Chicago is panorama of civilization.
In its mongrel population almost every
tribe and tongue is represented. The
children of Asia, Africa, Europe, and
America elbow and jostle each other
on the streets and sidewalks. Often,
in wandering along and listening to
the iargon of this vast army of for
eigners, L find myself, in imagination,
in the lands where art, science, and
civilization had their birth. This in
fiux of the poor but enterprising of
the old world is teaching us new ideas
of self-denial and economy. In the
midst of squalid poverty that would
drive an American to commit suicide,
or worse, become tramp, they persist
in their endeavors, and fire. luently over
come their surroundings. Many of
them follow lines of business in which

Toilet Articles in silver.

rhe proper caper in toilet articles is
silver Just now. My lady's pincushion
is the latest novelty going. IT is made
of silver, or set in silver at least, and
it has prominent place in the bou-
dor. 1t deserves it, too. 1t is very
hish-toncd p.ucushion, indeed. Its
frame is round, oval, or of any shape
you please. wrought in silver, with en-
ameled or repoussc or etched designs.
Sometimes it is set with rough pearls.
Sometimes it is of antique silver or sill
yer with raised work in gold. 1t has
an upholstered satin top, and it opens
like box, acting, in fact, in the double
capacity of pincush on and jewel case.
1t pretty toy, aad women of fashion
find it n great comfort to their hearts.
1t costs from Sl2 to 80. All combs,
brushes, and hand-mirrors are set in
silver now. All ones manicure sets
and cologne bottles and toilet make
ups and mysteries of all descriptions
go in silver cases Woe is me for plush.
1t is gone, and silver, especially silver
end pearls, has the call to-day.

Another Lincoln Aneciote.

Seymour Curtis is one Of the charac.
tiers of Stratford. He went to the war
as fifer, and since has been what may
be called an ardent, working Repub-
lican. He comes to Bridgeport nearly
every day, and on his last visit told the
following anecdote, never before
printed:
During the presidential campaign of
1886, when John c. Fremont was the
Republican nominee, Mr.. Curtis, in
company with James Booth, came to
this city to hear Lincoln speak. As
Lincoln stepped upon the platform to
begin his speech, Booth said to Curtis :
"W hat homely mani He's the home.
Hest man l ever saw" But rs Lincoln
talked and waxed eloquent, Booth
brought his clenched fist down on Cur
it's knee land tho latter said he hit
hard, and said: Seymour Curtis,
he is not so bad loohing, after all He
grows hands mer all the time" st
last, with sledgehammer blow OF his
fist on Curtis knee, Booth exclaimed /.

In his g. emoirs, Mr.. Firth has un.
fortunately failed to include an anec-

man-servant, advertised, and was in
undated with applicants. He selected
a pleasant-faced person, telling him if
his testimonials suited he was to con-

n %ely the buffers late master wrote
that the man was everything that was
undesirable, and on this Mr.. Firth sig
nified his intention not to engage him.
The following day letter addressed to
the artist arrived by post, containing
these words: Il think you have refused
to take me into your service, not so
much on account of my character as
because you could not afford my wages

fitting sealskin sacques, with sleeves
reaching to the wrist, are perfect gar

sealskin, despite its expensiveness. has
become rather common, for the reason
that many woman will deprive her
self of many other Injuries for the sake
of wearing it. Besides. it has plebean
sort of durability, which is no merit in
the eyes of the extravagantly fastidi-
Gus. AS much or more money can be
put into such a wrap as either of these

would be required for sealskin of

these eXquisitely artistic cloaks are too
susceptible of injury by exposure in bad
weather, ard so pronounced in style,
that the wealthy owners like to dis

The open, dropping sleeves, or wings,
of such wraps do not keep out the cold
very well, although they arc so pictur-
esque and so suggestive of warmth.

Objectionable away north. What are

Ignorant masculine eyes will see
nothing in particular about the piece
of millinery here shown, but feminine
sight will at once discover that it is
novel, for it is about half way between
a hat and bonnet. 1t has the shape
of the former and the strings of the
latter. Therefore it is a nondescript
and very useful, because q woman can
wear it on occasions when she is in
doubt whether n hat or n bonnet is
most appropriate. The crown is round

that of birds taken from tropical lands.
So the birds in high ATTITUDES should

Rings oven low through my heart,
And whenever | think OF my childhood,
That song OF my youth is part.
A face that saw in lifes morning
Stands out from the past alone,
And never look back to life's morning
But that woll-loved face meets my own.
A flower that pluckod in lifes noontide
Has faded this many year.
But yet can look back to lifes noontide,
If smileless. with never tear.

My flower, that fnce and that song.

popular comedian is distantly related
to Robert Emmett, the Irish patriot, Dut
such is the case. Mr. Emmett is with
