How women Put on Their Clothes.


Some of the men about town are dis
cussing the forming of a society for the
instruction of wemen how to put on
their clothes. 1t has always been doubt
ful whether women dress TO please men
or to displease other women. If their
object is to please men, surely there Is
no impropriety then in men telling
wherein they are not pleased.
1t is suggested that there should be a
course of lectures by men mhliners I'M
der the auspices of one of the Clubs, for
as the exquisites sit in the Club windows
on Fifth avenue they declare that "'pon
their 'onnahs" they believe that one
half of the women throw on their clothes
as though they were firing them at a
target.
The most exquisite toilet is certainly
frequently ruined because the wearer
does not know how to put her clothes
on. Now, of course. woman who needs
the aid of such society does not put
her clothes on upside down or wrong
side out, but she gets into them awk-
wardly, and there is something about
her which suggests that she does not
understand the art Of dressing herself.
1t would doubtless help the cause of
good taste if this society would employ
young men. of skill and taste to act as
tutors of women of Gotham in this re-
spect. They should be engaged to call
like the hair dresser. and the manicure
to give lessons in the art of dressing.
Modistes complain of the lack of atten-
tion of their customers to their instruc-
tions.
The fact is that the underwear should
be of size and thickness to correspond
with the costume. The corset should be
perfect-fitting, with ne bones in it that
will insist because Of their strength and
position on showing exactly where they
terminate or begin. nx
Then-when the dress is assumed every
hook must meet its proper eye and every
button must be carefully drawn through
its corresponding button hole. The lin
gerie must be daintily and carefully ar
ranged. the jaunty hat placed as it
should be, and the gloves carefully bat
toned.
1t may be objected that this will make
the lady look prim and stiff. But pic
turesque carelessness is harder to obtain
than the primnsss that appears to be so
studied, and it is commonly said by mod
istes that there never was a neglige eff
feet produced in any part of costume
that was thrown on.
A professional male beauty whose
neglige neckties are at once the adora-
tion and despair of his followers is said
to spend three hours day schieving the
desired effect, which after all is only a
knotted tie, with its ends flung to the.
winds.
1t is part of the worldly wisdom of
the day, that the world judges much of
a woman by the picture of herself she
presents. The grace and elegance of a
gentlewomen should speak in her gar
ments to the world at large.
Women were made to give our eyes
delight,
A female sloven is an odious sight"

A Reminiscence of Garfield.

went up Thursday at $50 o'clock
We had simple family dinner-soup
roast beef, California wine and cherry
| pie, the General, Mrs. Garfield, little
son, and myself seated around the table
We discussed the general questions OF
protection, General Garfield putting que
ries to me which l answered satisfacto-
riIy. He then asked me if I knew any.
thing about iron, and piled me with
questions as to that. After long talk
upon these matters, not once mentioning
wool, / said: "Now, general, we have
talked tariff long enough; let us talk
about the war. Tell me about your bat
ties" told him about Joe (my broth
er) and he told me about Shiloh and
Chickamauga and. other battles. At
Chicamauga he was Rosecrans' chief of
staff. Talking about the character of
our soldiers, he said, walking across the
room and warming with enthusiasm:
"Why, they were men went into battle
inspired by all the heroism of antiquity.
They marched into the fight with Milti-
ades and Themistacles, and all the he
roes of history in the air above them
stretching up his arms. "There was
that glorious soldier. General Dan Nc
Cook; he was storming the heights of
Kennisaw Mountain at the head of his
troops. The summit was crowded with
rebel troops; the ascent was precipitous
the troops had to lift themselves up by
the bushes and branches; he knew 1t
was almost certain death. In moment
AIRY pause in the ascent he was heard to
utter, as ifspeaking TO himself, but in
calm, clear tones. these words from Ma
cauley's lays Of ancient Rome:
Then cutspoke brave Horatius, the
captain of the gate:
To every man upon this earth death
cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better than facing
fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers and the tenn.
Piles of his gods?
And for the tender mother who dandled
him to rest,
And for the wife who nurses his baby
at her breast
"The rough soldiers all around felt the
full meaning of these words, and re.
membsred them. A moment afterward
McCook rushed up the heights, and in
two minutes fell dead
"'For the ashes of his fathers and the
temples of his gods
"And now," said General Garfield
"could man die better?" / have given
you the words, but can't give you the
grand, glowing manner with which Gar

