Safe Military Communication.

Kites carrying aerial wires are con-
sidered by military experts the
safest of all means devised for estab-
fishing communication between wide
ly separated divisions of an army,
because of their practical immunity
from damage from shots. A balloon
may be pictured and destroyed, but
the passage of score of bullets
through box kite would not mate
rally injure it. The Germans have
perfected kite with fiat, soft woed
sticks, strengthened by slender
steel rod, which offers the greatest
amount of freedom from injury by
bullets. Six or seven of these kites
are flown in tandem fashion to carry
the wires to sufficient height in
the air. The German military au.
thorities use in the field the Braun
Siemens-Halske wireless system, and
they claim that the attunement ol
both the receiving and transmitting
instruments is such as to provide alb
solute secrecy. Balloons were alst
tried at the imperial maneuvers, but
these were not better than the kites
and far more expensive.-N. Y

royal stamp Collectors.

The prince of Wales is not by any
means the only royal philatelist. It is
said, indeed, that every royal family
in Europe has a member who is collect
ing stamps. Probably the most zeal
Gus collector is Princess Clementine
of Belgium. She has made study of
stamps and is regarded as an author
ity on the subject. Queen Wilhelmina
of Holland and the king OF Servia have
for years been placing stamps in beau
tiful albums, but of late it is said their
interest in the work has somewhat
waned. Pope Leo XIII. has a collec-
tion of exceptionally rare stamps, and
frequently he spends his leisure mo-
ments in examining them. The pre-
lates of the church are aware of his
interest in them, and whenever they
can they send him new treasures for
his collection.-Golden Penny.

Japan A CURIOUS LAND.
AImost Everything Seems to Go By

Kingdom.

"There is no land that l have ever
seen so curious as JAPAN, said Robert
w. Brinkley, of Yokohama, to Wash
ipgton Star reporter recently. "Ihave
lived IN Japan for the past 20 years
and il is to me still a sort OF wonder
land.
Zone of the strange features OF the
country is that all crops and fruits are
almost certain to deteriorate. l have
seen beautiful peaches grown the first

limited States. The second year they
were still fairly good; the third season
poor and after that unfit to eat. Moth
ing in the vegetable world would seem
to retain its excellence for any length
of time. 1t is bamboo country and
everything reverts to the bamboo.
Beautiful lush grass covered many a
plain and yet it gives no nutriment to
cattle. Garden vegetables look as fine
ss any grown in the United States, but
when cooked they have no taste. The
flowers are of gorgeous hues, but
they are without perfume.
"But even with these imperfections

earth and many things recommend it

BURDEN OF H1NDoo CASTE.
Ceremonial Cleanness Of the People
ruts Them to Infinite Amount
of Trouble.

It must be dreadful, in this day and
generation, to belong to the high
caste Hindoo. We suppose in past
centuries, when the Hindoo were
more or less isolated from the people,
ceremonial cleanness of the Hindoo
people could be carried on with less
trouble than it could be now, says
Medical Talk.
Just think of man keeping him
self ceremonially clean, according to
the requirements of the Hindoo caste.
The~foor of the room in which food
is served must be washed clean with
a particular Hindoo disinfectant, be-
fore and after meals, and this must
be done by Hindoo. If the body of
the attendant who brings the food
comes in contact with person who
is not a Hindoo, or comes in contact
with anything cooked by person
who is not Hindoo, the food is pull
luted, and cannot be eaten by high
caste Hindoo. If water is used out Of
cask or bucket, or any other re-
ceptable, not only will the water be
polluted if touched by .non-Hindoo,
but if the cask containing the water
| is touched it will be considered pol
luted. Any fruit or vegetable, after
| it is cut or broken, cannot be touched
| by any one except Hindoo, else it in
polluted. Cakes or bread cannot be
put in box or bin that was made
by any one who is not Hindoo.
The Hindoo cook must take bath
before cooking each meal. He must
cook the meal with nothing on but
his waist cloth. The Hindoo master
must also bathe and clothe himself in
clean clothing before he can even
touch his food. He cannot wear any
clothing that has been stitched with
q needle, or touched by non-Hindoo
After making himself ceremonially
clean for a meal, if non-Hindoo
should touch him by accident, he
must go through the bath again, and
redress himself with entirely differ
ent clothing before he can eat.
All the pots and pans and cooking
utensils must be ceremonially clean
He dare not take cup of tea, OF
lemonade, or water from any one who
is not a Hindoo. He may not ever
drink at spring of water until after
he has washed himself.

