WINTER FASHIONS IN PARIS.

1t is announced that cashmeres will be
worn this spring, and, of course light
cloths; and that the most attractive ac-
cessory to toilettes of all sorts will be
the Pompadour embroidery, Of which
we are beginning to see so much, now
the winter styles are fairly launched
The revers of winter coats are made of
Pompadour embroidery, the tiny collars
inside the straight collar of the dress
| the decollete Of an evening dress, one
sees a cravat of it to wear with any
blouse. One Of the prettiest Paquin
evening gowns 1 have seen was of point
d'esprit, spangled with jet and trimmed
round the bottom Of the skirt with many
| undulated rows of velvet ribbon. The
bodice was nothing more than baby
waist, with a band of Pompadour en-
broidery on white satin going across the
square neck. The smartest Paquin
skirt of the winter seems to be the mod
ell with long tunio over-skirt edged
with a wide trimming made of black
satin bands woven into a sort Of basket
work. This trimming comes up in a
double row in the back, which, of
course, is perfectly flat at the top.
With this was worn a white satin
blouse made with little tucks. with frills
of Valenciennes lace between them, but
the bodice was nearly covered by a
large cravat of Pompadour embroidery
bordered with pink.
The fashion for evening gowns of tule
lettes, RACES more fiercely than ever.
Their variety, even in theiV similarity,
is endless, and [ can make about them,
with feeling, that much abused state
ment that no womans wardrobe is COM
plete without one. Doucet gives quite
an individual note to them by making
them up over an iridescent lining built
of three layers of gauze-rose, mauve
and pale blue-over a white-satin foun-
dation. An exquisite model | saw was
a shaped skirt of lace, with the pattern
outlined by jet paillettes. The rides
cent lining gave quaint effect of moth
err pearl. The decollete was bordered
with baby roses finished at the left with
a very artistic knot of the three colors
of gauZe.
One of the prettiest "little-dinner"
dresses have seen lately was a Pompa
dour skirt in which pale blue predomi-
mated, worn with sort of bolero of
guipure. This last had large jabot rev.
ers bordered with fur, and narrow
basque tails in the back, at the top of
each of which, at the waist-line, was a
chou of pale-blue mousselne de sole
bordered with narrow black velvet
ribbon. Another 'little-dinner" dress
had lace bodice, with the pattern out
lined with the shirred comet ribbons
that are so much seen. And this same
embroidered lace makes the prettiest
sort of yokes for very elegant visiting
dresses. A very smart gown of this de-
scription was of lavender-blu paau de
sole, embroidered tone upon tone in
shades of the same, with yoke embroi-
dered with little ribbons-Harper's Ba-

JAMES BRYCE ON EXPANSION.

Go softly, go warily. Before launch
ing out into large schemes of admins
tration or economic reform, take care TO
ascertain the facts as fully and accu-
rately as possible. (Most of our blun-
ders in India have been due to lnsuifi-
Gent information, producing incorrect
vieWs) Let the facts be ascertained py
men specially qualified-by scientific
observers, by experienced travellers, by
practical economists. Ordinary politl-
clans are ill-fitted for such investiga-
| lions. Politicians are, indeed, not the
men to send to these new countries at
all; their habits of thought and action
are out Of place.
The less the existing arrangements are
at first disturbed the better. The old
officials may be bad. but they have a
sort of knowledge which the best stran-
ger cannot at once acquire, and 1t Is not
we'll to make clean sweep" forthwith.
The present native authorities, local
chiefs, or princes, may be used to keep
order and collect revenue till the new
government sees its way to changing
them or dispensing with them. In India
the English found it prudent to alter the
administration of the MoGul soveregns
and of the native rajas very gradually.
Some wise men think our Indian gov
eminent has undertaken too much direct
administration, and that it would have
been better to leave far more of the
country under native rule, merely SUI
pervised by British officers. To begin
by subduing the semi-independent Mo
hammedan sultans who reign in some OF
the Philippines might prove a trouble
some business. as the Dutch have found
their war with the Sultan of Achin, in
Sumatra, a very long and costly affair.
Our experience is that such potentates
must in the long run be brought under
control, hut that they may be permitted
to keep for time their authority in
sort of loose vassalage.
A firm hand needs to be kept on white
Adventures. Capital must, of course,
be encouraged to flow in from civilized
countries, and advantages offered to
those who will develop the country, will
drain and improve lands, work forests
open mines. But the European adven-
turer is almost certain to try to defraud
or to Gust the native. Quarrels follow,
Europeans are maltreated their expul-
sion or death must be punished, order Is
disturbed, the natives are alienated, and
government becomes unpopular. In In
dia, and in some parts of Africa, our
imperial authorities keep a very tight
hand on the speculative European who
desires to exploit the native, and all
sorts Of facilities for playing tricks
which at home come within the concep-
ton OF liberty" must in these new
countries disappear before state neces-
sity. lest worse mischiefs follow.-Cen-
fury.

