ChiIdren's Pongee Suits.

For children certain ready made and very
stylish little suits in figured and plain
pongee may be recommended. Nothing is
more painful to a child than to be too
warmly clad, and for both boys and girls
a loose pongee play garment in the prevail
Ing dust shade should not be omitted.
Dressed tan leather is the best medium for
warm weather shoes
Two smart little suits for boys of three
and five are of brown dotted pongee and
checked linen with white canvas bands. A
yoke, cuff bands and belt of the embroid-
cred material give a baby dressiness to
the smaller boy, who wears over white silk
socHs the low patent leather slippers con-
sidered so stylish for young fry. But cap
tivat!ng as they are, none but the strong
est ankles should take to these little sam
dals, whose insufficient support sometimes
brings on troubles that require years Of
care to do away with For all young chill
dren high boots will be found the most
sensible footgear.
Lads and lassles who suffer most from
the heat will be made much happier by
ponSee underwear.

Linen skirts are very handsome inset

Bathing gowns do not vary much from
those worn last season. Skirts are short
and trim. Instead of being barred with
braid they are decorated with rows of or

UNDER THE GAsLIGHT.

The drama, "Under the Gaslight," :" was played before a large audience at the Douglas Opera House last Friday evening. Mir. Geo. T. Snow, who played Byke, was in his usual good form and the audience was we'll pleased. The stage effects passed off pleasantly amid hearty applause. Charlie Fremont 'Plunk"-rendered couple of selec- tions on the banjo, and was heartily en- cored. Charlie is an artist.
 Under the present management the entertainments are getting better and the attendance is 'correspondingIy larg. CT. Next Friday evening the beautiful sketch by Washington Irving, entitled Rip Van Winkle," will be presented. This will be treat.
 We can say, without fear of contra diction, that the West does not contain an actor who equals Geo. T. Snow as "Rip." Mir. Snow was with Joseph lief ferson (whose fame is world wide), for a number of years and what better aid could be had in the interpretation of character. We suggest that our read CTS should bear in mind that this will be no bum, clap-trap rendition of this play, but one that all will enjoy and appreciate.

SAFELY BEAoHED.
THE TOPEKA IS BROUGHT TO TREADwELL
 FOR REPA1Rs.-N A BAD CONDITION.

Last Thursday morning at o'clock the poor old Topeka was pulled off of the rocks at Sullivan Island and at 2 D. m., F hours later, she was safely landed on the Treadwell beach, The steamers Flosie and Rustler constitut- ed the escort on the trip and furnished the motive power.
 When the Topeka with her consorts hove in sight down the channel and long blast from her whistle announced her arrival, a large number of curious and anxious friends gathered on the Treadwell wharf to bid her welcome.
 Her general appearance was surely discouraging as she slowly dragged through the water. The Rustler was ahead, valiantly tugging on a stout hawser, and the Flosie was back near the stern, pumping life into her from that quarter. All that the poor old bat tered Topeka could do to aid matters was to emit an occasional short grunt of satisfaction from her steam whistle.
 After much shouting and footing she was foated up by the side of the Clutch, that other relic of the failure of the government to provide light houses for the waters of 5. E. Alaska, and as the tide went out she sank slowly into the sand.
 It was surely wonderful feat to bring that boat from Sullivan Island, and her injuries are greater than it was at first supposed. Her bottom is com pletely riddled. Her engine bed is broken. Her machinery and her house below the rail are badly injured. From present appearances it would seem probable that the Topeka will never be anything but wreck.

To the ordinary onlooker an impres sion of almost sensational calibre might have been carried away from the Doug las pier when the Lone Fisherman land- ed there Juneau bound at 2:15 p. m., yesterday. The cause of this specula- tion centered about two very conspic- uous looking young couples. Evident ly they had matrimonial aspirations, judging from the lack of interest man ifested in anything else around, save themselves clear case of winning on pairs. One of the gallants did, it is said, peer wistfuIly out on the float as much as to say, "What if the other girl should be here, and get the idea that I am eloping?" But such fears were sud denly allayed by the shrill toot of the whistle, and the other party gave a sigh of relief and ejackulated (not exclaim- ed), "What we have we hold" The par ticulars may be ascertained from Mir. Geo. Hain and Mir. Jack Raue.

