Fine weather is the reigning
fashion at present, aud in conse-
quence some supeIfine fashions are
every day TO be seen, whichever
way one goes.
The Christmas storm of souve
md souvenir seekers is fully upon
US. Already is the annual con-
gcstion seen and felt and heard.
With our much interrupted transit
facilities (?) and the crowds to con.
tend against. we are not enjoy.
ing that exclusiyeness which
many people-and am one Of
them-so long for and enjoy. But
there are thousands who SIMPLY
gloat over being in crowd, so
they are having their session of de.
light-good luck to them
Thanksgiving came and went,
but brought no snow. Winter is
late in coming this year, but no
one objects. 1t began so soon and
lasted so long last season, that we
can stand a milder time now with
the utmost sortitude.
OF course the fashions are very
fine, though some of them are not
so good to look upon. But beau
tlfnl Christmas presents are in
abundance everywhere. | have
seen many and many IA thing |
would be delighted to make myself
u present Of, to say nothing Of
what | would love to give others.
Among acceptable wedding gifts
are charming sets of bed linen
richly embroidered in flower gar
lands and other fanclful emblems.
Another pretty Offering for a gift
giving occasion is handsome silver
vegetable dish with fir cone for a
handle.
Lovely fur sets for children are
shown by Best & Co., also ideal
robes for the baby's carriage. The
dolls seen at this wonderful Lili-
putlan Bazaar run "a gamut of in
Unite variety, from the fine Pari.
sian lady and gentleman to the
rag baby. which by the way is a
work of high art these days, with
artistically painted face, firm limb
and well-fitting quaint attire.
All evening slippers have high
heels and pointed toes; and the
latest fad III hosiery is ribbed silk
or Isle in blue or black, fecked
with tiny white polka spots.
A dream of festive gown
shown by Lord g. Taylor is of
pink satin, richly embroidered
with skirt of mCusseline de sole.
Big granny muffs are carried by
modish ladies.
Good dressers wear box coats only
for carriage purposes.
Pearls are so cleverly initiated
nowadays that even rich women
invest in them to the exclusion of
the genuine, which are both costly
and perishable.

PROM FAR AWAY JAPAN.
Interesting Letter From an old
kingwOOd Boy Now Travelling
Around the World.

NAGAsAKI, JAPAN, Oct. %, 1899.
My Dear Brown In Manila /
promised to write you letter from
this place. Since coming here, last
Sunday, have been having a
most delightful time; been going
so many places that have had
time only to write few notes. So
] am sure you wlli excuse me if |
don't write You letter for the
paper.
| was mustered out Of the army
October 5th. My stay in Manila
was "a most pleasant and profitable
one. After having been away from
there eight months in Che southern
Islands, where so much unciviliza-
ton exists, TO come into such IA
place Us Manila is now, with all it's
improvements, is Il big jump. As
you will have received my card and
souvenir from Malolos, you know
OF my trip. | enjoyed our trip out
to Sankruaudo and back to Malolos
very much. 1t was very profita-
BILE trip.
We left Manila about 4 o'clock
II. IN. last Sunday week, arriving
here the next Sunday morning.
Our trip was very uneventful one.
We came by Sumatra. on the out
or ocean side. The morning we
pulled III this place was such a
wet, disagreeable one that we could
not enjoy the beautiful scenery all
around. The vessel Immediately
went into "dry dock" AS most of
us never had seen it, we were very
much interested in the operation.
They have n very fine dock here.
Before the vessel had fairly stop
ped, they were pumping the water
and scraping the boat. The Japa-
nese are hustlers.
This is Il very interesting and
instructive place. You can read of
this place all your life, but de-
scriptions will prove shortcoming.
One has to see the place to appre-
ciate fully It's beauties and pictur-
sequences. My crowd went over
city the first two days, then went
to Omura, the garrison town, 80
miles out. This is trip every one
coming here should be sure to take.
You 60 there on the train.
BY the way, it is not such a bad
train. 1t is not so different from
the American trains The cars are
much more simple. The engines
are all American build, the Bald
win and Schenectady. The trip out
and back cost the grand sum of SO
cents, gold. SO you may get some
idea how cheap a person can ride
here. In that distance the road
goes through six tunnels, the long
est of which | should say is three.
quarters of mile long. The
scenery along this road is fine.
The 'Japs" are great farmers, or,
rather, IN America it would be
truck gardeners. Every inch of
ground Is walled up and cultivated
clear to the tops Of the hills The
other days we have been making
trips out into the country to see
some small villages, sc.
We leave here this evening for
Ticn Sin, China, whore We go to
Pekin and the Great Chinese Wall.
We will stop at a number of ports
In Corea, Tram rien Sin, We 90
to Shanghai to take a liner to Port
Said, where | will DO pleased to re-
ceiye letter from you.
We have been very fortunate in
meeting some estimable American
ladies at the Mission School.
Am IN the finest OF health and
enjoying life thoroughly.
With best regards to you, l am,

DEAD MAN WINS THE RACE.
LifelesS BicycIist Driven Across the
Line by Collision With His Rival.

