wardrobe Is individual and ilnbued with ones own personality. The mode should be modified into an attribute, not regarded as an abstract standard which all must follow alike To wear an ugly or unbe. coming thing simply because it is the mode is to do foolish thing. The purpose of dress, from the aesthetic point of view, Is to aeeentuate ones good points and con- ceal ones defects, and unless it does this is Is a failure, whether it be according to tho mode CT not.
 For exapsole, blouse jackets are now in style and are often very picturesque and elaborate, but they should never be worn except by slender women, as they increase the apparent size of the figure and cause a plump woman to seem clumsy. On the other hand, tight jackets, with long, close basques, are trying for a slim form, as they make it look longer and narrower.
 The materials which will be employed this winter for evening gowns-dinner, re- ceptIon and ball oostunes-are of the ut- most richness. Satin, broche silk and brocade, enhanced with embroidery of gold, beads and spangles and glaeo and moire velvets, are some of the favored goods Tabliers, panels, boleros and eorse- lets are often covered with embroidery.
 4 novelty in winter coats is the blouse redingote, which is shown in the il1ustra- ton. It is of heavy boucle material and closes at the left side, the bodice being decorated with two large buttons. There Is one reyers ef velvet, and the high rolling collar is lined with velvet The sleeves are close and plain and have velvet revers at the wrists. The belt is of velvet, fastening with Q buckle The garment is lined thgOughout with quilted satin

Irish DueIing Code.

The Irish dueling code has been adopted with certain notifications by drelists both ill England and tho Unit ed States. It was drawn up by the Irish bar at the Clonmel assizes i'll TIT and appears to ai.n at so arranging matters that no Irishman anxious to fight shall be baked by his wish. "The first of fense requires the first apology, al. though the retort may be more offen- sive. :" After one fire the retort may be explained away. But if either par ty," the code hastens to add, would rather fight on, after two shots each the principal who made the retort may explain and then the original offender tender his apology. :" When the lie direct is the first ofTense, the aggressor must either beg pardon in express terms exchange two shots previous to apolo- gy, or three shots followed by ex- plantation, or fire on till a severe hit be scored by one of the parties. ' "No dumb firing, or firing in the air, is admissible ; In slight cases the sec ond hands his principal but one pistol, in gross cases two, holding another case ready charged in reserve.

Contrary Effects of the Absence of One OR
 Friend of Colonel Calliper.
 q knew a man once, said Colonel Cal1iper, "a young man who had ev- erything that heart could wish for who notwithstanding that fact was pretty sane and sensible sort of young man, but who nevertheless did at times in his younger days before he had learn ed the philosophy of life occasionally have periods of depression. In one of these on his way home once from Ea- rope he came to the conclusion that life wasn't worth living, and he made up his mind to end it all right there by jumping overheard. As he looked over tho rail and realized how wet the wa ter was and how much there was of it he knew that he ought not to go out in it without maokintosh
 "Going below, he discovered that he had neglected to bring one. On this oo- casion of all others when he wanted one most he had none. But he couldn't think of encountering the wet inappro- priately clad, and so he deferred jump ing overheard until he could do so in proper form. Next morning, with tine resiliency of youth, he was feeling bet ter, and he arrived in New York buoy ant, hopeful and strong.
 And, curiously enough, while in other respects he remained as punotil- ious as ever about his dress, he never after that wore macintosh, and he went ont in all sorts of weather with out hesitation It was his carelessness in this regard that led finally to his death Out without a mackintosh in 8 heavy rain at the age of or, he caught s cold that settled on his lungs, develop ed into pneumonia and carried him off, and so it may be said of my friend that he owed his long life and his death to the same cause.

CYCLING AND ASTHMA.
A London Physician Says the Former VIII
 Cure the Latter.

tSIEe tlt AAaslC4s
 Dr. Marcel of London recommends bicycle riding as a remedy for asthma. Here is what he says about 1t ill a lett ter to The Medical Record: eff asthma is form of mountain sickness and if that distressing affection of high alti- tudes can be cured by training for the exercise of climbing, why should not asthma also yield to the training of the respiration carried out by practicing the respiratory movements needed to carry the tidal air through the lungs? Of all means of training respiration think cycling is the best. When person first takes cycling exercise, it will be found, especially on going up hill, thas the breath is wanting, the heart beats uneomfortably and the legs tire, but after training these discomforts disap- pear, nothing will be thought of ascend ing hills, the heart has become perfectly comfortable, all breathlessness has dis appeared and the legs will no longer feel any fatigue.
 Cycling exercise, first of all, in- creases the depth of breathing, and that W1lH0ub ldtlBuS, dS Uue respiratory movements are automatic. At the same time it will aceustom the rider instinct ively to take in at each respiration the volume of air required to aerate the blood. Persons who do not care for cy- cling out of doors can take the same kind of exercise at home by means of 0 dummy cycle, consisting of an iron wheel driven by pedals, the resistance of the wheel being so oontrived as to simulate bicycle riding. 4 strap carried partly around the rim of the wheel can be frightened at will by the rider, thus increasing the labor and recalling the effort of riding up hill. My experience of the results of this treatment is unfor- tunately limited to only one person. In this case 1t has proved eminently sue- oessful. This person took to bicycle rid ing three years ago for pleasure and in very great moderation for the first two years. He observed that the attacks of asthma to which he was subject became fewer. The tightness and wheezing which occurred every night have now entirely disappeared :"

