Fernandina, Fla, Sept. 90, 1885.

Gov. Moody, of Oregon, has
called a special session of the Leg.
islature Of that State to meet on
Nov. 0. The object is to elect a
United States Senator TO fill the
vacancy caused by the expiration
last March of the term Of ex Sena-
tor Slater. The failure to perform
this duty during the regular ses-
sion last winter has caused much
uDcasiness among the Republicans
throughout the country. There are
some doubts as to Gov. Moodv's
right to appoint Senator, and,
while the present body is Republi-
can, there is no certainty that the
next Legislature will be ofthe same
political faith.

A German traveller in Africa,
who witnessed cannlbal feast of
the Pauhins tribe, says the young
women who participated were the
most raveneus and gluttonous.
They ate incredible quantities of
flesh, and at the close of the feast,
carried off all the bones that had
been picked clean. Hunger was
not the motive, for they feed every
day on antelope and white boar.
They prefer the flesh of a white
person to that of a negro.

London, Oct. 22.-The official
blue book, giving the history of
the negotiations between Great
Britain and Russia. regarding the
Afghan frontier question, was is
sued TO day. 1t is much more In
terestlng reading than such sum-
maries gen@ally are. and it gives
all the information that will ever
be officially supplied regarding the
crisis of last spring, which most
people believed would eliminate

The publication of the blue
book at this time is bound to have
a great effect upon English poll.

tain TO be more favorable to the
Conservative than to the Liberal
party. The Afghan controversy
began during the late Liberal ad-
ministratlon and was brought to a
close by the present Conservative
Government.
About one-half of the British
dispatches published in the book
are signed by Lord Granville, OF
Mr.. Giadstone's Cabinet, and the
other half by Lord Salisbury, the
present Premier and Foreign Sec.
retary.
The contrast between the dis
patches of the two statesmen is
most marked. Lord Granville's
utterances are characterized by
weakness and stiffness. They
frequently show much craftiness,

Lord Salisbury's dispatches, on
the other hand, are noticeahly firm
and vigorous. Their perusal has a
breezy aud refreshing effect upon
the reader after the paltering plat
itudes that precede them. 1t is

the first time, revealed to the
world. 1t deserves to rank, and
doubtless will rank, alongside of
the British triumph won by Lords
Salisbury aud Bescons6eld in the
diplomatic tournament known to
history as the Berlin Congress.
From the momept That Lord Sal

Revised Old Testament.

The revised version of the old testa-
ment is completed and ready for the
market. From one of our exchanges
we take the following which speaks of
some very important errors which has
been found and are accounted for that
the earlier translators were at fault in
natural history Some of the errors
were very wide of the mark. For in

Some of these msinterpretations are SO
completely unlike the real meaning that
there is no way to account for them,
unless it is to be supposed that the trans
ators of the authorized version, not
knowing the signification OF the words,
simply guessed.

Peoples Feet in Different Sections.

"There is decided difference in the
shape of peoples feet in different Sec
tions of the country" SAID member of
one of the largest shoe manufacturing
firms in PHILADELPHIA. "In the eastern
states the feet are narrower and some-
what longer than in the west, while in
the south they are not only narrow but
possess very much higher insteps. So
much is this the case that we are oblig.
ed to keep three sets of lasts for the
three sections. That comes to be large
item, can assure you, when it is re-
membered the number of sizes that are
in zach set.
For example, in one size alone we
have the initial number-say seven /;
then there are narrow seven, broad
seven, seven and quarter marrow and
broad), seven and half marrow and
broad)-that is, twelve pairs of lasts to
one size, and to each of these sizes we
must have three different styles for the
section of the country to which we are
going to send our goods-that is,
thirty-six pairs of lasts to one size pair
of boots. Sounds rather extravagaut,
doesn't it OF course, this is only the
case with firms who deal with all these
sections.
"Some firms only send their goods to
one part of the country. Now, you
would be surprised to be told that in
different sections of the country differ
ent shapes of toes of boots are requir.
ed. Out in the west nothing will suit
but the square-toed shoe, whereas in
the eastern states the square toe would
be in stock Ia century and then never
sell. Different parts OF the country re-
quire different kinds of leather, also.
In the north and west tougher, hard
er leather can be worn than in the
south, where not only soft upper is
necessary, but, owing to the sandy. hot
soil, quite thin soles are necessary. For
this kind of wear it is not unusual to
use imported leather-that is, for the
'uppers'--but for soles we employ do
mestic productions almost exclusively.

When the Susquehanna valley was

Ladies Using Figures upon which to fit
Garments Made by Themselves.

A curious feature of the home dress
making furor that has seized upon so
many ladies this spring is the introduc-
tion of what are termed figure forms.
Ladies who never thought of such a
thing before are making large part of
their outfits themselves, aud even young
ladies in society, though they dare not
trust themselves to get up their own
fines: things, are trying their hands,
with what assistance they can get, at
making their own tennis suits and
knock, about dresses for the mountains
and seashore.
These figure-forms are made of pa
pier mache and can easily be adjust
ed to any height. They also come in
SO many varieties and sizes that with
very little change and alteration they
can be made exact fac SMILES of the
figures of the ladies who use them, with
every proportion of bust, arm, neck
aud waist exact. With one of these a
lady has comparatively little difficulty
in fitting herself. With completed
parts of costume draped on the lay
figures she contrasts and studies the
effect, as we'll as examine the fit, and
Is thus enabled to tell satisfactorily in
advance how everything will look.
Going step further some ladies have
heads on their figure forms, on which
they place and fit hats and bonnets and
are in this way enabled to study out
and anticipate every detail of their APP
pearance.
This plan of having models has been
found so convenient that number of
fashionable and wealthy ladies who
have a great many dresses made and
who are anxious to avoid the fatigue
and annoyance of so many fittings
have themselves carefully reproduced
in papier mache, so that when they
come to see about suit they stretch
themselves back at ease in a cushione d
chair and wait while the dress maker
tells her assistant to "bring down Miss
Smith or "Mrs. Brown out of the clos
et," as the case may be. The dresses
are then fitted on the lay figure