Line by Collision With His Rival.
Australian advi3es tell of bicycle
race in Sydney which was won by a
dead man.
In a one-mile race at a big electric
light CARNIVAL there were fifty entries,
some of the fastest men in Australia
taking part While 10000 people
watched this race, which was for mag
nifcent cup. young James Somerville
passed under the tape winner but
lifeless.
At the start he quickly dashed ahead,
closely followed by another crack rider
named Fercy Cliff. They left forty
eight riders away in the rear, ard shot
around the track almost wheel to wheel
When within twenty five yards of tn
tape Somervlle, who still led by half
a wheel, was seen TO relax his hold on
the handle bars. His pedals whirled
around, however, and he pluckily held
his position. Five yards from the tape
Cliff put on a tremendous squirt and
struck Somerville's hind wheel, shooting
the machine with its then almost
inanimate burden like rocket under the
tape.
The crowd yelled wildly, but the
clamor suddenly ceased when Somer-
Vile, after crossing the tape, plunged
heao foremost from the machine. When
picked up he was dead.
Physicians who examined his body
said he must have had an attack of
heart disease on the last lap.

Money in This.

For the third time within two months
the price of brsom corn has been adj
vapced. 1t is now being held at $l5C
per ton for first quality and S120 per ton
for second, in Central Illinois, from
which section the market is governed.
Last fall the first quality broom corn
was worth $35 per:ton. There is short
age of supply and a heavy demand.
Why should not Georgia farmers turn
their attention to this product as a mon
ey crop? 1t is stated that on fairly
good land 800 to 900 pounds to the acre
can be produced, while on very good
land. with careful cultivation, 1,4OO to
1900 pounds to the acre can be grown.
Broom corn requires less care than cot
ton, and is much more cheaply harvest

TRAVEL WITHOUT MOVING.
Novel Trips For Visitors to the Paris
Exposition.


Exposition.
1t has been said frequently by those
who know them best that to the true
Parisians Paris is the world, and what
is true of the Partisan in particular is
equally so of the French in general
They are deeply interested in journeys,
expeditions and explorations, but when
1t comes to leaving their hearthstones
the bare idea terrifies them. Such being
the case, one of the features of the ex-
position should be tremendous success.
This is the Mareorama of the painter
Hugo d'Alesi, whose railway posters
and whose school picture tablets have
been adopted by the government.
His plan will enable lovers of the
boulevard to take a long voyage with
out leaving their easy chairs-that is
the journey from Marseilles on the
Mediterranean to Naples, Venice and
Constantinople. The illusion is cleverlv
managed The passenger goes on board
the steamer, finds the deck and cabin
correct in all details and the crew of
genuine sailors obeying the orders of
bOnafide captain. Around the ship are
the blue waves, behind it the port of
Marseilles, before it the sea and the
horizon The order to depart is given.
smoke pours from the funnel the water
is churned up by the propeller of the
vessel, which is placed on pivot, four
hydraulic pumps giving the motions
of rolling and pitching, and in few
moments fresh breeze, scented with
the smell of the sea, strikes the face.
This is furnished by ventilators filed
with fresh seaweed.
Comfortably seated on deck, the trav-
eler enjoys the sight as the vessel pro-
crosses, passes the forts and meets ships
and fishing boats. All the incidents of
sea trip are supplied. A fleet of war YES
sells is sighted, sunrise and sunset are
admired, and the excitement of storm
at sea is safely tasted. The arrival at
Venice takes place at night, while at
Naples the port is entered at daylight,
as is that of Constantinople The illu-
sion is produced by the walls of the
panorama moving on both sides of the
vessel These canvases, more than 15
yards high, slide smoothly by, moved
by machinery, and the judicious use of
lights and saline odors completes an eff

the traveller seems to stand still while
the landscape moves by.
Local color and music appropriate to
each country will add to the pleasure of
the journey on the Adriatic and Medi-
terranean and the Bosporus. The site of
the Mareorama at the Champs de Mars
will be between the Eiffel tower and the
station of the Molineux. and it promises
to be one of the attractions of the expo
sition. Chicago Post.
