THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE; SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 20, 1890. —SIXTEEN PAGES. B GOOD FORM IN WATER Jennie June On the Fashion- able Bathing Dress and Its Ethics. Why Women Do Not Bathe More-Loud Bathing Suits. The Bather a Great Target For a Shore Lined With Spectators. B_^_^_fa.r_— «_^___M_H The Best Bathing Dress Fop Women and How It Is Made. There is no country in the world Where finer stretches of ocean beach are found than in America, whose shores are washed both by the Atlantic and Pacific, and whose white, sand-bordered levels often skirt many miles of coast region without presenting any obstacle to the free enjoyment of salt water in Its easy reaches and most playful, cap- tivating moods. There was a time, thirty or forty years ago, when people did bathe for pure pleasure; when, with- out knowing much and thinking less in regard to hygienic or sanitary influ- ences, they bathed in salt water be- cause it exhilarated them, because it made them feel more alive, because— well, perhaps, because pleasures were 'fewer and they were glad to make the most of those they had. But after a while bathing became the fashion and subject to the laws of lash- lou. Whatever becomes fashionable must of necessity in time become un- fashionable. The ebb and flow is as natural ami unalterable as the ebb and flow of tides. The only way weknow a thing is fashionable is by the alterna- tion with a period of depression or re- tirement. Whatever occupies the same position without change becomes "standard," but no longer rejoices in the eclat of fashion. Sea-bathing is just now emerging from a recent period of depression. Notwithstanding the fashion plates and the fashion articles which appear and reappear* with the regularity of the seasons, there has been very little bath- ingof late years, even at those summer resorts specially provided with beach and sea-bathing facilities. Eliminate the children and the nursery maids from the crowd upon the beach at New port, Long Branch or Coney Island and afew would be left but spectators. Perhaps this shows business has had as much to do as anything with the de- cline in the healthful practice aud en- joyment of sea bathing. Whatever fashion touches it vitiates and, in time, impairs. It removed Bathing, from the region of natural and health- ful pleasure ami made it a spectacle. This was opposed to old-fashioned ideas of reserve, and even decency, and obliged many to give up the practice on account of the impossibility of adapting themselves to new ways and methods. ln fact, there is something' revolting in the idea of going out in midday, in the hot sun's glare, stripping off one's clothing to the skin, putting on a showy bit of flannel, and inarching with bare legs and arms the distance— sometimes long—from the bathing house to the sea, before a \u25a0 crowd of men and women, whose glasses are levelled as if at a ballet, take in every detail of figure and dress or undress.- The objections to this sort of ordeal may be "absurd," but they are real, and have exercised a very Btrong deterrent influence. Our fashions still come from abroad. Since bathing became fashionable bath- ing dresses must be "fashionable" (in accordance with foreign ideas of fash- ion) also. Thus we have cut off the sleeves to the shoulder and the trousers to a little below the knees, adopting with our exposed method a style of dress which is only employed abroad in connection with bathing-houses which wheel into the sea, and from the steps of which the bather makes the plunge into the enveloping embrace of the waves. The effect of sea-bathing as a stimu- ulant and a restorative is wholly lost in this capricious subjection to the whims of an irresponsible and intangible authority. Itis to begin with an almost infallible test of the existence of mor- bid conditions of the body, but the re- sults in these cases are so little gratify- ing to vanity, so frequently Positively Disfiguring she was persuaded to continue the treat, ment and regimen for six weeks longer." At the end of that time her complexion had acquired an almost transparent clearness. Her morbid conditions had all disappeared. Her appetite had be- come natural and regular, her spirits bright and elastic— in short, she was a changed and reconstructed person. Salt and sulphur are known as potent Instruments in the extinction of many forms of germinal disease, and every- one knows how exhilirating to the nerves, how stimulating to the muscles, how inspiring to every form of activity is a bath in the sea. So well is this known, that infusions of salt in tepid water are the daily habit of persons . who live in cities and are restricted to sponge bathing, but the effect is not to be compared' to free and unlimited absorption of the rigor and force of the elemental principle in its native element. That this agent, so strong, so vital, so remedial, should be subject to the restrictions and caprices of what we are pleased to call fashion, Is unworthy the sense and intelligence of this age and century. Only that it has fallen into disuse, so that the