The newest long cloHk.for theatre
and general evening wear is crepe de
Cliiuo. It is lightly stretched around
tb shonlders to about the elbow, and
from this point to the ground nil the
fullness is set into narrow little rib
bons or tucks, doing away with nil
folds or flutes. This is n reversal of
the usual order of thingp, tucks and
straigbtness below the elbow instead
of above it, as for n tall, slim woman
tho innovation is very becoming. The
high collar of this cloak is edged with
leathers and the edges of the front
and ull around the bottou are bordered
with nuttod iiilk fringe.

It is extraordinary what a trims
formntion a well-cut corset will ell'oct
in a woman's appearance, and how,
without any perceptible pressure, the
waist may be lengthened even as
much as two inches. This is really a
very important consideration at the
present time, when princess dresses
and eelskin skirts are so popular, and
auy one who wishes to havo an ele
gant and graceful appearance should
first of all give consideration to the
corset, otherwise the work of the
dressmaker is likely to be lout.
Sequins Are Fanliinmil)!.
Sequins are to be seen on many
things this wiuter, particularly on thiu
goods with lace effects. White gowna
of net are covered vith them, but
they must bo sewed on carefully, and
home sewing is usually better than
that of the shops. It is better to
have no sequins at all than a sequiu
off here and there. It ia a degree
worse than a missing boot button.

brim of velvet comes nearer than any
other to being the prevailing mode,
as almost invariably becoming to pret
ty hair, the small, close-draped velvet
toque, worn over the face, is also a
favorite to accompany tailor dress. It
is trimmed with stitched bands of
ftloth or Bilk, and a bird or an airy
butterfly is added for garniture.
A striking piece of headgour is tho
accompanying example taken from the
Dry Goods Economist. It is a hat of
brown and blue velvet, with roses
merging from eoru to dark-brown sur
rounding the brim. The butterfly
hows both coloriugs on a cream

None but Hattcnug comments are to

reveal themselves, and powerful as
lias been the effort to coax, women to
accept more decoration on their skirts,
the waists, bodioes and blouses of the

all the real glory and color.
Stitching is in high favor as a finish
for wraps and costumes. A fine ex

mid enlarging the wnist, are continued
to the belt, kept lint, and sewed with
lingerie stitch. Theso pleats are ar

There is a new kind of chenille
trimming a moss-liko silk braid
starred with points of chenille that

shapes. It seems likely to take the
plane of jetted and spaugled trimmings
ibis wiuter. There are toques and
trieorus, both with turned-up brims,
1 arreted or scalloped, made of such
braids. One of t lie latter, of pale,

about the hips and very muoh flared
around the bottom, sleeeves arc small,
collars high, some basques are shown,
and fringe is the aame of novelty.
The favorite model in skirts will be
a senmloss circular shape, fitting like
a glove ovor the hips and back, and
flaring at tho bottom to tho width of
from four and a bnlf to five yards.
This flare is very perceptible as the
skirt is hold up, with one hand hold

