In Paris lingerie as well as dress in
clines toward division. Just az short
dresses are worn in the morning and
trained dresses in the evening, narrow
and fiat plain linen collars are used for
morning,and deep lace collars, ruches and
fchus for evening wear. Formerly a
plain. linen collar WAS worn with the
handsomest velvet dress in the morning
as well as in the evening; formerly, too,
lace collars were worn in the morning.
Fashion at present more sensibly suits
the lingerie to the dress, and regulates
the latter to suit the hours of the day.
PINEAPpLEs that ripen on their native
soil are 50 unlike those we get here that
they do not taste like the same fruit. A
new industry has recently been com.
menced on the island of New Providence,
one of the Bahama Isles, which promises
to be lucrative. The pineapple is pre-.
served in tins when it is fully ripened,
and is shipped in 4 perfect condition.
Thus prepared, the fruit is said to be
almost as delicious as when freshly
gathered. A large factory for preserving
has been established at Nassau, and large
quantities are expected to be soon in our
markets.
GEN. HUMEs at the Memphis Thanks
giving: Seven thousand dollars in
money were sent to Memphis to its vari-
Gus societies, and Of this over 100000
came from, the. Northern cities and States,
and near 100000 from the Southern
cities, towns and States. Besides this
enormous sum of money, hundreds and
hundreds of carloads gof provisions of
clothing and medicines were contributed
by the people of the various States,
towns and cities, and brought by the
railroads free of charge. Contributions
also came from Canada, from England,
from Germany 'and from France, and
several of the cities of those countries.
The Investigations recently made by
government off GERS into the authorizations
of refined sugars have resulted in some
surprising disclosures. Chemical analysis
has shown that the sugars produced by
many-we might almost say most of the
New York and Brooklyn refneries are
adulterated. The principal substances
introduced into the sugar are glucos IAN
article made from starch), tin, and
muriatic acid To say nothing OF the
fraud practiced, these foreign articles
must be injurious to the health OF con
sumers Of sugar. Refined sirups are said
also to contain poisonous authorizations.
The matter il certainly one which de-
serves to most thorough investigation.
R-iners who produce pure article will
not be injured, and those who do not
should he exposed for the benefit OF the
public.
SINCE the shocking dissertation OF the
late Alexander I. Stewart. hundreds
and perhaps we might say thousands =
of lie tiers in regard to the mysterious
robbery ave been received by Judge
Hilton and Mrs. Stewart. Some OF
these appear to be written in good faith,
and offer advice and suggestions in regard
to the recovery of the body, or
give tonne clew considered OF
value; bat the majority OF these
epistles are worthless except as curiositles'
As such they possess certain interest
Miny of them contain offers to restore
the stolen body for specified sum, vary
ing from 5000 to 100000. 1t halt
of this class have any truthful foundation,
scores and scores Of miscreants must have
taken part in the robbery. Many are
from c'airvoyants, spiritualists, ana
dreamers, who hold themselves r'ady to
tell where the remains may be found
for a suitable consideration. One writer
says that his opinion is chat the Jews
have something to do with this affair;
another asserts that the cor se us IN the
hands of priests" third, that certain
of the New York police" instigated the
robbery; fourth, that "a woman name
