Special Correspondence Of The Tribune.
NEw YORK, Aug, 29.-As autumn approaches
nearer and nearer, new styles by degrees ap-
pear, but even as yet nothing is positively de,
cidcd. 1t will be when the fall openings take
place, that certain styles shall be approved OF
and others discarded. Until then-uptil the
decision ex cathedra is authoritattyely made
one must still be in some doubt as to Just what
modes will be pronounced worthy of acceptance.
IN the transition state which now begins, many
toIcttcs art being made up in 1 manner to
challenge approval, No mattcr what fashions
may appear. The Breton costume will un-
douhtedly be as great favoritc during the
coming season as the summer has shown it to
be. 1t is most suitablc for fall wear, as it
makes an admirable street toilette without the
aid Of any foreign wrap. Suits Of this make
will probably be more elaborate and show u
more profusc amount OF braid, bands, or but
tons. These last, as they are the principal
feature OF the Breton, will, Of course, be indis~
pcnsable. Very handsome ones will be used,
and many OF them are yerY expensive, being
beautifully painted BY hand.
At the opening Of imported goods will be
shown handsome buttons OF the newest shape
and material having plain surface. These are
ocsuned 1oF Breton suits, but before being ap-
piled to the dress they are to be decorated by
the lady herself who will wear the suit. This
light and pretty employment will in all proba-
bdity become most fashionable one, and it will
Hcll repay the labor expended uDon them. The

To Distinguish Cotton from Wool.

Ravel ont the suspected cotton fiber
from tho wool and apply fame. The
cotton will burn with q flash, the wool
will curl up, c%erbonize, and emit a burnt,
disagreeable smell. Even to the naked
eye the cotton is noticeably different
from the filaments OF wool, and under
the magniier this difference comes out
strongly. The cotton is q f%lattened, more
or less twisted band, having a very
striking resemblance to hair, which, in
reality, it is; since in the condition OF
elongated cells, it lines the inner sur
face of the pod. The wool may be rec
ognized at once by the zigzag transverse
markings on it's fbers. The surface OF
wool is covered with these furrowed and
twisted fine cross lines, OF which there
arc 1000 to 1000 in nm inch. On this
structure depends its telling property.
Finally, q simple and very striking
chemical test may be applied. The
mixed goods are unraveled, a little oil
the cotton fiber put into n dish and
the WOODEN in another, and a drop OF
strong nitric acid added. The cotton
will be little or not at all affected; the
wool, on the contrary, will be changed
to q bright yellow. The color is due tc
the development Of a picrate.

What Will They D02

According to q statement of the
president OF the Now York Working
mems Assembly there were As, 375 work,
ingmen in that city out of employment.
The workingmen themselves declare that
there is no hope for work this winter.
They do not see q chance to earn their
bread in that city or anywhere else. The
best is stated when it is said that those
trades which feed the clothing business
are pretty lively, but in all the skilled
labor connected with building there is
nothing doing. The mechanics are now
80 hard pressed that there are Thousands
of their families now on the verge of
restitution, with the hard, idle winter
before them. The situation is becom-
ing desperate.
A young man in Bridgeport, Conn,
pulled back so hard, when his oompan-
ions hauled him up to the bar to drink,
that one of his arms was broken. The
truth Of the story is vouched for by the
Bridgeport newspapers.