A MASTERPIECE BY cLoD1oN

A convent would apear the most m.
 likely of places to shelter master
 piece by Clodion, but a most import
 ant work by the eighteenth century
 sculptor. whose inspiration was sc
 pronouncedly pagan, has been brought
 to light in a convent in the Latin quar-
 ter. Its history is rather curious. The
 building in which the Clodion has re- mained unappreciated,a and in which, in- deed, its presence has been resented for over a century, was not originally intended to serve as convent It was constructed by Brougniart for Princess Louise of Condo, and gallantly decor ated by sundry of the first artists of the day, Clodion included, who execut- ed bass-relief, of very considerable dimensions, representing a number of fauns, nymphs and cupids at play It fell out that destiny was unlsind to Mlle de Condo. She lost her heart to M. de la Gervaisais, who was sev- eral years her junior, and of no birth to espouse a lady of her rank They exchanged some very pretty love let ters, which were published not long ago by M Paul Violet, but the opposition to their marriage being insurmounta- ble, the princess renounced the world, took the vows and became the Mother Superior of a community of Benedic- tine nuns who took up their quarters in the newly erected palace. The Clodon was entombed. The expression is literally accurate for, at period which is not known with precision, the masters work, condmened as a source of offence to pious eyes, was hidden from view by plaster wall specially erected to mask it. Iconoclasm has cf- ten been more drastic in it's methods, so the nuns may be pardoned. Still, put for an accident the very existence of the Clodion might long have remain unsuspected. During the lombard ment of Paris by the Germans the con vent was struck by a shell, which brought down the paster wall and showed the bass-relief, happily without damaging it. The work has since been allowed to see the light of day, with the result that that most interchangeable of searchers M. Lenotre, the author of "Vieiles Maisons Vieux Papiers," got wind of it's existence, and called the at- tention of the Society of Lovers of Old Paris to his find. All risk of the Clodion coming to harm is now at an end, but what will be it's ultimate fate is uncertain, as though the city Of Do rie jr a1,xin,s to acnllire DOSSeSSiOn of it, the price demanded--GS, ,00o-1s a correspondence of The Pail Mall Gazette.

TEA SHOPS OF BOMBAY.
Work of the frances.

Apropos of the Indian Viceroy's sug-
 gestion at the famous meeting on the Assam Labor bill, that the planters should relieve some of their present difficulties by exploiting India. "The Indian Daily News describes a great industry which has sprung up in Bonn bay in recent years, and which ap-
 pears to have been quite overlooked by
 those who are promoting the Indian
 market for Indian tea. In want of a
 better term to distinguish it, we shall
 call it the Trance Industry" from the
 people who are chiefly engaged in it..
 Some years ago the Parsees of Bombay
 were much distressed by the trials and
 disabilities Of the followers of Zoroas-
 ter who still remained in Persia, and
 started a fund, which, we believe, Is
 still in existence, to relieve them. The
 forms of relief were several, the chief
 being the support of an agitation to
 represent matters at the court of Per
 sa, and this we know met with great success, the lot of the Persia who is not a follower of Mahomet being much bet
 ter to- day than it was some years ago.
 Among the minor forms of relief was assistance given to poor and needy
 "guebers' Gas they were called) to em- igrate to India. These men arrived in small patches at Bombay with their wives and other goods, and then the problem arose as to the manner in which they were to earn aliveihood. They soon settled it themselves. They nf 4 like Jews or Armenians in appearance, thrifty, and with the instinct of the small shopkeeper greatly developed. All they asked from their coreligion- ists was to give them a start, and they promised to do the rest themselves and keep from beggary.
 As "gueber" is term of reproach, these men were poDularly called Frances" to distinguish them from the Indian Parsees. They distributed themselves over the city, and opened small shops for the sale of acrated wa ters, tea and coffee, to be drunk on the premises, and cheap cheroots to go away with The idea caught on'' as the. Americans say, like hot cakes These shops were in the proximity of large laD DOT ydruS, anu the laDOTerS, whether Goanese, Christian Parsee, 'Mahometan or Maharatta Hindoo, got in the way of droping in for a cup of Trance tea which was sold for two pice, this including milk and sugar The staff who worked the shop consist ed of the old man, his wife and a youngster or two: no servants. It will be seen that the utmost economy was observed, and when was added to this tireless industry it was only natural that the enterprise should thrive and gradually develop The Trance was man of business, and recog- nized before long the directions in which he could expand his shop Tea was his mainstay, but tea alone is not sufficient to satisfy, hungry man. A loaf of bread of really good quality was added to the cup of tea. and the lot sold for three pice, the purchaser hav- ing the option of taking biscuit instead of bread. The customers increased in numbers, and the shop grew in size un- til it assumed the proportions of a de-

cent restaurant, where there was plen-
 ay and clean, if al title rough. The
 Iranees popularity grew with his pros
 perity. Some of the more ambitious established regular cook shops, into
 which the poor but respectable Euro pean and Eurasinn was not ashamed to go for a cheap and satisfying meal. These men are perfectly indispensable to the laboring population, especially such as have to leave their homes be- fore daybreak and before it is possible to get any food ready. As far as we have been able to ascertain, adds the journal, the tea used by the france is what they sold in the Bombay market as dust tea, and presumably came from China. He had to use it because it was the cheapest he could get, and Indian tea was hardly pushed at all in Bombay. We have no accurate statis- tics to guide us, and cannot, of course, tell how four years of plague have af- fected the number of the shops, but we do not think we are making an exag- gerated estimate when we put the number of these small taa shops down at one thousand and half of them at least consume several thousand pounds of tea in the month. Here, then our tea planters have acertain and large field of operations, and should lose no time in starting. From the London Globe.
