FASHIONS FANCiES.

No jewelry should be worn on the
streets.
Medicis collars are the fashion on
evening dresses.
Girls now wear punches of ribbon
on their corsage when they cannot get
flowers.
The Langtry knot is still the fash
lonable couture for street wear.
Panels of rich black lace, embroid-
cred with jet, are used as trimming on
many black satin receI ton dresses.
The newest handkerc1iefs have just
the fainteSt suggestion of hem, and
are made Of plain white linen.
Black Ottoman and black velveteen
in the new London dye are to be much
in use as stylish walking costumes for
elderly ladies this spring.
The new mutton-leg sleeves are full
at the top and very close below the
elbow; their beauty is increased by
making them long and pushing the
upper part far above the armholes OF
the dress.
For evening toilettes, paste and
| diamond buckles fasten velvet round
the throat, loop up sleeve on one
arm, hold the ribbon of a fan, secure
a spray of flowers on a bodice, and
appear on one side or in front of the
head, with strand of hair passed
through and arranged high, according
to present fashion.

TOUCHING the much complained of
discrepancies in gas bills, a competent
chemist gives the following reasons:
The greater the heat applied for the
destructive distillation of coal, the
greater will be the volume, but the
poorer the quality of the gas obtained
from given supply of coal. The
higher the gas the quicker it will
How, and the poorer will be the light,
since it will be deficient in carbon.
Hence, the manufacturer makes most
money from the worst quality of gas,
and the consumer pays highest for the
worst light. As the chief source of
light from coal gas undergoing COM
bustion is obtained through the car
bon being heated to incandescence in
passing through the jet of burning
hydrogen, muSh gas viii be wasted if
the pressure in the mains be toe
great. and poor light obtained, be-
cause the carbon viii be driven toe
RAPIDLY to become incandescent. II
these be the real causes it becomes .ey'
ident that legislative power must bs
invoked to regulate the manufacture
and supply Of Gas.

THE senate of Iowa has passed a

not deem it any part of our duty t.

Mr.. Barlow gave no assurance
about change in the mechanical de
partment one way or the other
because no one had the
right to expect him to vol
unteer the exposure of his private
business purposes. There had been
and was, absolutely no talk Of the pro-
posed change either on Tuesday OF

Immediately went to work, and

lent style as we have said above. The
people of Austin will judge Mr.. Bar

among them and not by the distem-
pered utterances of these indiscreet
but probably Well meaning young
men. The public will probably feel
as little concern in the alleged Gun
savory character" of the printers who
set the type for THE STATESMAN as
the management does. They have
not a particle of concern in this. But
THE STATESMAN deems it only justice
to the men of the new force to say
that they are sober, intelligent, Pc ace
full, patriotic gentlemen, some of
them men of family: and they have
come here, as has the manager, TO
stand or fall on the merits of their
own acts alone, and they, as little as
the manager, fear either the assaults
of the union or the ultimate verdict
of the people of Austin.
We suggest that the union pays the
people but a doubtful compliment
when it calls upon them and expects
them to obey the boycotting order.
We intend to give the people
as good a paper as there is in the
state, and we confidently expect
the measure of support we deserve;
no more and no less. The democratic
party of Texas, as a party, knows
of the Typographical union
as such, nor does it care, nor does the
or its manager require
any party endorsement from the I'M
ion. We only say to the people
further, that the paper will appear
as usual, and we intend that
no day shall pass for long time to
come, without exhibiting some sub
stantial improvement in some of its

not done so as yet, and we appear in

not at all fear the result. The men in
