place in the world. II has been only q little
over ten years since the work Of sinking It
was begun, whereas in the mines of the Old
World they have been delving since time
whereof the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary" The work on the Comblna-
ton shaft has been by no means continuous.
There have been long stoppages aside from
those required at such times as they were
engaged IN running long drifts as to the
westward to tap the vein, and at times for
many months, when the several companies
interested in the shaft were engaged in pros
pectipg the various levels it had opened up.
The work in the Combination shaft and
the mines with which it is connected is not
only of great interest to biologists, but also
&c al men of science, and there Is afforded
an opportunity for the observation OF the
increase of temperature as the crust of the
earth is penetrated, and for many other In
terestipg studies. 1t should also be OF IN
terest to the American people at large.
Brande says:
THE subject of mines is one of the most
important within the whole range OF human
knowledge. Their contents constitute the
mainsprings of civilization, and the means
employed to obtain them are to be ranked
among the most extraordinary instances OF
human enterprise, patience, and ingenuity.
There is whole volume oil truth in the
foregoing sentence, particularly as regards
the enterprise, patience, and ingenuity
required in mining at the great depth OF
3,OpO feet. As most of the heavy work ID
done and the ingenuity displayed at great
depths in the bowles of the earth, few peo-
pie see il or know anything about 1t. Not
many persons can be induced to take q per
pendiCulsr plunge Of 5000 feet toward the
center Of the earth Many will not even
look into the top of shaft OF that depth
without having firm hold on some con-
venient and stroUg timber. Were the tiers
of machinery, with all the huge pump col
umns, great pump rods and other apparatus
of the Combination shaft to be hoisted
3 600 feet in the air and there supported by
means of an IRON tower, it would be a sight
that would sstonish all beholders-would be
a thing the sight of which would repay for
his trip the visitor who might coma from
even the most remote corner of Europe.

Young as well as for old ladies.
The gathered waists, "guimpes, aud
crossed fichus are taken under the belts.
They are also used over lace garments.
Velvet sashes are silk lined, with crimson
or gold color gathered to point on the ends,
snd finish with silk tassel the color OF the
lining.
Belts and half belts retain their hold on
favor. Halfbelts start from the seams under
the arms and close in front under clasp or

Watered ribbon ssshes are tied on the left

When tied directly behind the ends frequen'

PASSIONS FOR FALL.

The Modes Gradually Disclosing Insir
Autumnal Tendencies.
There are no radical changes at this late
part of the season in costumes, yet. the dif-
ference between appropriate seaside dresses
for instance, now and two years ago, was
never more marked. Brocaded and plain
wool are most used, matching each other Is
to ground. Comparatively heavy stutfs are
quite the thing. -,
Unlike the fashions in garments, which
do not greatly vary after the start OF the
season, those of hesdgear are constantly
being altered by newly devised hats and
bonnets. We have begun to substitute
feathers for flowers on the more elegant
summer hats. All the hsndsomest OF the
hats worn at the last of the garden parties
were more or less plumed with ostrich
feathers, mixed for the most part with BOWS
of ribbon. There is nothing new about
ostrich feathers, and yet they are taken into
favor year after year with almost untailing
regularity at this season. One of the prin-
cipal reasons OF this, doubtless, is the high
price which ostrich feathers always COM
msnd in Paris, fact that adds to their
prestige, as it were. A most varied collec-
ton Of plumsge is provided TOR the nome
and foreign markets. >.
White skirts are going out of fashion.
There IS a naked tendency toward the use
of surah and satin skirts to match the other
parts of the toilet, ifthe latter Is OF light
material and intended to serve for dressy
purposes. At other times black, white and
red skirts are seen, but the black skirts have
the preference, as they are useful ana
economical. 1t is only necessary to trim
these skirts with one or two lace founces or
with narrow pleating Of the goods.
This is preeminently season for TRIM
shapely figures. Nothing else can hope to
look well in the corsage fashionable Just
now, which discloses every departure from
a perfect model, long in the waist and high
in the neck.
Pink is not as fashionable as was pre-
dicted.
Oxford ties are now popular for morning
wear. They are worn with black embroider-
ed hose.
Curled bangs are coming in sgain. They
are worn with tae hair arranged in twist
! on the top Of the head.
Cambria is now a favorite material for
underwear. 1t is finer and lighter than
muslin, and makes up more handsomely.
Childrens afternoon dresses of white and
colored mulls are a mass of embroidery and
ribbons. They are made in many new shlr'
red styles.
Sateens are more attractive in coloring
and texture than they have ever been. They
are much worn trimmed with fine embroi-
derry and with lace
Black silks or oftener seen for afternoon
wear and driving then tie colored ones.
The frise velvets combined with the new
light sa,ins are very popular for driving
purposes They make up handsomely.
Many evening dresses are deliberately
trimmed with pearl beads, put on in bands.
and used as embroidery. Low, round
waists prevail in all dresses for evening wear.
They are always garnitured either with
small flowers or the material ITSELF

YOU KISSED Me-.
by JOSEPHINE HUNT.

