The drink bill of England was more than its clothing hill or its fighting hill for the last year of the old een tury. It never occurred to the men who were engaged in fighting George Washington that John Bull would one day borrow money from the United States. The somewhat hackneyed "gag" "Put me oil at Buffalo," gains new life and significance this year, and will doubtless be the spoken or unspoken desire of millions. Among the many changes necessi tated by the death of Queen Victoria, one which is not unimportant is the printing on all legal documents "God Save the King" for "God Save the Queen." This change alone, it is es timated, will cost $2,000,000. English writers begin to accept the supremacy of Americans in the pro duction of steel, and to console them selves with tile idea that Great Britain will be able to purchase its steel cheap er than it could produce it, and so get the advantage of American productivi ty, A careful statistician would find, no doubt, that firearms get nine persons into serious trouble where tlicy get one out. The public, as reflected in the daily criminal news, is ruitc too han dy witli a gun. And the gun itself appears to bo quite too handy for use. A man with a quick temper should, in his calmer moments, put all fire arms beyond his reach. The English tongue seems to have tho advantage to-day. A hundred years ago English was a barbarous sound to most of tho inhabitants cf the globe. In ISOO there were only twenty millions who heard that drum heat which Daniel Webster spoke of later as rolling around the world. To day there is more warning of suprem acy often in the English voice than in tho English trumpet. In the case of tlie actress who com mitted suicide in New York City, over weening ambition was mistaken for genius. This is a common error. We seldom find great genius without cor responding ambition, but (lie differ ence is wide. Genius possesses pa tience—indeed, ambition and patience form together its greatest part. And suicide springs more than anything else from the impatience which can not brook tlie petty delay or unappre ciated which may sadden tho truest genius but can never murder it. Fifteen or twenty workmen, selected from as many different establishments and representing a variety of indus tries in Great Britain, are soon to be sent to the United .States in a body to study the ways of their Yankee cous ins. A month or more will lie devoted to the task, and during that time the deputation will visit tho principal manufacturing centres of tho country. Each man is to he designated liy the concern which employs him, but lie is to lie chosen from a number that have been nominated by their fellows. Em ployers and trade unions will co-oper ate in meeting the expense of the un dertaking.

Although the rest of the guests—of the gentler sex—ut the Hotel Helena sometimes said unkind things about Mrs. Weston, that lightheartcd littlo lady was, perhaps, like a certain per son not mentioned in polite society, not quite as black as sho was painted. It Is true she did like to talk to interest ing men, whether they happened to be married or not, and the men, interest ing and otherwise, liked very much to talk to her. And when Mr. Hartleigh began to show a distinct preference for her society in that luzy hour or two after dinner while digestion went com fortably 011 to the soothing strains of the mandolin orchestra, Mrs. Weston took it as a matter of course. The Hartleighs had always shown their fondness for each other as much as good breeding would permit, and to the casual observer, there was no change in their mutual regard. But Mrs. Weston scented trouble through her high-bred little nose as accurately as a thoroughbred racer sniffs danger borne to his quivering nostrils on the summer breeze. And when Hartleigh brought his in dolent post-prandial revolutions to an anchorage beside her chair, she re ceived him with the tact that questions not, but waits. And such tact is worth unminted gold to women, if they but knew it. A few do. So, one evening, sho learned all about it. She knew that Hartleigh was not in love with her, and she knew that Hartleigh's wife, under her usual gently gracious air, was fretting about tho intangible something that had thrust its Banquo-ghost into their hap piness. That evening when Hartleigh made some reckless statements to her about her irrLsistable attractions generally '' r ! ' "But Mrs. Hartleigh." and his appreciation thereof, and all the rest of it. Mrs. Weston nodded her sensible little head and assumed an air of fitting gratitude for the compli ment paid her, and then faltered-, with a becoming touch of hesitation, and a quite fetching little quaver in her soft voice—"But—Mrs.—Hartleigh—" Hartleigh tossed his cigar behind the gas-log of the big fireplacb and said, with gloomy irritation: "Oh, she doesn't care. The best of us are conceited beggars, you know, and I used to think she did, which shows what an ass a man is." Mrs. Weston smoothed a smile from her lips with her big black fan. "And because she doesn't," she re fleeted, while her eyes danced. "I am to bo a sop to his lordship's vanity. Dear, dear. How very clumsy men are, to be sure. But I'll try to tlx the thing up. Though I'll get no thanks for it. One never does." So she purred a few sympathetic purrs, which are all a clever woman needs to d<s when a man is bothered, and the whole story came out. Hartleigb. it appeared, had gone to his wife's desk to scribble a note one Tilf Had seen an open letter, evening when she happened to be out, and on pulling out a drawer for some note-paper, had seen an open