KILLS THE BLooMER IDEA.
stroyed Chances of OId-Tfme
Dress Reform Plans.

Fifty years have elapsed since
Amelia Bloomer publicly advocated
the wearing by women of the cos
tune which has since been known
by her name. Strangely enough, she
did not originate the idea. She was
editing a temperance and women's
rights journal and the editor of an
opposition paper suggested that she
and her kind ought to wear Turkish
trousers in public. Mrs. Bloomer
took up the suggestion at first In a
spirit of humor, but the controversy
grew serious and Mrs. Elizabeth
Smith Miller tried the experimeE<
of wearing the newly invented cos
tune for women. 1t was very diff
ferent dress from that donned by the
advanced advocates of semimasculine
attire for women in these days. The
trousers were loose and baggy aud
they came down to the ankles, where
they were fastened by drawstring.
In short, they were exactly like THO
bathing trousers which women useQ
to wear 25 years ago. No one could
have found fault with them on the
score of modesty, especially as thh
skirt which went with them cane
down far below the knee. So much
for ancient history.
The most obvious comment to ke
made on the subject is that in half q
century the advocates of the bloomer
costume have not succeeded in having
1t generally adopted by women. To-
day its use is wholly in the hands
of bicycle riders, and it may be added
that they have turned use into such
an extensive and ridiculous abuse
that they have practically killed Mrs.
Bloomer's idea.

when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result, and unless the inflammation

HOME LIFE OF AN EMPRESS.
There is Much OF Real Domestic Hap
pinesa in the Imperial Family
of Rugsia.


family has called renewed attention
to the ideal domestic life of the i'm
perial couple. The empress is one of
the most popular among European
royalties, it is said, and was one of
the fayorite grandchildren of Queen
Victoria, says the New York Trib-
une. Her mother, Princess Alice,
grand duchess of Hesre, wrote to the
queen when the little princess was a
year old: "She is such sweet,
merry little person, always laughing
and with deep dimple in one cheek,
Just like Ernie" Her pet name was
Sunny" and the quality indicated
by that still is striking character
istic. say her friends.
The marriage of Princess Alix to
the czar was the climax of pretty
love story. Her eldest sister Grand
Duchess Serge, was aunt by mar
riage to the czar. who, when caro-
witch, often met the princess at the
house of her sister. They fell in
love in the ordinary human way. but
both families opposed their mar
riage, for various reasons. One
of the strongest was the difference
in religion, the czarowitch belSaging
to the Greek church and the princess
to the Lutheran. The czarowitch was
sent on a tour around the Torld, in
the hope that he might bO diverted
from his love affair, but returned in
year. as much in love as ever.
Finally Queen Victoria and the other
members of the family were won
over by the young man, but the
princess herself was reluctant to
abandon her creed. She confided her
religious scruples to her brother, the
grand duke of Hesse, who asked;
~Then do you not love him?' She
answered just as any "mere girl"
might: "Oh, yesi indeed dol"
Finally she was invited TO England
by her aunt, Princess Louis Of Bat
tenberg, and the czarowitch, too, re-
ceived an invitation. lie used his OPP
portunity to such good purpose that
the betrothal was announced at the
wedding, the next year, of the grand
duke of Hesse and Princess Victoria
Malta of Coburg.
Soon came the illness and death of
Alexander ILL.,, and the czarowitch
became emperor. His mother urged
speedy marriage. and the young
princess was received into the Greek
church on November &c, 1894, and
the wedding took place almost i'm
mediately.
The empress is greatly interested
in philanthropic work, and Is at the
head of the association for relief OF
the poor. She is said to have read
all the best works on the English
laws relating to the poor. Every
thing in her home life Is on the
simplest scale possible, and she en-
ioys herself as any less exalted per
con might, in riding, rowing, swim
ming. tennis playing and sketching
Her skill with the brush is said to
be considerable, and she often amuzes
herself with caricatures IN pencil OF
the members OF her household. IN
way that no other artist would dare
20 attempt.
She has her children about her al
most as constantly as any mother
among her people. giving personal
supervision TO their training in mind
manners and morals.

