Eklbbons.

Ribbons. which now form so large a
part of every civilized woman's dress,
have become very important article of
commerce, and are manufactured largely
both in Europe and America. Until
recently, however, they were entirely
of foreign product. Their manufacture
first attained consequence in France
during the seventeenth century. They
were variegated with snowy patterns.
and, about 1880. embossed ribbons,
stamped with hot steel plates, each
piece having part of the pattern en-
graved, came into fashion, and were for
time the rage. Figured ribbons were
made principally at Paris, but also at
Lyons and Avignon until 1923. when
Paris secured most of the trade. Before
the revocation of the edict of Nantes
there were some 5000 ribbon makers at
Tours; but that measure, by banishing
Protestants, broke up the industry there
and crippled it at Lyons. In England
ribbons are produced mostly at Coven-
try with steam power looms. The ma
terial for the warp Of the best ribbons is
Italian organzine silk, thrown from
Italian raw silk; and for inferior sorts
organzine silk from India end China.
The weaving has been done lately in
jacquard looms. A fixed standard OF
width Is adopted, marked by different
numbers of pence, probably the original
prices, though they no longer have any
such significance. The French desig-
nate ribbons by numbers-from one to
to sixty. French ribbons are generally
lighter than the English; but they are
of better silk and better dressed. Rib
bon velvets are largely manufactured at
Kiefeld Germany, Spitalfelds eng
land), and st. Etienne (France). This
country is rapidly improving in making
ribbons, and some OF them are equal to
those of either France or England.

which are pointed! at the toes. Both
Chinese and Japanese materials are
largely used for indoor robes.
Portia fans are greatly In favor at the
present moment in Paris. They are
made of ostrich and peacock feathers,
and the plumage of the golden or I'M
peyan pheasants. Other feathers are
employed, but these are the favorites.
The centers OF these fans are sometimes
adorned with heads or wings OF small
brilliant colored birds.
The long cloaks worn last winter are
likely to be in general use next season.
There is much to be said in their favor,
but they have some disadvantages.
These cloaks completely cover the dress,
and are consequently very economical,
as old skirts can be worn under them.
This is, however, not an advantageous
fashion for dressmakers, as there is no
demand for handsome walking suits
when these cloaks are fashionable.

AS there are many American girls
who mediate or commit matrimony
with Frenchmen, it Is well to have
the French law on marriages with
foreigners stated. The case stands
thus: If An American woman marries
a Frenchman in this country in accord
ance with American law, and he be un-
der tn of twenty-five, but of mar
riageablC age according to our code, the
union may be declared invalid in
France, unless the bridegroom has OBJ
aimed the permission of his parents to
marry. AS it would not enter the mind
of an Amer loan girl to imagine that n
young man of our-and-twenty required
the sanction OF his parents ere he could
be legally married, one need hardly say
inquiry on this point is seldom made.
The marriage Is celebrated and children
are born. The family may after time
find it convenient to 90 to France, and
then the unhappy lady who has formed
connection of this kind, discovers that
in the native land OF her husband she
is neither maid, wife nor widow. She
may be cast off a. any moment. In
deed, If the parents of her husband are
powerful and INSCRIPTIONS, she may,
on their representations, be expelled
from the country by the orders and
coercion of the police. Painful instances
of the working of this law have been
recently brought 10 notice-instances
in which ladies of respectable birth and
gentle nurture suddenly found them
selves discarded, and thrust with little
ones on the cruel streets of Paris, home
less and iriendless. But for the kindly
succor of one or two charitable organic
ations in the capital of France, it is
impossible to say what end they might
have come TO. However, even after
charity has rescued them from their
miserable plight, their condition is and
must remain infinitely painful. No
amount of benevolence can restore the
discarded matron to her honorable sta
tion.

The Senate Pie Stand.

