Parisian actresses go to a very great extreme in the way of costume. Many of them have to receive immense salaries simply on account of the length of their dressmakers' bills. The sum of $6,000, which Mlle. Marie Magnier, of the Theater Gymnase, Paris, receives annually, is insufficient. Her toiletts alone cost nearly $5,000 a year. In Halevy's comedy, "L'Abbe Constantin," she wore a beautiful dress of exceedingly delicate white lace and gold, costing $1,500. Mlle. Jeanne Granier receives $100 a night to play "La Fille a Cacolet" at the Varieties. Nearly two-thirds of her salary goes in dress. The dresses which Mme. Doche wore in the title role of "La Dame aux Camellias" cost $300. The costumes now IN THE EVENT OF WAR. FIGHTING STRENGTH OF THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT — ITS FORMIDABLE NAVAL POWER. In view of the present complications between this country and Italy, a glance at the armament of the latter power will be found interesting. The regular army of Italy, according to latest available statistics, consists of 255,-438 men. On a war footing, this can at once be raised to the enormous number of 2,765,-373 men. The annual cost of this army is about $55,000,000, or $180 per head of population. The American army seems very small in comparison, consisting of 25,000 men on a peace footing, or 106,500 men, including the National Guard. As we have already seen this country can summon a powerful army to the defense of the flag within a very short time. The cost of the American army, per capita of population, is 73 cents, which, in comparison with that of Italy, is very high. As a naval power, Italy takes third rank among the nations of the world, and for the highest types of vessels it can show the equal of any that England has put into the water. Late statistics credit the Italian navy with 122 vessels, exclusive of torpedo boats. This, however, includes transports, school ships, dispatch boats, etc. The vessels are manned by 12,748 men and maintained at an annual cost of $23,932,000. The United States had, at a recent date, almost as many vessels as Italy—including everything except torpedo boats—there being 109, manned by 12,114 men. The annual cost of our navy is over $25,-000,000, or more than that of Italy. When it comes to the question of armament, however, there is no comparison whatever. It is only within the past two or three years that we have launched a few vessels that could cope, on an equal footing, with the second-class vessels of the Italian navy.

FRED CRIST A bride of next month is having her wedding gown made of some interesting and valuable heirlooms, portions of which have composed parts of the wedding gowns of her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. The under part of the gown is to be made of satin, over which are to be draped two lace shawls of full size, a flounce which will entirely surround the skirt, and there are as many yards of lace to match as will elaborately trim the corsage. The lace veil worn by the grandmother is to put the finishing touch to this toilet, and as the bride is a large and striking looking girl, she will be able to wear with good effect such a rich gown—New York World. Advance of Woman's Education. In education women have achieved brilliant successes at the London university, and Newnham and Girton have lengthy muster rolls, in which one of the most recent laurel crown names is that of the daughter of the famous Henry Fawcett. In medicine, despite many cruel rebuffs, women have now honors, and are carrying them even into our Asiatic dominions, and maintaining there with dignity and high repute the successful practice of the healing art. In literature and philosophy the array of front rank names is large and ever growing.—London Cor. Boston Transcript. New York girls, not to be outdone by their English rivals, have an extremely good "ladies' eleven" of their own, who play an excellent game of cricket in the privacy of the Berkeley Oval. The athletic young women of Gotham are added to hockey also, as well as Badminton, quoits and archery, while their capacity for tennis is illustrated by such habitual victors as Miss Helen Read, Miss Marion Read, Miss Mellin, and Mrs. Salisbury. A Parisian fad is the wearing of top boots by society belles when driving in phaetons or other high seated carriages. The boots are made of the softest possible patent leather, or else of morocco with kid tops, which are richly embroidered in silks. They have either high or low heels, and the fashion was brought from Spain into France, whence it will doubtless extend into this country. The United States had, at a recent date, almost as many vessels afloat as Italy—including everything except torpedo boats—the being 109 men by 12,114 men. The annual cost of our navy is over $25,-000,000, or more than that of Italy. When it comes to the question of armament, however, there is no comparison whatever. It is only within the past two or three years that we have launched a few vessels that could cope, on an