DRESSES FOR GIRLS.
The Latest Fashions in Young Ladies Wca,
Carefully Described.

SdTeiuhy DescriDeus
Girls Just in their teens have tailor.
made dresses of Cheviot or of twilled
flannel for school or general wear in
the dark quelt colors in vogue for ladies.
These are made in very simple styles,
with plated and belted basque, and a
plated skirt on which is draped an
apron over-skirt. The belted basque
may be double or single breasted. and
has two plaits down each front and in
the back, stitched like two narrow tucks
turned away from each other, yet made
to represent a box plait. Only one dart
is in each front, and when the bust is
not developed even this dart is omitted,
and the slight sloping needed is given
by curving the seam that joins side
form to the front; this is an under-arm
piece, and must not be considered the
side form of the back. The neck is
finished with broad standing band, OF
else there is turned-over collar, which
may be plain Byron collar, or else
notched like that of mans morning
coat. The sleeves are plainly stitched
or braided near the wrists. The basque
is of even length all around, and its
edges, with the belt also, are either
stitched or braided. One or two rows
of half-inch mohair braid is the trim
ming most used. The lower skirt
reaches just to the top of the boots, and
is laid in kilt plaits at least four inches
wide; these are attached to very deep
yoke-like piece, and the slight drapery
is sewed to the belt above it. This
dress is neat and girlish when made OF
the rough-fnished Cheviots that have
illuminated threads on a ground OF
brown or of very dark maroon. Navy
blue serge is similarly made, and is
trimmed with either black, blue, or car
dinal red braid. Sailor blouse suits of
Glue flannel, with the skirt in wide kilt
plaits, are still liked for school dresses,
and are made heavy and warm for wine
ter.
For still better dresses the finer broad
cloths and closely twilled Oxford suit
ings are used in golden brown, dull red,
blue and green cloths. These are
trimmed with rows of soutache braid OF
the same shade. and perhaps little gilt
braid is added. The basque is rounded
up shorter in the back, and there is a
narrow vest of some contrasting color.
or else it is braided Some Of these
dresses have tucks for their only crna-
ment, the entire front and side gores
being tucked, while others have wide
Hercules braid set on in parallel rows.
When the skirt is laid in box plaits, two
ucks each an inch wide above hem
give pretty finish. Harper's Bazaar

A LIZARD OF THE SEA.

The Marvellous Adventure of a Whaling
Crew Up Where the Icebergs Stand.
The whaling bark Alaska, which ar
rived in this port few days ago from
the Arctic Ocean, brings strange
story of the narrow escape from death
of six of her crew The first officer,
George johnson, stated the circum.
stances to a Chronicle reporter, as
follows: On the 10th of last October,
when the vessel was forty-six miles
south of Alaska, an object was per.
ceived in the distance whose proper
tons and shape indicated it to be a
monster sea lion. A boat was imme-
diately lowered and placed in charge of
First Officer johnson and five of the
crew, named Andrew Nelson, William
Wilson, Antoine Niaga, George Marsh
field and Hans Stuten. As the distance
was being decreased between the boat
and the huge animal they became con-
vinced that it was the famed sea SER
pent. When they came within few
hundred yards the monster made a
dash for the boat, striking out it's i'm

The Way Meals are Served in New

Few set tables. You are served in
the morning before you get out of bed
with cup of coffee as good as can be
found anywhere in the world, and some
bread or little Creole pie crust cakes.
There is no trouble about your meals.
There is a restaurant on every corner
or so, or you can have your meals served
hot, and at the most reasonable rates.
AS general thing, however, they do
not Ego in heavy for breakfast here.
Your coffee is supposed to satisfy you
until midday, when you take a slight
lunch at some saloon. About six in the
evening you sit down to the big meal of
the day. Supper there is none, unless
you drop in at the theater, after which
you eat something light Thus, at least.

that it is the most comfortable way TO

rather remarkable for his aversion to

summer days when the fellow lay in

to take him to a doctor during the

HOW CHOLERA TRAVELS.

The question wig cholera remained
thousand years in India before it first
began to migrate is one, of great inter-
est, but one which canno5 be satisfac-
torily answered. The principal consid-
GRAFTON appears to be that the event
happened at the time when intercom-
muncation in all directions both by
water and land, had become more
rapid. The first steamship appeared
in the Indian waters at the beginning
of the second decade of the present
century. By land also intercourse was
greatly accelerated. The Russians
possibly took cholera from India,
Arabia, Afghanistan or Persia, through
couriers and stage coaches. 1t soon
became clear that cholera, the specific
cholera-germ, was in some way or other
propagated along the paths of human
Intercourse, and it also became evident
that unless the germs found a suitable
soil within a certain time they did not
flourish. Observers soon discovered
that cholera was more prone TO appear
in certain regions and to affect certain
localities, while it stunned other dis
tricts, and, again, that other regions
We're only visited at intervals of many
years. 1t is also a fact that Asiatic
cholera never yet appeared at a place
which had not previously been in COM
munication with region where choI-
era prevailed, and further, that the
disease from an infected locality never
yet passed on to another place if the
journey lasted certain time without
interruption. The large intercourse
between India and Europe, more par
ticularly England, by means of ships
which sailed round the Cape of Good
Hope, have never succeeded in carry
ing cholera from India to England

THE GIRL FROM DAKOTA.

young woman with compact
frame and a fresh complexion arrived
at the Rock Island depot the other day
from the north. She got right off the
train without any foolishness, and
walked toward the street As she
reached the sidewalk she set her big
satchel down with dull tnud and
stood for moment looking around, as
III uncertainty. Adepotporter asked
her if he should not carry her satchel
to carriage, and hack driver made
snatch for it.
Drop that!" said she to the latter,
kicking it out of his hand; and as he
stood back respectfully, she turned to
the porter and observed, II can carry
anything that you can, thank you"
Just then u policeman came around
the corner, and seeing what he sup
posed was an outrageous attempt on
the part of the men to impose on an
unsophisticated girl, rushed up and
grabbed the satchel
''Come on Miss said he, where do
you wish to go?''
He had hardly got the words out of
his mouth when the girl executed a
flank movement and tripped him up as
cleverly as a professional could have
done. Selling her satcheI she observed:
When I've got any use for any Of
you tenderfeet I'll just call on you I'm
down here on a little pleasure tour
from Dakota. and I want the city of
Chicago to understand right here that
don't need any help. The last thing
did before leaving my farm was to
carry forty-fve bags of potatoes on nv
shoulder to my nearest neighbor. a
mile and a half away, and if can't get
around this here town with this little
shopping bag I'll go to the infirmary. =
She was about go on, and her three
auditors were sinking away, when a
fresh young man, a hotel runner, came
up, and taking in the situation at a
glance said:
Right this way Miss. Let me help
you with your baggage
He never got any further. The girl
picked up her grip and dropped the
young man as she had dropped the
policeman. Then the others laughed.
and as the young man moved off, she
observed:
IF you buffers were up at Grand
Forks, do you know what wet do with
you? We'd organize a home for the
aged, and clap you in it the first thing.
