A CAT AND cHLoRoFcRM.
Tho Effects OF Too Great a Desire
for Gorgeousness.
New Haven News.l

new Haven News.
There is mourning in Fair Haven house
hold. There is little grave under a pear
tree in the yard, and there are tears in
abundance, and neglected ribbons laid ten
derly away in consecrated receptacles There
has been on unintentional murder within the
house Of mourning Said the unwilling
taker Of life, as he sobbed over the past:
ave had a pet cat who wore a neat little
collar, but in an evil hour bethought me of
cat that wore ribbons or rings in his ears.
Our Tom was handsome and doserv-
ing, and must be decorated. So to
save him pain / consulted a druggist, who
gave me small vial labeled 'Chloroform,
Poison, after closely questioning me as to
my knowledge Of its USE Iprocured an eye
let punch, piece Of string and some olive
oil, and proceeded to business.
Il drew a sock over poor Toms head and
tied it. poured a few drops from the vial,
where his nose should connect, but this only
seemed to cause unusual activity, and feared
he would jump through the window; 80 l
emptied the vial on the moist spot The ef-
feet was soon perceptible. Tom lay motion
less. / took him up, laid him on the table,
and pinched him. Then inwardly blessed
that science that permitted us to perform op-
eIheioLLS eFcH Ou Ine lower aUlLlaB without
causing pain. So l went to work with the
deliberation Of professor and punched holes
In Toms ears. picked the pieces out to be
sure there was perfect orifce, then threaded
an oiled string and tied it as q preliminary to
the anticipated gorgeous earrings he was to
sport.
at was complete scientific triumph, and
for the moment felt equal to the Perform
ance Of almost any surgical operation, for
Tom was still sleeping, perfectly oblivious in
fact / almost wished he had tumor or
something could cut out, but tho time had
come t" resuscitate. Iprocured cold water,
opened his mouth, and poured some in, then
bathed his brow, rubbed and pinched him-to
no purpose. l laid him out under an apple
tree to sleep it Off for two hours. He made no
sign.
Tom is buried under a pear tree; there
were no flowers. My wife is continuous in
her upbraiding Ske has cut up loaf of
bread, used a pound Of butter and two boxes
Of rat poison, making wads for every hole and
corner, She has just shown mo plates,
clothing and even IA piliow-sham marked
with absolute evidence of mouse carousals,
for now poor Tom is dead, and am looking

Autumn Fashions.

lSIdiS
Behold, the autumn cometh! and the fash
ionable woman must array herself anew.
Here is some of the newest information as to
how to do it beautifully. am very glad, in
deed, to say that the tendency is toward the
straighter draperies for winter costumes
This Is a natural result of the use of thick
cloths and sitter fabrics however, rather
than of spontaneous go"d taste. Wide plaits
form the back Of many skirts, hanging un-
broken their entire length, from belt to foot,
and forming all the back there Is to the
dress, or rather all that is visible, for narrow
foundation skirt remains necessary for sup
porting the heavy plated outside skirt.
These back plaits may be set ON the edge of
the basque, and give princess effect, or else
they are attached to a belt and placed under
a shorter basque.
Draperies for the front may be either very
short or very long, but are not stylish il Of
medium length. The lower part Of the front
and side breadths may be laid in very wide
side plaits that are bordered with braid or
Astrakhan, or with balls or stripes woven in
the cloth, or else they may be Of box plaits
with velvet or braid lengthwise stripes laid
in the hollow that separates the plaits; or,
again, they may have one or two side stripes
OF applied ornament nearly covering the
frcnt and side cores Another velvet season
is certain for both dresses and wraps. There
arc plain velvets with the short, close pile
that is not easily marred: uncut velvets
in heavy reps that many modistes
commend as the most elegant of
all velvets; the frise velvet, with
rough, crinkled, uncut loops or pile, making
figures on plain pile or on plain reps; the
chine velvet, with changeable colors in the
closely clipped pile; and the striped velvets,
which were fashionable in Paris last year,
bnt were only used here by very exclusive
modistes.
Stripes are a decided feature of the new
inportations. Even stripes of bold width,
from one to three inches broad, are shown in
dark red next green, or ecru with golden
brown, white with black, moss green with
heliotrope, gray with black, or seal brown
with fawn, and the same colors are manufac-
tured in alternate stripes of Sicillienne with
velvet. Prune velvet striped with Sicillienne
stripes Of the same shade makes tasteful
fabric, and the many dahlia tints are simi-
larly woven. Bayadere velvet stripes tacross
from selvedge to selvedge) are also seen.
Short women are in luck, for these stripes
will make them look taller than they are,
while women Of high stature will apparently |
be elongated. Well, every peculiar persons |
turn comes around in time, IL she can wait |
long enough for it |

Dinner and Algebra.
Boston Globe. ]


A pale man with a high forehead came
into Booge's restaurant the other LAY, sat
down at table, and ordered his dinner
Then he took out Of his pocket a large
diagram apparently covered with unintelli-
gible signs and algebraic formula. and
fastened it with u pin upon the wall where he
could easily observe it. When his dinner
came he looked it over attentivoly and then
turned to profound contemplation of his
figures. After a while he began to eat but
with great deal OF caution and reserve, as
though he was afraid Of making a mistake
or suspected the biscuit Of concealins a snar.
Frequently he paused between bites and hi,
lips moved as il in prayer. The latter illusion
was disPelled, however, by the indistinct pro.
nunciation Of the name of a numeral.
He was evidently counting. He chewed

equations Of the diagram. There
was a palo blush tinge about lis face

Cruelty Misunderstood.
TCIara Belle.1

Quite too cruelty misunderstood was a
friend Of mine who took her white hands,
and the tools that had made them so, to
Saratoga. She had a trunk half filed with
these manicure utensils, together with q
great lot Of mixtures in pots and bottles.
She had been an acute sufferer from the mania
for beautifying the hands, you comprehend,
and these were the consequences, as arranged
on the bureau in her hotel room: A Dot of
powder for polishing the nails, a bottle Of
i6cid for bleaching them, a file for trimming
them, an emery board for beveling them,
and a salve for tinting them pink; a pot Of
cream for softening the hands, a special cake
OF soap for washing them, and pair of
scissors for cutting of hang.nails
Imagine the sort Of array these things
made. They made the room look like tho
Office Of o physician surgeon. She had
call from the landlord the very afternoon
that she arrived. He said that he really
begged her pardon for seeming uncivil, but
tho fact was that hotel was exceedingly
ticklish property-so liable to become un
fashionable for slight reasons, and requiring
the most delicate management. As for him
self, he would have no earthly objection Ia
letting her carry on business under his roof,
lut he was sorry to decide that it would bs
