Gloves.

THERE is greater variety than usual
in gloves this season. Ladies of con-
sentative tastes continue to use the
plainest kid gloves, with only the neces-
sary stitching on the back. and with
very long wrists, buttoned by four or
six buttons. There are. however, in
all the best establishments gloves with
three broad rows of stitching like en-
broidery on the back, and these are
chosen by ladies who like English
styles. There is also preference
among ladies who have lived abroad
for shorter gloves than those in vogue
here, three buttons being in greater
favor thar four or six, probably because
they are more convenient with closed
sleeves and stiff cuffs. The Queen of
England is said to prefer quite short
gloves, with only two buttons at the
wrist. The broad stitching is some
times in contrasting color to that of the
kid, as black on tan or on old gold; but
this is very conspicuous, and the self
colored stitching is most used. The
scalloped tops of gloves grow more in
favor than the bindings that contine the
arm, and there is a fancy for white
pearl buttons on long-wristed gloves.
The pique gloves enthusiastically with
tapping edges have durable look that

and all purplish hues down to violet;
with slate-co.or that is either green or
brown in hue-these are the colOrs of
the bulk of the stock shown at the
leading houses. Cream. ecru, brown
and putty-color are still popular for
dressy gloves, and there are primrose
and lemon shades far brighter than
any that have been worn for years.
Undressed kid gloves are not brought
out at this season in dark shades. but
are very fashionable in light colors,
such as cream. gray and tan; white
undressed kid gloves of fine quality,
and long, are fashionable for full dress
For day wear three-buttoned gloves of
undressed kid are now sold for one
dollar pair in the best qualities. and
the prices of other gloves are reduced
in proportion. Lisle-thread gloves
come in as varied designs almost rs
shilling calico; they have three elastics
across the wrists, with puffs between;
or they are open worked all around the
loose wrist, or else clicked up each
side, or slightly embroidered with col
ors; or they have lace backs. or per-

But the neatest designs are those with
long wrists. buttoned. or else held in
place BY three elastic bands. Their col
Ors are gray, drab, white. ecru and
black. Silk gloves are made in
similar designs and colors, and are
finished like kid. There are also silk
and thread mitts-half-handed gloves
to wear with quaint dresses in midsum-
mer. FOR travelling and for driving in
phaetons are heavy dog-skin gloves,
made with Tapped seams. Lace mitts
will be fashionable again in the sum-
mer, and are shown in various lengths,
from those with merely gauntlet cuff
to the long-armed mittens that reach to
the elbow. The real Chantilly mitts OF
fine black lace. with thumb and no fin
gers. are the first choice, and cost from
$3.50 a pair up to SIC. The Maltese
lace mittens are very fine and web-like,
and are shown in black, white, cream.

For useful black lace mitts with cuffs,
fine qualities nearly covered with TIE

enough to please the most fastidious

Savage SparrOws.

THE other day number of gentlemen
were sitting in the detectives room in
the City Hall, when an English sparrow
few near the window, peeped in and
darted away again. Captain Holzworth,
who saw the little fellow, said that
whenever he saw sparrow it remind
ed him of little scene which occurred
IN his yard one cold day last winter.
The sparrows, it seems, ascertained the
fact that there was a knot-hole in the
gable of his house, and took advantage
OF their knowledge by taking possession
of the hole and a portion of his attic,
where they passed the winter as snug
as bugs in the rugs. The Captain
wife, like the balance of the ladies, has
a warm spot in her heart for birds. So
when the ground was covered with
snow. and the little fellows ran risk of
starving TO death. Mrs. Ii. woald sweep
away the snow and spread upon the
ground a fine repsst of crumbs. The
sparrows soon learned to depend upon
her. and told their friends what fine
landlady they had The consequences
were hundreds Of them congregated
daily about the Captains house and
partook of his charity. Close to the
spot where the birds were usually fed
was a pile of bricks. and upon this pile
the Captain cherished mouser used to
station herself for the purpose of watch
ing for prey. As soon as the birds
would get comfortably settled upon the
crumbs, the cat would pounce upon
them and invariably get tender spar

