From the Chicago News.


Somebody has made the assertion that
the luxury of the present tines is to be
blamed for all the troubles to which man
kind is heir. and that for this reason it is
necessary TO return 10 the simple customs
of the good old times"
In ancient Germany the simplicity of life
and habits remained longest. until incteas-
ing trade brought growing luxury The
crusades carried thousands across the sea
into the splendid Orient, whence luxury
soon found its way into the countries of
Europe. During the thirteenth century
the first silk merchants came from Tus-
cany and Lombardy to Paris. Even to-
day the name of the street where they
lived is Rue des Lombards. Venice fur
nished plumes, Jewels rugs and other
magnificent products of the Orient.
King Wengeslaus of Bohemia had a gar
ment made In 1867 which cost not less than
$4,000 of American money of the present
day. The members of the rich Italian
families of Medici and Borgia We're also
exceedingly ostentatious. Giuliano di Me-
dici wore, in 1859, on the occasion OF a
tournament in Florence, a costume which
cost $4,000. I4ucretia BOrgia's dover on
the occasion of her marriage with Alton
so of Este contained 200 chemises of which
each one cost 100 ducats.
Charles the Bod of Burgundy, that he
roic giant owned coats upon which the
cred in diamonds. Each one of these poet
ical garments. was worth a fortune, the
chronicler speaking of 100000 ducats as the
cost of each coat. Upon his campaigns
the Duke carried not less than 400 boxes
filled with articles of his wardroba. King
Amadeus VI of Savoy vas another os-
tentatious monarch.
Silk stockings did not come into vogue
until the period Of Queen Eliza beth Of Eng
land II is reported of her that she wore
the first silken hosiery knitted by hand.
Queen Bess of glorious memory, by the
way. was an example Of feminine vanity
as is proved by the fact that she had nor
less than 5000 dresses of various deerel s
of magnihcence.
Jewelry worn by fashionable woman cf
those days is almost incredible when il is
borne In mind that a full-hedged court cos
tune was of such weight that IL couli
stand upright if the fair wearer was not
inside of it. The bridal dress of Maria OF
Medic was ornamented with $1,000 paris
and 5000 diamonds. To this embarrass-
ment Of riches must be added the pearls
and jewels around neck and wrists and
worn in the coiffure.
Catherine of Medici and her SON Henry
III of France, were other examples of ex-
IRENE luxury, the French King appearing
in 1876 at the court of B.ois in coat which
was ornamented with goo yards OF COS "
Mechlin lace.

added. 1T is a matter of barter and sale.

When he died, not long ago. I found
among his papers a contract which he had

La Comtesse was educated in Paris

Just at the moment wells are to some
extent in disfavor as some wise people
attribute to their use no less horror
than red noses" And yet the antiquity
of wells must be enormous. Modesty,
cunning, beauty. must all from the very
earliest ages have seen their usefulness,
allurement and even necessity. Nor have
they always been confined TO women. II
is well known that Tennyson himself in
public occasionally employed this convert
lent article when annoyed by excessive
curiosity or demonstrations of interest.
For instance, at a crowded railway sra
ton many years ago, when mobbed by
vulgar multitude of admirers. who could
not fail to recognize mis- towering form and
striking features, he suddenly drew from
his Volumnous coat big Veil}, which he
wore till the departure of his train.
Mountaineers and travellers frequently
find veil an absolutely Indispensable pro-
lection against the glare of the sun on
snow or ice. Without this precaution
blindness would be the inevitable result
All who suffer from weak eyes or regard
their complexion would be miserable If
the inexorable DEGREES OF fashion ever con-
demned the use of wells. Moreover, from
the standpoint of art they are highly eff
fective. They half reveal and half con-
ceal the face and therefore become in.
fnitely suggestive and leave any amount
spread its wings. As the old Greek prov
erb tells us. the half is sometimes more
than the whole.
Novelists who tell us all with the crud-
est rudest realism and leave no scope for
the play of fancy will never charm like
the novelist VINO only indicates a situation
here and there and throws a beautiful
veil now and then over scenes or incidents
which are best passed by or consigned TO
a silence which is far more eloquent than
any words The poet who loads his pic
ture with idle and embarrassing details
or lays on local color with a trowel can
not produce 1.-THE of the effect produced
by the poet who hints and drapes his
subject, and INDUCES (where the treat
ment seems to demand IN in the enchant-
ing softness OF half lights and shadows
People like to read between the lines ana
draw their own conclusions and not be
entirely relieved from the agreeable exer-
else of reasoning and Judgment and sur
mise.
Therefore they enjoy the poets veil that
they may hove the pleasure OF guessing
and wondering and peoDling win their
own creations the regions beyond the veil
So art is only following in the lines of ma
ture when fashion wisely dictates The

which restore to age its departed youth
and remove youth into the fairyland and
the poetry of distance. Can any one con-

USEFULNESS OF THE GREAT LAKES
Commerce in IncaIcuIabIe Amounts
Which Crosses Their Waters.
From Ainslee's Magazine.

From Ainsee's Magazine.
The great lakes have become a great
artery of our richest commercial blood.
One-third of the population of the United
States is dependent on these lakes for
their export and import trade. This wa
terway taps the richest and most prosper
GUS agricultural territory on this continent
of ours, together with our most productive
mines, and 1t is worth while noting that
within a radius of 400 miles of Cleveland
lies one-half of the population of the Unit
ed States. II is a well-esi abllshed fact
that deepwater transportation is, and nee
essarily must be, far below the cost of
transportation by rail-; indeed, it is COM
puted that the cost of water transporter
ton by steam when the voyage is of any
considerable length, is about one-quartsr
rail, while by sail boat 1t is only one
eighth of the latter.
As this question of transportation de-
termines 10 a great extent the existence
or non-eXistence of a possible industry
and enhances or diminishes the value of
every article of export in proportion TO Its
efficiency and economy, the battle cry Of
the West for twenty feet of water be-
tween Duluth and the sea" is no great
