A MORBID citizen of st. Louis, afflicted
with an ardent desire to possess the two
horses which lately belonged to Jesse
James, has been the victim of q rather
mean but amusing joke. Somebody,
who know his wish, shipped to him a
couple of worn-o street-car horses, for
which he cheerfully paid fancy price.
The poor beasts, in the course Of their
arduous lives, had encountered more
than their full share of the sling and
arrows OF outrageous fortune, ana were
IN sorry condition when they reached
St. Louis. But they were beautiful in
the eyes of their owner, and he exulted
exceedingly over his purchase until some
sympathetic friend informed him that he
had made fool of himself.

THE Chicago Tribune relates how Nj
agara Falls are to be utilized as an cleo
trio apparatus. 1t says
The preliminary step has been the purchase
of the twelve acres known as Prospect Park,
adjacent to the falls, which substantially gives
the purchaser the control Of the water-pow3r Of
the entire American falls, estimated at 2,0O0,-
900 horsepower, or ten times the amount Of
steam-power in Chicago and all the rost Of
Cook County--a force equal to that Of 10000
900 men. The control of this prodigious
power having been obtained, it is Iro-
posed to erect immense buildings and ponder
Gus machinery upon the brink Of the falls,
where the water can be easily reached, "to be
returned after use." After generating the
electricity by this unlimited hydraulic force, il
is to be conducted through properly insulated
cases to sixty-ive prominent American ci.ies
and towns for illuminating purposes, and il
aso to be used for operating machinery and
ultimately for heating purposes, Altogether
there will be ten thousand miles OF copper
cables with machinery to correspond.

Old green with brown or red forms a

Old green, old Sevres blue and old
rouge are among the new shades for au-
tumn goods.
India cashmere camel's-hair will re-
main in favor, Notwithstanding the re-
vival of the repped WOODEN goods.
Gathered null sun bonnets, with bows
of ribbon on the crown, are worn in the
country by ladies and children alike.
A row of short thick curls is added to
the low English coiffure worn by ladies
who have spent the summer in Europe.
A white seagull is q stylish ornament
for trimming the large new felt hats
that have brims of the most exaggerated
size.
Polonaises are revived for early au-
tumn wear, and are made with paniers,
or without, as the wearer's figure may
require.
Buckles of old silver are being used to
trim oyerdresses and slippers. They
are placed in the straps of bows OF satin
or velvet ribbon.
Much of what is called fcelle lace is
merely white Spanish lace colored in the
fax gray ecru shades that are called
fcelle colors.
Feather turbans and straw hats with
velvet crowns. worn with cheviot or
cashmere suits. are admirably adapted
for the cool days of fall.
Amazon cloth and Henrietta cloth that
is heavily twilled are the two woollen
stuffs that will be most used for the next
seasons dresses.
summer satines are repeated on the dark
everyday winter dresses.
Silk mitts for autumn are "solid, that

reds,and in electric blue and seal brown.
Vatican overdresses are in great favor
with young ladies'. The large fold at
the back, which is the principal feature
of the dress, is caught up below the
waist to form drapery.
At present the preference is for plain

A WIFE, MISTAKE.

Mrs. Hopgcod prided herself ON being
one of the best housekeepers. She was
one of those rapid housewives who pur-
sues an atom of dust as hunter might
pursue a stag. No blood-natured fly
ever dared to buzz within her dainty
walls. No cat purred on her hearth
stone. Plants were tabooed because their
leaflets would fall. Canary birds were
ruthlessly excluded lest they should
scatter seed. Sunshine was excluded as
on arch-enemy. "It brings flies and
fades the carpets" said Mrs. Hopgood.
As for Mr.. Hopgood and the children,
they lived mostly in the kitchen.
ST can't have the boys muddy boots
tramping over the carpets, and the girls

good. ''As for Hopgood, I don't care

in the kitchen.
