Early Birmingham.

To the metal-workers, no doubt, we
owe the disappearance of the great for

from its connection with Shakespeare.
and with that greater forest of Arden
on the slopes of the Meusc, and which
received lis name, no doubt, from kim
drcd folk on the other side of the
channel. And just rs Arden in En-
gland was the funeral pyre from which
rose the Phoenix Birmingham, so in the
vanished forest of Ardennes we may
trace the beginning of the same in
duStry which created Liege. in Bel
GUM, beginning with the charcoal
burner and his pile, and the rude clay
furnace of the early iron-workers, and
ending in the myriad industries of the
great hardware cities. But of the in
iermediate history of the metal-work-
crS of Birmingham and its neighbor-
hood there is little record yalways

were welded in the civil war. and
while Charles queen was pawning the
crown jewels and buying arms with
the proceeds among the smiths of Bel

were busily forging blades = the

they furnished some fifteen thousand

Eccentric People.

Half the people who are called &C.
centric deserve much worse epithet
applied to them. Here and there
man or woman is found whose oddities
of opinion and erratic conduct are
genuine, and the outcome of some
real Unborn twist in their mental and
moral disposition. Such persons are
generally tolerable, and sometimes
very likable, idiOsyncrases serve as
gentle entertainment rather than as
an annoyance to us. We feel that
they are quite unaware of their queer
ness, which is the result Of Il native
incapacity TO comprehend the ordinary
conventions Of society. But there arc
other people whose eccentricities are
not, or ought not, TO be endured. They
are not innocently ignorant, but will
fully disregardful Of a rein of law in
the social world The worlds judg-
ments are no doubt superficial, and
therefore very commonly defective or
false; but the worlds conventions
that is its rules tacitly agreed on for
the preservation of the order and de-
cency OF social intercourse-are on the
whole respectable and TO be observed.
But the uncomfortable eccentric prides
himself upon being a lew to himself in
these matters. He likes TO know that
his acquaintance are saying of him:
ooh, that is Mr.. BIS way, you know,
He is not like other people; he always
does and says just what he pleases. -
And the notable fact is that SO many
persons are imposed on by this absurd
affectation that they will let certain be-
havior pass for independence and origi-
nality, which is nothing but simple
rudeness, the expression of egotism
and ill-breeding.-JuJy atlantic.

fronts are fastened on either side Of the
vest. The lower part of the waist is
either arranged in three flat vertical
plaits. or form revers. This arrange
ment depends upon the material of
which the suit is made. Vests are of
ten replaced by putlings and Russian
chemises, which are more appropriate
for summer fabrics. A linen suit may
have plated kilt of ecru linen, with a
band OF blue linen sewed above the
hem. The ecru waist is surrounded by
the same band, and also has q blue
pulling. Some suits are all blue and
have white puffings and revers; others
are of adrinople, with the collars,
cuffs, Russian chemises, and waist
fronts embroidered in blue. One may
also use pelerines and collars to match,
or white Louis Mi. collars trimmed
with embroidery. A suit for q little
boy from to years old may be made
of pongee silk. The trowsers are drawn
in at the knee and fastened with a mo-
ther-of-pearl button. The half-blouse
is taken in around the waist by vel
low leather belt. 1t buttons straight
down the front. The large sailor col
lar opens over plastron of striped
blue and white cotton goods. The
straight sleeves have small cuffs and
are drawn in at the wrist. The sailor
hat matching this suit is of blue straw
trimmed with blue ribbon.
A small blouse for o little girl is of
red adrianople. 1t is shirred around
the neck and waist. Below the shirring
on the waist is deep flounce of hand
some white lace or embroidery. The
sleeves are short, with long loops of
narrow red ribbon falling from the top
of the shoulder In the back are loops of
rather wide red ribbon. The hat worn
with the blouse is OF Leghorn straw.
1t has a rather narrow brim, which
turns up in front, and is lined with red
velvet. Around the crown is a TRIM
ming of straw-colored faille and in the
center in front is bunch of feathers of
the same color A small red velvet
bow covers the starting point of the
plumes. A suit for little girl, 6 to 10
years of age, has gray plated cache
mire skirt. Over this is silk waist of
the same color, which laces in the back
and is very tight-ftting. A gray faille
scarf is tied on the lower part of the
waist. The hat for wear with this suit
is of Manila straw. 1t has a raised
brim lined with velvet. In front of the
crown are loops of ribbon, which are
taken to the back and fall in long loops
and ends.

A New Type of Steamship.

