LADIES, DEPARTMENT.



Heavy repped ottoman velvet rib
bons are much in use.
Walking suits of velveteen are rival
ling plush costumes in popular favor.
Black velvet bonnets garnished with
white are unpretending and pleasing.
Angora cloth, trimmed in applique
velvet, makes a rich and admirable
suit.
The large bonnets are worn higher
than ever, but remain reasonable in
width.
Black velveteen is the favorite walk
ing suit of the dressy New York
woman.
The newest linen collars are stand
ing clerical bands with finely en-
broidered edge.
1t takes an artist to place a bird or
birds crest effectively on a lady's hat
or bonnet.
Shirts, when made of velvet or cloth,
plush or velveteen, need not be trimmed
at the bottom.
Mahogany continues good shade,
and the color of blush roses combines
prettily with it.
For rustic dresses the skirt must be
plain, kilt-pleated, and reach only to
the ankles.
Leather straps passing through
buckles of the same, are fastening
many wooden walking suits.
Gold, silver, and chenille cords are
braided in with the camers hair brands
of the new bonnets from Paris.
Fawn-colored silk stocking, worn
with slippers of dark red kid or velvet,
, are the affectation of the moment in
New York.
Prim ruffs are much worn. They
are very high and are fastened behind.
The upper one is high enough for the
dimpled chin to rest upon.
Inside frills for the neck and wrist,
of dresses are three narrow rows of
white crepe lisse in sharpened scollopss
overcast on the edges in button-hole
stitches.
Handsome redingotes are left open
from the waist all the way down the
front and back. The sleeves of these
garments are perfectly plain, and are
tight-fitting without cuffs.
Light silks Of pale sea-green, delicate
pink and lilac are combined. for even
ing wear, with dark garnet, dark blue
brown and royal purple velvets, with
admirable effect.
The elegant simplicity of street cos
tunes becomes more noticeable each
day, Celebrations in dress garnitures
being left for home wear and full-dress
occasions.
There is, unfortunately, no happy
medium in the fashionable fan. 1t is
either extremely large or extremely
small. In the latter case, it is usually
of tOrtoise-shell, point lace or amber.
Buttons are quite an important fea-
ture of cheap and effective home dec
orations. Ordinary pearl buttons are
those employed, and when sewn upon
rich-colored velvets or plush, in fancy
or geometrical designs, the result is
very good.
Plush is now very much used with
everything to combine with other ma
terials for costumes, and even for
pelisses and demi-pelisses, as we'll as
for Vatican garments, fringed with
chenille.

In one of the anti-vaccination tracts
written by ii. ID. Dudgeon, we read
that Jenner, the originator of vaccina-
ton, practiced the art upon his own
son, first with swine-poX when he was
Il year and half old, and later with
other viruses. The son was always del
icate in health, had defective under
standing, and died when about twenty
one years old with pulmonary consump-
ton. 1t is also stated that King
George III and the Commons granted
Jenner 100000 after he had given
them the positive assurance that all
who subjected themselves to vaccina-
ton should be perfectly secure from
death by small-pox.-Dr. Foote's

A Strange Place on the Welsh Coast.

