A Young Woman of Observation Bays That

"It is surprising," said a young wo

dressed and don't quite get there. I've
heard a good deal of talk and read a
good deal of writing about the fine art
of dressing well, but my idea Is that
it's just a question of the preservation
of the entities. It's just like apple sauce

with the proper thing. ,Yet a man may
be letter perfect in his condiments, or
may have a fit at seeing a water color

"There are two' other" Bins of attire
that men are often guilty of one a sin
of commission, wearing an overcoat
with a straw hat, and the other a sin
of omission, wearing an overcoat and
no gloves. These things are done all the
time in their season, and yet you sin
ners in costume think it a good joke to
see a woman in white gloves and a
mackintosh and so it is.
. "There's another thing yon men get
woeruiiy mixed up over spats and eat
ters. Any fool girl knows that the gaiter
is used for warmth, and therefore is a
tPart of a .winter costume, while the
spat was designed as an article for sum
mer attire to. keep the bottom of the
-light trousers from being soiled by black
shoes. It is quite as awful a solecism to
wear spats with dark trousers as it is to
wear a gaiter over a tan shoe, yet both
are committed constantly here in New
York, and by men who ought -to be
ashamecLof themselves for riot knowing
or not doing Jbetter,
"And, talking of tan shoes,' yon never
will convince me that it's either correct
or convenient to wear tan shoes in win
ter or in stormy weather. That's the
time for rubbers, and goloshes Over tan

And don't think for one instant that all
the rest of us don't observe these things
just as I do. If a man's dress is trig and
trim from top to toe weoedmire him,
even if he's as homely as sin that is,
as sin is supposed to be but if he mixes

Chinese Pawnbrokers.
Among the Canton . houses there are
occasional exceptions to the general one
storied or low constructions. Some of
these are built like square towers four
or five stories high, with no outside
windows save at a considerable distance
above the ground and no outside pro
jections by which thieves might climb
up. These establishments are called)
pawnshops, but they appeared to me
more to resemble our .banks where we
place deeds and other valuables for safe
ty. I understand it is usual among the
Chinese to deposit their possessions of
value, when not in use, in these estab
lishments. The people also store thero
during summer their winter clothing,
and loans may be obtained against the
goods stored. To have dealings with a
pawnshop is in no way considered de
rogatory to a Chinese gentleman's dig
nity. Florence O'Driscoll, M. P., in

When physicians of known re

also bring home Paine's celery com
pound for their own families, there can
be no doubt of its high staodins in the
eyes of medical men in general.
This Is what busy, successful practi
tionets are doing these Spring days ail
over toe country.
Paine's celery compound is prepared,
as they all well know, from the formula
of the foremost physician of this coun
try. Prof; Edward E. Phelps.. M. D , LL.
. or Dartmouth medical school.
Among, medical men there is' an abso
lute certainty as to just what Paine's.
celery compound is capable of doinfe.
-Toe careful record ot the vast number of
cases where it has made people well has
Decn published in the medical lournals
of the country. ......
Paine s celery compound stands to
day as the on6 thoroughly authenticated
remedy for weaknes and de ility due to
malnutrition of the nervous' system and
impure blood.
This hard working, earnest class of
professional men have never been slow
in accepting Paine's celery compound.
They declare that it gives the tired
body every posi We chance to get back
to a healthy condition. It cures ner
vous weakness, heart palpitation, general
lack of strength, and all forms of weak
ness; rtsj Etad restores the jaded, fa
tigued brain and nerves, because it pro
vides for the abnormal waste of tuete
parts by ao unusually prompt supply of
appropriate nerve food. It purifies the
blcod a cotning else can do.
ITeveif mn and woman plagued with
frequent headaches, and every business
man mace anxious by pain at the base of
the br-ia and neuralgia twinges, would
take Paine's celery compound, the world
would be lightened of a vast deal of
misery that ought never to bi borne. .
The most advanced medical thought
of the j latter quarter of the nineteenth
century h:s prepared Paine's celery
compound to meet and overcome ihtss
troubles that are due to Ul-ted, ill-reg
ulated nerves, and poor, thin blood.
N. N. Leaneard. M. D , of Charles

one ot the ablest physiciaos in the ' Bos

fluence, says :
After using Paine s celery compound
for four or five years in my general prac
tice- 1 can cheerfully recommend it. For
catarrh of bead or stomach, for instance.
it acts like a charm. For women in
many cases it is a blessing. For chronic

