what Is DWorn BY the Leaders Of the
Worlds Fashions.
1t is astonishing what very elegant
wooden costumes are turned out by our
leading dressmakess. The cut is SIM
pie enough, but the trimmings are both
costly and beautiful embroidery on
plush, garlands bordered with silk
braid, embroidery in satin stitch, in
shaded chenilles, etc., are all used on
wooden gowns. The materials in vogue
are striped CURSOR, dark blue serge,
bronze bure. diagonal cloth, scabious
vigogne and cloth the color Of the shells
Of fresh walnuts. The skirts are
mounted in wide plaits, and have m
broidered panels or fan-shaped paint
ings, trimmed with velvet or plush
bands. The balayeuse is abolished, but
several rows of plaitings or silk ruch-
ings are added to the edge Of the foun-
dation Of the skirt. .f. a..
The bodices are not fastened with
buttons, but are hooked beneath the
plastron, which is o preferred to the
waistcoat. Plush ornaments are most
popular. and a motif in psssementerie

the plastron or at the waist. The motif
represents nuts or any other dry autumn
fruit, but 30 well initiated that they
might be taken for real ones. These
are the latest novelties introduced by
our leading passementier. Large square

"Well, yes; it might seem to any,

some little money to get you out, as

pheasant. These have an extraordinary
brilliant effect, and are finished off at
the edge with a narrow but rich gold
braid. For low bodices there are gallons
TO match the p~oitrinals, which are car
ried round the back; but for high dress
the poitrinal and cuffs are only used.
In simple black jet on black velvet the
effect is most elegant.
Quite new also are the very large
bronze buttons, chased in gold in the
form of small round shields or Moyen
Age bucklers. They are either ar
ranged in sets of two on the bodices
that fasten at the side or two are
placed at the waist. They are almost
works Of art.
Embroideries for trimming dresses
are now sold separately, and are in
great variety. They are in plush APP
plique N cloth, the work being in silk,
brought into relief with lines of gold or
steel thread. These are produced in
all shades, with the silk in several col
ors. Others are in chenille crewels and
silks on a cloth ground. For silk CO.'S
tunes the most beautiful embroidery
is in beads and olivettes-a sort of
oval-shaped bead, cut in facets and
made of light colored glass. Tulle for
ball dresses is now studded with what
are called diamond beads" because
they are faceted like rose diamonds.
Panels for rich silk and satin dresses
are outlined with Renaissance designs
in satin stitch embroidery, intermixed
with plush flowers in relief.-N 7.

A DESERTED VILLAGE.
The Town OF Wortepdyke, N. j., and Its
Rapid Decay.

The Town of wortendyke, N. j., n Its
/, Rapid Decay.
The Metropolitan National Bank has
become the owner, by Sheriff's sale, of
the Wortendyke IN. J.) Manufacture
ing Company's property, including
mills, tenements, vacant lots, etc.
More than one hundred neat and pref
ty cottages occupied by operatives in
the great silk mills Of this company
formed a community that was the envy
of it's neighbors. Up to August, 1883,
there was not the slightest sign Of de-
cadence anywhere. The hands had
good wages, and they had their own
summer and winter pavilion and a
brass band. The fall Of this great
Wortendyke industry makes sad pict-
ure. The mill buildings are of brick,
covering thousands Of square feet Of
surface, and having every convenience,
including apost-ofice. Each morning,
before the failure, aproccssion Of coun.
try wagons brought to the mill hun.
dreds of farmers daughters within a
radius Of ten miles. At the close of the
days toll the wagons would reappear
to convey them home. More than two
thousand persons depended for their
daily bread upon their work in the
mills. In August, 1888, the property
passed into the hands Of q receiver.
An inventory showed the total liabil.
tiles to be 100000, with $4,000 as
sets. Destitution rapidly overlook the
villagers and hundreds of the operatives
left the place. Many Of the cottages
are going to ruin, and Wortendyke is
rapidly assuming the appearance of a
deserted village. The Metropolitan
Bank paid eighty thousand dollars for
the property, which includes twenty
thousand dollars of first-morteage
claims.-N Y. Times.

