A Widows Dress.

New York Evening Post
very elegant evening dress, lately worn
by a young widow III this city, was COM
posed of dead-black mourning satin de Lyon,
made in princess style, with a court train
falling in superb unbroken folds from the
waist. Around the foot of this train was a
double box-pleating about eight inches deep
of black India silk gauze with handsome
jet ornament covered with sparkling cut jet
pendant set between each full pleating.
Down the front OF the dress from the throat
to the skirt KEN, was laid tablier, formed
of pleatngs of the black gauze-having
the F'blouse'' effect over the bust-curving
narrowly at the belt. and enlarging into
panels below the waist. Down the center
of each OF these panels were set at intervals
a number of magnificent cut jet medallion
ornaments of rare design and value. Special
Jet ornaments were placed upon the short
elbow sleeves, and Vandyke collar, COW
cred with a scintllating mass of jet work,
half covered the shoulder of the fair lady.
The effect of this jet garnture in the gas
light was exceeding beautiful. A large
Portia fan of pale mauve feathers, and a
pair of Louis XIV SANDALS of black satin,
embroidered in jet, and worn over pale
mauve silk stockings. with dressed kid gloves
of shade to match, completed a costume at
once striking and recherche.

Caring for the BabieS.

"Why Few People Live to Grow Old"
was the subject OF recent lecture Of a
physician in Baltimore, in which he
pointed out the manner i'll which the
most Of us are handicapped from the
very start in life.
He shows that while one hundred
years is the terminus to be expected
from the organization of man, vet only
one in four thousand reaches it. OF these
there are more women than men, more
foreigners than natives, more cOlorcd
than white. The average Of life in this
country is less than forty, which, after
allowing for cpidcmics, casualties, etc
is still unrcasonably low. In speaking
of the care of infants, he would not
recommend the Spm tan practice of put
ting baby uTt of doors over night to
sec if 1T il robust enough to live until
morning.
Cold is very trying to young children,
and the positive cru lty of mothers in
allowing, for fushion's sake, the legs Of
children TO be lightly clothed in winter,
was earnestly cOnd mnrd. When child
Is III bed 1t IL not enough to depend on
bed clothing for Warmth; no am0nnt of
cold clothing will make hrat it will SIM
ply cOriinG the amount Of animal heat al
ready in the body. If child is put to
bed cold it may stay cold, although I'M
der pines Of clOthimg The ri Int way is
to have artificial heat III the room, not
only for its own warmth, but to rlnkc it
easy to lower the windows and let into
the lungs of the sleeper the oXygcn-bcnr-
ing fresh mir, which sh"ll tUY!! :" heat III
the body itself.
Take child in ordinary health opt of
doors every good day, even in mid-wim
ter; even an infant in the first month Of
it's life, wrap up carefully, and don't keep
| out too long.
The best sort of warmth is that which
comes through exercise, not kept mp too
long The food for babies is milk, and
nothing else. The theory of adding wa
ter is now almost wholly abandoned,
said the speaker, except 10y milkmrn.
But above all things the milk used by al
infant should be kept as fresh as posi-

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
Items for Those who Contemplate GoInS
Into Banking. ~.


In the course of five years the paid
notes OF the Bank Of England amount to
U,I45, OOO in number, and thew filI
!!3;4O0 boxes, which if placed side by
s;dc would reach two md one-tbird miles
II the notes wero placed in q pile thew
would reach to height of five and two
thirds miles, or If joined end to end thew
would form q ribbon 12 ,445 miles lonG
Their superficial extent Is said tn 10
rather less than that OF HYDE Park
They weigh over ninety and two-thirds
tons, and their original value was over
&1,750, ,626, 600. The greatest Of rogues
might be inclined to find some comfort
i'll the extent and intricacy of suoh q
store of old paper. Of course, however,
they are most systematically arranged,
and any note Of the seventy seven
millions may be pounced upon with the
utmost celebrity and precision. At the
end of five years these old notes are
thrown into furnace specially con-
structcI for the purpose, and burned.
1t lN n curious fact, however, that 80 firm
IN texture Is The paper Of a genuine Bank
CT Engiand note that burning alone can
hardly destroy it. The auth rites have
i'll n little glazed frame the remnants of
note which was in the great fire of
ChicNgo. Though ccmplet, ly churred
and black, the paper still holds together.
and the printing of the note is said to be
sufficiently lcSible to establish it's
grnlincness and to warrant its being
cashcd.
lhcre are some other notes here which
were cNshcd after having gone down with
the Eu'ydice few years ago, and re-
duccd to little better than pulp. Indeed,
the scraps, and fragments Which some
times come into the bank to he cashed
have really ridiculous appearance. On
tho occasion of recent visit, for in
stance. the officials had under cxamina-
ton number of fragments Of discolored
paper, none much bigger than six
pence, and when put together presenting
to the unskilled eye not the slightest
res, mhlnnce to note. And vet it was
pretty confidently asserted that the paper
would DO cnshrd 1t is beneath the
dignity of the Bank of England to take.
or even to appear to take, advantage OF
accidents to their notes, and if there ig
any possibility of establishing the identity
OF one Of them, it Is sure to be duly
hoAorcd. Even where q note is entirely
! destroyed, proper evidence of III , fact Of
destruction will be accepted and pay
mcnt made. A lost note will in some
cases bo paid, and there is one occasion
| recorded upon which the liberal attitude
! OF the directors in case of this kind in
volvcd them in loss Of G30, 900. A bank
director declared that be had lost note
| for that amount, and, upon his giving an
| indemnity for the sum iii the event OF
the note ever turning up, the money was
paid to him. Many years after his death
} an unknown person presented the miss
! ing note. Tho paper was IL teninbly
good and the Bank had no alternative
but to cash it, as it was payable to
bearer Oh demand, and rs the heirs OF
the bank director who had lost it re-
pudi"tcd NIL liability, the money could
not be recovered.
