The English Girls secret of Beauty.
Mar ORalns Nav Rool

The Frenchwoman is moro graceful and
piquant than the Englishwoman; but she is
less healthy and less fresh. She has nvelier
eyes, a p~rettier mouth, n better figure; but
her skin is \ less fair and clear. Walking and
bathing, this is the secret OF the beauty and
healthfulness of the Englishwoinan. They
fear neither shower-baths nor draughts.
They sleep with open windows, and in tho
morning they deluge themselves with cold
water. In winter the more timid take a
sponge-bath, and rub themselves from head
to foot to stimulate the circulation, till the
skin cries for mercy. The appetite thus
sharpened, they go down to breakfast fresh
and vigorous, make a hearty meal Of eggs
and cold meat, and then start for a country
walk or a game Of lawn-tennisn

FALL COSTUMES.
TIE Latest Designs for Stylish Autumn
Dresses.


Combinations of plain and fgm
goods will be used again for autun
and winter dresses. For wooden GO
tunes two kinds of wool will be choSer
one of which is plain, and the othei
striped or in small set figures The
newest stripes shown are rough boucle
or Astrakhan cloths. alternating with
smoother stufs, which, however. arc
only smooth by comparison, as they are
heavily twilled, or in such wide diagonal
lines that each line stands out like
separate row of braid. The boucle
stripes are very effective, and will re-
tain their appearance because they are
formed of curls oy loops Of tightly
twisted threads Of mohair that are i'm
pervious to dampness, and are not
easily crushed out of shape. Woven
borders near single selvedge are parts
Of many dress patterns, and these are
of boucle stripes broad enough ID be
arranged as panels or as entire front OF
skirts in combination with the plain
goods. Ten yards of double-width
wooden goods are sold as a press pat
tern, and in the new combinations there
are two and half yards of fancy striped
or figured stuff with seven and half of
plain material. The plan remains in
favor of using plain goods for the cor
sage, sleeves and drapery, confining the
figured material to the lower skirt, and
as garniture for. the plain cersage. A
panel, border at the foot, narrow
front bresdth, or else the entire front
and side breadths, are to be made Of
the figured goods, and if sash of the
material is used. the figured fabric
forms the end of the wide sash of the
plain stutl. On the basque there are
figured striped bretelles, or reyers, or a
plastron, and in many cases an entire
vest in the fashion of the present sea-
son. THE very high band or officers
collar and the small cuffs may be of
velvet or plush entirely different from
the other parts of the dress, but they
are also made of the figured or striped
goods. Flounces are not used on these
heavy fabrics, and plaits of skirts are
very scant, with all their breadth
thrown on the outside TO look wide,
while many skirts have the front and
sides entirely plain, with plaits only in
the back. k.-Harper'S' BazGr.

The "Mousquetaire." Z"

A Partisan paper prints some anus
ing "reminiscences of Alexandra Dumas
short-livcd paper, the M0usquGtdire
The romancer, whose little idiosyncr,
sizes were well known, inserted daily
notice to the eject that the editor
would receive neither complimentary
tickets tor the thcaters, nor books for
review, since he made it rule to pay
for the one and TO buy the other.
Nevertheless the contributor TO the
MoMS1Ue;dirc who writes these remnis-
cenceS says that he neve- received 50
many books and stalls; whenever he
asked the cashier for iive-franc Iiece
to buy u stall he was laughed
at. and he was Obliged to allow
himself to be corrupted. The daily re-
ccipts OF the paper were from GIG to
f20; but Dumas had always some jew
to quiet, or some bonne annie to soothe,
and the cash-boX was usually empty
like the pockets of the printer and pa
per-maker. The unfortunate cashier,
who had to bear the heat and burden
of the demands for money, spent his
time in reading Jerusalem Delivered. {"
The contributors were no better off
than the printer. and when they asked
Michel, the caShier-he had formerly
been one of Dumas gardeners at the
Chateau de Monte Cristo for the price
of an article, he would show them with
melancholy air his empty cash box.
Like so many of the romancer's miar
enterprises, the HousqHetaire at length
came to an inglorious end.

DlSINFECTING RAGS.

The System Adopted at Brooklyn to Pre-
vent the Introduction of Cholera Germs.
The process of disinfection by super
heated steam as now practiced at the
Baltic Stores, in Brooklyn, is believed
to be the complete solution of a problem
which has occasioned so much worr-
ment. 1t is the practical application of
steam of any desired temperature and
time to bale goods. The apparatus con-
sists OF an ordinary engine of sufficient
power and boiler strength with an at
tached superheater To this is append
ed series of iron boxes about the
shape of and large enough to admit II
bale of rags pushed in endwise. Each
one of several boxes has penetrating
through, from the rear end, five gim!et-
bit screws nearly as long as bale of
rags, enlarged from point to about
two inches in diameter, and at such
distance apart as to about equally divide
the end of bale. These screws are
hollow and perforated in their whole
circumference and length and, more
over, each one is the terminus of
steam escape cock, The screws are
rapidly revolved by the machinery. On
pushing in bale of rags it no sooner
comes in contact with the points of the
screws than it is drawn with the great
est rapidity, The box is then closed by
flap-door, hinged at the top, and the
steam turned on-in through the screws,
and around the bale. In two or three
minutes the temperature of the bale
throughout as thus exposed can be
raised to three hundred and thirty d.
grees +. (or more if required), and sus-
tanned for any desired length of time
As practiced at the Baltic Stores the
bales are kept in the boxes about tea
minutes. But they become so thorough
" penetrated with heat during that
time that high temperature is kept up
for several hours after they are removed
This is tested by pushing thermome-
ter into the screw holes. The whole
apparatus may be erected on board OF
a lighter, and be used with increased
facility 10 commerce aaoat-M y
