FOB THE FAIR SEX.
A CHlnes Beanlr tn Parte.
The wife of the Chlnw ambassador
appeared al a ball in Paris for the first
time unveiled in any European assembly.
Describing iier appearance a correspon
dent say : A little, quaint woman.with
her hair plastered down to the sides of
a whitewashed face, was seen blinking
in the gaslight as bats are said to blink
in the sun. She tottered through the
rnnma nn liof a,. .oil v..:i.4.j r-Jr
donna even more than she was won
dered at. Never before in Chinese his
tory had the wife of a high official been
eeen even by her own countrymen, much
Jess by the foreigner. An American
mny take credit for the conversion of his
excellency to common sense, Mr. Hilt,
of the American legation, having pre
vailed upon tlit) ambassador to visit his
i juae to see the great fete of the repub
lic. The sight of this Chinese beauty was
a little disappointing. She was very
handsome or the reverse according to
your way of looking at it.- I have heard
the most contradictory verdicts from
different people. Her oily skin was cov
ered with powder laid on as thickly as
if it were a clown's face at pantomime
time. She toddled about the rooms for
short time on her poor mutilated feet
and then went home, no doubt to dream
of what the sun and moon and morning
stars would sny next day on this awful
innovation of all the Confucian proprie
ties. Tne great anxiety of the minister
here is to do as the rest do, to follow the
immemorial customs. Sitting at dinner
the other day, he was observed to do
precisely what was done by the gentle
man who sat next to him. He ate of
the same dishes in precisely the same
proportions, and when the other asked
the servant for another piece of bread he
made a sign to h ve bread, too. The
European something of an rimateur in
porcelain at length turned up one of
the dessert plates, just to see the mark
of the fabric. The Chinese minister im
mediately did the same.

The basques, jackets and the like fol
low the outlines of the "Jersey," an
artistic bodice of silk which is woven
to nt the form, has no seam, and adapts
itself to any skirt or underwaist. In
England this bodice has become a rage,
and it is used to complete costumes by
attaching it to a short kilted gkirt and
draping a scarf about it. The Jersey is
simply a woven bodice of what is called
spun" snk, and looks like asilk under
vest in color, ft is finished w'th deep
fine elastic ribbing at the throat and
wrists and requires a trimming such as
a circular coher of finely plaited silk or
lace at the neck and wrists to cover
and supplement the ribbing unless the
wearer prefers, as some Jadies do, the
pure outlines . The price is twelve dol
lars, which h hot, greatly in advance of
the cost in London, duly added. This

hight tints in contrast with dark rich
tuffs are in demand, and the lighter,
the nearer the white, the more elegsnt
they are. Ivory camel's hair cloth is
made into a skirt with mountings of
brocaded stuff, striped in red, gold and
blue, upon an olive ground. This bro
cade forms the jacket, which fits close
to the hgure, hss collar, pocket and cuffs
of the same, nnj no contrast in color or
materials earn buttons, which are of
lrndescent p'jarl.
Of course, popular costumes will be
made of dark materials gray, brown,
shades of mastic and stone, or gensdarme
blue; but the combinations are always
Indian or Persian mixtures, and they
are used very much as last season, as
baudB, pockets, vests, scarfs, diagonal
folds, half eufls, half pockets, collars
and the like.
There is this difference between wool
and cotton costume materials; that
w hereas, the body of the woolen cos
tume is plain, and the material for trim
ming figured, the new dress cottons are
all hgured and represent expensive
brocaded fabrics in pattern as well us
blended coloring.
Among the novelties are cotton crapes ;
ft cronklfcd, almost transparent cotton
fabric; figured in colors upon light and
dark grounds, but principally dark.
J lu re is, also, a new cotton ' faille " a
filkyeortof corded cotton, printed in
delicate colors upon lighttinted ground,
nnd exactly adapted for making up
jiilv u.iii.lj summer costumes, witli
white lace und ribbons for garden
parses and such. It is comparatively
expensive, tuough seventy-five cents
per yard ; and its appearance after pass
ing through the hands of the ordinary
Jaurdress is problematical, lor if colors
would stand such a test, texture might
not.
Brown sateens and " momie " cloths
reappear in very much the same designs

ginghams are in charming blue and
white checks vr ry suitable for the wear
of children and young ladies, and there
is a novelty in Chambery striped cotton
which is striking, and considered by
some very stylhh, though the brown
stripes on the unbleached white is more
suggestive of bath towels than any
thing else. It is, however, to be used
in conjunction with sheeting, as well as
by itself, and wiien cut on the bias and
employed as a trimming for a " fish
wife " tunic, it may seem to be quite a
prt of the natural order of things.