letter that had been tossed carelessly in there. His sense of honor was too fine to tolerate any thought of reading what was not intended for his eyes, but the second's glance caught two or three words that had sent their sting down into his heart's core. And be had closed the drawer, and that was all. "And you have not spoken of it to her?" asked Mrs. Weston. "No. What's the use?" ha replied drearily. "She's tired of me, I suppose, but I cannot very well go and ask her to say so. The woman must take the initiative in a thing of that sort.'" Mrs. Weston nibbled the edge of her fan and the muscles around her pretty month twitched. Ilartleigh had en tirely forgotten, in the unburdening of liis sick soul, that he had declared a deep and abiding passion for Mrs. Weston but live minutes before, and was plunged In gloomy reverie. Mrs. Weston pressed the fan sternly against her rebellious lips, and finally turned toward him a face of becoming grav ity. "Perhaps it is not as bad as it looks," she said seriously. "We may prove an alibi yet. Go away now, and give Mr. Stanton your seat. You have been talking to me long enough, and the tabbies are looking unutterable things my way." Thus while she talked sweetly to the enraptured Stanton, her busy and clever brain was at work on the Hart leigh problem. She was unshaken in her belief that Mrs. Ilartleigh was in love with but one man, and that man was Ilartleigh. Consequently, that let ter —or portion of letter —that Hart leigh had accidentally seen, must have some explanation. But bow to get at it? It is a thankless task to try and set the matrimonial misunderstandings and unpleasantnesses of one's friends aright, and Mrs. Weston sighed as she resigned herself to the ordeal. The tabbies looked daggers and battering rams as they saw her lift her eye brows in Hartleigh's direction and that gentleman promptly resume the seat Stanton had just vacated at a slightly more imperative signal from Mrs. Stanton. "My beloved Christian friend," said Mrs. Weston, gravely. "There is one thing due Mrs. Hartieigh, under all circumstances, and that is an apology." "Because I —7" "Exactly. It was a breach of honor, however innocent, and it is incumbent upon you, as 'an officer and a gentle man,' to admit your indiscretion, or error, and make the amende honor able generally." Hartieigh drew a long breath, and moved uneasily in his chair. "Well, it will be dashed unpleasant," he said hesitatingly. "But if you think there is no other way—and it is the proper thing—" "Assuredly, the proper thing," said his mentor sternly. "You had no right to fumble around the private desk of anybody, and if you found something you did not want to nnd, that was retribution. And the penalty thereof is saclc-cloth and ashes." "But if she is permitting some black guard to write things—" "You do not know what she is per mitting, or anything about it," said Mrs. Weston. "But I tell you I saw " "Three words. Eactly. And there by hangs a history which you have filled in with the aid of a vivid imag ination—and doubtless some personal experience—" (Hartieigh again moved uneasily in his chair—"and it has never entered your head that there may be some things in the heavens above and the earth beneath, of which you are not altogether cognizant. In any case, two wrongs do not make one right. I had that in my copybook at school. You must apologize." The next evening the bistre shadows that had begun to deepen around Mrs. Hartleigh's soft gray eyes, were gone, and the Helene guests congratulated her on the deliverance from the dull headache that had clung to her so long. After dinner, Hartieigh drew MTB. Weston aside for a moment. He told her how Mrs. Hartieigh had insisted upon his reading the whole letter, which was the unwise effusion of an unwise man who had loved her long before she met Hartieigh, and had written her a stormy reproach for not even requiting his long devotion with a sign of friendly interest in his wel fare. Hartieigh was immensely relieved and a good deal ashamed of himself, and after he had explained fully, out of the gladness of his heart, and di lated upon the blessings that Heaven had bestowed upon him, and of which he was most unworthy, and bored poor Mrs. Weston almost to extinction, he took himself off to hang over the back of his wife's chair for the greater part of the evening. And always after that Banquo-epi sodo of the Hartleigh's, Mrs. Hart leigh's demeanor toward Mrs. Weston was tinged with a chill reserve. Which Mrs. Weston received with the calm philosophy of one who knows her kind. "Blessed is the peace-maker," she quoted to herself, with her shrewd lit tle smile. "And I could have made all sorts of trouble, had I wished. Dear, dear." And she smiled on Mr. Stanton sweetly and plaintively asked him the secret of his perennial youth, while Mrs. Stanton glared at her icily, and presented her with a large and heavily bead-armored shoulder for the balance of the evening. Skirt* an Dust Sweepers, One of the local councils in a district of Vienna has directed all women fre quenting public parks and gardens un der their jurisdicton to hold up their skirts if they would otherwise trail upon the ground. The notice states that these inclosurcs are devoted to the recreation of persons desirous of escaping from the dusty town, and therefore the authorities object to the dust being swept into heaps by the trailing skirts. Even so far back as the reign of Edward II long trains were de rigueur. This is what one of the monks says: "I heard a proud woman who wore a white dress with a long train, which, trailing behind her, raised