The Manila correspondent of the
Chicago Kocord, Harry A.Armstrong,
has written the following account of
how our soldiers in the Philippines
aro fed:
Major D. L. Brainard, Chief of the
Commissary Department of the
Lighth Army Corps, has asked for
leave of absence that ho may take a
rest. Tho Major has been putting in
half time for several days past, and a
week ago he was sick at his head
quarters. Ilis physician has advised
him to get away from his desk, and if
he gets permission of General Otis he
will spend a month or two in Japan,
far away from thoughts of bacon and
beans and out of sight of the cans of
hardtack.
' The Chief Commissary has no easy
time of it. About 30,000 soldiers are
fod three times a dny, nud supplies
must be kept up for the sustenance of
the officers and tho civil employes that
the Government hires. Upon the
etlloiency of the Commissary every in
dividual in the army is dependent.
Provision is being made for 00,000
troops, and additional snpplios aro
beginning to come by steamer. Or
ders are given first on the Commissary-General
in Washington and the
supplies are bought in tho states nud
shipped out cither by transports,
chartered vessols or commercial lines
by way of Hong Koug. The ship
ments are so arranged that a cargo ar
rives every ten days. Cascoes go out
to meet the ships in tho bay and bring
the tons of onions, potatoes, beef and
bacon to the storehouse. The varioty
of things in these cargoes would suf
fice to stock a big grocery. Tho list
includes everything from soap,
candles, salt, salmon, beans, Hour and
canned goods to pins, shoestrings and
matches. All tho wants of the man
away from homo nre provided for, and
nil at first cost to tho Government.
The supply department is down on
the river front. Cascoes with red
noses and new wicker covers are tied
up five deep in tho river before the
door and coolies teeter up to the dark
door of the cavernous warehouse with
boxes and bags from morning until
night.
Captain KrnutholT has chargo of the
"issues" department of the coiumis
sury, and it is his duty to keep stock
of his supplies, "checking in" all the
things that come from the ship and
"checking out" those things which
are taken away ou requisition and
which go to the, camps. He has his
olllco iu a building that overlooks the
water front. His clerks enter the in
voices in one book aud the requisi
sitions in another, while a sergeaut
with a half-dozen men takes care of
the warehouses. There are two of
theso buildings, and when tho army
increases there will be a third. These
structures have a floor space of 00,
000 square feet nearly two aores
and are more than twouty feet iu
height. The boxes of provisions are
piled up in high walls with narrow
alleys running between. The sergeant
iu charge knows where every article
is located and can lay his hands ou
tho wash-basins or the barrels of flour
when the requisitions call for thorn.
There ore iu storage provisions to the
amount of 2,700 tons, and the supply
is worth to the govermont something
like $200,000. There nre supposod to
bo at least 1,200,000 rations in tho
depots.
The army consumes 4,332,000
pounds of supplies every thirty days.
Twenty ounces of beef ure issued to
each man seven days out of tou. Tho
issue of ten days' rations for tho !50,
000 men amounts to 202,000 pounds.
Tho beef is usually frozon when it
gets out in the field. It is kept frozen
on shipboard long before the boat
sails from Kan Francisco. Sometimes
the meat issuo is of mutton and the
men enjoy the luxury of eating mutton
chops while iu lino nt the front.
Buuon comes two days in ten and
makes a totul for the mouth of 135,
000 ponuds. Tho men like bacon,
however, aud would not protest if it
came nftenor on tho bill of fare. Sal
mon con1 oi one day iu ten. There
never ha'j been a raging demand for
fish that comes in tins, but of this
00,000 cans go out overy month. Of
flour 1,012,500 pounds aro used
inouthly. lietuis come every day, and
it takos 135,000 pounds a mouth to go
around. About 78,750 pounds of rice
ore used overy mouth, with seven
days' issuo out of tou. liico, toe, is a
popular dish, uud whou served with
native sugar is u palutablo delioucy.
Oatmeal is issued iu tho saino quau
tity asrioo. Dried fruits soinotiiues
evaporated apples and sometimes ap
ricots come sevou days out of ton,
78,750 pounds being issued each
mouth.
Potatoes aro issued overy day, in
bushel orates, and when fie issuo for
the ten days in complete 22,500 pounds
are gone. Of onions 135,000 uounds
a mouth ure used. Tomatoes are used
to the weight of 00,000 pounds a
mouth. Of green ooffco 00,000 ponuds
a mouth ii ro required nnd 72,000
ponuds of roasted and ground coll'oo
are used iu tlio same period. Tlieuriny
requires 0000 gallons of vinogar, iSG,
100 pounds of salt, 2250 pounds of
black pepper, 30,000 pounds of soap
and 13,000 pounds of euudles month
ly. Altogether the total supplies of
the army amount to 215,025 pounds ir
day, l,'i!il,O0D pounds for ten days
and 4,3.12,000 for tho total of thirty
days. For a year this makes a grand
total of 81, -181,125 pounds, or ubout
40,000 tuns.
This does not include tho issues
from tho. sales oomiuissary, which aro
one halt more. Tho sales commissary
is tho institution which makos it pos
sible for tho families of the officers to
live in Manila. If officers were coin
pullu I to buy tho necessities of life at
the stores ou tho Escoltit Jt hey would
havo to pity treble the prices. Goods
sold by merchants have had to pay
duty, nud the merchant also must re
cover the expenses of freight.
Major Bi'uinard talked pleasantly of
the work that has broken his health.
"The system," he said, "has been de
veloped to pevfectiuu horo, and things
go on as by clockwork. Forinstanoe,
when the army was all in Manila we
issued rations from the storehouses.
On issue day two doors were thrown
open, and it did not take longer than
tiftoou minutes to do the work for a
regimont, and five hours was sufficient
to supply the entire corps.
"Now the second division, General
MacArthur commanding, gets its ten
dnys' rations all at once, and the com
missnry ouptaiu ships the whole lot np
on tho train to San Fernando, na
tions for Goneral Grant's lines are
sent by cases to Hacoor and from thero
taken by bull trains to the different
commands. Wheuwe got 00,000 ftion
hero we shall have to work harder, but
tho gororumout will give us more
help."

