Fur-Lined and Fur-Trimmed CIOakS.

Fur-lined garments are made m many
shapes, such As the short visiteS, long
casaques, redingotes and the loose dol
man cloaks, and also in large circulars,
which remain the standard wraps for
carriage and general wear when warmth,
and comfort are considered rather than,
novelty. The preference in fur Innings
is for those of solid cOlOrs, such as the
bCOwn-shaded mink Innings with tails
hanging at intervals, or a whole gray
Inning made of the backs of Siberian
squirrels, or of the downy cainchil&
fleece, or perhaps it may be of the stylish
golden brown shades of the red fox
skins, or black Astrakhan may line 81
mourning garment, while for evening"
the royal ermine is used again: the;
whole squirrel Innings with fine locks
on gray grounds( are now very inexpen-
sive, and are found in simple circulars
as low as thirty-fve dollars, and in silk
pelisses trimmed with fur at seventy-ive
or eighty dollars, though in most in
stances the prices are greater than these
| Just quoted For the handsOmest silk
garment for the street, brOcaded velvet

In unique designs of both large and
small figures, and similar fabrics appear
in eloaks with plush or quilted satin
Innings that have merely trimmings of
fur For the carriage, for receptions,
and for evening wear there are visites
of magnificent gold brocades on grounds
of ottoman, or of plush upon plush in
the seal-skin brown shades; some Of
these are scarcely larger than scarfs
that hang low in front and merely reach
the waist behind; they are lined with
fur, and bOrdered richly to match. For
mourning are many camel 's-hair cloth
and armpre silk clOaks trimmed with
the fine Persian lamb-skin, and either
lined with it or with the whole gray
lining made of squirrel backs; blFek fox
borders are also on similar cloaks. The
high full effect on the shoulders is given
to new circulars by rows of shirriag be-
tween the neck and shoulders. Sicil-

wear.-Harper's BGzGr.

four others, for by fortunate c0inei-
dence several of the richest students
were of the party, and the betting soon
ran high on SO improbable an event.
The challenge was proposed and ac-
cepted in less time than it takes to relate
it.
Our hero. although not supremacy
handsome, had received from his good
fairy the gift of MOST distinguished
appearance, and now approached the
young lady, saying, while he bowed
deeply; ':Mein Fraulein, my fortune is
in your hands," She looked at bim
with astonishment, but stopped He
then went on to tell his name, his ',On-
dition, his ambition, and finally con-
fessed with the simplicity of truth what
had passed between his companions and
himself.
The young lady listened attent1Vely,
and when he had ceased speaking, she
said with great gentleness in the midst
of her bushes, IF bv so small a favor
so much good can result, it would be
silly to refuse your request, " and she
kissed the young man publicly IN the
open square.
The next day the student was arrested
by order of the Governor. He wished
to see the man who had induced his, the
Governors daughter, to kiss him in this
way, as we'll as the man whom she had
consented to kiss. He received him
with the sternness of an inquisitor, but
after an hours conversation he was so
charmed with him that the student was
invited to take his meals at the castle as
long as he remained at Upsula.
Our young friend now continued his
studies with an ardOr which soon caused
him to be regarded as one of the most
brilliant scholars of the university.
Scarcely three years had passed since
the day of the first kiss when the young
student was permitted to sue for sec
ond from the Governors daughter as
his betrothed.
He became one of the most famous
scientists of Sweden, as much esteemed
for his high integrity as for his learning
HIS works will live eternalIy among the
most precious gifts of science, and from
his happy union sprang a family well
known in Sweden at present, whose
wealth and position in the highest cir
cles are justly considered secondary to
their mental and moral requirements

A HeW Discovery.

One of the most valuable 01rs33veries
recently. made by practical men of sci
ence is means of lighting up the hu-
man body with electricity in such a man
ner that the physician or surgeon can
clearly see the field in which he is to
operate. The advantage of such a dis
covery cannot be overestimated, rs it is
a fact, admitted by the professional
gentlemen themselves, that they often
fail to relieve pain because of being COM
PEELED to work in the dark; and when
treating an internal ailment they are as
likely to injure as to benefit the patient
with experimental prescriptions. With
the new apparatus, however, there is no
longer need to grope in the dark, and
troubles of the ear, nose, mouth, throat
and other organs can be so illuminated
that the operator can clearly see the
minute parts. The adaptability of the
electric light that is of the incandescent
order is so apparent that it is a matter
of surprise that man of medicine was
not the discoverer of its valuable prop
critics. The instrument when used upon
the human body may be inserted in
various ways. 1t contains at one end an
objective which forms an image of tn,
part examined. 1t permits of the il
Elimination of the walls of the stomach
and the consequent examination of the
same by the aid of lenses. The light is
very clear, said to be in no way injuri-
Gus and shows the parts in their proper
cOlors.-St. Louis GlO6e-Den,ocrGt.

Jane, Jr., has hair like wheat
Golden in its color,
Only of the two the wheat
Is by far the duller.
Eyes as brown as nuts that fall
In the late October;
Full of fun in jesting times,
Tender in the sober.
Lips that sometimes make you feel
All the time like tasting;
So much sweetness seems sin
To be idly wasting.
Hands-such handy little hands,
Dimpled deep and ruddy-
Just the kind of hands, you know,
For lifetime study.
When the COWS come up the lane,
When the sun is setting,
When the dew is falling soft,
Grass and daisies wetting-
Jane, Jr., stands beside the bars,
And / stand beside her,
Feeling that I'd like to share
All that may betide her.
Share the bad and bitter things,
Share the sweets and honey;
Share her smiles and share her tears,
Share the old mans money.
Little Jumps, fast in my throat,
Please to skip and let me
Tell my love of all my love
That has long beset me.
Oye gods! to loves young dream
What brisk death-rattle!
@'Stop that Spooning, Nancy Jane,
Ard hurry up the cattle!"

A University Romance.

In the great Swedish University at
Upsula lived a young student, a fine
looking fellow possessing great aptitude
and love for learning, but without the
means of living while he wOoed Dame
Science. In other words he was poor,
and consequently had no influential
friends ready to assist him. Neverthe-
less he studied hard, keeping up light
heart through all his difficulties, and try
ing not to look too keenly into the future,
which certainly did not offer him a smil-
ing prospect. His gay humor and his
good qualities had always made him a
favorite with his young companions.
One day he was talking and joking with
few of them in the great square of
Upsula, passing in this pleasant inter-
course part of an unexpected holiday,
when the attention of the group was at
tracted by young and graceful girl,
who by the side of an elderly lady was
walking across the square.
She was the daughter of the Governor
of Upsula with her governess, and was
generally known as the possessor of a
kind and gentle disposition, which to-
gether with her beauty had long since
made her the object of especial mention
and admiration among the students. AS
the young men stared at her passing
away like beautiful vision, one of them
cried out: ''By jove! kiss from such a
mouth would be worth a month in
prisonT'
Our poor student, the hero of this
story, absorbed in the contemplation of
this pure and angelic face, answered i'm
petuously, as if by inspiration; "Well!
1 think 1 can obtain oner'
"What!" exclaimed all his friends in
a breath. care you crazy? Do you
know her?'
"Not in the least" he replied; 'but !
think she would kiss me on the spot il
/ asked herr'
"WillinglyP"
''Willingly."
"Well! if she kisses you as you say. ]
will present you with a thousand
dollars" cried one.
"AndI" ''And ]" continued three OF