THE following exquisite POEM was writ.
ten in 1867, when the author was young
lady under 20 Whittier wrote of it aud
its author that she had truly mastered the
secret Of English verse:
You kissed met my head
Dropped low your breast,
With feeling OF shelter
And infinite rest;
While the holy emotions
Ny tongue dare not speak
Flashed up in 4 flame
From my heart to my cheek.
Your arms held me fast
Oh! Your arms we're so bold
Heart beat against heart
In your passionate fold.
- Your glanceS seemed drawing
Nv soul through my eyes,
As the sun draws the mist
From the seas TO the skies;
You lips chung TO mine
Till Iprayed in bliss
They might never unclasp
From the rapturOus kiss.
You kissed me! my heart
And my breath and my viii
In delirious JOY
For moment stood still.
Life had for me then
No temptations, no charms,
No visions Of happiness
Outside Of your arms,
And were this instant
An anger, pOnotoccu
OF the peace and the JOY
That are given the blest,
would fling my white robes
Unrepentingly down,
would tear from my forehead
Its beautiful crown,
To nestle once more
In that haven OF rest
Your lips upon mine,
Ny head on your breast
You kissed me! my soul,
In bliss 50 divine,
ReeIed and sWOoned like drunken man,
Foolish with wine Il
And / thought 'tvere delicious
To die there. IL death
Would but come while my lips
Were vet moist with your breath

While your arms claSped me round
In their pasiocate fold.
And these are the questions

TRAVELLING DRESSES AND GLOVES.

There is small economy in cheap gloves
for travelling. Fine Isle thread, silk or
Snede are the most comfortable as we'll as
useful.
Wreatbs of gold-headed scorns, intertWin-
ed with brillisnt.colored autumn leaves,
will appear upon yelvet-trimmed hats, to be
appropriately worn during the winter season.
An entire costume of striped or check
twilled surah will be found superior to any
other fabric as regards durability, and the
straw hat or bonnet is trimmed with scarf
of the same. The mantelet or warp il also
of the same fabric.
The most fashionable travelling dresses
for early autumn wsar are made of either
tufted cheEiJts, serge, nuns cloth or mohair,
and killed panels, tucked pleatings or fat
WOODEN braids are used to decorate the
bodice and skirts.
For driving parties or short pleasure trips
there are other sty les of appropriate costumes
of dark or black American silk and wool to
correspond. The silk trimmed skirt is worn
beneaSh wool polonaise with a silk vest,
collar and cuffs.
For long Journey there are wraps OF
plain gray and checked mohair. The skirt
and back are laid in pleats, the cape and
collar are faced with silk of the same dark
color, the clasp Of hammered oxidized silver
is concealed BY knot and ends of ribbon.
The waterproof garments now worn are
very different from those formerly in use,
which were of coarse materials, made in
large cloaks, with ungainly hoods like bags.
The fabrics employed for this purpose are
fine and soft, comprising an article resem.
bling surah (which may be had in several
shsdes), variety of glazed goods, and
materials with fine checks.
Travelling cloak8 or wraps are no longer
black or tightly fitting. Ia these days OF
luxurious palace cars the ulsters and dol
nan-shsped long wraps are made Of dust
colored mohair, glace alpaca, poogee, fou-
lard or summer camers hair. These are
shaped in such q manner as to admit OF
being easily taken off without assistance.
An apparently most convenient and use
full travelling suit is made of light summer
beige or nohsir in plain, straight tucked
skirt with hem, a vest AID sscque which
may be closed or opened. The back Of the
vest is formed of lining otherwise there is
no lining in any part of the costume, except
the silk in the standing collar and interior
fronts Of the sacque. Redingotes are recon,
mended, also long enough to reach within
seven or eight inches from the edge Of the
skirt. The least elaborate is advised and
made of wool goods.
