the last year with the first alone, since
the series is not regularly progressive,
and there SEEM to be something alb
normal about the French figures for
1898, which disclose a remarkable fall
ing of from those Of 1897. Temporary
influences have been felt from year to
year, as Lord Cromer himself notes
when he explains the drop in English
from 1894 to 1895 by reference to an
acute wave Of Anglophobia which
swept over the country during Rioz
Pasha's ministry. But taking the Pc
riod as a whole, 1t is undeniable that
English has had the best Of the battle
and that 1t is likely to make the greater
gain in the future. The stronghold Of
English is the primary school, where
the attendance is increasing rapidly.
In the secondary schools a majority Of
the pupils still prefer French. but the
percentage Of those taking English has
risen from rs to Al. There is a slight
Increase Of English students also in the
technical schools. where the total at
tendance shows little change, and in
the professional schools the percentage

The government exhibit will surpcs3
that of last year. The Libby Prison
War Museum. an immense collection
Of historical relics, will be augment
ed by trophies from the war in the
Philippines and the campaigns in Cuba
and Porto Rico. The various other
exhibits in Agriculture, Mining, Elec-
tricity, Machinery, Manufactures and
Art are superior to those of last year
and in almost every department will
be new and interesting features.
The grounds and buildings have
been greatly improved. thousands Of
trees, plants, shrubs and flowers from
tropic and su%b-tropic lands being used
in the decorations. In the Horticul-
ture exhibit are palms, orange trees
and scores of trees and plants from our
island possessions, many of which are
new to the people of the United States.
The Electrical illumination will far
surpass anything Of the kind here
tofore attempted and all that is new
est and most novel in electric effects
will be shown. The Grand Court will
be a fairy city when the thousands OF
lights are displayed and many of the
effects are startling in their novelty
and wierd beauty.
Several features of the coming Ex-
position have received more than US
ual attention and among these might
be mentioned the Fine Art collection
which will be the grandest exhibit In
this line since the Worlds Fair; the
Indian Congress, in which the leading
chiefs and warriors of the many tribes

and the man whose principal business
it is to wait for the possible death OF
the president in order that he may take
the presidents chair, and the New
York Mail and Express thus gives cur,
rency to it. Breckenridge said that
Buchanan never consulted him about
any important matter, although as a
Kentuckian, having the confidence OF
most of the southern leaders, he felt
that his advice might at times have
been valuable to the president. In the
early fall of 1860, when Buchanan's
term was nearing an end, amid the
gathering clouds Of war, Vice-President
Breckenridge received an urgent sum
mons to the White House. He %
sponded at once, thinking that at last
the president wanted his advice on the
momentous questions then pending.
When he arrived he was shown into
the presidents room, and Mr.. Buchan-
an, who was alone, called his private
secretary and instructed him to see
that they were not disturbed during

The bathing season is about to be-
gin once again and the bathing suit is
a very important part of the summer
wardrobe despite the reputation it has
acquired of not being ample enough to
supply one moth with a good meal. The
approved costume for this season Is
comprehensive enough for all purposes
of modesty and usefulness, and fine,
silky b%rilliantine is the leading mate
rial. This in black, dark blue or white
is very desirable, the dark colors being
made up with white revers, vest and
belt striped with white or colored braid
like the model shown. Red, pale blue
and navy braids are pretty on the
white suits, and this style Of dress
Is made with a wide hem and no trim
ing around the skirt. Colored braid
sewn on bands Of white in straight or
cross lines is a very effective trimming
for the dark gowns.
Rows of stitching in a contrasting
color are also very much used, max
ing a very pretty finish. Experiments
in color and style of bathing gowns are
rarely successful, and the modest, we'll
made costume in white, dark or neu-
trail colors will prove to be the best
investment. Gray is very much liked,
and, trimmed with white, it is dainty
and desirable. Serge, flannel and silk
are all employed in this department of
dress, but there is no question about
the popularity Of mohair, as it sheds
the water and does not cling to the fig
ure like silk or flannel.
Rather pretty suits for young women
are made of dark red serge and
trimmed with white braid. White fan
mel, embroidered all over in blue polka
dots, makes a stunning dress, while an
other effective dress for those who like
show is a white mohair, trimmed with
blue bands Of the same material, with
rows Of blue stitching between. This
is shown in the illustration with an
other of white, decorated with black
stitching, and a black sailor tie. The
sleeves are short with a banded puff,
or cut in the coat-sleeve style to the
elbow, where they end in a frill.
4Ao prevailing SkliL is quiet, aVlQg
a little fullness around the hips, but
there are varied styles for those who
like extremes in every branch Of dress,
and the mermaid skirt is adapted to
this costume very easily. 1t fits the
hips after the most approved pattern,
and is usually cut with a circular
t1ounce half it's length. Some of the
skirts button up the side, like the tai
lor gowns, and if you want a fanciful
costume make the upper half of your
skirt in a dark color and the lower in
white, spotted with polka dots to
match. The waists are made very much
like a shirtwaist, and quite as carefully
fitted, with a little pouch in front.
In the accessories of this dress there
Is nothing especially new The kim
ono-shaped cloaks of Turkish toweling,
or flannel, are very useful, and very
striking, too, when they are made Of
white with wide red bands for trim
ming. Shoes, Or rather soles with

GREAT AND POPULAR ENTERPRISE
Bringing Together q Comprehensive Ex-

Months of Sightseeing, Commencing

Perhaps there are comparatively few
people who appreciate the vast scope
of the First Greater America Colonial
Exposition which opens its gates at
Omaha on July LIST. The United States
has become. within the past year, a
mighty empire whose possessions lie
on either side of the globe, and it is
a ~stupendous Undertaking to bring to-
gether in one grand comprehensive
exhibit the national resources, indus
tries, manufactures and products, not
only Of the North American continent,
but of several Of the principal, islands
of the seas. The peoples Of these far
away sea-girt lands are of different

stockings attached, are very nice; and
then there are the usual black tights
and hose combined, with an elastic
wool strap going over the shoulders.
Full knickers are the usual accompani-
ment OF all bathing suits, but stout
women often discard these for the
close-htting tights. One very unusual
style Of skirt is cut in many cores with
rows Of stitching down either side Of
the seam, and scalloped edges falling
over q rufie, which in some instances
il made Of silk. Silk collars adorn
some Of the mohair gowns, and duck
and pique are both used for this pur-
pose.

ported on as liberal a scale as ever, and
the right of selection was left to the
pupils and their parents. But at the
same time there was inaugurated a
policy of Linguistic free trade" The
facilities for learning English were
greatly increased, and gradually 1t be-
came more popular among the youth

their language, dress and modes OF
life differ widely from those to which
we are most accustomed, and both
time and capital are required to secure
all the things necessary to make up
an exposition which will do them JUS

This is especially the case in Egypt,

of those learning English has advanced
from % to 40. One exception is noted,
however, among the professional
schools. French alone Of all European
languages is used in the school Of law,
so that children who are educated on
the English side of the preparatory
schools are practically debarred from
the study and practice of law. But this
anomaly will be corrected next au-
tumn, when an English section will be
established in the law school.
