Paris, June IS.—The dressmakers have
risen to the occasion offered by ihe
crowds of foreigners in Paris and it is an
open question whether the exposition on
the banks of the Ssine or the shop win
dows and show room on ihe boulevards
are winning the greater amount of money
and attention.
Mrs. Potter Palmer is one. of the fair
Americans beloved of ihe Parisian dross
maker. because she Is handsome, shows
off a line gown to the greatest advantage,
has quite faultless taste anfl never be
grudges the price of a lovely creation. She
lunched last week in the gardens beside
the horticultural houses in a most com
mendable study in mauve. The- goods was
lovely etamine, which, though made in
abominated and perfidious Albion, is used
in a thousand styles by the French con
turieres, who can find no other light wool
goods on* half so durable, cool and grace
ful The skirt of Mrs. Palmer's gown was
set off by double rows of cream guipure
insertion about the foot, down the front,
across the back and in seven bands over
the hips. Both yoke and collar of her waist
were made of bluette blue panne overlaid |
with cream guipure, and from the yoke I
fell gracefully about her shoulders a
broad, lace trimmed collar of elamine.
On top of the lady’s lovely silvery hair
sat a hat of mauve crin, bound about the
crown with one hand of black velvet,
which seemed to be the stronghold of a
pair of very downy plum- s of da.k.ing blue
that nodded directly in front. White
Gloves. It was observed, were worn with
this. They were fastened at the wrist by
two very big dark blue pearl buttons, and
•titched, in a tone of blue to match on
either back. When the luncheon was over
and the lady rose she unfurled an extreme
ly charming sunshade of blue taffeta, the
black and white silk gown,
belt and two little labs of tourquois blue,
and vest of white. The skirt Is UH

At tile AinbaaNudor’a Dinner.
A radiant vision at one of Ambassador ,
Porter’s dinner parties the other evening
was Miss Goelet In white chiffon, pow
dered with tiny s lver crescents. Her bkirt
in f.ont had just the merest quilling of
lisse and lace at the foot.
At the sides this quilling grew
to a full but narrow' frill, while out on
the edge of her train It broke into a

greatly to the admiration of all femininity
present.
Not one evening dress In hundreds Is
made without sleeves, and all sleeves,
whether a casing of lace or a whiff of
tulle bandaged about her arm, come to
the elbow. While, however, these sleeves
run far down upon the arm, they en
croach not at all on the shoulder. It
Is a wonder to the uninitiated how the
wizard dressmakers hold these arm cas
inos in place at all. but It is done by
some mysterious jugglery, for the effort
now is to display the whole slope of the
shoulder and full width of ohesL It Is
at the moment a very pretty fashion for

stoe’k of tulle tied about the neck and a
vast cabbage knot of the light fabric
massed under one ear.

I'rcttcy Children at the Big: Fair.
It does not take long for n beauty-lov
ing woman to detect the charm and
sweetness of the juvenile fashions, as dis
played by the short-skirted, short-trous
ered contingent at the fa r in this glow
ing weather. A group of three young
sters on the moving platform the other
morning were enjoying their sensations
to the fullest extent of their unjaded lit
tle minds, and in happy, childish igno
rance of the trammels of line feathers.
The eldest girl wore a smartly figured
foulard in coral red on a sympathetic
creamy ground. A cream white batiste
embroidery decked her skirt and waist
where an edging was needed, and yoke
and sleeves were made of ba’tiste In the
same tone, prettily diversified by lines
of single beading. A Mg bow of red
spotted foulard ribbon bed itself jauntily
erect on the front of her cream straw hat,
and with her black hose and black and
white ties she was as ingratiating a figure
of sweet eleven as could be found.
Her little brother, in all the comforlab’e
bravery of crisp French blue linen, stood
beside her. He wore dark blue half-hose
and high buttoned shoes, with uppers of
material that exactly matched his suit.
Over his shouMers and back from his
chubby hands turned a wide collar and
deep cuffs of white linen, embrollered in
blue, while a dark blue silk tie and
'leather belt of the same color matched the
riobons on his cream straw hat.
Gripping one of the wooden staff sup
ports was the little sister of the trio, all
in baby white. Tucks and a judicious
temperate use of white embroidery gave
her gown just the proper air of elegance,
while her white hat bore a couple of
white feathers and a decorative knot of
ribbon on its high rolled pompadour
crown.
Numbers of children seen In the fair
grounds wear brown Holland gowns
smartly piped in a colored linen, and
made after the newly revived empire
mode. A sweetly artistic miss, gazing
with ten-year-old appreciation at restless
residents of the dqustrium, wore, a pale
tan linen suit piped in blue. The girdle
of stitched blue iinen c.aught her just un
der the arms, and her hat was of tan
linen, trimmed with stitched blue linen
bows. On a day when the mercury touch
ed the blood heat mark, she looked the
coolest and most suitably dressed little
woman in the languid and perspiring
crowd . Rachel Dunning.
Chinese Indifference to fain.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"Avery curious thing about the Chinese
is their indifference to pain.'' said Dr. E.
Z. Simmons, the veteran missionary of
Canton, who was in the city a few days
igo. "We do a great deal of surgical
work in the great City Hospital conduct
ed by the united missions at Canton, and
it was at first supposed that there would
be endless trouble in persuading the na
tives to take anaesthetics, but the doctors
found, to their surprise, that anaesthetics
were rarely needed, and that their pa-