The most interesting point on the
Cover coast is rocky promontory
called Worms Head. They tell us that
sailors who see it from the westward
perceive in it resemblance to great
worm crawling with head uplifted--a
thing they naturally would do if they
already knew it's name, which is prob
ably a corruption. From other points
of view the head is thought to resem-
bic other objects, as a great milestone,
lion couchant, camel, etc. The
promontory runs more than mile out
to sea, and at half flood becomes an
island, the isthmus connecting it with
the mainland being then submerged by
the tide. Its sea-front is some three
hundred feet perpendicular. A series
of strange phenomena characterize it.
There are times, in quite calm and
bright weather, the sea lying almost
without ripple, when the waves Of
the ocean come climbing mysteriously
up the sides of this precipice in dense
volume, surmounting it, and breaking
over its summit in vast cascade. The
fishermen say this strange performance
is the result of meeting of opposing
Inducements, and is the sure precur-
sor of storm. The Head is hollow;
inside is great cavern, very dangerous
to enter, but which has been entered.
nevertheless, by one rowing boat
within on a quiet summer day, and
rowing out again with some haste.
The winds and waves habitually hold
such dissolute revels inside the cavern
Of this naughty Head that boat which
should be caught in there by so much
as wandering zephyr from the sea
would have very hard time of it.
The winds become transformed to flu
ries in This roaring abode of chaos.
Long before storm has really
arisen, the most terrific turmoil is
raging inside the Head, and through
an opening in the rock above-a little
crevice no wider than mans two fin
gers, and no longer than his arm
there rushes torrent of tempestuous
wind, with noise like the blowing of
furnace. This noisy monitor utters
the warning of an approaching storm.
Science has dubbed it the Rhossilly
Barometer (Rhossill is the weather
beaten little village hard by; the peo-
pie call it simply the Blow-Hole and
if ever snakes head should attain such
dimensions as this Head of Worm, its
hiss would perhaps be as loud as the
noise of this Heads blow-hole. The
cause of the noise is of course simple,
and needs no explanation; it has
abundant parallels at many points on
the coast. The Head is haunted by
many wild legend-of great door
in the depths of the cave, studded with
mighty nails, and which is heard to
bang and slam noisily in storms of
terrible shipwrecks, centuries ago, of
proud Spanish galleons, which went
down laden heavily with treasure,
sowing the sands with golden coins,
which men still dig up from time to
time of the ghost of the lord of the
manor, who was stabbed on the shore,
with his hands full of Spanish gold, and
who haunts the Head O nights in a
phantom chariot drawn by four black
horses.-Hdrper.

Temperance Facts and Figures.

A striking contrast, showing the eff
feet on municipal expenditure of the
sale of intoxicating liquors, is made
by comparing the expenditure of two
towns not far from equal in popula-
ton: Vineland, in New Jersey, where
the sale of liquors is actually as well
as legally prohibited; and lonkers,
n. Y, which has l45 licensed drink
ing places, and 20 shops where liquor
is sold contrary to law. Vineland has
about 1900 inhabitants, and 1onkers
less than $1,000. Yankers spends on
its police $S7 600; the police duties OF
Vineland are performed by one Con-
stable, at an annual expenditure of $40.
Y9nkers has police judge, with a
salary OF 5000, and clerk who is paid
$500; Vineland has no po.ica court,
and needs none, The paupers Of
Yonkers cost the town $4,000; Vine
land has corresponding expense of
500.
Altogether these articles of eapeis4e
cost in Yonkers, $50 $500; in Vineland,
$475. Making proportionate allowance
for the difference in population, the
government of Yonkers, so far as these
expenses are concerned, cost more than
ninety ti imEs ~ ~ mlq qclhl as that of Vine,
land. Similar results are produced
everywhere under the two systems.
And this is only the money account.

trast? Vinelapd Baradise coMlHara-

ing, peace-loving citizens to live i'll.

In order to keep boys from bad books
give them good ones. But the taste
should be cultivated also for higher
reading. The lives of great men
should be placed on the table. Adj
ventures and books of travel possess q
facination for many young minds.
Where the taste for reading exists an
aversion to any thing vicious or dis
honorable, may to some extent be pre-
dicted. And readers meet readers,
thinkers are drawn towards thinkers
and thus help is sometimes secured in
need, counsel in perplexity, and SYM
pathy and friendship under all cir.
cumstances. Goods spirits, " says the
writer quoted above, "were exercised
in the middle ages and driven away
by bell, book and candle, and you
want but two of these agents, the book
and the candle" Here we must diff

Our Young Men.

