Captain Dickson of the British bark Eudora reports an unusual electrical display during a storm in the Sonth Pacific. The Eudora left Jnnin, Chile, on February,29,and while^beating down the coast toward Cape Horn the 6torm was seen approaching tho vessel's stern, snapping and sizzling like a wall of fire, but traveling only at a moderate speed, tho wind being light at that time. When the 6torm struck the vessel it blew with the force of a hurricane, and for a time it looked as if the masts would be blown out. There was a great electrical display all over the rigging, and a great ball of fire floated near the mizzenmast and exploded with a report like that of a Krupp gun. The tr?rfl rifted and n^orlv blinded. but fortunately no ono was seriously hart. The vessel labored heavily in ' the 6ea, and the wire rigging was ablaze with electricity. The storm soon cleared away, and the sea at once became as calm as before.?Fhiladel- 1 phia Record. Merchants' Marks.

I have seen "Tanta Sanna," the sobriquet of President Kruger's -wife, on several occasion??, and have noticed her one style. She always dresses in black, and the cut of her gown would certainly not be an advertisement to a West End dretsmaker; comfort, not elegance, is her maxim. Plain though Mrs. Kruger is in the matter of dress, she has her little vanity. She positively refuses to see a visitor who may happen to call before she has "tidied up." The tiding up takes place in the afternoon, and consists of putting on her best black gown, -with trimmings. Mra. Kruger is famous fcr her coffee, with which visitors are always regaled when they go to the Presiden-1 tial residence in Pretoria. Mrs. Kruger thinks she make3 tiie Dest couee 01 any good "huisvrouw" in Pretoria, and she boasts that she can make a tin of condensed milk go further than any one else. Mr. Kruger, while thinking her "Mann" the greatest statesman the world has ever seen, takes no sort of interest in politics. She, I believe, does not know what the franchise means, but anything her husband tells her in connection with political matters she unhesitatingly accepts. In conversation she always addresses her "Mann" as "Oom," and he in turn call6 her "Tanta." They are a happy couple, although her husband's sleep^ ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? -3 Jam 4A 4kA Anf leS&Ut'SB UUU UCVULIUU iu due ttunao ux State in the midnight houis distress her considerably.?The Empire. LITTLE HISS ASTOB. That the Duchess of Baccleuch should have consented to become the guest of Jtlr. W. W. Astor, at Cliveden, and also at his town house in Carlton House Terrace, may be regarded as the greatest social victory that he has ever achieved. For Her Grace of Buccleuch has hitherto been the leader and the moving spirit of what was known as the anti-American league. The latter consisted of a number of the grandest ladies of English society, who, with the object of resisting what they were pleased to describe as the American invasion, bound themselves never to permit an Ameri" * i ii _ ii r can or a neorew 10 cross men inresnolds, or to attend any entertainmenet either given bj Americans or where Americans were known to be among the invited guests. No one, save Mr. Astor himself, can tell exactly how he managed jto effect toe conversion of the Duchess. Inasmuch as the rent roll of her husband exceeds $4,000,000 per annum^ the consideration can scarcely have been of a pecuniary character', such aB has Jjeen rumored in the case of the Countesses of Cork and of Warwick, who are reported to have received phenomenally large checks lor their vaporings in Mr. Astor's Pall Mall Magazine. The honors at all these entertainments given by Mr. Aetor are done by his fourteen-year-old daughter, who gives every promise of surpassing the rare beauty and charm of her lovely mother. Little Miss Astor takes the place of her dead mother at table with the utmost self-possession and dignity, aid retires immediately after ward to ner apartments, ana presumably to bed. She was in New York the other day for the purpose of being confirmed at Trinity Church, but few persons knew of her presence here until the day of her departure.? New York Journal. B002I IX SHXHT WAISTS. "The moet prosperous trads of the moment after bicycles," say3 a manufacturer, "is that in ladies' shirt waists. The bicycle is the author of this prosperity, too, just as it is the deathblow to many industries," which perhaps accounts for the continued popularity of these