Gently introduced.

-Four Items About Stylish Garments Re-
Gently Introduced.
Long English ulsters are exhibited
made of finely-checked cheviot, fancy
bourrette, summer tweed, mohair or
camel s-hair goods, which are designed
to wholly cover stylish and expensive
travelling costume, protecting it from
dust and travel marks, and enabling the
wearer TO appear at table in fresh
looking and dressy costume. These
ulsters are cut to fit the form just easily,
and in the back are number of two
inch plaits which are stitched down
three inches below the waist line, where
they fall loosely, giving the necessary
fullness over the tournure. The fronts
are single-breasted, and button all the
way down. Handsome silk cord passe-
the most expensive kinds, and nearly all
have an adjustable hood added, silk
lined and pressed to lie very flat.
Some very chic and beautiful toilets
for watering-place wear are shown,
made Of the new stripes in canvas and
velvet, with artistically fitted and draped
French polonaise above made of finest
canvas goods as delicate as yelling,
these fabrics figured with dots in silk
embroidery matching the leading color
in the striped material. Some of these
novel patterns have the dots or
other figures on a large scale, but they
are not as attractive to refined tastes as
the smaller designs, though often chosen
bv those who like them for fete and
house dresses.
A handsome gown worn recently at q
wedding out of town was made of am
ber and crimson changeable silk, the
trimmings of dark laurel green velvet.
Panels of the velvet showed between
the box pleatings on the skirt. The
ample waistcoat of velvet reached some
inches below the hips, land was trimmed
with a very rich passementerie of ruby
and amber beads, with small oval
buttons to match. The bodice above, Of
the shot silk. was simply piped on the
edges with velvet, and the sleeves were
slashed just below the elbow over a
puff of the velvet. Roses with dark green
foliage, formed the floral adornings.
The new and fanciful summer wraps
for dressy wear are very graceful, very
small and essentially Partisan. The
shapes are almost indescribable. Some
of the visites have velvet grenadine
backs and wide broche net sleeves, and
there are lace wraps with velvet fronts
strapped across and held with gold
buckles set with Rhine-stones. Short
rounding dolman shapes are loose in
the back, with trim jacket-fronts belted
from the sides only, or held at the waist
with ribbon ties. Three different fab
RIGS are often used upon these diminu-
tive wraps, which are in most cases Of
the richest description.-M. T. Evening

LIGHT AND BLINDNESS.

Interesting Account of tho Visual Sensa-
tions Experienced by Blind Man.
An interesting account has lately been
furnished by NJ. Plateau, the eminent
Belgian physicist (who has been blind
nearly forty years., of the sensations
he experienced in his eyes. He has no
sense of objective light even when turn
ing his eyes to the sun. But his visual
field is always divided into spaces, some
of which are pretty bright and others
sombre or nearly dark, and which
merge into each other. Their general
tint alternates, in time, between gray
and reddish. The relative arrangement
of those different spaces is always the
same, but the intensity of their tints
varies. The central space seems now
rather bright, now very dark; above
and below, and on the left to the limits
of the field, there is sometimes bright
ness, sometimes darkness, but on tho
right there is generally vertical band,
nearly black, and beyond this space
which is nearly always bright and red
dish. These appearances follow all the
movements of the eyes, which probably
do not participate in the same way in
the tints, but M. Plateau can not dis
tinguish what belongs to one from what
belongs to the other. No connection OF
the general tint with the work of diges-
ton is observed. The author states
that he became blind through looking
fixedly at the sun for some time,
with view to observing his after sensa-
tions; it was not till about fourteen
years after this that inflammation of
the chloroid set in, destroying vision,
but. during the interval, he often saw
colored and persistent halos round
flames. etc., and he advises those who
have such vision to consult an expert
enced oculist. Chicago Interior.

E1r Horse-Flesh in England.

Hippohagy is now seldom heard OF.
A few years ago it was strongly advo-
Gated in many quarters; but the British
public, although ready to swallow al
most any thing in the way of food put
before it, never took kindly to horse-
flesh, and turned deaf ear to the per-
suasions of those who recommended
the adoption of this kind of diet. 1t is
probable, however, that horse-flesh is
often eaten unawares, and that its con-
sumption is far more common than is
generally imagined. Butchers whose
consciences are not tender occasionally,
il is feared, sell horse-flesh as ordinary
meat TO unsuspecting customers. An
attempt is about to be made to put mat
ters in this respect on more satisfacto-
ry footing. At meeting held for the
purpose of eliciting an expression of
opinion from the butchers of Manches-
ter and Stafford with regard to the sale
of horse-fesh as human food, it was de-
cided to appoint II committee for the
purpose of getting an act of Parliament
passed to compel butchers who sell
horse-fesh to label it as such.-St.

