who Sets Fashions for Women.

The Gainsborough hat is again coming
into style. Some four or five years ago it
was quite fashionable, but was driven out
Of vouge by the ridicule Of the press and
sarcasm Of theatre-goers. It disappeared
from street and parquet for a time, but
has become again the rage. The other
day during brief interval Of sunshine a
lady wearing a Gainsborough nearly
three feet in diameter walked on the west
side Of State street, from Lake to Adams.
She was stared at by 10000 curious eyes,
and was the object Of 1000 remarks rang
ing from sarcasm to wonder. She did not
seem to mind it, but strolled leisurely
along with her parasol at an angle of 45
degrees, and hummed an air from the
"Mikado." She was in no hurry, but
stopped at every other shop window and
gazed therein She had not walked q
block before the universal feminine COM
ment was: "The Gainsboroughs are COM
ing in again. And SO they are if that
lady is as good an advertisement as she
has been in the past. She is under salary
from millinery firm on Wabash avenue,

"A MANS Breath Catching Ftre.

can not do better than give the facts In
the words of the patient himself, who
communicated them to me by letter. He
writes as follows:
"A rather strange thing happened to my
self about a week ago. For month or
so I was troubled very much with foul
eructations. [ had no pain, but the smell
of the gas which came from my stomach
was disagreeable to myself and to all who
happened to be in the room, About a
week ago, as [ said, 4 got upill the morn
ing and lighted match to see the time,
and when put the match near my mouth
to blow it out my breath caught fire and
gave a loud crack like the report of a pis-
tol. [ burned my lips and they are still
sore. / got a terrible surprise, and SO did
my wife, for the report awakened her."
From the above occurrence it would ap-
pear that the conditions known as 'hali-
tosis," or diseased breath, is not only a
source Of misery to the sufferer and those
compelled to associate with him, but may,
under certain circumstances, become a
condition of danger to the unfortunate
possessor of it. In the present instance
the gaseous results of the iInperfectly di-
gested food had their atoms Of carbon and
hydrogen so arranged as to give rise to the
presence Of carbureted hydrogen, the in
fammable and explosive qualities Of
which came into play when mixed with q
due proportion of atmospheric air in pres
ence Of the unguarded light Of the burn
ing match. I Imay add that the patient to
whom the accident happened is a most in
telligent and observant man, and that the
diet prescribed for the indigestion from
which he suffers from time to time has
alcohol excluded from it, and I know that
my instructions in that respect are acted
upon,-Dr, Beatson in British Medical

Pen Picture Of Senatorial u1gn,sy.


AS sit here now it is curious to watch
the actions Of some of these senator's Gull
lom, of Illinois, is playing with d string,
and Dolph, of Oregon, is tapping his
knees with his spectacles Eli Salisbury.
as tall as Jacks beanstalk, is walking
about the chamber with his hands in his
pockets, and Senator George, of Missis-
sippi, has one of the ends Of his gold spec
tacle frame in his right ear, and he is using
this as an ear pick. Henry B. Payne is
picking his teeth with his knife, and as I
look in I note that another senator, who
has been performing the same operation
upon his molars, has taken the blade out
of his teeth and is cleaning his finger nails
with it. The knife is often used as
toothpick by senator's, and a half hour
rarely passes when one or more may not
be seen touching their teeth with the cold
steel of the penknife.
Eyarts, when he laughs, looks very much
like the American eagle on broad grin.
I have noted that Senator Hoar reads a
great deal in the senate chamber, and that
the books often cover several different
languages. Joe Brown, Of Georgia, sits
very quietly, and one of his gestures is
stroking his long white beard Beck, Of
Kentucky, is always busy, and Logan now
and then seems to grow little nervous
and at such times he keeps his hands or
feet moving, and often walks out into the
cloak room. Gen. Henderson, of Ne
braska, has a way of putting his thumbs
in his vest pockets when he walks about
the senate, and Van Wyck is continuously
moving here and there, now gesturing
violently, and always ready to make a
speech when he sees the government in
danger.-"Carp" in Cleveland Leader.

Servants i'm Washington City.

