She touched bell, servant appear

into the presence of his sire. Instead
of whom the weeping nurse appeared
alone, and with many tears confessed
that the infant Oscar had been kidnap-

that the most careful search, aided by
advertisements in the daily papers, had

to the true state of things. Her washer
woman had got into the wreng room and
taken the suit instead of the bundle of
soiled clothes. She volunteered this ex-
plana.ion to the young man, and he
agreed to escort her to the house of the
offending washerwoman and recover the
property. The house was found after
search, but no one appeared to be at
home. They pounded the door of the
little hut-it was some distance out of
the city-but got no response.
At length they walked around to the
back door, and there in the yard they
saw to their horror the costume suspend
ed from a clothes line, having been
washed and hung out to dry. Ithad lost

but its original size. 1t had been intended
for a man six feet high, and had shrunk
in the wash till it wouldn't go on a small
boy. The colors had run together, and
plumes and spangles were in the last
stages Of dilapidation from contact with
the scrubbing- board.
An exclamation that was almost an
oath burst from the young mans lipslbut
Just at that moment the washerwoman
appeared in the door. "Oh what did
you do it for? Didn't YOU know better?
What did you think / could do with
those things" exclaimed the young
lady. "Now, you DON'T say?" was the
reply. "Ain't they vourn? / thought

FEMININE FANCIES.

Silk gloves are more worn than either
plain or undressed kid.
jersey waists are now worn with all
tennis dresses. Corsets are not worn.
Gray is not so popular as it was a
month ago. Coffee color is superseding
it.
For ordinary house wear the plain
black alligator skin slippers are the most
durable.
The newest handkerchiefs are very
dainty. They have narrow borders in
pretty colored designs.
White batiste collars, white or black
lisse frills, and linen collars are worn
with high corsages.
Mourning attire is made of finer ma
terials than those formerly worn and is
less heavily trimmed with Grape.
Lace stockings, the sole of which are
made of silk, are the latest novelties
They are worn with fancy evening
shoes.
The finely twilled Henrietta cloths are
used for the first dresses worn by a wild
ow, and are chosen at all seasons of the
year.
The choice fabric for midsummer dres-
ses is the sheerest nuns yelling, as thin,
and light as muslin, yet oil pure wool,
woven smoothly to shed the dust.
Cotton goods are more used this sum-
mer by those who wear mourning than
they have been for years, because they
are made ofbetter quality than hither-
to and can be washed well.
Silk grenadine ofsmooth glossy surface
is chosen for those who like very dressy
mourning and may be trimmed with folds
of Grape and with crimped floss fringe,
or, to make it more snowy still, with
jetted net or lace.
Young widows wear very small white
tarlatan Fanchon caps, flat and pointed
in front and behind, and covered with
rows of little puffs of the tarlatan pulled
over a stick to look as if crimped. The
wide white strings are tied behind the
head.
Alpacas and the mohair with demi.
luster, called brilliantine, have come in
to favor again fer travelling dresses, and
for this purpose they are not only ser.
viceable, but fashionable. They are
made up in the severe tailor styles used
for cloth dresses.
The square parasols have not been as
fashionable as was predicted. They are
pretty from an artistic standpoint, but
extremely awkward. A very handsome
one is made of the finest and thickesi
white satin, edged with a deep flounce
of oriental lace, and hand-painted in a
bold and striking design of Jack roses
and theirleases. -

SOCIAL TRAGEDIES.
A Young Lady's Death by Burning that

A Young Lady's Death by Burning that
Recalls Mrs. LongfelIow's Death.
Since the death of the young and love-
ly wife of the poet Longfellow, which oc-
CURED more than twenty years ago at
her beautiful home at Cambridge, scarce
ly anything more tragical has taken
place among well-known- people than
the accident by which Miss Laura De-
lano lost her life. When the worst has
happened suggestions are as unavailing
as regrets and yet calamities of this kind
are all the more narrowing by reason of
their appearing to the survivors to be so
unnecessary and easily avoided. In the
case of Mrs. Longfellow the sleeve of
her muslin dress was ignited by a taper
which she was using in making sealing
wax impressions to amuse her children.
Terror, confusion and dismay followed.
The house had been put in summer or
der, after the fashion of American house
keepers in those days; not a carpet rug
or blanket was to be had and although
her husband was on the spot and nearly

persisted on her own lawn and in sight
of all that she held most dear. Almost
the same tragedy was enacted in the
case of MISS Delano last Sunday. She
was but nineteen years of age and en-.
dowed by nature with graces of mind
and character which were only equaled
by her remarkable personal beauty
While she was adjusting an alcohol lamr
especially adapted to the heating of min

Above the Average.

Apropos of the circumstance of his re-
cent address to the graduates of the
University of Texas, good story is told
of old Governor Hubbard. Not long ago
he was sitting in the office of friend in
Galveston when he happened to pick up
one difficulties school-readers Glanc-
ing through the book he came upon a
poem which interested him somewhat.
He read it over two or three times and
was more and more pleased with it each
time.
John" said he to his friend, "who is
this man Gray who writes poetry for the
school-books?"
Gray? Gray? Upon my word can't
fix the name, although it sounds fanil-
lar"
"Pd like to meet him." said Governor
Hubbard; 81 have just been reading one
ofhis poems, and it is considerable above
the average"
Poem? What is it called?"

