Man of Many Vests.

Representative Shattuc, the genial mem
her from Cincinnati, is said to be the
proud possessor of no less than twenty
six vests. a number that far exceeds that
of any other Representative in Congress.
These waistcoats are of various hues.
styles. cuts, and fashiors Some of them
are brocaded and some are plain, bat they
are all well fitted and becoming.
The Cincinnatian has a broad front,
which these always handsome garments
encircle and his friends have discovered
that they can interpret the Ohio mem
ber's hurpor by the color of the waistcoat
which he wears. For instance, If there
is a measure in which General shattuc is
especially interested, and upon which he
expects to be obliged to make fight. he
comes into the chamber attired in a vest
Of deep red hue; when he is passive he
wears milder color, and sometimes the
garment is imma culate white.
General Shattuc is as popular in the
First OHIO district as he is in Washing
ton and there is no doubt that as long as
he cherishes a desire TO come to Congress
his discreet and discerning constituents
will continue to afford the occupants Of
the galleries an opportunity 10 look down
upon the happy face and gorgeous waist
coats of General Shattuc.

The great trouble with people who live in the big,
crowded tenements is not much that they do not
want to live better that they cannot, or do not
know how to begin About four years ago was visit

there were about a thousand people. The conditions

done if some one would go there and live with the
idea of betcrng things. 1t is too long story to tell
all the particulars but took the building and cleaned

were all very much interested in what did and be-

Tribulation of a Queen.

Recently in the concert hall At Am
sterdam the musical clubs of ,he city
offered the young Queen of Holland an
entertainment. Two arm chairs had
been placed 4 little in front OF the
other seats for the Queen and her
mother. Prince Heinrich. Wilhelm ina S
husband, did not go, for though a Ger
man he does not care about music. The
suite sat behind the royal ladies'.
At the end of the first part of the con-
cert the orchestra started. as usual. to
play the national hymn and. according
to custom, the two queens arose. At
this moment the younger one dropped
her bouquet. She looked first at it, then
at her mother, who turned purple. but
she understood and remembering that
her daughter was the Queen, she stopped
and picked up the flowers, which she gave
back to her Majesty. The whole scene
was over before anyone had time to
spare Queen Emma the trouble. and
above all the little pang of bruised pride
which she could not help feeling. But
almost everyone saw what had happen
ed, and evidently no one approved.

Variable Hair.

1t is reported that a Parsian grande
lily has not only costumes suited to
| every occasion, but an immense col
lection of hair, worth something over
81, 600. so that she may have coiffures
to fit each costume. This is truly
novel idea, and it is to be hoped that
nobody off the stage will be tempted
to copy it. 1t is one of those ideas
which are ridiculous when carried out
by anybody without a large fortune
and artistic genius. and but few wom-
en- possess the combination.
Among the numerous shrewd com
ments which Minister WI has made
on Occidental dress, customs, and
manners there was none shrewder
than his observation on the dress of
the average American woman. He
said that he did not see why a woman
| should dress with a view TO making
herself into a type opposite to her
own; that it would be much easier and
more sensible for the short woman to
| be content to appear short. and the
thin woman to seek the style most
becoming to her as thin woman.
rather than for one to attempt to re-
duce her size and the other to in
| crease it. 1t is fact which is not
appreciated by everybody that the
natural face, figure, and complexion of
any woman, when she is at her best. |
are so suited to each other that
material change in any one element |
produces, as a rule. an effect of in !
congruity and absurdity There is nat !,
urally subtle harmony between
the complexion, the eyes, and the !
hair. so that if a woman is foolish I
enough to try TO change the color of |
her hair she will have to doctor her |
complexion in order to make it har- |
monte, and then the color of the |
eyes will be out of tune with both. |
Such processes are rarely effective /
save on the stage, where everything is
artificial and the natural coioring ap-
pears too pale. In the light OF day it
is good deal safer to trust to ones
own looks. even though they may not
be much to boast OF.

