THE COMING CATHOLIC COUNCIL.

What Archbishop Gibbons Says Upon the
s'ihjcct i'm Letter from Rome.
BALTIMORE, MD., Jan. s.--Archbishop Glib
bon3, in II letter TO Rev. b. J. McAIanus, under
date of Dec. 2l says that the national cOun-
Gil Of Catholic prelatcs will be opened at the
cathedral in Baltimore Nov. D, 1854. He
will preside MS apostolic delegate, the purpose
first entertained at Rome of appointing Arch
bishop ScpiCcci having yielded to the strong
representations of the American prclates in
favor of one Of their own body in this coun-
try being designated for the position. The
archbishop rctcrates the statement that 10
action will be taken by the holy see in regard
to the Irish question in the United States,
and no rcmonstrance will be sent to this
country Oh that subject. The American pre-
latCs had an hour and half's interview with
the pope the day before the archbishop's let
ter was written,
The letter makes no reference to the car
dinalatc, and 1t is not supposed the red hat
will be conferred until after the council has
performed its work and adjourned There is
no doubt, however, that the dignity will
then be bestowed on the primate, Archbishop
Gibbons, who has received so many evidences
of the honor in which he is held by the pope
during the meetings Of the American prelatcs
in Rome The cardinalate gives no increase
greater rank. and carries with it vote in the
election Of pope.
ROME Jan. S-The propaganda
has ordered printed copies to bo made
of the decisions arrived Mt during
the conference here of the American bishops,
for their guidance at the council of bishops
to be held in Baltimore.

The lively Girls Of Saratoga.

Well, the girls at Saratoga are nota-
oily bright and yivacious. Perhaps the
intense heat has the same etfct on them
that it does on MISUNDERSTANDING
chem for brilliant achievements. They
are less lazy, with all their Incidence,
than they would be at the seashore or
in the mountains. They get up earlier
in the mornings, stay up later nights
and are livelier at all times. When
this is true with the thermometer close
to 100 there must be q special reason.
An able theorizer explains it to me on
The theory that the mineral waters do
it. He asked me what Byron had said
as to Indictment from catbartics and I
replied that really didn't know. Then
he quoted from the post as follows
"The thing that gives me the highest
spirits lit seems absurd. but it is true)
is dose Of salts. "Saratoga CORES

THE HOME CIRCLE And FARM.
Fashion Fancies.

Belts can be worn with all waists.
They are narrow or wide according to
taste. Deep belts are not suitable for
women with short waists. Silver buck
les are much sought after when artist
cally chased. Young ladies and misses
wear belts without buckles. These are
closed under rosette or g. ribbon bow.
The same bows are on the shoulder and
i'll front Of the neck The drectoire
sash is also worn. It is wide, Of soft
fabric, and is loosely tied on the side.
Silk Jerseys are plain Or have silver
and gold galloon trimmings. They are
i'll light shades, generally Of the color
of the skirt with which they are worn.
They are also to be seen in contrasting
hues. Many percales have cream, put
ty, or gray grounds, with dark dots
Suits Of this material usually have pol
onaises trimmed and draped in various
ways. They may open oyer white bat
iste or white plated gauze chemisettes,
or button down to the waist, and they
are raised and taken back to form a
putting over a finely plated skirt. These
dresses are much worn at the seaside
during the daytime. Young Partisan
ladies have red andrinople dresses
trimmed with red lace.
A revival omanating from the highest
quarters is that Of the locket or pendant
worn at the throat with open dresses
ono of the few ornamen is suitable and
becoming to all ages. Nothing unites
richness and simplicity more than a
glittering diamond pendant or cross de-
pending from a narrow velvet neck =
band anu worn with q clinging trained
evening dress CT pure white lace Or
tnlle. One in black is elually effective
There is promise that black silk
dresses will be ia uncommon vogue the
coming Autumn and Winter. When
good, no material is more elegant Or
servlcable. Tucks, both wide and mar
row, upon founces, kits and bodice.
will be very popular with the palmer
styles, and rich lace, costly sppiiques
in chenille and jet, and paneos and
tabhers Of brocle, with large raised
flowers IL velvet, will make them OK
coedingly elegant,
The silk braidwork, which was so ex-
tersively used upon last seasons street
costumes, will remain favorite garni-
ture for autumn suits. Many Of the
cloth dresses from Paris are severely
made i'll regular tailor fashion, but with
o new departure in the shape Of elab-
crate embroideries. The stylish New
markets and Louis XIV. jackets, with
their perfect fitting and handsome waist
coats which accompany these costumes,
are finished with rich braidwork in
arahesque designs, and in many in
stances the killing which reaches from
belt to hem is nearly covered with braid
embroidery. The back drapery is
wholly untri1nmed, but the waistcoat
collar, very wide pocketflaps and cuffs
are each covered with braiding in de-
sign particularly formed for each sepa-
rate portion,

