STYLESJX CANES.
African Walking Sticks Are No
Fashionable.
Many Novelties Manufactured
From Imported Wooda
So many persons carry canes nowa
days that the manufacture of tbis ad
junct to dress has boonme quite an im
portant American industry. It is trne
that moat of the unfinished sticks are
imported, but hundreds of people are
kept busy preparing them for market.
Teople prefer wood of foreign
growth.
Fashions in canes change with other
dross and for several years the only
proper stick to carry has been of nat
ural wood. These sticks are treated
while growing to givo thorn a knotty
appearance. Xo one in this country
could afford to spend the time in
watching and trimming sprouts, but in
the rural districts of Europe there are
many people who enrn a livelihood in
canestick growing.
There is reported to be ono wood
grown in America for walking sticks,
and that is Irinh blackthorn. Accord
ing to an old ennomnker, the introduc
tion of Irish blnckthorn in the United
States was begun by a native of Now
Jersey, who a few years ago brought
somo roots over from Ireland and
planted thcin. The roots sprouted
easily, and it is now said that "Jersey
Irish" blackthorn sticks are superior
to those from the Emerald Isle. But
as blackthorn it decidedly out of dnte,
it is possiblo that the Xow Jersey arti
cle will not cut much of a figure in cauo
manufacture for some time to come.
The moBt popular wood for a year
or more has been what is known as
tho Congo oak, a stick supposed to
come from tho valley of tho Congo,
but tho bulk of which is imported
from Hungary and other countries of
Europe. It is tho cultivation which
makes tho Congo oiik canes what they
are. All sticks are marred while
growing, so as to have tho regular lino
of knobs, that gives the cane its
valuo. Theyoro imported straight, and
nro bont and trimmed in this country.
A wood that holds its own through all
tho changes in style is the French ad
reletto. Among tho other foreign
woods now populnr are Scotch firs,
Madagascar swamp wood and English
ash. The sweet-scented German and
Scotch wcxel is gutting out of date.
Many cane sticks are now imported
from the West Indies, Central Ameri
ca and tho fortile rogion of the Ama
zon, and are finished under various
names. China and Japan have also
furnished their share of canes, in a
variety of bamboo sticks, which nre
considered choioo by many people. In
New York city there are over two hun
dred small shops where those sticks
are bent, stained and trimmed.
There have been known a number
of noted men whose hobby was the
collection of all varieties of canes,
and it is said that Lester Wallack ool
looted (luring his lifetime several hun
dred of the finest and rarest kinds.
The most valuable of all woods for
cane-making is said to be Afrioan oak,
which only grows on the edges of the
desert, and so slowly that it takes
years for the wood to become the sizo
neoessary for a cane. There are re
ported to be bat half a dozen oanes of
it in the United States.
The constant tendency of the Amor
can mind to have some new, requires
cane dealors to continually bring out
new sticks. A new taking style of
wood is shortly expeoted. New York
Advertiser.
Carrier Pigeons For tho Kavy.
Professor Marion instructor of
modern languages at the United
Stutos Naval Academy, who has oharge
of the pigoon loft there, says that
Socretury Herbert is entirely in favor
of the system of the use of carrier
pigeons in the navy and that it is the
hope of those interested to have car
rier pigeon ootos at all onr naval sta
tions. Seoretary Herbert got an idea
of what could be done by pigeons
while on the last trip on the Dol
phin. Professor Marion has invented n
method of carrying messages in small
aluminum wator-tight oases attached
to the legs of the birds. This devioe
it is thought is a great advance over
the present method of attaobing the
message to a tail feather of the bird
for frequently the feather is pulled
oat and the message lost.
Captain R. L. Fhythian while Sup
erintendent of the Naval Aoademy,
took the greatest interest in the work
and experiments of Professor Marion,
and other officers at the station have
paid similar attention to it. Captain
' Pbythiau believes that the experiments
which have been made with homing
pigeons at the Naval Academy have
demonstrated that the birds can bo
mado valuable in carrying communica
tions from vessels operating near the
coast, and that the pigeon service
should be established on a recognized
basis. Last summer birds were taken
aboard the Monongahelin and tho
Bancroft on the summer crnise of the
cadets and during the whole period
only nine birds failed to appear, or
less than ton per cent of the entire
number. Somo of these nine birds are
accounted for by the fact that they
wore liberated from the ships off the
mouth of Deleware Bay, and mistak
ing it for the Chesapeake with whose
waters they had beoome familiar had
flown directly np probably to the vic
inity of Philadelphia, and so wore
lost. Professor Marion docs not
claim that his birds are infallible, but
ho objects to certain statements made
by Joseph Lugnol the pigeon expert
at Paris. M. Lugnol said that the
pigeon could not fly at sea further
than 200 kilometres, or about 123
milos ; that at a greater distance from
land they would refuse to leave the
ship and that they became sea sick.
Professor Marion replies that his ex
periments have been attended with
greater success and that iustcad of
200 kilometres the flights of his birds
have in several instances been as long
as 200 miles over the ocean, with a
Fpeed somewhere near thirty miles an
hour. New York Sun.