How . Precoeious ~Youngster Discovered q
New Kind Of Dirt.
On a train up in Wisconsin was a
small boy from Chicago and his large
mother. They had been visiting some
country relatives, and the large mother
was evidently afraid the small boy had
acquired bad habits and other para
sites while playing with his country
cousins, for she got his head
down upon a newspaper in her lap and
held it close to the window, and began
to look around in the hair as if she had
lost something. Every few seconds
Johnny raised his head and inquired in
D loud voice:
"Ma, what you doing?n
"Hush, Johnny" his mother wits.
pered, Il am looking for dirt"
Then Johnny resigned himself to his
fate, only to rise up again in a few Sec
onds, and exclaim:
"Ma, do you find any dirtPn
"Sh,h! Lie down, Johnny" was the
good mothers reply.
twenty seconds passed. and the in
quisitive boy bobbed up his head once
more, saying:
''Ma, ] want to see the dirt"
.'Be still, child, sh-h!' whispered the
industrious matrOn.
Down went the little head, but it
could not rest in peace. The eyes in it
rolled around curiously, and soon it
bobbed up again, and the boys gaze fell
upon the newspaper.
Say, ma said the amazed Johnny,
in a voice so .oud that the passengers
all turned to listen.
What, child?h

the psfscn with warts doss not oars to
try The efficacy Of any Of the above
named charms, let him select a. many
pebbles as he has warts. Sewing them
up in q small bag, he must take them
TO where four roads cross and throw
the bag over his left shoulder. This
charm will never be resorted to, how
ever, by persons who have no mali
csousness in their hearts, for II, BY
chance. any other person find the bag
and open it the warts will appear on
his hand.
A wen Is usually a troublesome and
unsightly thing to be afflicted with, but
the victims Of wens need not suffer
long IL they believe in the English
charm. Take a common snake. Hold
It by the head and tail, and draw it
backward and forward nine times over
yen. Then cork the snake in a
lie and bury it. II that fails the pa
tent must not repine, but simply wait
until the next May Day. Rise early in
the morning Of that day before the sun
has disturbed the dew. Go to a grave
yard, and, by passing the hand three
times from head to foot owe the grave,
collect the dew that lies on the grave
of the last young person who was bur-
led in the yard. If the victim Of the
wen is a woman the grave must be
that of o man, and vice versa. Apply
the dew Immediately to the wen, and a
cure is guaranteed. In England, &C.
'cording to the Oldest resident Of the
settlement, the "dead stroke' was con-
sidered q never-failing cure for wens.
This was the stroking of the affected
part with the head Of a dead animal.
The charm for curing nosebleed is a
curious one. II o person is subject to
nosebleed he may effect a cure by going
to a person Of the opposite sex and re-
questing him or her to purchase a piece
Of lace, such as may be specified, for
the person making the request. When
the lace is brought the person must
take it and neither pay for it nor return
thanks for it. He must make a neck
tie out of the lace and wear it for nine
days, and he will never have the nose
bleed again. If the person is too mod
est or gallant to get the lace in that
way let him catch a toad, kill it and
wear it around his neck in a bag until
it sickens him. His nose will never
bleed again. II a person has cramps
in the legs or feet at night he has but
to place his stockings in shape
of q cross on the floor in front Of his
bed when he retires, OF lay his slippers
under the bed, soles upward. Placing
the shoes under the coverlid at the
foot OF the bed, SO that the toes of the
shoes protrude is also a sur prevent
i've Of cramps. No one who wears a
snake-skin around his head need sver
have headache. II one feels a city
coming on his eye let him take a hair
from the tail Of a black cat, rub the
eye with it nine times before midnight
on the first night of the new moon,
and the sly will die. A ring-worm may
be dispersed by simply holding be-
tween the thumb and fingers a pinch Of
hazel ashes before breakfast for three
days and saying:
Ringworm. riugworm red.
Never mayest thou speed or spread!
But aye now less and less.
And die among tho ash!
These and many more strange super
stitions are part of the faith of the
simple, honest and thrifty farmers Of
