UNTIDY TRAVELLERS.
Many Excursionists Are Both Bad
Tempered and Dusty In
Hot Weather.


There's no doubt about it, summers
a very demoralizing time. 1t isn't
only that in warm weather we see the
people we once considered the pink of
neatness, with hair uncurled and in
careless dress; 1t is that both the
temper and the intellect are affected
by a temperature of 100 degrees in the
shade, says the Baltimore News.
1t is noticeable when one gets in q
crowd on such day that politeness
is at low ebb. Every body's as snappy
as cat, and the man who ordinarily
would smile pleasantly when fellow
sufferer apologized for accidentally
stepping on his foot now growls
why can't you be careful?" while he
looks at the injured member as if it
were disabled for life.
This is specially true on an excur-
sion boat or train where each individ-
ual's as tired and exhausted and irri-
table as only person can be who's
been spending "long, happy day in
the country"
Everyone is in everyone else's way,
and the man with the dress suit case
and the woman with the telescope
who sit in the same seat of the rail
way coach conflict as much as their
luggage does.
An innocent-looking girl polxes
strange man in the back with her UNI
brella entirely without meaning it and
receives such a fierce look in return
that she shrinks under it, drops her
sunshade to the floor and let's it stay
there the remainder of the trip.
Two young women who were trying
to find something on time table in a
car Sunday night amused the observ-
ers as much as anything could amuse
those weary ones.
One ran her finger down the column
of the train she was looking up, while
the other ran hers across to meet it
in the column of the station from
which they were to start. Both ran
off the track, however, or missed con-
nections in some other way so fire.
quently that the young women finally
decided more careful method of dis
covery would be necessary.
They, therefore, produced any num-
Der of pins from various mysterious
portions of their dress and marked
their progress with these. This time
they succeeded in meeting, but to
their disgust the train thus discovered
with SO much labor was morning
one, when they were looking for an
evening one; and so it had to be gone
all over again, and the flushed faces
of the seekers bore witness to the
annoyance they felt.
The travelling public when it reads
at all reads fitfully. and the lightest
sort of literature; it runs to necker-
chiefs rather than collars; it is hat
less and dusty and cindery, and bad
tempered and unattractive generally,
and no one blames it at all; for every
one else is in exactly the same condi-
ton.
Two months from now the woman
who travels will be a picture in her
short skirt and neat little jacket and
hat. just now she's anything but
pretty, and she knows 1t and doesn't
care at all.

A billion N Year ON Armies and war.
During the decade which is closing
the present century there have been
over dozen wars, and they have cost
more than 2o0,O00 lives and many hun
dreds of millions of dollars. The most
important Of these are the war be-
tween China and Japan in 1894 and
1895, the war between Turkey and
Greece in 1897, the war between Spain
and Cuba, the war between Spain and
the United States, the war between
the United States and the Filipinos,
and the war between Great Britain
and the South African republic. At
the present time several wars are go
ing on and more are threatened.
Great Britain has not yet conquered
the Beers; the United States has not
yet conquered the Filipinos; Great
Britain is fighting in Ashanti, and the
situation in China offers all kinds of
complications. The nations are spend
ing over billion dollars year on
their armies and wars.-Philadelph

seeond-Hand and Marked. Neverths-
less 1t Is the Proper
Thing.

"Here am" said the June bride, as
she was unpacking her presents after
the wedding trip, with seven different
coats-of-arms on my silver, and yet
none of them belongs to me or my hus-
band. So much for the fashion Of maxi
Ing presents of old silver at weddings.
It win at least be pleasure to look up
the crests In some work on heraldry
and speculate as to the probable own
ers of my silver at some future time. A
mustard pot, four salt cellars. large
pepper cruet and cream jug are the
seven pieces marked with crests that
are all different and plainly belonged
to no branch of the family" says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
: times have indeed changed when a
girl would accept so gratefully some
body else's old silver, however valuable
itmight be. Butthere is nothing smart
err to-day for wedding present than
this old English plate, and even If It's
battered little bit and rather out of
shape, the girl who receives Old Eng
lish silver may know that she is getting
something that was not only costly,
but is regarded as the finest thing that
she can have. 1t is always little In
teresting to speculate how they hap
pened to get out of the possession of
the family that owned them before.
Whether they were stolen by the serv-
ants or sold by impoverished younger
sons, it is never possible to tell. 1t is
certain, though, that they are to be
gotten in this country only by paying
large prices for them"
The most popular designs in table
silver to-day are the reproductions Of
the Georgian or other old patterns.
Some effort has been made to put the
Gothic patterns, also popular, upon the
market, but they have to struggle
against the general objection to all
articles Of Gothic design for domestic
use. It Is surprise to most persons
seeking small silver, that the makers do
not reproduce more generally than
they do the Georgian patterns in GER
tain forms that are always in demand
The open work silver mustard pot, TO-
instance, inclosing colored glass bowl,
salt cellars Of the same general design,
and other similar small articles are al
ways very much in demand. yet II is
difficult to find them in the stores not
devoted to the sale Of old silver.
One silversmith explained It the
other day by saying that limitations of
these old pieces made 1t impossible for
makers to invent their own distinctive
patterns. which they were always
anxious to do, as 1t kept their own de-
signers employed and enabled them to
keep their prices up to the standard by
having something to sell which could
not be bought anywhere else.