Star Routers Discharred.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-In the Grim
inal Court this morning Judge Cox rem
dercd decision in the Star Route cases,
discussing principally the question as to
the infamy of the crime charged. The
conclusion arrived at was that the crime
was infamous, and the accused should
have been proceeded against by indict-
ment. He therefore sustained the mo-
tion expelling the information from the
files OF the Court, and ordered the dis
charge of the defendants.
The Criminal Court was crowded.
Col. Cook, for the Government, and
Messrs. Wilson, Totten and Shella-
barger. for defense, were present. Mr..
French, one of the defendants, sat BY
his counsel. Judge Cox's opinion was
an exhaustive review of the case, occu-
pying over forty minutes in delivery.
The decision was received with muir
mur of applause, which was quickly
suppressed. Col. Cook then arose, and
read long statement, which was to the
effect that the Grand Jury had been ad-
journed from September 18th, to Octo-
Der Sd without the knowledge, concur
renee, or the desire of the Attorney
General or himself
Such action was unusual, and to pre-
vent the time from running against the
Government the information was fled.
Col. Cook, in answer to a reporter, stated
the other case against Brady. French
and Turner would be presented to the
Grand Jury. He said the statute of lin
itation would be operative again in the
cases now pending prepared. The Grand
Jury is now in session.
After the rendering of Judge Cox's de-
cision, COL Cook said it was deemed
proper be should make statement
which had been purposely delayed until
this time, with reference to the fact that
the case against Thomas ]. Brady and
others has not been presented to the
Grand Jury. His Honor's decision has
been rendered, but it was due to the
public, to himself as Special Attorney
for the State, to his colleagues and asso-
ciates, and to the superior officers of the
Government, to state openly and more
fully than had been done, why more
common course had not been pursued,
and why the information had been fled.
The assassination Of the President oc-
CURED on the morning of the I'd of July.
On the Wednesday previous, at the
Presidents request, he had a conversa-
tion at the White House in regard to the
Star Route cases.
After a full explanation the President
expressed himself fully satisfied with
what had been done, but urged that the
cases be pushed as rapidly as possible.
1t had then been his Cooks intention
to complete the necessary preparations
and present the cases to the Grand Jury
on its meeting in September.
The gentlemen engaged in the prose-
oution Of the Star Route cases say the
decision Of Judge Cox to-day bars only
the case against Brown; that the others
came inside the Statute of Limitations,
and that the cases against Brady, French
and others implicated, except Brown,
will be submitted to the Grand Jury at
the first opportunity.

4 Mouse in Connecticut school.

A mouse came near breaking up a
schoclin Waterbury. Conn.,, one day last
week. Trotting about on the floor the
children spied him, and q buzz of whis-
pers called the teachers attention. "Now,
children" said she, in a kind and moth
erly way, keep very quiet, every one of
you Don't move nor say a work if the
mouse comes toward you He is per-
fectly harmless" The scholars were
very quiet and watched the capers of
the mouse breathlessly. The teacher
had scarcely finished her brave address
when mousey ran directly for her and
began to walk over her feet. This was
too much, and the preaching was turned
into practice which refused to doyetail,
as it were. In short, the teacher scream
ed and yelled with fright. and ran as if a
pack of red adders were in mad pursuit.
The whole school hereupon became up
ToariOus. and the mouse was boss of the
situation. The little fellow was so de-
lighted that he stood up on his hind
legs and danced a hornpipe, and then
skedaddled through the doorway, leav-
ing the teacher and her tickled pupils in
a peculiar state Of mind.

And fair and free her wind-blown tress,
Her fieecy scarf, her careless dress,
Her sweet girl-voice. that bird-like sings,
Her merry laugh, that tireless rings

No daisy chain viii this gay girl

No wreath entwlne of bud or bell,
Though both, she wots, become her well /;
Not hers to guess Of joy or grief

No necklace frames of rowan gems,
No fragrant, fiower-wrought diadems.
No poet she to doze and dream

If small the brook, she'll head her train
And leap it DER and back again;
Or il her boys will but away

Little she recks rents or shreds,
But boldly breasts the bramble bedsl

And wood for fires unhallowed bringl

And leads her troops through nirky

'Tis she has taught those nimble feet
To scatter wide the windrows sweet;

DR.. Atwater says: "The prevailing
opinion omong agricultural chemists for
some time, and one which have shared,
has been that plants get nearly all their
nitrogen from the soil and extremely
little from the air. But there are many
facts which are very hard to explain on
this theory, and am with many others
coming strongly to suspect that plants
do get considerable nitrogen from the
air"

The variety ofgoods we are now prepared

have dozens of styles of cut, scores of
patterns of VARYING and numberless
shades of colorings in all the varied

is useless waste of time to be "look-

nobby styles for your boys. Come d.
rect to our store. We do not show
two or three styles and say, "That's all
we have, madam" but we can show
fifty styles, or more. No matter how
your taste may incline, if you will only
have the patience to look through our

quality and style, but also in that i'm
portant particular, the price; there will
be no trouble on that score, for we have
determined to take the wind out of the
