Tiger Skin.
Blouse With Cape Collar.

BLOUSE with cape COiAstIs
Cape or yoke collars and all devices
that give broad shoulder line are to
be noted on the latest waists and are
singularly graceful. The May Manton
model shown is extended to form
narrow plastron and is among the best
seen. The waist, as illustrated, is OF
striped French flannel stitched with
corticelli silk and trimmed with small
buttons, but the design is suited to all
the materials of the season, and to
both the odd waist and the gown. The
full, soft fronts are peculiarly becom-
ing. and the cape cellar is shaped to
fall we'll over tire sleeves where it is
open to allow perfect freedom of move
nent.
The waist consists OF the fitted lin.
ing, the fronts, back and cape collar.
The portions of the waist are arranged
over the lining and the cape collar over
both. At the neck is standing collar
that is closed with the waist at the
centre front The sleeves arc the new
ones with the deep pointed cuffs and
are arranged over fitted Innings. 10
the lower edge Of the waist is attached
Il basque portion that extends below
the belt and serves to keep it in place,
so avoiding all bulk beneath the skirt.
The quantity Of material required for
the medium size is four and three.

Uncle Sans Mail Bills.

We spend some ten millions of dol
lars a year more than any other coun.
tr;' in the world in carrying our mails,
and most of this excessive eXpendi-
ture goes to pay for the unrsmunera-
tive work of delivering mail en- this
outskirts of civilization. In spite OF
Russia's great size anu England's re-
markable efficiency in handling her
mails, the mail routes of the United
States are some $4,000 miles longer
than those of any other country. and
we employ some 5000 more wornmen
to handle them. and have fully 10000
more postofices.-George Ethelbert

This May Manton one is peculiarly
chic, and forms yoke of shirrings and
lace that is exceedingly smart. In the
case of the original the material is
maize colored crepe de chine combined
with chiffon velvet of the same color
and cream lace, but all materials soft
enough for shirrings are appropriate.
The narrow vest. covered with frills Of
the chiffon edged with rucIles. is Il
noteworthy feature and the sleeves
are among the most graceful of the
season, while the wide belt is both
new and becoming.

The Throne of Queen Hatasu.

Prem what does your ship get her
name?" Capt. Peters of the British
steamer Hatasu, lying at Sparrow's
Point, was asked yesterday.
MY ships name," replied the cap
tain, was suggested by the Oldest
piece of furniture known to exist in
the world. 1t was the throne of Queen
Hatasu, in the British Museum. Hat
asu is reported to have reigned in
Egypt 1000 years before Christ and 20
years before Moses made the acquaint-
ance of the bulrushes. The throne OF
Hatasu in TIE museum is a cross be-
tween chair and foot stool. Its
value is priceless. the wood of which
it is made is supposed to be lignum
vitae. The throne is finely carved and
was originally plated with gold and
silver, some portions of the precious
metals still singing to it.
There is yet tradition in the Nile
valley that whoever possesses the
throne of Hatasu is destined to rule
the world, nor will strength depart
from the empire while the throne re-
mains in it. This application is sug.
gestive INV view that my country owns
it. and commercially rules the seas.
The history of Egypt ratner discounts
this theory, for the nation fell long be-
fore the throne had passed from it's
keeping
'The shape of the legs of the throne
is particularly noticeable. They are
conventionalized models of the legs of
goat, symbolizing Pan, one OF the
eight great gods Of Egypt. worshipped
as the principle of all things. "-Balti-