I think, the following is an instauco

distinct from uny acquired instinct.
I havo a bull-pup aged ton months and
another bulldog four years old, both
of which live in the house and aro
great pets. A short lime ago my wife
was ill, aud, though the older dog,
owing to his quiet aud sedate ways,
was allowed to enter her room, the
puppy was never admitted. Tho nurse
could always toll which dog was at the
door because the older dog gave one
eiaglo and goullo scratch nnd theu
remained quiet, while tho pppy
scratched violently and frequently and
whined. The puppy apparently could
not understand why bIio was not ad
mitted, and felt her exclusion sorely.
One dny she scratched furiously as
usual. No notice was taken. Presently
sho was heard going flop, flop down
stairs. Iu a few minutes the single
gentle scratch of tho old dog was
heard, the door was opened and there
woro both dogs, nud, strango to say,
from that time tho puppy so imitated
tho sornteh of the other dog that it
was impossible to toll which wns at
the door. Undoubtedly the puppy
went and asked the old dog to show
her how ho gained admission. How
else oau one explain the fact? Corre

"Yes, master," answered ono.
"Then don't you see a notice affixed

"To be sure we do. That's the

British Officials Walked Hsrafont Over
lied Hot Stones Unseotheil.
Some weeks ago, writes Andrew
Lang in the London Athenmura, Icon
leased in the Atheniruni a description
f the Fijian fire walk (Uinu Ti). In
:he Journal of the Polynesian Society,
Colonel Gudgeon, British resident of
Flaratonga, late a Jutlgj in the native
Land Court, nnd an accomplished stn
dent of the Maori speech, records his
awn experionco. A Raiatea man,
young, but of tho lire-walking clnn,
officiated. Tho date was January 20,
ISO!). As usual, n large fire had been
blazing on a foundation of stones; the
burning logs were booked ont nnd at
2 p. m. Colonol Gudgeon found the
glowing stones ready for the cere
mony. Tho officiating llaiatea man
pointed out to his native pupil that
two stones were not hot, they having
boen taken from a mario or sacred
place. Nothing was dono by way of
mngic except that the llaiateon spoko
a few words (not reported) whilo he
aud his tauira, or pupil, thrice struck
tho edge of the oven with witch
brunohes of tho ti (Druoicna). "Then
thoy walked slowly aud deliberately
over the two fathoms of hot stones."
Tho pupil handed his branch to Mr.
Goodwiu (on whoso land tho perform
uuco took place) and said: "I give my
maun over to you; lead your friends
across." The word maim menus a king
of "magnetic" or magical force which
individuals nre supposed to possess
in differing proportions. Perhaps
"powor" is the best English equival
ent for m ana.
Colonel Gudgeon, before theso per
formances, had asked that tho glowing
stones "should bo leveled down a bit,"
ns his feet "woro noturally touder,"
nnd so the stones were "leveled flat."
In walking across, three white meu ac
companied him Dr. W. Craig, Dr.
Georgo Craig, and Mr. Goodwin. Col
onel Gudgeon "got across unscathed."
He says: "I kuow quite well I was
walking on red-hot stones, and could
feel tho heat, yet I was not burned.
felt something resembling slight eloo
trio shocks, both at the time aud after
ward, bnt thnt is nil."
As to tho heat, the oven is rondo for
cooking the ti, whioh is put iu aftoi
the rite. Half au hour after thnt per
formance a green branch thrown iuto
the oven blazed in a quarter of a min
ute. Tho ti (teste Colonel Gndgoon,
who ate his share) wns well cooked.
He wnlkod "with deliberation," and
"tho very tender skin of my foot was
not even hardened by tho fire." He
oilers no explanatory hypothesis.
In this cuBe (1) no preparation of
nny kind wns applied to the feet; (2)
they were not hardened by walking
unshod; (3) no abnormal psychical
condition was involved. Three stock