sub- ject has been felt to be of . little conse- quence, physicians ought to have taken It up long ago, lemoved it from the realm of caprice, and placed itupon a scientific basis, among other powerful forces for good and for evil, to be used with discretion and also with knowl- edge. Meanwhile it is pitiable and makes one doubt the general intelligence of the nineteenth century when one hears the fantastic tricks of costume charged upon some of the frequenters of sum- mer watering places, as ifbathing, even in public, removed all restraints of de- cency and common sense. It is true that among the primitive tribes and the poorer Chinese women jump into the water immediately after childbirth, without any feeling of restraint and with no after ill consequences, but this is usage, and they are as insensible to the virtue of covering as to the vice of nudity. The objectionable feature of the particularly . showy and undress bathing suit is that itputs its wearer on parade and makes her specially con- spicuous during the performance of au act about which instinct usually throws an air of reserve. It is worse than a ballet dancer, because ballet girls wear their dress for a living, whilethe bather elects to exhibit herself without illusion or necessity.; Doubtless the best dress is thatwhich men and boys wear, woven drawers or combination of short drawers with sleeveless shirt forming as little of an Impediment as possible to active motion ln the wearer. But this is not a dress for the beach or in which woman can properly walk over the sands under the fire of a hundred lorgnettes. Men, itis said, do it, why not women? But this is why not: The dress of men accus- toms every one to the strict outline of form and limbs, so that The Uncovering them in part does not shock the sensi- bilities as does the same exposuie on the part of women. Besides the figure of the woman is more conspicuous; it is made for maternity,is subject to changes, ls a shrine, in a word.is dedicated to the most sacred of. mysteries, and to make it the subject of ribald jest and talk is to desecrate it. Some time. we shall, perhaps, have *• reached a : degree * of purity- that willadmit of all natural and healthful ' treatment of our . bodies without question and without j- merely ; conventional restraint, v But at present we have. T not arrived at that poiut,'and we ought to show some little' consist-, ency, and not affect a modesty .amount- ing. to squeamishness in certain ways and upset it all in others, showing there is nofeieality in it. * The material of which bathing dresses are made is important for health and comfort, as * well as appearance. The ; best, so far as known, is heavily twilled flannel, with the dress finish. This ab- sorbs less moisture, throws it; more readily, is warmer, less clingy, and more easily recoverable than any other material. Undoubtedly the' best . color is navy blue, and the only ornamenta- tion permissible a little white embroid- ery or white braid trimming. This com- bination is atmospheric. It falls in with the blue of the water and the flecking of the sky; it does not disturb the line of vision or shock it, like red, or seem incongrous and out of place, like white, or penitential like gray. Blue is '.-, always joyous.: It suggests movement, activity, out-of-door life, and the white mounting— not broad or too much, just enough for suggestion— the innocence of the enjoyment. i . The best form at which we have ar- rived, so < long as skirts are considered indispensable, is the closed trousers, pleated iuto a band through which a casing is run for a drawing ribbon, and a high blouse, buttoned well over in front with skirt attached by a belt, but- toned in line with the bodice. The Neck, the wrists, the belt, may be outlined T with three or five rows of narrow white braid, but no collar—"sailor" or other— or cuffs should be added, for these only add to the weight and wet and spoil the outline, it may be objected that blue would become very monotonous if all bathers woreblue. But there are many shades of gray blue, "cadet" blue and the like which are suitable, particularly to the young, and for change there ; are smoke grays and very quiet peach tints, which are unobjectionable. The bodice should be gathered, not .- pleated or laid in folds, and the skirt should be gored, and the fullness, what there is, massed into pleats at the back and upon the hips, lt should descend several inches below the knee, and the trousers will be neater if lightly gath- ered into a band which may he buttoned on the inner part of, the ankle. Canvas shoes may or may not be used in walk- ing over the sands, but they should be taken off before going into the water There is no object in the frippery which' itis becoming the fashion with some houses to attach to bathing dresses. Coarse lace, tinseled braids or embroid- ery, cords, pendants, fancy buttons and the rest of it are all out ot place, and only vulgarize and encumber, without adding any charms. . Sea bathing at its lowest natural esti- mate is a natural and healthful form of activity and enjoyment, but we ought not to make ofit a