waists, tnougn tney nive oeen aaoptea Dy everybody, and in consequence should, by laws of fashion, be frowned upon by the exclusive. The story is told of how the Viennese milliners a few years ago saw their profits decrease through the popularity of a cheap straw hat, "which, worn by a leader of fashion, was adopted by all of their customers. The situation was serious, for the hat required bui little trimming, and its coat was trifling, and a secret session of the milliners was called to take measures to relieve it. A few clays afterward all the workwomen in Vienna appeared in the cheap hats. The 6hrewd milliners had bought them up and distributed them gratuitously. The effect was speedy; the aristocrats doffed them at once, and the milliners were soon reaping their usual harvest. The reign of the shirt waist is proof against any such intrigue as this. They are on sale from twentyfive cents upward, and in consequence are, in some style, within the reach of every woman. Yet their vogue is so pronounced in circles where vogue is made that a shirt-waist toilet is not deemed inappropriate for even more than semi-formal occasions. There are shirt waists and shirt waists, to be sure, and the one worn by the woman of fashion is a gem in its way. It is made by a tailor; its fit and finish are admirable ; its cost may be from SI to $10; it is fastened with gold or jeweled studs; it is held abont the waist with a belt whose buckle is a triumph of the i silversmith or goldsmith, and, though I it is still only a shirt waist, its peri fection and elegance are evident and | high priced.?New York Times. THE WEDDING TROUSSEAU. A beautiful wedding gown, quite j elaborate in effect, is of cream paau ! de soie, cream satin and lace. The skirt is made with three wide gores, and is gathered at the top all around, i It has a graceful train, moderately | long. The basque wuist is made with a smooth fitting lining. The back has ! fullness only in the lower uart. drawn / well to the center by two rows of shir | ring, and the ironts lap la gurpnce j fashion at the bottom. The puffed sleeves are made up in full length. A novel completion for the puffs is given by roses, made of the white lace and satin, sewed to narrow bands joined to the lower edges of the puffs. The neck is finished with a lace ruff. A fashionable traveling gown is made of etamine. The skirt has a front gore, a gore at each side and a gathered back breadth. The basque waist has a seamless back. A ripple peplnm of fancy crepe lengthens the waist stylishly, its ends being wide apart, but concealed by a fancy belt.

The hat that is tilted right over the nose is the fashionable hat pro tem. The shirt waist with the detachable collar is a very useful garment for warm days. Costumes of white mohair will be much worn during the summer, especially at sea-side resorts. Qrass linen takes the lead among thin materials this season, and at least one gown of thi^s a necessity for a laamonaoie ouiai. -*. Batistes aje not all ecrQ in color, ana dark bine, or gray striped.with white, or white striped with 1)Tack, make very useful summer gowns. The English coats of brilliant red broadcloth are extremely showy, also black cloth coats with vivid red sleeves, revers and turndown collar. JtJlues are enjoying a renewed popularity as a garniture for hats, and in combination with green they make a distinctly French color combination, A thin outside skirt of organdie, with an insignificant ruffle or two, is nothing when compared with the much betrimmed silk affair over which it is to be worn. Some of the batiste skirts are plain, others have a ruche or narrow ruffles of the same around the bottom, and these are often edged with narrow quillings of satin ribbons or laoe. Rawo nf now ATo rl Knr^n orV> jackets, of dark blue or Rreen cloth, are finished with very large gilt ancj rhinestone buttons, or those of jeweled rolled gold or cut steel with colored enamel centers. The favorite sleeve of the season combines a 6hort puff with mousquetaire fullness of the wrist. Although the severe coat sleeve is predicted for early fall, it has so far been seen only in conjunction with a few plain tailor gowns. Crepe de China 1b also much in demand and is 6een more often than any other one fabric. Its comparative cheapness brings it within reach of a greater number of admirers than are able to iudnlge in the more costly painted material. Black monsseline de soie, with a design in flowers painted at intervals over the surface, is a