Fresh Fashion Notes.
New York SUM-
iers are on the increase

New York SUM-
Paniers are on the increase.
Basket bonnets grow in favor.
White dresses of all kinds are worn.
The short pulled sleeve is coming in vogue
for evening dresses.
The Japanese fete in Paris has given an
impetus in the direction of Japanese cos
tune.
In Paris the tournure is growing into
crinoline, and often hoops are worn under
short skirts.
When the material permits, the fop
scalloped into the form of dog too
ing is most effective.
Dark blue and combinatic and
blue and blue and red are ,ular COL
ors for bathing suits.
The Louis XIV. COSTUME and everything
which pertains TO the Pompadour period is
more than ever in vogue.
Back drapery must be ample, whether it
descends below e large pouf or falls
straight to the bottom of the skirt.
Paniers are s ,rt and full, made in every
variety OF she se, and often open over the
middle OF the s-9nt breadth.
Undersklrts are made very simple, the
most frequent trimming consisting of sim
pie plealshg of full ruche around the bot
ton
e oil silk mob cap is the best protection
the hair when bathing, but above it the
arse straw should always be worn.
Single colored muslins, in blue, pink,
ru, apple green and lilac, and trimmed
It'll lace and ribbon, form the prettiest of
slmmer costumes.
The tunic, in every variety of arrange
ment, short in front or low enough to touch
the border pleating of the skirt, raised high
on the left side or opened in front, is much
worn.
One of the novelties in evening dress is
the three-pointed train, and with it the
three-pointed basque, which means that the
corsage ends in three points, back and front:
but this is not pretty fashion.
Bath cloaks to put on when leaving the
water are of striped or white Turkish towel
ing, made very loose and long TO conceal the
wearer. They have pointed hoods, belts,
and sleeves trimmed with gay-colored braid.
Bathing suits are now made all in one
piece, covering the wearer from the neck
nearly to the ankles. On the belt of this
garment is buttoned skirt that Grapes the
figure. The single long garment is made of
two pIeces-a blouse waist and trousers that
are permanently joined in one at the belt.
A coarse wooden material like that used
for horse covers is preferred in Paris for
travelling dresses. The make is simple in
the extreme, consisting of a plain skirt with
out founce or kilt, and the tunic is gathered
into few natural folds, but without trim
ming of any kind. The only ornaments al
lowed are bands of velvet AROUND the skirt.

The dinner to be given by the bar and cit
liens of Portland to Hon. William W.
Thomas, Jr., at the Preble House this eve-
ming, has been for several days a topic of
much interest in the conversations about
town. The arrangements have been care
fully made by competent committee, and
there is every prospect that the occasion
will be pleasant and memorable one to all
participating. Several, who would other
wise be present, are out of the city, but they
have taken pains to testify their hearty ap-
probation of this compliment to Mr.. Thomas.
Gen Charles P. Mattocks will preside, and
several of our prominent citizens are ex-
pected to contribute to the eloquence of the
festive hour.

The finding in London of the original Or
derby book of Sir William Howe for the pc
Rod when he commanded the troops in Bos.
ton is piece of good fortune upon which
all students of our revolutionary history may
congratulate themselves, especially all who
do not find their pet theories contradicted
by its revealings. AS curious as that the
book should be discovered at all after SO
many years, is the circumstance that it was
discovered by an American. The Boston
Advertiser has the only copy of the proofs
of this valuable book which have
yet come to this country, and
an article from that paper, which is re-
printed in this, gives an interesting report
of some of the points upon which this old
record throws a new light

The murderous attack upon Mr.. Edmund
Dana night before last shows that there are
in the city criminals of bold and desperate
quality who should be sharply looked after.
The weapon used, bar of iron covered
with canvas, was very dangerous one, and
Mr.. Dana's escape was piece of singular
good fortune. 1t is reported that lady
in the vicinity says she saw the assailant
with three companions rush through her
yard when escaping. Four men, then,
were concerned in this attempt at highway
robbery. Such a group of conspirators
against the peace and order of the city ought
not to have met in SO public place and got
away after making an assault without at
tracing the attention of others. The fire.
quency of burglaries and attempts at bur-
glary of late would indicate that the city is
infested by gang of scoundrels whom the
authorities should be active TO spot and keep
under surveillance.

Has been more destructive to human health
and life than war, pestilence and famine
combined" So said a distinguished writer
many years ago, and it is as true to-day as
then. The poor victim of Blood Disease is
drugged with Mercury to cure the malady,
and then dosed with Iodides to cure him OF
the Mercurial Poisoning; but instead of any
relief, the first breaks down his general
health and makes him a cripple and the
other ruins his digestive organs To hose
afflicted in this way Swift's Specific is the
greatest boon on earth, and is worth more
THAI its weight in gold. 1t antidotes this
Mercurial Poison, tones up the system, and
brings the sufferer back to health and hap
piness. Every person who has ever been
salivated should by all means take thorough
course of this remedy.

Darwin's Last DAYS.
Prof. Wallace In the January Century.

