Mr. Condert of counsel for the United
States In the Behring sea arbitration caso
of Piip Btnted that thoro could bo "no
commingling of the seal herds of Alaska
and those of Asiatic Kiwslft. inoauio
counsel is probably unaware that prior
to 1870 the seals composing the two
herds referred to by him were all Rus
sian, spoke only tho Russiun lungnngo,
lived and died in Russian stylo, but ns
he is so positive that each American seal
invariably returns to the islands of St.
Paul and St George and each Russian
seal to Copper island, without an occa

sess some exclusive very much and ex

ing that tho Alaskan seals have wholly
forgotten their mo her tongue and ac
quired a knowlodgj of English, and as
the Copper island seals converse only in
Russian of course commingling of the
herds would be an unheard of folly.

The Memory of a Fall
"I wonder how it comes about," said J.
T. Abranis, "that a beautiful face of which
vou only had one glance in all your life
can live to vividly In your menioryf Mine
was a mere panning glance. Why, confound
it all. every tinio a chilly ruin drizzles down
all day rnd makes everything lonesome
and cold 1 feel like, getting on alone and
looking out ou the dull earth just to think
f that one face. It bus lx-cn so long now,
nearly twelve years since I met a pale faced
girl in New '. . k coming along Fifty-Hint
street. It ;w a diwigreeable day, with
muddy streets mid drizzling ruin to beat
everything. Some dink brown curls were
loosened by the wind and lay limp and wet
Against her forehead. I observed all this
in passing by, and I imagined that the girl
was hungry or homeless, or both, but 1
couldn't tell: all I could do was eimply to
turn and look after ner.
"I have traveled nearly nround the world
since then in Asiu, Africa and Europe unci
out through the lonesome, dreary mining
camps of the nest.Tjut I haven't been able
to forget that face. On bright uuys I won
der little ftbout her, but every time it ruins

the Cape of Good IIopo I sat one entire
morning looking out and seeing that girl's
face in the wet leaves of the trees and pools
of water held in basins of mud. It was al

whether she was hungry and cold, or
homeless aud cold, or both, and why didn't
I help her? Queer, isn't it?" St. Louis

full, so that It hung in heavy folds all
around. These, however, though very
pretty, were not special novelties liko tho
vlctorine, made entirely of mink tails,
with n roll collar as the only solid piece of
fur about it. There were H7 tails used to
make this vlctorlno. There wns another
curiously shaped collarette of black fur.
That part which encircled the neck ex
tended down the front like two long cm
vnt ends, and they were passed through n
fdltlo of fur that gavo the appearance of
being tied liko n mnn's necktie. At tho
lower edge of this there wns u sprung cel
lar about I) Inches wide.
These two novelties were very dressy
and pretty. There was a ncckscarf of
black Alaska sable about 4 Inches wldo
through the middle portion. Toward tho
ends the fur widened to 0 inches and was
out slanting on tlio ends, and It finished
off with two tails to each end. It crossed
over and fastened with a linok nnd eye.
Thoro wns n vlctorlno of a yellow furcom
blned with black Persian. The lippor por
tion nnd collar were of Persian, and all
around tho edges the yellow furwns sot In
with deep vnuriyke points. It wns very
showy.
Black Persian and astrakhan nre com
bined with crinlnoand chinchilla In many
littlo capes and collarettes, and they are
very pretty. Tho Eton jacket of fur Is
qulto a raRo among those who have slim
llgurcs. Tlio black Persian and uiolro as
trakhan nro prettier than any other for
this purpose Tho untlycd Persian looks
clumsy for soiuu reason.
Furs nro treated differently this year
from any stylo over beforo seen. Sealskin
and other furs are mndo into bows and
loops, plaited and puffed. I scarcely liko
to seo them arranged in this wny, but
others may liko thcin. The Eton jackets
are made to button closely and nro double,
or si nalo breasted, as each lady may pre
fer. If they uro doublo breasted, they havo
sharp rovers and collar and nro slightly
open at the nuck. Tlio single breasted
style buttons or oloses Invariably to tho
chill, and there Is n choker collar. I saw
ono black Persian doublo breasted Eton
with Immense rovers of sealskin. Tho
aloevos were of tho Persian, with small
pointed culls of tho sealskin. This was
very rich and effcot.lvo.
Almost every tailor mndo gown hns a
niiiill lino of fur around tho skirt. Some

much. Tho skirtwns of a gruy blue covert
cloth, ami around tho bottom there were
threo very narrow bands of black Persian,
and two a trlllo wider were carried up tho
skirt to tho waist lino. With this was
worn one of the Eton jackets such as I
havo been describing.
One would think that sealskin was a
very dlllleult material toembrolder, but It
Is possible, and tho offect of such manipu
lation Is extremely rich. I saw a princess
dinped sealskin coat reaching quite to the
ground. It was lapped to tho left and fas
iened with threo larue buttons, one set
exactly nt tho waist and ono abovo and
ono below. There were larue rcvors of tho
soul richly embroidered In shaded brown
illks, for the most part in the dull bronzo
diaries. This was raised liili by means
of some kind of padding under the stitches.

