The season for picnics is flow at hand,
but when wo sit down and reflect that
at picnics 100 years ago it was the cus
tom for girls to stand up in a row and
let the men kiss them all good bye, all
the enthnsiaim about national progress
seems to be a great mistake, especially
as far as picnics are concerned.
"Bab” writes as follows in the New
York Star: "The cotton frock is abroad
and to be strictly smart it must be de
eidedly slinky. During the days of tha
Empire everything came into that figure,
and ahall we, by all the rules of fashion,
when we have cotton made up after the
manner of that time, let it know of the
existence of starch? Certainly not. And
the consequent: is that wearing a cotton
gown means looking very ,mnch as if
one were walking around in one’s petti
coats; though, by- the-by, petticoats are
now in the sing ' ir number. Starch is
regarded a* a j . partion of the devil,
and only toe people who don’t know
use it. Of course, it continues to attach
itself to mankind, else how do his col
lars stand up, grow limp, and prove his
angelic disposition. A woman has one
thing to be thankful for in the waim
weather—she doesn't have to wear ^
stiffly starched shirt; and she decs not
have to wrestle for half an hoar about
getting the bnttons in. What hideous
things they are, nr *•’ *! I don’t mean
men, I mean shin.. Why can’t men
wear Boft white mull affairs with lace
scarfs down the front, lace luffles
at the wrist, and. altogether, make pic
tores of themselves. ”

A Season la Waahingtou.
This wintering in Washington is simply
• "fad” that has become more or leas a
fashionable “chronlcism, ” and I know
that it Is not enjoyed half as much as
some fashionable women would have one
believe. A lady who passes her summers
at Newport or Bar Harbor, and her win¬
ters in France or Italy, with a season in
London thrown in, concluded to try a
season in Washington. To the capital
she went, with a retipue of servants and
equipages, and established herself in one
of the new palaces that abound in the
northwest of the city. Two months
have completely cured her, and Wash¬
ington will hereafter be denied the light
of her presence. She declares that there
are more vexatious causes to disturb
one’s temper in Washington than in any
other corner of the earth, and that life
there is not worth the countless worries
one must endure to enjoy (1) it.
The servant question aione ia One
which calls fora special bill that even
congress might interest itself in. All tbs
servants in Washington are of the easy
going southern darky type, with an in¬
dolence of manner and motion that to a
nervous northern individual becomes in
time exasperating. They have not lost
their knack of concocting toothsome
dishes, every imaginable kind of hot
bread, and other inviting things appre¬
ciated by southern epicures; but they (in
their own minds) stubbornly refuse to
encourage 8 o’clock dinners and mid¬
night. suppers. The old fashioned 2
o’clock dinner, universally served
throughout the south, is, to their way of
thinking, a much more sensible way of
conducting this important item of a day’s
history, Now, when one takes a fur-
nished 1 house in Washington, one must
necessarily take half a dozen, more or
less, of the above type of servants, and
this begins at once to unsettle any pro¬
posed life of ease and contentment.—
Max Eliot in Boston Herald.
Will the Iron Age End?
"I was talking with Mr. Chamberlain
the other day,” said Judge Tompkins,
"who is a practical man of our coal and
Iron company. He made a startling
suggestion. Said he: ‘The time may
come when all the iron mines of this
country will be abandoned. The most
generally diffused metal on earth is
aluminum. It is found almost invari¬
ably in clay, especially in red clay. It is
now extracted from clay by a very ex¬
pensive and tedious process, at a cost of
more than $500 a ton. Some one will
invent a process for getting aluminum
out of clay by a rapid and cheap process.
Then farewell to iron mines. ’
"I asked him what was the value of
aluminum.
"He replied that it has three times the
strength of steel, and only one-third its
weight. This makes it, of course, the
pioet valuable of metals. It was only
discovered in 1828. It is bright, and it
never tarnishes. Louis Napoleon offered
$6,000 for a process for extracting it
from clay, and two small bars of alumi¬
num were presented to him by a French
chemist as the result. It was enormously
expensive, but Napoleon had works estab¬
lished for extracting it, and he used it as
a substitute for the silver eagles that
were borne above tho armies of France.
It has all the beauty of silver, is more
lasting, stainless, and has only one-fourth
the weight of silver. The eagles of
France are thus made seventy-five more resplendent,
more enduring, and per cent,
lighter in weight. You look out for
aluminum. Some one will yet invent a
process for digging up common best dirt and
extracting therefrom this of all
metal.”—Atlanta Constitution.

A Vasaargtrl who graduated last week
read an essay on "The Press,” from
which we take the following: "The news
paper has become the exclusive reading
of millions, and what the college does
for the few the newspapers does for the
many. If they would only col ect all
useful and important news, discarding
sensation aud falsehood, and would
seek to clothe themselves with troth, as
becomes lenders of pnblie opiuiou, too
American newspaper would become the
great conservator of public morals.”
There ate evidently some very smart
girls in Vassar and the News comes fully
up to this young lady’s standard of ex
cellence.
the '‘SMetAft »« CMita. roads
Owing to the absence of wagon
and railways the Chinese depend upon the
rivers, canals and the ocean along toe
coast for nearly all their carrying. Any and
interruption to the immense traffic
travel of these waterways would prove
very serious. It is from this conoitioa
of affairs that piracy is considered one of
the most heinous offenses. For tola
crime death by the slicing process is the
penalty. The slicing mode of execution
rivals any of the fiendish tortures prac¬
ticed upon captives by our North Ameri¬
can savages. There are degrees even in
this devilishness. There are deaths by
8, JO, 20, 50, 100, 1,000 slices. The con¬
demned person ia fastened to a cross, and
then the executioner commences at the
eyebrows and cuts away such portions of
toe body as will not produce sudden
death by shock or bleeding till there is
little more tissue to hack at, when he
opens the chest and tears out toe heart
I was told by an Irish gentleman in
the Chinese imperial customs that he
once witnessed the slicing execution of a
noted pirate, and he described it as hor¬
rible beyond imagination. Another gen¬
tleman had been present when a poor
woman had been sliced to death beoanse
her husband had died suddenly, and she
had been tortured into a oonfeeaion of
having poisoned him. At other times
she had stoutly denied any knowledge of
the cause of his death. However, she
had been condemned to this horrible
death, and she met her fate With'A resig¬
nation and bravery which astonished
those who saw it The American who
was present described it as a most horri¬
ble sight and one that returned Francisco to Chron- him
in fearful dreams.—Ban

most gifted and the most enlightened
journalist must of necessity write to or¬
der, and, In very many instances, the
man who gives the order is the person
whom an enlightened willingly obey. and patriotic This spirit
would least appears
to be unavoidable. The man who has
created, bought or inherited a news¬
paper must either control or lose it. It
is his; he is toe master; no power on
earth can nullify hia right, and yet he
may be a person singularly unfit to
wield such an organ.
The newspaper is often a mere ap¬
pendage to other enterprises, which the
owner deems far more important, combined and to
which the journal bears bell, the feeder and
relation of cow and cow

to him; and all who write for it are, and
