A CURTAIN OR SMIL AX AND LILIES.
Ihe trimming of the dress, is of yellow satin
with neutral tinted embroidery, but it can
bo surrounded by a hand-embroidered bor¬
der. It ojiens both back and front, and is
cut round. It is only sewn
to the under dress on the
upper part, and is lined with silk. The
broad border running round the skirt is
only sown to the upper dress, and is edged
• n both Mdes with tiny flounces or rufiles of
silk or gauze. Both the under or upper gar¬
ment must he of equal width, if the dress is
meant to clear the ground, but if it has a
short train it must be wider. The sleeves
are lined with silk. The lower parts are
made with puffs of gauze. The upper part
of the sleeves are gathered and puffed.
The sketch is not an original study of
fashion, but a copy of a photograph of
Princess Maud of Wales, taken within a
month, and showing her as dressed for an
evening occasion. You will see that there
is not much ‘‘style’’ about her.

M S. Adsit, and his
craft is one of a

now lyiDg at Coen¬

New York Recorder.
This aggregation of
boats is one of the
4 unique s ghts of the

iness that tively few have bus¬

It s well worth a visit, not only to look
at the boats Irom the stringpiece of
the pier, hut to walk about upon them
and cad upon the | eople who live in
them. '1 he “canalt-rs” are very hos¬
pitable people, and arc rather pleased
than otherwise at any attention paid
them by sirangeis.
The basin between the piers at
Coenties Slip is a geuu.ue village in win¬
ter time, in most respects as different
from the great city as if the inhabitants
were living in some remote part of Ul¬
ster County. It is as if a rural com¬
munity, with its peculiar customs, had

down at the edge of the city, there to
remain a while, maintaining contentedly
its rustic life, and having but slight

bodily as points of color here and there
in the prevailing white. The next day
not a sign of pole or clothesline could
be seen anywhere about the village. It
was evident that one of the unwritten
laws of the community made that day a
general wash day.
When the reporter began his investi¬
gation of the village he was directed to
Captain Bunce as the “likeliest” man to
give information. The captain, a tall,
powerful looking man, was just leaving
his boat, but he turned back willingly
an d led the way to the cabin. The roof
ot the cabin is about two feet above the
level of the deck—or shall we say street?
To enter the cabin, a hatch had to be
pusue back and a tiny door opened,
Then down a steep, narrow flight of
stairs, and the captain was at home.
People who feel cramped in au eight
room fiat, and have to use an empty coal
bin in tne basement for storage purposes,
would be wofully dismayed at the pros¬

are three rooms in Captain Bunce’s
home. The living room is perhaps as
much as eight feet square. Two rooms
opeu from it, one just large enouga to
hold a bed, with space to walk by it and
turn around; the other sufficient for a
Cooking stove, with very little space left
for the cook. Beep house in such quar¬
ters! Certainly; Captain Bunce does it
aud is bringing up a larnily there, too.
Wheu tne captain and his visitor
entered Mrs. Bunce w r as attending to her
housework, and two children were play¬
ing upon a couca. A third child was
away at school. Toat makes a fivnily of
down the river, in tows, it is the most
natural thing in the world to pass from
boat to boat, and visit friends. I came
down the river once in .a tow consisting
of 101 boats. That’s about as many as
there arc in the slip now, and it means
quite a population.” |
“You wouldn’t think seriously of be¬
asked ing seasick Mrs. on Bunce. a canal boat, “It does would happen, you?” | '
though. I’ve been fearfully seasick. |
Oh, no, not in the canal, of course, but •
on the lakes. We go the length of
Lake Champlain, you know, and there
is sometimes dreadful weather there.”
Leaving the quaint little home, the
captain and visitor went forward. The
quarters for the crew were not very at
tt active, but they were no worse, ap¬
parently, than the accommodations for
sailors on oceaa steamers. Many of the
boats have a stable for their horses or
mules.
“When we tie up for the winter,” said
the captain, “we send the hordes into
the country to board. It costs too much
to keep them here.”
“Is your cargo on board!”
“Yes. This time it consists of farm
produce, though toe Champlain ca
nalers usually bring lumber. The cargo
remains on board in my case for ninety
days. I pay titty cents a day for dock
charjes, and I get paid by the owners
for storage. Wnen the ninety days are
up I shall discharge the cargo and go up
the river as soon after that as the weather
becomes suitable.”
“ \S hat is the capacity of a canal
boat, compared with a freight car?”
On this boat we can put about 9000
bushels of wheat. They usually put
about 1000 bushels upon a freight car.
So, you see, a couple ot our boats would
ioad a ve*y res pectabie freight train.
Some of the captains own their cargoes,
going into the business as a speculation;
others dispose of the gooas on cotntnis
sion, and others still are simply common
carriers. I own this ooat and five others,
but I'm not too good to run one of my
boats myself. Boats like this cost about
*2809, and they last, with proper care,
hom fifteen to twenty years. I’ve knowu
boats to last twenty-five years.
“I suppose,” he continued, “that it
must seem dull to you, this quiet life of
tne canal men, but I guess we average to
be as contented and happy as most. It
is mostly open air life in the summer,
aud never unhealthy. If people like
good scenery they have au opportunity
with us. Uhen we tie up we can take
in some of the pleasures of city life, if
; we want to. The women go ashore now
j aud then, of course, to get provisions,
I and when we are on a trip they stop off
i occasionally for tee same purpose. The
j home boat, you see, becomes house just land.” as much

THU MULES' QUARTERS.
I five apparent comtorc and con

j them, there time is a theie frisky is pet hired dog, aud in
summer a man who
sleeps in a bunk in the forward end of
the boat. A very cheer*, neat little
pkee is the captain’* home.’ There are
pictures on the walls, books and papers
on a table, curtains at the little wm
dows, a carpet on the floor—in short,
everything except >pace that the most
fastidious housekeeper could demand.
“I suppose,” said Mrs. Bunce, smiling,
“that most housekeepers would wonder
where I manage to pm things. Well, I
have all the room I nefrd. The cabin,
you see, really exteno^the whole width
of the boat, and that part of it that is
under the deck is mat e into a series of
lockers.”
“What do you do vjth the children
at night?” wherK
“The couch i|co Gft. little ones are
playing now is made a bed at night,
and there’s a berth jm back of you.”
The reporter turned, and, raising a
little curtain, saw & regular steamer
berth made up for oc-<\'kucy.
“P.enty of room ■Kcr^tand ,^vu n see,” said Mrs.
Buuce, “if you nRmie how to
economize. Why, of the cabins
they have a parlor orgm or an upright
piano!”
“That implies some social life among

“Social? I should think sol” Mrs.

with sepulchres but with a sort of armor

lace, which often resembled the features
of the dead. {
These peculiar coverings were made
of several pieces of fine linen, which
were glued together and pressed into a
mould, then bedaubed with several lay¬

traced the most peculiar characteristics
of the defunct. Each bust is composed
of several pieces, the face comprising
one which is painted in deep yellow and
