Senator Edmunds.

These reflections are called to point by a
late article in the Forum, from the pen of
the Hon. George F. Edmunds of Vermont:
Senator Edmunds, known to the report
ers' gallery as "St. Jerome" from strange
resemblance his head bears to a popular
likeness of that martyr, is one of the ac-
knowledged leaders of the Republican or
ganization in the Senate. He is typical
product of the Green Mountains. Tall,
angular and austere, he moves and has his
being apparently without other impulse
than that born of the brain and controlled
by a high sense of duty Many fear and
all respect him--not that he ever did
aught to justify one or the other, but be-
cause of his appearance and manner. Cold,
keen and intolerant, he impresses his asso-
ciates as man of fine intellect and vast
stores of information, and beaming from a
conscientious bearing. All this makes his
very presence rebuke to the commonalty
about him.

THE LADIES, TAILOR.
He Discourses on High Art in Woman
Dress and Mysteries of the Wardrobe.

He Discourses on High art in Wuman's
Dress and Mysteries of the Wardrobe.
e 1t is good deal more trouble to fit a
lady than you would imagine" said a fash
ionable ladies' tailor, as he sat in his ele-
gantly furnished Office and motioned to his
servant to bring a chair for his visitor,
because, you see, ladies are very peculiar
/ have been in this business for years. and
have had dealings with every kind of lady
in this country and in Europe. How are
ladies measured? Well, first they take off
their outer waist, leaving their neck and
arms bare Then the filter measures them
from the collar to the waist in the back,
the width of the back is taken at its widest
and narrowest parts, the front from the
base of the throat to the waist, next from
the arm to the waist, and then the size of
the throat is taken. After that We take
the measurement of the bust, waist and
hips. That done, the inside length of the
sleeve is TAKEN and the circumference of
the biceps. The measure of the skirt is
next taken, up, down and around. Then
we have three fittings-first in the rough,
second with more perfect Innings and lastly
when everything is completed"
"Who does the fitting"
"Men and women. Some ladies will be
fitted by none bat men. They don't seem
to like women about them. Some don't
like the idea of wearing so few clothes and
allow men to handle them. Fitting is a
rather embarrassing thing at times, let me
tell you. Then women's vanity keeps a
great many from allowing men to fit them,
especially where the figure is not well
rounded. Most of the ladies wear skin
tight web undergarments, which show all
the outlines and yet are not immodest
Good filters practically command their
own prices. They work only during the
seasons, which are very short here, and
they make 81, 600 to $1,000 year. They
are born filters, just as men are born poets
and orators"
"How do you make up poor figure ?''
"Thats an art. For instance, lady
will come who is as thin as rail, with no
bust, no arms, no shoulders. We have to
use cotton wadding to supply her deicien-
cies. That's where good filter comes in.
A bungler would make her look lumpy,
but an artist in his line turns her out a
model. Then suppose big heshy lady
comes along. She has an immense ex.
panse of breast. OF course that must be
broken. We usually break the bodice into
four lines by a rever of the same cloth.
Your eve can only travel from one line to
the other, and before it has passed around
all of them the mind forgets to notice the
expanse A perfect plain bodice is very
trying, except to perfect figure. In that
event, of course, it only sets it off. 1t is
not often / advise plain fronts, so few can
stand them Mem York World.

NOVELTIES IN POTTERY.

