A HANDY BOOK.
A Chinese Book OF Reference Consisting oi
22,O31 Volumes.

About tho year A. D. 6l8 the Tang
dynasty was established, and the land
had rest from its long internal wars.
Under the peaceful sway Of this inn
rerial house a library Of 10000 books
was collected, and rightly to appreciate
this statement it is necessary 10 remem.
Dor Giat though tho art Of making paper
from the inner bark Of trees, fishing
nets and old rags had been discovered
by the Marquis Ts'ai about a hundred
years before the Christian era, that of
printing was not known, orNt least not
generally adopted, till about the year
A. d. 1000, under the patronage Of
the Emperors of the Sung dynasty.
From that timc to the present each sue
cessive dynasty has done its part to en-
courage litGrature-nOnc more heartily
than the Tartar race who now reign.
Tho Emperor Yunglo. of tho Ming
dynasty, who assembled tho throne A. ID.
1903, resolved TO have Il vast encyclope-
din compiled which would embrace all
desirable knowledge. For this purpose
he appointed no less than 1000 Com
missoners, who, after toiling for years,
presented tho Emperor with nice
handy book Of reference in 22,9l7 vol
umcs. However valuable this book
might have proved, 1t was decided that
II was rather too voluminous for the
prnters, 80 the fruit Of so
much toll was stored in manu-
script in the Imperial Palace at
Pekin. where its remains are still treas
ured. The idea thus suggested was car
ricd out three hundred years later by the
Manchoo Emperor, K'ang-hi, who com
missioncd the wise mon Of the Empire
to Illustrate upward OF six thousand sub
jects, by collecting all illusions TO them
which might be scattered among exist
ing books. This encyclopedia of eX-
tracts was published in A. d. 1926, and
consists OF upward OF five thousand vol
umes containing the cream of Chinese
literature. A complete copy Of this very
comprehensive and valuable WORK
has recently been secured for the
British Museum, whose own amaz-
ing catalogue scarcely cclipses that
of the Imperial Library pub
lishe.l at the close Of the eighteenth CEN
tury, and enumcrating upward Of 49,
600 volumes on all branches.of literature
without including works OF fiction, dra-
mas, or any books relating TO tho Taou'
ist or Buddhist religions. Il is, however,
necessary to add that the majority Of
these books are little more than mere
commentaries, by intellectual pigmies Of
modern days, on the writings of men
possessed Of q far wider range Of thought
and frcer imagination than these their
crampcd dcscendants.-C y. Gordon

House and Promenade Dresses.
Plain and figured velvet and plushcs,
damasks Of old patterns, watercd PelSin
satin or ottoman, fur and wooden lace,
but above all gimps and braids of differ.
ent sizes are employed for trimmings
these are the ornamentatlons that We
never tire Of, and which, like beads, are
always reappearing in one shape or 9TH
er. At present the latter are used per-
iectly assorted to the shade Of the tissue
thcy are to decorate, and bead embroid.
cries are executed in two or three
shades Of glass with mixture Of metal
beads, especially on toilets for the
evening. Beaded yokes and smocks are
also very much admired now, and have
brilliant effect on dark dresses when
worn by gas or wax light. Embroidery,
beautiful passemcntcries, composed Of
agralTes, appliques, pendants, etc, will
take the first place as trimmings on clio.
giant visites for making carriage calls.
Aslrakan has again come up, but all
costly furs are used in pretty broad
bands for trimming wooden costumes OF
every kind. The finest qualities are also
taken to ornament mautles, paletotS,
and other elegant outdoor wraps. We
must not omit to mention feather trim,
mings Of such varied styles, sewn in
loops on broad or narrow stripes Of stiff
material, which will take the place OF
heavy furs in those happy climates
whore the rigors Of winter are unknown,
the feathers employed being those Of the
ostrich, vulture, swan, and so on,
dyed to suit every shade Of tho FASH
ionable new tissues.
Muffs are perfectly charming now, az
they are composed Of all and every kind
of stuff; for the evening and promen'
ade they are assorted to the robe
or couture, and are so small as
scarcely to cover both hands. The
most elegant muffs should correspond
with the toilet. Muffs for the evening
are only pretexts for showing how
charmingly and artistically such tiny af.
fairs may be arranged Of fouillis ol
silk, lace and bows, surmounted by q
large bouquet of real flowers, tied with
bow Of ribbon and fastened on with q
jcwcl-clasp or brooch.
Plain linen collars and cuffs are much
worn with simply made winter costumes
and tho styles are so pretty and becom,
ing that they can not fail to please
Beside the entirely white lingerie are
somc striped collars aud cuffs made
either of fine linen or cambric,
painted with various fancy patterns
or devices, such as clubs, cones
horscshoes. anchors, etc.; these are o.
two colors answering the toilet; Others
h9ve stripes, or pretty largs spots il
red, blue and brown. White embroid
cred collars, which are so becoming
are also coming into fashion again, and
we hope will long remain favorites wi.ll
old and young.-Ihe Season.
