HYDE'S THICK HIDE.
Perforated by an Oregon Republican,
who Shows up His FavOritiSm.
Lawen, Greg, July 12, 1901.

Lawen, Orego July 12, 1901.
Mr. EDITOR: Mr.. John Hyde was an
applicant for the position of Director
Of U, S. Census, but Senator Hanna
would not endorse him, so his efforts
were fruitless.
| have thought that as my friend is
endorsed by Senator Hanna Gas well as
other staunch Republicans) is perhaps
the reason Mr.. Hyde will not have her
promoted although he says she has
never given trouble, directly or indi-
rectly
The chief of the division says her
work is all right, both saying she gives
satisfaction, and yet will not give her
justice. She is not a pet Of this term.
Is il justice to her friends, strong Re-
publicans, or is il justice to her to al
low the pets" to be pushed ahead Of
the clerks in the classified service who
have mad experience of years? They
refuse to give her and others a good
salary. The Lamb" in his room was
promoted three times in four months
last year. Is this justice to others in
general, and my friend i'm particular?
| read your paper with interest. Go
on with the good work, and perhaps
my worthy friend may receive justice
and be given that which she deserves
a good promotion.
My Senators and Members are inter
ceding for her advancement. | am a
good Republican, and have always
been, and urge with all earnestness
that she be given a good salary. The
party workers should be given favor,
and have done enough for the Repub-
lican party to have this request grant
ed
BY the way she was the means Of
ny two boys casting their first vote for
President Mckinley She brought
them out for him. and they, no doubt,
will always vote the Republican ticket,
as ! have done.
The President, think, ought to give
her a good place. Do you not think
so, and especially as she is in the clas-
slfied service, which makes such an
advancement possible,

FASHIONS AT THE SEASIDE. IN
THE MOUNTAINS AND AT
COUNTRY SEATS.

PARIS, August 31.-Trouville de-
mands dress toilets during the grand
quinzaine'' of the racing season.
These light ethereal and fluffy dresses
have usually a special character of
their own. They have more '1aisser
aller' about them than those which are
admired on Partisan race courses.
Dresses of embroidery, lace and lawn,
require some detail which gives them
a SO to speak seaside style; a leather
belt, a simple sunshade, or one made
of Normandy madras; a hat made of
embroidery, or ar enormous Char
lotte'' Of muslin on the head put the
stamp on the general effect. But, gen.
orally speaking. the triumph Of lace
and embroidery dresses this year is
unprecedented.
At the Seaside.
In the morning, on the beach or the
golf links, dresses are delightfully."-

give the fullness. are the height of
style, and the supreme note is white.
With these toilets the bright waist
bands of last year are not worn. All
the light materials used for. these
| dresses are, above all. extremely sup
| pie. This is the quality indispensable
to the fashions of to-day. It may be
even said that in the contest going on
between the tailor-made costume and
/ the dressmaker costume the latter has
been the winner this season. This is
so absolutely a fact that there are few
Paris firms that make exclusively tail
or-made costumes. Most Of them at
tempt tn dress" and succeed in cre-
| ating models devoid Of the stiffness and
hardness of the tailor-made costume
former years. Partisan influence has
in this r.atter prevailed over English
influence and turned out tailor-made
costumes al once feminine and stylish.
Fashion has departed from Paris like
all her distinguished guests. and has
taken up her quarters by the seaside,
among the mountains and at the coun-
try seats-everywhere, in fact, where
she is hoEored and petted. Does this.
however, mean that fashion is incom-
| patfble with joyous and unconventional
moods? BY no means. A sight of the
neighbor,y relations of good fellowship
! between the of the villas and
| country seats will prove it. Day after
day informal gatherings are organized.
and it requires a veritable genius on
the part of a mistress Of a house to en-

the past that the style Of an original

AMERICAN FASHIONS LEAD
IN EUROPEAN CITIES.
Paris, Saturday.

Paris, Saturday.
Our children are at present enjoying
a real period of happiness as regards
vhelr clothing. All that was former
~ cumbersome and oppressive to their
little bodies has been definitely sup
pressed and removed. Thanks to their
present light and suitable clothing, the
movements of their bodies are unre-
strained.
For little girls the most suitable gar
ment is the American blouse, cut large
and the f~ullness kept in by a leather
belt or by a ribbon placed low around
the waist. Nothing is more graceful
for little girls from the age OF three
to seven or eight years. These blouses
should be made decollete and with
short sleeves, or, according TO the sea-
son, with high camps and inner
sleeves, If prudent people do not care
TO copy the English syle. Large en-
broldered berthas, in Irish point, cut
Either low or high, If the child wears a
camp, complete the toilet.
Inner sleeves are made like the other
pnes OF white, blue, yellow or black. A
straw hat, ornamented with large bows
or ribbon or of mousseline de sole, gives
a pretty effect. A white petticoat of
percale and short skirt ornamented with
more or less elaborate embroidery, the
indispensable drawers also ornamented
with embroidery, and the little maiden
is clothed.
Much attention is now paid TO the
couture of children. The long hair is
drawn up on one side and confined with
a large bow of ribbon placed well for
ward, a large bandeau crosses the fore
head and the hair is drawn upon eithe-
side with two buckles or with a little
ribbon, generally white.
For little boys the Russian blouse
has succeeded in general to the Long
white baby. robe. This blouse, usually
short behind and in front, with or with
out reyers, is made IN linen Ipopiin or
lightweight cloth or in liberty velvet.
These last two materials have the pref
test varieties of shades.
The large collars in Irish point har-
monize perfectly with the Russian
blouse with its pleats that are held in
place by a leather belt.
The large sailor collars of linen,
trimmed with fine lace are also very
charming for young children. A little
later on, when ane must think of put
ting little boys into knee breaches. the
sailor style is always most appropriate.
The breeches are left loose above the
knee and the very full ones are no
longer worn. The long breeches, called
elephants legs" are not worn until
later, when the boy is seven or eight
years old. They wear either the'puffy