Window glass is a terrible perplexity

turns and tries it the other way, but in

TOM THUMB AND WIFE.
An Interesting Interview wltk Tbese
ell-Known Dwarf.
The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial had an interview
with Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thumb, the
lilliputians, while exhibiting in a mu
seum in the metroDolis. I In writ.ps-
Down stairs rushed the crowd, and in a
iew moments the curtain that concealed
a small stage was drawn up, and a par
ticularly long and lean man cantered
out to announce Mr. and Mrs. Charles
btratton. A man nt the piano struck
up, "See! the conquering hero comes!'
and the tiny couple entered. Tinv. did
I sayP Then let me take it back, as far
as ute general is concerned, for he has
grown fearfully and wonderfully fat,
rather yellow and very wrinkled. He
looked, in fact, like an orange that had
been sat upon, nnd his gray goatee and
hair added to his evident accumulation
of years. He must weigh at least HO
pounds, which considering his height
to tne square inch, is doing very well.
His little wife looks careworn, and is
hardly stouter than when she first ap
peared, but she wore a charming toilet
of pink satin and Dearls. and smiled the
samo five for a cent little smiles as of
yore, bhe sang in a voice fine as 100
thread a sone about the shamrock, and
then the general appeared in his favor
ite cnaracter ot Napoleon. I think the
spectacle would have made the great
warrior wriggle in his grave even more
than Mme. Remusats "memoirs;" and
when the plump exhibitor went to
strike the attitude of meditation he lost
his balance and toppled over on Dneside,
to the amusement of the audience. Then
a tall, slim young man came out as a
Chinaman and danced and sung and
slid round on parlor skates and the mat
inee was over.
After the people had dispersed I had'a
little chat with the famous small
couple.
" How long have you been before the
public, general P" was asked.
" Over forty years," said he, folding
his arms and striking an attitude.
" People seem to have an idea that I
have retired, but the truth h I can't do
without the excitement of public life,
though my wife is getting rather tired
of it."
Yes," said Mrs. Thumb, with a
weary little sigh ; "we have been mar
ried seventeen years to-day, and I think
it's about time we stayed at home. You
see, I am domestic in my tastes, and
love housekeeping, but the general
wants to be on the go all the time."
" Well, well," said the husband, with
an imperial wave of his short fat hand.
" In summer I have my yacht and fast
horses, and that passes the time away,
but the winter seaso:i is pretty dull in
Midd leUorough . "
" Yes," said Mme. Thumb, with an
expressive iook, " if it were not for so
much yachting and fast driving our
bank account would be a little bigger
to-day."
" My dear!" said the ceneral. Rnd nn
awkward pause ensued, broken by our
correspondent remarking: " People were
very sorry to near ot your sister s (Miss
Minnie Warren) death."
"Yes," said the wee woman, with
tears in her eyes and as much feelini? na
a six-footer. "It was a great blow to
me, and then came the loss of my dear
Mttle son. A good many people thought
he was nothing but an advertisement,"
she continued, growing a trifle inco
herent; "but if they had known how I
felt they wouldn't."
"And what has become of little Major
Newell, your brother-in-law P"
" Why, didn't you see him ;iu 'the
Chinese nong-and-dance?"
" That tall young manP Impossible!"

see, about the time that Minnie died the
poor feilow bpgan to prow (this very
mournfully), and he kept on growing
and growing until he was just like any
body else. Of course it ruined his biis'i-
ness, and he had to go into the varie
ties." "And whore is Commodore TCutt
nowadays?"
"Oh, he is making his money fly out
in San Francisco."
Here the cairiage was announced, and
with a "Come alonir. mv dear." the
general led his wife and helped her in
the coupe, and filled up one seat himself.
The colored driver whipped up the dap

