A ROYAL Wardrobe

The Dauphine was allowed a sum of
100000 livres for her dress alone; but
she never interfered in any way, and
everything was decided, without con-
sulting her, by the dame d'atour, who
ordered what was necessary according
to her own appreciation and settled the
bills of the tradesmen. At the end of
the year she presented incomprehensi-
bic accounts. which the Dauphine was
required to approve, with the result
that her expenses greatly exceeded the
allotted sum. through no fault OF hers.
Mercy was called to the rescue and dis
covered the most absurd extravaganza.
For instance, three ellis of ribbon. to tie
the powdering gown of the Dauphinc,
were put down daily; also several ellis
Of silk daily to cover the basket in
which her gloves and fan were depos-
tied. with many other items OF The
same kind. noted by Mercy in solemn
reprobation. With all this waste. the
arrangements about herwere strangely
deficient in comfort.-Anna L. Bicknell,

We could see the man who carried the

him aloud, and slapped him on the

ALMOST SECOND NATURE.
Cyclists UncOnsciOusIy Follow Rules
of the Road When Walking.


You can tell bicycle rider by his
walk. Not because of a popularity of
gait, but for the reason that he uncon-
sciously follows the rules of the road
that he has learned while riding a BIZ
cycle.
On the sidewalks of the crowded
streets of New York and Brooklyn a
gentleman whose acquaintance among
bicycle riders is quite extensive has,
as a matter of curiosity, watched his
cycling friends walking to and from
business. Almost without exception
they pass to the right when meeting
other pedestrians, and to the left when
passing them from behind. When
turning corner the pedestrian who has
learned to cycle hugs the wall closely
if going to the right, and is almost
sure to make long turn if bound to
the left.
If all pedestrians would observe the
rules of the road on the sidewalks as
well as the experienced cyclists observe
them on the highways there would be
fewer toes trampled upon and fewer
persons nudged in the ribs by protrud-
ing and sharp elbows.
There is nothing more annoying to
the participants and nothing more
laughable to the spectator than to see
two persons dancing up and down and
taking a series of side steps because
both started to pass each other in the
wrong direction.
The bicycle is unconsciously teaching
people how best to keep out of each
others way. Anyone who does not
think the result is sure to be beneficial
ought to attempt to stem a crowd
coming from a +heater or crossing the
bridge at rush hours. There will be
no polish left on the rash individuals
shoes, there will be mud stains on his
garments, ard a feeling OF deep, bit
ter resentment against all mankind in
his bosOm.-N. Y. Journal.

HE WOULDN'T WAIT.
Sampson Grew Tired of Waiting for the
Land Forces to Arrive and Started to
Do Business for Himself.

WASHINGTON, June ct is evident
here that Adm. Sampson shares with
the president the Impotence shown
by the latter at the cabinet meeting
over the movement of the troops. In
the opinion of the naval officials here
this feeling on the part of Adm Samp-
son caused the bOmbaroment at Santi-
ago on Monday. The admiral saw that
there was no use waiting longer for
the troops and allowing the SpaniardS
to strengthen thelrfOrts. He therefore
went ahead and reduced the batteries,
and when the soldiers arrive on Sun
day they will have an easy time, COM
paratively, to land. In his official dis
patch Adm. Sampson does not mention
anything about the landing of troops,
marines or siege guns, but the war de-
partment did not expect the adj
miral to report the work of
these men to the navy. 1t APP
pears from late information that the
Spanish Notifications were siieuced,
but the Notifications where Lieut..
Hobson and his companions are con-
fined were not struck. The navy de-
partment officials are certain the old
cruiser Reina Mercedes was destroyed,

mention of this in his dispatch. None

THE MAN IN THE CAR.

Safe and snug in the sleeping car
Are father and mother and dreaming
child.
The night, outside, shows never a star
For the storm is thick and the wind is
wild.
The frenzied train in it's all-night race
Holds many a soul in it's fragile walls,
While up in his cab with smoked-stalued
face,
Is the man in the greasy overaIls.
Through the fire-box door the heat CLOVIS
white,
The steam is kissing at all the cocks;
The pistons dance and the drive-wheels
smite
The trembling rails till the whole earth
rocks,
But never a searching eye could trace
Though the night is black and the speed
appals-
"A line of fear in the smoke-stained face
OF the man in the greasy overalls.
No hating. wavering coward he,
AS he lashes his engine around the curve,
But a peace-encompassed Grant or Lee,
With a heart of oak and an iron nerve.
And so 1 ask that you make place
In the Temple to Heroes sacred halls
Where 1 may hang the smoke-stained
faced
OF the man in the greasy overalls.

When Baths Wore NoreItIes.

Although in classic times the bath
seems to have been one of the chief
features of life, yet in the medieval days
so had things changed-a lady's toilet,
If not by any means thing of brief
or slight matter, had very little to do
with the bath. When her hair was
pomaded and braided with Jewels and
her headdress, hergowns and gear were
arranged, the thing was done. Nor was
there much bathing done in the days
of rouge and patches. Even less than
100 years ago the habit of frequently
bathing the entire person was called by
good old careful housewives nasty
French fashion. Leisure Hours.

SPANISH ACCOUNT.
The Americans Were Repulsed at Santi-

bardment of Santiago de Cuba by the

This will leave another $4,000 regulars

In answer TO Adm. SIMPSONS
repeated kilograms to hurry the
army to Santiago he has been
advised that the movement is to begin
and to be prepared for it. The navy
department refutes the story that the
bOmDardment of Santiago has left the
feet short of ammunition. The Off
GERS say that the projectile factories
have been working day and night on
ammunition for the past six months
and that there is an abundance on
hand. According to the statement
