STYLES IN MEMS APPAREL.
A Tendency to Tightness Shown in Gar
ments for the Coming Winter.
Boston Herald,

A few of the bolder manufacturers have
endeavored to foist certain rich, dark colors
upon the market, with view to having them
adopted for dress suits, displacing thereby
the sombre, orthodox black; but it is be-
lieved that the good taste of the class accus
toned to wear full evening dress will nip
this attempt in the bud, prompted as 1t Is by
the fact that there is less money in the black
than in the deep wine colors. The lapels of
the dress coat are to be made smaller this
year than last, and will be fashioned to no II
somewhat higher than heretofore, the curve
or scoop commencing at the third button.
The sleeves will fit trife more closely to
the arm and the skirt, If changed at all, will
be slightly heightened. Silk facings, either
in full or extending only to the buttonholes,
are still fashionable, the material used being
fine rep corded silk. Black satin is in bad
taste. The dress vest is cut with three but
tons and "scooped' so deftly as to make a
wide shirt bosom necessity. 1t Is finished
round the edge with double row Of grimp.
The trousers are cut straight, made to fit the
leg snugly and are finished with silk braid on
the outer seams.
The Prince Albert coat for fall and winter
use will, of course, be still Of dark material,
blue and black being the favorite colors.
The coat is made TO fit the figure closely.
The vest is of the same material and buttons
to point just under the top button of the
coat. Great latitude Is allowed in the selec-
ton Of materials for the trousers, though 0
dark or light-gray mixture and very fine
black.and-white check are III the greatest de.
mand. Stripe. goods will be worn, though
not as much IS formerly. The cutaway coat
is made almost precisely the same as last
season.
There Is very handsome frock coat, en-
tirely new this season, that will look well
with almost any style of trouser pattern. 1t
is made double-breasted, with either three or
four basket buttons, and Is bound with sew
ing silk army br aid, laid on fat. This gar
ment is very appropriate for walking and is
said to be well adapted for elderly gentle.
men. 1t Is made Of an Oxford mixed diago-
nal cloth. .-
Overcoats will this season be worn double
breasted. There is but slight difference in
the length, the change, If any, being one Of
increase. The tendency toward tightness In
wearing apparel Is rs apparent in the over
coat as in other garments. They are made
to fit snugly and to follow the shape Of the
figure down to the upper limit Of the skirt.
The collar Of the fall overcoat must be Of the
same material as the body of the garment,
while on the winter coat . velvet collar may
be worn.

A Land of the Dead.
Corr. London telegraph.


China, almost wherever you see it, is
land of the dead. For thousands of years
Cinnamon have been assiduously employed
In burying each other. 1t Is the habit Of the
Celestial mourner TO "plant his relative in
grave that shall last" In the north there
are few graveyards; that is to say, few places
devoted exclusively to defunct celebrities.
The person who 10 dead Is placed In
the most comfortable spot which offers itself,
and that may chance to be in the center Of =
field Of rice or OH the roadside. II bis rela-
tives be rich they at once raise q huge mound
Of earth over him; If they do not happen to
have great amount of disposable funds they
put the coffin down in the field or on the
roadside, thatch 1t with q little straw, and
leave 1t till the money for mound can be
got together; or they erect over 1t little
structure of loose bricks and tiles. The
wind aud rain do their work, and so the
traveller sees all over the landscape mounds
of earth fanked by exposed coffins. These
cofins are not 1imsy structures, as in En-
gland, but substantial structures of wood,
made to last, and consequently 1t is no un-
usual thing to count many scores OF them ut
any one point of the landscape Of the inter-
ior. This does not lower the spirits Of the
Chinese. 1t possibly gives them typhoid
fever; but that is another question. On the
stranger Its effects are novel and various.
All the second day of my journey looked
upon graves and collins. They clustered
under the hills; they lay on the waters
edge; they had been carefully placed under
the lee of houses; they occupied all the best
parts of every field. Deceased Cinnamon
surrounded me everywhere. How far the
distribution of graves all over country in
which the principal religion of the inhabit-
ants is the worship of ancestors may delay
railway construction even for strategical
purposes leave others to decide. But
learn that coflins can be bought as they stand
for a consideration, did not buy coffin by
way of experiment, bpt knew man who
had done so, and he estimated the cost at
81 per deceased ancestor. So that II Is pos
sible the difficulty which Is said to surround
the making of railroads In China may some
day disappear.

POETRY.
MAKE YOUR MOTHER HAPPY.

MAKE YOUR MOTHER HAPPY.
Children, make your mother happ
Make her sing instead of sigh,
For the mournful hour of parting
May be very, very nigh.
Children, make your mother happy;
Many griefs she has to bear,
And she wearies meath her burdens
Can you not these burdens share?
Children, make your mother happy;
Prompt obedience cheers the heart,
While n willful disobedience
Pierces like prisoned dart.
Children, make your mother happy;
On her brow the lines of care
Deepen daily-dont you see them?-
While your own are smooth and fair.
Children, make your mother happy;
For beneath the coffin-lid
Ali too soon her face so saintlike
Shall forevermore be hid.
Bitter tears and self-upbraiding
Can not bring her back again,
And remorseful memories
Are legacy of pain.
o, begin to-day, dear children,
Listen when your mother speaks;
Tender, quick, and sweet obedience,
For your highest good she seeks.
She loves you better than all others.
And for your sake herself denies;
Always patient, prayerful, tender,
Ever thoughtful, true, and wise.
Remember, while you live, dear children,
Tho you search the rounded earth,
You'll never find a friend more faithful
Than the one who gave you birth.

The End of the World.
London Graphic.

The end of the world Is confidently pre-.
dicted by devout Moslems to be approaching
with the close of the Mohammedan thir-
teenth century on November sth. Tradition
declares that in the present month, during
the Ramadan feast, the sun shall rise in the
west, the day Of mercy and forgiveness shall
cease, and that Of judgment and retribution
begin. Thus, a proclamation has been is
sued from Mecca, warning all true believers
to prepare for the coming day, which, the
Times Of India tells us, has been widely cir
culated, and has created great impression.
A fanatical pilgrim TO the Prophets tomb at
Medina, Muhammed Saleb, declares that
Mohammed appeared to him last March and
warned him Of the approaching end. There
are twenty-five signs to be fulfilled before
the great day, and some of these the Mo-
hammedans already recognize, the closing
signs being the coming Of Imam Mahdi, the
dictator, with his troops bearing black en-
signs, and mighty wind shall sweep away
the souls Of all who have but grain Of
faith In their hearts. After the Mahdi's
reign the trumpet will sound two blasts, the
dead shall all rise, and the judgment begin.

Tuesday. He was member of the
Walker expedition to Nicaragua in 1857,
and, returning to Ireland, his native
place, was imprisoned for six months on
