Germany's Explanation of Americaps
Growth of Trade in
Australia.

Notwithstanding the governmental
supplemental subsidy the volume OF
Germauy's exports to Australia 10 de-
creasing and that of the United States
is increasing. In 1894 the United
States beat Germany in the Australian
trade by 100000. In 1897 Germany's
exports to Australia amounted to $4.-
100000, while those Of the United States
reached the figure of So, AGO 900. In 1889
the American exports increased to $11,-
100000, while the German amounted TO
s4,25o,ooo.
The German press is therefore
alarmed at this failure Of the national
trade with Australia to grow and says
that the reason of the American syste-
matte progress is the steady advertise
ment propaganda carried on by resi-
dent agents, which takes the form not
only of floods of catalogues, but Of con-
venient sample-rooms and the payment
of liberal commission.

VALUABLE GIFT TO YALE.
Jessup a Noted Collection Of
Arabic Mnnuscxtpts.

1t is announced by the authorities
OF Yale university that an unusually
valuable collection of Arabs manu-.
script, made by Count Landberg, has
been presented to the university By
Morris X. Jessup, Of New York city,
Count Landberg is distinguished
Swedish collector and traveller, his n
brary Of Swedish literature having
been purchased last year by Harvard
university. The Arabic collection,
which it is hoped will arrive in this
country within month, consists OF
some 500 manuscripts. Four-afths of
these are rare, and more than 600 are
without duplicates.
They cover the whole range OF
Arabic history and literature, and
many of them date back to the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
Law, philosophy, poetry and theology
are particularly well represented. The
collection was purchased at q cost OF
about $4,000.
These manuscripts, together with
the Salisbury oriental collection OF
about 1850 volumes, and that Of the
American Oriental society, now in the
university library, and containing
1000 bound volumes and come 1000
pamphlets, will give Yale position
of eminence in oriental research. AS
an evidence of the value Of ths Land
berg collection, Prof. Fischer, OF
Leipsic, one of the most distinguished
scholars in Germany, has expressed
his intention Of visiting America for
the special purpose of making q thor.

scripr,.

w1DENs FIELD FOR WOMEN.
Austrian Order Allowing Them 20
study Medicine and Phar-
macy,

The ministry of education Of Aus-
tria issued ordinances the other day
granting permission to women to study
medicine and to practice as phar-
nacists. The course of study in both
cases is similar to that imposed on
men, but no woman will be permitted
to carry on drug store Independently
without special permission from the
ministry of the interior. !.
Hitherto any Austrian woman desi0
ing to practice medicine has been com,
PEELED to study abroad, and then only
succeeded in obtaining permission tt
practice with the greatest difficulty.
The women are delighted with the
ordinances, which practically afford
them two more chances for making Q
livelihood.
At present the Austrian university
places women in two faculties-phil-
osophy and medicine. The women are
hoping that the faculty of law will soon
be thrown open.

The Shirt Waist

Very inviting are the displays of Ok
fords, cheviots, zephyrs and madras
cloths for the shirt waist, and th=
nade-up models have already pushed
out of place their winter representa-
tiveS in cloth, velvet and fine hanne:s-
We shall wear the comfortable woods,
aye, and even buy them for some time
to come, but already we are casting
speculative eyes upon the thinner sue
cessors- A pretty feature in the wash
waist for next summer is their sim
p1icity- The human form divine is to
have a chance to breathe once more,
for the yoluminous starchy fronts are
no more Even those protesting to be
loose have no surplus material, and
the greater number are unquestionabiy
perfectly plain, fitted over shoulders
and bust and buttoned simply down the
back. Red dotted swiss has the entire
front crossed in diamonds of white val
insertion, the undarted front just puck
cred a little at the belt, the plain
back closed with bullet-shaped pearl
buttons The close sleeves have a
tight cuff, and the simple, unlined col
lar has little oblong turnovers of Swiss
and Valenciennes lace. Another style
for these button-up-the-back waists is
to have the front entirely of tucking
and inserting. This is of the style
which is purchased ready tucked and
joined and saves infinite labor, besides
being nicer than the most careful home
seamstress could make it. Madras
waists, also SO fastened, have a slender
vest of tucking. running down to
point at the waist, and have little
vers from the neck to the bust on each
side. These are also Of tucking and
simply finished with a frill of narrow
lace. Large collars and full, fussy re
vers are not shown a all There is
every evidence that the 1900 summer
girl proposes, above all, to be sweetly
Clearly Her waists say plainly enough
.hat it will be a simple matter to wash
and iron them, and there need be no
lack in their number for that reason
One feature which marks them as new
and far prettier than the old shirt
waists is the entire absence of yokes
of any kind, even in the back. The
only semblance of a yoke is the one
which is trimmed and applied to the
shoulders, forming little epaulet over
the sleeves The backs of the semi
full front waists are tucked and plated
to correspond with the front There
are stiff linen cuffs, with rounded cor
ners and detachab BILE collars, which can
be discarded altogether for the more
becoming stocks and long silk scarfs
tied twice around the neck.

A lady noted for her good taste and
her unusual ability a housekeeper
says that everything about a sleeping
room should be simple, immaculate and
easily kept SO. Bedrooms may be
either carpeted with mating or the
floors oiled and rugs placed beside the
beds If the walls are papered the col
ors should be modest and the pattern
subdued. The windows should be cur
tanned SO as to be uniform with the
rest of the house, but too much drap-
cry is an abOmination and it should be
entirely dispensed with in a sick room.
The bedroom is what its name implies
a place of repose, and everything about
1t should be conducive to the one pur-
pose of sleeping Pictures and garish
furniture, or articles not actually nee
essary to the comfort of the occupant.
should be entirely ignored. Above all
things. sleeping apartment should be