Dinner si la Busse although for the
matter of that it might be dinner a V An
glais, a l'ltalien, with just as good
reason in spite of ita rather fashion
able name, is really a very simple per
formance. It merely means that, instead
of having the various dishes composing
the repast all put upon the table at once,
they are placed on a a side table and
served from there by the servant, who!
4aspes each in turn. This affords a
chance for some decoration upon the ta
ble. There is usually some sort of em
broidered centerpiece, j The chances are
that it was achieved by one of the love
ly daughters or even by the lady of the
house herself, and it is always wise to
remark upon the elaborateness of the
stitoh or the beauty of the design if you
are a guest en famille. That not only
calls out the history of the centerpiece
and makes conversation, but lays up
treasures for yon in heaven and estab
lishes your reputation for good taste and
appreciation of the truly beautiful.
On this centerpiece a bowl of flowers
is commonly placed. In establishments
where money is no object orchids, ala
mandas, rare ferns and the newest, cost
liest roses appear and are changed from
day to day. But daisies and clover can
be arranged just as effectively and cost
nothing but the ; trouble of gathering
them, while in the winter there are jar
dinieres of pierced silver, which can be
filled -with maidenhair or soma other
delicate fern, and with a little care kept
green and thrifty for weeks. The old
fashioned -coasters used as stands for de
canters are often utilized in this way,
for any tinsmith can make a lining for
them in which plants will grow like a
green bay tree. The effect of flowers oh
the table can hardly be calculated. They
have more charms than musio to soothe
the savage breast, and any sentimental-
isi oi your acquaintance can ten or in
stances where a glass bowl of nastur
tiums tastefully arranged before him has
so wrought on the feelings of paterfa
milias that he has said not a word about
the overdone mutton or the soggy under
crust of his apple pie.
If your table! be a dream of beauty,
you will not require half such a hearty
meal. ' The entire . company will be so
wrapped up in admiring the scheme of
color and the originality' of your com
binations that no one will be aware of
the smallness of the portions you serve.
Fully half - the expense of . your posie

Time and Speed.
'. Infinite time is difficult to grasp. . Dig-
,tance is more easily understood,-and
some things which Sir Robert Ball has
.to say about the distance of the stars
from ; us will assist ns in comparing
them to the sun. Of ' these the most
striking is Actnrus,j and Dr. Elkin has
put this star at such a distance from the
solar system that the orbit of the earth
round the sun must seem from Arc turns
as large as 'would a penny piece'1 seen
at 100 miles. Arcturns, in other words,
is perhaps a dozen times as far off from
us as Prooyon is, and Prooyon, one of
the nearest bright stars, is 1,000,000
times the distance of the sun from us.
But the marvelous thing about Aro-
turus is its movement It has, compara
tively speaking, a very distinct "proper
motion" across the sky, though not as
large as some stars. Lately? however,
the spectroscope has ascertained for us
the pace of stars along the line of sight,
and Arotnrus travels,' it is now believed,
at the rate of S80 miles a second. ' Such
speed as this is truly terrific, and we
may well ask where this furious star is
hurrying to. As , Arotnrns, ten genera
tions hence, will not have moved to the
eye by as much as the diameter of the
moon, we shall have plenty of opportu
nity of discussing the question. Lon

thick wooded hillsides, leaning over the!
brinks of precipices, where tropical
creepers twist like snakes choking the-