a dust even so far as the altar and the crucifix. But as she left the church and lifted up her dress on ac count of the dust, a certain holy man saw the devil laughing. He asked him the cause and the devil replied: 'A companion of mine was just silting on the train of that woman, using it as a chariot, but when she lifted it up my companion was shaken off into the dust and so I laughed." " Evidently the local councils of Vienna are somewhat antiquated in their notios. Pccklncr Across nt Neighbor*. A person who constructs a building upon his own property with windows in it, upon the side facing his next neighbor's property, so that the pri vacy of the latter's residence is inter fered with, can not be made by his neighbor, by injunction to close the windows, holds the Supreme court of Louisiana, in the case of Bryant vs. Sholars (23 So. Rep. 350), the latter's remedy being to establish screens upon his own property. Sat an In Saturn. A learned philosopher of Edinburg after mature study has come to the conclusion that Saturn is the dwelling place of Satan, so hereafter you need not tell your friends to go to hades. A polite insinuation that his natural sphere is withn the rings of Saturn will be sufficient. —San Francisco Call. 'Qx'iVKS >vSs ' \?(j THE LINEN SHIRTWAIST. Porter's I-lnon Now Employed In a Bc lighUul Way By the Drcssmahers. | The embroidered shirtwaist of port ! er's linen needed hut to come and he l seen to achieve unconditional surren ! der to its excellence. Porter's liuen, . by the way, is anotlier example of a plebeian material put to patrician uses, 1 tor the French shirt makers, observ ing the fine wearing qualities and good color values of the blue homespun linen blouses worn by the railway ! porters, promptly began utilizing the ] stout and simple goods for their i patrons' easy little summer waists, j The linen, which is woven with an uneven thread and other careless work in order to simulate the ine ! qualities of the haudloom, comes in J two colors: a pure rich deep blue aud a lighter blue that seems to have a | white bloom on it. These are called ! washed and unwashed blues, in imita tion of the tine true color the porter's | blouse possesses when new aud first worn worn and the effect of water ! and sun on it after many washings, j With the color aud texture the sim ilarity ends. Most of the smart blue linen blouses are enriched with hand I needlework, laid over the bosom only ! or scattered over the entire length and I width of the garment. In many in stances the collar and belt are made jto exactly match. On the expensive waists this needle work decoration serves as a substitute for tucks. I Not, however, that tucked shirt- I waists are in the least losing their | Vogue, regiments of pale brown batiste j and chnmbry and madras waists tucked solidly have appeared on the counters. The newest of those are j very finely tucked and then einbroid j vred in white, or decorated directly on I the tucked surface, with pale eream j colored lace applications, which run I over their broad sailor collars and full j fronts. | The albatross shirtwaist, that fast i ens down the back with a row of close set fiat pearl buttons, or fastens up 1 the front only from neck to bust, and jis put on over the head, has been claimed by the woman who wears short skirts. She prefers it in blue with a black satin Kaiser stock, hav ing the decoration done in applied bands of bright Oriental cotton em broidery. Both the albatross and the cotton embroidery improve under the laundress's hands.—New York Sun. The Unselfish Garden. Every unselfish person's garden 1 should have a corner from which to gather flowers for gifts to one's friends, for use in the house and for personal adornment. In such a place one can sow the odds and ends of seed left after sowing the garden beds, and seedlings may bo transplanted to it at thiuuing-out time. Here cuttings from the window garden may be put out to root, and they will flower in due season, thus helping to furnish a greater variety than annuals alone will be able to give. Such a "cut-and come-again" corner is often the most delightful part of the garden. Among the desirable plants for it which can not be obtained from seed are hello tropes, carnations and ten roses, it will pay the woman who loves choice flowers to invest a little money in each of these. Tiiey will bloom throughout the season and afford a vast amount of pleasure at small expense. Old plants of carnations are more desirable than young ones. Those you have wintered in the house may be used here to good advantage and new ones grown 011 for next season's use. Heliotrope is easily grown from cuttings. Tea roses cost ing from Ave to ten cents a plant will soon grow to flowering size.—New York Commercial Advertiser. Hints to Needle-Women. Never use long basting-threads, es pecially in tlie basting of waists, nor think to save time by taking long stitches, l'ins should be used plenti fully while fitting a garment on the figure, but they should be replaced im mediately with regular basting the moment the garment is removed. The position for hooks or buttons, and for the corresponding eyes or button-holes, should bo carefully out-lined witli thread in preference to marking with pencil or soapstone. When curved seams are to be stitched up on the machine, fine bast ing—i.e., by means of short stitches becomes imperative if the seamstress Would avoid puckering in her work. If such curved work be around the foot of a skirt, as in the case of a flared ruffle, the hem first should be basted, lightly sponged, aud carefully pressed before the stitching