GROWTH OF HOTEL HABIT.
LOndOners Have of Late Been Flock
ing to obstetrics az Places
of Residence.

The growth of the hotel habit in
London has of late been attracting
good deal of public attention, says
recent report. Twenty-Five years
ago London had probably the worst
hotels of any of the great capitals
of the world To-day it has some of
the best. People now live in hotels
during the season instead of taking
town houses. Those who still have
London mansions on their hands
patronize the hotels for meals. Not
content with dining out, your small
woman of to-day must have her aft
ternoon tea at Claridge's, her lunch
at the Carlton and some ultra-smart
people have been trying even to Gre
ate craze for going out for break
fast.
The 20 leading hotels of London
represent capital of something like
S35,OOO,0OO. During a busy month they
accommodate about S,4OO guests every
night and find employment for $500
servants. The Gordon hotels repre-
sent an investment of $17,OOO,OOO and
secured a profit last year of $7SO.OOO.
The Cecil is run on a scale greater
than the whole government of more
than one South American state.

OUT WITH THE TIDE.
An Illustrative Instance of How
Far 1t VIII Carry Objects
I'm Short Time.

"Few persons have any idea of how
fast the tide runs or of how far it will
carry an object in a very few hours"
said the captain of one of the dock
departments steam launches, accord
ing to the New York Times. Not
very long ago a raft of 40 or 50 piles
broke up and went adrift one night
at the foot of East Twenty fourth
street. AS these piles cost all the
way from eight dollars to $40 apiece,
they were worth chasing, so just as
soon as the loss was discovered in the
morning / started out.
"The search continued down the
East river and along the Brooklyn
side through Buttermilk channel, but
without results. Over on the south
shore of Governors island we found
eight or ten Of the missing sticks.
We ran along down by Bay Ridge
and had about decided to abandon
our efforts, when we reached Fort
Hamilton. But we thought we might
as well make a good job of it, and
little way farther on, just beyond
the Narrows and around on the north
side of Gravesend bay, we found
about half of the hayward piles
They had travelled down there, a dis
lance of about ten miles, on one tide,
and | thought at the time that it is
small wonder that so many drowned
bodies are never recovered in these
parts"

GUARDED BY FLOWERS.
An Equestrian Statue in Germany
Thus Protected from ROmping
Children.

a pretty story, which shows an adj
mirable trait common to almost all
German children, is told the Youths
Companion by a recently returned
traveller.
In a German city she saw a fine
equestrian statue in bronze, around
the base of which bloomed a gay lit
tie garden.
The visitor exclaimed with delight
over both the flowers and the statue,
and expressed some wonder that the
blossoms were left entirely unprotect-
ed by either railing or notice.
"In our country l am afraid some
of the children might be tempted to
picl, flower now and then, as this
seems aside from the BUSY part Of the
city" she said to her German friend.
ooh, that would never be here" said
the friend. in amazement. "Why, the
garden was planted because the chill
dren would mount to the back of the
horse and ride, and the bronze was
getting the wrong sort of polish; but
when the flowers began to come up
there was no more trouble.
"Our children are very fearful lest
they should hurt any little growing
thing, and they would see the green
.peeping through the earth and not
take another step toward the tempt
ing horse"

DUTIES OF SECRaIhNI HAY.
Some of the Many and Varied Re
spOnsibiIItIes of the chief
Cabinet Officer.

The secretary of states duties are
more ceremonious than those Of any
other cabinet member. At the New
Year reception he presents the entire
diplomatic corps to the president
He then returns to his own home and
entertains the corps-with its dukes,
marquises, counts, yiscounts, barons
and other nobles-at a magnificent
luncheon, says Ladies' Home Journal.
With great ceremony he will from
time to time personally introduce to
the president all new diplomats ac-
credited to this country. He reserves
one forenoon in each week for the
reception at his Office of ministers
and charges d'affaires. He also at
tends to the correspondence between
the president and the emperors,
kings, sultans and other rulers of for
eign states. When a royal child is
born he frames a letter of congratu-
lation to the parent. When a royal
parsonage dies it is he who dispatches
this nations formal message of con-
dolence. \ clerk in the state depart
ment copies these polite missiyes
upon large sheets of gilt-edge paper,
in a faultless cOpperplate hand. y
messenger takes them to the white
house for the presidents signature.
They are then returned to the sec
rotary of state, who seals them with
the great seal of the United States.