pleasing to the eye. and in the foliage
flowers OF all kinds of bright colors are
struck.
These are refreshments that the
eighteenth century would not have dis
avowed, but which were unknown p ~
for the best of al reasU6s.
Dress must, OF course, be in har.
mony with this style of reception;
toilets Of snowy lawn. hats in graceful
curves, with superb tufts of feathers.
and shoes with red or white heels
would be in their proper place among
the towering strawberries; toilets Of
India muslin and printed muslins.
capelines of Italian straw, colorcd
shoes, a loose collar, and a slightly
shortened skirt are favorable to these
rustic gatherings. But a woman OF
fashion In the twentieth century excels
In the art of choosing what is suitable
to the hour, the moment and the COM
pany.

with short knee breaches. The round
collar and a fancy cravat make them
look very attractive. A white straw
hat with a simple ribbon completes this
costume.
One sees also many Scotch costumes
with the kilt pleated in Scotch tartan,
a long blue or black Highlander's
jacket and a can bonnet. This costume
when correct and made with taste, is
very pretty. 1t is neither fantastic nor

shirt or one drawn down under a broad
silk belt. Long or short, the knee
breeches are fastened at both sides,
which makes it easier to put them On
than when fastened in front.
Boys go into socks very late. Their
very long stockings come half way up
their legs.
From 8 to 10 years Of age they are
dressed in a manner to resemble little
men. Their coats are amply cut. with
a waistcoat OF the same material and

DESCRIPTION OF DRESSES.

. Charming simplicity characterizes
this dinner dress in Louis XVI style.
The entire gown is made Of embroid-
cred mousseline de sole. The skirt,
which is very plain, has all the fulness
drawn toward the back, where 1t falls
into a long, fluffy train. Around the
bottom OF the skirt is set a plain rufle
of the mousseline de sole, upon which

mediocre, and can only be made wei
by special tailors, and generally in Eng
land.
The question OF aprons has special IN
terest in the consideration OF child
ren's costumes. II is well to start with
the idea that an apron is not an orns
ment, but an object of necessity. In
truth, 1t is not easy TO discern the util-
ity OF making these aprons very ornate
or elegant.

why Donkey. Don't Shy.

Horses shy, because they are de-
scended from ancestors accustomed to
roam over plains, where any tuft of
grass or bush might conceal an enc
my waiting to spring on them. I'm
der these circumstances they must
often have saved themselves by sud
denly starting away on observing any
sudden or unexpected movement, or
on coming without warning upon
some strange object. This is supposed
to have become a habit which has
descended to their domesticated de-
scendants. The donkey. on the other
hand, is descended from animals
which dwelt in the hills, among which
there were precipices and dangerous
paths; hence the sure-footedness and
comparative slowness of the donkey.
His ancestors were not SO liable to
sudden attacks of wild beasts and of
snakes. Moreover, sudden and wild
starts on alarm would have been posi-
lively dangerous to them; hence, they
learnt to avoid the very habit which
proved so useful to the horse in the
plains.

The faster vessels make the
Cape Town or Delagoa Bay in % -
81 days, respectively. BY this time
many dead head has had to be lifted
out, and many others almost dead have
to be lifted ashore. The remainder
rapidly recuperate on landing and are
soon frolicsome, jumping, bucking and
kicking with joy. But it is simply
giving them another taste of life be-
fore the slaughter, for the fever, in
sects and bullets make short work Of
them.
The ships occasionally encounter
storms that cause the animals to be
tossed about SO that many Of them
are manned and bruised beyond re-
covery, and many killed outright. One
vessel, the Corinthia, foundered in a
gale off Hayti. After five days work
in attempts to float her she was given
up. There were more than 1900 mules
aboard. They were hoisted upon deck
so that they might see the land, about
mile off, and then lowered overheard
and headed for it. About 400 swan
the distance. The others were either
unequal to the effort after being pent
up so long, or spent their energy
floundering about the boat in the vain
hope of being taken back on board.

Blota for Flora and Fauna.

In an article in recent number of
the American Naturalist on Scharff's
History Of the European Fauna, the
author, Leonard Stejneger, in foot
note says: That like many other writ
ers on similar subjects he has felt the
need of comprehensive term to in
clude both fauna and fora which will
not only designate the total of animal
and plant life of given region or pc
riod, but also any treatise upon the
animals and plants of any geograph-
zeal area or geographical period. AS
such a term he suggests "Biota," and
remarks that he does so not only be-
cause it's original Significance covers
the above definition, but also because
of its brevity and obvious relationship
