How the Fashions are Set.

-, tFrom the Chicago Tribune)
Miss Cora Pearl has been sued in
Paris, for bill of about 500. This
Is the lady who, at a bacchanalian
one night, took hat from one of ner
admirers and boasted that she could
transform it on the spot to ladies'
hat that would be the rage of all
Paris within month. A wager
was made, Cora Pearl punched the
hat in the side, pulled plume from
her hair, adjusted it to the hat in
hand, and next day appeared in the
Bots with the hat on her head. The
result was precisely what she had
predicted. Within week every
milliner in Paris had hats Of this pat
tern in window; within two weeks
no fashionable lady was complete
without one; within month the
lmpr0mptu had crossed the British
Channel and prevailed in London ;
the next steamer brought il to Amer
lea as the mode, and so it became the
rage on two continents. Mile. Cora
Pearl has now set new fashion
which has brought her into law
suit. Some time ago she hit upon
the brilliant idea Of having a cast
made Of her hand, and disposed of
terra.cotta fac SMILES to her numer-
Gus admirers. Her first order was
for twenty.four, and then orders fol-
lowed in rapid succession TO supply
the demand. The idea was not alto
gether original, for, when Liszt, the
great musician, was the fur0re of
Paris, great many years ago, in bis
youth, it was common to find cast
Of his right hand as the cherished
object ofhis lady adorers. Mile. Cora
Pearl seems to have attained an
equal devotion, though among the
other sex, and in different manner.
She, also, had hand carved in mar
bic, and a vase of elaborate pattern
in which a mould Of her hand and
another Of her bosom were features.
1t was for the cost Of these articles
that suit vas brought. She claimed
that the articles were ordered by,
and for the use of, young curras-
sier, who, FOR tho nonce, was playing
the part Of "protector." But the
young curassier had squandered all
his money, and the mercantile man
ufacturer Of hands and vases sued
Mademoiselle herself and obtained
judgment. As she is living 10 a
house valued at $4,000, the gift of
Prince Napoleon, it is thought there
will be no difficulty in collecting the
money.
These be the women who furnish
tho modes for the worlds fashiona-
bles, who invent novelties or popular
ize them, who bring out ladies' tail
ors and make their fortunes, and
whose follies and extravagances find
ready imitation all the world over.
Ii there is not certain degradation
in the thought on account of the po-
sition of the Cora Pearls, their imita-
tors must experience a feeling Of re-
pugnance when they learn that these
women are no logger even young
and pretty, bnt as old, ugly, and re-
pulsivo in their looks as in their
characters. There is q certain in
congruity about the whole situation
be accounted Tor At all because 81 is
the fashion,"

The Trade in Petroleum.

Hardly one man in hundred has any
idea OF the extraordinary trade in petro-
leum between this city and Europe, con-
stituting, as it does, at least one.third Of
our exports, and giving employment, in
all It's details, from its source in West
ern Pennsylvania and West Virginia, to
its final destination in the Old World,
to a small army of workmen. The les
son taught by this new article of neces-
sity is most suggestive. 1t is the only
great product that may be said to be ex-
ported f.om America in large quantities
in finished condition, and there is
scarcely any port in the world which is
not supplied with Pennsylvania or West
ern Virginia petroleum. Our petroleum
ships trade between eighty-three ports
ou both continents, and the growth of
Philadelphia as the Iavorito depot may
be estimated from the fact that whereas,
in 1868, there were shipped from New
York 19,674,897 gallons and from
Philadelphia 4,939, ,7OS gallons, in 1865
there we're shipped from New York A.
1893, 1886 gallons and from Philadelphia
l2,7l4,5S5 gallons. This proportion
must increase IN our favor in conse-
quence ofthe extraordinary preparations
Of Peter Wright & Sons to accom- modate
the trade at their gres. works and
wharves at the mouth OF the Schuylkill
in this city, and also from our direct
connection with the oil wells via the
Allegheny Valley and the Pennsylvania
RailIoad, and the fac, that we are one
hundred miles by rail nearer water than
New York. This oil is all shipped in a
refined and finished state, and is ready
tor use Immediately on its arrival in Eu-
rope. The extent Of the demand will
be realized by the number of ports to
which it is forwarded. Take the great
contrasting staple of cotton, which is
sent abroad in raw condition almost to
the English, French, aud German ports.
Suppose, like oil, cotton could be ex.
ported, as it ought to be, in manufac.
tured shape; suppose the Southern
country had as many cotton factories as
Western Pennsylvania and Western
Virg n have oil wells, is it not reason
able to predict that we should be the
rivals in many Of the markets of the
world with the British and French, and
that hundreds Of millions of dollars now
spent for foreign fabrics wonld he kept
at home? What moro powerful argu-
ment could BIS presented in favor of do.
nestle manufactures than this startling
contrast between finished oil an d unfn-
ished cotton?-T Forney's Press.