1t has been properly observed that
"to Q young man from home, friend
less and forlopn in a great city, the
hours of peril are those between sum
rise and bedtime; for the moon and
stars see more evil in single hour
than the sun in her wide days circuit"
To most of us and especially those Of
us who by Gods goodness are COM
fortably settled, the twilight hour is
generally sweet. When the days
work is done, the office closed, the
shop shut, the domestic duties all dis
charged, when it is too dark to do
much and not sufficiently dense to
light the lamp, the advantages are
found of those resources possessed by
the thoughtful and enquiring mind.
The evening is enjoyed when the lights
are finally brought in, by sweet music,
delightful conversation or the charm
of good books. Father and mother
should cultivate the tastes for reading
in their children. Money expended
on good books is a capital investment.

and infectious. Feculent matter, pas

now recognized causes of diphthera.

We would urge on the people of
Stevens county, and the village of
Morris in particular, the Importance of
taking prompt and active measures in
dealing with every case of sore throat
that appears, more particularly among
children. In view of the fact that we
have had diphtheria in our midst, it
will he a safe principle to assume that
every case of sore throat is of that ma
ture, and see to 1t that the treatment
is prompt and active. The line be-
tween a mild case of liberated sore
throat, and well marked malignant
throat trouble, is not so clear that a
physician can at all times detect it..
Diphtheria, treated early and treated
well, may be rendered comparative

eases an hours loss of proper atten-
ton has been the cause of fatal results.

Diphtheria,

From Morris TRIBUNE, January 18th, 1882
While this disease is affecting so
many parts of the state, and while so
many have such superstitious fear of
it, brief discussion upon the subject
may be of interest to our readers.
Diphtheria is caused by certain disease
germs, but what they precisely are has
not been determined.
In regard to the contagiousness or
righteousness of the disease the follow
ing may be said, promising, however,
an explanation Of the terms. Conta-
giousness and righteousness In many
respects are synonymous, but there is
difference-such diseases as small
pox are contagious, and are communi-
Gated through the sir as well as by
contact. There are other diseases
which are contagious only by contact,
as the itch. It would be more correct
to call the itch an infectious disease.
There are two distinct modes of COM
municating disease, and some diseases
are communicated only by one of these
modes; and if we desire to express the
difference the employment of the two
terms is convenient. That diphtheria
has been communicated by contact is
no longer doubted, and is therefore
ilsoetious. Whether exposure to the
air breathed by patients having the
disease 10 capable of communicating
it or not is a matter of dispute, but the
mass OF authority is upon the affirma-
tive. The disagreement is explained
as follows: The poison of diphtheria
is species of ferment, and like others
requires certain amount to produce

On Monday morning, Jan. 22d, 1888,
MABEL, the little daughter of MIR. and
MRS. FRANK CORLIsS, Of diphtheria.
Mr.. Corliss was at Little Falls, and
owing to the late storm, the sad news
did not reach him until Monday night.
He was expected home last-night, and
the child will probably be buried to-
day. Little Mabel was a lovely child
and the home she has left will seem
very incomplete without her sprightly
shouts and winning ways. The TRI-
BUNE, with others, extends its sincere
sympathy to thf bcrea>e ed family.

Now she lieth dead and dumb
Now she hears the angels voices
Folding silence in the room
Now she muses. deep the meaning Of the
Heaven words as they come.
"Speak not! She is cOnsecrated-
Breathe no breath a"ross her eyes:
Lifted'up and separated
On the hand Of God she ;!es,
In a sweetness beyond touching,--in cloistral
SATELLITES:
"Couid ye bless Observation-Disclosures
Bless the dimple in her cheeke
Dare We look at one another,
And the benedit on speak?
Would We not break out in weeping, and con-
fess yourselves too weak?
''She is harmless-ye are sinful,
1e are troubled she at ease:
From her slumber, virtue winful
Floweth outward with Increase
Dare not bless her but be blessed by her
peace land go in peace"
