Fashion Notes.

Walking dress skirts clear the ground
in Paris.
Flounces gathered at wide intervals
are very popular
New bathing suits for gentlemen are
knit in one piece.
Belts are more fashionable than they
have been for years.
Yellow grenadine wells are offered by
fashionable milliners.
Silver scarf pins of simple design are
the caprice of the moment.
Two bars of gold linked by a chain are
fashionable sleeve buttons.
Black silk and black cashmere Breton
suits are coming in vogue
Parasols, slippers and fans are trimmed
with punches of flowers.
The deep, round Cromwell collar is in
troduced in linen and lace for ladies.
The most stylish hats are trimmed
simply with 4 grenadine or India gauze
scarf.
The latest ornament for bangles is a
tiny gold toy, shaped like chickens
wish bone.
Thimbles and scissors of gold studded
with turquoises are the latest extrava-
gance.
Jet-trimmed bonnets are displayed by
the leading milliners, yet are seldom
seen on the street-perhaps because they
cost $40 or $50.
Fine twilled woods and basket-woven
stuffs in colors are now imported for chill
dren's dresses in light qualities that are
not warmer than pique.
Ruches are used for headings of
fiounces, the edges being fringed out.
Even the strings of bonnets are often
fringed out of faille, and very pretty
head dresses in imitation of feathers CON
sist of fringed-out satin.
In coiffures decided rules are seldom
given; the hair is arranged according to
the taste and appearance of the wearer;
they are, however, much less elaborate
than formerly. The aim seems now to
have the head appear as small and shape
ly as possible. To do this the hair is
twined into simple Grecian knot. Oft
en- the hair is plated and arranged into
a CatOgan.
Small mantles of silk, lace or drdp d'ete
are employed as wraps, or as complete
costumes, and lace shawls, draped as
bournous nantes, will reappear as sum-
mer advances. The spring wrap of light
cloth is excessively ugly; because so
large and fiat across the back The early
demand was so great that they were
made in immense quantities, now they
can be bought for song.
A Paris paper says: Bodices were last
month crossed in front and fastened on
the waist only; they are now being also
crossed on the back and made of nothing
but biais which draw over the shoulders
and thus inclose the figure. This style
is appreciated by The slender; white
under-tichu of tulle bordered with edging
is the under lingerie worn with these
cOrSGgeSchGleS.
New ornaments for hats take singular
shapes; some resemble a hinge, others
bars studded with nails, still others a
section of lattice or trellis work in gilt
or silver. This latter style is great IA
vorite, and is repeated in the lace ends
to Cravats and neckties. Handkerchiefs,
neckties, cOllarettes and the like are in
great profusion and infinite variety.
Newest collarettes are round with a
standing rutfle Of lace fronting double
plating of crepe lisse. They are very
soft and pretty made all in lace, Valen-
ciennes or duchesse, but simple ruflles
with bows are very convenient wear for
summer.

A Wonderful Invention.

A patent has been granted Loring Pick
ering, one of the editors and proprietors of
the Eoenjag Bulletin and Morning Call, of
San Francisco, for method of rapid tel.
egraphing Of fac simjLe of stereotype
plates. 1t is claimed that by the process
an entire page of newspaper can be
transmitted by telegraph in from twenty
to thirty minutes, delivering the copy
directly from the instrument in such form
that it can be handed Immediately to the
printers; IN other words, the copy will
be substantially the reproduction of the
original, except that it may be given in
larger-sized letters if so desired. The
stereotype requires no preparation for
the purpose of Geographic transmission,
other than the filling of all its depres,
sions or spaces between the faces of let.
tiers with nconducting substance,
which may be quickly applied, the face
of the type being left clean by means of
an equally simple process. The plate
thus prepared is placed upon a cylinder
arranged to revolve rapidly, so as to pre-
sent each successive letter to fingers at
tached to the revolvers. The frame grad.
ually advances by the operations of a
screw, and thus each and every line is
successfully presented to the fingers or
magnetic points mentioned. Necessarily
the circuit is open when the points are
passing over a conducting surface,
but as often as a metal type presents it.
self to said fingers the circuit is closed
and the corresponding magnetic points
or pens at the receiving station make
record there in the same letter as the
original delineates, in series of fine lines,
either upon chemically prepared or ordi-
nary paper, liked upon corresponding
cylinder at said receiving station.

OK branch of railroad that runs
trough the rural districts into the edge
of New Hampshire the train drew up at
a small station. The passengers gazed
out of the car windows to take in any
thing of interest that might be seen, but,
the unimportance of the place being
noted at "a glance, they fell to reading
their papers and magazines. After a
considerable wait the passengers eyed
each other in wonderment, and one bold
er than the rest ventured on to the plat
form and looked into the station, and
found a tailor measuring the conductor
of the train for suit of clothes. After
the conductor had given full directions

Pin-Making in England.

