Newest Fashion Freaks.

La Boiteuse (the cripple) is the name
| the French modistes have given an over
| skirt that is one-sided, or made 10 look 80
| by being draped higher on the right side
| than on the left. The over-skirt that
| finds most favor here are those that have
very deep aprons, reaching quite to the
| foot Of the skirt beneath. These aprons
are now very much trimmed, and the
most popular one of all has large upright
| folds that meet in the middle of the
apron, are held there by bows, and the
| folds then slope up the side and are lost
in the drapery Of the back.
The front of costumes is the objective
point for the trimming this season.
Parisiennes have been abandoned tour
nures and all bouhant effects, and the
rarniture is now massed in front or on
the sides. Jabots, folds, bows, tabliers
and pockets trim the front and sides
abundantly, yet the fashion OF tying the
skirt back remains, and thus the tullness
is massed behind.
Sleeves are also very much trimmed
this season. There is less stirring and
putting upon them, but there Is a fancy
for rows of horizontal folds, for irregular
plaits across the whole front of the
sleeve, and for deep cuffs that trim the
sleeve to the elbow.
Notwithstanding fringe in laces are 20
Iavishly used, there is fine style found
in the untrimmed garments that makes
them popular. There are ovcrskirts and
polonaises of the richest frabics that are
merely hemmed or faced, and thus the
purchaser can afford to invest more
money in the material of her suit.
Muffs are made to match the new cos
tunes. Dresses of brocaded velvet and
silk have muhs of the velvet ornamented
with small bouquets of flowers. Feather
mufs. exceedingly light, small and warm,
are also shown to match the feather Dor
hers of costumes. Wide ruchesare made
of feathers that are stripped from the
stems, and sewcd on straight instead OF
being curled. There is then muif To
match These muils are very handsome
in natural gray ostrich feathers, in
marabout, and i'm the dark green cocks
feathers.
Ofall garments that have grown longer
cloaks show the most decided increase IN
length The long pelisses and basquines,
nearly fitted to the figure, arc revived for
cloth cloaks, while long French sacques
with loose backs are used for those of
silk that are lined win our. Dolhlaila
are also longer, and have ample sleeves
from the elbows TO the wrist. There are
other new wraps that resemble the double
capes Of two years ago, but which have
the fronts turned up to form sleeves.
New Jackets of figured cameps hair have
closed sleeves with outside page sleeves
hanging long and square, and showing
lining of velvet.
New wedding dresses are of soft. lustre-
less faille, trimmed with gallon of whit
tulle, wrought with pearls, and also with
picot crepelissee, that is scallopped and
finished with narrow "purl cdging"
braid. These dresses have square court
trains, elaborate tablers, and cuirass
basques. The flowers are white crushed
roses and eglantine. Fichus. and scarf
sashes are on other wedding dresses, and
ON the tulle dresses of bridesmaids.

When in late summer the streams turn yellow,
Burst the bridges and spread into bays
When berries are black and peaches are mellow,
And hills are hidden by rainy haze.
When the golden rod is golden still,
But the heart of the sunfower is browner and
sadder;
When the is in stacks on the slope or the hill
And over the path slides the striped adder.
When butterflies futter from clover to thicket,
Or wave their wings on the dropping leaf,
When the breeze comes shrill with the call of the
cricket
Grasshopper's rasp, and rustic of sheaf
When high in the field the fern leaves wrinkle
And brown is the grass where the mowers have
mOwn,
When low III the meadow the cow-bells tinkle,
And brooklets crinkle Ger stock and stone.
When heavy and hollow the robins whistle,
And thick lies the shade in the heat of noon;
When the air is white with the down O. the thistle
And the sky is red with the harvest moon.
Oh, then, be chary, young Robert and and Mary !;
Let no time slip-nOt moment wait!
Ii the fiddle would play it must stop its tuning,
And they who would marry must be done with
their incoming;
Mind well the cattle, let he'churn go rattle,
And pile the wood by the barn-yard gate!

THE ANSWER.