A WONDERFUL GAVE.
Extraordinary Discovery Made In tho Big
Horn Mountains.

morn MOUNTAINS.
A party of Indian hunters report tho
discovery, in tho Big Horn mountains,
of a cave extraordinary in character
and contents. Long ago tho mouth OF
this cave was ingcniously closed by a
huge bowldor, working upon pivot.
This pivot had been broken by some
oonvulsion of nature mayhap, and the
bowlder falling outward had left tho
entrance exposed. Attracted by this
opening, band of Indian hunters, a
few weeks ago, penetrated the passage,
and singular sight met their aston
ished gaze.
In the center of large irrogularly
shaped apartment rose to the height
of four feet q stone pillar, square in
shape. This supported q broad stone
scat, perfectly cut and of lustrous pol
ish. On this seat reposed the skeleton
of what had once been powerful
human figure. Tho bones were still
envclopcd in the fragments of curious
funeral panoply. This was a heavy
material of closely woven texture, and
had been richly wrought with bead
work. This material was vell-nigh in
destructiblc, and fragments that had
witnessed the flight of ages were still
firm and close in texture.
On the seat were curious weapons of
the chase, fashioned from stone, little
pyramids of dust that looked like tho
remains of household pottery, and
small idol of human form, on whose
forehead was traced rude representa-
ton of the rising sun. In inches cut
in the walls of the cave were stored
number of stone implements, evidently
designed for agricultural use. There
was an axe-hoad from which the handle
had long since moldered away; COM
pound between n modern hoe and rake,
a heavy, sickle-shaped blade. and n
singular instrument, triangular in form,
with a square hole drilled in it, for
which no use could ever be imagined.
Tho feet of the skeleton were turned
toward the rising sun, as was the face
of the image. In the long-forgotten
past of this region is it possible there
existed race of sun worshipersP-

USES OF CORK.
Where and How This Important Articl,
of Commerce Is Obtained.

of Commerce Is obtained.
Cork is the bark, not the wood, of
the cork-oak. The bark comes from
Spain and Portugal, where they keep
cork woods. 1t doesn't kill the tree to
take its bark away, and it can be
skinned every six or eight years.
About 81 100000 worth of the raw
bark is brought to this country every
year. The cork has to be steamed be-
fore it is cut. Corks are made in
thousands of sizes and grades, from
the size of pin-head up to four metres
in diameter. No fewer than six hun
dred sizes and grades are kept in stock.
None of the bark that comes over in
the ships goes to waste. The cork
makers used to burn the refuse, but
now they know better. In granu-
lated state it is used as roof-Eacking.
The heat can't get through the cork
protector. The palace car-builders
use the same stuff to pack under the
floors of their cars to deaden the sound
and under the roof to keep the heat
out. The finest of The refuse is used
by picture-frame maksrs in decor
ations. They sprinkle it on their
bronzed or japanned frames; and
large models, in the shape of pictures,
are made from it when pressed like
papier machc. Fruit and egg cases,
ice-houses and ice-machines, are often
packed with the granulated cork,
which costs only two cents pound

pillow, he closed his eyes and said no
more. The third day Tommy's funeral
took place at the little church in the VIII

with much feeling, alluded to the 50 d
misfortunes attending tho life of the
deceased, but said that all these were
overshadowed and forgotten in the one

A SHARP-EYED BOY.


HOW nc bHiu UP snug sum ioWhru 20
ing to College.
A poor lad living near Philadelphia
was invited couple of years ago by a
wealthy friend in town to dine with
him. Among the dishes new to him on
the table, he notice that one he particu-
larly relished was sat down on the menu
rs "Filet de bout aux campignons." A
sharp scrutiny showed him that the
"champignons" were only mushrooms,
such MS he had gathered on the sheep
walks. These. however, rs his friend
explained to him, were of fine quality,
and had been cultivated and canned in
France. They sold at retail, his friend
explained to him, readily at sixty cents
can. Strolling through the market
the next day, the boy saw one or two
quart baskets of native mush-
rooms marked at that price.
ais there much demand for these
things?" he asked. ave do not think
much of them in the country"
"They are considered rare deli
cacy," said the man. "but only epicures
can afford to buy them"
The lad passed on with now thought
in his brain. Why could he not grow
mushroomsP He was poor, to be sure,
and had little time to spare from his
regular work and had no land. Here
was crop which he had been told
could be raised in cellar, one for
which there was already demand
which could easily be increased, and no
supply.
He went home, and during the next
few weeks read every book he could
find on mushrooms, laid out beds in a
back cellar, manufactured his spawn
with few old mushrooms and the ma
nure heap, and last fall filed the mar
ket with his boxes of tiny silver buttons,
blushing delicate pink. They were of
precisely the same quality as the French
canned champignons, only they were
dewy, fresh, and sold at twenty cents.
Epicures eagerly filed their baskets,
and others who never had tasted them
in the prevailing high prices of all
kinds of food, tried the new cheap veg
etables and came again and again. The
crop fairly took the market, and the
boy has already laid up n snug sum to-
ward going to college.-BoSton Budget.
