RETURNING FASHIONS.
NrOm CaSSolHS Magazine.

HloHl NdSSSilS MdSdhulC.
Glancing at the fashion books of fifty
and even seventy years ago it is curious
to note how in many points we are return
ing to the modes then in vogue. Moth
ing but short dresses were to be seen
a half century ago; the skirts were just
long enough to show the shoes and boots,
and were trimmed with satin rouleaux
and bias folds. The fashionable colors
were Christmas holly green, scarlet pink,
clarence blue, giraffe yellow, ponceau,
camel's-hair brown, Indian red, cameleo-
pard yellow, mocassa brown, apricot,
olive, peau de serpent, burrage blue,
Egyptian sand, Indian red and violet shot
with bottle green--for shot silks were
coming in then, as they are with us now.
The January of 1928 was particularly
damp and cold, and silk and satin pelisses
were the rage, but, like short Princesse
dresses, reaching to the hem with lace
cape over the shoulders. These pelisses
were also worn in the evening, cut low in
the neck, and showed robings Of white
satin in front Shawls and scarf shawls
were coming in also, and feather trim
mings found special favor The hats worn
were large, and dress hats were adopted
with full evening dress made of satin and
gauze, with blonde lappets and plumes
Of ostrich or marabout feathers or floral
wreaths, birds of paradise being arranged
inside and out. They were placed far
back on the head. 1t is to be hoped that
we shall not readopt anything so startling
as hat OF paradise yellow, lined with
crimson velvet, trimmed with white puff
fings and yellow ribbon, brocaded black,
as worn by belle Of that day. There is
much to learn in avoiding follies. Our
dresses have of late clung closely to the
figure, but have never as yet attained the
scantiness of those times. The skirts
were always scanty as well as short, and
trimmed often with one or two gathered
hounces, scalloped at the edge, surmount-
ed by one or two rows of straight satin
rouleauX; The bodices full and banded,
the sleeves large and pulled. Such bod
! ices and pulled sleeves are coming in again
as well as short dresses for evening, which
may, and very likely will, resolve them
selves into short princesses, not unlike
pelisses.

CANADIANS GONG TO THE WEST

CANADIANS GONG TO THE VEST
Not only the newly-arrived immigrants
are Westward bound but our French Can
adams are leaving at the rate ofsixty and
seventy day. The Grand Trunk Rail
way ticket Office, in St. James street, has
been crowded recently with parties, who
pay, on the average, $25 each for their
passage to the States of Michigan and Col
orado, while some are destined for distant
places in California. Fifteen cars laden
with passengers from the New England
States left Bonaventure Depot yesterday
morning for the Western States. Railway
men say the exodus commenced earlier
this year than in former years, and the
numbers are increasing daily. Not only
are the young men-the bone of the sinew
of our country-leaving, but many of
them are accompanied by their aged par
ents and young brothers and young sis
tiers. A larger numbers of mechanics,
chiefly carpenters, who have been receiv-
ing starvation rates of wages in this city
for some time back, are being engaged to
Colorado and other places to prepare lum-
Der, ETC., for new railways. They are
guaranteed work for six months at remun-
erative rates in comparison to what they
have been receiving here. One of those
employed was heard to say yesterday:
81 am going now, never to return, hope.
[ had to work and find myself with tools
for from rs cents to ST. a day, and not
enough work even at these prices .

CRUSHED BY THE STORM

CHICAGO, April ia Daily News
special says the town Of Marshfeld, Mo-,
was totally destroyed by storm; rs peo-
pie were killed and 200 injured. viii
send further particulars when received.
ST. LOUIS, April 19.-Reports have
been received that nearly the whole town
of Marshfiel,l, No, was blown down by
terrific wind storm last evening and then
burned, resulting in frightful loss Of lie.
The telegraph wires are all down, and
nothing direct from the scene of the Gala
nifty can be obtained at present, but the
facts will be got at the earliest moment
possible.
From passengers who have passed
through Marshfield on the St. Louis and
San Francisco railroad at 80 O. clock last
night few facts concerning the terrible
disaster are CLEANED. A man who came
to the depot at the edge Of the town
while the train was there reported that at
$50 O'Clock furious hurricane struck
the place and leveled all that part Of the
town lying west of the centre square fat
to the ground The debris Immediately
took fire in several places, and flames
could be seen at some half dozen points
by the passengers on the train. Forty
dead bodies had been taken out and
many more were supposed to be buried
in the ruins or burned up. There were
also many missing still imprisoned in the
debris of fallen buildings. All the ply
sicians of the town were killed ex-
cepting two, and there was more need
of doctors tn attend the wounded
of whom it is said there were 200.

WHO FIRST DREW DOWN THE
LIGHTNING.