Odd candlesticks are in the shape of
Corinthian pillars with dainty bases and
capital
Some handsome vases are in underglaze,
the decoration being splashed gold on an
ox-blood ground.
Sugar bowls, cream pitchers, teapots and
salad dishes with tapestry effect bases are
pleasing and durable.
An artistic umbrella stand is cylindrical
and the decoration is a clump of pink
orchids on a background harmonizing in
color
A rose jar on which are roses having
leaves with relief edges in gold is a piece
sure to grace either boudoir or drawing
room.
A handsome biscuit JAR with mazarine
blue decoration has its floral design very
prettily set off by a ground resembling the
canvas cloth much in vogue for female
apparel.
4 rose jar is decorated with two medal
lions. One represents two nymphs who Sc
curely hold captive struggling cupid, and
the other is pastoral scene equally well
executed.
Some china in the canvas" effect is
very artistic. A very dark and a turquoise
blue make pretty combination for handles,
and floral designs in colors further embel-
fish the pieces.
Some dainty ''ivory" ware vases, with
decorations in colored enamel, are very
attractive. The neck is open-work finish,
the patterns being in the conventional
Greek border design.
Decorated with fancy floral designs in
two colors and further embellished with
clinging vines in different shades of bronze,
are some excellent specimens of faience.
This ware is always popular.
On one vase is a graceful and daintily
colored lizard that peers into the vases
mouth. His body winds itself in graceful
folds about the vase A snake and
winged dragon entwined in relief is also
very artistic design.
A very pretty vase has as handles sport
ing dolphins, in hues almost equaling
those which the fish are said to possess
when expiring. The rest of the decora-
ton and the body of the vase itself are in
keeping with the graceful lines Of the fish.
A large cigar-shaped vase in underglaze
effect is decorated in 4 peculiar manner.
Roses, big brown beetles, fre-spitting
dragons and delicate leaves and flowers,
all in colors, are jumbled promiscuously
on mazarine blue ground. The effect,
however, is pleasing.
Rose jars are at present very much in
demand. One handsome design Stimulates
white leaves borne aloft on twigs of gold
The background and body color is Per-
sian red at the bottom, shading off lighter
toward the top, until the cover is an ideal
crushed strawberry"
A monster flower pot is of peculiar olive
color, shading off into lighter and darker
effects. Starting at the bottom in wicker
work design, this soon gives way to scales,
which continue to the top. On each side,
in relief, is flying dragon, and two half
human heads serve for handles.
Moorish rose jars are in the shapes made
familiar by pictures of Eastern life
Splashed gold on cobalt blue background,
and the intricate designs inseparable from
the mind Of the Moorish decorator on
backgrounds in color combinations, which
would never be risked by our decorators,
are odd yet pleasing.-Je,celers' Weekly.

ness. Rouge and other coloring sub
stances were used by women of Egypt to
enhance, as they thought, their beauty !;
the eyes had often a green line under
meath them; the lashes and eyebrows were
pencilled in black and, as in modern
Egypt, the nails were always stained red
with a preparation from the henna plant
In our museums we can see the little pots
and vases formerly filled with these ungu-
ents and cclors, and the pencils they used
with them, as well as various sorts of
combs and hairpins; of the latter there is
very pretty set in the Museum at Boulak
single pronged wooden pins, with jackal
heads, stuck into a cushion in the form of
turtle, which was evidently one of the
favorite dressing-table ornaments belong
ing to the deceased lady.
All these little essentials of the toilet
were placed in the tombs by the loving
hands of friends and relations for the use
of that spiritual body, which they believed
required all the adornments the lady had
loved upon earth.
Notwithstanding the elaborate care Law
ished by the Egyptian lady on her per-
sonal adornment, she adopted a simplicity
of dress suitable to the climate in which
she lived. Except for the wig, the head
was usually uncovered, with sometimes a
colored band tied round it. The Queens
often wore the vulture head-dress, but this
was more as an official ornament than as a
covering. In common life, also. the women,
both of high and low degree, went barefoot,
though they had sandals to wear when
they were in full dress These sandals
were made of papyrus, or palm fiber, Or of
leather; they had straps to pass around
the foot and between the toes, and in some
piece of the sole was turned up and bent
over the toes to protect them; in later
times some of the leather sandals had sides
to them, which causes them very much to
resemble modern Shoes The Womdn's

A Handy DIsinfectant.

Coffee is handy and harmless disin-
fectant. Experiments have been made in
Paris to prove this. A quantity of neat
was hung up in closed room until deeom-
posed, and then chatting dish was intro
duced and FIVE hundred grammes of coffee
thrown on the fire In few minutes the
room was completely disinfected. In an
other room suIphuretted hydrogen and
ammonia were developed, and ninety
granmes of coffee destroyed the smell in
about half a minute 1t is also stated that
coffee destroys the smell of musk, castcreum
and assafetida. As proof that the nox-
ious smells are really deeomposed by the
fumes of coffee, and not merely over
powered by them, it is stated that the first
vapors of the coffee were not smelt at al,
and are therefore chemically absorbed,
while the other smells gradually diminish
as the fl1migation continues. The best way
to effect this fumigation is to pound the
coffee in a mortar, and then strew it on
hot iron plate, which. however, must not
be red hot-HeraId Of Health

Ladies' Shoes and slippers.

