How Women should Dress.

fafl5 Figaro.
Woman, by her physical structure is made to
be draped, not to be dressed as if cast in mold.
Whatever departs from the flowing skirt and
attire woman is no longer a woman; she is rot
q man; she is androgynous-thatl is to say, some
thing indefinite, less troublesome than odiouS
This usurpation, while abolishing the sex, also
commits the error of putting into prominence
those charms which a slight indication would
render more desirable, of brutally offering that
which tact would leave to be wished for. and of
making that easy prey which should be a
slow conquest full of delicious episodes. In a
word, as modern moralist says, woman's great
charm lies in the suggestion, almost in the illu-
sion. The love we have for her, and which should
be her dearest object, feeds on nothing else, and
the greatest attraction of what we see is what
we don't see

New York Evening Post
Little girls and big girls, with silver pins
sticking in their sleeves" and also adjoining their
bonnet crowns, bodices, garnitures, and other
dress trimmings, are a common sight this season.
Pins both little and large to hold cascades of
lace, to drape neck trimmings, to fix the jabot in
place, and to fasten down and hold up folds,
hounces, and loops, exhibited in full array
and in every conceivable modification. These
ornaments are set with fhinestones or croci-
dotes, Irish diamonds, and fine limitations of
all the colored precious stones and also in the
same designs in jet, gold, steel, and irridescent
metal these patterns and devices showing heads
of owls, spiders, lizards, green and gold katy
dds, moths, wasps, locusts, rubyeyed darn
ing needles" June bugs, and the like. Some of
these ornaments are very beautiful and ex-
pensive, and the handsomest are chosen to dec
crate the couture in full evening dress, being
mounted in fine gold and set with brilliant
stones which flash and glitter with every n'ove-
ment of the wearer. Real diamonds, set in
dagger-hilts pins, and oar-handles, are worn by
the very wealthy, but these shed no more
brilliant rainbow rays under the gaslight than
the new 'brilliants," ard the latter are safer to
wear for obvious and many reasons their pos
sible loss not being of great moment, as III the
case of real gems

Manning Phillips has a we'll forty five feet

get no one to go down in it to finish the work

fearless able bodied fellow. said he wasn't afraid
to go in the old we'll rope was fastened to
his body and he was lowered nearly TO the bot
tom, when those standing around the we'll on
top of terra irma heard a rumbling noise and
were Mortified to see the rock wall and dirt tum-
bling in upon the living man in the depths be-
low There came up faint cry for help His
audible voice invoked the presence and prayers
of the preacher. The man of God replied: IN
do what l can for You, Jimmy And thus com
pletely walled in, with rock above him, below
him and round about him, ne unable to
move his body, but managed to get his hand to
his mouth and push the dirt away. The rope
around his body was cutting him fearfully The
men above thoughtessly tugged away at the
rope, and were about to pull him in twain He
succeeded in getting his knife out of his pocket
and severed the rope that bound him. The men
worked for dear life in removing the rock and
dirt and to rescue Mr.. Poss from his suffoeating
tomb For seven hours and half he was thus
imprisoned. When he was reached he was al
most unconscious, but the fresh air soon revived
him He thanked God and his rescUers for de-
liverance. and said that he went down in that

Par1b Dc AIOnu6.
The Countess Walewska, once maid of honor
to Empress Eugenie is said to have anticipated
Whistler's "haimonies" in her dress, which was
always black as she believed that color showed
off the beautiful white of her neck and shoulders
and the carnat1on of her cheeks One day,
owing to an accident at hunt, this lovely and
ingenious lady of honor was forced to keep her
bed but she received her friends all the same,
and astonished them somewhat by wearing a
loose peplum robe of black foulard SILK, which
showed neck and arms and pillow cases and
sheets also of the same fabric. The coverlet was
of pale pink brocade, bordered with swans
down. This might be termed ''nocturne" in
pink and black, and as an impression on certain
susceptible courtiers, that its fame reached the
imperial ears and Eugene herself went and had
a black silk bed to heighten her own fair beauty.

FASHION HINTS.

H."
Mourning muffs are of Grape, dead silk or as.

