SPRING DRESSES.


Materials and Trimmings, and How They
are Fashioned.
Cashmere of the finest twills will be
used for both house and street dresses
in the early spring months, and for
cool days in summer. All the light
shades of reseda, ashes-of-roSes, olive,
and brown are largely imported, and
are to be employed for the entire dress
when it is made tailor fashion, but
there are velvets of similar shades to
be combined with it for more elaborate
costumes. Gilt braiding, not merely In
parallel lines, but in embroidery de-
signs of vines for borders, or separate
figures, stars, blocks or crescents, will
be The trimmings when only cashmere
is used When velvet is employed
there will be fine cords and piping folds
edging various parts of the corsage,
while folds or bands of velvet will trim
the skirt. Those who object to velvet
as heavy for summer dresses will have
the accessories of watered silk or OF
gros faille of the same shade. Black
cashmere with close silk embroidery
upon it in interlnked rings, leaves,
daisies, or other small flowers will
form the over-dress for skirts of gros
grain or more silks, and for quite
young lad es the gilt or silver wrought
cashmeres will be employed. A pretty
model for these has all the visible front
part of the skirt covered with two very
deep tlounces of gathered gros grain
cut out on the lower edges to form
leaves that curve toward one side.
Above this falls two irregular draperies
of cashmere. with interlinked rings EN-
bro!dered all over il; the drapery on
the left side curves much deeper than
that on the RICH! side, and each is car.
ried up to the waist on the sides to
meet Il long breadth of cashmere that
covers the entire back of the skirt.

scarfs set on down the front, and made
of the silk used in the skirt. Otherwise
the basque is very plainly fashioned,
and may have Il slight position pleat-
ing, or else be smooth over the tour
noure; it is necessary. however, that it
be quite short on the sides and behind
in order to be in good style.
When watcrcd silk is used, it is more
effective as plastron put on quite
plainly in curve extending to the top
of the darts in front, and about the
same depth behind For young ladies
there are laced girdle fronts made of
MORE or of velvet from six TO eight
inches deep, set in the front darts, and
laced with gilt cord or silk lacing
string over soft shirred corSage of
the wool or of silk. Another youthful
fancy has Sits cut in the edges of the
basque over the hips, and thcsl Sits are
laced together witha cord and tassel of
gilt silver or of silk. Sometimes folds
of velvet in which gilt or silver braid
is tied along the edges trim the front
of the wa st and the skirt Pointed
revers of velvet or of grOS Grain or
moirc will be arranged in various ways
on cashmere and Oh Bcngalinc silks.
The single rcycrS all on one side of the
corsage front is newer than that placed
on each side, and promises to be used
especially when the opposite side is
richly braided. For slight figures it is
a good plan to make very narrow and
flat vest of velvet or silk with 4 stand
ing collar to match, and outside of the
vest add shirred scarf of the wool of
the dress waist. Sometimes this full
ness is made OF the front part of the
waist itself pushed back on the lining.
The cut-awny buSques will also be made
again, sloping back toward the sides
from the top of the first dart, The
space inside may be covered pllinl Y as
vest, or it may have Il shirrcd bib-like
piece in one with the front of the over
skirt, in the fashion worn last year.
Side drapcries falling in waved iabot
folds on the skirt are to be lined with
velvet or silk that will come into sight
IN each layer of the folds.
Instead of severely plain bands or
folds for trimming skirts there win now
be vandykes. scallops or leaf points on
the upper edge, while other folds will
have openings or Sits cut at regular
intervals. and through these will be
drawn gilt or silver braid. Tucks will
be more used than at any previous
season, and these will also be decorated

N. Y. Tribune.
A child with two tongues is said to
bc living at YOnkers, n. Y. The sec
ond tongue has grown from the root
and on top of the first. The mother
first noticed it when the child was three
days old. 1t was then quite small, but
it is now nearly rs large as the real
tongue. The anterior part of the up
per tongue looks natural, but the pos
terror part is CONSTRUCTED and round,
giving the unnatural growth Il pear
shape. The child, now two years old,
has never experienced any difficulty in
swallowing It's food or in breathing,
looks natural in every other way, and
has always been healthy.
Prof. Simon Newcomb, in review
ing the performances of the Georgia
Wonder Girl Miss Lulu Hurst, in
Science, says her success affords a
striking example of the unreliability Of
human test mOny respecting the phe-
nOmcna of force and action. He points
out that her manifestations We're purely
physical and the result OF force being
cxerted under favorable conditions,
Though ordinary observers We're
mystilied, yet the character of the
performances, according to Prof. New
comb, was absurdly simple, and illus
trates the credul t. OF believers in the
movements OF chairs, tables, and pianos
without human agency.
In an historical sketch in the Bridge
Wdter independent it is stated that
probably the first organ built in this
country was made by Mr.. Josiah Rich
ards, at West Bridgewater. about 1925.
He removed the drawers from an old
book case and put pipes and bellows in
their places, using for stops the sliders
which supported the writng-desk leaf
when open. This novel instrument
worked so well that some person
bought it. Mr.. Richards then built
another, the case being constructed at
the furniture warehouse of Josiah
Kingmar, at "the Plain" now Cam
pello. in the course of his life Mr..
Richards made about thirty pipe
organs, some of which are still in use

Enough Farmers.

1t is quite probable that the present
low prices of all kinds of farm prod
ucts may have quieting effect upon
our city philanthropists who have for
many years advised every poor man
with II family to go into the country
and become farmer. The young man
who went West ten or twenty years ago
and bought farm probably sees as lit
tie money for his labor as those who re-
NAMED near their old homes and
worked in some shop or even upon the
farm. There are certainly enough
farmers at present. and the more com
petition the worse it will be for those who
own farms and can not dispose of them
without serious loss Other industries
must take the surplus laborers, or agri-
culture will suffer more in the future
than in the past presently T. Sun.