THERE are in England, as nearly as
can be ascertained, $50 pin machines,
for producing pins either complete or by
two processes-pointing and heading
Each of these machines will make on an
average 220 per minute, 1866, 900 in an
hour, or So, 9O4 600 in one day of nine
hours Qess intervals), or 343, aga 600 in
week of fifty-four hours if all are
going.
These pins would weigh, of average
sizes, thirty-four tons, as the production
of the whole of England in ffty-tour
hours, or 1876 tons per annum. This
calculation is based on what machines
have actually produced in fifty-four
hours, nearly 1904 pounds. Out of this
quantity there are about five tons each
week made from iron wire, which is
coated with tin-an American invention
which produces an inferior and rela-
lively dear article, as compared with the
great bulk of the pins manufactured
from brass, iron-plated pins being sold at
nearly the same price as brass, although
the metal of the one costs Cd. per pound,
and the other Sd. per pound
A good pin machine for carding
them on paper will card about 900 pins
per minute; one ounce of the best granu-
lated block tin will coat tifty-siX pounds
of tin as bright as silver. The cost of
working one pin machine in finishing the
pins from beginning to end is rather
over OBS. per machine in large and we'll
conducted mandatory. To produce a
sheet of 800 pins, the machinery costs
f7O if 500 on sheet, about e10 extra.
To produce one ton of loose pins per
week, 81 900 worth of machinery is re-
quired; if the pins are mounted on cards
or sheets, the cost is 81 400. About
three tons of pins are required always
for stock, worth, on the average, e120 a
ton. To buy pins cheap they must be
bought loose, for if bought on cards or
paper the extra work and material has
to be paid for
Pins on sheets are always much thinner
than when loose, as they have to be made
thin and long to make them large, and
also to meet the keenness of COMPETE
ton. If made loose they are usually
thicker and shorter and are, therefore,
made quicker, cost less to produce, and
are better for use, nos being so likely to
bend or break. Birmingham makes
quite twenty-four tons each week, Lon
don about one ton, Stroud and Bristol
about six tons, and Warrington some
thing like one ton. France and Prussia
are now large manufacturers, as also
America. Canada has also its pin manu-
facturers.-LondOn Mining Journal.

THELASTST. CLAIR.

The last male descendant of General
Arthur st. Clair, of Revolutionary fame,
and who was the first Governor of the
Northwest Territory, of which Ohio was
part, died at Penn Square, Montgomery
county, Pa, on the 10Th inst. in his eighty
fifth year.
Arthur St. Clair, the grandson of Gen.
eral Arthur St. Clair, is the last of the
family that bore the name, except
Mrs. David Boyd, who still resides in
Philadelphia. General St. Clair was born
in Scotland In 1874 and came to America
as an ensign, serving in the British army
under Amherst at Louisburg and under
Wolfe at Quebec. Resigning his British
commission he settled in the Ligonier
Valley, Western Pennsylvania, in l764.
His Revolutionary and subsequent public
services at Trenton, Princeton, and else
where are familiar. Just before the
adoption ofthe Constitution he was Presi-
dent of Congress, and was Governor of
the famous Northwest Territory from
1887 to 1902. Of his three sons, Arthur
St. Clair settled in Ohio. John Murray st..
Clair settled in Westmoreland county,
on the old homestead, and Daniel 81.
Clair settled in Montgomery county, Pa.
This was the father of the venerable Ar.
thur St. Clair, just deceased, who was
born, resided during his whole life, and
died on the same farm. in Montgomery
county.

WAlER-PROPULSTON.

Attempts have been made at various
times to move boats by forcing jets oi
water through openings in the sides or
ends of the hulls, and hitherto these ex.
periments have not been successful. A
more recent experiment in this direction
has resulted favorably, and tow. boat
1911 meters (43 ft.) long, has been con-
structed that employs a common steam
pump in place Of an engine and propeller
The boat has a steam. boiler of moderate
size, and is, in other respects, tow-boat
of the usual pattern. Four pipes ga milli'
meters (23 in. in diameter are laid the
whole length of the boat inside, and about
l meter below the water-line. At the
bow two of these pipes open the whole
size of the pipe directly into the outer
water, and at the stern they are reduced
to nozzle of only % milimeters diane.
ter. The other pair of pipes is arranged
in the same manner. except that the noz-
zles are placed at the bows. A steam
pump is connected with each pair ofthese
pipes, and when at work takes the water
in at the bows and elects it in a powerful
stream at the stern, and thus forces the
boat ahead at q good speed. To re-
verse the direction the pump takes the
water from the stern through the other
pair of pipes and forces it out at the
low, and the boat instantly reverses its
direction. The novelty in this invention
consists in the use of a reduced pipe or
nozzle at the place of discharge, By
means of the two nozzes the boat may
be easily steered independently of the
rudder by using one of the other of the
two pipes alternately. The advantages
claimed for this system of propulsion are
tie cheapness of the apparatus and alb b
sence of ripple or disturbance of the wa
ter. The escaping water is so far below
the surface that it creates no disturbance
and the boat only makes the wave that
breaks from the bow, and in this respect
this method of propulsion may fulfill the
demand for a steam tow boat for canals.
On trial trip at sea, the boat made a
voyage of some length in safety and at
good speed" Worlds Work." Scribner

THE WILD WEST.
How Boring Class WaS8 Broken Up
From the Virginia City Chronicle.