IN LONDON'6 5LUMS.
A Rather Rough Experience That Taught
 an Artist Q Lesson.

t4A sAs1 e4 A<SSsS-As
 An artist who is well known i'll q northern city used occasionally to put en his shabbiest clothes and penetrate to the slums ill search of inspiration for his brush. On one of these excursions ho stopped to watch the efforts of rag ged urahin who was dis1lguring the pavement of squalid street with a piece of soft blue stone, and, although the figures which the lad drew were grotesque, the artist was struck with their originality and began to tako an in terest ill their developments.
 That's right, my boy Make your lines clear and never mind the details. Chanpionl What You don t know how to sketch that old mans head? Then give me the chalk. I'll show you.
 The next moment the enthusiastic artist was on his knees, and with the piece of stone had quickly drawn clever picture. Before he could com mence another sketch, however, he felt stunning blow on the head, and q shrill female voice cried:
 "Take yer bloomin hook, ye great, good for nought hulk What q 'ye mean by messin up t'fags at I've just wash ed? 'Tain't no wonder at t kids do it when q senseIess old idiot likeyerself sets lem t'example. Be off, or I'll SCOUT t'paYement wi yer u2ly carcass.
 The artist hurriedly dodged another boot, sprang to lis feet, and, without waiting to argue the matter, sneaked ignominiously of. He vows that he will mind his own business when next he goes stunning. London Telegraph.

 THAT FAMILY CLOSET.
And the Various kinds of Skeletons That
 Abide Therein.

Abide Therein.
 Every family has it's skeleton. We know that, of course, anatomical speci- mems, neatly put together and stored away ill secure cupboard, of which only family members have the key-a skeleton key, probably. Only when the family is alone with no visitors about, does t go to the door cautiously and unlock it and bring the bony occupant forth. The family knows it's own skele- ton, but outsiders are supposed to be in total ignorance of its existence. and if they are wiser than people think them and of course they always are-iU is only 2 point of politeness to pretend to be blind and deaf.
 Of how many kinds are family skele- tons? The Joneses possessed all uncle who died insane. You can't go near the Jones cupboard, or, in other words, even hint at the subject of hereditary insanity i'll their presence, without the skeleton audibly knocking it's bones to- gether and all the Joneses turning pale You can't mention Turkish bonds to the Browns without their jaws suddenly falling; you can think why. And when drink statistics form the cheerful sub ieet of conversation at the Robinsons' table you observe with wonder that all the family grow uncomfortable and writho i'll their chairs. You haven | tho faiptest notion why, but the skeleton has.
 ] met man once at dinner party who YVES perfectly sane upon every point on earth but one, and on that he was the opposite. He could talk abou5 politics, science, art, Shakespeare and the musical glasses, but if by any chance the conversation touched on dueling he went straight off his head then and there.
 Dueling was the skeleton il his cup board, and the reason was one that can rot be enlarged upon here On one day il every year he shut himself up in his house and was not seen by mortal eye. That was the one day when his slzeie ton came out and stalled about.
 Many people have what seems to the general public a harmless enough sIele- ton but 1t is real and ghastly to them selves It is of humble origin. It is sur prising the pains people will take to conceal that their grandfathers were poor, but honest, the lies they will tell (which only proves that the grandpar- ent's qualities have not descended in hodirect line) and the meannesses they will indulge in, in the pitiable effort to hide the fact that two generations ago they kept 8 small greengroeer's shop or wore plush and powder. After all, the longer the line the more certain 1t is to contain ancestors who won their bread hy the sweat of their face.

From Herald, Batesville Ind.