NOTES OF THE MODES.
Fresh Finery for Fair Wearers That
VIII BE in Vogue for the
Season.

Many of the linen dress fabrics, with
which the shops are filed, are repre-
sented as being sufficiently shrunk.
No woman should be SO ill-advised as
to trust to this promise. Linens
should be shrunk before being cut, re-
ports the New York Post.
Very pretty scarfs are sold for coun-
try hats, in tan linen mesh. The scarfs
are one yard long and about five inches
wide, and are gayly ornamented with
stamped patterns, feur-de-lis and large
conventional designs predominating.
They are inexpensive.
The dropping sleeve, in its extreme
form at any rate, is disappearing.
Sleeves are as elaborate as ever, but
the fullness is gradually being carried
away from the cuff, where it was al
ways nuisance. tpresent it appears
at the elbow, or little below, but
some of the newest gowns have sleeves
with shoulder puffs, the fullness dimin-
ishing until the wrist part is tight fit
ting. Artistically considered, this is
| the only correct form of sleeve, since
| it follows the general line of the figure,
| and does not make an absurd sill
| houette.
Shocking has been revived, on skirts
as well as waists. A soft wool long
skirt has a hip yoke Of shocking,
which would be hunchy if the smock-
ing were less shallow. There are sew
eral ways Of treating this pretty form
of needlework, and it can be made
highly decorative.
A handmade gown Of beige voile il
| made with finely tucked skirt tight tn

Round disks of lace, dyed to the exact
shade of the material, are applied
around the top of the flounce. The lace

gown is very simple in its effect, but
is really a mass of hand-run tucks ane

skirt are equally fashionable. Paquil

She sat alone on the veranda up
stairs. The white radiance of a full
moon was shed on an unfamiliar
scene. Steadily upward, still upward,
the waters from the crevasse had
crept until but foot or two of space
remained between the waters and the
floor of the upper veranda. Should 1t

She leaned forward with low cry

anybody. He was coming home to
tell her so. She leaned forward in

''Did you find him? Don't say no,

Was Michael laughing at her? 1t
sounded marvelously like it. She felt
slight vibratory shock. The boat
had come in contact with one of the
long pillars supporting the veranda
roof. The moon sailed out from un-

was on the level of the gallery floor

White Men Also Culpable.
1.-THE Woman's Journal.

The Boston Pilot has unearthed an
interesting editorial upon the race
question written 10 years ago by John
Boyle O'Reilly, but never printed.
Mr.. O'Reilly was a man of generous
instincts. but he did not favor equal
rights for women. His article in the
main is fair and high minded. but the
little warp betrays itself when ne
says: The keys of the problem are
education. temperance, and frugality
in the colored men. and purity in the
colored women Of the SOUTH There
is not the slightest recognition here
of the need for purity on the part OF
the men of the south, either white or
black Yet two OF the difficult factors
in the problem are the assaults upon
white women by colored men, and the
seduction of colored women by white
men. II is true Of the social evil In
general that 1t can never be cured
until men are willing to furnish their
share of virtue; and this Is doubly
true where the men belong to the
stronger, more educated, and more
highly developed race. 1t is hardly
fair to expect the poor colored women
to furnish all the virtue for themselves
and for the white men, too. When
will men of all races and nationalities
awaken to their responsibility for do
ing their share to maintain the purity
of social life instead of throwing the
whole burden of it upon the women?
The best men are already awake to IT,
We must work to persuade the others
to open their eyes.
