The Louisiana Lottery has come out vie
torious in its controversy with the United
States Government relative to its use of
the mails in its nefarious business. The
Post Office Department is forbidden by law
to carry in its mails the letters and circu-
lars OF lotteries. The Louisiana Lottery
Company. being denied the use OF the
mails by the order of the Postmaster Gen
eral. began 10 transmit and receive its
communications through the New Orleans
National Bank. The Government then
sought to stop the evasion of the law in
this way. and the litigation just conclud.
ed grew out of this. So important
did il seem to the Administration
that this criminal collision between ma
tinnal bank aud the lottery company
should be broken up. that the Attorney
General went down in person to argue the
case. The United States Circuit Court.
before which the questions Mt issue were

not Interfere with the banks use of the

NEEDLEwoRK srEcIALrIEs.

Very neat and easy to keep clean are
the toilet covers of Turkey twill, bor-
dered with furniture lace.
Good work-bags are made of colored
silk handkerchiefs, edged all around
with lace, with drawstring run just to
escape the corners. A little silk bag of
scent is placed inside, and pompon
ornaments each corner and each end of
the drawstring.
Something new in the way of wall
pockets has palmleaf fan for its foun
dation. All sorts of materials are used
for the pocket from satin downward,
but pretty cretonne is most used, and
if well chosen with regard to tint will
not clash with any other hangings with
which it may be brought into contact.
First cover the fan with cretonne, put
ting it on in flat folds; then make a
pocket the exact shape, either pulled or
in folds, having a full edging an inch
deep at the top, sew this on the fan
and finish off the outside edge with silk
cord or ball fringe. The pocket should
be at least three inches below the top
of the fan, so that the background may
be seen. The handle can be ornament
ed with ribbon or left plain; to suspend
the pocket cord or ribbon is fastened
to the two corners of the fan.
Stylish tea clothes are of pale colored
Roman sheeting, bordered with frill
of deep cream, and coffee-colored lace,
or with festoons of fancy Madras mus
lin with colored flowers, caught up
with the silk pompons matching in
color.
For holding cloaks and wraps worn at
evening parties. crush bags are made
of serge, with q spray of flowers. or a
very large monogram marked on one
side.
Sunfower pincushions, in the size
and shape of real large sunfower,
have petals made of yellow cloth, each
one curled and fastened together like a
grocer's miniature paper bag, with the
top open and pointed, and arranged
around stuffed circular cushion of
brown velvet or velveteen, with fray
ed row of gold-colored silk sewed round
the center, which is studded with pins.
Small squares of contrasting color
such as pale pink and blue. form very
pretty sachets. Cross-way stripe of
silk or satin, lined with muslin, are SC
pleated as to form alternate squares of
two colors. The trimming is composed
of spray of artificial flowers: honey
suckle is charming with soft shades OF
pink and blue, and the sachet is finally
| edged with lace; in white sachet, hall
the squares are Of velvet and the other:
are of ottoman.-Phitadelphia Times

ACE meoicfs ana high military coli
lars still fashionable have made Il nee
essary TO dress the back hair higher
and higher. which is not unbecoming
to rather Hat heads. but must not be
exaggerated, and with puff rising
from the neck. Young ladies also look
well with one or two rolls in front,
through which are put gold chains or
cords, finished ut the side with an aig-
rctte of precious stones, or pearls or a
pretty large flower The short hair at
the neck is generally waved or curlcd
with curling-irons.
Many flower coiff'ures are arranged
with curls as well as puifs and rolls to
give more varied airy effect, as pretty
blossoms, flower. or an ornament are
tastefully relieved by such back
ground. Ribbon and lace head dresses
are coming in more and moro for mar
ried and even unmarried women of q
certain age. This fashion is so partic.
ularly becoming that our neighbors
over the water seized the idea long ago,
and foreign milliners We'd with each
other in inventing delicious, so-called
cap head-dresses, which were at first
exclusively Partisan novelties, but
have spread further, and are now seen
and worn in every country of Europe
where fashion reigna predominant.
Our readers are no doubt aware that
lace caps with corresponding plassrons
and sleeve parements are very ladylike
for quiet evening parties, family din
ners, and so on. When more dressy
styles are required, lace JACKET, with
elbow sleeves, or paniers and a short
hind drapery are added to the skirt
Children and young girls wear their
hair very simply dressed till 6 or 8
years, for mammas prefer to see their
little ones with short locks cut off as a
fringe in front and longer over the
ears; beyond this age the tresses are
waved and caught up or braided with
broad ribbon or velvet 1t is always
advisable to have the hair short in
childhood if we wish to have fine
growth afterwards.
In concluding we would say, ladies
remember that fashion offers you much,
but does not dictate imperiously in the
matter of hair-dressing; do not forget,
also. the laws of beauty and taste, and
what suits one does not suit another,
and even an ugly mode may be mod

In one ofnis Congressional speeches
on the protection of home interests
Gen. Garfield said:
For the present the world is divided
into separate nationalities, and that
divine command still applies. "He
that provldeth not for his own house
hold hath denied the faith, and is worse
than an infdel." And until that era
arrives described by the gentleman
from Virginia, patriotism must supply
the place of universal brotherhood.
For the present Gortsckakoff can do
more good for the world by taking

Can accomplish more for his era by
being as he is a German to the core,
aud promoting the welfare Of the Ger

care of England; let Mcmahon take
care of France, and let Americans de-
vote themselves to the welfare Of
America. When each does his part
for his own nation to promote prosper
ity, justice and peace, all will have
done more for the world than if all had
attempted to be cosmopohtans rather
than patriots.

DRESSING THE HAIR.

How necessary it is for the hair to
be dressed to suit the face may be OBJ
served any day by glancing at the dress
circles and boxes of fashionable thea

balls and evening parties. Do we not
often see charming little head and
visage SO perfectly disguised by thick
fringe or frizzing of hair coming down
to the eyebrows, and back locks ar
ranged with flowers on top of the pate
in such large puffs that the young
lady to our eyes looks positively ugly?
Yet, that this is the fashion, fair read
ers, we know full well. and that there
fore we are not surprised at such eIcla-
nations on all sides as ..Isn't her hair
lovely. heavenly, quite beautiful, you