Great Prosperity in Canada.

The Dominion of Canada" said Mr. d.
Rattray, of Quebec, at the Shoreham, "is
enjoying period of great prosperity. Our
commerce both at home and abroad is
constantly expanding. Our manufacturers
are making money and our farmers have
reason TO be satisfied with their recent
splendid harvests.
Il am one OF those Canadians who
would be glad to see complete freedom of
trade between the United States and Can
ada, but | realize that it is not now prac-
ticable. There would be plenty to op-
pose it even on our side of the border.
particularly our owners of sugar rein-
cries. The tariff after all, is largely a
personal and local matter.
Quebec is a thriving city Of about 10
900 people. six-sevenths of whom are
French. The French language and Gus
toms predominate. Between the majority
and the English minority there is COM
plete amity both in business and social
relations. The French element is ex-
clusively Roman Catholic in its religion.
II is an element however, that ever mani
tests good will and loyalty to the British
Government. The entire Dominion is
loyal to England and stands ready to
contribute far more of money and men to
uphold the old country in its present
struggles than has been asked of it..
Canadians have no fear of the ability of
England to make good her claims to SOW
ereignty in South Africa. or wherever
else il has been asserted"

UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME.
Cause for Comment.

The statement that Mr.. Joseph Manley,
OF Maine, has been offered the First AS
sistant Postmaster GcEeralship. is caus-
ing much comment at the Capitol. Mr..
Manley has been the attorney before the
Postoffice Department for number Of
publishers of Augusta, Me-, who have been
under the ban with the department, un-
der the rulings of Postmaster General
Smith, regarding secondclass mail mat
ter. These publications generally had
wide circulations, but it was alleged that
they contained advertisements of the firms
which published them to a greater extent
than the law allowed.
1t is suggested that if Mr.. Manley is
given Jne position II will indicate possi
BILE change in the nolicy of the dnnart-
ment with regard to this class of pub
locations. 1t is said at the Capitol that
Representative Loud would undoubtedly
make strenuous effort to prevent such a
reversal of rulings. No one has yet sug-
gested that any Senator would be likely
TO object 10 the confirmation OF Mr. Man
ley for any such reason.

lola as a Lecturer.

NJ. Emile Zola has made his debut
as a lecturer. and the things which he
told the society women of Paris are
still the talk OF the town.
He told them that they had not
brains enough for any serious work,
that they spent their time in gossip
which was stupid when it was not
wicked, that they groveled before
those Of superior station to them
selves, and looked down with asinine
contempt upon their supposed inferi-
ors. He said that II was a mere ac-
, cident of birth that they were not fac
tory girls or saleswomen, and If they
! had been he asked them, could they
feel certain that they would have the
courage to prefer honest laborlous
misery to bIameworthy ease?
| This was surprising language. espe-
cially for Paris. where everything un-
pleasant is coated either with sugar
| or with venom. In that beautiful city
people are not taught to tell the eX-
act truth, unless they are writing re
| llistic novels, and then they try. Ugly
things are made hideous or charming
according 10 the rhetoric that Is ap-
piled 10 them. Some of the things
| which NJ Zola said were probably true
OF at least majority of his listeners;
Others were true of a few of them;
| but the question which will arise in
, the minds OF most of the people who
/ read of the incident will be, What
was the use of il all?''
! It is not likely that any OF the habits
I to which NJ Zola objected will be
I changed on account of his remarks.
| The kind of woman who really de-
served his structures probably went
lhome in blaze of indignation and
asked her friends what he could pos
sibly mean by talking in such a hOr-
| rible way, and her friends and rela-
! tives all assured her that the man
must be either malicious or insane,
and that she was quite right to be in
dlgnant. NJ Zola will not alter the
| conditions of Parisian society by his
! plain speaking, any more than ether
people have succeeded in like eXDeri-
ments. '}ut he has made a sensa-
tion. anStthat is something for which
| Paris Z probably grateful.
