How Fashion Plates are Made.


Did it ever occur to you when looking
at fashion plate of mems deass, asks an
exchange, who it is that establishes these
fashions2 Each year we are obliged to
wear larger or smaller trousers, shorter or
longer frock coats, close-ftting OF loosely
flowing overcoats, wide or narrow col
lars; in short, there are more or less moaf--
fcations which, if we wish to be in fash
ion, oblige US to consult the tailor. a
French paper has just revealed to the
world how all these changes in mems
dress are made law, and why it is that all
the tailors are agreed upon the new
styles. In Paris all the leading tailors
belong to a society which has for its OBJ
ject the relief of its members who are i'll
or unfortunate. This society has mem
bers not only in Faance, but in all the
capitals Of the world where the European
styles of dress is worn. It,
resources come from the sale
Of its fashion plates to its members.
Here is how this plate is made: Each
year the society names committee Of
eleven members, which prepares provis-
ional sketches. When the president Of
the committee has collected dozen de-
signs representing the different parts Of
the masculine dress, he submits the re-
suit Of his researches to his colleagues.
They discuss the proposed models, and
suggest changes, if need be. These
changes are Immediately made BY de-
signer who is present at the discussion,
and then the modified models are put to
vote, adopted, and the engraving is made
and sent out over the world. The Paris
tailors enter into competition with the
English tailors, for there are many
Frenchmen who think it is the correct
thing to be dressed rAnglaise, For a
long time the English cloths, by the
originality Of the designs, superiority Of
make and cheapness, have done much
harm to French fabrics, but latterIy the
manufacturers have been making strong
efforts to oust their competors from tho
market, and have in part succeeded.

Much interest has been excited in rail
way circles at the West during the past
winter by the performances of the new
Leslie rotary steam snow shovel, on the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
company's lines. The head Of this ma
chine is provided with angular cutting
blades, which rotate with enormous
velocity and cut and loosen the snow,
which then passes behind the blades,
where it is received on the fat spokes Of
another wheel, turning in contrary
direction, and is thereby thrown out side
wise from the machine with tremendous
power. The snow is delivered in the
form of a great stream, forming an arch
through the air, and strikes the ground
at distance Of from one to two hundred
feet from thetrack. The machine, when
in operation, is said to be a wonderful
sight to behold 1t is mounted on a
special car, which also carries an engine
for driving the mechanism. During the
heavy snow storms, when tracks were
bIockaded with from three to ten feet Of
snow, packed SO hard that the ordinary
slow plows would make no impression
on it, and could not have been cleared
except by hand shoveling, involving
several days delay, this machine went
through some Of the worst drifts at the
rate of mile an hour, and through the
lesser drifts at much faster speed.

AFanous Mare

A Goshen On. " correspondent
writes: In the death of the mare known
as the eBig.Kneed Mare" her owner
loses one Of the most unprepossessing
pieces Of horsehesh that ever lived, but
one that raised him from penury to the
enjoyment Of competence. She was
the property Of Rev. Mr.. Scutt, Of Ridge
bury. In 1872 he was pastor of the
Methodist church of that place. He was
a great lover and excellent Judge Of
horses, but was too poor to indulge his
hkings in that line. He owned a black
mare which, beside general uncouth
appearance, was disfgured by knee
which was swollen to three times its
natural size. Dominic Scutt could not
be shaken in his opinion and belief that
the ungainly mare came from the best
kind Of stock. He went SO far as to
claim her as lineal descendant of the
Mulbee horse, out of dam sired by
Abdallah. 1t was his ambition to have a
colt out Of her by some good horse. He
bred her in 1873 to J. H. Woods cele-
bratcd horse Knickerbocker, but about
the time the colt was foaled the dominic
was prostrated by paralysis, and he was
unable to pay Wood for the service of his
horse. Wood Cancelled the debt and
gave Scutt 800 for the colt. He sold the
colt to Georgian for big price, as a
one -year-old, and it turned out fast
one. Its traits and points went far to
prove the correctness Of the pedigree
Scutt claimed for his big -kneed mare.
Since then the mare has been bred six
times to Knickerbocker. The second colt
has yielded Scutt about SO, 900 in two
years in the stud. The third colt he
traded for farm near Binghamton, part
OF which he has since sold for So, 500,
and the remainder he refused $12, 900 for.
He owns the third, fourth, and fifth cots.
He values them at $1,000 EACH The
sixth is one year old, and promises to be
a valuable animal The big-kneed mare
was twenty-one years old.