Coffee, the beverage of a large por
ton of the civilized world, contains an
oil of very active properties. This aro-
matte shrub, which was first discov-
cred wild in the desert Businesses of
Arabia and Ethiopia, produces clusters
of fragrant white flowers growing
from the axis of the leaves. The berry
is red when ripe, and separating the
kernel from the husk was laborious
and difficult process when performed
after the primitive methods of the
east. Coffee acts upon the nerves, and
is an antidote for many poisons. The
herdsmen of Arabia noticed the exhil-
arating effect of this plant upon their
focks, and the bowling Dervishes
drank infusions of the berries to keep
them wakeful in their wild night-rav-
ings, long before it was in use as
beverage. Coffee, unlike spices, is a
modern luxury, having been introduced
into Europe only about the middle of
the seventeenth century. - Peoples

Burmese Ambition.

The highest ambition of Bur-
mans life is to build a pagoda, by
which he wins the title of Kyanng
Taga during this incarnation and Sc
cures a mortgage on Niryana. A Bur
man does not become Christian cas-
lily, but when he does he brings with
him the conviction he had as a Bud
dhist, that to build place of wor-
ship is the most meritorious act of a
mans life. This accounts for the
present Cathedral of Mandalay, built
at cost of 10000 rupees by Kyanng
Taga Paul Obon, q Burmese ruby
merchant of that city. The old
Church of Amarapura was built by
an Armenian, and the two churches
of the Tennessarim coast by gen.
tleman named De Castro. Many of
the 700 and more chapels and church
es throughout Burma are built of
Jungle wood, which is destroyed in a
few years by the white ants. To re-
place them by teak or pyingkado, not
to speak of modest structures, is a
matter of hope with every priest,
but, in very Strengthened finances,
they do the best they can, and pray
for Kyanng tagas to come along

in the Court of Chancery to have the
title to their old parsonage declared
free of encumbrances. In 1880 the
deed was given to the trustees by the

property should be used as parson-

began the erection of q new parson-

booksellers in Cairo.

The street of the booksellers in
Cairo is an interesting sight. The
chief street of this sort is near the
Mohammedan mosque of El-Azhar.
Here books are bound and volumes
are sold in the open street. The
bookbinder sits or squats down cross
legged in the street and binds to-
gether the loose sheets of the vol
ume, while camels, donkeys and a
motley crew of noisy humanity make
their way past him 200 feet away.
Most of the books are bound in red.
The Koran is shown with much re-
luctance to non-Moslems who are not
supposed to give it much reverence.
The binding of the Arabic volumes
is much inferior to that of other
countries, though the leather is
often of superior quality. The great
Arabic library, containing many of
the most precious copies of the Ko-
ran, one in particular being the ear
Hest specimen extant, is thrown
open freely and without charge, in
the vice regal library, to any one
interested in books or manuscripts.

Convict Brooks Caught.

Convict Brooks, who escaped from
the Morris Plains State Hospital in
1897, after being sent there from the
state prison, was arrested in Rhode
Island ON Monday.
Brooks was serving a twenty year
term in the prison for breaking and
entering, and after being there three
years exhibited such marked signs OF
insanity that he was transferred to
the hospital, from which he soon es-
capped.
Although he has been away nearly
five years 1t is only within the last
few days that he was apprehended in
Rhode Island. He has been in both
penal institutions and an asylum
there, it is said
He seemed very much surprised
when he found that Keeper Osborne
of the N. j. State Prison, was after
him, and did not EXHIBIT any of the
crazy tendencies which have charac-
terized his acquaintance with the
New Jersey authorities.
Brooks is considered dangerous
man, but as he will have to serve all
of the twenty year sentence with the
exception of the three years in prison
and short time in the hospital, he
will not have much chance to do any
harm for some time to come.

Not all the old documents and rec

Australia have been destroyed, as
many suppose, and in recent search
among some family papers curious
item was brought to light bearing
upon the discovery of gold at the an

first found by a convict near PARA
malta in 1880. The unfortunate fellow
was at once charged with having stolen
a watch and boiled it down." and be-
ing convicted by the rude court of
those early days, was given $50 lashes
for his pains. In later years the rec
ord of this incident was closely exam
ined by an undoubtedly competent au-
thority, who was quite convinced of
the genuineness of the convict's story.

Angling Extraordinary.

AT Winchester it is quite a common
thing to see men fishing through the
street gratings, Under High street
there flow several streams which ulti-
mately discharge into the River 1tchen,
a noted trout stream. These streams
receive the storm and surface water
from the street by means of the ordi-
nary street grating. The line is
dropped through and fastened to the
end of stick small enough to go
through the CRATE. When the fish is
hooked the line and stick are dropped
through the grating, and the fisherman
rushes to the point where the stream
energies from under the street, and is
there able to recover his line and
land his fish.-Pastime Review.