Learning to Write.
The London Spectn tor says: We be
lieve there is no single svstemofnic
caniquefor writing, and that a child be
longing to the educated classes would
be taught much better and more easily
if, auer Deing once enabled to make and
recognize written letters, it were let
alone, and praised or chidden not for
its method, but for the result. Let the
boy hold the pen as he likes, and make
his strokes ns he likes, and write at the
pace lie likes hurry, of course, being
discouraged but insist strenuously and
persistently that his copy shall be legi
ble, shall be clean, and shall approach
the good copy set before him, namely, a
well-written letter, cot a rubbishy text
on a biiiglelise, written as nobody but a
writing-ma3ter ever did or will write
till the world's end. He will make a
muddle at first, but he will soon make
a pnssuble imitation of his copy and ul
timately develop a characteristic and
strong hand, wliich may bo bad or good,
but will not be either meaningless, un
decided, or illegible. This hand wiil
alter, of course, very greatly as he
grows older. It may alter at eleven, be
cause it is at that age that the range of
the eyes is fixed, and short-siaht be
trays itself; and it will alter at seven
teen, because then the system of taking
notes at lectures, which ruins most
Lands will have cramped and tempo
rarily spoiled the writing, but the char
acter will form itself again, and wili
never be deficient in clearness or de
cision. The idea that it is to be clear
will have stamped itself, and confidence
will not have been destroyed by worry
ing little rules about attitude, and angle
and slope, which the very irritation of
the pupils ought to convince the teach
ers are, from some personal peculiarity,
inapplicable. The lad will write us hit
does anything else that he cares to do, as
well as he can, and with a certain efli
ciency and speed. Almost every letter
he gets will give him some assistance,
and the master's remonstrance on his
illegibility will be attended to, like any
other caution given in the curriculum.
Some Sew York Fits.
The New York police the other day
found a young fellow in a dreadful fit
and took him to the station house, where
a hospital ambulance was at once sent
for. It came, as such things do, in a
hurry, bringing two doctors. "Epil
epsy," said one; "Sham," said the other,
and they proceeded to test the case Tho
fellow was foaming at the mouth, with
eyes set, fists clenohed, and limbs rieid.
Ice-water was poured on him, and he
showed no sign. It was about to be ad
mitted a case of epilepsy, when hot
water was dropped, just "a little upon
his 6kin. The patient at once jumped
up all right. Both doctors were then
aroused, and they threw him down and
poured all the ice-water they had ov r
him till he begged them to stop. Then
he owned up that he was shamming,
and had recently shammed his way into
Bellevue for a month ana then into St.
Luke's. " Whenever I want a new suit
of clothes and to feed up, 1 go out and
have a fit," he said. The doctors say
this sort of thing is not rare, and that
these well fellows in hospitals make
danger, us thieves there.
The "Hp" System In England.
A London correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune writes as follows: To
" tip " or not to " tip," that is the ques
tion. It may seem a very unimportant
question to one who has never experi
enced the inconvenience and annoyance
of the custom in full swing as it exists
in England, but let me warn my fellow
countrymen that if they ever allow this
habit of " tipping " to wind its thin ten
tacles about their social and business
life, as it ha done here, they will find
it as dreadful a creature as Victor
Hugo's octopus. It is a creature of
very insidious growth. It begins by
voluntary gifts of small sums to porters,
servants, errand boys, etc., either as
bribes for exceptional good service to
the detriment of others who do not
"tip," or as ostentatious and vulgar
gratuities to raiso the giver in the eyes
of the recipients. It is only a step from
trifles of this sort to larger gifts to ob
tain business favors and wider notoriety
for wealth and (spurious) liberality,
until the whole business community is
weighted with an incubus as deadly and
as persistent as Sinbad's " Old 'Man of
the Sea."
The practice of " tipping" extends to
quarters where one wouid least expect
to find it. In the largest as in the
smallest line of business the habit is
universal. ThehousoofW.il. Smith
