The waist is very odd IN design, made
Of heavy white lace and trimmed with
straps of corded black satin, the bands
of different sizes broader at the bust
than at the neck or waist; the belt, how
ever, made also of the coEded satin, is
quite wide. The vest, stook-coilar, and
large bow at the back of the collar are
made of plain white mousseline de sole.
The sleeves are tight fitting, add strapped
with satin ruches from the shoulder to
the wrist, with epaulettes Of theiifeavy
lace to match the body of the waist,
while at the wrist are ruf1es Of finer
lace.
The hat worn with this costume is of
fine pale yellow straw trimmed with long
ostrich plumes, and directly in front a
rosette of black satin ribbon; under the

SOLE GOWN.

EMBROIDERED MOUSSELINE DE 1
SOLE GOWN.
g Gowns of embroidered mousseline de
sole have been extremely fashionable
this summer, and, as they always are
made up on silk Innings, will be quite
warm enough for autumn wear. These
gowns are too dainty as well as too elabo-
rate for general use, and. are only suit
able to be worn in afternoon and eve
ming. The smart costume shown in our
illustration. taken from Harper's Ba-
Ear, is made of mousseline de sole en-
broidered with chenille POLKA dot. The
skirt in bell shape is trimmed with
scant ruffles of the material. with satin
ruche at either edge; these ruf1es are
close together at the waist, but broaden
out at the foot of the skirt, and go en-
tirely around it at the back; across the
front breadth there are three rows of the
ruching.

And there's strange, unearthly music in the

On the north pole land, the north pole land!

OF its beauty who can tell?

You must see it in the nighttime
Down the dreamwayso of the nighttime.

ESPECIAL 10 THE PnEss.1

Woolwieh, August 26.-During the
thunder tempest that passed over TIL
town Wednesday evening, barn belong
ing to Lincoln Bailey was struck by
lightning and the hay ignited. A crowd
of neighbors with buckets were soon at
the SCENE and rendered heroic service. 1t
was evident that the building and its
twenty tons of hay were doomed.
Another we'll filled barn stood within
six feet, and here the battle was fought.
Lines of men and women with pals were
formed to the wells. When the boards
caught fire they were ripped off. When
the hay began to burn, huge hay knives
the building was saved. and and oonse-
uently the fine dwelling house.
There was sufficient insurance to cover
the value of the barn lost. but the hay
and some utensils would amount TO
several hundred dollars.
Two little boys aged about four and
six years, sons Of W. B. Reed, vera play
ing about an open well which was 20 feet
deep and contained about four feet oil
water. The younger boy dropped pebble
down and while watching the effect, lost
his balance and followed the stone. An
| alarm was sounded but no men were on
hand. Stepping from side to side on the
jagged rocks of the we'll, his aunt Emma
pluckily descended the twenty feet to the
| water, and seized the little fellow whose
| head was above the water. When about
half way up her strength failed. but oS
| the aid of rope lowered by other ladies'
the ascent was successful.
| The accident came near the fatal line,
the scalp being terribly lacerated, but
| Surgeon Fuller dressed his wounds, anu
the toyl seems little worse from his e2
perience.

While a score of Yankee lads
Were keeping watch and ward upon the port.

That could stir their sluggish blood

Hotter grew the day as higher climbed the

Why you couldp't touch gun
But it scorched you in fashion which you

And the stokers roundly swore
Reeking sweat from every pore

We had heard so many times,
Ringing our upon the clear New England air,
Oh! to breathe that dlr again.
On the breezy shores of Maine,
Free from care!
So we watched before the harbor where like
hawks In retreat.
Lay Cervera,s iron feet
Waiting quietly IA readiness for flight;
If they'd shown themselves bit,
We'd have styen half our kit
For the sight.
What was that? smoke? Great Moses! Why

After that we didn't care
A peaeta for the glare,
And the heat
But each man of US was jumping, and the guns
Numbered out;
And the shells few about
Or went crashing through and through the
walls Of stool
And we swore thatnaught was sweeter
Than the smell Of the saltpeter.
In our zeal
Then the black. torpedo rangers whooping
down upon us came.
In storm Of smoke and flame.
And our captain, who Is always most polite,

'Twould have surely made you glad
To have seen how quick we winged those

Soon we had them crippled quite,
Struggling awkwardly for fight
But IN vain. aSss
SO we ieft them wrecked and drifting toward
the gray Cuban shore,
And plunged maday onto score
A record for the Gloucester in the fight;
And soon were pumping shot
Into every vital spot
We could sight.
Twas ascene to be remembered; the Span
iards on the run.
Spouting fire from every gun,
And their tunnels belching clouds OF back
and red;
While our ships upon their tanks
Crushed their lion sides like planks,
AS they fed.
And we drove them, torn and shattered on the
gray Cuban shore;
Left them there amid the roar
OF the breakers and the sea news dismal
wall;
And of this most glorious deed
Shall our sons unborn take heed,
And repeat forever more the stirring tale.
