Linen collars, always smart and
jaunty, are appropriate with shirt
waists and cloth costumes, and carry
with them a certain severity and stiff
ness, inseparable from their texture
and their laundering. A girl may al

and so many a woman who is neither
scrawny or sallow. But linen collars
are not quite comfortable always
there are moments when one rebels
against their uncompromising stiffness
and their military precision Of shape
and fit. Besides this, there are collars
and collars, and the woman who prizes
style will not rashly select a collar
simply because it is cheap, or because
it is like one her neighbor has adopted.

is not at all bad idea to ask his ad-

adopts. A man is not Indifferent to

often couched in somewhat offhand
terms, it is usually worth following,
and his suggestions should at least be

her shoulder must not muffle herself up
till she seems to have no neck to

where the dress ends.

are sold, however, some meerschaums
that are modelled more on clay pipe

of the pipes more commonly sold. But
while the American and the English

Frenchman who smokes a meer-

as also does the Italian. The plain
meerschaum pipe made for the French

stantially like clay pipe; with bowl
of the same general shape, though of
finer lines, and with the same long,

FOR AWNINGS.
Stripes Are Now Made in Very Great
yarfety-A New Stripe Due
to the War.

An awning stripe new this year, and
one due TO the war between the United
States and Spain, is made in stripes of
New styles of awning stripes are
brought out every year, and the variety
from which a choice may be made is
very great. One extensive dealer has
25O different styles of awning stripes,
20 which additions are constantly be-
ing made. There are fashions and fan
cies in awning stripes as in pretty much
everything else. The RED, white and
blue awning stripes above referred to
are made in a sateen-finished drill, as
are also some other designs; but by
far the greater proportion of stripes
and other awning material used are
now in cotton duck.
Awning stripes are in the north now
very extensively used instead of plain
awning materials. When white avn
ings are used it is likely to be where
signs are to be painted on them. Many
of the stripes are handsome and taste
ful, and some of them are beautiful and
striking. The awnings used in these
days may easily add materially to the
picturesqueness of a building or of a
street.
Awning stripes cost more than plain
material, but the simpler stripes only a
very little more. The added cost in
creases, but still in the case of many
stripes not greatly, with the amount
of color used. There are stripes in
which high colors are freely used, such
as brilliant reds and yellows, that cost
rial would cost plain.
The awning stripes most commonly
used are of blue and white, and next 10
them in demand are stripes of tan and
white. In recent years awning stripes
in green and white have come to be very
popular. Awning stripes are made in
many combinations of colors as well as
in many variations of the stripes them
selves.
In the south white awnings were for
merly used almost exclusively, the
stripes fading in the sun; and white
awnings are still more commonly used
than any other in that part of the coun-
try; but for some years the south has
been buying more and more awning
ssgipcs. Awning stripes are commonly
used in the west, as they are in the
north
The present widespread common use
Of folding awnings in the United States
has practically come about since the
civil war.-N. Y. Sun.

MASSACHUSETTS SECOND CITY
The Long Existing Rivalry for the
Honor Finally settled in Favor
of Worcester.

