When Minister Struve returned here the treaty was laid before him, and meeting his approval, he signal it, assumed its authorship and laid it before his Government for ratification. He clanned to have written it himself and gave no Creilit to Baron Rosen, the real author. The latter heard of it and made complaint to the Russian Government. The friends of Baron Rosen say that Minister Struve would have been recalled for this had he not gone to St. Petersburg and implored his retention.

Boston, according to the Chicago Tribune: sorrespondent, has declared itself in favor of dress reform-not for women, but for men's Eight years ago it became the fashion to cultivate extreme simplicity in masculine attire Gold shirt-studs were eschewed in favor of costly imitation mother-of-pearl, and even watch chains ST. ANDREW'S were not worn with "evening dress. Evander Berry Wall-not at that time recognized as the king of dudes, though already considered a chosen exponent of good taste in dress-was criticised for appearing at one of the Philadephia as, cumblies with a single opiloflarge dimensions for a shirt-button. But now all this is changed. The tendency at present is in the direction of the ornamental, and the swell young men of Boston are searching the haberdashers' shops that word is english, you know-for gorgeous novelties in the way of linen and neckware.

Down at Nahant, this summer, the beaus all ware broad sashes of bright colored silk about their waists. Next season this picturesque mode is to be adapted at every summer resort in the East. In the matter of shirts, however, the change in Kyle is most interestingly perceptible. The white shirt is no longer en regle. It must be colored, usually in stripes-with a collar of snowy lines. The very latest-just imported--has three entors, dark red, light pink and blue, running vertically in stripes about one inch in width, colored offs attached and white coll ir.. Another is of white.pique-moing horizontally-and be. tween 'each two ribs of the pique. harrow thread of vari-colored silk, The favorite shirt of the most distinguished Boston dude is cream colored, with salmon-hued polka dots of silk. Another kid is made of light rose pique, with tile clots of white silk floss sprinkled through it. A short time ago shirts with stripes an inch and a half broad, of bright strawberry and light blue, were regarded as the correct thing and could only be obtained to order at fabulous bought them out ready male at $1.19 a piece, xpense, but the cheap-furnishing-good shops and the trade in them was killed.

A shirt that is worn a great deal by swell men in Boston has three barrow lines of black, running close together across the bosom at. trvals of four inches. Dress shirts must open in front--as do all shirts' nowadays-and must five a narrow strip al embroidery running down the mid'e alge. The embroidery is done by hand and is very fine. Such shirts cost $7 apiece. Fale green pique shirts are exceedingly swell and cost to a dezen. Some of them have large white fures worked in.

is not done at present. Year after year the bird stores of life, for that is really what they should be called, are being brought in greater and greater quantities to the surface, and used to supply the human race with much more than the necessities of life. In two States of the Union alone one kind of accumulated earth life, the petroleum and natural gas, store, has been so rapidly used up that within one generation alone ssores which were millions of years accumulating will have been almost wholly exhausted. In Great Britain 150,000,000 tons of coal are yearly brought to the pt's mouth, though it has become clear that the effective supply will be exhausted at the present rate of consumption in the course of 10 or 12 generations at the outside. The forests of the earth-at any rate, in all civilised countries ——are-being-steadily-destroyed, though-it-would be quite possible so to arrange matters that the supply used each year should be replaced by spendthrift, the human race of to-day, boasting new-growth during the same time. Elke a itself "the heir of all the ages is consuming at a rate fully one hundredfold in intelligence, beyond what is just the supplies which, as heir of all the geological recons, it has received-in irust partly for future generations. That men should rejoice when statistical records attest the steady growth of all civilised nations in popul ation, at the very time that the stores of the the father of a growing family should rejoice at -earth are being wastefully consumed, is as though- each addition, to his family circle at the very time when each year's accounts told him that his means of providing for them were rapidly growing less, and exhaustion was imminently threatened. I have occasion often, as a student of astronomy, to touch on the gradual dying out of the earth's vitality, and to descant on the limited nature of the sun's supply of life- giving energy. I remind my audiences in lectures, and my readers in boolas and essays, that as the moon has died so must the earth hereafter die; and that as among the stam (those other auns than THE-SCOTTISH-ORIENTAL-STEAMSHIP ours) we find suns that are manifestly fading in lustre, and even evidence of orbs which, though once lustrous, are now dark and dead, so must gur sun and with them his power of sustaining life in one day lase his light and eat, the worlds circling around him. But I doubt whether the inhabitants of our world need be very much interested in the future darkness of the sun or in the coming decay and death of the earth. The human race is taking excellent care that its duration shall not extend to either of those dismal times (whichever of them may be. the first to come), Millions of years probably. before the sun is dark, millions of years before our earth is dead, the civilised human race will have exhausted all that it has to live on, and CHINA will have come to an and through sheer inani- tion. No discovery of new scientific appliances can avail to save our kind from this end, seeing that every such discovery would inevitably lead only to the more rapid exhaustion of the earth's garnered stores.
