PnEcrIn The @ .nnfru

A craze for draw-poker has gradually devel
oped itself in the towns along this division of
the New York, Lake Erie and Western rail-
road, writes an Orlean correspondent of The
Ner.. York Sun. 1t has affected rich and poor,
young and old. Tlme-honored and semi
wicked euchre and dignifed and eminently
respectable whist are now seldom heard of In
lively social gatherings hereabouts. The
fashionable card--party now involves an
ante of cents and limit of 25 cents. So
ciety ladies can talk by the hour about the
game, for its mysteries are to them as an
open book.
Two well-known young ladies of this vii

meet in the boss dry-gOods store of the
place the other day. One of them was max

she had said she didn't think she could af-

fair companion as to why she had changed
her mind. What followed is on the word Of
a store-owner:
O"Jack called last night" said the lady who
had changed her mind, land by and by

MIR. washburne's Predicament.

Probably one of the greatest Minis
tiers we ever had abroad was WASH
burne at Paris He made more of q
mark for himself in modern times than
any Minister We have sent to Europe.
Yet Washburne was the hero of an in
cident of social misfortune which would
have driven any of the delicate crea-
lures now swarming after a foreign
place to commit suicide, if they had
been similarly unfortunate. WASH
burne was one evening at a court dim
ner given by Napoleon Ill. 1t was the
custom at these dinners when the En-
press arose to retire with the ladies,
for the gentlemen to rise from their
seats and step back from the table
so that she could pass down the line
between them. By this all could avoid
turn ne their back upon the Empress.
Washburne had very tender feet.
During the dinner his feet gave him a
great deal of annoyance. To ease him
self he had quietly 81 pped off his pat
ent leather pumps under the table. He
was absorbed in conversation toward
the close of the dinner. and was caught
unawares when the Empress made the
signal of departure. He was obliged
to step back without having time to
put on his pumps. He stood in his
stocking-feet, grave. dignitied and self
possessed, in the row of grinning diplo-
mats who stood at his right and left.
He betrayed none of the embarrass-
ment that he must have felt, and was
never heard to allude to the incident
by any one.-St. Louis Globe-Denocrat.

SPRING WOOLENS.
A Description of the Various Fabrics Use
For Ladies' Costumes.


For Ladies' Costumes.
Tufted woods, serges, canvas cloths,
and mohairs are general terms for the
various wool-stuffs used for spring
dresses. The tufted woods have the APP
pearance of being very heavy, but are
really of the light weight necessary for
warm weather. as they are very sleazily
woven, the bulk of the wool being laid
in rough and fuzzy cross-bars or stripes
similar to those goods Familiarity known
as bourette, while others with still
deeper fleece are called Astrakhan cam
vas because of their resemblance to that
fur. The canvas cloths have sometimes
square meshes precisely like the canvas
used for embroidery, and are then
called etamine, while others are merely
sheer, like scrim, or like batiste. There
are silk, wool, and linen canvas cloths,
and all these are made in single color
for the whole or for only a part of the
dress. while many are accompanied by
striped fabrics in which velvet or satin,
silk or MORE stripes alternate with
those of the canvas. These canvas
stuffs are the novelt es of the
season, but it is not probable that they
will take the place of the smoother
woolens known as mousse.ine de lajne,
nuns yelling, albatro S, etc. However,
to make the latter remain popular. new
features are introduced, Sucn as silk
warp, which, being added to the she er
fine wool of nuns Yelling. gives an eX-
quisitely soft fabric, while on the
slightly heavier woods are printed or
embro dered figures in contrasting col
ors, and still others are made of two
widely different changing colors- What
is called sweet-pea color, showing first
red and then blue. is in favor for young
ladies' dresses either of wool or of silk,
while brown with blue. or gold with
black, is shown for those who are older.
The serges, Cheviots and bison cloths
sold in sheer qualities for about 81 a
yard in double widths are the popular
fabrics for dresses for general wear;
for the street they are chosen in quiet
dark brown, dim blue and biege
shades, while for the house the prefer
ence is given to white, cream or fawn-
colored serges, and talors are also
making them in rose pink and pale
blue shades. White braid interviewer
with gilt or silver. and white wool
lace, are the trimmings for such
dresses. In most shops there are pat
tern dresses, in boxes, made of serge
or yelling that has several wards of
bordered stripes for trimming, or else
it is accompanied by wool lace to be
put on plainly or in flounces, or to
represent full skirt by being a single
deep tiounce. The mohairs and al
pacas that English tailors and fash on
able modistes import in fawn, beige,
pearl gray and ecru shades have APP
peared In the large dry goods stores,
where they are also shown in white
grounds with black, red. brown or blue
diamond-shape figures. or with stripes.
The colored mohairs are meant for
travelling and walking dresses to take
the place of cloth tailor suits, but last