Prof. Wallace In the January Century,
None of Darwin's works has excited
greater interest or more bitter CONTROVERSY
than that on man; and the correction Of the
numerous reprints, and Of n final enlarged
edition In 1874, was found 10 he SO laborious
task as TO convince him that any such ex-
tensive literary works as those projected and
announced six years previously must be
finally abandoned. This. however, by 40
means implied CESSATION from work. Obser
relaxation of Darwin's life, aud he how con.
tinued aud supplemented those researches
on plants we have already referred 10. A
new edition Of All earlier work on the
"Movements Of Climbing Plants" appeared
in 1875; thick volume on "lnsectivorous
Plants" in the same year; "Cross and Self
Fertilization" in 1876 the Forms Of
Flowers In 1877; the movements Of
Plants" embodying much original research,
In 1880; and his remarkable little book OH
'Earthworms" in 1881. This last work Is
highly characteristic of the author. In 1887
he had contributed to the Geological Society
short paper on the formation of vegetable
mold by the agency of worms. For more
than forty years this subject of his early
studies was kept in view; experiments wern
made, in one case involving the keeping
field untouched for thirty years-and every
opportunity was taken Of collecting facts and
making fresh observations, the final result
being to elevate one of the noblest and most
despised Of the animal creation to the posi-.
tion Of an important agent In the preparation
of the earth for the use of the highest ami
mails and of man.

About Spelling,

spell only $50 Of them right. She steers
clear Of the rest. She can't learn any more.
So her letters always consist Of those con-
stantiy recurring $50 words. Now and then
when she finds herself obliged TO write upon

other words, she-well, she don't write upon
that subject.

much dlspleased with the determination of
the Senate to sit daily until p. m, as he

he was President pro tenn. of the Senate,

was making long speech, Mr.. Wade sat
quiet until IL was 4 o'clock, when he said:
"Will the Senator from Kentucky suspend
his remarks for the introduction Of a

DimpIes Made to Order.

case full CT bottles, washes and wigs, and a

man In velvet cut-away coat, aud whose
face wore complacent smirk. bashfully

my disbelief In bis ability to produce the
necessary article. Whereupon he convinced
me by practice.
This is how 1t was done: My arm being
bare and the exact spot indicated, he placed
q small glass tube, the orice of which was
extremely small, upon the spot. This tube
had working within it piston, and was SO
small that when the handle was drawn up
the air was exhausted frem the tube and IL
adhered to the flesh, raising slight protub-
erance. Around this raised portion the
operator daintily tied bit Of scarlet silk,

justed SO as to depress the exact center of
the cut. Then he told me to go away and
not touch the spot until the next day. When
came at that time he dressed my arm again,
and this operation was repeated for five days,
when the wound was healed. The silver
cone was removed, and sure enough beneath

on which William Penn first landed at Ches-
ter. II has been fastened down by granite
monument erected by the Pennsylvania His.

Club. The monument Is q plain block Of
granite about five feet high, containing Q
marble tablet with the Penn coat Of arms
and this inscriptian: "Thls stone marks the
spot where William Penn landed October
$3.50, 1882" This inscription will. natural

THE EsRTH,s INCLINATION.
Evidence Of n Cataciysm one- Happening
to the Globe.

The Hartford Times, In long review OF
Mr.. Donnelly's new hook, "Ragnarok." ex-
presses these ideas:
In few short, sharp aud decisive chapters,
the author dsposes of the theory that the
vast phenomena of the "Drift" could possibly
have been produced by The action Of ice. no
matter If the ice swept over the continent.
His facts and their application are certainly
impressive. In fact bis book is very original.
"Ragnarok" Is a word obtained by the
Scandinavian sagas, and means "reign Of
dust" or darkness; "darkness Of the gods. ~
The author accounts for all the .glacial
scratches" by the comets impact, sweeping
stones and gravel over the rocks at the rate
of ga million miles All hour" II must have
been an awful blow. Professor William
Denton believes the present inclination Of
the earth was caused by the fall of vast
meteOrite, hitting it on the top, near the
Northern pole, and leaving to-day Its i'm
mense traces in the shape of magnetic iron,
all over Greenland and its shores. Mr.. DON
nelly goes further. He finds in the comet
abundant cause TO explain all existing
phenomena, the fitting of the polar axle in.
cluded. Some big event did occur, appar.
emily; not all Of the existing features of the
earths surface can be explained by the slow
action of time and frost and rains. These
have done much to modify things. But
there was evidently also some sudden
cataclysm or occurrence. A thousand facts
show it; the remains Of the still preserved
bodies Of the elephants up in Siberian ice
are far from being the only argument in
favor Of some sudden occurrence
This author believes that the earth has
been repeatedly hit by comets. and that one
hit us lately-but gently; the mysterious
phenomena Of the great northwestern fires
in Wisconsin and Michigan, aud in Chicago,
in October, 1871, he thinks derived their
awe-lnspiring peculisrities from the impact
of the last scanty remains of Bela's lost
comet; the fires would break out far ahead of
the main conGagration-woods, houses, even
peoples clothing bursting into fame far
away from :he advancing line of fire. Fiery
balls and sheets of flame "came from the
sky" But the ancient collisions were more
solid and terrible. One Of them may have
tilted back the globe on its axis, and changed
Its climate from a general reign Of summer
to what we now have.
