TREY HAVE COME BACK AGAIN.

Fashion seems to have the regulation of
an exact science. When an inventor hits
upon some lucky project to add comfort
and convenience to the human race some
finishing genius will come along and per-
feet the invention by the addition of little
contrivances that enhance it's value mate
rally. So it is with the fashions pre-.
scribed for ladies'. Among the most de-
liehtfuf attractions for the eye is the new
hosiery in silks and lisle-thread, beauti.
fully embroidered and decorated. A
shapely limb encased by one Of these skill.
fully woven articles of secluded wear pre-.
sents a contour and curve as fascinating as
poets dream, and is infinitely more
tangible. But had fashion not come to the
rescue, ladies might have worn these
devices under the close-6tting dresses Of
year ago, and an art-Yorshiping world
been quite oblivious to the fact. But
the modistes know thing or two,
and with the advent of richly eolored hose
comes the mandate that "tilters," or
petite crinolines are in order again. So
these hoops are worn as an abettor OF the
stockings. A lady has but to don her
handsomest hose and buckle on her crino-
line, and the panorama is in shape for exhi-
bition. A lady no sooner sits down than
the tilter, most intractable arrangement
of stiff wire and braces, gently lifts the
point of her dress a convenient number OF
inches to permit very distinct view Of the
bewildering color beneath. OF course the
lady is serenely unconscious Of the expose,
and is happily unmindful that every time
she is scrouged by some one sitting
close beside her more comprehensive
range for vision is presented to the explor-
ing eyes opposite. In this way the lady
is permitted to assume the most innocent
attitude Of pensive reserve, and yet go
home joyous in the thought that the 50 in
vested in hose was not spent in vain.-[In-

CURIOUS pARIs1AN SUPERSTITION.

A curious instance of the force of super
stition occurred in q street in our quarter
the other day. An aged woman who had
no friends or relations had lived for quar-
ter of century in a small room, reached
by a spiral staircase, at the extreme top of
a vast house inhabited by at least hun
dred different families. One morning the
venerable woman was found dead in her
bed, and the agents of the Funeral Com
papy were sent for to prepare the body for
burial. They came with the humble bier,
which is the last bed, before the grave, of
the poor and with the simple pine coffin.
Next day the funeral was to take place;
that If, the body was to be carried by two
ren to the cemetery. To their surprise
they found that they could not get the
bier, incumbered with the coffin, down the
spiral staircase. Every effort was in
vain. But communicating with the tiny
room in which the woman had died was
another tenement, which had an entrance
opening ON the main staircase of the house.
The bearers of the bier applied for per.
mission to pass through with their CHASTITY
burden, but the occupants, an elderly lady
and her daughter, refused. Never could
they permit death to cross their threshold
in such a form, etc. The bearers of the
bier then went down stairs and sought the
Intervention of the Commissary Of Police.
That functionary came, and requested the
mother and daughter obligingly to waive
their superstition, and to give right of way
for their room. But they were as firm
in their refusal as before. The Commits