Tame Humming Birds.
From the Chicago Record.
Of all these humming-birds—tome a vlv
Id green, others with a patch of brilliant
iridescent red beneath the bill—on 3 ,
named Bob, has for five successive years
perched on the same twig of ft a. orange
tree, and is naturally the one I know be*
He never allows me to catch him. but I
have had my nand within six inches of
his little body. I have fancied that he is
jierhaps the hummer I once and
released. I found him one morning—if.
Indeed, he !o the same one—in a nest in an
orange tree, obout thirty feet from ihe
tree he now occupies—a strange object
looking more like a fuzzy spider than a
bird, and lucked away in a nest made of
moss and the fine parts of seeds.
As I stood lo< king into it the little bird*
heard me, and thrust up their open
mouths in a c. tucal fashion, and, think
ing them hungry, I got some sweetened
water and fed t em with it, us.ng a smal
twig for the venose. While I was doing
this the mother bird returned, and buzed
around my la e in a threatening manner
and when 1 withdrew she alighted and
covered them, sinking down gently up<x
them. In this way she was photograph
ed. and when on the noet would permit
me almost to touch her without moving
Every day I fed the young birds with su
gar and water, and Anally they would hop
to the rim of tho rust when I apptoached,
never displaying the slightest evidence cf
fear.
They now began to take lessons In flying
The parent bird would sit on the nest or
on a twig near by, and use her wrings
making the humming sound, but not ris
ing; and this the little birds imitated,
clinging to the nest wfith their delicate
feet. On the second day I noticed that
they rose into the air five or six inchei
during this exercises, and, believing that
they would soon leave the nest, I cut off
the twig which held it and carried it,
with its two occupants, into the house,
fastening it in the window. The follow
ing day the birds left the nest and be*a r
to follow me about, and at once became
the most beautiful of pets. They were ab
solutely without fear, and constantly
darted about the room, searching for tiny
flies on the windows or in the flowers
Very soon when called they responded,
and when a linger was extended alighted
upon It and wiih charming naivete, kitting
and eyeing the persons with their liny
beadlike eyes with perfect confidence
Bob frequently came to the table at
meals, and would perch upon the sugar
bowl. clinging to the handle, down which
he slowly slid, to flutter up again. To
describe ell the actions and tricks of these
beautiful creatures would require much
space, as nothing could exceed their grace
and vivacity. At night the humm ng
blrds retlrel to a dark closet, roosting on
the edge of a basket, never attempt ng to
thrust their big heads and long bills be
neath the diminutice wings. Here they
slept all night, and in early morfting wouH
fly out into the room and awake me by
hovering in the air just ov*r my face fan
ning it with their wonderful wings. Some
times I would pretend to sleep on. but th
birds kepi humming, with an occasion*
twitter, until I opened my eyes, tvhe
their activity was redoubled, and nothini
could have been ptjatner than their ac
tions'. They wanted their breakfast, and
without delay.
1 kept on a stand a glass of sugar and
water. A broom splint was the means to
the end. and while the hummers poised in
the air, 1 fed them with drops of nectar,
they licking il up with the'r lorg, thread
like tongues with evident delight. Then
they would alight on my finger es I held
it out, and eye me with approval, and cl
low me to go to sleep again, if I wished
later, perhaps, following me down sta r
to sit on the sugar-bowl and be regaled
with more nectar.
Delightful as were these pets, it wa
manifestly a hard fate to be imprl* ned s
near the flowers and growing verdure; an
so it came about that the hummers ob
tained their liberty.