my little friend what they lived upon,
ami ho told me nuts and fruits from

animals that they killod. "Whatani
mals can you kill?" I nskod tho little
chief who Blood before me ou this
memorable occasion. "Antelope,
buffalo ond elephants," said he.
"What?" I said, "little people liko
you killing bufl'ulo aud elephants!"
At whioh he laughed honrtily and
turned to tell his companions what I
had said, and they also joinod in the
fun. "How do you manage it?" I
nskod. "With these," holdiug up his
bow and arrows. "Very many of us
surround the elephant nud shoot
many arrows into it." "But," said I,
"how long do you take to kill an ele
phant?" "Oh!" he replied, "some
times three days, sometimes six days,
but whou he is dead wo make our
tents round the carcass and thero stop
till we have euen all the meat, aud
thou wo hunt auother elephant."
From this remark, oue gathered nt

through laws preventing indiscrimi
nate fishing practices, and establish
ing regular culture of native nnd for
eign spcoies of fish. Iu Washington
wotors the catch is already very large,
nndiuoludes salmon, halibut, ood nud
other kinds. Ia Oregon, salmon fish
ing along tho Columbia represents
nearly the whole of the fishing busi
ness. It bognu some thirty years ago,
and has been pursued on a large scalo
ever sinoe. As early us 1870 15,000
tons of canned salmon were shipped
from Astoria nt the mouth of tho river
to San Frauoisoo, nud from then until
now the "crop" has varied from 10,01)0
to ovor 20,000 tons (thirty-one cases
of four dozen one and one-half-pound
cans each make a long ton), a season,
nnd this notwithstanding the intense
competition which tho catch iu the
waters of Washington, British Colum
bia, and even of AlasKa, amounting
together to nearly 30,000 tous more
this season, hus created. Sometimes
it seemed as though a decline in the
run of the fish had sot in, but such
fears have always been dispelled by
its appearance in largor shoals. New

Ihe Vttlutible liiinmui,
Tho banana is said to havo thirty
four times tho nutritive value of the
potato and twenty-live times that of
breail. In tho West Indies the na
tives cut the fruit iuto strips, called
"pegs," dry theso iu the sun, and grind
thorn into flour, out of whioh many
excellent dishes are made. No cheaper
food grows in the tropics. The plant
begins lioaring fourteen months after
being plunted; it requires no cultiva
tion and produces harvests uninter
ruptedly for oloven years. A few foot
of ground nourishes a plant, and tho
spaeo of a dooryard will grow plants
enough to maintain a largo family.
The Itlryole Giant.
A rider using a wheel of 120-r;er.r,
according to the Scientific Amurioan,
becomes, in eflect, a striding gii.ut.
Every revolution of tho crank carries
the wheel forward 31 feet. This re
quires two strokes, oue with each foot;
uud is, consequently, equivalent to
two steps taken by n walker. The
average space covered by a uinu iu two
steps is live feet, so thot, prciurviuf;
about the same proportion of dit Uuce