THE DRAGON SCREEN.
Wonderful Porcelain Shield That
Hides Traces Of'sanualism in
the City of Picking.

Very few people even in Picking seem
to have heard of it. For, of course,
till lately none were allowed to drive
along the excellent carriage road by
the lake through the parklike grounds
interspersed with rookeries, says the
Cornhill. The screen is perhaps 20
feet high, and of porcelain through
out, and on it in high relief a row of
dragons standing on their tails, and
possibly five feet high, old gold, dull
red, cream, dark blue, then over again,
the two dark blues confronting each
other in the center. What was that
screen meant to shelter from the
world? Now behind it there is only a
scene of frantic desOlation of the most
complete vandalism-trees hacked and
broken, marble columns RACED to the
ground, images torn from their lotus
seats and cloven in two. Here
broken head lying in the grass, there
a gilded hand, and behind, a little to

FINERY NOW IN VOGUE.
That Are Noticed i'm the Sea-
sons Costumes.

Many of the dainty new flannel waists
are ornamented with French knots in
contrasting or self-colored silk.
Panne velvet, plain and fancy is used
for entire waists, as well as for trim
ming purposes, says the Brooklyn
Eagle.
For autumn are seen gowns of russell
or golden brown, combined with cream
cloth and fastened with gilt buttons.
An effort to introduce the raglan
shoulder is not proving popular.
The new girdles in silver and gold are
exquisite. One design in silver is
composed of alternating links in rose
pattern and a pair of entwned leaves
Another shows large discs Of gold and
silver scales, a carbuncle being set
in every other disc. A rope girdle TO
be correct must have 4 pendant in the
form of a rose of gold.
A fancy of the season is to carry
little French bag made from the same
fabric as the gown and lined with satin
to match with chain and clasp of gold
set with imitation gems. One such bag
of chamois-colored cloth was lined
with same tint Of liberty satin. the
monogram Of the wearer being worked
in silk in coffee and chamois tints and
the gold clasp set with a topaz.
\ pretty black stock is made Of black
silk and black lace, the lace being dot
ted with small cut steel beads.
Rufaes of ostrich feathers are much
wider at the back than at the ends, and
small capes resembling pelerines are
made Of white marabout with stoles of
white fur and lace combined.
Very pretty toques are made of
pheasants' breasts and wings and sea
gulls' feathers are utilized in the same
way.
The latest nouveau art brooch sug-
gests Il moss rosebud with single per-
feet river pearl in the center and leaves
and feathery effects in bronze hue of
gold.
Repousse lace is the latest addition
to the list, and, as the name suggests,
the figures have the effect of being
hammered down. This lace is a deli
cate variety and especially adapted for
frills and founces. For bands and pam
els filet or fsherman's net is a favor

NAL ventures from his bedroom, deep
underground, he sees a familiar
image mocking him at the front door,
and he hurries out to confront the
impudent intruder when he is pinned
TO the ground with an arrow.
But the most effective method is
what the Indians call the rain hunt.
AS soon as the steady downpour of
summer rain begins every Navajo
who can walk repairs to the prairie
dog village with hoes, sharp sticks,
or any digging implement. With these
they hollow out trenches, that will
lead the storm water into as many
burrows as possible. Soon a little
stream is pouring down each small
home, and the inmate, much disturbed,
pops out to see what the matter can
be. Many of the animals remain I'M
derground until they are drowned,
and their bodies float to the surface.
After such a hunt, in which many
pounds of prairie dogs are generally
secured. there is feast for many days
in the Navajo huts.