vulgar spectacle ;or, allow it to become the minister to coarse caprice. Indeed, the number ol those ' who will lend themselves to these things is very limited, a reason why since bath- ing became more public and a means of display it has been on the decline. - It is time now that an intelligent public opinion should frown upon attempts to reduce its sanitary value and make it part of that eternal procession of fads and fancies . by which womanhood is lowered and its place occupied by a thing of successive shreds and patches. Jenny June. . PAINTED BOATS INIDLENESS. Yachts Rarely Used That Cost a Millionaire's Income to Keep. , Pittsburg Dis patch. About this time of year asaunterer on the Battery will see every day lying off and on several private steam yachts. Some of these will lie at anchor over at the anchorage of Liberty island, and others steam down in the morning among the other yachts off Bay Ridge. From 3 to 5 o'clock these yachts drop in one by one near the barge office, and send a little boat ashore manned by two sailors. The yachts are pri- vate carriages, so to speak, of wealthy stock brokers and others having d own-, town offices, and the boats will presently take off the owner and perhaps a friend or two and go steaming away again up the Hudson or down the lower bay. Some of these, notably Jay Gould's, are very expensive boats, and cost at least' $1,000 a month to maintain. . They are very natty and trim built, and; the brasses on deck shine like sold. Gleam- in cannon of bras, beautifully i mounted, can be seen forward and aft, and under the awnings are comfortable chairs and refreshment tables. j Any one of them seems a very ex- pensive outfit for a single individual,: and as a matter of fact in that respect discount special trains 100 per cent. The sailors who man them are dressed in full uniform ot navy blue or spotless white duck. Once in a while ga yly dressed ladies may be seen under the awnings, but as a rule during the sum- mer the yachts are simply so many con- veyances for business purposes. SERVANTS' TIPS. Why Pope Refused to Come to a Dinner. Chambers' Journal. sp-9f When Pope decided that he could not afford to dine with the Duke of Mon- tague because, each dinner involved a disbursement of five guineas to the servants of the Montagu house, the duke sent with his subsequent invita- tion to the poet an order for the amount iv question. Thus the difficulty attend-, ing "vails" or tips was overcome in tbis instance. To avoid paying them was possible, and, indeed, a writer in the World— for its contributions from Lord Chesterfield— that a certain noble lord, by connivance with his servants, really com- pelled his guests .- to defray the cost of the entertainment afforded them 1 At length, however, it was de- cided to put a stop to this system of ex- tortion, and at a meeting of gentlemen in Scotland in the year 1760 it was re- solved that in visiting one another they would give no money to - servants nor allow their own domestics to take any money from their guests. A few \u25a0 days later the Honorable Company of Scots Hunters, at their meeting held in Edin- burgh, came to a similar determination, although one noble, lord vigorously op- posed the proposition and threatened to knock down the first servant who re- fused to accept a gratuity. The servants themselves naturally looked upon the movement with disfavor; and in1764 '\u25a0 certain gentlemen who had resisted the payment of vails were attacked in Ran- elagh gardens by an angry mob of foot- men. _ WHAT THE MOON SAW. ALittle Girl That Wanted to Ask the Old Hen's Pardon. "Yesterday," said the moon to me, "I looked down upon a small courtyard' surrounded on all sides by houses. In the courtyard sat a clucking hen with eleven chickens, and a pretty little » girl was running and jumping around them. The hen was frightened, and screamed and spread out her wings over the little brood. Then the girl's father came out and scolded her, and I glidedaway and thought no more of the matter. _H-h-HH-S-M_9n "But this evening, only a few minutes ago, I looked down into the same court- yard. Every . thing was "< quiet. But presently ; the little . girl : came forth again, crept quietly to the hen house, : pushed back the Dolt and slipped into the apartment of the hen and chickens. % They cried out loudly and came flutter- - ing down from their perches and ran " about in dismay, and the little girlran' after them.*>^M_-H-WHfe-" "I saw it quite plainly, for I looked through a hole in the hen house wall. 1 was angry withi the willful child, and felt glad when her father came out and scolded her more violently than yester- day, holding i her : roughly by the arm. She held down her -head," and her blue- eyes were full of tears. ~- v * ..* ? ;--i. .'What are you doing here?' he asked. . "She wept and said: T wanted to kiss the hen,* and beg her pardon % for fright- ening her yesterday, but I was afraid to tell. you.'.;- fi : \u25a0 - * ; :t \u25a0 " "And the father kissed the innocent child's forehead, and kissed her on the mouth and eyes." i\ .ff'-i \u25a0\u25a0•'•;."\u25a0 Sayings of Poor Boys.