The numerous varieties of Oriental and Pom
padour lace remain as fashionable as ever
Large square pockets of Astrakhan or other
fur are seen on the sides of cloth garments
Dark green redingotes and pelisses, lined with
pink or cherry color, are popular for children.
Dark moss green is much used for cloth, vel.
vet and ottoman suits, and also for velvet bon
nets.
Necklets of velvet satin metal and all sorts
oil materials are worn by women, young girls
and children.
There is revival of taste for the delicate
aesthetic coors, and the newest jerseys are
brought out in these shades
Sleeves are not made tight fitting. They are
easily fitted to the arm to insure ease and grace
OF movement an important point of true ele-
gance and correct style.
The blending of plaided woolens with plain
fabrics is again in favor but the combina sion of
plaided materials with the best brands of velve-
teen Is far more fashionable.
Skating costumes will be made of velveteen,
with plain, full skirts reaching to the ankles,
and short, closeftting double-breasted jackets
A little round cane of the material or of fn
and small flat muff finishes the costume
Hoods to tie backs of mantes are being worn
again. and though some Of these are merely orna-
mental, the majority are intended to be useful
as we'll Women with round shoulders do well
to avoid these fashionable additions, as do also
women who are very stout.
The small capote. snug and lady Like, the modi-
fed poke for matronly faces, and the jaunty lit
tie tish-wife poke, with pointed front filled in
with flowers, for the maidens with piquant faces
are the three bonnets which thus far have
taken pest with the majority of our best-dressed
people.
Many fashionable ladies are wearing wide up
right collars and deep, gauntleted cuffs of vel
vet, both black and colored. Some are simply
edged with fine cord of gold or silver, others
the collar-band as well as the cuffs. Lace
may be to relieve the severe line of the
velvet but fashion does not dictate the addition.

My travels bring me into intimate relations
with large number of preachers. Whenever
find a man holding three specific doctrines ex-
pect revival through his lahors. What are
these doctrines! The necessity of immediate re
pentance the atenement as held by the evangel-
lcal churches, the supreme religious authority Of
Gods word Wherever l find a man in whom
these doctrines not a creed, but life, |
usually find revival going on in Il slow or a
swift way. l solernnly believe that it is the
Divine will that should teach the necessity OF
Che new birth III tins life. the necessity of the
atonement III its biblical form and the authority
Of Gods Word. in preciselyihe terms and tone in
which the Bible teaches these truths. When
over find man doubtful on either of these
highest matters usually hnd torpid church,
Or one that may, perhaps, be drifting into dis
htegraton or into some foppsh liberalism
adapted to the wants OF an easy going age. Such
an organization may be called church, indeed,
but it is really little more than a clubhouse.

Chicago Herald.
Talking about prisoners jumping through
car-windows to get away from their keepers re-
marked an old sheriff, as he kept his eye on two
men who were handcuffed together and occupied
the seat in front of him, 'Iet me tell you little
story. About fifteen years ago was taking

thought myself good enough for any one man,

confident he would never jump with the train

him. The window of the closet was wide open,
and it was too plain he had made the jump.

hat where he had jumped. The train went on,
and stayed there, swore in posse from a lot OF

found him-not even track nor sign, save that
hat 1t was always one of the greatest mysteries
to me how he got away. The fall must have
hurt him, as there was a high bank there, and
how man could get away so quick after such a

A Curious Medieval Ceremony.

Charles Dudley Warner, in December Harper's.
One of the most singular and ludicrous me
diseval ceremonies of the season was held at
Beauvais, France, in the fourteenth century,
called the Feast of Asses. The fight into Egypt
was represented in church. A beautiful young
woman, with an infant in her arms, was seated
upon an ass elegantly adorned Entering the
church, the girl and ass were placed near the
altar, on the Gospel side. High mass was then
begun, and the Introit Kyrie, Gloria, Credo
etc, all terminated with an imitation of the asss
bray-hn- haw, or hehawn. At the end of the
mass when the priest turned to the people, say
ing ute, Missa est" he actually hehawned, or
brayed, twice; as ordained by the ritual. And
instead of the usual response, "Deo Gratids, :"
the people he-hawned, or brayed, thrice, in like
manner A Latin hymn was sung during the
mass A translation of a stanza or two will give
an idea of it:
I'm Eastern region
Glanced Ass to be;
Beautiful and bravest,
Fttest loads to bear.
Chorus-He hawn, sire Ass, you sing
Fierce mouth you grin
Hay enough you Ii have.
Oats to plant.
Here he is with big ears
Primitive clodhopper,
Ass as big ever;
Lord of all the asses.
Chorus-Hehawn, etc.
''Now say Amen 0 asst
Here they fell on their knees
Belly full of clover,
Amen amen everi
And away with fodder!
Chorus-He.haw he-hawn! He.hawn-he