& Son has a monopoly of the news
agency business of Great Britain ; the
head of tho firm is a member of parlia
ment and first lord ot the admirality.
Yet this firm will require its regular
" tip " with as much vigor as the small
est. The publisher of a London weekly
just struggling into a paying position
toM mo that he was obliged to give
5,000 copies gratis each week to Vf. H.
Smith & Son to induce them to circu
late his paper. Then there is the in
numerable army of officials who not
only expect " tips," but must have them
to be able to live. The tradesman
" tips " your butler and your cook ; the
corn chandler "tips" your coachman and
your groom; the out-aoor teacher
' tips " your in-door governess; and the
doctor is not above " tipping" your
footman. Every guest in your house
pays his footing in the servants' hall at
a rate which otten makes him speculate
whether the underlings in English
country houses do not eventually be
come bloated capitalists.
Tne nominal cost of railway travel
ing and hotel Jiving is far below the
actual figures, owing to the unceasing
calls for " tips." At a railway station a
porter tukes your baggage from the cab,
sixpence ; another takes it to be weighed
and labeled, another sixpence; a third
puts it into the lugnnge-van, sixpence
again; while the guard of the train ex
pects a sixpence at least for showing
you to a compartment and arranging
your parcels. The same performance
over again occurs nt every change of
cars and at your destination . At the
hotels, the porter, the chambermaid,
the page, the room-waiters and the
dining-room waiters all expect liberal
"tips," although you are charged eigh
teen pence per day for " service." And
si) the system goes through every kind
of business. There is a widespread be
lief in the United States that wages in
England are very low. Nominally so,
the are, but the practice of " tipping "
makes up for low wages in many cases.
Of course it is irregular in its working
and demoralizing in its effects; but the
point where it is most felt is in tho in
creased cost of doing business above the
amount calculated. While many work
men and employees derive little or no
benefit from "tips," others get large
amounts, m that the average cost of
doing business is much greater than it
wou.d bp, estimating salaries at the
low nominal rates.
Vera Snssulitch.
Referring to the recent arrest in St.
Petersburg of Vera Sassulitch, who shot
General Trepoff, prefect of the Russian
capital, in February. 1878, the New York
World gives the following sketch of her
career: Few thing which of late have:
occurred in Russia, wiiere stirring events
succeed one another with startling rapid- ;
ity, created so great a sensation as the 1
Vera Sassulitch episode. The woman
was born in 1850, and at seventeen yearn i
of Hge felt the justice or suspicion with i
which the "Empire of Discontent" is ;
swayed. She was the school friend of
the sister of Xctehaieff, the conspirator
whom Switzerland refused to extradite.
Miss Netehaieff was turown into prison
for the offense of being her brother's
sister, and Vera Sassulitch was likewise
imprisoned for being the friend of tho
conspirator's sister. For nine years she
was a prisoner, and as such whs sub
jected to brutal indignities. In 1876 sho
was liberated. A little over a vear later
all liberal-minded people in Russia were
shocked by the brutality of General Tre
poff, who had ordered the severe punish
ment of apolitical prisoner, Bogoiinhoft
who was guilty of the grievous offense
of not having uncovered in Trepoff's au
gust presence. Vera Sassulitch, it is
said had never heard of Bogolinhoff, but
she felt that bv attracting attention to
Trepoff she might end his tyrannies.
Accordingly sue sought an interview
and shot him in the side. The wound
was not fatal, but the woman was tried
for her life. The jury embraced six
mcijbers of the civil service, two mer
chants, a school inspector, a nobleman,
a student and an artist. The audience
of six hundred persons was a splendid
one, admitted by ticket, and was com
posed of people in high station. Though
the offense was admitted the sympathy
of the audience and the general public
was so great that she was acquitted.
The audience greeted the verdict with
cheers, and there was an attempt at a
Nihilist demonstration, but the police
interfered and promptly killed several
persons. Vera's brother-in-law Bred on
the police and then blew out ids own
brains. The woman escaped and several
months later was at a banquet in
