the stogie class. There is one factory in
Pittsburg which gives employment to 300
men and girls the year around in the sole
manufacture of stogies.
The coming textile fiber, according to Tex
tile America, is that of the ramie plant. AL
ready, it appears, manufacturers of hosiery
and fancy goods are using the fiber on a
large scale, and the facilities for washing
such textures have contributed to their in
creasing manufacture for table linen, bed
sheets, etc. The fact is also important that
the different tests made with this and other
vegetable tibers, such as fax, hemp, cotton,
ETC., have been in favor of the ramie. and for
this reason 1t is gradually gaining favor in
another branch, namely, the production of
sailcloth, awnings and coverings for car
riages, on account of its being less sensitive
to atmospheric influences, acids and septics.
Knitted underwear made of ramie-this in
dustry, it may be remarked, being one IN
which the material has been most success
fully introduced-is not only one that has
acquired quite a liking from the public be-
cause of its extreme durability and silky
finish, but also for its estimated hygienic
advantages; these latter are based on the
substance admitting of normal perspiration
without generating or retaining the disa-
greeable heat caused by textures made of
other fbers, while hot water and soap will
also clense it without any exposure to strong
friction.

The result of the agitation was that the

A well known London clergyman tells this
characteristic story of Mr.. Gladstone: AN
other time some of us younger men, growing
overbold, had the impudence to chaff Mr..
Gladstone (rather timidly) about his devo-
tion to Homer. We were all smoking; he
was .humbly abstinent,' as he put it, but he
sat in the midst of the cigars, chatting and
aughing with us. Homer he said; i be-
lieve l could go on at almost any place you
could start me- l was next him. He turned
to me, with his eyes blazing, and said, 'Try!'
! was never so taken aback in all my life; he
had paid me out for my cheek in chatting
him. / had not looked at Homer for twenty
years-and to be put on at a moments
notice! And by Mr.. Gladstone! However, I
pulled myself together, and by good luck re-
membered two lines, which l repeated in
rather faltering tones. 4 know! l know!
Sixth book of the Iliad-somewhere about
the Booth line, or something like that. Then
he shut his eyes as before and poured forth
five or six lines of thunderous Greek verse.
Isn't that it?' he asked. l had to confess
that / had no notion whether that was it
or not. But l looked 1t up when / got home
and that was it."

The king of Servia has just presented to
the British museum a beautifully executed
fac-simile OF an ancient and illuminated man
uscript of the Gospels, said to be the work of
one Gregorius, a noted Servian scribe who
lived In the twelfth century, and whose
decorative borders are among the finest ex-
amples of early Examinations extant. This
particular parchment manuscript has been
in an old monastery in Servia for more than
700 years-probably since it was written by
GregoriuS.
Principal Card of Glasgow university, now
rs years old, who has just resigned his office,
was one of the most polished and eloquent
preachers in Scotland some years ago. When
Mr.. Disraeli was made Lord Rector of the
university, he expressed a desire to hear the
principal preach. and attended a service in
the college chapel where his wish was graft
fled. An unrehearsed effect was produced
The wintry afternoon was dark and dismal,
and the preacher had some difficulty in read
ing his manuscript. The attentive beadle
noticed this difficulty, and quite unconsci-
ously turned on the gas at the very moment
that Principal Card was quoting Goethe's
words, "Oh, for light-more light" Some OF
the audience smiled at the coincidence, but
the muscles Of Mr.. Disraeli's face remained
immovable.

woman who wore a black or blue dress and
shawl and a queerly shaped hat, much like
that of a priest. Each shepherdess had a
spinning spool in her hand and kept this
going as long as we were in sight. At the
stations we saw many Indian men and
women. The men wore bright-colored
shawls, and wide pantaloons slit up as far
as the knee at the back. Every one. of
them had on a knit cap much like a night

and on the top of this a little hat which
seemed to be more for ornament than for
warmth. Nearly all, both men and women.

Few people ever give a thought as to how
many cigars and stogies are consumed in the
United States in a year. The figures for the

Black and white costumes in organdie,
batiste. India muslin and other sheer fab
RIGS, trimmed with frills and insertions
of lace, promise to be very popular during
the summer season.
A simple example of black and white
combination is an orgendie gown with a
charming little corsage made with a
deep-pointed ruffie, back and front alike,
which falls very full from double row
of shirring, and finishes in jabot effect al
the point. This friIl continues over the
sleeves producing a graceful breadth
across the shoulders
The front and back of the corsage are
slightly full at the waist line. The high
collar is draped, and the square yoke of
fulled muslin is framed at the shoulders
by bands of black yleyet ribbon, with
butterfly bows at the ends. An addi-
tional touch Of black is given by the
