ENGLAND SETS UP A HOWL
Roar OF the Lion at Senate's Action on
the Canal.

Roar OF the Lion at Senste's Action on
the Canal.
London, Dec. 14.-Ths adoption by
the United States senate Of the Davis
amendment to the Hay Pauncefote
treaty is evidently regarded as far too
weighty matter for hurried comment
by the London morning journals. Ac-
c0rdingly the Times and most of the
other papers postpone their editorial
treatment of the question in it's pres
ent phase. The Daily Chronicle, how
ever, publishes short notice, in which
1t says:
'The news is very serious. indeed
1t means. in q word, that the jingOes
and Anglophobes of the United States
senate have triumphed and that we
are back again today whore we were
at the time of the Venezuela imbroglio
and President Cleveland's insolent and
provocative speech. The better feeling
manifested during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war has been shaken by pro- Boer
sympathizers and II 10 now swamped
by sslf-interest. The Americans in
tend to fortify the canal in spite Of the
treaty engagement to the contrary. We
cannot possibly stand by and allow the
Clayton Bulwer treaty to be thus i'm
periously set aside. The good relations
between the two countries must Of
necessity be gravely menaced. This
is the outcome Of Mr.. McKinley's re-
election. Worse could hardly have
happened II Mr.. Bryan had been re-
turned"
The Standard observes: "It is more
of rebuff for President McKinley's s
executive than for Great Britain. En-
gland cannot possibly accept the Hay
Pauncefote treaty thus amended, and
1t would be insulting to the people and
government Of the United States to
assume that they would either re-
nounce the ClaytOnB Bulwer treaty
without Offering an equitable equiva-
lent or contemplate the gross illegality
Of disregardinE It. There will be time
enough to consider the abrogation of

Gbe Sim Dance.
Filipino Ceremony Which Ends in
Death or Exaltation.

Manila Correspondence Of the Philadel-
phia Record.
The almost naked body of woman ly-
ing in a ditch near San sLazaro started
an investigation by the police recently
that led to startling disclosures as to the
character Of the Filipinos. Their treach-
cry was common knowledge. Their saw
agery was not so well recognized until
discoveries in connection with the finding
of this quite decomposed body gave suf-
1cient evidence to clear up any impress
sion that the Tagalo was enlightened
The woman had died during the peni-
tent dance on Good Friday, and in so
doing had disgraced herself to the extent
that her relatives had refused to have
anything to do with her after death. The
native priests have encouraged this relic
of barbarity. Men, women and children
indulge in the dance with a view of OBJ
tanning eXpiation fer the sins Of the year.
The place chosen for the ceremony is
always Isolated. The more Igmote it is
the more pleased are those who partici-
pate, for then there can be that abandon
thrown into it which would be impossible
near any town. The fanatics generally
strip most of their clothing and are ready
for the dance.
They form circle, giving their bodies 4
slightly swaylng motion, and all the
while cut and lash each other with
switches It is considered a disgrace for
any of the participants to give way to
fatigue until the dance is over, the only

Some idea of the immense amount OF
time and money lavlshed on this piece Of
furniture may be gathered from the fact
that a single broad ivory band which
ran around the UNDERTAKING. was Cut

At the outset a serious difficulty arose
that would have daunted any one but an
American. 1t was found that the magntA-
cent trophy at the head Of the bedstead
was so large that no single piece Of ivory
could be obtained Of the required dimen-
siOns
The firm talked Of reducing the cary
ing, but Mr. Marchand would not hear Of
1t. They found a tusk of the requisite
size at last, but 1t took seven months
to find it, and the cost of the ivory and
the journey as far as Uyanyembe, in
Africa, where the mammoth tusk was dis
covered, ran Mr.. Marchand into a further
expense Of nearly $4,000
The hangings Of the bedstead are of a
special purple damask, costing S245O a
yard, exclusive of the first cost Of the
loom cards.
The wardrobe was nearly as expensive
as the bedstead-s1 1890 was its price.

account, 1t Will be seen that the entire

amount to something over $500, 900.

