For the bride.

AS summer advances beautiful
shades of blue are taking the place of
the springtime purple. These blues
are to be found in the silk and wooden
veilings, in cottons and linens and
millinery materials. A charming wool
yelling of a real china-blue shade is
trimmed with the tiniest rows of black
velvet ribbon and has vest and revers
Of white satin overlaid with Irish
point. Dull reds, or rather soft shades
of red. are fashionable. but are so sub
dued by the trimming that they are
not in the least obtrusive. 1t requires,
however, just the artistic eye and fin
gers of the Partisan modiste to sue
cessfully present reds that may be
worn in the warmer weather Boleros
of lace are particularly modish, while
lace covered or otherwise trimmed
reyers are to be found even on even
ing gowns, the short little revers turn
ing back just at the bust line.

In these days OF proposed interna-
tlonal alliances It is interesting to read
Of the little difficulty in which a Chi
cage newsboy found himself involved,
and how he extricated himself there
from. He had wandered over into one
of the foreign quarters" on the west
side, where one can hear almost every
language except our yernacular, and
he was set upon by two or three boys.
He defended himself bravely and was
holding his own fairly well, until the
two or three were Joined BY as many
more, and then the battle began TO go
against him. SAY" he yelled to a
group of boys watching the fight from

The Poets.


The poets-the poets
Those giants of the earth:
In mighty strength they tower above
The men of common birth
y noble race-they mingle not
Among the motley throng.
But move. with slow and measured steps,
TO music-notes along.
The poets-the poets
What conquests they can boast!
Without one drop of life-blood split,
They rule a worlds wide host:
Their stainless banner floats unframed
From age to heightened age;
And history records their deeds
Upon her proudest page.
The poets-the poets
How endless is their fame,
Death. like a thin mist. comes, yet leaves
No shadow on each name:
But as yon starry gems that CLEAN
In evenings crystal sky,
SO have they won. in memory's depths,
An Immortality.
The poets-the poets
Who doth not linger DER
The glorious volumes that contain
Their bright and spotless lore?
They charm us In the saddest hours,
Our richest joys they feed;
And love for them has grown TO be
universal creed.
The poets-the poets
Those kingly minstrels dead,
Wen may We Irvine Votive wreath
Around each honored head:
No tribute is too high to give
Those crowned ones among men
The poets the true poetsl
Thanks be TO God for them.

Exports of merchandise from the
United States to China in the fiscal
year about to end will be larger than
those of any preceding year in our his
tory. A decade ago the exports to
China were less than 100000, and to
China and Hongkong combined were
little over $6,000.OO0. In the fiscal year
1899 our exports to China will be more
than $4,000 900, and to Hongkong more
than $6,O00,000, making a total to China
and Hongkong of over $20,0O0,O0O, or
more than three times as much as
that of decade earlier. That the bulk
of exports to Hongkong may properly
be considered as ultimately destined
for consumption in China is shown by
the fact that the official reports of the
imports into China show that over A
per cent Oh their imports are from the
port of Hongkong. The 1899 exports
10 China and Hongkong combined will
show gain of nearly 25 per cent over
those OF last year. while the total eX-
ports from the United States for the
fiscal year 1899 will be little if any in
excess Of those OF last year. thus show