wonder If tho wearers taku $7,000 worth

they add so milch of delicacy to the wear
er that half the elderly women have taken
to wearing one or the other in the form of
lavish draperies un tho waist nnd sleeves
of their grand tollo'.s. Even velvet waists
are arranged with such garniture and have
sleeves that are as fluffy and nlmost as vo

In my pilgrimages last week I found an

It was of a pepper and salt green, If 1
may uo that expression, The goisls wcro

the general color wns a muddy green. Tho
sleeve wero shirred In two plaoea about t
Inches wide, which left three full pulls,
the upper ono being very full and largo.
The other two were smaller snd closer.
At the wrist theniwnsnllttlo ruflle formed
by tho shirring of tha material. There
wero perhaps ten rows of threads of the
shirring which formed the cuff part,
and the others hud three or four. The
waist wns gathered full on tho shoulders,

ness of every stitch of this gown wore a
delight to tho eye. Thero was a double
rulllo of old rose and mots green tauctu,
both pinked, sot in under the skirt, so
thnt the two edges almost showed. I won
der who will get that dress. Whoever floes
will pay vlTIi for It. It Is unlquo In a
way, as so far I have nover seen nny of the
material anywhere of which It Is made.
It Is as soft as crepon, thick as Cheviot
and both rough and smooth at tho tamo
time. I don't believe that such material
wns ovor woven, and iuiaglno that it must
be soma freak of nature, nnd that it just
"grnwed," like Topsy.
Tho new fans for this season are not
very large nor too smnll, but are of exqul
site workmanship, gome have Inlaid eb
ony and Ivory sticks, with delicato tracery
of gold and flowers formed of mother of
pearl or enamel. There nre some feather
fans, but not ns many ns there should be,
as they are always dainty and graceful.
The most of tho others aro niatlo or gauze
and crape. Sometimes one will lie seen
mndo of black lace drawn smoothly ovor
white crepe lisso or whlto luce ovor some
light colored silk. Somo of the black fans
are spangled, and I noticed bno with a
fringo of spangles which rattled sharply
w th overy motion. -
I was told In a private letter from Paris
that thoro aro to bo worn ninny wide moire
sash ribbons. They will not be tied nor
looped, but made up into flat bows with
long ends, and theso will bo fastened to
the wnlst. The long ends are to be loft
free. Tho oxnet position whero theso bows
nro to bo set is not fixed. They may be
on ono sldo or the othor, directly In front,
on the buck, or set up at the bust line, if
so desired, but tho bow nnd ends must bo

bows nro black.
This sumo lotter says that the princess
shape of dress will be a vogue in Paris at

The sleeves nnd corsngo wore triminod

The oth,cr dress wns a white one cut
princess, with looso draperies of lace cov

shoulders.
Darker and heavier goods tliun these,
however, are also made iu this stylo, and
the princess gown is seen not seldom upon

Imitations of American Manufactures.
Consuls have becomo weary of calling
attention to frauds dangerous to the
trade of tlie United States which are
conducted on a gigantic scalo in Europe.
Tho Germans reproduce American sew
in;? machines, stoves and nil sorts of
tools, substituting iron fur steel. They
mark them with tlio names uud brands
of Yankee manufacturers mid send them
to South America, Africa und ull over
tlio world. Though of wretched quality
they aro cheap and actually crowd out
tlio real American goods. In this fash
ion iron machetes are substituted for our
own steel ones in South America, and
Colt's and Bomington's revolvers are
burlesqued, ns one might say, in the
chcaiiest possible materials. American
machines nre taken apart, nnd the pieces
nro copied with iron castings, which are
put together to form clumsy counter
foils. This is done with all of the finest
agricultural implements.
The imitations lead tho observer to
speculate as to tlie probable period of
timo during which the world would have
been without such useful inventions if
it bud been left to Europeans to discover
them. Ingenious Britishers nre making
counterfeits of Yankee textile fabrics,
ami tlie looms of Manchester are turn
ing out millions of yards of cotton an
nually which liear tlie names and brands
of American manufacturers. These cot
tons nre marketed iu China because the
Chinese have a liking for products of
this sort from tlio United States. They
are very heavily "sized" with white of
egg to give them a good appearance. Of
course the "sizing" does not stund a
wash. One consul in China lias suggest
ed that an umbrella should to sold with
each bolt of such cottons, inasmuch as a
lady who happens to lie caught by a
shower in a nice cotton dress too often