Geneva, where, sitting at Henri Roche
fort's right hand, she made so violent a
speech that the Swiss authorities po
litely asked her to move on. From
then until now her movements have
not been a matter of public record.
A Man's Month Sened Up.
The Syracuse (N. Y.) JTerald Fays:
There is one of our city physicians who
is sometimes in the habit of imbibing
too freely, and when the trials and tribu
lations of the busy world bear down
heavily upon him he drowns hit griefs
and drive dull care away in the flowing
bowl. It was while in this condition
that one day he was called to one of the
suburban villages of Syracuse to attend
a man who had received severe gashes '
on his face. The patient was put under i
the influence of ether, and after a fashion
the doctor proceeded to ew up the
man's wounds. When he had completed
the operation, as ho supposed, he ob
served a large opening in the face just
below the nose, from which the blood
was oozing. Afier swallowing another
Sotation from his now nearly empty
ask, the doctor proceeded with renewed
vigor to the task of sewing up the man's
mouth! and after he had finished, ban
daged the man's face and departed. Not
many minutes elapsed before the man
recovered his consciousness, and " Um !
urn ! um !" was heard from underneath
the bandage, and "Ural uml um!" was
repeated as emphatically as it was possi
ble for the man to ejaculate under the
circumstances. Another physician was
called and the bandages and stitches
were removed.
The United States as a Wheat Country
A little over thirty years ago the
Springfield Republican notes. that grain
was imported to this country from the
Black sea. During the crop year on
which the country is just entering, it
claims that it is certain that 160,000,.
000 bushels of wheat will be exported
to Europe, and the amount may reach
800,000,000 bushels. The grain is in
this country; the only question is one
of demand. The demand last year from
Europe was for 159,000,000 bushels out
ot a crop estimated at 420,000,000
bushels. The production this year is
larger. It is one-fourth larger in Kan
sas; in Minnesota the production this
year is 40,000,000 bushels, a large ad
vance over Inst year; the grain fields
of Southern Ohio show an unprece
dented yield: so do those of Iowa; and
in Indiana the crop will, in some cases,
pay for the ground on which it stands.
The wheat acreage of the country is put
at 31,000,000 acres, an increase of onw
fifth in two years. The average yield
is placed at twelve bushels an acre, and
the acreage at 31,000,000 acres, by Alex,
ander Delmar, who wrote to the Times
in the close of July, afteratrip through
the wheat fields of the West, ending at
Ogden. Tho statistician of tho New
York produce exchange puts the aver
age yield at from eleven to twelve
bushels ; other more sanguine estimates
carry it up to thirteen or fourteen bushels
an acre. The lowest estimate yet made
places the crop at 360,000,000, t he largest
ot 440,000,000, and a crop of 490,000.000
may be reasonably counted upon. This
is an increase in ten years of 133,000,000
bushels in the annual wheat production
of this country, and an increase nearly
equal to the total wheat harvest of
twenty years ago.
Out of this year's harvest, reckoning
the population in this country at 48,500,
000 persons, 194,000,000 bushels will be
needed for consumption and 50,000,000
for seed, in all 244,000,000; leaving, at
the highest estimate, 196,000,000 for ex
port, to wliich may be added 20.000.000
leftover from last year's crop. Whether
the European demand will be equal
the amount of surplus wheat in this
country is considered by the Republican
as doubtful. It will unquestionably
equal last year's demand, and the value
ot the breadstuffs exported during the
coming year will probably reach $150.
000,000, and may rise to a higher figure.
The unknown quantity in the wheai sup
ply of the world is Russia. Its harveet
has been pronounced far under the
average for weeks past, but recent ad
vices tell a different story. At best,
however, nothing more than an aver
age surplus for export is to be expected,
not over 50,000,000 bushels; and if
this is supplemented by the usual Eu
ropean import, 20.000.000 bushels from
Koumania, and 5,000,000 from Canada
and Australia, the total wheat supply
which Europe is likely to receive irorii
points outside of this country may be
placed at 75 000,000. The current defi
ciency in Europe is placed at from 225,
000,000 to 275,000,000 bushels.