The new national steamer, the
America, is something more than q
very fast vessel. Without doubt she
is the fastest steamer afoat, but her
wonderful speed has been obtained
not by building her on the model of a
lead pencil and by filling her with
machinery. She has much greater
proportionate breadth of beam than the
Oregon; her machinery indicates $500
horsepower, as compared with the
5000 horsepower of the Oregon's
engines, while she burns 100 tons of
coal daily, instead of the 1877 burned
by her rival. Her splendid perform
ance on her first trip shows that the
day OF the narrow beamed excessively
high-powered steamer is over. With
lite more than half the horsepower
and little more than half the daily
consumption OF coal, the broad beamed,
steady ship will beat her narrow, high
powered rival.
The Importance of the splendid sue
cess OF the America can hardly be
overrated. 1t proves that fast steamers
can be operated at an immense reduc-
ton OF what has hitherto been their
necessary cost thus enabling them to
dispense with freight and to make a
pIoht ny carrying passengers only. 1t
si'o proves mat narrow beam is not
necessary condition of speed, but that
vessel may possess both stability and
speed The America constitutes new
type OF steamer, and is to some extent
a solution of the problem how TO com.
pine speed with safety and economy

THE FASHIONABLE FOOT.

4iAL LEaSIaiONADLI- IOHi'
The fashionable foot of woman, saws
the New York correspondent of the
Baltimore american, has undergone a
sudden and radical change. Only q
few months ago it was wholly arttic-
ial in shape and as unnatural in size as
squeezing could make it. The toes
were brought to sharp point and the
apparent heel was directly under the
instep, while the real one projected be-
hind the high support. You are famil-
lar enough with that kind of pedal dis
tortion, because it was for several years
in fashion and majority of the finely
dressed women submitted to its torture.
1t did not permit of natural walking,
but gave rise, of necessity to that nine
ing gait which we have almost come to
regard as characteristic of femininity.
| But at a point where further remodel
ing of the foot would have approached
the Chinese kind of designation, there
came reaction, and tho foot of the
New York belle to-day is set fatty and
squarely on the ground. The reforma-
ton has been produced by the vogue to
which athletic sports have come with
the ordinarily all-too-gentle sex. Pc
dcstrinarianism has struck popularity
with our city young women and lazy
ease is for the time in disfavor. Exer-
else on foot was found to be hardly
diversion in the high heeled and narrow
toed shoes, and therefore change was
wrought in n few weeks that physicians
and dress reformers could not have ac-
complished in a century of argument.
The shoe of lSSPs summer has
heel of less than an inch in height and
placed where it belongs. The toe is
round and wide. The entire outline is
not quite that of human foot, but as
nearly so as previous condition of COM
prehension permits. The material is
not the inelaStic glazed stuff long in
use, but of soft caIfskin of the same
kind used in mems shoes, The make
is masculine, even in such details as
beveled soles and yellow stitching, and
especially in the fact that the surface is
not TO be daubed with any black, shiny
varnish, but blackencd with pigment
and brush in the way heretofore dis
tinctively and exclusively male. The
exception in this latter respect is the
shoe made of real or imitation croco-
die skin, reddish yellow in color, and
making the wearer look as though on
her way to a ball match An artist
friend, rapturous on the subject, de-
clared that an era of naturalness had
at last begun, and that uncontrolled
waists would be the next happy attain
ment on the part of our fashionable
GIRLS.

THERE IS A GARDEN IN HER FACE.
There is a garden in her face.
Where roses and white lilies blow;
A heavenly paradise is that place,
Wherein ali pleasant fruits do grow:
There cherries grow that none may buy;
Til cherry-ripe themselves do Cry.
Those cherries fairly do inclose

They look like rose-buds filled with

Yet them no peer nor prince may buy
Til cherry-ripe themselves do cry.
Her eyes like angels watch them still;
Her brOws like Bonded bows do stand,
Threatening with piercing frovns TO Kill

SUITS FOR RoYs ANn c1p1s

In children's styles, says the New
York Times, there is a great variety of
dresses and hats. Suits for boys from
3 TO 6 years of age are very much like
those for little girls; TIE same materi-
ais are used for both. The chief differ
ence is the way in which the waists are
made. For boys the backs are less cut
up and the fronts straighter Very
short skirts are, generally worn, as they
leave freedom TO the limbs. They are
often arranged in very wide plaits al
ternating with groups of very narrow
ones. These plaits are very full under
meath. The waists are open and have
one button in the neck, or else the

GLENN, beloved wife of G. A.
Hooper, aged about 4S years.
She died in this happy belief:
"Though I walk in the dark valley
of the shadow of death, I fear no
evil" She has gone to that eternal
place of rest! We know she is bet

trials of life are over, and how we
miss her none can tell. But we all
must submit to the will Of Him who
doeth all things we'll. A truer,
nobler, fonder wife and mother
meier lived; she was friend to all
in distress. How much she has
done for others, her husband and
children, God only knows. How
she has worked and deprived her.
self-how she has gone in storm
and rain, in heat and i'll cold, fol
the sake of those she loved best
none will ever know.

true loving mother, fare thee we'll
