FOR THE FAIR SEX.
The Origin of some Fashions

Most of the fashions of past times
were due to the anxiety of some reign
ing beauty either to coaceal blemish
or to display a charm. La Belle Fer
ronniere had the misfortune to burn her
forehead. The accident left an awk-
ward scar which the famous beauty
craftily covered with gem, and from
that time all the ladies of the French
court-who were not ugly and veno-
mous-wore precious jewels in their
brows. Anne of Austria had lovely
arms and shortened her sleeves to show
her charms, and all the artists of the
day had to paint wrists and elbows as
well as hands and faces. Mime. de
Pompadour was little, and so she
thought il best to wesr high heels.
But Nine. de Pompadour was also q
great invalid, and 80 she introduced
those beautiful dressing gowns knotted
with lace and ribbon which soon were
worn Mt every court in Europe. Poor
Maria Antoinette, in her anxiety to dis
play her lovely blonde chevelure, piled
her flaxen locks upon n cushion and
wore the crown of France several inches
above her head, while the Empress
Josephine, Ito exhibit her figure, at
once Greek and Creole, invented cache
mire and brought its use into fashion.
The Princess of Wales wears on her
swanlike neck, as the new fashion,
ruches of lace and velvet collars orna-
mented with silver carvings.

A Faithful Dog.

B. M. Cobb, the possessor OF extensive
pastoral interests in this section, has
shepherd dog that discounts the majority
of the canine family for faithtulness and
studied care to please a master. Tue
dog, it seems, has no higher ambition to
satisfy than to crafty her master, and so
sensitive is she that any manifestation
or dis spleasure ON her masters part at
her behavior appears to annoy her ex-
ceedingly. About six weeks ago Mr..
Cobb left for California, leaving TINS dog
with others in the care of the herder.
He also turned his mule out on the
range to pasture at leisure until he re-
turned. When his sheep were gathered
about the camp at night the dog dis,
covered that her master was absent, and
seemingly over this fact she grew very
anxious and uneasy. The herder oo-
served this restlessness on the part OF
the dog, but supposed that she would
be all right next morning. When
morning came, however, the dog was
gone. A few days subsequently he
scovered her on the range with the
mule and succeeded in inducing her to
follow him to camp, where he ted her.
She again disappeared. Mr.. Cobb was
absent about five weeks, and when ie
returned he repaired to the range to get
his mule, which was also dutiiul
animal, and to his amazement and relief
he found the faithful dog in comp my
with his faithful donkey far out on the
range, apparently contented and happy
companions. At the sight of her master,
however, the dog became perfectly
frantic with ecstasy and manifested heI
unalloyed rapture by actions that were
as easily comprehended by him as
though they had been spoken in words

Franklin rs a Writer.

His pen was as ready as his purse in
the service of all human kindness. And
what a pen it WIS! Tt could discourse
metaphysics so clearly and lucidly as to
make them seem plain moralizing. 1t
could tear o sophism to pieces by mere
query. 1t could make a simple tale
read like subtle argument. lie could
be grave and he could be gay. in a
breath. He could spend as much wit
and humor on Craven 6reet Gazette
which was meant only to amuse an oio
landlady away from home, anG probably
out of Joint before her return from
Rochester-as on state paper designed
to fire America and sting England. In
another tone, he translates into human
language, for the amusement of court
lady, the reflections, in the garden OF her
house, of gray-headed ephemera, full
seven hours old, on the vanity Of all
things. His Petition of the Left Hand
might have been composed by Addison.
In it, the left hand bewails the partiality
which educates the right hand exclu-
sively.
Some of Franklin's fables and tales
have been so absorbed into the thought
of the world that their source is abso-
lutely forgotten. Only in this way can
we account tor what was doubtless an
uuCOuSClOuS lSlh Wy e'h
sanitary authority, last year, of DR..
trankl ms Economical project for Di-
minishing the cost of Light" The
economy consisted simply in rising at
six o'clock instead of nine or ten. Ideas
such as Franklin's never become super
animated. Not every one who uses the
expression, "to pay dear for ones
whistle" knows that the dear whistle
was purchase made by Franklin, when
several years old, with pocketful OF
pence.
Franklin's store was too abur dant for
him TO mind, though some of his fame
went astray. You know" he tells his
daughter, everything makes me recol-
lect some story" But it was not recol-
lecting so much as fancy. His fancy
clothed every idea in circumstances.
When the illustration had served its
turn. he was Indifferent what became OF
it. Franklin did injustice to himself
when he fancied he wanted any
such mechanical aid. His English
had been learned from the Pilgrims
Progress " and the Spectator" 1t had
the force of Bunyan without his rugged
ness. IL had the serene light of Addison
with tenfold his raciness and vigor. 1t
sparkled with sarcasms as cutting as
Voltaires's, but all sweetened with
humanity.
Many of his inventions or adaptions-
such as "colonize have been stamped,
long since, as current English. But he
did not covet the fame OF an inventor
whether in language, in moral or in
clared foe to innovation. Writing to
Noah Webster, in 1889, he protests
against the new verbs notice"
advocate =" and progress" He had
rs little ambition to be classic as to be
an innovator in English. He wrote be-
cause he had something at the moment
! to say, with view to procuring that
something should at the moment be
done.-Edinbur0 ReUisaO.

