives one, in a huge bow. with very
long ends, and the proper thing will
be for the girl to slip them on her arm
while she is dancing.

The Sin of FrcttinE.

There is one sin, which it seems to me
is everywhere and by everybody under
estimated, and quite too much over
looked in valuation of character. 1t
is the sin of fretting. It is common as
air, as speech, SO common that unless
it rises above it's usual monotone, we do
not even observe it. Watch any or
binary coming together of people. and
see how many minutes it will take be-
fore somebody frets; that is, makes
more or less complaining statement of
something or other which probably
everyone in the room, or in the car, OF
on the street, it may be, knew before,
and probably nobody can help. Why
say anything about it.? 1t is cold, it is
hCt, it is wet, it is dry; somebody has
broken a1 appoin tment, ill-cooked a
meal; st"Iidity or bad faith somewhere
has resulted in discomfort. There are
plenty Of things to fret about. tbs sim
ply astonishing how much annoyance
can be found in the course of every
days living, even of the simplest, if
one kee. S sharp eye out on that side
of things. Even Holy Writ says we are
prone to trouble as sparks fly up
ware Steven to the sparks flying up

is Z blue So above; and the less time
they w9ste on the road the sooner they

The habits Of the Atlantic walrus are
quite similar to those of the Pacific
species. but, according to all accounts,
the former il, possessed of a degree of
courage and fighting temper quite un-
known to the other. On land the I'M
happy rca-l9 crse is as helpless as a
snail, az | a4y clodh4opper can blunder
up and plunge 2 spear into his vitals,
or shoot him. But the Esquimau
hunter, who takes a frail skin boat,
harpoen and line, and seeks him in his
native element, is a sportsman who
gives him fair show, and chance to
strike back at his only mortal foe.
To harpoon big walrus and dis
patch him IS no child's play, says St.
Nicholas, particularly when there is a
herd OF sympathizers on hand to watch
the performance, and possibly take
part in it. The hunter has only one
thing to fear, which is that the huge
creatures will attack his boat, and, by
hooking their tusks overits side, either
swamp it or smash it. This has actually
occurred several times in the pursuit of
Inc Atlantic walrus. And it is quite
enough to make any man a trife nerv-
GUS when a dozen tusked leviathans,
weighing from half a ton to ton each,
tull weight, rise out of the vastly deep,
surround his boat at close quarters, and
threaten to climb.aboard. 1t is then
time to pipe all hands on deck to repel
boarders, and turn the Winchesters
loose.

Manila BOmbarded and Surrendered.

WASHINGTON, Aug 15.-The depart
ment of state has just issued the fol-
lowing:
The following dispatch WAS recelv-
ed at the department OF state at ii 10
p. m. August II, from Consul Wild
man, at Hongkong:
"Augusti says Dewey bombarded
Manila Sunday. The city surrender
ed Internationally Anguish was TAX
en- by Germans in launch to the
Kaiserin Augusta, and brought to
Hongkong. ] credit the report"
The information contained in Con-
sui Wildman's brief message aroused
intense interest, but created no sur
prise among those officials who read it.
For two or three days news of the Fall
of Manila has been expected. The
last dispatches received from Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Merritt Indicated
that it was their purpose to force a
surrender of the city us soon rs posi-
bic.
1t is believed that they joined in Il
note to Gen. August IN demanding
the surrender of Manila, threatening
to make a combined sea and land at
tack upon the city unless the demand
was acceded to.
While no information other than
that received in Consul Wildman's
dispatch has been received 10y the de-
partment, it is in Il measure confirmed
by IL brief dispatch tonight from Mad
rid.
II the flight OF Gen. August be true
and its accuracy is not questioned
here-the probabilities are that official
dispatches will be received by the gov
eminent in day or two at he latest.
The flight of Gen. August from
Manila created some amusing com
ments tonight. As one oi the officials
expressed 1t:
CHAD he maintained his position
hard as it waS, until The arrival Of the
news of peace, lie would have been a
hero but he fled. and he will now be
branded as coward"