is done. The ama teur dressmaker is sometimes troubled over a slight bulging at the point of a dart in the skirt or bodice, when otherwise the garment fits most satis factorily. Generally this may be ob viated by lightly sponging the part in question, and pressing with hot Iron so that a quick shrinking follows. —Harper's Bazar. Ruining of Belgium Hives. Two women in Ashtabula, Ohio, who started a rabbitry little more than a year ago with three imported Belgium hares, costing SIOO apiece, have now, besides the original three, a hundred others, worth as a whole not less than 51000. In addition to these they have sold over S3OO worth of stock during the year. In a recent interview one of these women declared that no more delightful occupation than theirs could be found for women. "We feed and water the hares twice a day," she said, "although some authorities think that once is sufficient. We have never had a case of snuffles, slobbers or sneezes in our rabbitry. Keeping track of their pedigree gives us no end of bookkeeping. "Four litters a year, and sometimes six, is tlie rate at which Belgian hares multiply, and tlie number of babies in each ranges from five *o nine. The price that tlie animals will bring de pends mostly upon age. Full blooded stock is worth from 510 to 525 up to six months old. After that age they bring more." Women Have a Darning Club. The women of Ceutralin. Mo., have organized a darning club. Men's socks are a specialty in tlieir new organiza tion, and it has been denounced as an encouragement to bachelordom. The officers of the club are the most expert menders and they assist the rest by showing how to meiul the worst holes. "She who cannot darn cannot join" is the club's official mot to, but exceptions have been made in the interest of uniustructed sisters and the motto no longer has the force it had at first. Meetings are held fort nightingly and the club boasts of hav ing darned 111 pairs of hosiery at a sitting. Members only are admitted to the afternoon sessions, but in the evenings ndtniring husbands are permitted to attend aud to watch their better halves at work. No charge Is made for tlie sock darning and those bachelors of Centralis who expect to live elsewhere in some period in their lives are very anxious that such a useful institution as its darning club shall be imitated as widely as possible. , Simple Morning Genus, Morning gowns are most essenlial now to the comfort of every woman who likes to be well gowned, and by the term "morning gown" is net meant to include matinees, tea gowns, or similar loose flowing garments, hut rather trim little costumes of cloth, liuen or cambric, as the scasou may warrant, and made in simple style without elaboration, so that tiiey aro equally suitable to be worn in tlie bouse or out-of-doors. The siinplo morning gown for the city should serve for marketing, for household er rands, and for other utilitarian pur poses; hut is not at all like the plain tailor gown, which, of course, is quite feasible for any morning wear out-of doors. These gowns have, as a rule, waists to match the skirts, although the skirts are made so they may he worn with shir waists.—Harper's Ba zar. • Oddities in Klbbon# A new departure in narrow ribbon? lias tiny pin spots all over on white or contrasting grounds, and tubular— that is, woven double. These are in tended for cravat 3, and there is an other make in self-colors, fancy wov en, recalling matelasse. Odd and new aro marbled effects in soft silk ribbons, liglit pinks merging into deeper tones—blues, reds, etc Tlioy are, in fact, reproductions of tba old marbled papers that used to ap pear on tie walls of our hulls twenty years ago, but very pretty in their new treatment. I'ieot edges figure on nmuy of the new ribbons. Pretty little coats for children aro of grass linen, made up over some color. Color combinations in the new golf gloves, especially in tartans, are strikingly handsome. Large pearl buckles of different de signs are the prettiest of anything of the kind for children's coats. White lace, with an applique of pom padour roses down the centre makes a beautiful trimming for handsome street gowns. Felt outing lints aro trimmed, as they hare been at other seasons, with soft silk handkerchiefs in brilliant col ors, tlie kumcliuudas. Little lawn jackets for children are made in colors and have a small yoke. The lower part is pleated aud secured to the yoke by a heading of white. The gold embroidered veil is tlie lat est novelty. A border showing lines of gold or a pattern carried out in tinsel thread is supplemented by gold spots on the plain net. As tlie fad for going about bare headed in the country will undoubted ly be followed this year, much care will naturally be taken in dressing the hair. All sorts of fancy bows and combs will be used for this purpose. Apple green glace silk tucked all over and worn with a deep sailor col or of white band-embroidered mull is about the prettiest tiling a pale blonde could wear. A deep girdle of pink satin liberty should accompany this waist. A simple and serviceable long cape, which is longer in the back than in tlie front, sloping up slightly, is of black taheta, lined with white, and simply stitched with white. It is a little more than knee length, and a garment which would be useful foil mauy purposes. Chief among the accessories of the toilet at the moment are waist bands. Some are most artistic, made of colored stones Inserted in wrought filigree sil ver or gold. Others are in wonderful enamels linked together with fascinat ing chains, while metal belts of every kiud will be used.
