How to Alight From a Carriage.
Not one woman in ten knows how to gi-t
owt of a carriage or cab prettily. Here Is
the way: First your hosiery must lie Just
right, the black silken web fitting Snugly
*nd without wrinkles nltout the.ankle, and,
the shoe must be trim and pretty. Orasp
the dresa tightly at about the knee, stand
steadily on the right fi«'t. Point the left
foot aharply, bend the Wfc knee, ,letting the
weight of the body steadily down thus to
ward the afreet level, the prettily pointed
toe and trim ankle being daintily In evl-
deree. Directly the left foot touches the
ground let It take the weight of the body
with a pretty springiness. All the beauly D
of the move depends on the ste’ady lower
ing of the body on the right foot and the
pretty pointing of the left foot. If you
need steadying, you may grasp the Inside
of the carriage with th(j hand nearest. The
usual way of aMghtIng from the carriage-
Is to extend a flat foot and come down on
It, while the grip on the^shte of the car
riage la ao tight that the whole body Is
swung around awkwardly. Wiitoh the
women, and see, even those with prefty
feet, and this, too, when there Is renlly no
time at which a woman’s feet, trim anklfit
and pretty carriage of herself may be more
charmingly shown and more legitimately
than when she Is alighting In fqi'’ view
of the passing world.—St. Louis Republic.

which led up to the recent demonstra

in .defence of American shipping, which
had been subjected for a long time to

obtained: • .
So long ns 'Admiral de Mello waa in
charge of tlu* insurg at vessels in Uio
Bay at the head of .the revolutionary
movement, no blockade was permitted
■fin -this harbor. Vessels of foreign na
tions were permitted freely to enter the
bay, discharge there cargoes at the
wharves, reload a*lW quietly depart.
When Admiral de Gama, after issuing
his proniiueiamento against Peixoto, de
serted the Government, joined De Mello
and issued hi# famous imperial man
ifesto, he declared with a great deal
of emphasis that he meant from that
time forth to stop all commerce with
Ivio ill* Janeiro, hik! l>y tliiw i
ticnlly destroy the revenue which the
Brazilian Government was receiving
from this source. England, he an
nounced, as if on the author
ity of the British officials, was anxious ^
for the restoration of the monarchy
throughout Brazil, and the overthrow
of reciprocity. W ith this power back
ing him. he appeared to think that he
was fully warranted in his autocratic
action. Following close upon this
declaration, he issued a warning to all
vessels, no matter to what nation' they
belonged, that they must not sttempt to
discharge their cargoes, or they would
rue it. Following this example, set by
"their superior officer, the Insurgent Rad

American warships here, ami , asked

ford protection to all American vessels.

Picking Was Reserved.
Beyond this Commander Picking
seemed unwilling to go, and Minister
Thompaofi was thus rendered powerless
to dc anything more for the protection
of American shipping. Now eveiyfhlng
is changed, owing to- the determined ac
tion of Admiral Bonham, who ha# as
sured the capt’ains of American vessels
that he will protect their ships and sail
ors. so far as he is aide to do so. At
the same time, however, he has warned
these captains that be cannot prevent
them from running the risk of chance
shots at the wharves." It to impossible
to discharge cargoes vlsewhere. 'All the
tugs used in towing the vesdc’.s are
owned by Brazilians, and Admiral da
Gama threatens to promptly seize them
if they tow lighters which are dis
charging. Admiral Benbam thinks that
the risk at the wharves is slight, but h©
refuses at present to advise American
captains how they should act. He is
determined, however, to afford them all
the protection he can.