Parisian extravagance of the hour. Either black or colored glace silk makes the lining, but the former is preferred, as form 1UX (* uiuig pcucuo uaua^xuuu'Ji White tulle tied in a large bow in front is one of tbe popular decorations for the neck, and among the new collar bands arranged to wear with different dresses is one of white satin ribbon with a scalloped frill of ecru embroidery ruched on the edge with very narrow colored satin ribbon. A novelty for bonnets which is seasonable consists of building them entirely of dahlias?the double, oldfashioned variety. A number of different colored blossoms are chosen, but snch as blend harmoniouslv to gether, and the bads on their long stems are used as aigrettes on one or both sides, to relieve the flatness, jf ^Evening bodices are no longer round. Imported models have points front and back and are trimmed with a profusion of tulle around the lowcut neck, with sleeve composed entirely of the same diaphanous favorite. The prevailing style is not unlike a ballet dancer's skirt, being composed of frill on frill, falling over tho shoulder point. Belts of satin finished elastic in varying widths, sometimes quite an eigmn oi a yaru wiue, lira lasnifj me place of silk webbing belt6, the buckles used with them being of gold and silver in scroll, link find other designs. There are also fancy metal belts like armor, which are in gilt and silver, with fancy buckles. They are built on elastic and may be worn with comfort, besides being of a highly ornamental character. CYCLING COSTUME. |j ( NORFOLK JACKET AND SKIRT FOR WHEEL-WOMEN. 1 1 A Favorite Basque for Riding the Bicycle and for General WearStylish Ladles' Waist With Applied .Basque. 1 THE Norfolk basque is a favorite f garment for cycling, shop- i ping and general wear, as its f trim outlines are becoming to | all, and it looks comfortable andjDUsi- J ness-like. We here present one of its f simplest modes, made of greenish drab ^ /tftVAT*f wifVi vhif.A i pearl buttons, and finished with ma- 1 chine stitching in tailor style. The i basque is shaped with single bust darts, i under arm gores, and a curving oentre i seam in back. The plaits are gradua- ] ted at the waiet line, and applied on t baok and front with a single row of 1 A % NORFOLK JACKET AND 8] machine stitching near the edget, or I they can be blind stitched on if so ] preferred. The fronts are reversed at" the top to form coat lapels that meet y the rolling collar in notches, a chemi- t sette with bow tie being worn at the 1 neck. The sleeves, in gigot style, are t shaped with two seams, and are of i fashionable size., the wrists being finished with stitching to simulate cuffs, \ that are decorated near tho back seam I with three buttons. A narrow leather belt encircles the waist. The graceful skirt is specially designed for wheelwomen, its distinguishing features being an underlying box plait laid in the centre of front gore, the edges of which meet and are flatly pressed, so as to be hardly noticeable when standing and ft hen m onnted give ample room for the free aciioni ot tine limbs, and prevent the ugly girded appearance ao often seen. Two backward turning plaits at the back conceal the saddle gore in the centre that keeps the skirt in proper position. Placket openings on each side of front gore are finished by pointed overlaps and decorated with buttons. Suits in this style can be made from all kinds of cloth, tweed, cheviot, eerge, or cycle cloth, and worn with knickers and legging to match. The quantity of material required to make this basque for a lady having ' a 36-inch bust measure iB three yards. ' To make the okirt it will require 4* J yards of the same width material. OEGAXDEE WAIST WITH APPLIED BASQUE.

T TlTTV/^a Z31HH Transparent fabrics are a pronounced feature of thiB summer's styles, and, in consequence, the silk skirt lining is Df more importance than ever before. Very much of the style and beauty of i gown is given it by the choice of its lining, which supplies the dash of color qow needed in everything but mourning dress. Plain and dark silks are seldom. shosen for these linings, but instead charming combinations of color in stripes, chine, and changeable effects, which are really handsome enough for gowns themselves. However, for certain occasions?afternoon drives at summer resorts, garden-parties, day receptions, etc.?gowns of grenadine, 9triped and plain canvas, semi-transparent crepes, goat's-nair and etamine, are smarter than those of fancy silk.