Moreover, with six-inch quick-fring
guns, using seven hundred and fifty
pounds of shot and cordite every min
ute, it becomes matter Of practical
difficulty to keep more than certain
number of guns supplied.
1t is to Sir William Whites credit
that amid all the mechanical complex
ties of the modern war-ship, he never
lost sight of the fact that without men
War-ship was merely a costly lump OF
steel Quick-fre guns, light and heavy,
well dispersed, and each with wide
angle of fire; ample protection for gun
ners and stokers alike; plenty of ammu-
milton, coal and supplies; q good gun
platform in rough as well as fine wealth
er-these were the qualities realized by
him in the Majestic, and these have
made her a favorite type for imitation
by naval architects of other nations

able for the blessing of mankind, dull
grammar school is an instrument of in
tellectual abortion; uniformity in secon-
dairy schools is slow starvation pro-
cess; paternalism and prescription in
college are dwarfng and stunning of
the powers on which the prosperity Of a

milestone should be hanged about his
neck and that he should be cast into the

work of this educational reformer.

THE SUPERIORITY OF THE BRIT
ISH BATTLESHIP.

If experience at sea under all kinds Of
weather is to prove a valuable factor in
the next great naval war, then the Brit
ish navy has the advantage of every
other navy in the world. The mere or
binary reliefs of two hundred war-ves-
sells of all kinds, at present in COM
mission and spread over every quarter
Of the globe, mean in the aggregate an
enormous amount of cruising through
calms and storms, or steaming from
cold climates to hot and vice-versa.
Out of this experience has come the pre-
yalent British practice of having all
war-ships good sea-boats; and from this
there has followed at first perhaps un-
consciously, but now as a carefully
studied art the designing Of war-vessels
to be good gun platforms in fair wealth
er or foul.
An observer who saw the British and
French fleets meet in mid-channel in
1895, as escorts to the Gear of Russia
who was then visiting the principal
countries in Europe, says that the Brit
ish ships We're as steady in the choppy
sea as if they had been riding in land
locked harbor, while the French ships
danced about so much that many of the
officers and men were palpably seasick.
Now. men who are seasick are almost
as much hors-de-combat as if they were
seyerely wounded
On the other hand, a war-ship may be
a good sea-vessel, and yet, owing to the
low elevation of her guns, may not be
abIe to use them in a storm. Lieuteu
ant w. e. Eberle, U. S. N, has said that
+he United States battleship Oregon,
which proved herself to be an excellent
sea-boat. could not have fought any of
her thirteen-inch guns during gale or
|or hours afterwards, and could have
fought her eight-inch guns only at in
+ervals in rough seas This argument
M favor Of the high freeboard in the
Majestic and Campus classes is appa-
rently irresistible.
In practice shooting, made to resem-
hIe service conditions as nearly as pos
sible. the British navy attains an aver
ape of thirty per cent. of effective hits,
Nut no one expects this average to be
0naintained during the excitement of an
action. If the Olympia had maintained
This average at Manila she would nave
made ninety-slx effective hits or
enough to have destroyed the whole
Snanish fleet single-handed. 1t Is,
therefore, in the opinion of Sir William
white and his fighting chiefs at the Ad-
,niraIty. not so much a matter of the
number of guns as the excellence OF the
shooting with those that are provided

PRESIDENT ELIoTs PATIENCE.

| PRESIDENT EL1OTS PATIENCE.
| When President Eliot was elected
says President William Dewitt Hyde in
the March Atlantic, George S. Hilliard,
meeting him on the street, said to him:
DO you know what qualities you will
need most out there at Harvard? 2"
President Eliot replied that he supposed
he would need industry, courage and
the like. No" said Mr.. Hllard.
| what you will need is patience-pa
Noncompliance" So it has proved.
| All these reforms have required ten,
/ twenty or thirty years for their accom-
| pllshment
| OF the two reforms now pending, the
extension of the franchise to graduates
of the professional schools was proposed
eighteen years ago; and the definition
of requirements for admission which is
now before the board of overseers is the
working out of principles announced
| twenty-four years ago. and contained in
germ in his inaugural address. Yet this
marvellous patience has not been the
idle waiting for the lapse of time but
the steady pressure of one who was con-
fident that he was right, and sure that,
hif urged at every opportunity, the right
would gain adherents and ultimately
prevail. Presidenot Eliots reforms
have all been rooted in principles and
purposes which at bottom are moral and
religious. He has gone up and down the
whole length Of our educational line,
condemning every defect denouncing
every abuse, exposing every sham, re-
buking every form Of Incompetence and

THE ONWARD MARCH OF SNOB-
Berry IN AMERICA.