COST OF PALACE CARS
FACTS CONCERNING PARLOR CAR9
AND SLEEPING CARS.
Mow Two Men Cuiuo to Invent a Bleeping
Cur at About the Nuine Time FuriiUli
lug nf an Ordinary Sleeper I'ay f Mis
F.mplnyeea lllg rroflta.
No other country can toast of railroad
tcrvlce equal to our own. Even our pigs
gild horses have palaces on wheels.
In IK57 Webster Wugner, then freight
agent of the New York aud Hudson Kiver
railroad, running from New York to Al
bany, conceived the idea of putting berths
Into cars so that passengers might sleep in
them. One year Inter four of these cars
were In operation. Wagner used ordinary
conches and constructed torths in tiers,
like those it ocean steamers.
There were three tiers. The tipper berths
weremndeof slats. During the day these
slats were taken out. together with the
mat tresses, and were piled iu the ends of
the cr.rs. Hie cost of const met Ion of these
ears was aboulSIS.tlOOeach. Two years later
Mr. Wagner changed these berths so that
they were hung from nliove by Iron rods,
tin sham curves the occupant of the tort h
was apt to Ih-thrown out or nt least have
his elbows thumped against the side of the
car. The cars were very crude. A tin wash
basin apologized for the absence of a bath
room. The absence of ull other comforts
apologized fur t hem.
A few months after Mr. Wagner con
w ived the idea of a sleeping car (ieorge M,
Pullman was riding on the Chicago and
Alton railroad when a similar scheme
struck him. lie got two of the railroad's
passenger coaches and constructed a sleep
ing cur much like Mr. Wagner's. Neither
gentleman was aware of the doings of the
other. One of these cars built by Air. I'ull
man was the famous "Poineer," now lion
orahly retired. From these two beginnings
sprung the two great palace car companies
of today, the wagtier nnu me I'uumnn.
The one operates 1, NIK) cars on 17,000 miles
of railroad, with 80 tlilferent railroad com
nauies. The other operates 2,1!00 curs on
100,000 miles of railroad. There were also
two smaller companies years ago, tlie
Woodruff and the Mann. The oodrufT
was merged into the Pullman company in
istil, and the Mann company is almost de-
iiinct.
A picture of a cur of 1800 and a descrip
tion of a ear of today would serve better
than anything else to convey an Idea of tho
progressnud advancement in traveling. But
witli all the crudeness and plainness of the
one nnd all the gorgeousness und luxury of
tlie other so great has been the advance
ment in car construction that the cost of
the cars of today does not exceed the cost
of the first pulace cars built by $3,000, save,
of course, in special instances. It took one
year to build the Pioneer, and it cost $18,
0110. It takes two months to turn a car out
now, and seldom does it cost $19,000.
It was but a step from a sleeping car to
parlor car. Hut it was years before a hotel
or buffet car was turned ont. Pullntnu built
theflrstoiiein ISidfor imeiit the centennial.
It was a sleeping car with kitchen uttneh
ment. The passengers slept in the car, and
their meals were served in the spaces their
berths occupied at night. All the Pullman
sleepers are buffet cars now. Few of them
are hotel cars, whero freshly cooked meats
are served. The dining cars supplanted the
hotel cars, which were modified Into bullet
cars. The observation and combination cars
are only a few years old. Private cars began
with the organizations of tho companies,
but they have changed much in furnishings
and lln sh.
The furnishings of an nveruge Wagner
sleeping car, which has compartments to
accommodate 3S passengers, for un ordinary
run of a day and a night and return are 100
sheets. 100 hand towels, 100 pillowslips, 12
cakes of soap, 0 boxes of matches, 2 brooms,
r) whisk brooms, tl combs aud 0 brushes.
The Pullman furnishes 130 sheets, towels
and pillowslips respectively. The sleeping
curs vary iu their accommodations of pas
sengers from 20 to S3. They bnve In ad
dition to theirothcr equipmentsa hammer,
monkey wrench, hutchet, saw and crowbars,
iron und wooden buckets und feather dust
ers. The cost of equipment of a car, in
cluding tapestries, averages $2,800. Tbecost
of the car proper averages 812,000 more.
The conductors of the cars receive from
$75 to $100 a month, according to ability
and length of service. The companies gov
ern conductors with u set of rules much
like u civil service system. It is supposed
that those with the best records get the
best runs und the top uotch salary. Each
conductor buys his own uniform. The
company provides nn overcoat, which it
stores in summer. The porters' salaries
vary from $25 to $75 a month. Yery few
et $75. Like the conductors they buy their
jwn uniforms and wear overcoats furnished
by the company. The conductors are re
quired to give a surety bond in tho sum of
Ti00. The'porters give no bond.
The arrangements between the railroad
companies and the palace car companies is
ordinarily in the form of u contract where
by the palace car company agrees to furnish
the capital and the cars, while the roads
agree to haul them free, only pocketing
tiie regular railroad fare paid by euch pas
senger. In some Instances where palace
cur traffic is apt to be light the railroud
company pays a proper sum to the palace
car company for running curs on the road.
A point on which the general traveling
public has long been uncertain of the atti
tude of the Wagner and Pullman companies
is the responsibility for the baggage and
jffoctsof the passengers while in the palnce
cars. Officials of both tlie Pullman and
Wagner companies say that they are not
she custodians of the passengers' personal
jffects. They call their porters and con
ductors servants and not iiuents and state
that they are forbidden to become custodi
ans even for the time being.
A palace car pays an enormous interest
,vhen theunioiintof capital invested is con
ddered. An ollicial of one of tbeconipnnies
uiys that tbe fan; to Chicago is $3, and thnt
a sleeper makes six round trips a month,
currying 15 passengers euch way, und re
turns !I5 per cent cleur profit ou the pro
ceeds. It is a poor run where the cleni
yearly proceeds are not 30 per cent of the
eost of the car. New York Sun.