"A T sheep's heart . is : ' the softest," replied a little fellow, you can bite a sheep's heart, but a woman's heart you break." 'The writer in -an English ,-magazine, - who quotes; this, touching: answer, ex-- plains that the boy's mother had: died "of a broken heart, the result of her husband's brutality and desertion." The boy may have been taught by *a act, but he is also a born poet. - Another London school boy,., also a child of poverty, showed that he, too, felt the sentiment of poetry. The sub- ject of his composition being "Flowers," the boy described the T wonders of tire country where flowers "grew '\u25a0 wildin the fields, and not in skwares and rcunds.*Vh|-M_BMpBHIHBB_BB-888 "Nobody believes it till they go in the train. You can pull as many as you like, and. fill your baskets, and carry : home to your fathers and mothers. And the teacher said that if we could only go the next day there would be. just as, many flowers again. Some boys would not believe what the teacher said, but I" did, for God can easy do miracles. When lam a man 1shall go the next day." *m __3 Mighty Xi in rods in Africa. London Dally Telegraph. "Lion hunting made easy" might be the motto \u0084 employed by M. Cattier, a bold colonist of Algeria. He has taken up the succession of the . late, M. Bom- bonnel,' who died a few days. ago in Dijon, after having been for the greater part of his existence a T mighty "Nimrod in the North African jungles and deserts. If we are to credit ' the testi- mony of. tnose who know the colony, well, itis an error to suppose that there are no 'lions in Algeria. On the con- trary, the "monarchs of the desert" abound in the forests of Bona and in the gorges of Palestro. M. Cattier is "running" his t lion hunting business at Palestro, and doing his best to work up a connection, not only among gen- tlemen who may wish to accompany him on his expeditions, but also; among ladies. Here is a splendid opening at once for the "modern woman" who dares do all what man does. M. Cattier has inscribed his business cards with a notice to the effect that in his hunting rendezvous are to be found lions of the Atlas Mountains, panthers, jackals, and other wild beasts, and that his esta- blishment is provided with splendid re- fuge or shelter for the weaker sex. The property on which M. Cattier has organ- ized his happy hunting ground: was be queathed to him so far as the rights of : chase are' concerned— by his friend : Boinbonnel, at . whose disposal it was placed by the Government in order to facilitate his zoological . researches— or, rather, what may literally be called "pursuits'."