7Rpedf00m, One mNfon Dollars
- American rHlIIOnare's Dazzling Order 90
! Given to London Firm = "

1t is an opinion generally entertained
that the age for costly and elaborate
furniture is past and gone. Perhaps an
order recently placed with a London firm
by an American millionaire will tend to
dispel this illusion, says the New York
Press.
Stephen S. Marchand is the, possessor of
the most beautiful bedchamber in the
world. This immense apartment. 76x22
feet, is of elliptical form.
The walls are paneled with deliberately
carved earichments in the style of Louis
XIV, the background is finished in white
enamel and the carvings and mouldings
are gilt
Taking into consideration the form OF
the apartment and the difficulty and ex-
pense of adapting paneling and wood
work to chamber of this shape, II is
not surprising that $4,000 was the price
for the wall and dado woodwork alone
The wall inside the panels is hung with
purple and gold Genoese velvet This
material being of rare color, exceptional
quality and special design, was manufac-
tured by a Lyons firm at a cost of $3S. rs
a yard. Therefore the wall hangings alone
room-cost Mr.. Marchand something like
$3S7.5O per panel, or $1O,85O for the whole.
The ceiling is deliberately carved and dec
GRATED by special artists from Paris, and
cost $18,350 more. The curtains and cur

as the wall panels, and cost $4,000. This

$3.50 a pair. They were made by hand
of the finest Brussels net, interviewer with
silk These, therefore, added another
$3.50 to the item Of curtains. The car

minister, had to be specially dyed, and
ran into s31. % a yard. This, for the whole
bedchamber cost $3.50. But the

There is a man in this town who is

some one there with an eager "How do

The car went buzzing by so fast that,

In the same direction he caught only a
fitting vision Of pink-clad girlhood es-
corted by something in trousers.
But in that sixteenth of second the

Much has appeared in print of the Chi

comparatively little is heard of his little
wife. 1t is stated, however, that Mime.
WI has remained faithful to the Oriental
Costume, and, aside from her cramped
Feet is an object of envy to many an
American woman who would like the OPP
portunity of wearing such comfortable
robes She wears a brilliant petticoat
of red or blue, just short enough to show
her tiny feet, and heavily embroidered
In gold. Over this she wears a tunic
of black and purple, also richly embroid-
cred. The large gold eagle on her
breast signifies that she stands in equal
rank with her husband, and can enter or
leave a room side by side with him, in
stead of dropping a little behind, as
would be required If her rank were lower
than his. Her hair is banded with black

dismal chant is kept up during the dance,

the signal to stop.
The dead woman had participated IN
one of these dances and had held out for
hours. Those who were with her in the
dance expressed surprise that she held out
as she did. Late in the afternoon, how

SUMMER GIRLS AND HAMMoCKs.
The Latter Are Not for Plump
Maidens.

There are many types of the summer
girl. All have their peculiar charms, but
they differ from each other as one star
differs from another star in glory
There is, for example, the hammock
girl. She pitches her tent in the pleasant
places in the vine-shaded corner of the
piazza. under the spreading tree, beside
the ripping rivulet. Hammocks are works
of art in these days, and there is no
doubt she is immensely effective. She
has the inestmable advantage OF a back
ground. She can buy a hammock to suit
her complexion, she can let her fancy
run riot in pillows. She can sway softly,
idly, gracefully to and fro. I have seen
an ordinarily pretty girl in white mus
lin frock transformed by the witchery
of a hammock into something almost as
enchanting as the sleeping princess in
the fairly tales. But before you adopt
the hammock go down to the nearest pair
OF reliable scales and get weighed. If

FRUIT FOR -BREAKFAsT.
Some Dainty Ways of Serving

1t.
Raspberries and blackberries do not, as
a rule. require washing. They must be
handled carefully in looking them over;
being soft, they are easily bruised. Ar
range the raspberries on a fat glass
dish, sort Of tossing them up into a pyra-
mid. One may sprinkle over a small
amount of currant juice and serve them
with powdered sugar.
Plums, if served raw. may be put in a.
fiat dish or basket garnished with greens
and passed just as one would serve
peaches. They should be peeled before
eating. Pears and apples may be served
in the same way.
Cherries are palatable raw, but with
out doubt they are more digestible when
cooked.
Peaches are more attractive when serv-
ed in their own skins Serve just at the
right temperature, not warm, but still
not overchilled. This makes all fruit
sour.
Grapes are daintier served in a fiat,
open basket, decorated with their own
foliage.
Watermelons and cantaloupes are al
ways best served simply chilled-not cold
enough to be unpalatable and tasteless,
but with no tinge of warmth.
