PrOIOnging His Life.

A Boston merchant who lived and died
on Summer street was a curious instance
of one who was an invalid from child
hood, always extremely hypochondriacal,
who never imagined himself i'll when he
was not, nor exaggerated his actual i'll
ness, nor feared, unduly, sickness or
pain, or death itself. But it was the
business of his life to take care of his
health, and he devoted himself to this
work with a wonderful asslduity. He
rode just so far each day, when the
weather was fair, and at such an hour.
He had a great variety OF clothing,
which he regulated with precision by the
thermometer, sometimes changing his
dress many times day and selected for
his overclothes when he rode out the
very garments which the mercury indi-
Gated.
He had a weatbercock put upon his
stable within fair view from his bedroom
AMI sitting -room. and that and his Their
mometer, and all possible or impossible
signs OF the weather, he was watching
constantly, and found in these occupa-
tons very agreeable way of employing
all his days. How far his long life is to
be attributed to this excessive care it is
impossible to tell, but he outliyed every
brother and sister, every brothers wife,
every sisters husband, and his own wife,
and died in 1887 at the age OF eighty-one.

ADress that Cost u Fortune.

In q recent conversation with a re-
porter Worth, the great dress-maker OF
Paris, said "Those ladies are wisest
who leave the choice entirely TO us. BY
SO doing they are always better pleased
in the end and the reputation of the
house is sustained. Curiouslv enough
the persons who realize this fact most
clearly are precisely those whom you
might fancy the most difficult to please.
For example, telegram comes from the
Empress of Russia Send me dinner
dress. Nothing more. We are left alb
solute freedom as to style and material.
Not that the Empress is indifferent in the
matter of dress. Quite the contrary.
She viii sometimes require that all the
ladies' costumes at a certain ball be pink
or red or blue. And her own toilets are
always masterpieces Of elegance. The
point is that she trusts our Judgment
rather than her own. In the same way,
during the last few days, We have received
over twenty kilograms from Madrid for
ball dresses, and we shall make them up
as we think best.
(" How long does it take TO fill these
Geographic orders ?"
"Why, we generally want week, but
il necessary we can finish costume IN
twenty.fou hours. We have had French
ladies order dress in the morning and
dance in it at night. / remember once
making gown for the Empress Eugene
in three hours and half. OF course
such rapidity would be impossible if
elaborate work was required. II often
takes weeks to complete an embroidered
gown. At the time of the coronation OF
the present Emperor of Russia we had
girls working night and day for six weeks
on a court train for the Empress, which
was covered With magnificent embroide-
ry in real silver. The train alone cost
%, 0OOf, and will be preserved IN tho
State Museum as historical curiosity.
"You nsk me if fabulous sums are
sometimes paid for dresses. IL is quite
impossible TO make any estimate as to
that. If you begin putting on gold
thread, jewels, &c, OF course there is no
limit to the cost Some years ago a Pc
rnyian heiress paid US 100000 for a
single gown, lle,000f. being the cost OF
the laces alone. A few weeks ago we
sold cloak for i5, 000f., OF which "A, OOOf.

ooh. yes we count among our pa.
irons the ladies of all the courts IN the
civilized world-that is. all with single
exception. Queen Victoria has never
honored us with her patronage.