. That atonxof aninmtedestrnction, tae
white ant, ' has passed it by. Other
growths have reared their heads out of
the jungle around it have grown, have .
lived their day, died and rotted back to
the roots which supplied them with life.).
In comparison , man has been a midget r
a mote in the sun,' hunting his fellow;
animals with flint headed arrows and
stone' axes, i Sitting, passing, gone, but
the great oaks have grown, have spread
their arms benignantly over the dust of
tiny shapes beneath, and planted in
dignity trave stood as emblems of
strength and power in meditations last-;
ing one,, two, ' three; five and six hun
dred years.:; They have secreted the
units of time in their hearts as a maiden
hides thebughts of her first love. Days;
have comfc as thick as the snows that
fall on Kunchinjunga or as the waves
crowding one another to the shores of
the Bengal sea. And then, as if to give
color to the superstition of the bill
man long since gone with his .tribe to
the land where shadowsfall deeper than
those cast by the teak tree in the jungle,
out of these emblems of strength, has
grown a weakness that has overthrown
a nation, i . -
The first oak of Burma to be felled
by a white' man was symbolio of the
nation's fall, and when the visitor to
Mandalay is shown the king's palace
and reads the inscription on one side of
a bungalowlike veranda, ''King The
baw sat in this opening with his two
queens and the queen mother when he
'gave himself up to General Prendergast
on the 80th day of November,-1885," if
he cares to continue the fancy, he will
notice that on each aide of this opening
the oaken carvings' are broken and de
faced, as if the events which changed
a dynasty had leaned fipon the teak
'wood and it had fallen. beneath the
eight Century. j

MASSACHUSETTS MILL MEN
Very Favorably Impressed br their Eeosp
f tion In the South.
By Telegraph to the Moraing Stax.l
Chaklotte, N. C, April 8 The
Massachusetts mill men who are' travel
ling tin the South are being utterly as
tonished by the manifestations of good
will being made to them by Southern
people. ;: ' .' " ' !' ; . (
Mr. D. A. Tompkins, under whose. di
rection the trip is being made, receives
each day thirty to forty telegrams from
Southern cities inviting the party to
visit them.
.The trip is the outcome of the agita
tion in New England, and especially in
Massachusetts, of the matter of compe
tition of Southern mills in textile 'manu
factures. Various laws bearing upon this
subject were under consideration oeiore
the committee on mercantile anairs
the Massachusetts Legislature. .
Mr. Lovering made an argument
which he set up Southern competition;
ss one reason why the Massachusetts
Legislature should go slow in making
any laws that might have a tendency to
drive New England capital to the South.
A few weeks ago he wrote for the Manu
facturers' Record a special article on the
suoject which brought him into corres
pondence through the editor with Mr.
D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. C. In
consequence of a conversation about the
Souths advantages. Mr. Tompkins in
vited Mr. Lovering to make a trip South.
In speaking of this information to Mr.
E. St. John, Vice-President of the Sa
board Air Line, the latter amplified
it by one from the Seaboard Air
Line to Mr. Lovering and several friends
he might select the party to become the
guests of Mr. St. John's road. While
these arrangements were perfecting the
committee on mercantile affairs conclud
ed also to make a trip, to the South.
The legislative committee's trip was
completed about two weeks ago. I
The impression produced on the minds
of these men (Mr. Lovering and party)
will probably determine the direction ot
the investment of much capital. Solar
the mill men fare well pleased. They
find advantages greater than they had
expected. While they bad not looked
for any unfriendly disposition, yet the
number of Invitations they are getting
produces a very pleasant impression and
will dissipate the slightest misgivings
they might have bad about the character
of reception New England mill men
would receive in coming South.
After inspecting Henrietta mills to
day the visitors returned to Charlotte
to-night and left via the Southern rail
way for mill points in South Carolina.
BLACKSBTjRG, S. C. April 8. The
committee of the Arkwright Club, of
Boston, consisting of Mr. Wm. C Lov
ering and five other gentlemen, ah of
whom are largely interested in mills in
New England, passed here to-night, en
route to Visit a number of mills in South
Carolina. They expect to see the mills
of Capt. E". A. Smith, of Pelser, and of
Col, J. L. Orr. at Piedmont, then re
turning to Spartanburg they will vjsit
Capt I. H. Montgomery's mills at Spar
tanburg and . Pacola, and thence to Mr.
D. E. Converse's mills at Clifton and
Cladale. The party is being well taken
care of by the Southern railway officials
whdaccompany them. "
Mr. D. ArTompkins, of Charlotte, is
also with the party,--as the Massachu
setts mill men are making -this trip un
der his general guidance. MrTFred.
Oliver. President of the Charlotte
Oil and Fertiller Company. Mr.
R, H. Edmonds, of . the. Baltimore
Manufacturers' Record. Mr. Glover and
Mr. Turner, oi tne aeaooara Air Line,
are also guests on the train. Mr. E.uSt.
John, Vice President of the Seaboard
Air Line, turned the party over to the
Southern Railway people in good shape.