EVIDENCE WAS AGAINST HIM.
Young Husband Could Not Convince
His Wife He Had Quit
Smoking.

He had been married only two weeks
and at the brides persuasion he had
given up smoking, says the Indian
apolis News. He told his fellow clerks
at the freight Office all about it, how
his wife had insisted upon and how
great the sacrifice had been to him.
He dwelt on the fact that he had never
known what a slave he was TO the
habit and that each succeeding day
the appetite became stronger and
stronger. But he intended to hold out,
hard as the struggle was, as 1t gave
his wife such pleasure. He could hold
out till the end of the honeymoon, at
any rate.
He told the boys that his wife would
visit him at the office next day and
he would Introduce her to all of them.
1t happened the morning that she
came in that the newly married man
was not at his desk. He had been
called to another part of the build
ing for a minute or two and it was
in those fatal minutes that the boys
got in their dreadful work. They had
carefully saved all their cigar ends for
several days, In expectation Of this
visit, and placing them on the desk
they conducted the bride to her hus-
bands chair. A moment later the hus-
band appeared. She looked at the
"snipes" piled up on the desk and then,
with a pained look at her husband,

The Japanese have a faculty for de-
signing novelties that are beautiful.
They are not satisfied with simply
placing flowers in finger bowls, but
have cunningly prepared bits of wood,
which, when placed in water, expand
into oddly formed and queerly colored
flowers. When the bowls are before
the guests the bits of wood are put in
them, and the diners are entertained
by seeing them expand into buds and
blossoms. The chrysanthemum, the

HOW TO DRESS PROPERLY.
II IL Easy for Women to Do This II
the PROPHECIES are OBJ
served.

For bali the essential quality of a
gown is its freshness. The only differ
ence between the dress at BAH and an
informal dance is in the degree Of ele-
gance, says Ladies' Home Journal.
For large dinners women reserve
their finest gowns. They are subject
to closer inspection and risk no deface-
ment as at dances.
Gloves are removed at table and re-
sumed in the drawing-room or not, as
one pleases.
Dainty, diaphanous materials are
most becoming to young faces.
Young girls make distinction in
their dress for little dinners by wear
Ing lace or chiffon sleeves with their
low-necked gowns.
A hostess shows good taste In dress
Ing somewhat more simply than her
guests.
1t is reversal of the proprieties
when mother dresses her daughters
in more expensive style than herself.
In the street elaborate dressing is in
bad taste.
For church woman's dress. while
suitable to her station, should be so in
conspicuous as to prove no distraction
to her fellow-worshipers. and never
suggest even by Its tastefulness that ID
has occupied her thoughts overmuch.
A woman's appearance must suggest
that quality expressed in the slang of
the day as well groomed."
For driving and coaching we now
initiate the good sense and practical
utility Of English women's dress. No

but garments that fear neither sun.

the plans show the territorial bill
has ever had visible effect on the
energetical powers of the officers of
the club.
The grand stand will be 200 feet
long and the center will be exactly
under the wire. A comfort able
baud stand will be built across the
Judges stand, which will be lowered
50 as to allow the Judges to see
which horse is really the winner and
at the same time give the public a
chance to see what is going on at
the other side of the track.
The Jockey Club will have its re.
ceiving quarters in an elegantly
furnished balcony above the grand
stand. There will be a big lanai
and in the back ground toilet rooms
for ladies aud refreshment (7) rooms
for the winners, The officers in
charge this year have placed strict
tabu on liquid refreshment, move
which will meet the hearty approval
OF all-especially the horses.
The grand stand is to be built in
such manner that the track and
the races can be seen from every
seat and there will be no necessity
to climb the benches and spoil the
hats of the ladies in front.
No provisions have been made to
stop the usual "hollering," but a
gramophone will be there ready to
swallow all expressions made by the
excited sportsmen, and some OF
them will feel cheap when few
days after the race is over, con-
cert is given aud the machine tells