GAS TAR.
Its Value as Preservative From Attack:
of ENDEMIC Diseases.

Its Value as q Preservative From Attacks
of Epidemic Diseases.
The serious outbreak of cholera with
which France has recently been visited
has caused inquiry to be made as to the
extent to which persons engaged in
particular manufacturing operat ons
enjoy immunity from or are rendered
more susceptible to the attacks of cpl
demic disease. 1t has been known al
most ever since the establishment of
gasworks that the exhalations arising
in the various processes of gas manu-
facture-although, perhaps, not spe-:
cially pleasing to the olfactory organs
are not detrimental to health, but,
on the contrary, highly beneficial in
spec al forms of diseases, such as
whooping cough and Group. The ex-
tensive use, in throat ailments, of prep
arations in which some form of carbolic
acid figures largely is testimony to
the value of this derivative of coal tar
as therapeutic agent. A recent issue
of the journal des tSiaes q Gaz con-
tains an article in which particulars are
given respecting certain Investigations
made by DIR. Lemaire some years ago
into the subject of the influence
of coal tar and its derivatives upon the
health of the workmen employed in
the preparation of these substances.
His inquiries were made chiefly in con-
nection with the employees of the Paris
Gas Company. He found that those
whose duties did not necessitate a pro-
longed stay in the parts of the works
where tar was TO be found were liable
to all kinds of ailments, and formed q
considerable proport on of the number
on the sick list; while among the work
men specially occupied with tar, only
three were sick in the course of seven
years. This result is all the more strik-
ing when the number of workmen in
the service of the company at the period
referred to is considered. There were
altogether 20,5 men, of whom 76i
were engaged in some occupation con-
nected with tar. DIR. Lemaire also
cites the case of the Bayonne gasworks
where the workmen had not only not
been attacked by cholera during its pre-
valence. but generally enjoyed immunity
from skin diseases. NJ. Bouley. pro-
fessor at the veterinary school at Al
fort. found as long ago as 1860 that gas
works employees escaped during cholera
epidemics, and the communication of
this fact to DR.. Lemaire cause6 him to
institute his inquiries into the subject

Worthy Tribute to the Memory of a Re
loved Wife.
Thomas Holloway is a very rich En-
lish man who is now building the largest
woman's college on the globe. 1t is
being erected as an offering of respect
to the memory of his dead wife. The
location is at Mount Lee, near Windsor
Park. not far from London. 1t COM
priSes ninety-siX acres of beautifully
located ground. The building is to be
rectangular in form, measuring $40
feet from east to west, and $40 from
north to south. The plan is simple,
consisting of two long blocks each six
stories high, running parallel to each
other and connected in the middle and
at either end by lower cross build
ines. There are to be accommodations
for 800 students, each having two
rooms. Every sanitary provision has
been observed in the construction of the
building, which is now near completion.
This institution is designed to give a
suitable education to women of the
middle classes. Every student is to be
allowed to have complete freedom on
religious matters; but the internal gov
eminent will be that of an orderly
Christian household. The total eudow-
ment of Mr.. Holloway will amount to
about IS, 100000 I'm the past the edu-
cation of women was considered of
minor Importance; but this college for
women VIII, when completed. be the
costliest institution of learning ever
brought into being by a single bene-
factor. No worthier tribute could be
paid to the memory of beloved wife.