came accustomed TO tine cat mode
of procedure, and would be on
the watch whenever they were
feeding. They were so alert
that the cat would hardly get ready for
spring before they were up in the air
and out of danger. One day they were
eating as usual, and the cat as usual
was watching them. Like bolt of
lightning the mouser jumped into their
midst. but they were too quick for her
and escaped unhurt. Mrs Tabbv, not
discouraged, mounted the pile of bricks
again and awaited their return. The
sparrows, after flying about for some
time, finally settled upon the fence at
the foot of the lot. where they held
long and interesting confab. After

they cautiously returned to their
crumbs and resumed their eating. keep
ing all the while a sharp lookout for the
enemy. After the cal had become sat

of her, she made another spring. The
The birds were up in an instant. and
instead of flying away as usual, they
formed themselves into hollow square
and charged upon the foe. Some got
upon the cat back and scratched and
picked with all their might: others flew
right into her face. while the balance
made it interesting in the rear. The
cat was so surprised at first that she
stood unable to move. The birds be-
came more and more Infatuated and
fought such a savage battle that they
drove the foe down the garden path on
full gallop aud under the barn. They
returned TO their feast and were left to
themselves the balance of the winter,

How to Judge q Horse.

NtNEh idht lit oSl4tl . "b4b- Oul IL
is safer TO take that than the horse.
Never trust to horses mouth as a
sure index of age. Horses cannot
speak, but their mouths will lie about
their age, just the same as the human
mouth will sometimes deviate from the
truth in the same regard.
However, there is way TO tell
horses age by his mouth.
Examine the teeth carefully to see if
the filling is gold or silver, and then
give a good guess.
Two things may be set down as GER
tain.
Ii the horse is for sale, he is not over
eight years old.
Jockeys have too much regard for n
horse to sell HIM if he is over eight years
of age.
If it is your horse and You wish to sell
him. he may be put down anywhere
from twelve to eighteen.
Because You know that he was foaled
six Years ago matters nothing. The
man of horse knowledge has SAID it.
Besides. some horses grow very fast.
Never have anything TO do with
horse which keeps his ears thrown
backward.
That is, unless you desire n rapid
transit to another and better world.
Bent knees are bad sign.
Genuflection is an admirable thing in
Christian, but when chronic in horse,
quite the reverse.
Avoid the wheeZv animal.
Music hath charms, but there is such
q thing as monotony.
There is such thing, also, as lung
trouble.
Never buy horse whose skin does
not move easily to the touch.
This indicates not only that he is a
hide-bound bigot, but also that his d.
gestion is bad.
Never buy horse with . blush or
milky cast in the eyes.
Blind horses may go out of fashion
about the same time that yours comes
into it.
If the knees are blemished. it is a
sign he is down on his luck. If his hind
legs are SCARED, ask to see the wagon
to which he has been attached.
Never buy horse that bears the
mark of a strap about his neck.
No matter how old he is he will be
found not to have forsaken his crib.
Never buy horse while in motion;
watch him while at rest and you will
discover his weak points.
Never buy horse while at rest;
oh him while in motion and you
will discover his other weak points.
If one foot is thrown forward with
the toe pointing to the ground with the
heel raised, don't buy him.
If he favors one foot by lifting it from
the round. don buy him.
If foot is thrown on: and rested on
his heel, don't buy him.
If the feet are punched under him,
don't buy him.
Ii he straddles like a saw-horse, don't
buy him.
If he dosen't have clean, well shaped
hoofs, don't buy him.
If he does. don't buy him.
If he seems perfection itself; don't
buy him.
He is probably shamming.
Don't buy horse under any con-
siderstions.
Follow this last rule, and you are
safe - Rosi00 TrauscriDk

Cured by Faith and Pray or.

1t is said that a case of "faith cure''
has occurred within few days past at
Ogletown between Christiana and
Newark. Report says that Levi Ruth
at that place has daughter who has
been sick for quite number Of years
and lost her eye sight and speech. She
suffered great pain and prayed that she
might have her eye sight and speech
restored. A few days ago her parents
heard her talking in her room, and
went to see what had happened.
She told them not to trouble her at
that time, for she was talking with her
Savior, who had answered her prayers,
and told her that she should have no
more pain and that she would only live
one year from that date, and that in
the meantime she would be able to ride
out and occasionally walk little. Sew
ssral doctors, It ia said, have exam mined
her case, but cannot account for the
cure that has been wrought unless 1t
be an answer to prayer. Her attending
physician, 1t is said, has ceased giving
her any more medicine. The case causes
great excitement in the neighborhood.
