THE FASHIONS OF THE HOUR.

New Yolk Correspondence of the Boston Journal.
There seems to be a sort of Providence
guiding the fashions of the present sea-
son. The ladies were never more appro-
priately dressed than now---never more
economically arrayed. The hats cost
next to nothing, Everything is in the
fashion that anybody chooses to wear.
Some of the Fifth avenue damsels wear
hats that cost thirty cents. They are
banged up this way and banged up that;
and the more Outre the more genteel.
Some are worn like q French Chapeau,
some like an inverted milk-pan, some are
skewered out to the back Of the head,
some bend down over the nose, others are
sugarlOafed. Then they are bent in the
crown. The most popular are the "TLiss-
me-if-you-dare" style. Nearly every
house has cIosetsfull of fashionable silks,
satins, and alpacas. The reigning fash
ion to have four or five styles in one suit
brings everything into play. 1t is fash
ionable to have both sleeves alike, but
the sleeves and the dress bear no rela-
tionship. In color and material they
have no connection with the dress. The
skirt may be satin, silk, alpaca, or en-
press cloth; the overskirr according to
the fancy or ability. The gloves have no
match for the dress. A fashionable out
fit may be made up from dozen differ
ent garments. 1t is quite popular now
for young ladies in schools to make up
their own millinery, especially their hats.
The ladies have a new hat once month.
The old article is only revamped and
turned with a new twist and new curl.
If 1t was tipped up behind, that is let
down and it is tipped up be nc. The
right hand side is loosened and the le t
hand side rolled up, or rice vcraa. Fash
ion, that imperious dame, was never as
oonsiderate and merciful as now.

WHAT rs An INGRAM CARPET.
T. xtiIe Manufacturer.

The two-ply ingram known to the
trade is a fabric composed of two webs or
"pIies of cloth, made with different col
ored yarns-say one "ply" green, the
other red--ot an equal consistence OF
texture, united at the edges or selvages
of each by the selvage threads, and in
grained or united at different parts of the
cloth, wherever called for by the design
or pattern. If the red "ply" represents
the ground color of the design, then the
green will be the figure color; and when
ever the green figuring "ply" appears over
the red ground "ply" that is ingraining.
The more general this ingraining or mix
ing up Of the two webs or "plies," the
better the fabric is ingrained and the
longer it will wear. The 2hree-ply in
grain is made and ingrained after the same
manner. A two-ply carpet, woven on
the same loom and mounted" in the
same manner as a two-ply ingram, if
woven plain, without any design or pat
tern, would be a seamless bag, or two
bags joined together by one side of each.
The old Scotch twO-ply ingram weighed
about twenty-four ounces to the yard,
The welt yarns were heavier than those
now used, and the warp-threads were
three-cord wOrsted and much stronger
and heavier than the two cord now in
general use. Two things are gained by
the substitution of the two, cord WARRIOR
the three-cord, though the fabric is rem
dered less durable. One is the saving of
wOrsted, the most expensive of the two
materials which compose the fabric; the
other is that the wrap being finer it per-
mits a wider scope in shading the welt
colors. This will be understood evenly
the unskilled reader if he will place an
unequal number of coarse and fine black
threads on two pieces Of scarlet or white
cloth or paper Of equal width. The finer
the black threads are the brighter the
coIors underneath will appear. Ingram
carpets are frequently called Scotch car
pets, and by others Kidderminster. The
difference in the nomenclature of this
fabric, we presume, is due to the fact
that, until 1912, Kidderminster had
nearly a monopoly in making ingram.
In the memorable strike of that year,
which commenced in March and contin-
ued into August, it lost nearly all its in
grain trade, Which mostly fell into the
hands of Scotch manufacturers.

DEATH ON THE DEEP.

Terrible Story Of Suffering GA the Sea.
New York Special to Chicago I lines.
There comes from the sea a tale of suf-
fering and death. The steamer Frisia,
of the Hamburg American line, arrived
here to-day. among those on board
were the captain, two passengers, and
one of the crew of the Spanish brig
Joquina, abandoned at sea after the cook
and five Of the crew had died, and the
captain and two others were reduced to
the verge Of starvation. On August 18th
the Frisia sighted the small Spanish brig
Joquina, which was drifting helplessly
at the mercy of the waves, and from
which signals of distress were flying. On
board the brig four men were found
the captain, sailor named COrtez, and
two passengers named Santeer and Gar
din0t. From them the following par
ticulars were obtained: The Joquina,
which belongs to Barcelona, Spain, left
San Domingo City for Havre on June
Goth. She had on board a crew of seven
and the two passengers above named.
They had long been residents of DOmn-
go City. The vessel had not been many
days cut when five of the crew and the
mate were taken sick and died in a few
hours. 1t was at first supposed that
they were poisoned, but this is scarcely
probable as the cook died subsequently,
and in the same sudden and mysterious
manner as the others. The mates death
occurred in an hour after he was taken
sick. After these deaths had occurred
the captain was utterly unable to
manage the vessel with one seaman and
two passengers. 1t drifted helplessly for
forty-fve days, until the Frisia came in
sight. The provisions had become ex-
hausted, nothing being left but some
beans, and ON these and some water the
captain, sailor, and two passengers sub
sisted They say their suferings were
80 terrible that death would have been
welcome in preference to many more
days of such existence, The brig was in
good condition when the Frisia came up
with her, her sails and other parapher-
MALTA being in excellent order, as they
were left when the crew sickened and
died. After rescuing those on board the
brig, first officer Francom, of the Frisia,
went of in a boat and tried to pat a
prize crew on board the Joquina, but
owing to the heavy sea he could not do
80, and the Spanish vessel was left to her

4 GENERATION ON THE MARCH.
Newark Advertiser.

| NEWARK AWNeEhAabGs
A generation on the march from the
cradle to the grave is aninstructive spec
taele, and we have it carefully presented
to us in the report by DR.. Farr, an Eng
lish physician. Let us trace the physi-
cal fortune which any million of us may
reasonably expect. The number to be-
gin with, is made up of 81, 745 boys and
488, 255 girls, a disprOpOrtion which, by
and by, will be redressed by the undue
mortality of the boys, and will bereversed
before the close of the strange, eventfu
history. More than quarter Of these
children will die before they are five
years old-in. exact numbers, al, 1857
boys and 121, 795 girls. The two sexes
are now nearly on alevel. The next five
years will be much less fatal. In the
succeeding five years-ffom ten to fif-
teen the mortality will be still further
reduced. Indeed, for both sexes, this is
the most healthy period of life; the
death-rate, however, is lower for boys
than for girls. There will be some ad-
vance in deaths in the next five years,
and still more in the five which follow,
but 634, 045 will certainly enter on their
twenty-sixth year. Before thenext ten
years are at an end, two thirds Of the wO-
men will have married. The deaths dur
ing that period will be 62,O52, and Of
those no fewer than q, 1874 will be caused
by consumption. Between thirty-fve
and forty-fve still larger death-tOll !"
will de paid, and little more than half
the original band-in exact numbers,
502,915-will enter on their forty-sixth
year. Each succeeding decade, up to
seventy-fve, will now become more fatal,
and the numbers will shrink terribly.
At seventy-fve only 161, 124 will remain
to be struck down, and of these 122, $50
will have persisted by the eighty-ffth
year of the march. The 1856 that re-
main will soon lay down their burdens;
but 2, 1853 of them will struggle on to be
