FEMININE FASHIONS.
Frenn Additions to the Summer Coi
j ' 1 tomes.
Trimmed skirts increase in favor as
the season advances.
Mousseline hrilliante is a new gauzy
textile much used by Raudnitz, Beers
and Paquin for draping evening' toilets.
It has a very silky surface, and is re
markably dainty and beautiful.
Most of the new tucked evening
gowns of gauzy material have rows of
handsome Venetian lace insertion on
bodice and skirt. Other toilets are made
with Gainsborough fichus of tulle or
mousseline de soie crossed over the cor
sage, passed under the arms, and tied at
. the back.
Accordion-plaited skirts of black silk
grenadine, canvas tulle, black Swiss
muslin dotted in 6ilk, fancy French and
Russian nets, and similar diaphanous
textiles.are made up over gored founda
tions of brilliant Turkish red or golden
yellow satin. Portions of the bodice
and . sleeves are likewise plaited and
finished with elegant decorations in cut
jet.
Gros de Tours is one of the popular
silks this summer and has a soft fin
ished corded surface, slightly heavier
in quality than taffeta, but less glossy
It is used in the pale tints for evening
toilets, and in browns, grays and i
greens for church, visiting, etc. Some
of the grounds are striped with satin
in bronze or black, then figured with
small leaves or flowers or quaint old
fashioned figures. These patterns make
charming fancy waists.'
For cool and pretty gowns qualities
that in the eyes of the majority nowa-
days, lose nothing by the additional
fact that they are inexpensive noth- !
ing is better than the sheer delicate all- j
wool delaines trimmed with ribbon in
any of the thousand and one ways ap- j
proved by fashion. ?vo more dainty
gowns could be desired at the seashore
or in the mountains, for while com
fortable and dressy at the same time,
they resist dampness ar.d wear as no
sort of white or light cotton gown can.J
Elderly women can suitalbly wear
delaines in dark colors for morning '
dress. The material is not suitable for !
afternoon dress. In lighter combina'
tions of color, however, delaine hamd-
somely trimmed with lace or ribbon .
leaves little to be desired on the score of

The Leading Nation of the World to
Be Governed on the Reffalatloms
Greater Safety- to Be V
Imnred.
The new rules of the road at sea have
just gone into effect among the leading
countries of the world, and there is
little doubt that their strict enforce
ment will greatly enhance the safety
of the mariner and the charges placed
within his keeping. The already great
and rapidly -increasing intercourse be
tween nation and nation demands that
every precaution against the . dangers
of the sea and every safeguard possible
for the safety of human life shall be
provided. The spoken languages of the
world may continue to be many, but
necessity commands that the unspoken
language of the deep shall be one. That
language must needs be as universal
as the needs of man for commerce' and
intercourse with his fellow man.
Away back at the beginning of the
present century a system of signaling
for vessels by means of flags was de
vised for the British merchant service,
and 50 years later at least ten sys
tems were in vogue. The result was
a Babel of bunting, and all the sys
tems were rendered ineffective, for the
reason that those using one were un
able to decipher the others. So it has
been with rules of the road on the deep,
and the bottom of every sea, lake and
j river is dotted with crumbling wrecks
I and moldering skeletons as the result
. of fatal misunderstanding. In 1855 it
was realized that an international code
, of signals was an imperative necessity,
j and a year later one was adopted.
I Since that time . ships of all nations
) have been enable to converse one with
the other, irrespective of the language
spoken by their crews, and great good

When the question of means of com
munication was being considered, the
more important question of a universal
rule of navigation was neglected, and
it was not until 18S9 that the Wash
ington marine conference was held.
After a series of discussions, which
lasted until the last day of 1890, the new
rules were adopted.
The new rules are strict in their pro
visions, and will be rigidly enforced.
j The regulations regarding the carry
ing of lights on vessels at night are
very concise, and no excuses that they
( were being trimmed, that the night was
moonlight, that it was only a short
' time after sunset, vaill be taken. Pro
, vision is made for all classes of ves
. sels to carry lights after dark, and even
the smallest craft must exhibit a lan
I tern with red and green slides when
approaching another vessel. Even row-

one ia lavitij- ur picking up caoie,
and a thousand and one other things of
use in avoiding collisions.
Signals for fogs are the subject of a
lengthy article in the new rules, and
they differ considerably from the old
rules. Two additional rules are intro
duced, arranging for two prolonged
blasts to be given by steam vessels un
der way but not moving through the
water; and, second, for a long blast,
followed by two short blasts, to be given
by vessels towed and towing, vessels
not under command, vessels not able
to maneuver as required by these new
rules, and vessels at work on telegraph
cable. -
The steering rules for sailing vessels,
the overtaking rule and the rule for
sound signals for vessels in sight of
one another are very complete and do
not show wide or strongly-pronounced
divergence from the old rules.
The merit of the rules lies largely
in the fact of their international recog
nizance. Baltimore Sun.
German Mlnera Superstitions.
Probably the most superstitious class
pf men in the world, barring the sailors,
are miners those who delve in the
bowels of the earth for coal or min
erals. In Germany the mines are be
lieved to be the abiding places of queer
little old men not over two feet high,
vvho ape in dress the ordinary miners.
They vary in character; some are good,
some are bad. In Wales the miners are
haunted by goblin miners, known as
j knockers.
They make strange noises,
and the tapping of their picks can be
heard in ore (bodies not yet reached by
jthe human workmen. The .dreaded
Ladder Dwarf is a malignant hunch
back of frightful appearance, who
kicks out the rungs of ladders in mines
just before an accident occurs. Super
stition extends even ,to the vegetables
sometimes found growing in mines,
such growths, having talismanic vir
tues. In Sardinia an ancient lead mine
has been completely abandoned on ac
count of a (prevailing dread among the
miners oft a small and venomous spider
inhabiting it.-rhicago Chronicle. .