A FALSTAFFIAN TRAGEDY.
A Guide's Tale ,f tlic SpauiKli Killed
In I’nradoues Pass.
From Forest and Stream.
A correspondent writing from Cuba tells
this incident of (he famous Paradones
Pass, in the Cubitas mountains:
We discovered the pass without much
difficulty, and spent the remainder of the
afternoon in riding through it and gazing
upon its beauty and grandeur. It is a rift
(doubtless volcanic) !u the solid marble of
which the mountains appear to be com
posed. It is a mile or more in length, and
of a width Just sufficient for a wagon road,
with a margin of a few yards on each side.
Beyoeid this margin rise the sheer walls
of marble to a hight which I will not at
tempt to slate, as we had no means of
measuring, but it was a long way to the
op. The margin on each side of the trail
jrew thick with tropical vegetation, and
ven in many places along the vertical
rocks trees had succeded in attaching
ihemselves to crevices, and while putting
-tern and branches upward like ordinary
reef, had also put vertical branches down
ward toward the ground. I suppose these
were of the nature of roots, but they
ooked just like ropes; and taking it all
-ound the walls were in great part ob
scured with vegetation. This greatly en
hanced the beauty of the scene, end we
all gazed with delight upon a sight the
like of which we had never seen before.
Twenty-two years ago or thereabout, In
the Ten Years' War. a Spanish column of
roops was surprised in this pass by Cu
•an insurgents, who lined the edges of the
llffs and hurled down stones upon them
. fter the practice of the Moors and Kpan
h In former days, os related by Irving.
There appears to be no authentic accont
>f the number killed, but it may have been
onslderable. We Interrogated our guide
ibout It on the following day. He was
,n aged Cuban of unusual spirit and In
elligenee, a master of the machete ond
t thorough woodsman. He told 11s that
'he tradition of the massacre of the Bpan
sh was Indeed true; that he himself was
one of the Cubans who had thrown the
stones, and that many Spanish
ware killed. All this was ex
tremely Interesting to us; we had al
ways heard of this massacre, and here we
were at last on the Very ground and talk
ing with one of the men who did It. We
pressed him for facts, particularly ns to
numbers killed. He replied in the Span
ish way, "Oh, many, many.” 1 asked
him If he thought a hundred. He said
probably more, and we let the matter
drop for the time being. The guide bore
the usual appearance of poverty and desti
tution, hut on the strength of his employ
ment as guide, vthleh was doubtless un
usual, he had Indulged in a bottle of Ja
• malca rum, which he pressed on us with
great liberality, and of which ho partook
himself copiously. After one or two tum
blers of the scorching beverage had been
turned down his aged throat, he became
more communicative, ond I asked him
again about the number of Spaniards
killed; he now replied that It. was over W.
Later, about the time the rum was en
tirely consumed, he was again asked. *nl
he said "more than 300.” Finally, on eur
return to camp, when we settled with him
for hla services, we were so pleased with
him—for he had really given us a most In
teresting day—that we gave him a dollar
more than his price and invited him to
dinner with us. Thl* seemed to have tom
pletely warmed the cookies of his heart,
and he showed his appreciation of our at
tention In the only way possible to him,
viz . by Increasing the number of Sp.tnlah
killed In the Faradone* Pass, for on cne
of the packers asking him about this time
at to the number, he replied with great
gusto "More than a thousand."