Broken Bones.

A doctor should, of course be sent
for in most cases, as it is difficult to de.
ternine the character Of the fracture.
But the fracture Of an arm bone, es-
pecially in the case of children, -thcir
bones are not yet brittle, may be like
that of a green tNig, partly bent and
partly broken.
In this case, if the arm can be
Strengthened without much, if any,
pain to the child, the parent may HIM
self bring the parts into place, keep
them so with splints and bandages, and
otherwise support the arm.
A broken bone heals of itself almost
as readily as g, cut muscle. Rest--ab-
solute rest, no movements of the frac
tured surfaces on each other--is the
main thing.
But if the fracture is III two or more
places, or the bone is broken into small
pieces, or jagged end is thrust into
the flesh, the doctor, of course, should
be called.
If the hand or foot has been badly
crushed, inmerse it in quite warm wat
er, and keep it there till the doctor
comes.
Perhaps he may conclude to let it re.
main until the inflammation has subsidized
two or three days before he extracts
the broken bits.
Hot water has wonderful power to
relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and
promote healing. Hands have thus
been saved for quite good service, which
had been crushed under trip-hammer.
In the case Of a broken leg, don't lift
up the wounded person. The jagged
ends Of the bone may badly lacerate the
flesh. Get some door from it's hinges
or something of the kind--and let the
person draw himself on to it, and into
such posture as he may find least
painful. I'm this case, too, absolute
rest of the parts is the one condition of
cure.
Of late years the plaster of paris
oandage has, to large extent, taken
the place of splints. It svastly superb
or every way and with it the person
may sooner be allowed some use of his
imbs.-Youth's Companion.

What a Woman Can Do.

She can say "No" and stick to it for
all time. She can also say "No" in
such low, soft voice that it means
Eyes" She can sharpen q lead pencil
if You give her plenty Of pencils. She
can dance all night in pair Of shoes
two sizes too small for her and enjoy
every minute of the time. She can
pass a display window Of Diapers
shop without stopping--if she is rum
ming to catch train. She can walk
half the night with noisy baby in her
arms without once expressing the desire
to murder tie infant.
She can appreciate a kiss from her
husband seventy-1iye years after the
marriage ceremony has taken place.
She can suffer abuse and neglect for
years, which one touch Of Kindness or
consideration will drive from her rec
election. She can go to church and
afterward tell you what every woman in
the congregation had on, and in some
rare instances can give y faint idea OF
what the text was. She can look at her
husband square III the eye when he tells
her some cock-and-bull story about be-
ing detained at the Office" without be-
traying in the least that she knows him
to be a colossal liar.
She can--bnt whats the use? A
woman can do anything Or everything,
and do it we'll. She can do more in q
minute than a man can in an hour, and
do it better. She can make the alleged
lords bow down to her own sweet will
and they viii never know it. Yes, a
woman can do everything with but one
exception; she cannot climb a. tree