Last evening there was some extraor-
dinary fun in the gymnasium. A box.
ing class had been formed, consisting Of
ten pupils. Some one connected with
the institution conceived the idea ofget>
ing up riot in the class He went
about it in novel and ingenious way.
Before the hour for the class melting, he
bored hole through the ceiling and let
down rope, to the end ofwhich he fas,
tened canvass bag filled with sand.
Above he had confederate manipulat.
ing the rope. When all was in readiness
he remarked:
NOW, boys, I'll put you through the
first exercise. All get around the bag in
acircle and begin to punch with your
fists, Each man must try and drive the
bag over to the man opposite. and the
first man that fails to keep the bag away
from him sets up the beer."
This proposal was received with en-
thusiasm, and the class collected about
the bag. AT the word they all began to
punch with will, getting more earnest
and excited every minute. Just about
this time the fellow overhead, who was
watching the progress of the game
through hole in the ceiling. suddenly
jerked up the bag about foot above
the heads of the excited class The eff.
feet can be easily imagined. Each man
hit the opposite man on the nose and
then they began to battle blindly. While
the riot went on the man above occupied
his time in pulling the bag up and letting
it drop on the heads Of the combatants.

the floor would have delighted Wild Bill.
They rolled over, got each others heads
in chancery, struck from the shoulder in
dead earnest. and had plenty of fun
generally. When they finally got quiet.

men who put up the job, the parties

4 ROMANCE oF7HE PACIFIC.
The Career of TtOo BrOlhers-A Genuine CAL
ifornia Mining Story.


Henry Clark of the we'll known firm OF
Clark & Trimble, came to California six
teen years ago, at the request OF an elder
brother named Robert, who had already
located in the Golden State, and who
wrote home to Canada such flattering let
ters about the chances young man had
for making fortune, that Henry finally
consented to his brothers wishes, and in
1861 he set sail for New York, bound for
the modern Mecca-the Eldorado of the
world--California His brother Bob had
one of those adventurous spirits that in
early days characterized the pioneers,and
Henry becoming imbued with bis broth
er's spirit, the two started for the Com
stock mines that were then in their in
fancy. They both worked in the mines
at that place for some time, e,unttl Bob,who
had heard of Idaho, wanted to pack up
and move into that Territory; but Henry,
who was doing very vel, would not listen
to it, and consequently Bob started off by
himself, determined to"make or break"
in the newly discovered mines. Letters
frequently passed between the brothers
until the uprising of the Indians in the
Territory when all communication ceas'
ed. Finally, a report came that Robert
Clark was killed while leading an attack
on the red devils, the rumor being con-
frmed by remnants of his company who
saw him fall, and many story was told
of the gallantry displayed by their noble
leader, whom they all loved for his valor.
Henry wrote home to the old folks in
| Canada, sending newspapers also, ,desCrib-
ing the fight in which Robert fell. Faith
er, mother, brothers and sisters, shed
many a tear over the loss of the brave
youth who fell protecting defenseless wo'
men and children. Henry wrote to Idaho
to try and recover the body of his broth
er, but without avail. He had been bu-
ried, so the answer said, with the rest OF
the slain in the forest where the battle
was fought.
For long years the memory of his
brother has dwelt in the mind of Henry,
who was wont to look upon Bob with the
same confidence that sou looks upon q
father. Imagine the surprise of Mr.. Clark
on yesterday morning when he received
telegraphiC dispatch from an old friend
in San Francisco, which said: "Your broth
er is here. Come down, Have sent you
letter." Last evening, sure enough, let
ter came telling all about the adventures
of Bob in the last thirteen years. How
he was dangerously wounded, captured
by the savages, kept prisoner for years,
finally taken to Arizona, and how he
made his escape from them. He is in San
Francisco at present, getting a mill to
work quartz from mine which he has
discovered in that Territory. His relent-
less spirit will not allow him to remain
within the bounds of civilization, and he
is determined to 60 back and work III 8
mine if it breaks him again. Henry left
this morning for San Francisco to see his
brother, realizing the old adage that truth
is stranger than fiction.
