1t is strange what n halo hangs about

uresquely, clothed in poetic illusion.

show their real proportions. while the
ills that appeared 50 mountainous have
dwindlcd into pigmy annoyances.
While yesterday was present time It
was prosaic and dull enough, perhaps,
without interest or inspiration; now
that it no longer exists, how many OF
its discords resolve themselves into
heavenly harmonics! Its prose becomes
heroic verse. and to-day It Is the key to
many Of Its riddles. But II yesterday

tomorrow Is q romance. What beau.

there. what answer to our pray.

be strong to contend against wrong.
we will learn unsclfshness; tomorrow
will make amends for all the short

Something may even happen TO make
us beautiful. to shape our lives to our
wishes, to endow US with genius. To-
morrow the Fairy Prince may arrive,
our ship may come in. our lines may
be cast In pleasant places. the wind
may change and sweep the cobwebs
out of our sky. We feel hopeful con.
iidcnce that tomorrow will bring u.
com mpensation for the trials Of to-day.
and we can hardly believe that 1t will
disappoint US; 1t enchants us with its
promises, which, after all. arc only the
mirages Of our own wishes; difficult
paths will be made moro easy for US

pie enough, but the trimmings are both
costly and beautiful embroidery on

shaded chenillcs. ETC., are all used on
wooden gowns. The materials In vogue
are striped CURSOR, dark blue serge,

mounted in wide plaits, and have EN-.

ings, trimmed with velvet or plush
bands. The balaycnse is abolished, hut
several rows Of plaitings or silk ruch.
ings arc added to the edge OF the foun.
dation of the skirt.
The bodices are not fastened with
buttons, but are hooked beneath the
plastron. which Is now preferred to the
waistcoat. Plush ornaments are most
popular. and motif In passementeric
is often added either to the corner OF
the plastron or ut the waist. The motif
represents nuts or any other dry autumn
fruit. but so well initiated that they
might be taken for real ones. These
are the latest novelties introduced by
our leading passemcntier. Large square
collars opening over the plastron are
still In favor.
The Moycn Age poitrinal !, another
novelty. II is a breast piece Of peculiar
form, embroidered on satin, moirc and
velvet, with colorcd beads and with
flowers in the feathers Of the Impeyan
pheasant. These have an extraordinary
brilliant effect. and are finished OF ut
the edge with narrow but rich gold
braid. For low bodices there arc gallons
to match the poitrinals. which are car
ricd 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 Moycn
Age bucklcrs. They are either ar
ranged in sets of two on the bodices
that fas,en ut the side or two are
placed at the waist. They are almost
works OF art.
Embroidcries for trimming dresses
are now sold separately, and are in
great variety. They are In plush np.
pliquc on 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 aud
silks on cloth ground. For silk cos.
tunes the most beautiful embroidery
is in beads and olivettes-a sort OF

AN ARCTIC ENTHUSIAST.
Ills Recent Efforts to Reach the siberifr
Rivers by Sea.


Ills Recent Effort, to Reach the Siberian
Rivers by Sea.
A very wealthy Russian named NJ.
Sibcriakofl has made himself famous by
his persistent and costly efforts to
demonstrate that trade route can DO
opened through part of the Arctic
Ocean. His experiments have cost
hundreds Of thousands OF dollars, but
no reverse has yet discouraged him.
and year after year he repeats his at
tempt to send steam vessels from Eu.
rope to the mouths Of two OF the great
rivers of Siberia on the shores OF the
Arctic Sea.
The thing has been done several
times, and what NJ. Siberiakof believes
and has been trying to demonstrate Is
that every year European freight can
be taken by steamer to the OBJ
and Yencsei Rivers, and then
through those great streams to
the Siberian settlements on their
banks. the vessels returning to Europe
laden with Asiatic products. OF course
II this route were practicable II would
make the rich products and population
of North Asia far more accessible to
the merchants of Western Europe than
they can be by any other route.
In 1878 Nordenskjold reached the Yen.
esei in little vessel, steamed up the
river for some distance. and returned
TO Europe in the same season con.
vinced that late every summer 1t was
practicable to reach the Oh and Yene-
sci. Then followed his famous voyage
along the entire north coast Of Asia.
M. Siberiakofr bore part Of the cost,
and his steamer, tho Lena, accom-
panied Nordenskjold to the Lena
River, which II asccndcd TO Yakutsk.
Nordenskjold came home more firmly
than ever persuaded that steam vessels
could reach the great Siberian rivers
every summer.
Every year since 1879 NJ. Siberiakof
has despatched expeditions from Europe
for the Oh and Yenesei Rivers. Only
one Of his vessels has reached Its des-
tination. That was the steamer Oscar
Dickson, which reached the Oh in the
fall Of 1880. but in the following year,
before she had started on her return
trip, she was crushed In the Ice and
sank. Nothing dauntcd, M. Siberiakoff
loaded the steamer Nordenskjold with
English merchandise and sent her on,
with instructions to return the follow.
ing season with cargo Of Asiatic
produce which he had sent down the
Yenesei to meet his vessel. The Nor.
ienskjold found the ice-barrier In the
Kara sea impenetrablc, and had to put
back to Europe. In 1888 the indomit-
able Russian sent three steam vessels
on the same voyage. He had cstab-
lished a merchandise depot at Sastor-
ovski. on the Yenesei, and he scnt the
steamer Oh to ply between that point
and the mouth Of the river. Tho Nor
denskjold also steamed away well
loaded. and hoped to return richly
treighted tho following year. The third

but none Of the vessels reached the
Siberian rivers. II was In this exccp-
tionably bad Ice season that the explor.
ing vessels Dijmphna and varna were
caught In the aoes Of Kara Sea. The
varna went TO tho bottom and the
Dijmphna had to return to Europe In q
damaged condition.
NJ. Siberiakofs ventures In the
Arctic Ocean have now cost him about
five hundred thousand dollars. He
has not received o dollar In RETURN
Only one Of his vessels has reached the
rivers. and It was crushed In the Ice
pack before It turned homeward. Still
the Russian millionaire does not seem
discouraged. His vessels set out as
regularly as the seasons come around.
In July last he started himself from
Archangel on the Nordenskjold. but,
In consequence Of the compact masses
Of Ice in tho Kara Sea, he had to rc-
turn. He has recently been impressed
with new idea, and, perhaps. 1t will
dislodgc the ruling passion that has
cos, him so much money. He has this
summer been building 3 wagon road
between Plethora, which Is u point In
Russia on the Arctic Ocean, and q
navigablc ahluent Of the OF River,
AMI he Is confident that by this means
he will greatly facilitate commerce be-
