The Best Nervine.

To sleep out of doors for a month
is better than trip to Europe. In
this climate one must have a roof, of
course, but any piazza that is open to
serve as a bedroom; and the gain in
happiness is unbelievable. With an
abundant supply of good air the sleep
soon grows normal, deep and I'M
troubled and refreshing, SO that we
open our eyes upon the world as glad
ly as a hunter or any pagan shep-
herd in the morning of the world. We
grow anxious and flustered and har-
ried with distractions; the COLLINS of
worry becomes an inseparable COM
panion, and we groan in spirit that the
universe is all awry, when in truth
half a dozen deep breaths of clean air
would lend a different complexion to
life. Our anxieties are nearly all ar
tificial, and are bred indoors under
the sitting oppression of walls and
roofs and the maddening clangor of
pavements. and day IN the open will
often dispel them like a mist-Bliss

POTENT LIQUOR is SAKE.
Lafcadio Iiearn's Testimony as &c
Strength of Japanese Wine.

There is no liquor in the world upon
which man becomes so quickly in
toXicated as Japanese sake (rice
wine), and yet none of which the ef-
fects last so short time. The in
toXicatiOn is pleasant as the effect of
opium or hasheesh. It is soft, pleas
ant, luminous exhilaration, everything
becoming brighter. happier, lighter;
then you get very sleepy.
At Japanese dinners it is the rule to
become Slightly exhilarated, bat not to
drink enough to talk thickly or walk
crooked. The ability to drink at ban
quets requires practice-long practice.
There are banquets of many kinds,
and the man who is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex-
pected is careful to start in upon an
empty or almost empty stomach. By
not eating one can drink good deal.
The cups are very small and of many
curious shapes. One may be expected
to empty SO. A quart of sake is a good
deal; two quarts require iron nerves
to stand. But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers. At a
military officers banquet a captain
offered me a tunibler holding a good
pint of sake. l almost tainted at the

LORD FERRER'S TRIP

But whether it be Mr.. Wcrtheim-

cage from which lark's song asCends

tranquility as If he were only going
to his own burial, not to his own exc

And when one OF the Dragons OF
the procession was thrown from his
horse Lord Ferrers expressed much
concern and said, 81 hope there will
be no death to-day but mine"
On went the procession, with y
mob about II sufficient to make its
progress slow and laborious. Small
wonder that the age OF Thackeray,
with Thackerays help, set up its
scaffolds within four high walls Ask

fused, for, said the sheriff. late regu-
lations enjoined him not TO let pris-
ouers drink while passing from the
place OF imprisonment to that OF exc

committed by the drunkenness OF
criminals in the hour of execution.
And though, said he, my lord, |
might think myself eXcusable in over.
looking this order out of regard to
your lordship's rank, yet there is an
other reason which, l am sure, will

confluence would be so great that Il
would delay the expedition which

Fancy Blouse Waist.

The waist that gives the long, or
somewhat dropping shoulder effect.
Is one OF the latest favorites OF fash
ion, and is to be noted in a variety OF
forms Here is one that Is arranged
to form a V at back and front, which
is very generally becoming. and that
can be utilized for almost every sea-
sonable material. In the illustration
crepe de chine is trimmed with heavy
lace, but not alone are the silk and
wool materials appropriate. linens
also are made after such fashion for
the late summer, and the design Is
one that can be relied upon to be
used throughout the coming as well
as the present season. The waist Is
closed invisibly at the left OF the
front, which In itself cOmmends ii TO
many women and it is altogether at
traCtive and graceful.
The waist is made with the fitted
lining that is closed at the front and
itself consists OF front and back, OF
side-fronts and side-backs. These
latter are laid In tucks and trimmed
with banding, while the front and
back are faced TO give the chemisette
effect The sleeves are Of moderate
size and are gathered into fitted cuffs.
The waist is closed beneath the tuck
at the edge of the left side-front.