The Senate pie stand, says the WASH
ington correspondent OF the Hartford
Times, was kept by Il crippled lady
named Mary Burch. She has been
there for many years, and has probably
made money. During the time Mary
has kept 1t she has had as customers
many of the leading men of the nation.
Senator McCrary, ofKentucky, the most
humorous speaker that has been In the
Senate since the days of Nye, was a
regular customer of Mary's stand; so
also was Zach Chandler. David Davis
could be seen there every day the Senate
was in session. drinking his glass of
milk and eating his piece of pie, for
which Mary charged eight cents.
Chandler was n great pie-ea5er; Senator
Vest, of Missouri, WAS also frequen
but not regular consumer of Mary's
famous pies. / remember one day of
hearing Senator McCrary invite Senator
Ransom, of North Carolina, up TO
Mary's stand. Said McCrary, whose
strongest point was his economy and
saving-he saved, it Is said, $685.
600 of the $4,000 he received as
salary for the eight years he was
In the Senate" Ransom, you have
lunched me several times, now come
and take lunch with me-" Ransom
accompanied him, expecting, OF course,
to be led down 10 the restaurant. but
McCrary walked direct to Mary's pie
stand Mary" said he, "give us two
glasses OF milk nd five cents worth of
ginger cakes. Turning TO Ransom, he
asked, innocently: Ransom, do you
like ginger cakesP" Ransom said he
did, but he drank the milk only, while
McCrary consumed the five cakes. An
other day he met Conkling walking
along the hall. Stopping him, he said :
"Conkling, have something" "Conk-
ing said: Certainly" McCrary went
over TO the stand, and, handing Mary
two pennies, said: "Give US two of
those long sticks of candy" Takihg
the largest, he handed Conkling the
ther, and the pair walked off. One
day Mary was asked If Senator Davis
ate in proportion TO his size. She an
swered: "No, he don't eat much, but
he is good pay, which is more than some
of them" Senator Davis, besides his
million-dollar farm, has at least another
million dollars lying around. Mary
made cake which was known as the
two-cent cake. 1t was made of better
material than the ordinary penny cake.
Chandler was noticed munching on
them one day by frien d, who asked il
he could stand such food. STAND itl''
he replied; "no, don't stand It, My
liver is too active. and eat these to stop
| IL little"

Good Conversation.

The tone of good conversation is flow-
ing or natural; it is neither heavy or
frivolous; it is learned without pedan-
try, lively without noise, polished with
out equivocation. 1t Is neither made
up of lectures nor epigrams. Those
who really converse, reason without
arguing, joke without punning. skill
fully unite wit and reason, mAxims and
sallies. ingenious raillery and severe
morality. They speak of everything, in
order that every one may have some
thing to say; they do not investigate too
closely for fear of wearying; questions
are introduced rs II by-the-by. and are
treated with rapidity; precision leads
to elegance, each one giving his opinion,
and supporting 1t with few words. No
one attacks wantonly another's opinion; /;
no one supports his own obstinately.
They discuss in order TO eDlig hten them
selves, and leave off discussing when
dispute would begin; every one gains
information, every one recreates him.
self, and all go away contented; nay,
the sage himself may carry away from
what he has heard matter worthy OF
silent meditation.-F. r. RouSseau.

Trades Unions In England.

Workingmen's societies in England
grow To enormous proportions, possibly
because, in addition TO their trades
union features, they take the place of the
said mutual and beneficial associations
so common in this country. Four Of the
great English societies-the engineers,
iron founders, boiler makers. and steam
engine makers-have nearly eight thou
and members, with incomes amount
ing TO over one million dollars n year.
They paid out in 1879 more than twice
as much, chiefly for the benefit of men,
bers who were sick or out of work. A
million dollars were spent on the unem-
ployed, mostly in form of donations.
but large amount for travelling ex-
penses. A quarter of million was
awarded to men on strike, but this was
only one-eighth of the whole amount
distributed, the societies not encourag-
ing struggles with employers, except in
rare cases. The administration OF the
affairs OF these and cooperative socie-
ties in England is remarkable for econ
omy and honesty, vast corporations
being managed for workingmen for
years with quite as much success as at
tends the business ventures of merchants
and bankers supposed to be specially
qualified for such undertakings.
