the other addenda of dull trimmings consid

mourn our loved and lost, but simply black.

outside of the more expensive silks, velvets,
plushes and brocades, are all useful and wear

What, for instance-to take two examples
could be more effective, if well fitted and made,
than black camers hair and black surahl
Then, to ring the changes down the gamut of
cheaper material, there are nuns yelling, alba
tross and khyber cloths, seaside grenadines
of which fill their appropriate sphere and do
not require the trouble or expense of being
iaundried. But the most fastidious, as well as
the most luxurious, can find enough variety in
black and white to satisfy her most soaring am
bition. Look at the superb jetted lace, Spanish
lace, black grenadines, brocaded in velvet, that
only our millionaires can wear. Then again,
look at the white dresses, lace robes, and tell
me, "Why should the soul of mortal be sadn
when Injuries such as these are spread before
the longing eyes of women-symphonies in black

Mr. G. w, Smalley gives the following inter
esting particulars of Captain Burton's forthcom-
ing translation of 1.-THE Arabian Nights" Cap
tain Burton began his work upon this extraordi-
nary monument of Oriental literature in 1852, at
Alden, with some help from his friend DR.. Stein
hauser, of the Bombay army. He has gone on
with it as opportunity offered and as other liter
airy and official labors and his many journeys in
savage lands permitted. The text and the sub
ject offer many difficulties and it is to these diff
iculties that he has devoted especial attention
His object is to reproduce the book in form as
entirely Arabian possible, preserving the strict
division of the nights, and keeping Ia more ques-
tionable matteT) to the long, unbroken sentences
in which the composer indulged; Initiating
also the rhythmic prose which is characters
tic of the Arabic The effect in English remains
to be seen, but of the value of Captain Burton's
method as an experiment. in literature there can
be no doubt, or of its great interest to every
body who cares for oriental habits of
thought and language. He will not shirt
any of the passages which do not suit the task
of the day; but these, Captain Burton thinks,
will not commonly be found more Objectionable
than some which are in Shakespeare and in
Shakspeares contemporaries. At the same
time it will be understood that the book is for
men only and for the study-not for women or
children nor for the drawingroom table OF den
fists waiting room. It will be printed by sub
scription and not published.

Hoops are not worn, but bustles are very large,
and it is said they will be larger.
The two fiat loops of hair worn above the
French twist are called Japanese coils.
Almost all. petticoats to summer wool dresses
are lined with canvas to give them consistency.
Rumor from abroad says that the wide white
ties worn two or three seasons ago, are to be
revived
The new wooden jerseys are made with many
seams, and all have darts. Those without darts
are not salable.
Long silk mitts, that reach almost to the
shoulder are made for little girls OF from four
to six years Of age.
Low shoes of black satin are worn with white
or colored costumes when black silk stockings
are an accompaniment
Bretelles of lace and net, wide at the shoulders
and tapering to point at the belt both back
and front, are again in vogue.
Ecru and tan-colored gloves are worn this
summer with all dresses excepting those of
gray, with which gray gloves are used
Young ladies with standing collars wear a
yard and half of satin ribbon, folded and
passed around the collar in front and tied in a
jaunty bow behind.
For those small bonnets which are much
trimmed with flowers the white lilac, white
clover, white violets or heliotrope should be
used, as the lightest flowers chosen are the best.
Bonnets made of figured light foulards and
crowns and frills of lace, in double rows around
the front, and are tied with ribbon strings un-
der the chin.
Tucked sleeves, fitted very closely to the arm,
the tucks an inch and a half wide at the shout

trimmed with black lace ruff1es and the polo
naise is ornamented with embroidered roses,
pansies and lilies of Che valley. The edge of the
apron has loops of narrow colored ribbon over
lace. Sleeves trimmed to correspond.
The oldfashioned pointed grdle is revived,
and is very becoming to both slight and full fig
ures. 1t is pointed at both edges in front, is
quite narrow at the sides, and pointed again at
both back edges They are usually made of
velvet, and some of the same material as the
dress
A New York leader of fashion is said to have
taken twelve white dresses among the fifteen
new toilets prepared for Newport, and another
lady, remarkable for her taste in dress, had eight
new suits, of which one was a tailor-made cloth
dress, and another handsome black grenadine,
while the remaining half dozen dresses were all
white.
Sacques of cashmere or opera flannel, in any
color liked, are much worn on hotel piazzas over
thin dresses on cool mornings and evenings.
Such sacques usually left open to display the
dress worn underneath. and very few have but

coNCERNING MRS. HENDRICKS.
A Summary and Brief Estimate of Her Many
Charming Qualities.

Charming Qualities.
indianapolis Letter in Chicago Herald.
Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks occupy very promi-
nent position in society here and indeed in
every place they go. They entertain admirably,
but not deliberately. They have no children
Their only boy died, when but three years old,
in 1851. Mrs. Hendricks is fine looking lady,
about fifty years old, rather small of stature,
with dark hair and eyes. She wears an eye
glass which gives her something of a distingue
appearance, and she dresses richly, but plainly
She is brilliant conversationalst and lady of
rare tact. For many years she
has devoted much attention to char
liable matters and for four years
was one of the board of trustees, appointed by
the Republican Governor,of the State Institution
for the Reformation of Girls. While president
of the board legislative investigation of the in
stitution was held, and developed the fact that
its affairs had been managed much more eco
nomically and effectively than when under con-
troll Of men.
When Mr.. Hendricks was Governor of the
State she visited with him the various penal and
reformatory institutions, and was not satisfied
with casual inspection Of them, but inquired
into their affairs closely. She is valuable to him
in various other ways, for she has an extended
knowledge of political affairs and excellent iudg-
ment regarding them. All Of his carefully pre-
pared speeches bear the impress of her work
They are charming couple, thoroughly con
genial and almost equally talented.

