Basin«M Men Reaping a Golden Harvest From the Soldiers on Pay Day—Picturesque Feature* of Military and Civilian

Life on Pienie Island.

[Special Correspondence.]

POKT TAMPA, Fla., July 18.—The commercial spirit has taken possession of this little town, and, patriotic though the inhabitants may be in the main, the majority seem to regard the soldiers as their legitimate prey. It is the same in Tampa, eight miles distant, and between the two places on the last pay day it is estimated that over $150,000 was spent by the soldiers. At every camp many rough boarded refreshment stands have been erected, and in the town itself every available space has been nsed to provide the thirsty soldiers with cooling drinks.

The military are of course in evidence everywhere. The beaches are simply covered with tents, besides wagons and other conveyances necessary for the em-

barkation of troops, which is to take place as soon as tho transports arrive. Fortunately for the comfort of the soldiers in this torrid weather, the officers allow them great license in the matter of uniforms, and they are frequently to be met divested of thoir coats, with shirt hioov08 rolled up. Yesterday I saw the Sixty-ninth New York while on one of its long semiweekly marches. They wore slouch hats, but no coats, and had their sleevos rolled up to the elbow.

Today a draft of 202 men from tho receiving ship Vermont at BrSoklyn arrived at the port. Many of the men had provided themselves with flags and wore loudly oheered as they stepped from the train. In a conversation with a noncommissioned officer, who was one of the draft, ho said they had all been woll treated since leaving tho Vermont and had been fed at first class hotels all tho way to Port Tampa. They remained here only a short time and left on tho raailboat Mascot for Key West, where they would await the arrival of the transport ships.

Tho weather here is intensely hot, but notwithstanding the incessant drills and trequent marches boueath a burning sun the soldiers and officers appear to find lifo tolerable. Tho younger soldiers, whose experience of warfare is limited to drills, when not on duty soem as unconccrucd as if the business of soldiering in wartimes had not the remotest connection with scenes of dangor and bloodshed. With tho veterans it is difforent, a fact that may bo either Attributed to tho sobering effect of years or to tlvoip experimental knowledge of what war really is. Even the fighting and loss of life at Santiago seemingly have only stimulated tiyi ardor of the troops, and they all appear to be animated by one wish—to take pa tin tho fray and fight for their couu ,ry, whntever tho consequences may be to themselves personally.

So far as the officers are concerned, if appearances count for anything, they find lifo pleasant hero and at Tampa. At tho headquarters hotels at both places gayly uniformed officers and beautiful women may be seen amusing themselves on the hotel verandas during tho long balmy evenings of this subtropical cliiuatv. Sometimes they dance, aud tho soft strains of a waltz or tho more sympathetic notes of a female voice in song sound like a sweet undertone above 'he din that is ever audible night or day at this crowded rendezvous of our oitisteu soldiers.

Doubtless to the minds of both officers and men visions conflicts loom through the perspecti of futurity. They probably realize, too, that Cuban •oil may bo saturated with their blood and a burial placo assigned to them far from their homes and those that they love. But though all this is vory probable they give no sign of gloomy reflections or foreboding fears, but, like brave men. as they are, enjoy tho present and do uot permit prospective events, however dtvrriful, to cloud their demeanors or dampen their joys.

Last evening I wont over to Picnic island, where there are a number of military campa The soldiers were enjoying themselves in strolling along the pleasant sandy beach or loitering unconcernedly amid the trees. A cool refreshing breeae blew from the sea and thousands of the military and residents of Port Tampa enjoyed themselves, apparently oblivious of the existence of

FALL FASHIONS.

Black Goods Will Be Plentiful and la Great Variety. {Special Correspondence.]

NEW YOEK, July 18.—Some time ago I mentioned the dainty lawn snnbonnets that were to be offered to lovely tennis players and summer girls generally. Now an immense window in one of our largest dry goods honses has hundreds of these pretty creations. They are regular poke sun bonnet shape, made of sheer mull formed over milliners' wires and reeds. They are shirred as to the front and have full crowns and cunning little capes, just as of olden times. Ribbon strings "tie the dimples in" under the chin. There are pure white with full ruchings around the front and sometimes there are pink roses or some other delicately tinted flowers set just under the brim. There are others in pink, blue, green, lilac, yellow and light brown and also lavender. Each is in the one color with no other one on it, except where a few flowers are added. Pale blue with pink roses has a very Frenchy look.