Under the subdivision made by the
United States census officials there are
four classes of cities in the United
States. The cities of the first class are
those having more than 400 900 popula-
tion, the cities of the second class those
having between 100000 and 400, 900, the
cities of the third class those having
between $4,000 and 100000 inhabitants,
and the cities of the fourth class those
having fewer than $4,000 inhabitants.
Massachusetts is one of the few states
which had under the last census no
second-class cities. Its chief city, as
well as its capital, port of entry and
literary headquarters, is the city of
Boston. Following Boston there is
break, sort of urban vacuum, and then
appear some cities of the third class,
grouped so closely together as to be
rivals for the distinction of second
place. By the census of 1890 these cities
were Worcester, with $4,000 population;
Lowell. with 77.000; Fall River, with
74.GOO, and Cambridge, with 10000.
Among he fourth-class cities of Massa-
chusetts by the same census were
Lawrence, New Bedford. Springfield,
Somerville, Holyoke, Salem, Chelsea.
Haverhill, Brockton and Taunton.
Sirce the taking of the last federal
census the growth in population of Mas
sachusetts cities has been very unequal.
Into some there has been large emf
grafton; il others there has been a con-
siderable reduction in population
through the prostration of manufactur-
ing interests in the Bay state. The
population of Massachusetts, cities has,
to a considerable extent, been shifting
of late years through the migratory
ways of the French Canadians. Accord
ing TO the last census there were more
than 5000 French Canadians in Fall
River, rearly 10000 in Lowell, $500 in
Worcester, $500 in Cambridge, 1000 in
lIolyoke, 4,5O0 in Lawrence, 4,100 in
Somerville, 400 in New Bedford and
Zoo in Springfield. Having few of the
ties of association, which are strong
among the native New Englanders,
they move from place TO place as ma
terial interests seem TO dictate, and
thus make difficult accurate computa-
tions of the city population in Massa-
chusetts. The recent state census OF
Massachusetts, has determined the
honor of second place as between Wor-
cester, Fall River and Lowell. 1t shows
that Worcester is the second largest
city in the state. Fall River comes next,
and then Lowell and the other cities fol-
low. The city of Worcester has come
recently into more than usual promi-
nence by reason of the fact that il is
the Massachusetts city which has the
largest proportion of native American
Inhabitants, and its growth is, there
fore. a normal one, not affected by i'm
miCration.-N. Y. Sun.

The doctor told me that it would be
impossible TO induce somnambulism
in an unwilling patient. Women are
much more easily hypnotized than
men because the majority of them
suffer either from hysteria or neu-
rasthenia. In the case of men an ay-

Thomas n. Rocker, who set type for
the first issue of the New York Tribune,
is dead. When he was in his prime the
Tribune was Greeley, just as the Times
was Raymond, just as the Herald was
Bennett, the elder. In those days read
ers looked forward to what Raymond OF
Greeley would say. Personality counted
amazingly. Country subscribers to the
Tribune believed honestly that Greeley
''wrote the Tribune These editors had
hundreds of personal followers who had
never seen them, who swore by them,
who shaped their beliefs and cast their
votes according to editorial advice.
Samuel Bowles, the elder, was another
such editor in this State. Twas what
Sam Bowles said that carried weight or
provoked anger on the tobacco farms of
Hatfield, in the whip factory of Westfeld,
or on the ferry boat at Hockanum. Mr.
Rocker saw many changes, and not the
least were those in the policy and the
methods of the newspaper with which he
was SO long connected. The New York

An Unparalleled Experience.

During this time an experience which
has no parallel in the history OF the
world occurred The English people
especially in Lancashire, were great sui
ferelS from the war Up to that time
Lancashire had generally relied upon the
United States for its raw cotton; con
sequently the blockade which prevented
southern cotton from going to Liverpool
created an industrial depression the like
OF which was never known in England be
fore on since. 1t il known as the ''cot-
ton panic. The people Of Lancashire

to create public sentiment in Lancashire.
by in reality appealing to the influence Of
empty stomachs, in favor OF breaking the
blockade. The people We're toll. of
course, that if the blockade could be
broken their factories would start and
prosperity would again RETURN For
time it seemed as though this might have
some little success. There was a ripple
of response. But about this time came
Lincoln S Emancipation Proclamation, and
from that moment no power Of persua-
sion, not even Angel Gabriel himself,
could have influenced the people Of
Lancashire to lend any conntenanee or
favor to the southern cause From the
moment emancipation Of the slaves was
definitely made the motto of the North,
even starvation had no influence on the
sentiment of the Lancashire workingmen.
With empty stomachs but burning hearts
they marched from town to town, some
times as much as twenty miles, to attend
mass meetings, in some instances of one
hundred and in others as many as five
hundred thousand strong, to protest
against the government interfering in
favor of the South. Indeed, it may be
said that at the darkest hour of the Re-
public the hand Of England was kept back
from aiding the enemy by the persistent
and interchangeable demonstrations and pro
testations OF the workmen of the North
of England. And, it may be remembered,
these very workingmen were at that time
practically undergoing starvation because
OF the war. This fact has never been
sufficiently recognized by the American
people. Mr.. Beecher, when he visited
England, saw it and recognized it and
when the history of that period is fully
written the starving laborers of Lanca-
shire will be credited with doing much to
save the life Of this Republic at its most
critical and darkest hour. In all this. |
