BASE BALL.
The E. G. Curtis of Thibodaux defeat
the Charlets of Paincourtyille.

Last Sunday evening, one Of tae liveliest
and most interesting games of ball that has
eHer been played here, was played bet cen
the above named base ball clubs. in the spa
cious park Of Mr.. II. Tetreau situated at a

Conmodious seats had been provided, and
placed in the shade of the trees in the park,
for the ladies who had been invited and who
were to grace the assemblage by their pres
ence. and at the hour agreed upon for the
playing of the game fully five hundred spec
%tators. of whom not less than one hundred
and fifty We're ladies', had assembled OH tho
grounds to witness 1t.
At clock precisely, the players crossed
bats and the game commenced. Up to the
fifth inning. it would nave teen a very diff.
cult matter to decide which of the clubs
would be the victor. as the scor. stood 5 to
). but from that time on the Curtis, reali-
zins that they were dealing with men who
understood their business, played with re-
newed energy and did some very good bat.
ting which made them win the game by
several points.

Tailor.Made Jackets.

There is only one place in which man
can detect the difference between the
genuine and the bogus tailor-made jacket.
That place is the theatre. Your real
swell, who backs her style with q
plethoric portemonnaie, walks to her
orchestra chair, shrugs her shoulders
with a compressive wriggle that drops
the collar of the jacket down her ba:k,
pulls one sleeve OF and then the other,
and finally folds the garment outside in
with much ostentatious Indifference and
tosses it over the back of the chair so as
to have the collar with the Fifth avenue
label exposed exactly under the nose of
the lady in the seat behind her. The
spurious and economical swell does moth
ing of that sort. Reaching her seat she
turns her back to the stage and her face
to the folks in the next row b,ck, squirms
out Of her jacket, folds it outside out,
aud hangs it so skiIfully over the back
of her chair that no one but mind
reader can ever discover whether it has
the right stamp within or no stamp at
all. But everyone knows by the way
the garment is folded whether it is the
genuine article or not--Neu York Letter.

are more apt to live. This is supposed
to be o divine incorporation of Provi-

mumm es in swaddling clothes for six
months; then the boys are put in trou-
sers, sometimes in generals or colonels'
uniforms, regularly made.
When the Sultan takes wife no cere-
mony is considered necessary more than
to present his bride. The new Sultan

predecessor, and every year of his reign,
at the feast of the Ramazan, he receives
a new one from his mother and takes
any other girl or woman to his harem

who become mothers are instantly pro-
NOTED to the rank of Sultana. Six
months before the feast of Ramazan, the
Valide Su1tana orders that all the young
candidates be brought to her, and she
chooses fifteen and sometimes more OF

An Old Fashion Revived.

The old health:ul and happy fashion
of having one or two wide log fre-places
in either hail or library has been revived,
says an exchange. An increase in the
number of these is noted by architects
and designers, all of whom approve the
revival and predict the happiest possible
results from the fashion. There is no
home delight quite equal on long winter
NIGHTS to that of watching the great logs
as they slowly burn, sending their count
less sparks up the chimney. Where the
winter is mild this dreamy pastime ls
more or less circumscribed, of course,
but in the regions where winter means
something more than rain and mist, those
who once sit by such fireside never for.
get it afterward, and it is, perhaps, not
too much to say that they never arc
happy without one.

Fashion Notes.

Velvet is the material for winter bon
nets. e:
Black velvet bonnets with white
strings are very stylish. =.
The most stylish bonnets of the season
have soft crush crowns. :,
Point d. esprit is lace which will be
much worn this season.
Plaid neckties make bit of brightness
in little boys costumes.
The Dutch peasant costume is favor
ite dress for girls from six to ten years.
The plumage of the osprey is very
popular for millinery purposes this sea-
son.
Square and diamond-shaped buttons
are considered more stylish than round
ones.
Double revers, extending to the shoul-
ders, appear on some OF the new
dresses.
Plain skirts should be of richer mate
rial than that used for the rest OF the
costume.
Canvas, tweed and cheviot are the
leading dress materials this season for
general wear. -
Brocades in which are woven gold
threads are very elegant and stylish for
evening dresses
GRAY watered silk with black cashmere
is favorite combination for gowns for
elderly ladies. sas
Ahandsome fchu of tulle and old point
lace is sprinkled with tiny shells OF
mother-of-pearl.
Silver gilt bracelets are very narrow
and are set with turquoises after the
manner of garnets. =
"Sackcloth" is loosely-woven serge
of light weight which bids fair to be-
come popular, as it drapes nicely.
Black and yellow in combination has
not been seen in long time in elegant
costumes, but this winter it reappears. r
Dark red shades arc much used for
velvet toilets, and for use with these are
passementeries that have red stones In
them.
Many elegant imported suits are black
throughout, or else in combination with
white, Suede, green or the brighter or
dull red shades.
There is marked contrast in gowns
of French and English make, the former
being much gathered and puffed, the lat
ter plated and plain. +1.
Plaid velvet for petticoats to walking
suits are more and more popular as their
natty effect is appreciated. The same
paid appears on the bonnet or toque. .
Chestnut bells of cnameled silver, so
like the ripe nut that !: is hardly possi-
bic to distinguish them, are worn upon
bangles and keep up naturalization
with every movement of the wearer.
Popular combinations for elegant
gowns of satin and velvet are green and
b own, or heliotrope and Suede, or two
shades of heliotrope, green or brown,
the difference in shades often depending
merely on the difference of the two ma
terials

TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT.
Francis Murphy's Movements.

Francis Murphy, the temperance
apostle, returned recently to Pittsburg
from Ohio, where he said he had met with
wonderful success. At Bellcfontaine he
secured 1900 signers to the total
abstinence pledge; at Tiftin 4,50O, and
at other places as many more. His son
Edward obtained 1000 signcrs at Niles,
Michigan, one week. He was assisted
bya Catholic priest. Mr.. Murphy has
returned to Ohio. He expects TO obtain
10000 more signers before the end of
the year.

Chances of Matrimony.

I do not undertake to tell each Of my
fair readers how old she will be when

should prove to b. her destiny, but she
can be told what the chances are in the
present state of our knowledge of statis-
tical facts. If we take the weddings
that actually occur, we shall find that in
every thousand there will be 179 wives
under twenty years, while there will be
only nine husbands of that tender age.
But perhaps these facts will be better
stated as follows, thus: In every thou
sand marriages there will be-:

The Girl in Front.

She sat before me down the aisle,
She looked so sweet, SO free from guile,
sat and watched her for awhile,
Thoughtless Of pray'r.
She had fashionable hat
In shape the opposite Of fiat,
And all that could see was that
And her back hair.
Such shoulders, such perfect waist
A Grecian Venus might have graced,
Her toilet was in perfect taste
And fashion new.

Gas fair as dainty, and well Bred"
Then, when she turned her pretty head,
She turned mine, too.

The remainder, nine men and five
women, will be scattered along between
sixty and eighty years-an age at which
almost any one would be expected to
know better. 1t will be seen, however,
that the desire as we'll as the opportunity
for marriage falls off rapidly in 10th
sexes after thirty; up to that age both
seem to increase.-BroOklvn Eagle.
