Death is the highwayman who do

Better a soft heart and an iron hand

Perfection is attained by slow de

However things may seem, no evil

All other knowledge is hurtful to

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.


The geometric style of dress-that
Is, cut up into triangles and stiff forms
lis trying for any kind of figure, good
or bad. Where the figure is handsome
the nearer to the simplicity of bit of
fabric draped about it in soft, clinging
lines the dress approaches the more
becoming. Long lines from the
shoulder to the foot give hight; hori-
zontal lines crossing the figures shorten
the person. Short, stout women should
avoid basques or any dress that makes
a descriptive line about the hips;
ruffles at the shoulder or hips that in
crease the bulk; waists or skirts of too
great tightness, where looser draper
les would give slenderness to the figure
from not defining too clearly the lines.
Tall women who are too slender. may
use the horizontal lines with adyan-
tage, and increase the apparent size of
arm or waist by a surrounding band.
The double skirt is to them an adyan-
tage, where it makes the short woman
too short.

Point-TreHso.

For two hundred years has the mys-
terry of its fabulously fine intertracery
been an impenetrable secret-a secret
most priced, perhaps, among forgotten
arts"
For true point-tresse there must be
snow white hair; alasl doubtless, sor-
row-blanched locks were often pressed
into fearful, loving service for this
almost priceless thing of beauty"
Hair of silvery sheen and silken
quality, blended with exquisitely fine
threads of flax, was the material from
which patient fingers wrought out this
gossamer device of shimmering arab
esque.
Its genuineness could be established
by exposure to the strongest sunlight
when a peculiar, tremulous glistening
was instantly developed. Another
test was by fire; if authenticity pure
in every thread, a very perceptible
frizzle was apparent, but never blaze.
Occasionally in antiquarian collec-
tons one may chance upon stray bit
of this delicately fashioned lace. Among
the fondly boarded relics of noble
English family there is claimed to be
a scrap of the dainty texture, the work
of Margaret, Countess of Lennox.
made during a weary Imprisonment in
the Tower. This memorial Of affection
woven by eyes longed used to weeping,
and with threads of her own white
hair, was sent to her unhappy daugh-
ter-in-law, Mary Stuart, accompanied
by words Of pathetic greeting and as
surances of unchanging sympathy.

It is estimated that the proportion
Of the surface Of the globe covered by
water Is % the land surface as 275 %
100, and that the average hight Of
land or continents over the world
above sea level is somewhat less than
1000 feet The great mountain chains
by which the continents are more or
.css traycr-ci form narrow ridges
which rise In no cas-" more than $4,000
feet, or say about u miles above sea
level, and aid but comparatively little
20 the mass of ground above the sea
level. On the other hand the G-ntour
lines Of the oceanic basins tell very
different tale Of the great submarine
icpressions. The soundiugs made on
he voyage Of the Challenger in the
North Pacific ocean have shown that
Us mean depth is not less than 1900
feet and that Of the south Tacidc
about 1900 feet, while the mean
Icpth Of the North Atlantic is found
20 be 1900 feet, and Of the South At
'antic 1900 It IS only in high north,
srn ATTITUDES, in the North Atlantic
and North Pacific, thS the soundings
give evidence Of shallower seas-of
mean depth Of about 500 feet. Thus
{ is extraordinary how small the mass
oi land projecting above the sea Level
IS compared 10 the mass of waters fill
ng the depressions beyond that level.
Taking the average depth Of the
seas and ocean at 10000 feet. and the
height Of the land at 1000 feet. the
mass Of the land above water as COM
pared 70 the mass Of waters filing the
ocean troughs is nearly in the proper
lion Of one 70 thirty. II is curious
that the deepest sounding recorded by
the Challenger in the North Pacific
registered depth Of about FIVE miles
and quarteT-a depth which closely
corresponds with the elevation above
sea level Of the loftiest point Of land,
namely the summit Of Mount Everest,
in the Himalayas which is 29.O02 feet.
or very nearly five miles and quarter.
We must remember, however, that the
one measurement is that of a mere
peak, while the other probably gives
the depth Of an extended trough. We
may thus realize how irregular are the
contour lines Of the globe, and how
deep the depressions and abysses con-
cealed from our view by seas asd
oceans. Could all these waters be
drained off from the surface. our earth
would present the aspect of a solid
sphere everywhere wrinkled and deeply
pitted. Nevertheless. its actual dimen-
sions are so great that mountains five
miles high and ocean troughs five miles
deep bear no greater relation % the bulk
of the globe than the irregularities on
'he skin OF an orange.

LOUISVILLE, August To-day is
a general public holiday. With the
first streak of daylight crowds of peo-
pie began pouring into the city from
every point of the compass, and by
9 o'clock the main streets were so
full that it was difficult to pass along
the side walks. The Presidential
party left the Gait House in carriag-
es, escorted by body of police and
local military, and moved by the
most direct route to the Exposition
Building. Their way was perfect
ovation the entire distance, the thou
sands of people yelling themselves
hoarse as the distinguished visitors
passed. The great main building
capable of holding 10000 people,
was filled completely, and the crowd
was 200 thick for comfort. President
Dupont, ofthe Exposition, welcomed
the President in a speech. Presi-
dent Arthur gracefully responded,
and concluded by starting the vast
machinery and pronoucing the ex-
position open. The crowd was
wild with enthusiasm. The Presi-
dental party left for Chicago to-
night. The managers of the Expo
sition were most agreeably surprised
at the unlocked for crowds on the
first day.
