health.

"The pretensions of journalism" is

Jew AND STRIKING FASHIONS
New York Tribune.1


Turkey red is the fashionable color
for velvet dress bonnets.
Stripes are very little used and
plaids are only i'll favor for skirts of
wool dresses.
Thick repped silk or ribbed velvet
is used for the wide collars of chemi-
settles and fichus of tulle, silk, null
and Aurillac lace.
Rocco ewelry is the French fancy.
1t has garnets and turquoises, with
heads of Limoge enamel mounted in
antique silver setting.
Black null dotted and scalloped
with red embroidery is a stylish
novelty for gypsy kerchiefs that are
worn pointed in front and back on
the shoulders.
Brocades are by no means aban-
doned for dinner dresses, but they
now form the draperies and sleeves
with plain satin for the basque and
train.
Ivory or cream white lace of large
figures, plated against crimped or
Candle muslin in two ruffies, is a
new frilling for the neck and sleeves
of dresses.
Red brick and Russia leather
shades are in favor for. the loose
wristed Sarah Bernhardt gloves that
are worn with black dresses. AL
mond TINS are now for dress occa-
sions
Pockets of lace and escalier plush
are made in triangular form and sus-
pended from the waist by ribbon
loops they are worn with evening
dresses, and the plush matches the
color of the dress.
Vatican unorping dresses are i'm
ported in exquisite shades ofshrilnp
pink cashmere with pulled BretOnne
fronts of garnet velvet; others of
Hungarian blue have garniture of
bronze velvet. The slippers are of
alligator skin of the shade of trim
ming.
The British red coat, with black
military braid across the front, is a
fashionable overcoat for small boys
to wear over their white kilt dresses.
A red Turkish fez, or a Glengarry
cap of red wool, and dark red stock
ings, accompany this suit.
The English great coat, with
pointed hood or Carrick cape, has
taken the place of the ulster. 1t is
long and simple-shaped garment,
without plating in the back, and is
single-breasted and fastened by but
tons from top 10 toe.
Fur will be used for the brim of
small velvet bonnets, as it is be-
coming frame to some faces. A
group of three small otter heads,
mounted au natural, is an ornament
for these bonnets. The crown and
strings are of velvet dark blue and
green velvet are very handsome with
otter trimmings.
Most fanciful low shoes and slip
pers are worn with house dresses.
Patent leather slippers have pointed
toes, high heels, curved sides and
Innings of pink or blue kid. Low
Newport ties are of the same glazed
leather. But there are also alligator
skin slippers of dark red, light blue,
ecru, olive and plum colors.
Three colors and three different
are found in elaborate
evening dresses from Paris; one of
unique coloring has salmon satin for
the front of the skirt, sky-blue bro
caded for the sides, and light water
green corded velvet for the basque
and train; another has dark green
velvet for the Princesse back, with
terra-cotta satin on the sides, and
schrimp pink brocatelle velvet in
front.

A Neglected Industry.


The meeting of the North Ameri-
can bee-keepers' association in Gin
cinnati last week, has called atten-
ton to much neglected industry
the raising of bees and the.-manufac-
ture of honey. Some years ago, bee
keeping was very popular in the
United States; every garden had its
hive, and every family expected TO
make small fortune out of this in
uustriOus little insect. Like many
other small industries, silk-worm
raising, ETC., it got out of fashion, and
to-day Bookkeeping is carried on in
this country by comparatively few
persons.
And yet 1t is one of the safest, sur
est and most profitable pursuits that
can be followed, and nowhere
more promising than in Louis
lana. 1t is impossible, it is true,
to make fortune out of
bees, and this is probably the reason
why the average American has not
gone heartily into this industry-his
idea of a good enterprise being one
in which fortune can be rapidly
made. 1t is calculated that lad or
an active woman can take charge of
one hundred colonies of bees. 1t
will be necessary to work rather
hard to do this, but this work ex-
tends only through the three sum-
mer months, and there is nothing or
scarcely anything to do during win
ter. Each colony will average from
fifteen to twenty dollars year pro .
fit besides the increase in the hive.
Here, then, is a chance for lads and
women to make an average of from
| fifteen hundred to two thousand a
year, in return for three months
work. There is no danger of over
| stocking the market, for the demand
for honey is far larger than the sup
ply.
Notwithstanding these facts, bee
keeping is a neglected industry in
this country, and is going out of ia
VOr every year. The only section
where it is very prosperous is Cali
fornia, located so far from the mar
kets of the world that the freight
eats up much of the profits; and yet,
California honey is now being ex-
ported TO Europe, where it Is the ia
vorite in the London market.
Louisiana is just the state for bee
keeping. 1t is adapted to this in
dustry both from its climate and its
flora, which is rich in saccharine
matter. There is a bee-keeper's as
ISOLATION in the state, and there has
been considerable attention de-
voted to this industry in the Felici-
anas, Pointe Coupee and Avoyelles
with good results but not near as
much has been done as can be &C.
complished should the attention of
our people be directed to an indus
try which requires scarcely any cap
ital, not much work, and yet insures
handsome profit.

The Independent Movement and
Its Effect.
lSan Antonio Times.l

|
The Independent movement is
having a good effect upon the DEM
ocratic party throughout the state.
While no one has had any fears that
the movement would be successful,
still its object being to disintegrate
the Democratic party preparatory
to future conquest of the state in
the interest of the Republican party,
it has caused our party to organize
as they have not done for years, and
especially is this the case in caste RI
Texas, and the result will be that we
will carry the state by fifty or sixty
thousand. There is now a great reac-
ton going on in the interest of
Judge Ireland and the entire state
ticket, which will doubtless con-
tinue until the day of election.
While Jones never stood any chance
to be elected, the great mistake
which he made was in permitting
himself to become handicapped by
E. j. Davis. AS soon as the tact be-
came generally known that Jones is
making the race in the interest of
the Republican party, he has been
losing strength, but Jones has moth
ing TO lose but his good name, as Jay
Hubbell is looking out for the finan-
cial part OF the canvass, and
even in the matter of good
name, he has little to lose,
as his course in congress had
almost alienated him from all his
old friends in Texas, and as for
Davis, he has nothing to lose in the
way of reputation, and his defeat
can have none other than good
effect upon him. We trust that his
defeat will teach him that he can
never expect Office at the hands of
the people in Texas. And again the
defeat of Jones, Davis and Ochiltree
will perhaps teach the Republican
executive committee a lesson that
Texas can not be bought with money
extorted from government employees,
and such fact will protect them in
the future.

Private HinksoD, a reserve man
belonging to the Royal Irish brigade
attached to the Gordon Highlanders,
bayoneted seven men during the
charge of Tel-el-Kebir, and was
afterwards attacked by three Egyp-
tian officers. A bullet was sent
through his right cheek and passed
out at his neck, but he succeeded in
bayoneting two. Before he killed
the third another bullet struck him
almost in the same place, opening
the first wound and followed a SINH

While lying on the ground he was
fired at again by an Arab, but was
rescued by two men of the Army

dltional injury to one of his fingers.
