Some of Their Famous Feats of Phys

One of the finest achievements of u
White, a representative of the New
York Tribune, in the Franco-Prussian
war He witnessed the battle of Sedan
from the Prussian headquarters OH
Thursday, Sept /, 1870 At its conclu-
sion he rode to Brussels, but there the
postoffice authorities refused to trans
NIT his dispatch to London and even
threatened to arrest him for saying
that the French had been defeated. He
then went on to Calais, crossed to Do
yer by special steamer and took spe-
cial train to London, where he arrived
at o'clock on Saturday morning. Next
day there was description Of the bat
tie six columns long in the Tribune. 1t
was not till Tuesday that the London
newspapers had accounts Of the con-
fict from their correspondents.
But the most famous deed of physic-
al endurance in the race for news be-
tween war correspondents was told of
Archibald Forbes. IN the Servian war
of 1876 Semlin, the nearest telegraph
station, was 100 miles distant from the
scene of the battle. SO soon as Forbes
knew the result he rode off and all
night long he kept at a gallop, chang
ing horses every fifteen miles, At Sem
lin he had one long drink of beer and
then at once sat down to the task Of
writing, hour after hour. against time,
the tidings Of which he was the bearer.
After he had written the story OF the
battle and put it ON the wires he lay
down in his clothes and slept twenty
hours without waking. He had wit
messed the battle, which lasted six
hours; ridden 100 miles and written
and dispatched telegraphic message
four columns in length to the Daily
News, all in the space of thirty hours.

They are for the tailor effects, and
there Will he many tailored suits.
Coats are so often seen to match that
one does not think of them as novel;
ties and yet they are. They are tight
and have skirts. Rain proof coverts
are among the handsomest and most
elegant Of all the things save the
broadcloths, which will always be the
lady's choice. Zibelines will be quite
as popular as before, from those with
occasional hairs to those Of all hair.
Panama cloth and several striped and
invisibly plated stuffs are among the
handsome materials Panne cheyiot
and hair stripe zibelfne and also plain
camers hair zibeline make stylish
street suits. Dark green. blue, brown,
deep prune and oxford gray are the
favorite colors
In one place there are, | think may
truthfully say, thousands of handsome
street suits of velutina. This rich and
comparatively inexpensive velvet has
strong hold upon womenss favor, and
it really deserves it.
There can be no question as to the
shape of the skirts, for they are be-
coming very wide around the bottom,
and the top, too, but there they are
held in so that the extra size does not
show. In the Illustration is shown one
Of the models, and it may be seen how
the fullness is adjusted The waist is
pointed and the skirt is gathered so
that when it is under the point of the
waist the gathers show irregularly.
saw one where the skirt was gathered
smoothly all around. The skirts flow
somewhat in the ancient STYLES. Down
the front is close shirring, which
may be black peau de sole. At the
bottom of the skirt are two rows of
black velvet ribbon, style of TRIM
ming much favored on silks. The
waist is shirred very closely to the
center, where it finishes with q ruffie.
and the sleeves are also snirred down
the middle to the elbows. There is a
stirring at the shoulder seam. The

JAPANESE LACQUER.
Some of 1t Is So Expensive That 4
seldom Reaches Us.

In the billy country two industries
come to help agriculture namely, silk
raising and lacquer 70 name only one
district, the Villages along the Naka-
sendo have gained much by modern
improvements in silk raising The
lacquer tree may possibly have been
imported from China, as so many
other trees and plants were, but it GER
tainly was known and used in Japan
at a very early period. We are used
to thinking of it as ornament only 1t
is that and much more besides, for
plain lacquer bowls and trays are al
most necessities of daily life. They
raise most OF what is used in certain
provinces. but Tokyo imports 4 good
deal of juice to be manufactured
there
The tree is a species Of rhqs, closely
allied to our poison ivy and having the
same power to produce an irritating
rash on the skin. The workers get over
this. however, and do not have it
again, but they say that people some
times get it from handling bowls or
trays which have not been dried long
enough.
10 get the sap the farmer cuts a
notch in the side Of each tree, and aft
er a time thick juice oozes out; then
the farmer goes around with wooden
spatula gathering the drops into pail.
1t will keep for a long while, but must
not be allowed to dry up nor to be
heated above certain point, for it
contains Il peculiar acid which causes
the juice to ferment and harden The
pieces that have been vanished must
therefore be dried in mild and moist
air. Tokyo in August is usually just
right. about 81 degrees
A good piece of lacquer has to be
most carefully made in the first place,
and then vanished with layer after
layer each being dried and polished
before the next goes on. Certain pig
ments mixed with it give red. black or
green. To apply gold a wash of war;
nish is laid where the design is to be
and the gold powder sprinkled on from
a hollow bamboo stick with Il fine
sieve over the end When it is dry it
must be revarnished and repolished
over ALL With all these repeated proc
esses a fine piece may be on hand for
months, even years. Naturally this is
not the kind that is prepared for for
eign export, for people abroad will not
pay for it.-Anna G. Hartshorne in
Chautauquan.

How to clean Resrigcrators.

A triple house cleaning every week
is none too much for the refrigerator
a wise provision is TO arrange it for
the days on which the ice is to be re
newed. Remove everything, wipe walls
and shelves with a damp cloth, then
rub with coarse, dry towel. Pour scald-
ing water, in which bit Of washing
soda has been dissolved, down the
waste pipe. Follow it with Il cold
stream and permit the refrigerator to
stand open and empty few minutes
till thoroughly cooled. Five minutes
work three times a week is all that is
required to keep this part Of the larder
in perfect sanitary condition.

How to Test Diamonds.

A good diamond is good deal cold
err than an imitation, and the lapi-
DIARIES say the best way to test this
difference in temperature is to touch
the stones to the tongue. Sapphires,
emeralds, rubies, garnets and other
precious stones may be tested in the
same way--the real stone is invariably
colder than the imitation, The lapi-
daries do not give a reason for the diff
ference, but it may be found perhaps
in the greater density of the real
stones, which makes them better con-
ductors of heat.

.Freedo.n to worship Cod

One of the conditions which promote
peace between the states of the United
States is that wherever any citizen
may be he is free to. enjoy whatever
form Of religion he prefers. He may
be a Christian, Mohammedan or pagan,
as he pleases, only he must preserve
the peace aud live a decent life. World
peace will be unspeakably promoted If
there prevails such system Of world
law that when a man goes into any
part Of the world he will be free to
worship God after any form he prefers.
Other liberties now not known in all
countries may be expected in the grow
ing liberation and homogeneity Of the
world r. T. Bridgman in Atlantic.