The history of the lightning-conductor
extends over but brief period of time.
1t is ordinarily dated from the memorable
evening when Benjaman Franklin, ac-
companicd by his eldest son, succeeded
in the bold experiment Of drawing light
ming from the clouds down the conductor
afford by the wet string of the silken
kite. 1t is remarkable that Mr.. Anderson
does not refer to that which converted the
first failure into the subsequent success,
namely, the wetting Of the kite-string by
the thunder-shoWer. Eut we cannot help
contessng a sort of satisfaction, on behalf
OF the old world, in being taught to ante
date this triumph of experiment sagacity,
though only by a few days, in favor of an
experiment made at the suggestion of
Button NJ. Dalibard. At Marty la-Ville,
about Is miles from Paris, on the road to
Pontoise, M. Dalibard possessed coun-
try house standing on high plain, some
400 feet above the sea-level. Here a
wooden scaffolding was erected, support
ing an iron rod so feet long and a little
more than an inch thick. At about five
feet from the ground this rod was connect
ed with an electrical apparatus. Shortly
after the whole was fixed, on May TO-
1852, (55 days before the observation at
Philadelphia,) a thunderstorm came on
NJ. Dalibard was absent in Paris, but he
had left the apparatus in charge of faith
tul sentinel, one of his servants, an old
soldier, Coifier by name, with full in
structions. Coifler presented to the con-
ductor an iron key with the handle bound
in silk, and was thus the first human OBJ
server who drew down, by tentative
means, the electric spark from the clouds.
On May 13, 1852, M. Dalibard startled
the Academic des Science by reading
full report of this first great experiment
made as to aerial electricity-1Ne Athen-

The PRICE OF MILK.-ELGIN, ILL.,,
April 14-An important meeting Of the
dairymen was held here yesterday, to take
under consideration the offer of the Illi-
nois Milk Condensing Company for milk
for the coming six months, according to
the usual custom. The prices offered are
as follows: Eight cents per gallon in
May, cents for June, July and August,
7 cents for September, and s cents for Oc-
tober This is an average Of 6 Sc cents
per gallon for the half year, and is fully
80 per cent. less than the dairymen will
accept They adopted resolutions bind
ing themselves not to sell milk to the fac
tory for less than cents for six months.
The manager Of the factory, which en-
ploys sixty hands and pays out $4,000
monthly says he will close the works on
May 1st unless the farmers accept his
terms. There is considerable excitement
over the result.

GENERAL GARFIELD.-General James
A. Garfield, of Ohio, is pictured in our
White House Gallery to-day. He is a
Presidential candidate without a State, a
county or even a delegate so far as report
ed, but if any Ohio Republican is in
range Of nomination at Chicago, it is
Garfield. OF the many Republican dark
horses, he is among the most likely to be
put upon the course at the last moment
He is a stalwart with liberal variations
on the side of patriotism and statesman
ship, and he is free from the personal OBJ
jections which forbid the acceptance OF
Sherman or Wasburne by Cameron and
Conkling. He has a blameless recor rs
a soldier and he has served in Congress
with such acceptability and skill that he
is now the admitted parliamentary leader
Of the House, and he has just been trans
fered to the Senate practically without a
contest in a State that has many able and
ambitious men.-Phuadelphia Times

A MISSING SHIP.--LoNDoN, April u.
Much anxiety is felt here with respect
to the fate of the Atalanta training ship.
She carries eleven officers and 300 young
seamen. Her commander is Captain Stir
ling. She is sister vessel of the Eurydice
which foundered off the Isle of Wight in
the spring of 1878, having on board 1926
officers and seamen, of whom 270 were
young men in training, twenty officers
and the rest invalids, time expired men
and court-martialed prisoners on their
way home from Burmuda The Atalanta
was last seen at Burmuda on January 20,
and is therefore seventy-three days out.
She was expected at Portsmouth some
weeks ago. She had water for sixty days.
The channel feet have been ordered to
search for her in Bantry Bay, and instruc-
tons have been sent to Gibralter direct
ing the steamship Wye to call at the Az
ores on her way home for possible tidings
of the missing vessel. 1t is thought that
if she had put into the Azores, as was
thought probable, the news would have
been received by this time.-New York

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton Of DIR. A. Boschee, celebrated
German physician, and is acknowledged
to be one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds, and all lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does. the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an expert
mental medicine, but has stood the test
OF years, giving satisfaction in every
case, which it's rapidly increasing sale
every season confirms. Two million
bottles sold annually. Beware of med
icines of similar names, lately intro
duced. BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP was
introduced in the United States in
1868, and is now sold in every town
and village in the civilized world.
Three doses will relieve any ordinary
cough. Price, 70 cents Sample bot,

THAT ATTEMPTED JAIL BBEAk.


Some time ago, it win he remem-
bered, C. w Hymer attempted to
break Jail. The irons with which his
legs were mauicled were cut i'll two
the door of his cell was pried open, and
he had but one layer Of brick to remove
from the jail wall, above where it is
lined with iron, when the wind went
down so that the officers heard him.
It seemed incredible that man con-
fined in an iron cell without tools, could
break open a door securely bolted with
heavy iron bars on the outside, and the
officers felt confident that the prisoner
had help from outside, A short time
before Hymer's death, he told Deputy
Sheriff Davidson that George White,
who was i'll jail at the time for BRAN
dishing deadly weapon and endanger-
ing the lives OF citizens of Paradise,
helped pry the cell door open with an
iron bar, and otherwise assisted him in
his attempt to break Jail. The most
remarkable thing about this is that
White was the principal witness against
Hymer, and tina. his testimony con-
vcted him Of murder in the first degree.