While Will Ellsworth was fishing from the W. and B. dock on Friday with a long drop line, to which two hooks and a heavy sinker were atttached, he hooked a two-foot shark.

It appears that ". the larger shark found the smaller - one hooked, devoured him up to the head, i and then, taking the bait of the other . hook, was in; turn caught.

The Best Bathing Dress Fop

Women and How ItIsMade.

There is no country in the world

Where finer stretches of ocean beach arefound than in America, whose shoresare washed both by the Atlantic andPacific, and whose white,sand-borderedlevels often skirtmany miles of coastregion without presenting any obstacleto the free enjoyment of salt water in

Its easy reaches and most playful, cap-tivating moods. There was a time,

thirty or forty years ago, when peopledid bathe forpure pleasure; when, with-out knowing much and thinking less inregard to hygienic or sanitary influ-ences, they bathed in salt water be-cause it exhilarated them, because itmade them feel more alive, because—well,perhaps, because pleasures were

'fewer and they were glad to make the

most of those they had.But after a while bathing became the

fashion and subject tothe laws of lash-lou. Whatever becomes fashionablemust of necessity in time become un-fashionable. The ebb and flow is asnatural ami unalterable as the ebb andflow of tides. The only way weknow athing is fashionable is by the alterna-tion with a period of depression or re-tirement. Whatever occupies the sameposition without change becomes"standard," but no longer rejoices in

the eclat of fashion.Sea-bathing is just now emerging

from a recent period of depression.Notwithstanding the fashion plates andthe fashion articles which appear andreappear* with the regularity of theseasons, there has been very littlebath-ingof late years, even at those summerresorts specially provided with beachand sea-bathing facilities. Eliminatethe children and the nursery maidsfrom the crowd upon the beach atNewport, Long Branch or Coney Island andafew would be left but spectators.

Perhaps this shows business has hadas much to do as anything with the de-cline in the healthful practice aud en-joyment of sea bathing. Whateverfashion touches it vitiates and, in time,

impairs. ItremovedBathing,

from the region of natural and health-ful pleasure ami made ita spectacle.This was opposed to old-fashioned ideasof reserve, and even decency, andobliged many to give up the practice onaccount of the impossibility of adaptingthemselves to new ways and methods.ln fact, there is something' revolting inthe idea of going out in midday, in thehot sun's glare, stripping off one'sclothing to the skin, putting on a showybitof flannel, and inarching withbarelegs and arms the distance— sometimeslong—from the bathing house to the sea,before a \u25a0 crowd of men and women,whose glasses are levelled as if at aballet, take in every detail of figure anddress or undress.- The objections tothis sort of ordeal may be "absurd," butthey are real, and have exercised a veryBtrong deterrent influence.

Our fashions still come from abroad.Since bathing became fashionable bath-ing dresses must be "fashionable" (inaccordance with foreign ideas of fash-ion) also. Thus we have cut off thesleeves to the shoulder and the trousersto a little below the knees, adoptingwith our exposed method a style ofdress which is only employed abroad inconnection with bathing-houses whichwheel into the sea, and from the steps

of which the bather makes the plungeinto the enveloping embrace of thewaves.

The effect of sea-bathing as a stimu-ulant and arestorative is wholly lost inthis capricious subjection tothe whimsof an irresponsible and intangibleauthority. Itis to begin withan almostinfallible test of the existence of mor-bid conditions of the body, but the re-sults in these cases are so little gratify-ing to vanity, so frequently

Positively Disfiguring

she was persuaded to continue the treat,ment and regimen for six weeks longer."Atthe end of that time her complexionhad acquired an almost transparentclearness. Her morbid conditions hadall disappeared. Her appetite had be-come natural and regular, her spiritsbright and elastic— in short, she was achanged and reconstructed person.

