A FEW FALL FASHIONS.

Looped draperies and clinging skirts are
rapidly going out of fashion.
Brown, maroon and black are the most service
able colors for velveteen suits
The newest pelerines reach quite to the waist
line in the back, and terminate in medium-length
tabs in front.
White bonnets trimmed with white plumage
will form the dressy bonnet par excellence the
coming winter.
The pretty addition to a dinner toilet is o lace
fchu which reaches to the waist, and ends in
bow andloops Of cream satin ribbon.
Little white frillings are put inside capote
bonnets. They are generally of fine lace and
are very becoming to most faces
There is a return to fanciful outside pockets
on some garments, while those of cloth usually
have slit pockets, braided and finished with ar
row heads
High neck bands may be varied by rolled
collar and bunch of ribbon at the side where
the neck is too long to look well in tight
throat band.
English brides wear pointed Chinese shoes of
white satin, with the insteps covered with
fine rich embroidery in raised chenille work out
lined with pearls.
One of the new trimmings for the corsage is
the half fchu: it is gathered or plated into the
left shoulder and, crossing the bust, slopes away
to point at the right of the waist.
Crescents are among the designs now in favor
for lace pins and earrings, either in gold or sill
ver and rubies, catseyes and diamonds are sunk
or imbedded in their midst with great effect.
A new and simple plan for wool dresses is to
make the skirt with ouble-width material
passing around the figure and having only one
seam, and that in the back, instead of being cut
up in gored breadths.
Lace is an actual craze, and the fancy for it
has at last restored wooden laces to favor These
come in black and white, and in all the new col
ors in the old-fashioned Cluny patterns of the
ell-rememb ered yak laces
Among the richest imported fabrics for bon
nets is the gold embroidered camels hair, made
stiff as metal with threads of gold 1t costs
$40 yard, and is so narrow that but two
crowns can be made out of one yard
Mohair and alpaca are once more used for
school dresses, these made with tucked and
killed skirt, and blouse or Jersey bodice Mother
Hubbards are also popular again this season, and
a pretty model is made of red and golden brown,
crossed with hair-lines of pale blue.
Tucks upon the skirts, tunic, bodice and often
upon the sleeves will be worn all through the
autumn season, with dresses of silk and light
WOODEN fabrics; and later on tucks, either mar
row wide, will be seen in heavy flannel goods,
cloth in flexible qualities, suitings, and the like

EVOLUTION AND RELIGION.
The Georgia Philosopher Evolves Some New
Theories on the Problem.

The Georgia Philosopher Evolves Some New
Theories on the Problem.
Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution.
We have big meeting going on here. and
heard man say well, Tn not going I've got
no confidence in these preachers. What want
to know first of all is, where did Cain get his
wife. That's what bothers me-" And so he is
going about loose, and every time anybody talks
to him about religion he says: Where did Cain
get his wife!'
But think the new doctrine of evolution that
has got into the church is a right fair compro-
mise, for it maintains that while old father
Adam evoluted and come from monkey old
mother Eve didn't. She was made all of a sud
den and all at once, pure and beautiful and love
ly, and had no monkey ancestors and reckon
that is the reason why woman is to this day so
much better than man. There is no gorilla
blood in her-no faint of the brute or the beast
to crop out like it does in man. What a pity
that she was yoked on to such feller as Adam.
What a splendid stock would have filled the
world if Adam hadn't evoluted, and had
been created fresh like Eve. AS it
is, we have got a graded stock that
is sort of a cross between angels
and monkeys and it keeps up powerful COM
motion But the trouble about the whole bust
ness is that we can't help it, and what troubles
me more than all is that L am one of EN-. al
ways knew there was some devilment in me-
some original sin that made be meaner than
want to be, and now | know just whore it came
from. That apple-eating business had nothing
to do with it, but it is in the stock-the babboon
cross-and ever and anon it crops out All my
good desires and noble aspirations, all my anna
bility and tenderness comes from mother Eve
and my meanness from Adam. The old rascal!
| wish she hadn't have married him. and then
maybe | would have been better man.
But still, Notwithstanding and nevertheless, 1
would like to Know, just as matter OF curiosity,
what became of old Adams brothers and sisters,
and all the rest of the old monkey stock that
evoluted. for l reckon he didn't evolute by him
self. Maybe they didn't marry angels, but just
kept on in the monkey breed, and that accounts
for the other races-the Hottentots and Indians
and such like. There is difference great
difference, and it had beginning somewhere.
Science has power of work to do in unraveling
these questions, and hope she will do it, but
she hasn't done it yet to my satisfaction, and I'm
going to wait patiently.

,Anecdote of Arago.

