Summer fashions are decidedly pic

bodices with large falling collars or
draped fichus and elbow-sleeves will
rule in the evolution of frocks of the
ethereal summer stuffs. They are elab-
grated with intricate insettings OF fine
laces; and Paris says that many of the
summer gowns will be made with ssssh-
es instead of belts. Accordingly. all
sorts of lovely sash ribbons. among
which are the Pompadour patterns OF
dainty posies. are shown with
streamers futtering over biliowy
fiounces, the sashes will add much to
the graceful beauty of summer NODES
One of the most delightful charac-

Princess. Wedding Gowns.

The clinging grace and picturesque
ness of the various princesse styles
are largely responsible for the marked
favor they command for wedding
gowns and elegant evening dresses.
The continuous, unbroken lines from
shoulder to skirt hem at the back in
variably impart length and slender
ness, and the fronts this season show
more than ever very youthful and
charming effects. Satin royal, creped
satin, peau de sole, crepe de chine,
chiffon over MORE, silk-warp yelling.
lace, net, and brocade are among the
fabrics most favored for princesse
gowns this year, and pretty silk and
wool fancies are employed for less ex-
pensive developments of these models.

A Hard-worked Organ.

Think of the amount of work
child's heart has to undertake. DR..
Lees has calculated that at the rate
of one beat per second, which is some
what below the real rate, it will have
to contract no less than 31,536 900
times every year. If it survive for
fifty years. it will have performed the
enormous number of 1876 900 900 of
beats. and that during these fifty years
the heart will have to lift 100000
tons to a height of one foot. That is
the work which lies before the child's
heart if it survives through a life OF
fifty years.

Letter-Bags of Rulers.

A Berlin newspaper recently pu4-

breaks the record, as he receives

tiers and newspapers. King Edward
comes next with 5000 newspapers, and
900 letters. The car and German
emperor receive each from 600 to 700
letters, appeals, ETC.; the king of Italy,
500; Queen Wilhelmina, from 100 to
$50. The pope, says the same author