Salt and sulphur are known as potentInstruments in the extinction of manyforms of germinal disease, and every-one knows how exhilirating to thenerves, how stimulating to the muscles,how inspiring to every form of activityis a bath in the sea. So well is thisknown, that infusions of salt intepid water are the daily habitof persons . who live in cities andare restricted to sponge bathing, butthe effect is not to be compared' to freeand unlimited absorption of the rigorand force of the elemental principle inits native element. That this agent, sostrong, so vital, so remedial, should besubject to the restrictions and capricesof what we are pleased to call fashion,Is unworthy the sense and intelligenceof this age and century. Only that ithas fallen into disuse, so that the sub-ject has been felt to be of.little conse-quence, physicians ought tohave takenIt up long ago, lemoved it from therealm of caprice, and placed itupon ascientific basis, among other powerfulforces for good and for evil, to be usedwith discretion and also withknowl-edge.

Meanwhile it is pitiable and makesone doubt the general intelligence ofthe nineteenth century when one hearsthe fantastic tricks of costume chargedupon some of the frequenters of sum-mer watering places, as ifbathing, evenin public, removed all restraints of de-cency and common sense. It is truethat among the primitive tribes and thepoorer Chinese women jump into thewater immediately after childbirth,without any feeling of restraint andwithno after ill consequences, but thisis usage, and they are as insensible tothe virtue of covering as to the vice ofnudity. The objectionable feature ofthe particularly . showy and undressbathing suit is that itputs its wearer onparade and makes her specially con-spicuous during the performance of auact about which instinct usually throwsan air of reserve. It is worse than aballet dancer, because ballet girls weartheir dress for a living,whilethe batherelects to exhibitherself without illusionor necessity.;

Doubtless the best dress is thatwhichmen and boys wear, woven drawers orcombination of short drawers withsleeveless shirt forming as little of anImpediment as possible to active motionln the wearer. But this is not a dressfor the beach or in which woman canproperly walk over the sands under thefire of a hundred lorgnettes. Men, itissaid, do it, why not women? But thisis why not: The dress of men accus-toms every one to the strict outline ofform and limbs, so that

The Uncovering

them in part does not shock the sensi-bilities as does the same exposuie onthe part of women. Besides the figureof the woman is more conspicuous; itismade formaternity,is subject tochanges,ls a shrine, in a word.isdedicated to themost sacred of.mysteries, and to makeit the subject of ribald jest and

talk is to desecrate it. Some time.„weshall, perhaps, have *•reached • a:degree *

of purity- that willadmit of all naturaland healthful

'treatment of our.bodies

without question and without j-merely ;conventional restraint, v But at presentwe have.T not arrived at that poiut,'andwe ought to show some little'consist-,ency, and not affect a modesty .amount-ing.to squeamishness in certain waysand upset it all in others, showing thereisnofeieality in it. *

The material of which bathing dressesare made is important for health andcomfort, as *

well as appearance. The ;best, so far as known, isheavily twilledflannel, with the dress finish. This ab-sorbs less moisture, throws it; morereadily, is warmer, less clingy, andmore easily recoverable than any othermaterial. Undoubtedly the' best . coloris navy blue, and the only ornamenta-tion permissible a little white embroid-ery or white braid trimming. This com-bination is atmospheric. It falls inwith the blue of the water and theflecking of the sky; itdoes not disturbthe line of vision or shock it, like red,or seem incongrous and out of place,like white, or penitential like gray.Blue is '.-, always joyous.: It suggestsmovement, activity, out-of-door life,and the white mounting— not broad ortoo much, just enough for suggestion—the innocence of the enjoyment. i.

The best format which we have ar-rived, so < long as skirts are consideredindispensable, is the closed trousers,pleated iuto a band through which acasing is run for a drawing ribbon, anda high blouse, buttoned well over in

front withskirt attached by a belt, but-toned in line with the bodice.

The Neck,

the wrists, the belt, may be outlined Twith three or five rows of narrow whitebraid, but no collar—"sailor" or other—or cuffs should be added, for these onlyadd to the weight and wet and spoil theoutline, itmay be objected that bluewould become very monotonous if allbathers woreblue. But there are manyshades of gray blue, "cadet" blue andthe like which are suitable, particularlytothe young, and for change there ;aresmoke grays and very quiet peach tints,which are unobjectionable.