Beasts as Mind Renders.
"Do you think animals communi
cate together?" was asked of Hugen
beck the lion tamer.
"They put their heads closo togcthor
and seem to have a sort of sign lan
guage. They express such simple
thoughts as 'I'm tired,' 'get out of tho
way,' 'htand back,' 'are you well?'
quite plainly, to my observation,
among each other.
"Tho lnngtiuge of animals seems
quite plain to mo," continued the fa
mous lion tamer, earnestly. "Men
have a considerable ability to com
municate facial expression and ges
ture, but school themselves to repress
theso natural expressions of rage, fear
or friendship, and say by oral lan
guage what their wisdom dictates,
often quite tho opposite of what they
feol.
Animals on the other hand nro too
simple to make believe, and this gift,
which men misuse, is their regulnr
mode of communication. Notice how
quickly a dog scents rage or sorow in
his mastor's face. We can't see the
expression of a lion's face except of
rage, but his companions can.
"I have also thought that animals
have the gift of thought reading in
stead of power to speak. Did you
ever see one animal fail to understand
another? I never saw such an instance.
The range of their thoughts is limited.
I do not think they can read men's
thoughts exoopt very imperfectly, bo
cause they are bo extensive aud com
plex beyond their comprehension. I
am inclined to think that what we call
mind reading is mere survival here,
and there of the lost sixth senso whioh
was probably common to primitive
man, and which animals possess to this
day." Kansas City Star.
Tlio Slaughter of Elephants.
In Berlin a number of African trav
elers, colonial politicians and scienti
fic men have formed a "Committee
for the Purpose of Taming and Pre
serving the African Elephant. It is
computed, acoording to statistical data
of the exports of ivory, that no fewer
than 50,000 to 60,000 elephants are
killed every year. The committee say
that being so, the time is not far dis
stant when the last elephant in Africa
will have disappeared.
With such prospect in view, the
committtee have decided to put a Btop
to this mischievous slaughter. By
taming and maining the last represen
tatives of a fast-dying-out animal
would the committee hope to pre
serve unimpaired the enormous power
that the elephant is known to possess,
so that he may be of still further use
to mankind. The German Colonial
Company have already devoted a large
sum of money to this purpose, and now
the Colonial Department ot the For
eign Office have augmented this sum
by granting a liberal allowance. Lon

The French Woman's lint ts Perched
on Her Korehrnrt, While Her Kni
Hsh Sister Is Very l'rlin-lvoos:-Ing
Deauttful Utuuscs.
THERE is stilt an enormous
difference between French
anil English styles, and where
one woman can wear the lat
ter with gratification to herself and
friends, another looks much better
and prettier in Parisian-made gowns,
says a Paris fashion letter to the New
York Journal.
To begin with the hat, the French
woman wears that right on the top of
her forehead, her hair is dressed very
wide at the sides and very close to the
nape ot her neck in the back ; her
skirt is extremely full in front, her
iscket left open, and quantities of rib
ions and laces adorn her neck.
Her English shiter, on the contrary,
is very prim in appearance ; the bat
sets far back, showing an expanse of
fringe in front and large coils in the
back I the fullness of the skirt is only
in the back, and the blouse is invari
ably of simple detail, with a neat box
plait down the front, guileless of lace.
Speaking of blouses, I saw some
genuine beauties in the shops yester
day, and accordingly send you some
SOME TRETTY PARISIAN BODICES.
cuts of my favorites, being sure you
will appreciate the novel and dainty
affairs.
Iu No. 1 you will see a bodice of
violet velvet, with an original tront
of waved violet chiffon, the baok cor
responding. Vandykes of ecru
guipure, now laid over violet velvet,
now falling loosely over the chiffon,
enrich the blouse and delight the eye.
In No. 2 there is a large collar of
white ruuiliu and lace, over a Chine
silk blouse, shot-gray and red, aud
showered over with tinny black spots.
No. 3 is exceedingly Parisian in
tone, made as it is of soft heliotrope
surah silk and tan lace insertion. The
front is a mass of tiny tucks, broken
here and there by a band of insertion.
It is of the pouch order and fastens at
the side, while the back, which cor
responds in trimming, is close-fitting.
Puffed elbow sleeves are held into
the arm by a twist of silk.
Pale belotrope surah is also used in
the make-up No. 4, which boasts of a
box plait and zouave jacket of lace.
No. 5 is quite a novelty in black
stockinette, with apricot silk sleeves
and note the daintiness collar, box
plait, dotted with groups of three
small buttons. The design may be
repeated in white or any colored silk.
In No. 6 the bodice is of shot-rose
and fanoy surah silk, spotted. The
oiroular yoke is trimmed with two
bands of tiny gathers, which almost
resemble a necklet, and the collar
band is fulled at the sides.
There is no doubt that alpaca is to
be a very serious rival to crepon as a
fashionable fabrio, and many dresses
for ordinary wear are made of , this
material. In all cases the lawn collar,
edged with lace, is an enormous im
provement to an alpaca coat.