A Terrible Monster.

A little pet snake of the perfectly
harmless sort, belonging to the wife of
the County Court Judge, made its escape
and wriggled over the wall into the next
garden. Two domestics who were there
instantly raised an alarm before barricad-
ing themselves. The inhabitants of the
whole row of houses appear to have gone
with terror. To one gentleman. who
prudently surveyed the awful reptile
from a garrett it presented the appear

RED SNOW IN THE ROCKIES.
Explaining the Crimson Sunset Puzzle.
nanyer RpDuhlican.

Denver Republican.
The following is from the Denver Dali
" Reporter of yesterday. 1t appears at
first to present facts which illustrate and
confirm the theory that the red sunsets
were caused by meteoric dust. The red
sunsets of sometime ago have at last
been solved. Our reporter returned this
morning from flying trip to GunnisOn
county. While there he found the snow
on the tops of the ranges as red as if it
had been sprinkled with red peper. Be-
ing supplied with chemicals and a blew
pipe outfit, he was enabled to make a
test and found it to be meteoric iron.
It could not have been a wash from the
mountain, as it was on The top of the
range, as we'll as lower down and only
on the urface of the snow. Upon dig
ging down a few inches the snow was
clean and white. The sun shining
through this cloud of red oxide of iron
caused its rays to appear red, giving the
same effect of piece OF red glass, This
Gust fell over the entire earth, but was
invisible except where caught by the
perpetual snow on the mountain top.
Last night reporter Of the Republican
called at the residence of Professor p,
Fl. van Diest and handed him the above
article to read. Professor van Diest said
he did not think the theory advanced a
correct one. at could not have been
meteoric iron," said the Professor, "be-
cause on'would by its specific gravity
have sunk beneath the surface of the
snow and, In addition to this, the color
would not have been red, as it is de-
scribed 10 have been, but it would have
been more like ochre. / imagine that
the red substance found upon the snow
was the pollen Of some flower which
had been carried from distance by the
winds. This has been noticed before
travellers in the Arctic regions having
spoken of seeing similar appearances
upon the snow. Examinations have
shown it to be vegetable and not miner.

Facts I'm Wheat Culture.

The following are the practical conclu-
sions arrived at as the result of expert
ments made at the Ohio Agricultural ex-
pertinent grounds in 1888, according to
the report of Prof w. R. Lazenby, d.
rector.
l. Winter wheat may be sowed too
early in the season, or it may be sowed
too late, so there must be certain time
neither too early nor too late, which is
the best date to put in the seed.
2 Many factors must be considered
in designating the best time, to sow.
The condition of the soil, and the expos.
ure. the presence of the Hessian, fiy, etc.
must all be duly considered.
3. Early seeding does not secure an
early harvest. The same variety sown
under the same condition will mature
about the same time whether the seed.
ing be done the first of September or the
first of October.
4. Wheat sown as late in the season
as it can be, and still be given time to
become firmly and strongly rooted, and
time to develop leaves sufficient to cover
the whole ground will best endure the
winter.
5. The earliest sown wheat usually
has the largest top and proportionally the
smallest root; in the latest sown wheat
the root is proportionally larger.
q. On poor soil and badly prepared
ground the wheat should be sown EARL.
er than upon rich soil and a well pre-.
pared seed-bed.
z. In this latitude the Hessian fly is
not very troublesome in wheat sown lat
er than September 18th.
8. The best date for sowing winter
wheat in central Ohio is from September
10 to September 80, according to the
condition mentioned above.

Always on the Wrong Side.

William, "and have voted at every
election that has been held since | came

President"
"You are old, Father William" the
young man replied, much too old fol
me, but l don't see how that can be
Elucidate."
Because" said Father William, sadly
II have always voted the Democratic
ticket, and since 1856 that ticket has
never contained the name of President
l have tried 10 vote for President, but
never succeeded"
And the young man resolved that he
would vote the Republican ticket if he

A Mosquitoes Apparatus.
Montreal Canard.


An English scientist had an Ameri-
can mosquito under the microscope, and
finds it to be acknowledgement sur
geon. In its bill are five Instruments
a lance, two meat-saws, a suction pump,
and small steam engine. 1t appears
that when "skeeter" settles down 10
his work upon nice tender portion of
the human frame, the lance is first push
ed into the flesh, then the two saws,
placed back to back, begin TO work up
and down to enlarge the hole then the
pump is inserted, and the victims bloed
IS syphoned up to the reservoirs carried
behind, and finally, to complete the cru
city ofthe performance, the wretch drops
quantity of poison into the wound TO
keep it irritated. Then the diminutive
fiend takes fly around just to digest
your gore, and makes tracks for a fresh
victim, or if the first one has been of un.
usually good quality, he returns to the
same happy hunting grounds.