equal footing, with the second-class vessels of the Italian navy. The following further particulars in regard to the Italian fleet are from the San Francisco Examiner: The Italia and the Lepanto stood from 1883 till recently as the largest warships alloy, and now are surpassed only slightly by three English ships, and to-day the Italian navy carries more guns of eighty tons and over than that of any other nation. The Italia and Lepanto are of 13,700 tons displacement, 400 feet long, 74 feet broad, with a draught of more than 30 feet, and make 16 to 17 knots. They are armed each with four 100 ton breech-loading rifles, with a breadside battery of seven six inch guns in one and nine in the other; beside a number of lighter guns. The 100-pound guns are mounted in a central citadel armored with 52 inches of steel. They will carry a 9,000-cubic projectile, and will perforate 28 inches of wrought iron at a distance of 1,000 yards. The Re Umberto, the Sicilia and the Sardegua are of the same general type as the Italia. The Re Umberto, launched in 1888, is of 13,289 tons displacement and for her main battery has four 104-ton gunnars barbettes of 19-inch inclined compound armor. The secondary battery is of twelve 6-inch guns, six 3-inch guns and ten machine and quick-firing guns and torpedo tubes. The engines are of 19,500 horse power and give a maximum speed of eighteen knots. The Sicilia and the Sardegua are of practically the same description as the Re Umberto. The second rank of Italy's first-class battle-ships consists of the Dapola, Duilio, Krugiero di Sania, Andrea Doria and Francesco Moresini. The Duillo and the Dandolo have 22-inch armor on the citadel. The others have 18 inch plates. They are of a little over 10,000 tons displacement, have a speed of 14 to 15 knots and are armed with 100-ton guns. Besides these, Italy has some of the finest cruisers afloat. The Giovanna Bausan is modeled after the celebrated Chilean Esmeralda, but is more powerful. She was built in England in 1885. She is 276 feet long, 42 feet broad with a draught 10 feet 6 inches, 3,000 tons displacement and makes seventeen knots. She is armed with two 10-inch breech loaders forward and at right six-6-inch breech loaders on broadside. It will be seen that she is a smaller and slower vessel than the Charleston, but more heavily armed. The swiftest cruiser yet built was added to the Italian fleet in 1889—the Piemonte, of 300 feet length and 2,500 tons draught. She made 204 knots mean speed on her trial and 22.3 maximum speed. She is armed with six rapid-five 6-inch guns; six of 4.75 inch caliber; ten six-pounders and six one-pounder Hotchkiss guns. She can by her superior make of guns, fire double the weight of metal in a given time that could be fired by the largest warship afloat. This is the type of navy that could be sent against us by Italy. The Piemonte could catch or run away from any ship we have afloat. We have nothing to compare with the Italia and the four big sister ships of her class. The three big 10-000-ton battleships, for which contracts were let last fall, might cope on even terms with the Italian ships, but they have not had their keels laid.

For stomach worms in a child, mix one teaspoonful of powdered sage in two tablespoonfuls of molasses, and give a teaspoonful every morning. A drawback to the efficiency of these big warships is the fact that they are heavily overarmed and that they would be disabled by a few rounds of their own fire. The Giovanni Bauanan, for instance, 750 tons smaller than the Charleston, has fored and aft ten-inch guns. The San Francisco's largest gun is a six-inch. The Montrey was planned to have one sixteen-inch 110 ton gun on the forward batbette and a twelve-inch aft. This has been changed to two twelve-inch forward and a ten-inch aft; the two forward guns weighing about as much as the one gun that they displace. Charles Cramp, the head of the great Philadelphia ship building firm, says that New York is in no danger from Italian ironclads. "They'll never come over here," he said confidently. "In the first place they can't carry enough coal to make such a voyage safe and they could find no place here to recoal." Their great draught would make it impossible for them to do much damage on this side. They are not familiar with our coast and would be in constant danger of grounding the moment they came near the coast. They carry very heavy guns, but except for fires on a city these guns are not effective at much over a mile, and the new cruisers recently constructed could be very effective by circling about the monsters, peeping at them with long-range rifle cannon and drawing them into allow water. If a shot from one of the ironclads struck one of our cruisers it would of course do considerable damage, but except if chance it is doubtful if at any such distance any gunner in the Italian fleet could hit such a small object as a vessel, going at the rate of fifteen to twenty knots an hour. Shallow water and the great draught of the ironclads would NIT OF WAR.

