OF course the English people wouldn't
believe it, and it may be a little difficult
for the American public to digest the
fact. We have so long accepted our
selves according to the foreign esti-
mates that it is hard to realize how
such estimates, made and stamped on
the European mind fifteen or twenty
years ago, should have very little appli-
cation to the present.
The truth is, however, that the ma
jority of young American girl art stu
dents do not live the gay bachelor life
pictorially presented in our sensational
yellow journals. They do not go I'M

by the way, may rightly be said to be

them live at the American Girls club,

friend to chaperone them. This sounds
as sanctimonious as Parkhurst or

nevertheless: the bold, bad, unlicensed

Gold coast within the past four years,
says the report, there was hardly a
death among the women living out
there, while every kind Of man was dy-
lng-men new to the tropics, men born
in them, men who had been accustomed
to them for years, even men who had
battled with the ravages of West
Africa for upward of ten years. The
attempt to explain this anomaly by the
TACT that men are, as a rule, more ex-
posed to the hot sun of day and the
mlasma Of night, failed in presence of
the fact that the death rate was high

One of the newest forms in which
these sweeping lines appear is in a coat
that combines the newmarket and the
cutaway. The outline OF this garment,
which usually is oyster or other very
light shade, Is exactly that of this skirt

considerable variety of trimming, are
to be had. To the tall, slender woman
they are very becoming if made after
graceful pattern. The sack affair, with
the skirt strapped on to the back about
four inches above the waist line in what
is meant to be a graceful point, should
be avoided. What object was in the de-
signer's mind when he devised such a
garment is hard to guess. However,
there are many beautiful ones, the tight
back and box front, the tight fitting all
around and those with capes and with

cate that the garment has come to stay.
1t certainly is comfortable enough to
deserve continued favor. one of the
prettiest models is the tight back af-

SURPRISING,

We read that the Democratic mem
bers of the North Carolina house of
representatives have decided in caucus
that no member shall be elected to any
office of trust or profit In the gift of the
legislature. This is a surprising move.
The Democrats of that house are in a
large majority and they could distrib
ute among themselves some good
things. They are Democrats and they
do not love the negro, and yet they will
not give themselves offices when they
nave the chance. These are indeed
queer times. If we had read that the
high minded and negro-loving Rerub-
leans of the Connecticut house Of re1,-
resentatives had voted not to take ad-
vantage Ct their opportunities to dis
tribute offices among themselves we
should have thought the action consist
ent But North Carolina Democrats,

The buildings Of London, which had now
neither permanence nor self-respect,
would be changed in character and be
made more worthy of the genius which
built Westminster Hall and the Abbey.
But through all reconstruction he hoped
that the historic associations and land
marks of a city which had an unbroken
record of thousand years would be
preserved, even at the expense of some
regularity. New lines of traffic would
be created, and the heavy traffic would
be diverted to deep electric railways.
With easy and open avenues of commu-
nication, London might become as
bright and gay, as full Of fountains and
flowers and statues, as Paris and Flor
ence.
At the conclusion of the lecture Mr..
Harrison invited questions from the au-
dience, and being asked how he thought
the population of London could be
brought within the smaller limits which
he had contemplated, he replied that the
efficient cause would be economic. He
did not suggest any legislative restric-
tions, but he could not believe that Lon
don would always continue to occupy
the present unique position as the CEN
ter of the financial and commercial
world.
A vote of thanks to Mr. Harrison for
his lecture. proposed by Mr. Passmore
Edwards, brought the proceedings to a
close.-London Times.

minor causes. A new and leading cause
has been found by Professor Lemstrom
to lie in the action of the electricity in

tubes, its juices climb in a similar way,
and serve to enrich the leaves and

NO SCARCITY IN SIGHT,

When Bryan was soaring us one of

the talk that there hadn't been and
couldn't be gold enough to make money
enough. The latest reports indicate
that the worlds gold product in 1898
will turn out to have been $780, 900, 900.
If $50, 900 900 goes for use in the arts there
will remain s24O, 100000 to go into circu-
lation. At this rate the worlds stock
will be doubled in twenty years. But
the rate increases every year. In 1886
the gold product was Sl06,000000; silver
product Coming value), $4,000, 900.
Both together are less than the gold
product of 1898. Last year the United

Africa by 100000, the Klondike by

the British jingoes will not control the
American policy, and as stating his

three akin nations" He is then said
to have added: But Just now certain
influences in England forbid the reali-
zatlon of this desire. I am hopeful,
however. that Germany will eventually
overcome the evil Influences In con-

the American Government is strongly
inclined to live in harmony with Ger