These dainty bonnets cost quite high, but any clever lady can make one herself if she can get a pattern, and nearly all the best pattern stores furnish patterns. These were brought to notice more by the numbers than by the fact One would scarcely notice one among many other kinds of headwear, but when so many are brought together they compel respectful attention. They look altogether like the pretty bonnet worn by Lillian Russell when she made her first success in "Patience." Her mother, Mrs. Cynthia Leonard, made that dainty little sun bonnet, and in fact seven-eighths of the gowns and millinery worn by the beautiful prima donna have been designed if not entirely made by Mrs. Leonard, who is no mean artist. These cunning little sunbonnets will be a real rage all summer.

The polichinelle hat for every day is very popular, and the sailor unusually so. This last is capable of so much variety in the way of trimming. Wings, plain bands, draperies, feathers, sashes and quills are all used, and on some are wreaths of bluets or other rich toned flowers. The sailor hat also often carries the anchors and even the name of a ship, so that every one may find or have what she likea Split straw made very stiff are the best liked for all ordinary wear, but the jumbo straw braid is considered more dressy, though so rough. I saw a large fine white leghorn hat for a little girl. I think there must have been at least three yards of white silk mull twisted into a drapery and bows, and there were three monstrous white ofetrich plumes. The hat was arranged to tip down at the right sida On the left side under the brim was a

half wreath of blush roses without foliage. The little wearer had a white ohina silk frock made low on the pearly shoulders, with a double rnflle of the same around the neck. A pale blush pink ribbon sash eight inches wide reached around the waist and tied in front almost up to the neck. It was exquisitely quaint, the whole effect

Many children this season are wearing their frocks cut low on the neck and shoulders and their dimpled arms aro left bare. There is also a move to leave their chubby legs bare save for short socks, but this does not find very much favor among American mothers.

A tour among the importing houses shows that ere pons of many new weaves aro there in great abundance. Some of the crepon is of the old billowy rolls, others of other weaves which sag so when worn a couple of times that the skirt has to be made over half a dozen times to keep it hanging right Some, however, are woven with a solid background and raised figures over it This cannot lose its form. Some is in "blisters" and others raised like quilting, others again having figures like fine pebbles on a sandy beach. There are many crossed goods done with heavy silk cords cm a smooth surface, and many plaids wrought in the same way, simply by heavy stripes all in one color, generally black. Black goods are shown in more varieties than ever before, all of them rich and beautiful.

The blouse dies hard and will doubtless last till the fall jackets and tight basques get their innings. But the Spanish flounce will be with us in tailor gowns all winter. The suits now in course of construction show this. The overskirt is a fixed fact. Thick braid partly wool and partly metal will be used on tailor gowns to a groat extent, and fine gold braid likewise.

IHffica.* to Inflict Pain.

The doctor smoked slowly on his cigar. It was plain that he had something to say. "I was thinking of my early college days," he said, "and of a peculiar incident that happened very soon after I began my studies. The professor was instructing the class one day on the corpuscles of the blood. In order to get some fresh blood for microscopical examination each student was ordered to tie a rag around his forefinger and strike the top of the finger suddenly with a needle with sufficient force to draw blood. Seems easy, doesn't it? Do you know there wasn't a man in the class that did it at the first attempt. It was funny to watch some of those embryo surgeons poise the needle with a determined air and launch it to within a hair space of the flesh and there stop dead. Others tried to force the needle in slowly, but paused very shortly, with an expression of pain commensurate to that of an amputation. I myself gave it np as a bad job. and hacked a cavity in my thumb with a penknife, and found it easier. "The fact that we were very young and inexperienced is no explanation for this peculiarity, as I have since found by personal test Almost everybody exhibited the same repugnance to inflicting pain in that manner. Try it yourself.