The following is Secretary Blaine's letter in reply to the "demands" of the Italian Government: I beg to express the sincere regret with which the Government of the United States receives the intelligence of Baron Fava's speedy departure from this Capital. Though he has more than once intimated this purpose, the Government of the United States has been unable to see adequate reasons for such a step. The Baron's service here for the past ten years has been distinguished at all times by the most agreeable relations with the Executive Department of the Government. The regret at his leaving is enhanced when, as the President believes, he has been recalled under a misapprehension of the facts by the Government of Italy. The cause of his surrender his diplomatic relations with this Government is thus given in his note: "The reparation demanded by the Government of the King, as I had the honor to inform you in our interviews held during the last few days, was to consist of the following points: (1) Official assurance by the Federal Government that the guilty parties should be brought to justice; (2) recognition in principle that an indemnity is due to the relatives of the victims." The first demand thus stated by Baron Fava is slightly changed in phrase from that employed by him in his many verbal requests based on a telegram from the Marquis Rudini, which he left me. Marquis Rudini declared that Italy's right to demand and to obtain the punishment of the murderers and indemnity for the victims is unquestionable." It is inferred that Baron Fava's change of phrase meant no change of demand. I have endeavored to impress upon him in several personal interviews with which he has honored me that the Government of the United States is utterly unable to give the assur- statistical sketch of the past ten years. The tramp on the dusty highway, the clerk in the counting-house, the sportsman upon the moor, the traveler on the railroad, all will be simultaneously made to stand and be counted. Unless, like the Irishman's swallow, one can be in two places at once, down will go each name in the recording tablets. All preparations for this stupendous work are completed. Blanks are ready to be distributed and the United Kingdom has been divided up into 40,000 districts. It is estimated that the total cost of the work will be less than $700,900, while for the same work in America nearly $7,000,000 were appropriated by Congress. An American tabulating machine will be used to obtain the totals. The census will be intrusted by the Home Secretary, Mr. Matthews, to persons in authority in different part of the United Kingdom. In England and Scotland the duty will devolve upon the English and Scottish Registrars-General, in Ireland to the royal commission presided over by the Irish Registrar-General, and in the islands — which consists of two groups, the Isle of Man, in the Irish sea, and the Channel islands, Jersey, Guernsey, Aldermore, Horon, Sark, Jethon and Breech — the enumeration will be made under the superintendence of their respective Lieutenant-Governors, according to the instructions issued by the Registrar-General of England. More New Laws. Gov. Markham has appended his signature to the following bill left in his hands at the close of the legislative session: Providing for the semi-annual payment of taxes; the County Government Bill; enabling heirs to hold estates intact and to mortgage or lease them; for the formation and governing of building and loan associations; amending the laws for the organization of incorporations and government of municipal corporations; providing that a husband cannot make a gift of community property or convey the same without a valuable consideration until the wife in writing assents; providing for sanitary districts in any part of the State; providing for the ex- should be brought to justice; (2) recognition in principle that an indemnity is due to the relatives of the victims." The first demand thus stated by Baron Fava is slightly changed in phrase from that employed by him in his many verbal requests based on a telegram from the Marquis Rudini, which he left me. Marquis Rudini declared that Italy's right to demand and to obtain the punishment of the murderers and indemnity for the victims is unquestionable. It is inferred that Baron Fava's change of phrasement no change of demand. I have endeavored to impress upon him in several personal interviews with which he has honored me that the Government of the United States is utterly unable to give the assurance which the Marquis Rudini has demanded. Even if the National Government had entire jurisdiction over the alleged murders it could not give assurance to any foreign power that they should be punished. The President is unable to see how any Government could justly give an assurance of this character in advance of a trial and verdict of "guilty." In the Constitution of the United States it is declared that "in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right of a speedy and a public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed." If needs no argument to prove that a jury could not be impartial if it were in any sense or to any degree bound before the trial of the accused by the assurance which the President of the United States had ventured to give a foreign power. In the Constitution of the State of Louisiana, under whose immediate jurisdiction the crimes were committed, substantially the same provision is found, so the Governor of that State would be as unable to give a pledge in advance for the result of the trial under the State law as the President would be were it practicable to try the leaders of the mob under the law of the United States. In Baron's Fava's second point he demands recognition, in principle, that indemnity is due to the relatives of the victims. He is assuredly under a grave error when he declares that the United States Government declined to take this demand into consideration, and I shall regret if he has communicated such a conclusion to your Government. The United States, so far from refusing, has distinctly recognized the principle of indemnity to those Italian subjects who may have been wronged by the violation of the rights secured to them under the treaty with the United States of February 26, 1871. I have repeatedly given to Baron Fava the assurance that, under the direction of the President, all the facts and incidents connected with the unhappied tragedy at New Orleans on the 14th of March last should be most thoroughly investigated. I have also informed him that in a matter of such gravity the Government of the United States would not permit itself to be unduly hurried, nor will it make answer to any demand until every fact essential to correct judgment shall have been fully ascertained through legal authority. The imposition of the aggrieved may be natural, but its indulgence does not always secure the most substantial justice. JAMES G. BLAINE Rent Estate Transfer.

Once in every ten years John Bull performs a wonderful feat. It is the taking of the census of the United Kingdom, and it is accomplished with a rapidity that challenges even the admiration of the shrewd hustler from America. The method of taking the census possesses great interest for the people of the United States, as slow and unsatisfactory methods of enumerating the American people. On Sunday night, April 25th, the Britaius will pass through the turnstile of their tenth decennial classification. The next morning the record will be made up. On the evening of the same day it will be delivered to Somerset House to be assorted and labeled, and all this work will be effected with the marvelous perfection of the organization by which Great Britain is made to stand still for a minute and be photographed. So consummate is the skill with which was planned this all-embracing machinery that at one and the same moment all over the United Kingdom a recording pen will catch and set down every man's status.