From Herald, BatesviIle Ind.
Mrs William Seib is the wife of a
prominent citizen of Batesville, Indi-
ana. A reporter recently called to in
terview her regarding her serious ill
ness, of which he had heard so much.
Mrs. Seib seemed to be in perfect
health, having no indication of any re-
cent illness. She is nearly fifty years
of age.
4 have been afflicted for twenty-one
years" said she My trouble was
rather a peculiar one, even the doctors
not knowing exactly what it was. 1t
Tesembled dropsy, but I am yet ignor-
ant of the real trouble and cause, but
now since l am we'll I suppose there
is no further reason to worry about
the matter.
my trouble came on gradually at
first, and kept getting worse each year.
The main trouble was the swelling of
my limbs. They would swell up in
great big knots, remain this way
few days, then go down, and the swell
ing would then appear in some other
part of my body When / was in this
condition I was in perfect misery. Or
dinarily, the swelling would be per-
fectly hard. The skin would be pink,
and there would be itching pains like
bee sting, which were almost unen-
durable. Some times the swelling
would be in the neighborhoOd Of my
heart, and this alarmed me very much.
GA year ago last fall l was sick
with the yellow jaundice. / was con-
fined to my bed for some time with
this trouble and suffered intensely,
L was as yellow as an orange.
When I was finally able to be
out l was troubled as bad as
before My blood was all out
of order, and the doctor said it
had become very thin. The doctors
tried many things, but nothing seemed
to benefit me. Mrs. Galtman, a neigh
Dor, advised me to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, as she had been so greatly
benefited by them. I decided to try
the medicine, and did so, with the re-
suit that now, / am thankful to say,
1 am entirely well. l fully believe
now that the swellings of my limbs
came directly from poor blood, induced
by some liver disease. I am satisfied
at any rate that my blood was diseas-
ed, and that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
purified it effectually. I can most
cheerfully recommend these pills in
any such case as mine"

FOR JULY FOURTH
Hawaiian Republic Ami
versary Committee.
Becomes Responsible for $500 of
Fireworks for 1S95-Public
Gathering.

There was an interesting and fruit
full session last evening at Company
B room in the Drill Shed of the 1897
committee on celebration of Hawai-
ian Republic anniversary. Geo. w.
Smith presided.
After some discussion it was moved
that the old committee, against the
coming into being of it's successor, and
to insure a suitable observance on the
Fourth of July this year, assume the
responsibility of ordering $500 worth
of fireworks. There were remarks on
this motion from a member present
and it was carried. An order for some
bombs, etc, to be made to order in
Yokohama, will go forward by the
S. S. Gaelic next week.
Mr.. Hoogs moved that the entire
matter of ordering and selection OF
fireworks under the guarantee of $500
be placed in the hands If Mr.. Ken
nedy, chairman of the fireworks COM
mittee Under protest from Kennedy
this was carried. Mr.. Kennedy ex-
planned that he had done a whole lot
of work this sort and would like
vacation from it. There were at once
volunteers to assist in exploding the
bombs on the evening of the Fourth.
The matter of formal movement
for celebration of the fourth anniver-
sary of the proclamation of the Consti-
tuition of the Republic was now intro
duced. It was the unanimous senti-
ment that there should be carried out
the usual program. Colonel Fisher
moved that the course be the calling
of a general meeting by the chairman
of the committee of last year. This
was carried. It was voted that the
call from Mr.. Smith should be for Sat
urday evening, the 21st inst, and that
the Drill Shed should be used. An
official announcement would be made.
Mr.. Gilman said that he thought the
general meeting to set the ball rolling
for the American part Of Fourth Of
July observance would be called about
the middle of June.
Mr.. Wilder, &C. w, Jr.), Capt. Ca
mara, Capt. Coyne, Capt. Ashley, J. F.
Clay and others spoke of the prospects
soldiers Of the United States en- route
to Manila Colonel Fisher said that
by all means the boys from the home
land should be given a warm welcome.
Mr.. Hoogs suggested that some step
be taken at once. 1t was moved by
Mai Jones that in case advices from
the Coast by the Gaelic indicated that
the troops of the United States were
coming this way public meeting on
ways and means and general arrange
ments and program be called by Chair
man Smith. This carried with ap-
plause.
After adjournment it was talked
that in the event of the soldiers from
America visiting Honolulu they be
given such a tropical feed as the sur
geons would allow and that the town
be illuminated and decorated One
gentleman suggested that the police
here might be called out to round up
stragglers. The response to this was
that more likely some of the Honolulu
men under contract stay in town would
have to rounded up.

1t now turns out that there was no
quorum at the meeting of the Hawai-
ian Tennis Association on Thursday
afternoon, so that the business trans
acted then cannot be held as binding.
According to the Constitution of the
association it is necessary that there
be at least one delegate from the fol-
lowing clubs: P. T. c., B. T. c., V. T. c..
Punahou and Kamehameha. Only the
first three named clubs were represent
ed at the meeting. 1t is easily enough
seen that, although the requisite num-
Der, namely ten, were present, no bust
ness transacted can be considered as