Debilitated Digestion.

In the "Memoirs of Count Segur'
there is the following ane cdote: my
mother, the Countess de Segur, being
asked by Voltaire concerning her health,
told him that the most painful feel
ing she had arose from the decay OF her
stomach and the difficulty of finding
any kind of aliment that il could bear.
Voltaire, by way of consolation assured
her that he was once FOR nearly year in
the same state. and believed to be in
durable, but that nevertheless a very
simple remedy had restored him. 1t
consisted in taking NJ other nourish-
ment than yolks of eggs beaten up with
-four of potatoes and water" Though
this circumstance took place as far back
as fifty years ago. and respected so ex-
traordinary a person as Voltalre, 1T is
astonishing how little is known, and
how rarely the remedy has been prac-
ticed. Its efficacy, however, in cases OF
debility, cannot be questioned, and the
following is the mode OF preparing this
by Sir John Sinclair: Beat up an egg in
bowl and then add six tablespoonfuls
of cold water, mixing the whole well
together; then add two tablespoonfuls
of farina of potatoes; let it be mixed
thoroughly with the liquor in the bowl.
Then pour in as much boiling water as
will convert the whole into jelly and
mix it well. 1t may be taken alone or
with the addition of a little milk, in case
of stomachic debility or consumptive
disorders. This dish is light and easily
diQested, extremely wholesome and
nourishing. Bread or biscuit may be
taken with It as the stonach gets
| stronger.

Tie Great Alhambra.

Although shorn of its ancient splen-
dors, the city of Granada still boasts of
much to interest and admire. Its situa-
tion-on an outlying spur OF the snowy
range high above the lovely vega or
plain, which no neglect can rob OF its
fertility-is impressive and picturesque.
But of all its giories, past or present,
none can compare with the great AL
hambra, the wo,ld-reno wned palace of
the Moorish kings. There are within
the city many memories of the long
departed Moors-the great square of the
Bivarrambla, the suburb of the Albay
Gin, the narrow Oriental shops OF the
thronged and crowded Zacatin but
nothing in Granada or in all Spain is
more characteristic of the exiled owners
of the land than this gorgeous world.
renowned palace which so many caliphs
and princes helped to beautify and
adorn. 1t was founded by lbu-l-Ahmar,
the first great ruler of Granada, upon
the site where palace and fortress had
always stood; but the new building
was intended to outrival in extent and
magnifcence anything erected in Spain
or in the East His treasures and those
of his successors were freely expended
upon the great work. One of these en-
ployed such vast resources for the pur-
pose that he was commonly supposed
to be an alchemist, who relied upon the
occult sciences to supply himself with
silver and gold.
Under such continuous and extraor-
binary efforts the Alhambra became q
marvel of splendor. Its architecture is
said to belong to the third Moorish
period, one OF decadence compared to
the times which produced the mosque
of Cordova; but if the Alhambra misses
the massive simplicity and singleness of
purpose which mark the products OF
the two earlier periods, it possesses in
its ornate picture :queness, in the deli
cacy and wealth of its decoration,
charms and beauties all its own.-Pic-

An Obstinate COnscript.

Last year, writes the Rome corre-
spondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin,
there was youth who declared he might
draw the bad number or not, he would
not be soldier; he did draw the bad
number, and still he declared he would
not be a soldier. After having drawn it
he returned home, and there he stayed
until he was fetched by force. He fol-
lowed the sergeant who had been sent
for him, declaring all the time that it
was useless to force him, because he
would not be soldier. He passively
allowed himself to be stripped for the
examination, without helping the oper-
alton by finger. When he was told to
put on his uniform he refused, saying he
would not be soldier. He was shut up
alone in room with the uniform, but
when they went to see how far the
toilet had progressed, they still found
him standing, Adam. like, in the middle
of the room, with the uniform where
they had laid it. They could not leave
him there, as you may imagine, so they
dressed him; he remaining quite pas
sive as usual; but when they put the
gun into his hands he sternly refused TO
touch it, saying that it was contrary to
his convictions to carry any murderous
weapon. In vain they tried to reason
with him; they might as well have ap-
pealed TO stone. hey took him to tho
captain, where he repeated the same
thing, that he would never touch a gur
in his life. "You may do what yor
will with me-" he said; 81 an mo-
afraid of death, but will kill no man =
They put him into prison, they KEEP
him on bread and water, they threatened
they coaxed, they did all they could t
persuade him, but it was useless; h
only repeated: 81 will never hold or ust