The other man tried and succeeded on the fourth trial.—New York Sun.

Art of Making a Mustard Plaster.

To put on a mustard plaster is not at all difficult, but to do it in the best way requires some care and skill. In the first place, remember never to give a cold mustard plaster to a patient. To a weak or sensitive person the shock is often great. Either mix with very hot water, or, better still, have a plate put where it can get warm while you are mixing. Having everything ready at hand, mustard, flour and a spoonful oi molasses, with a bit of old muslin oi linen—an old handkerchief is the best thing for the purpose. Stir the mustard and flour together first, making the plaster stronger or weaker with mus tard as you have been directed. Add the molasses and then the water until the smooth mass is about as thick as porridge or poultice. Spread your cloth on the warm plate, using the middle portion of the linen and leaving a margin on all sides, which is to be folded back at the edges. Put a second cloth over the whole, so that the mustard if entirely hid between the twooovers and keep on the plate until it is necessary to apply the plaster.—Philadelphia Ledger.

Value of Toes In Walking.

The idea that the lesser toes are necessary in walking is generally entertained, and it has been a surprise to European physicians to learn that amputation of all the lesser toes of both feet has been followed by complete recovery and the restoration to usefulness of both the feet operated upon. The feet healed slowly after the operation, but very steadily and without unpleasant complications. The operation was performed, and in a little more than a year and a half the patient danced all night and experienced no inconvenience whatever on account of having only one toe on each foot She rides a wheel, plays tennis and enjoys every sport that girls of hex age are fond of. The cause of the trouble was originally chilblains, which was neglected until it produced contraction of the muscles with the most intense pain, which was at times so severe that she could not enjoy the necessary amount of sleep. Surgeons are of the opinion that a great deal of need less suffering is endured which might be relieved by extremely simple opera tions on the feet.—New York Ledger.

Dodging a Shot.

When Dewey was first lieutenant of one of the gunboats which Farragut used as a dispatch boat the admiral nsed often to come aboard and steam up near the levee to recounoiter. The southerners' had away of rushing a field piece to the top of the high bank, firing point blank at the gunboat and then backing down again. Upou one such occasion Farragut saw Dewey dodge a shot. "Why don't you stand firm, lieutenant?" said he. "Don't you know you can't jump quick enough?"

A day or so after the admiral dodged a shot. The lieutenant smiled and held his tongue, but the admiral bad a guilty conscience. He cleared his throat once or twice, shifted his attitude and finally declared: "Why, sir. yon can't help it, sir. It'« human nature, and there's an end tc it" VC

:An Unexplained Point.

Peter Lombard points amoral in the English Church Times with this story: "Mrs. Proudie, the excellent wife of the bishop of Copeminster, down in the midlands, does admirable work by going among the poor people and talking to them out of her own experiences and giving them wholesome advice. She did so the other day at Mudbury, near Copeminster. Next day the rector's daughter at Mudbury said to one of the audience of the previous evening, 'Well, Mrs. Toddle, what did you think of Mrs. Proudie's address?' 'Oh, it was very good but, you see, she only went half way.' 'Whatever do you mean, Mrs. Toddle?' said the young woman. Well, miss, she didn't tell us what she does when Mr. Proudie comes home drunk. We should like a little advice on that 'ere point.'

He Wasn't Left.

Biggs—Quite a rivalry between Tom and Fred. Griggs—Yes, I understand they are both seeking the hand of Miss Triffett.

Biggs—They both called at her house the other evening and at once began the exciting game of trying to outsit each other. Tom had to give it up finally and left Fred in possession.

Griggs—So Fred got the best of it? Biggs—That's the question. It was a rainy night, and Tom did not take away the poorest umbrella when he left the house.—Boston Transcript

Clever?

Mrs. Peccer—Did you see that? Dixon sc V.ed that rocking chair and was into *»t before his wife had a chance to reach it And on his wedding trip too

Mr. Petter—That's just it There's where Dixon is smart. Nobody will suspect that he is on his wedding tour, don't you see? And besides, he gets the chair.—Boston Transcript.