In gloves tho latest thing is a cane
colored chevrette, finished with Victor
points, blaok or self-colored, aud four
largo pearl buttons. Lavender aud
white kids will also ba muoU worn.
CAPfiS AND JACKETS.
The capes are shorter, fuller and
jauntier than ever and stand out over
the voluminous sleeves with grace and
dignity. The ones to match the dainty

lace bats are ot aooordion pleated
chiffon with ruohing around edge and
neck and yoke trimming of the finest
jetted lace. They come midway to
the waist and the front art slightly
1
pointed, long ends of ribbons com
pleting the dainty effect. Very hand,
some velvet styles full sweep military
or pointed fronts nre finished with
shorter capes of hand cut jet passe
menterie or medallions ol jet with a
satin ruche on edge and neck. Sun
set moire capes are likely to be worn
to somo extent with skirts oi the same
material, and combined with chiffon
and jet they are very handsome. In
cloth appliqued on satin or silk the
designs outlined with jet are many
beautiful examples, both in black and
plain colors, and bead and jet em
broidery are also seen.
Jackets come in plain and mixed
materials, the full sleeves slipping
easily over those of the gown and are
stylish and serviceable. They are
worn as short as possible and very full
at the back, and lined throughout
with plain or brocaded satin, the ro
vers and collars trimmed with heavy
embroidered linen or Russian lace.
WAtSTS OBOW IS BEAITT.
Nothing seems to affect the popu
larity of the ever-lovely fancy waist.
Its economy is doubtless ono good
reason for this, for with one smart
skirt and several dainty waists a num
ber of striking toilets may be evolved
at comparatively small expense. The
style is also becoming to uearly every
sort of figure, and is a happy medium
between absolute evening dress aud
the severity ot the street gown.
Chillon continues to be the fuvorito
material used. Its delicacy of texture
and soft coloring nre peculiarly
adapted to the effect sought after. A
fetching chiffon waist seen recently
had rn entire yoka of pearls iucrusted
in gold, with perpendicular rows of
the samo trimminr extending to the
waist-line. A huge ruff of the chiff in,
which was pale rose in color, nud
fluffy sleeves completed the design.
WAIST Or PLAID SILK.
Another new waist was ol creamy
white chiffon, with shoulder straps
aud girdle of dark greoo velvet. Tue
decollete corsage ha I a blouse effect
and was charininzly trimmed with
tabs of fruit-green moire antique, the
wavy design being outlined with de
licate pink spangles. This same trim
ming added beauty to tho full chiffon
bleeve.
JTOB OUTING DltKSSEI.
The outing dress, with jacket bo linf,
is going to be made with the godet
skirt very full, nud the bodice has a
short ripple basque with two tiny
pockets in the fronts aud the regula
tion revert with turn-down collar.
The vest of tbis dresi material forms
a bi box plait iu the center, with
several tucks at the top on either side
of the center plait. If desired the
vest can be oi silk, with stock collar,
aud for warmer days a shirt waist
can be substituted.

How Brick Tea Is Made.
Great quantities of tea are exported
to Russia and Mongolia every year in
the shape ot bricks, writes Frank G.
Carpenter. These are made ot the
lower grades of tea and of ten dust.
The leaves are ground up and steamed
and cooked until they nro soft aud
mushy. They are thou put into
molds about the size of an ordinary
brick and are pressed into shape, so
that they become as hard as chocolate
cakes. The finer varictios are molded
into small cakes, in fact, of just about
tho size of the small cakes of sweet
chocolate which you buy in the candy
stores. I visited several of the iac
tories in Haukow, which make this
kind of tea, and the process was even
less appetizing than that which I de
scribed as to the ordinary tea. The
factories, in the first place, nre very
warm. The steaming tea is bandied
by dirty coolies, nud is sweetened by
perspiratiou. After the bricks nre
finished they nre carried by boats up
the rivers aud canals to Tientsin, and
from thence go on camels into Mon
golia and ou to Russia. There are
about sixty bricks in one package, and
they are so arranged that they can be
carried ou camels. This brick tea
takes the place of money in many
parts of Asia, and iu Mongolia it
passes as currency, each brick being
worth from fifteen to twenty cents.
The Mongols divide a brick into
thirty equal parts. They boil it with
milk, butter, sheep fat aud salt, using
camel dung for fuel. I visited one of
the largest of the brick tea factories
in Haukow, and I met Russians there
who were making fortunes out of
shipping brick tea to Russia. Some
of the factories employ more tbau s
thousand bauds, aud the business is
almost an great as that ot shipping
tea to Europe,
New l ulled Mates Army Cap.
Herewith is presented a picture of the

cap thut seems to be a much more sensi
ble piece of headgear than the one whioh
it will displace alter July 1, as to of
ficers, aud after January 1, 1390, for
enlisted men. Those among army
officers who see no necessity for a
change criticise the new cap as being
devoid of what they term "military
smartness," but none of them bus as
yet attempted to assail the cap as a
practical piece of wearing apparel.
Among the advantages it has over the
present headgear the most oonspiou
ous one is that it will stay on the bead