OF course, in this city OF cheap house
rents, you would suppose that housekeep-
ing would be pleasant and easy matter,
as help gets only an average Of s12
month. From personal experience | can
say that nowhere in the country is it 50
difficult to get good servants az it is here.
The best help is black. There is plenty Of
it, but very little Of il is good. AL the

housekeeper who lost her cook and wash

pose and fpoke to her cook On the subject.

she did not want "a LADY, buta woman

The Toothpick and the Teeth.

The toothpick is an important instru-
1nent in taking proper care Of the teeth,
it should be brought into requisition after
each meal, and thorough use made Of it
in removing all particles of food or other
foreign substances which may be lodged
between them. The best tooa1@pick yet in
vented is quill from the wing Of q goose,
sharpened SO as to readily pass between
each tooth and its neighbor. The vigilant
and thorough use of this simple little in
strument would almost insure an average
set Of teeth from the ravages Of decay.
Too much Importance has been laid upon
tooth powders and washes; most Of them
are harmless and some beneficial PrecipI
tate chalk is the principal ingredient OF
nearly all the powders and tablets IN the
market, and is neasurably beneficial.

A Lobster and Q Dragon.

Lovers OF the curious in art will be re.
Warded by visit TO the japanese depart
ment OF one Of our business houses, where
may be seen couple Of pieces Of work
manship of the most unique character.
The ones referred to have quite a history
attached thereto. The patient care and
accurate handiWork of the Orient has no
better example than these two pieces of
iron, which have SO remarkably been
worked out into representation of a lob
ster and dragon, that are reproduced in
such perfect manner that one wonders
more and more at the talent of the Japan
ese artist who fashioned them. About
$40 years ago mechanic by the name OF
Mio-Chin made couple Of similar pieces
Of work. One of them became the prop
erty of the mikado, the other one OF the
daimios. Both of these august indiYid-
uals handed them down to his successors,
they thus passing on as heirlooms until
the then daimio Of twenty-five years ago
sold his to an American merchant now in
New York. Since these pieces were first
made many attempts have been made to
copy them but without success.
When NJ. Knsnfaro Tanaka was in
Japan three years ago he came across
very clever mechanic, and he had such
faith in his talent that he employed him
to make the p ecy.s he now has Working
steadily for three years he has made just
four pieces-two Holsters and two dragons.
The first Mr.. Tanaka sold in New York to
party there for $6O0-Who in turn sold
them to a Boston merchant and con-
noisseur for 81 500. They are. exact dupl--
Gates. Of the two now here. The peculiarity
of the work is that it was all done in a
similar manner to the Yankee process Of
whittling-the difference being that the
material operated on is iron IN the one
case and wood in the other. 1t should be
stated that they are not mere carvings
the joints are perfectly articulated, with
the result Of making the work more life
like and more wonderful. st. Paul Pic.

Railroads In Central America.

There is much in the region and approach
to Isalco to remind one of Vesuvius. 1t
is the most active volcano on the conti-
nent, and it's whole appearance, its tire
mendous power in throwing stones, scoria,
and lava to heights estimated at 200 and
even 500 feet, render it the most interest
ing mountain of Central America, if not
the western world.
The railroad mounts up steep grades at
q distance from the volcano Of only five
miles, and bends about it until it reaches
the village of Armenia. This town is a
region where coffee comes to great per-
fection. A few miles further will carry
the road to the capital of San Salvador,
and another projected branch bends around
the volcano to Santana, a city in the coffee
region.
All Central American railroads are mar
row gauge, and generally have Americans
back of them, though some English capi-
tai has been invested in them. They are
generally well built, excellent masonry
and iron bridges being the rule. Many Of
the ties are made Of lignum vitae and an
other kind of wood equally hard, and to
'fasten the rails to them holes are bored
for the spikes

most eccentric man Of his nation. His
wealth enabled him to indulge mania
for the strangest kind Of bric-a-b -brac-
broken swords knouts of all sizes and
ages, stuffed Cossacks, skulls, bottled
1nonstrosities and reptiles. His lnu-
scum OF living curiosities was equally
unique. He kept bears, and wild-boars
and had stable full Of unmanageable
horses, some of them so vicious that they
had TO be fed by stratagen; and Demi-
doW's favorite anecdote was the adVen-
