Prince of wales Sets New Fashions.

LONDON, November l0.-Those
who have long agitated against the
docking OF horses tails have won a
great victory. The Queen, in send
ing out an order that none of her
horses be treated in that way, also
announced that she had persuaded
the Prince OF Wales to follow her
example. With royalty taking up
such vigorous stand it is likely
that the locked horses will soon be
as rare in London as full tailed
horses are at present.
Another startling change in APP
pearance is Prince OF Wales wearing
eye glasses. The future King has
long enjoyed good eyesigbt, but
now, on the advice OF an eminent
oculst, he has had recourse to this
fashionable form of spectacles.
They are selected from the best OBJ
tainable lenses, are framed in tor
toise shell and form an altogether
elaborate addition to the royal
couutenance.

BRAZILIAN HAMMOCKS
A Necessary Article In That CO1ntry
and More Often Used
Than Beds.

The passenger capacity of the vessels
on the Amazon river is not limited by
the number of berths or staterooms,
which are seldom or never used except
by the few foreign travellers, TO dress
In, but by the limit Of hanging room for
hammocks on the deck of the vessel.
Everybody Of necessity must have a
hammock, says the Ledger Monthly, as
the state rooms are un bearable at night.
Even in the hotels hammocks are more
used than beds. Some of them are
very fine; those made of maqueira
grass, with feather lace trimmings,
are considered the best. 1t takes from
several months to year or more to
make really good ones, and they bring
anywhere from hundred to five hun
dred dollars each.
The feather work is most artistic and
very cleverly put together. The feath-
ers themselves are all of their natural
colors, and are taken from the most
brilliantly colored birds that are to be
found. The Indians of the Rio Branco
region, on the upper Rio Negro, have
great reputation for this kind of work.
These hammocks will last lifetime,
though in use every day and washed
once month. The most common kind
are of German manufacture, made of
cotton, and imported and sold very
cheaply. These, however, are very
warm, and keep out the cool drafts of
air. The best cotton ones are of native
grown cotton and are made in Maran
hao. The grass hammocks are much
cooler than any bed, as they let the
fresh night breezes come through their
loosely woven meshes.

SMALL CASE. BIG COST.
An Incident Which illustrates the
Expensive Procedure OF Matters
Brought Before Government.

Formalities of the government and
the cost involved in doing nothing is IL
Illustrated by some official correspond
ence which has just been forwarded TO
the house by Secretary Root. An officer
of n Massachusetts volunteer regiment
lost gold watch and $37 in money
while at Montauk Point, n. Y, on his
return from Cuba. The inquiry extends
over the period from October, 1898, to
July, 1899, and has just reached con-
gress.
1t is accompanied by letter of Sec
rotary Root, saying the claim for re-
endorsement appears 10 be meritori-
Gus, but as there is no fund at the dis
posal of the war department which
could lawfully be used to reimburse"
the officer for his loss, and inasmuch
as the auditor for the war department
could discover no law to authorize the
settlement Of such claims the whole
matter was sent to congress and will
repose in the committee on war claims
The reports show the officer was
robbed by a nurse, to whom the prop
erty was intrusted. The inquiry, the
cost of printing the reports as public
document and the other expenses will
amount to over 5000, and yet the officer
is not a penny richer.

brooches in which colored pearls are
set bring large prices. These colored
pearls, which are found with all the
delicate tints of color from bronze
through violet and rose, are highly es-
teemed by London merchants, and are
rapidly bought up from the American
dealers.
These are fresh water pearls, and are
found chiefly in America, especially
along the streams of Wisconsin and
that vicinity.

PAYMENT OF PRIZE MONEY.
What the Law of the United states
Provides in. the Matter OF
Distribution.

The pending dispute as to the
amounts of prize money to which Ad-
miral Dewey and his men are entitled
for the destruction of the Spanish fleet
In Manila bay has led to an inquiry
as to the scope of the law applying in
such matters. 1t has learned that the
revised statutes provide that if prize
vessel was of superior or equal force
to the captor, all the prize money goes
to the captor; if it was inferior, half
only goes to the captor and half to
the government. The money is divld-
ed thus: To the fleet or squadron com
mander, one-twentieth; to the second
in command, one-fiftieth, this to be
taken from the governments share, II
there is such share, and 10 be addi-
tional to his share as commander of a
ship making a capture. To the heet
captain, one per cent, except "hen
the vessel on which he is actually makes
the capture; in that case he shares as
the other officers. TO the commander
of single vessel, one-tenth il the YES
sci was attached to a fleet or three
twenteths if il was operating alone
All the rest is distributed among the
officers and men in proportion to their
pay. For a naval victory the govern
ment gives bounty of 800 for each
officer and man on every vessel OF ar
inferior force that is captured or sunni
If the force was superior the bounty
is 5000 n head, and the total amour; il
divided as the prize money Is.