He said, "Why should your song be always sad,
So paintiye in its flow?
Look outward TO the lessons, wise and glad.
That God and nature show.
"Why draw from that immortal fount the force
To forge anew your chain?
What magic touch shall finally divorce
The spirit from the pain ?''
The sweet aroma OF the sun-kissed pine
Lived in the viewleSs air;
The peace and silence of day divine
Seemed an unspOken prayer.
And gazing up she not shade or light,
But dear eyes looking DOWN
The splendid brow the hair where threads of white
Cleaned brightly through the brown.

That grew about their feet
Gathered a flower as simple as her needs
A snowy Marguerite
And while the stainless petals fell, again
Her quick ear listening caught
The oft repeated, doubling old refrain,

The Triumph of COrn-COb over Nicer
SChaUm.

How unsatisfactory is the possession of
a meerschaum pipe Surprising you to
have secured a fine piece-the best piece
in the universe, say-yOu would not he
more happy than miserable. The whole
universe seems leagued to destroy it.
You fear to put it away, lest harm should
come to it in your absence equally do
you dread taking it up, for there is the
risk of dropping, scratching, breaking.
While smoking it you cautiously keep
on the morocco case; handling would
soil the bowl, and you have heard that
the coloring oil evapOrates if the pipe be
exposed to the air. The longer and more
completely your precautions are success
full, the greater your anxiety and nervous
apprehension and if, after all lit gener-
ally ends SOY, the cherished, the inimita-
BILE, the invaluable meerschaum is broken
all to pieces, your agOnizing sense OF loss
pays dear for your season Of uneasy
ecstacy.
This ever-present excitement and
unrest is destructive to the peace and
comfort which should attend thoughts of
pipe-smoking. Our pipe should be our
refuge and solace, rather than our care
and torment. You will seldom find a
smoker of age and experience INDUCING
his habit through q costly and fragile
medium; possibly, if he be rich, he will
have you to his cabinet and parade be
fore you a choice specimen of "real
Vienna" but you will notice that the
clay is still virgin, and having carefully
locked it back in the cabinet, your ex-
perienced friend picks up some battered,
disreputable looking old corn cob or
other, which he loads and fires with a
sigh of relief and satisfaction; and when
he is through smoking he throws the
corn-cob carelessly on the table, nor
careth he should it fall thence to the
floor; bless you the corn-cob can stand
it. Be not deceived by this seeming
neglect, however; trust me. your wise
friend loves corn-cob from his heart, and
would feel it's loss there, while the
choice Vienna's" evanishment would
chiefly harrow his-pocket.-Juyian HaV-

GOLD IN BULK.-Gold is valued at
$146 per cubic inch. At this rate a
cubic foot of the precious metal, which
contains 1,728 cubic inches, will be
worth about 1892, 2S8. The entire guam

KaIakaua's Business in Washington.

As to King Kalakaua's mission here
there is scarcely but one opinion among
those best informed, and that is that it
relates directly or remotely to the sub.
ject of annexation. A few believe that
it has reference to reciprocity treaty,
which would prove of very great advan-
tago to the Hawaiian islands, but even
this view, were it correct. might bear
remotely to#ard ultimate annexation BY
the United States. There are very few
who believe that the visit is merely q
social one, and that the government
would pay such marked attention to a
ruler Of such insignifcance if there were
nothing to gain by it. When the grand
duke OF Russia, to the exertions of whose
father the United States owed, in great
measure, the noRint erference OF Europe
during our civil war, came to Washing
ington, hewas treated with marked con-
tempt, and was not received at the depot
by single government officer. Even
Baezs the president of o republic, and q.
ceiogad man, was not treated with po-
Hteness during his gwo or three visits To
Washington. But the secretary of state
and two other cabinet officers, with their
secretaries and special train, make
haste to. meet King KaIakaua and escort
him with banners, music and soldiers to
bis hotel. Such attention, it ID urged,
would not be accorded the king Of the
Hawaiian islands under ordinary oir-
earastaaces. u Is also said thai Gen.
soho1e1d's visit TO the Island, two or
tfFee years ago, Was IN reality Tor the
purpose Of sounding The government
and the people on the subject of trans
feTring their allegiance TO the United
States, and that the present kings mis-
sion Is but another move III the same
direction. Wa8hiagt0n Letter.
