Sex characteristics.

Have you ever noticed in a fashion
able crowd how much like men the
women are and how much like women
the men? 1t is not that the men are
really effeminate or the women really
masculine. as keen observer once put
1t, but there is, nevertheless, curious
approximation in type. 1t may be TO
some extent a matter Of dress. Women
affect the mannish in their costume
men in summer seek more color. But ii
is not dress alone. The womans face
seems stronger and the mans less sen

century ago. Tho figure, too. has chang

Eastern Funeral Rites.

Some curious details have just
reached Paris concerning the funer-
al ceremonies of Norodom, the late
king of Cambodia. Immediately
after death the body was placed on

their heads. Next day the body was
embalmed, according to ancient Gus
tom. The face was covered with a
gold mask studded with diamonds
and other precious stones. On the
head was placed the ancient crown,
and even the slippers on the feet
glistened with rare jewels. Then
the body was placed in a kneelinS

sheath of gold and was sealed up IN
a massive casket of solid gold. Thus

The anniversary of independence
day in 1884 fell on Sunday, and the
program of exercises in Boston, as
usual, was observed on Monday The
Old South church was the scene of

fervid orator, delivered the address,

calling themselves at Woart's tavern,
others at the American coffee house,

after Mr.. Jefferson had reached the
town and was travelling. further east
ward as far as Portsmouth, N. H.
In fact, the first record of Mr.. JEFF
ferson's presence in Boston on this
occasion appears in the journal of the
house of representatives under date
Of June II, when the following order
was passed:
"Ordered, That a chair be assigned
for the Hon. Thomas Jefferson Esq,
late governor of Virginia, and now
one of the ministers of the United
States for negotiating commercial
treaties, if he is inclined to attend the
debate Of the house, and that Mr.. Os-
good Samuel Osgood of Andover),
Davis (Thomas Davis junior of Ply
MOUTH, and Swan Games Swan of
Dorchester) be a committee to wait
on the gentleman and inform him of
this order, who reported that they had
attended that service"
There is no evidence in the record
Of the subsequent proceedings of the
house that Mr.. Jefferson accepted the
invitation. But on June 80 the SEN
ate sent down an order which read
as follows:
ordered, That Caleb Strong and
Jonn Lowell Esquires; with such as
the Hon. House may join, be COM
mittee to confer with the Hon. Mr..
Jefferson, one of the commissioners
of the United States, for settling treat
les of commerce, and give him such
information relative to the territory
and trade of this state, as he may
wish to have and may be useful to
this and the United States"
The order was concurred in and
the speaker, Samuel Alleyne Otis of
Boston, William Phillips and John
Rowe of Boston, were appointed upon
the part of the house to meet Mr.. JEFF
ferson for the purpose indicated. But
the invited guest still keeping away
from the chair that was assigned him,

Paris, June 28.-Germany's reply to
the French note on the subject OF Mo-
rocco was presented during confer
ence between Prince Radolin, the Ger
man ambassador, and Premier Rou-
vier. While most friendly in form and
entirely lacking peremptory tone,
Germany's response none the less
maintains the position that the Mo-
rOccan question must be regulated by
a conference of the powers without
any agreement in advance limiting the
scope of such conference. This was
accompanied by the presentation OF
Germany's general point Of view in
such an amicable spirit as to disarm
the suspicion entertained concerning
Germany's Interior motives 1t is
thought that Premier Rouvier will be
prepared to terminate the controversy
either by accepting the conference or
submitting counter proposals.

Lowell to inform the house that the
upper branch had passed further or
der directing the senate part Of the
committee to proceed with it's bust
ness" and requested the house to pass
a similar mandatory direction to its
part Of the committee.
Mr.. Davis was instructed to notify
the senate that the house had such
business of importance under consid-
GRAFTON that it could not attend to the
matter. Jefferson all this time was
studying the condition of the people
as he found them on the way to
Portsmouth and back, having no par
ticular interest in the dry details of
lawmaking, and filing his mind with
the commercial needs Of what he saw
would be some time, not many years
ahead, a great and growing country.
In his issue Of July 8, 1884, editor
Isaiah Thomas of the Worcester Spy
had this reference to Mr. Jefferson:
Boston, July l.

In May, 1884, the American con-
Maryland, received the resignation OF
John Jay of New York from the
American commercial commission
abroad, Mr.. Jay being the colleague
Of Benjamin Franklin and John
Adams and Mr.. Jefferson, then a
member of the congress from Vir-
ginia, was elected to the vacancy.
It was at time when Mr.. Jefferson
was emerging from the one great
sorrow of his life, the loss of Mrs.
Jefferson, and the stricken statesman
gladly accepted mission which
would take him away from his desc
lated home and give him such en-
crossing public work as could not fail
to prove beneficial in the end. SO he
speedily arranged his home matters
by correspondence, drew a. portion OF
his $4,000 salary in advance, and with
his eldest daughter, Martha Jefferson,
then a young girl of ten years, the
future president proceeded leisurely
eastward in quest Of ship that was
bound for a French port.
From Annapolis to Philadelphia,
then to New York, and by easy stages
through Connecticut and Massachu-
sets to Boston, in the month of June,
was undoubtedly a very delightful
trip to a man who could derive so
much pleasure as Jefferson could
from natures own unrivaled attract

NO TESTIMONY BY MITCHELL.
Aged Senator Does Not Take Stand in
His Own Behalf.

Portland, Or, June %. - United
States Senator John H. Mitchell did
not bear testimony for himself in his
struggle for honor and, perhaps, for
liberty, in the land fraud cases. The
long trial practically has come to a
close. The court room was crowded
yesterday when the session opened,
many being drawn by the rumor that
the aged senator would take the stand
and by his own words attempt to dis
prove the testimony of his former part
ner, Judge A. H. Tanner, and of his
former private secretary, Harry c.
Robertson. But all these were disap-
pointed and surprised when The case
for the defense was closed within an
hour after the court had been called to
order.