The bodice should be gathered, not .-pleated or laid in folds, and the skirtshould be gored, and the fullness, whatthere is, massed into pleats at the backand upon the hips, lt should descendseveral inches below the knee, and thetrousers willbe neater if lightly gath-ered into a band which may he buttonedon the inner part of,the ankle. Canvasshoes may or may not be used in walk-ingover the sands, but they should betaken off before going into the waterThere is no object in the frippery which'itis becoming the fashion with somehouses to attach to bathing dresses.Coarse lace, tinseled braids or embroid-ery, cords, pendants, fancy buttons andthe rest of it are all out ot place, andonly vulgarize and encumber, withoutadding any charms. .

Sea bathing at its lowest natural esti-mate is a natural and healthful form ofactivity and enjoyment, but we oughtnot to make ofita vulgar spectacle ;or,allow itto become theminister tocoarsecaprice. Indeed, the number ol those'who willlend themselves tothese thingsis very limited, areason why since bath-ing became more public and a means ofdisplay it has been on the decline.

-Itis

time now that an intelligent publicopinion should frown upon attempts toreduce its sanitary value and make itpart of that eternal procession of fadsand fancies .by which womanhood islowered and its place occupied by athing of successive shreds and patches.

PAINTED BOATS INIDLENESS.

Yachts Rarely Used That Cost aMillionaire's Income to Keep. ,

Pittsburg Dis patch.

About this time ofyear asaunterer onthe Battery willsee every day lying offand on several private steam yachts.Some of these willlie at anchor over atthe anchorage of Liberty island, andothers steam down in the morningamong the other yachts off Bay Ridge.From 3 to 5o'clock these yachts drop inone by one near the barge office, andsend a little boat ashore mannedby two sailors. The yachts are pri-vate carriages, so to speak, of wealthystock brokers and others having d own-,town offices, and the boats willpresentlytake off the owner and perhaps a friendor two and go steaming away again upthe Hudson or down the lower bay.Some of these, notably Jay Gould's, arevery expensive boats, and cost at least'$1,000 a month tomaintain. . They arevery natty and trim built, and; thebrasses on deck shine like sold. Gleam-in cannon of bras, beautifully

imounted, can be seen forward and aft,and under the awnings are comfortablechairs and refreshment tables. j

Any one of them seems a very ex-pensive outfit for a single individual,:and as a matter of fact in that respect

discount special trains 100 per cent.The sailors who man them are dressedinfulluniform ot navy blue orspotlesswhite duck. Once in a while ga ylydressed ladies may be seen under theawnings, but as a rule during the sum-mer the yachts are simply so many con-veyances for business purposes.

SERVANTS' TIPS.

Why Pope Refused to Come to aDinner.

Chambers' Journal. sp-9fWhen Pope decided that he could not

afford to dine with the Duke of Mon-tague because, each dinner involved adisbursement of five guineas to theservants of the Montagu house, theduke sent withhis subsequent invita-tion to the poet an order for the amountiv question. Thus the difficulty attend-,ing"vails"or tips was overcome in tbisinstance. To avoid paying them waspossible, and, indeed, a writer in theWorld— for its contributionsfrom Lord Chesterfield— that acertain noble lord, by connivancewith his servants, really com-pelled his guests .- to defray thecost of the entertainment affordedthem 1 Atlength, however, it was de-cided to put a stop to this system of ex-tortion, and at a meeting of gentlemenin Scotland in the year 1760 it was re-solved that in visiting one another theywould give no money to

-servants nor •

allow their own domestics totake anymoney from their guests. A few \u25a0 dayslater the Honorable Company of ScotsHunters, at their meeting held inEdin-burgh, came to a similar determination,although one noble, lord vigorously op-posed the proposition and threatened toknock down the first servant who re-fused toaccept a gratuity. The servantsthemselves naturally looked upon themovement with disfavor; and in1764 '\u25a0certain gentlemen who had resisted thepayment of vails were attacked in Ran-elagh gardens by an angry mob of foot-men. _

WHAT THE MOON SAW.