Anecdotes Of His Career on the Bench-A
Castigation of Greedy Lawyers.
st.Paul Pioneer Press.
Judge Drummond's resignation takes one of
the best Judges living frem the bench. Itseems
greater to be noted In politics or war, but the
man who wins fame on the bench is truly great
There is no sham permissible there. The law
proceeds from truth to truth, as the pyramids
from stone to stone Once Matt Carpenter un-
dertook to play fast and loose in argument be-
fore Drummond. He was interrupted: Mr.
Carpenter, you helped to pass this law. A man
should be ashamed to bubble over law of his
own making" As Carpenter went out of the
court room, smarting under the rebuke like a
whipped schoolboy, he remarked to brother
lawyer "0d Tom Drummond is the ablest
legal mind this country has produced. l say it
without reserve.
Once Carpenter alluded to an attorney OPP
posed to him as THAT man. The expression
came out several times before Judge Drum
mond's wrath waxed vocal He frothed at the
mouth and cried out: "Mr. Carpenter, sit down.
Do you desist in calling any lawyer in this court
that mani If you ever again call brother at
torney in my court that man you will cease to
have the opportunity for such an insult
In lawsuit over the Adams estate in Mil
waukee one firm of lawyers put in a bill for
$50, 600, another lawyer a bill for $1,000, and
still another bill for an equal sum. The es-
tate amounted to but 1872, 900, and the parties in
interest were orphan children Drummond went

AS he went from item to item his anger in
creased. It's said by those who were present
that set of men ever received
such a Jove-like castigation. Gentlemen
he said: You consider yourselves good lawyers.
How much more are your services worth to
your clients than mine to the peopleR You
have charged $25, 900 for sixty days service.
Could you not be content each of You to take my
prorata for the same time2 These charges are
infamous. They are such as men who are scoun-
an n OF hnar vVanly
charge of $4,000 is cut down to $1,000, those of
$1,000 each to $500. Repeat such piece of
rapine in this court and will disbar every one
of you"
Judge Drummond, in an overcoat shorter than
his undercoat, ancient dilapidated silk hat,
broad, heavy clod hopper shoes, and pantaloons
too short by three inches, was verify a singed
cat to strangers. But no man on the bench in
this country has delivered clearer shorter de-
cisons where millions were at stake than he has.
His decisions had the virtue and appearance of
being extemporaneous, but were the result Of
infinite painstaking

GETTING DRUNK ON COLOGNE.
Women Who Triple on Various Supplies

Women Who Triple Various Supplies
from the Drug Stores.
New York Sun.
ibid you ever hear of anybody getting drunk
on eau de cologneT inquired Sun reporter of
popular druggist
Certainly" was the druggists answer, and it
is byno means an uncommon occurrence. once
had customer a lady, who was puzzled to know
what became Of her cologne. She suspected that
the servants used it, and carefully watched
them, but could never detect the smell of it
about their clothing. At the same time the
housemaid was noticed to be occasionally under
the influence of stimulants and it was a source
of wonder as to where she-procured her supply.
The two puzzles were solved together when it
was discovered that the girl was in the habit of
drinking the cologne The girls appetite was so
strong for the alcohol, and her opportunities for
procuring it so infrequent that she could not re-
sist even in the form of cologne.
s'There is no doubt that the main patronage of
various patent medicines, tonics, bitters, and
the like containing large quantities of alcohol,
comes from women who seize upon this oppor-
tunity to crafty an appetite for drink, which
they could not crafty in any other way One
of my customers told me that she could not keep
a bottle of laudanum, or paregoric, ,or even of
bay rum, in the house. Amy sedative or stimu-
liant medicine was sure to disappear, and the SER
wants were the eulprits.
'It is we'll known that in manufacturing es-
adjustments where alcohol is used for mechan-
ical purpose it is difficult to keep the topers from
drinking it. There are many women who drink
all sorts of stuff that they get from the drug
stores for the alcohol it contains, and who would
be ashamed to be seen buying liquor.
Il know sad case of young girl who was a
cologne drinker She was observed to be stupe
fed and incoherent and it was long before her
secret was discovered. At last the family doc
tor said that she was suffering from alcoholism.
The declaration Of the doctor was received with
indignation. But the girl was watched, and at
last detected in swallowing her cologne. The
alcohol habit had by that time taken such hold
of her that she could not resist and it was only
with the greatest difficulty that she was re-
claimed. Every druggist knows that there are
constantly put in the way of those who are weak
stimulating poisons from the drug store that are
as pernicious as the vilest drains. A conscien-
tious man cannot see these things go on before
his eyes without regret, and yet he dares not act
upon his convictions lest he should lose his GUS
tom Bay rum and cologne are innocent enough
in their legitimate USE but otherwise they are
harmful, and should be kept out of the way of
those who are known to have an appetite for
stimulants."