| During the last twenty years our pop
ulation has been passing through a pc
Rod of awakening in regard to the
usages of civilized countries, with the
result that the public point of view has
been astonishingly readjusted. The
people are, so to speak, tumbling over
each other in their haste to adopt old
world social customs, and the para
grapher who tells us that the wife of
the chief magistrate wears blue novelty
silk waists to the theater made by one
of her familiar friends, makes point Of
assuring us that the dressmaker in
question is herself "a leading society
woman" Our public press Is rife with
society cant and society gossip, and
justifies the practice on the plea that
the plain people are absorbed in the
contemplation of the doings and the
dresses of those whom they know only
by hearsay, even as an Engllshwoman
will run the risk of apoplexy In order to
catch passing glimpse Of her sovereign.
Of this appetite for social tittle-tattle,
the wealthy class seems disposed to take
every advantage, pluning itself on its
new Importance to the point where it is
constantly trying to devise some new
extravaganza or inanity.
But this is not the spirit Of the United
States, nor are these the best Ameri-
cans. Our nation is strange in this re-
spect We wear our faults upon our
sleeves, or rather we suffer a surface
population to belle us in various walks
of life, That is the reason why the for
eigners who come over here and try to
amass the materials for a book in few
months fail to understand us as we real
ly are. They are led by specifically
prominent indications to believe many
things which are true only of limited
portion of the population, and they fail
to perceive the sturdiness of character,
the independence Of view, and the social
charm which distinguish a large and
constantly increasing portion of the
American people, who are neither ex-
travagant plutocrats nor vulgar repub-
lican braggarts and despisers of civilized
practices Scribner's.

MAKING A NEW NOSE.

| An interesting fact has just come to
light which strikingly exemplifles the
wonderful strides of modern science. 1t
is case in which warrior from the
great battle of Omdurman. who suffered
serious facial disfigure ment has had hi
disbursement obliterated and his fea
ttures made to appear to all intents and
purposes as perfect as if nothing had
| happened. In short he had the greater
part of his nose cut clean off, and he
has been provided with a new nose.
This hero of the Soudan, by name Ser
geant Freeman, is a member of the
! Twenty Lancers, and he took part
in the memorable charge at Omdurman
| During the charge one of the lieutenants
of the Lancers was attacked by Der
wish, who, getting bold Of the officers
| right hand, in which he CART his lance,
commenced industrously saving at the
wrist with his sword, with the evident
intention of severing the hand. Ser
geant Freeman was fighting his way
| through a bunch of Dervishes when he
heard the young officer, who was Lieu
! tenant Meacham, cry out, and turning,
saw the predicament in which he was
| placed. He made a dash for the spot,
and running his lance through the Der
| wish, saved the lieutenant. However, at
the next moment he was confronted by
two Dervishes, who wildly slashed at
him with their swords. He parted the
blows and killed them both in turn, but
one terrific blow from sword came SO
near to ending his life as to strike his
nose and carry away the lower cartilage
as far as the upper lip.
Freeman was invaded home, and be-
came an inmate at Netley hospital He
ultimately recovered, and was sent by
Colonel Martin, who was in command
of the Twenty first Lancers in the great
battle, to consult Mr.. Groves, L. d. s.,
r. c. S., of Wolverhampton who has
become famous for his restoration OF
facial Disbursements. Mr.. Groves, in
spite of exceptional difficulties, has
treated the case with complete success.
An artificial substitute for the nasal or
gan has been built up, so that the lhJn-
ry Is not perceptible. Sergeant Free

worse for his awkward experience. hay

slightly dirfigurement.
Mr. Groves himself thus describes the
means by which he gave the sergeant
his new nose: The artificial organ is
first nodded from plaster model Of the
face and then worked up in platinum
and vulcanite, and painted and fired,
until the artificial production becomes
an exact reproduction of the lost fea-
ture.-London Public Opinion.

MORE TROOPS ARE WANTED.
|, Gen. Otis sends IN Urgent Request fol
Thirty Thousand Msn-Recruit-
ing Going Forward.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-An urgent
request for $4,000 more soldiers for
immediate service in the Philippines,
in addition to half that number
that are required for garrison pur-
poses, was contained in a cable
gram received Thursday from Gen.
Otis, the full contents of which are
guarded with the greatest secrecy.
The government has paid prompt heed
to the request by urging the speedy
enlistment of regulars at all recruit
ing stations.
1t is estimated that $4,000 men are
now needed for garrison purposes, and
the number required increases with
every town captured.
Otis is also said to have again urged
the immediate recall of President
Schurman, of the peace commission,
whose treatment of Aguinaldo's ennis
saries has been extremely distasteful
to the commanding general. Schur.
man will be allowed to resign on his
return. Denby and Worcester, the
other members of the commission, will
remain, as they agree with Otis in the
necessity for unyielding methods.