ALittleGirl That Wanted to Askthe Old Hen's Pardon.

"Yesterday," said the moon to me, "Ilooked down upon a small courtyard'surrounded on all sides by houses. Inthe courtyard sat a clucking henwith eleven chickens, and a prettylittle »girl was running and jumpingaround them. The hen was frightened,and screamed and spread out her wingsover the little brood. Then the girl'sfather came out and scolded her, andIglidedaway and thought no more ofthe matter. _H-h-HH-S-M_9n

"But this evening, onlya few minutesago, Ilooked down into the same court-yard. Every . thing was "<quiet. Butpresently ;the little . girl:came forthagain, crept quietly to the hen house,:pushed back the Dolt and slipped intothe apartment of the hen and chickens. %They cried out loudly and came flutter- -ing down from their perches and ran"

about indismay, and the little girlran'after them.*>^M_-H-WHfe-""Isaw it quite plainly, forIlooked

through a hole in the hen house wall. 1was angry withithe willful child, andfelt glad when her father came out andscolded her more violently than yester-day, holdingiher :roughly by the arm.

She held down her -head," and her blue-eyes were full of tears.

. A poor T child,; a pupil of a public,school in"England, struck a keen heart;

\u25a0note Tin answering ';, the preposterous ;

:question which some ;.' foolish:examiner:had asked: ,\:What is the difference be-Itween a sheep's heart and a man's or;a;woman's?" "A T sheep's heart . is:

'the

softest," replied alittle fellow, youcan bite a sheep's heart, but a woman'sheart you break."'The writer in -an English ,-magazine, -

who quotes; this, touching: answer, ex--plains that the boy's mother had: died"ofa broken heart, the result of herhusband's brutality and desertion." Theboy may have been taught by *a act,buthe is also a born poet.

-Another London school boy,., also a

child of poverty, showed that he, too,felt the sentiment of poetry. The sub-ject of his composition being "Flowers,"the boy described the T wonders of tirecountry where flowers "grew '\u25a0 wildinthe fields, and not in skwares andrcunds.*Vh|-M_BMpBHIHBB_BB-888

"Nobody believes ittill they go in thetrain. You can pull as many as youlike, and. fill your baskets, and carry:home to your fathers and mothers. Andthe teacher said that if we could onlygo the next day there would be. just as,many flowers again. Some boys wouldnot believe what the teacher said, but I"did, for God can easy do miracles.When lam a man 1shall go the nextday."

*m__3 Mighty Xiinrods in Africa.London DallyTelegraph.

"Lionhunting made easy" might bethe motto \u0084 employed by M.Cattier, abold colonist of Algeria. He has takenup the succession of the . late, M. Bom-bonnel,' who died a few days. ago inDijon, after having been for the greaterpart of his existence a Tmighty "Nimrodin the North African jungles anddeserts. Ifwe are to credit

'the testi-

mony of. tnose who know the colony,well, itis an error tosuppose that thereare no 'lions in Algeria. On the con-trary, the • "monarchs of the desert"abound in the forests of Bona and inthe gorges of Palestro. M. Cattier is"running" his t lion hunting businessat Palestro, and doing his best to workup a connection, not only among gen-tlemen who may wish to accompanyhim on his expeditions, but also; amongladies. Here is a splendid opening atonce for the "modern woman" whodares do all what man does. M. Cattierhas inscribed his business cards withanotice tothe effect that in his huntingrendezvous are to be found lions of theAtlas Mountains, panthers, jackals, andother wild beasts, and that his esta-blishment isprovided withsplendid re-fuge or shelter for the weaker sex. Theproperty on which M.Cattier has organ-ized his happy hunting ground: was bequeathed to him so far as the rights of :chase are' concerned— by his friend:Boinbonnel, at .whose disposal it wasplaced by the Government in order tofacilitate his zoological .researches— or,rather, what may literally be called"pursuits'."