One day at the Academy of Sciences they had
long and tiresome session. Arago thought he
would go out and take the air. At the foot of
the stairway there was leather bowl, upon
which the rays of the sun were hotly beating
Arago turned the bowl around, and, rushing up
stairs told the distinguished assemblage that he
had just met with something that was very
mysterious THAT leather bowl" he said, ''at
the foot of the stairway is coz upon the side
which presents itself it the sun, but warm upon
the other side" The scientists descended in
body and substantiated this assertion They
took the inclination of the sun, the hour, the
minute, the seconds, and vast array of other
details. They made calculations, and several
weeks afterward each of them presented paper
explaining the phenomenon Arago himself tax
ing care to send in his explanation with the rest
There is no knowing how far the discussion
might have gone had it not been for the door
keeper who, having seen Arago turn the bowl,
and plying the worthy gentlemen who were so
much worried, cleared away the mystery

Rochester, N. Y, as follows in relation to puz
zledom:
1--WE have devoted over fifteen years to the
study of puzzledom, and in that time have con-
tributed our mite to nearly all the leading de-
partments extant. We declare, also, that,
while it is pleasant and strictly moral pastime,
we have never grasped subject that is more
intellectual and conducive of dispensing more
diversified form of knowledge than the science
of puzzledom. VS. have noticed, also. with
great solcitude the popularity puzzledom is gain
ing in this country as well as abroad. Ever and

lated journal will tolerate puzzle department

Mysteries of the English Language.

Plttsburg Ulspatch.
1t is a curious thing how many expressions
there are which are utter mysteries to one-half
the Englishspeaking race and everyday terms
to the other half. One of the leading notion
stores on Fifth avenue has a placard in its win
dows about Ladies' Split Feet" That this has
the context of the card but Of half dozen in
telligent gentlemen whose attention was called
to it, not one could explain more than that
They all hoped it was all right, but the intirna-
ton that the ladies may be possessed of the ten
dency toward cloven hoofs, which has always
been accredited to the male sex, is calculated to
arouse apprehensions If they have got split
feet they certainly need something thicker than
cotton hose to conceal the fact l don't believe
that the soft sex INDUCES in any such internal
features; but that placard ought to have dia-
gram for the benefit of the MISUNDERSTANDING
male sex.

ALCOHOL AND THE HEART.
The Rudy Bumper Causes 1t to Thump at
Extraordinary Rate.

Extraordinary Rate.
DIR. n. B. Richardson, of London, the noted
physician, says he WAS recently able to convey a
considerable amount of conviction to an in
telligent scholar by simple experiment. The
scholar was singing the praises of the ruddy
bumper, and saying he could not get through
the day without it, when DR.. Richardson said to
him:
will you be good enough to feel my pulse
stand herel'
He did so. said, count it carefully; what
does it say!n
''Your pulse says seventy-four."
l then sat down in chair and asked him to
count it again. He did so and said: your pulse
has gone down to seventy
l then lay down on the lounge, and said
"Will you takeit againl"
He replied: why, it is only sixty four; what
an extraordinary thing"
then said: ''When you lie down at night, that
is the way nature gives your heart rest. You
know nothing about it, but that beating organ is
resting to that extent: and if you reckon it up,
it is great deal of rest, because in lying down
the heart is doing ten strokes less minute.
Multiply that by sixty and it is 600; multiply it
by eight hours and within fraction it is 5000
strokes different; and as the heart is throwing
six ounces of blood at every stroke, it makes "a
difference of 30 900 ounces of lifting during the
night
when lie down at night without any alco-
hol, that is the rest my heart gets But when
you take your wine grog you do not allow
that rest, for the influence of alcohol is to in
crease the number of strokes, and instead of
getting this rest you put on something like
up very seedy and unfit for the next days work
till you have taken little more of the rudy
bumper, which you say is the soul of man
below"

About three weeks ago German professor
Herr Dornheim, of Mannheim, suddenly dsap-
peared while making a tour of the Alps of
Vorarlberg. near the Lake of Constance. 1t was
supposed that an accident had befallen him, and
the surm1se has now been verified by the dis
covery of his body at the foot of the precipitous
western side of the Widderstein Mountain.
Professr Dornhein, who was going through the
mountains from Bergenz to Lindau, appears to
have lost his way in dense mist and to have
fallen over the mountain side into the valley be-
low, distance of upward of 600 feet
When discovered the corpse was in an adj
vanced state of decomposition, and the medical
examination showed that the deceased had in his
fall suffered mortal injuries, including broken
limbs, ribs and skull. On lifting up the body a
piece of paper was found with few words in
pencil to the following effect: Telegraph Prof,
Dornhem Mannheim. My last thoughts are Of

minutes in prayer. A reporter who was passing

Effects of Nervous Exhaustion.

PlttsDurg Dlspatch'
One of the singular things about this condition
is the desire to do that which the person knows
to be wrong. 1t was stated by a physician, in
an article on nervousness recently, chat bishop
of the Methodist Church came to him in great
state of mind over the fact that when he took
one of his spells he couldn't help swearing.
So far he had been able to keep the profanity
from the ears of others, but it troubled him
wonderfully.
A model Christian lady of this city said to her
physician, not long since, that she was really
afraid She was becoming possessed for when
ever she became nervous and certain desperate
sort of feeling came over her she was sure to
say bad word, ami like the captain of the Pima

quoth presently: 'Who was that little brown
man al Winchester who wouldn't let Nelly lodge
in his housel'- abiding to the dean having re-
solved that lady holding the relations which
fit guest for divine to entertain The King
was told that it was Dean Ken. "Then let him
have it" he said; and this choice was one of the
redeeming acts of Charlessl life. AS the world
knows, Ken more than justified the selection.
The bicentenary of his death is now approaching
and the Dean of Wells has used the occasion as a
peg wherein to hang circular, calling upon the
faithful to subscribe towards painted windows
and other ecclesiastical luxuries for the cathe-
dral, in commemoration of the good bishop.