The time depleted Is the dnya when 8 cor

Mr. Toole possesses un act drop which is es
sentially original. It shows the famous
comedian, us (he Don, peeping from behind
a curtain, apparently to ascertain If the
house Is full. The curtains at Drury I.nne

cloth of old days and are remarkable only
on account of their size.
Perhaps, however, t he curtain which may
fittingly take rank with that of the Lyceum
Is used at the new Palace Theater of Vari
eties. It was made for the theater when
Mr. D'Oyly Cnrteopeiird ll with Sir Arthur
Sullivan's opt-ni, "I vanillic." When bang

pair of golden gates. Measuring U'l feet
high by 48 feet wide, a special room hail to
be hired for It to be made in.
The base of the curtain is gold colored
silk, ou which has been worked an ap
plique of a darker tone of the same color.
The 'applique, outlined by a flue cord of
silk, has suspended from It a fringe with
tassels. Between 500 and 000 yards of silk

such cords have been used in the curtain.

Tha Life of tha Ichneumon Fly.
A writer gives an interesting accouut of
tbe curious habits of the ichneumon fly of
Ceylon, tbe natural enemy of tbe spider.
This Insect is green in color and In form
resembles a wasp with ,a murvelotisly thin
waist. It makes its nest of well worked
clay, and then goes out on a hunting exe
ilitlon. Its victims aro Invariably spiders
of various kinds, but all are subject to the
same mode of treatment. A sclent I lie
sting injects some poison which effectually
paralyzes the luckless spider, who is then
carried off to the nest and there fastened
with a dub of moist clay.
Another nnd another victim is brotightto
this chamber of horrors. Then the preset
cut mother Ichneumon fly proceeds to de
posit her eggs, one In tbe body of each spl
der, which can just move its legs in a vague,
aimless manner, but can offer no resistance.
This done, tbe fly returns to her work as a
mason. She prepares more clay and builds
up the entrance to this ghastly cell. Then
the commences a new cell, which she fur
nlshes iu like manner and closes. Then she
adds yet another cell, anil so proceeds until
her store of eggs are all provided for, and,
her tusk in lifo toing accomplished, she
dies, leaving her evil brood to hatch at lei
sure.
In due time these horrid little maggots
come to life and find themselves cradled In
a larder of fresh meat. Each poor spider is
still alive, aud his juices afford nutriment
for the ichneumon grub, till it is ready lo
pass Into its chrysalis stage, thence to
emerge as a winged fly, fully prepared to
carry out the traditions of its ancestors
with regard to spiders and to fulfill the
purpose for which t bey have beeu created,
according to ichneumon belief. Leisure

Make tha Frocks Fireproof.
With the Fourth of July in the near
