KRUPr, the great gun man is said to
have produced a gunpowder which,
among other advantages, has those of
producing greater velocity with equal
pressure, and of freedom from explo-
sion except IN q tightly closed space.
In the open air or in the powder-box it
ignltes slowly, and by not exploding ac-
cidents are avoided in its manufacture
The smoke produced by it is thinner
and disappears quicker than that of the
ordinary black powder.

Radiance of undesirable fat, saws the
New York .Sun, has been achieved Of
late bv number Of actresses; and they
are said to have done it bv dieting, and
not by the use of drugs, as many sup
pose. The directions are simple enough.
and vet rather hard to follow. They
are substant ally the same a recon-
mended by Banting, the Englishman
who reduced his weight from 2Oi to lot
pounds in SIX months. and then pub
lished his experience for the guidance
of others afflicted by corpnlence. The
system consists in abstinence from food
that contains starch or sugar. This
excludes bread, butter, milk. potatoes,
beer and all the preparations into
which sugar enters. Unfortunately for
this purpose, women almos. invariably
have sweet teeth; but they cannot part
with ther excess If flesh without Civ
ing up sugar. They must consent to
live chiefly on meat that isn't fat, and
vegetables excepting potatoes. The
quantity Of food eaten may he as great
as the appetite calls for, sd long as
starchy and saccharine matter is es
chewed. This does not LEAVE woman
SO badly of as she might at a glane
imagine, if she can only make up Ia
mind to live without candy or pastry
She may drink sour wines or sherry
but no port, champagne or beer, Dis
titled liquors are not objectionable II

FASHION NOTES.

Broad bands of velvet are worn
around the neck.
Velvet ribbons are no longer worn
around the throat with walking cos
tunes.
Leather belts are again much used
with simple dresses of flannel and wash
fabrics.
Tucks and plaitings have byno means
abdicated their lengthy reign, but, on
the contrary, have this season multi
piled indefinitely. Clusters of tiny
tucks are seen upon the founces of
dresses of every description, from the
airiest muslin to the heaviest Lyons silk
and the latest device in nuns yelling
and cashmere.
1t appears that Worth's last idea for
seaside dress on cold, gusty days is
made of dark blue woolen stuff, the
texture of which is rather thin. 1t has
three skirts; the two lower ones being
plain at the back, and red velvet de-
vices are oblique all around. The third
skirt or tunic forms embroidered points,
and is lifted up on the left side with
large red velvet cockades. The blue
bodice is closed at the rise with three
velvet cockades. A blue straw high
hat, trimmed with red velvet and peon-
les, is to be worn with this eccentric
frope