After the battle Of Stone River union
soldier took from the body Of Confed-
crate officer q fine, large, silver hunting
cased watch bearing the inscription:
ssTo M. S. Smith, Company G, 4th
Mississippi infantry, 9. s. A.
The watch passed through two or three
hands, and was finally traded to mem
Der Of a Michigan regiment for a pint Of
whisky. He brought it home with him,
and two or three years ago was killed at
one Of the railroad crossings. He was
the debtor Of P. A. Ball, at No 1908
Grand River avenue, to considerable
amount, and the watch came in the lat
ter gcntleman's possession at a certain
valuation. He is still possessed Of it,
but, thinking the relic might have great
value in the eyes Of the dead mans
friends, heis willing to surrender it to
them when properly identified. M. s.
Smith was doubtless the FIRST captain of
the company, and the watch was pre-
scnted him either BY his townspeople or
the company Detroit Free Press.

little man, with iron-bowed spectacles,
squatted cross-legged on the end Of the
table sewing at coat. An old, blind
dog before handful Of fire on brick
hearth growled at me, but did not get
up, and a big yellow cat stared at me
from chair. The boy greeted me
politely in good, intelligent, boyish
English. He worked in a printing

proof reader. he was good, dutiful
boy, said the father in German, but he
studied too hard. If his poor mother,
that was in heaven, had lived and the
little man put his hand TO his eyes, and
said good night and shut the door. 1t

one rOom-it was mattress and furni-

Frenchmen and as many women were
getting ready to go to a fancy ball in
muslin clowns suits and tawdry Spanish
skirts. In another, up under the root, a
light was burning, but got no answer
to my summons. I looked in. In
corner was a mattress on the floor, and
in the middle Of the room a coffin on two
chairs. There was not another stick Of
furniture. Two candles in pewter candle
sticks were glittering and faring on the
coffin, and the wind that went by out
side had an accent of mourning.
As | slid and stumbled back to the al
leyway by the light Of the couple Of gas
lamps that fluttered behind their shat
tered glasses on the tenement walls, the
sonorous echo Of quick, heavy steps
rolled out Of that frigid tunnel. A big
man, with big stick in his fist, came
out and crossed the court. In second
more he was banging at the door behind
which had heard the hebreathing. "Open
the doorr' he called, with savage oath.
'I told you I'd come back. Open the

crash and heavy fall, and the air was
rent by woman's shrieks. The tene-

in the black windows, feet rustled and
voices babbIed, while curses and shrieks
rose over all Meanwhile the music kept
up in the flats, and carriages were leav-

By the new process of toughening tim
Der, it is claimed that the effect produced
upon whitewood is such that cold
chisel is required in order to split it.
This result is accomplished by special
method of steaming the timber and sub
mitting it to end pressure, technically
''upsetting it." By this means the cells
and fibres are compressed into one COM
pact mass; and it is the opinion OF
those who have experimental with the
process that wood can be compressed to
the extent of rs per cent, and that some
of the timber now considered unfit for
use in such work as carriage. building,
for instrnce, can be made valuable by
this means as substitute for ash,
hickory, etc.

SEALED ORDERS.

Out she swung from her moorings,
And over the harbor bar,
As the moon was slowly rising,
She faded from sight afar-
And we traced her cleaning canvas
By the twinkling evening star.
None knew the port she sailed for,
Nor whittier her cruise would be:
Her future course was shroudea
In silence and mystery;
She was sailing beneath 'ssealed orders'-
To be opened out at sea-
Some souls, cut off from mooring,
Go drifting into the night,
Darkness before and around them,
With scarce glirnmer of light;
They are acting beneath s'sealed orders
And SAILING by faith, not sight.
Keepingthe line Of duty,
Through evil and good report,
They shall ride the storm out safely,
Be the voyage long or short,
For the ship that carries Gods orders
Shall anchor at last in port.

The Hon. Hamilton Fish, member of
the Grant memorial committee of New
York city, thinks that million of dollars
is too large a sum to raise, and that the
hundred and odd thousand dollars al
ready obtained will suffice to erect
suitable monument. Senator Hoar's bill
for anational monument to General Grant
at Washington appropriates only $780,,
900. s1t seems to me- he said in his
speech to the Senate, *that we must take
the thing as settled by the general judg-
ment of mankind that civilized nations
are wanting in due and decent honor for
their great benefactors, unless by monu-
ment or statuary, or in some other public
way they put up in their public places the
tokens of their regard

In New Mexico, where sheep are kept
away from habitations, it is always the
custom to have many goats with the ewes
and billy-goats with the rams. They are
fine guides, protect the herd against
dogs and coyotes, and give the herders a
little milk for their coffee. But around
towns or fields, especially in the neigh
borhood of orchards or planted fields, the
goats are a nuisance. They not only
jump fences themselves, but also teach
the sheep to do likewise.