Who Took the Money
Over in the State of California, in the
town of San Leandro, there lives a man
named Neil Haast-asingularname, bo
cause "double a "is not used very often.
This Mr. Haast kept !a boarding-house
nnd there lived with him inny men
who worked on a railroad not far from
San Leandro. Now as the boarding
house keeper does not own an iron sate
he lias been in the habit of hiding his
bag of money under a barrel in the cel
lar. One day recently he went to the
cellar to make some change and at that
moment noticed that the buckskin
moneybag contained two hundred and
eighty dollars in gold and silver. An
hour or so later ho again had occasion
to make change, for on that afternoon
his boarders were settling their bills,
and down he went for the money b ig.
Loand behold ! the bag was gone. "There
was not a tractf of it not even a penny
left. Mr. Haast was troubled. Two
hundred and eighty dollars was a big
Finn to him, as it is to many other per
sons, and it almost broke his heart tc
' hink that it had taken wings and flown.
Mr. Haast tapped his forehead witli his
Crrer. "Aha!" he said, "Brampton,
the butcher, is the only body who's been
in the cellar. I must arrest Brampton."
But he held his head down and thou a lit
for awhile. Mr. Brampton was said by
every one to be an honest man ; ho had
a cheery laugh, a hnppy " good morn
ing " for all, and was never known to
give bad weight in making a sale. Could
it be Brampton P Thus our boarding
house keeper reflected and at last sadly
shaking his head made up his mind that
Mr. Brampton should goto jail. Mean
while Mrs. Haast had entered the cellar.
"Look around, Neil," she said, "per
haps you dropped the bag and didn't
know it." The husband and wife then
began to look around boxes were re
moved, barrels rolled away and things
cleared up generally. Not a clue could
be found. " Let's poke a stick into that
big rat hole," said Airs. Haast. " Oh,
it's no use," replied Mr. Haast; but the
wifo got a long stick and shoved away.
" I feel something funny in there," she
exclaimed. " If we only had a stick
with a hook on the end." So they got
a stick with a piece of bent wire fastened
to the end and pulled out the obje. t. It
was an empty ginger bottle. That was
discouraging, but the two reasoned that
if a rat could carry oft' a ginger bottle
ho could carry off a little bag of money
also. Again the stick was worked
around in the rat-holo and again a hard
object was felt. "That's the money,"
said Mrs Haast, and sure enough it was,
for a bad old rat and not good Bramp
ton, the butcher, was the thief. Mr.
Haast got all his coin back us the bag
had not been torn.
Typhoid Fever.
Typhoid fever is, of all diseases, pre
eminently a filth disease, traceable with
as much certainty as fire from smoke.
Wherever it exists it points unequivo
cally to unremoved filth, and is a disease
therefore altogether and wholly pre
ventable by proper sanitary measures.
Notwithstanding, during the census
year of 1870, there wero in thn United
States 22,187 preventable deaths from
typhoid fever. But had there been the
same ratio to the total population of tho
United States as in Philadelphia during
centennial year, the mortality from this
cause would have been over 37,000. And
this was far from being all as regards
Philadelphia. All over the country
fatal cases of typhoid lever, and other
diseases nearly allied to it, were attribu
table to the csntennial visitation the
neglected drainage, criminal insuffi
ciency of water-closets and bad plumb
ing. These conditions, so prominently

Universal experience attests that water
closets inadequately provided with
means for speedy and complete cleansing
and aeration are proline sources of
typhoid fever and kindred affections in
all temperate latitudes, and, with pre
vailing high temperature and moisture,
ofthestili more deadly disease, yellow
fever. And all the more dangerous are
these conditions because they are not

disease to distant places. The exist

in any place is prima facie evidence of
filthy surroundings. Bantiarvin.

the papers. I'm thinking they must be cheap
at ninety-live cents, and I'll just take home
two pair to the old man."
It was difficult at first to convince the old
lady that the figures " 95 " referred to quality,
not price, and that the boots were 95 per
cent, sterling pure; but when she was ahowu
a sample cut opon to display the interior, and
jnw that the soles were halt an inch thick of

That a remedy made of such common,
