Odd Fashions.

Fashion depends upon the breadth
OF caprice, and. III spite of all that can
be sad, It's principal characteristics
are slngularity and vulgarity. Unless
we SUIT ourselves to its fantastic TASTE,
we become singular and are denounced
by the million, llazlitt has defined
fashion rs gentility running away
from vulgarlty and afraid Of being
overtaken by il. Thus the shrewd es-
sayist signifies that the two things are
not far apart. Undoubtedly we ought
to conform to the manners and cos
TUNES of the greater number, and SO
behave and dress as not to draw at
teutlon To ourselves, or, in other
words, clothe our minds as well as
Our bodies somewhat after the fashion
IN vogue. Perhaps a good rule is never
to be the first TO follow Il new fashion,
nor the last one to keep it, for it is
only the science of appearances. a de-
sire to seem, not desire to be.
Singular fashions of dress have al
most always originated in the neCesSi-
~ OF hiding some physical detormity.
In illustration of this we may instance
the shoes at one time worn, terminal
ing IN points two feet long, and SO
Troublesome that they had TO be held
up TO the knee 10y chains or silken
cords. These were invented in the
Middle Ages by Henry PIautagenet,
Duke OF AniDu, to conceal an enormous
eNcrescence he had upon one of his
feet. Charles the Seventh, of France.

Edward the Sixth of England invented
patches to hide blemish on one of
her snowy shoulders, and for half a
century the young and most charming
women OF Europe were compelled to
hide the color of their heads under a
thick paste, because the Duke of
Richelieu, unwilling to SHOW his gray
hairs, had Invented the odious and
most ugly fashion of powder. We re-
call only one single pretty fashion
which has sprung from the necessity
OF hiding an imperfection, and for that
reason it merits especial notice. 1t is
the lace-trimmed handkerchief of the
Empress Josephine. She had bad
teeth. On our day the older lady
grows the better her teeth become y
In the days Of the First Empire the
dental art was unknown, or rather it
was in its infancy. To conceal her
detect the Empress always carried in
her hand handkerchief adorned with
costly lace, and while conversing she
constantly raised it to her face, pro-
duclng the effect of a perfumed cloud
of lace waving before her. Some of
her handkerchiefs cost two hundred
dollars each, a large sum in those days
for this object.-N. Y. Weekly.

L orpedo Balloons.

\ correspondent suggests that tor
pedo balloons might prove formid-
able means of OtfenSe, and proposes A
plan OF sending up a balloon, with a
torpedo attached, to Windward of an
enemy, and then dropping the torpedo
by bursting the balloon. 1t seems to
us that this is good idea, and one
which might find useful application in
the bombdrdment of cities, camps and
fortified places. Ii Is of course not
practicable against an enemy capable
OF moving ABOUT quickly. 1t is not a
difficult matter TO construct a balloon
capable OF lifting sufficient nitro
gIycerlne for the purpose. This
might be incloSed in a saeli and sus-
pended as car under the air ship. 4
simple mechanical device could easily
be provided for dropping the load and
tins device might be controlled by a
light wire through which an electric
current could be sent. The besiegers
have only to wait for fair wind, and
then start their balloon from a point