Light-colored shoes are more worn this
summer than at any previous season. The
stylish choice for low ties is white linen
duck with tips and scalloped bands of very
glossy patent leather, or of the darkest red
Russian leather. These are worn with black
stockings generally, though some women of
fashion have returned to cream white Bal
briggan hosiery. The tan and ecru shoes
are popular wear, and look best with tan
colored stockings. For dressy slippers or
low shoes of bronze kid, bronze-colored
stockings are required The convenient
fashion of wearing black stockings with
black slippers, half-high shoes, or with
CATERS, still prevails, notwithstanding the
fancy for lighter shoes. For full-dress
toilettes the slippers are made Of the silk
of the gown and the stockings match the
slippers in color. Large dull silver buckles
trim stylish low shoes and slippers, while
other black kid slippers have the toes
lightly embroidered with fine steel, Jet or
gilt beads, and small bow or rosette
above this ornament is also embroidered.
Black patent leather slippers are fashion
able, also low ties but this leather makes
the foot look large, and is not pleasant to
wear, hence many ladies prefer having
merely tips or else vamps of the glossy
leather on kid shoes. The soft Suede
leather is much used for slippers and for
the uppers of low shoes, and also of but
toned CATERS, both in tan and gray shoes.
White. tan and gray CATERS are much
worn over black boots and with low shoes
to protect the instep from dust and from
contact with the edges of the dress skirt.
The toes of shoes are more nearly pointed
than they were last summer. Heels are OF
medium hight, compromise between the
uncomfortable high French heels and the
very low broad heels of English boots.

FIRST LOVE.

6Vhen first we love, you know, we seldom we'd
Time rules us all. And life, indeed, is not
The thing we planned 1t out ere hope was dead !;
And then we women cannot choose our lot.
Much must be borne which it is hard to bear,
Much given away which it were sweet to

And yet know the Shepherd loves His sheep.
Ny little boy begins 10 babble cow

But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee,

Who loved me, and whom l loved long ago.

We are all changed God judges for the best
God help us do our duty and not shrink,
And trust in Heaven humbly for the rest
But blame us women if some appear
Too cold at times and some too gay and light
Some griefs gnaw deep; some woes are hard t

And not what we are-too apt to fall?

Toilet Recipes of Ancient Egypt.

Curious hair recipes occur on some of
the papyri, some of which are very alb
surd. One to prevent the hair from tnrn-
ing gray directs that salve should be
made from the blood of a black calf cooked
in oil; in another that of black bull is
preferred for the same object; evidently the
color of the animal was to pass through
the salve into the hair. In another place
We read of the tooth of donkey dipped in
honey being used for really strengthening
tie hair; and the ingredients for an inge-
NOUS compound are given for injuring the
hair of rival, and the counter remedy to
be used by those who think their hair oil
has been tempered with by suspicious
friend. Cakes of some composition which
absorbed oil were always placed on the
heads of the guests at feasts. and from them
the oil gradually trickled down through
the hair. 4 most disagreeable practice
this may seem to US, but to them it appears
to have given great pleasure; and with
the Egyptians as well as with the He
brews, oil was symbolical of joy and glad

Old grandpa sat in his easy chair,
And called his little boy:
d Come. listen to a pretty tale,

The little lad with troubled face,
Full of deep care and pain,
Looked up in grandpas eyes and said,
g Will the Greenhoods win again.
The old man laughed with hearty glee,
And kissed the pretty child;
" What put that in your mind? said he,
In accents sweet and mild.

Origin of the Word TarIff.

At the southern point of Spain, and
running out in the Straits of Gibralter, is
promontory, which, from its position, is ad-
mirably adapted for commanding the en-
trance to the Mediterranean, and watching
the exit and entrance of all ships. A
fortress stands upon this promontory, called
now, as it was called in the Moorish de-
nomination, "Tarifa." 1t was the custom
of the Moors to watch all merchant ships
going into or coming out of the midland
sea, and, issuing from this stronghold to
levy duties according at fixed scale on all
merchandise passing in and out. And this
was called, from the place where it was
levied, tarifa; and from this comes our
word tariff.-C6weai0ners' Journal

He Knew one Good Man.

An English General, in reviewing a
corps of cavalry, suddenly stopped before
a splendid looking fellow and asked
abruptly:
(Which is the best horse in the regi-
ment? ?"
'No. 40, sir"
''What makes you think he is the best
horse ?"
"He walks, trots and gallops well; is a
good jumper; has no vice, no blemish car
ries his head well; and is in his prime"
"And who is the best soldier in the regi-
ment ?"
''Tom Jones, sir"
"Why"
Because he is an honorable man, is
obedient, is tidy, takes good care of his
equipment and his horse and does his duty
well'
"And who is the rider of the best
horse ?"
"Tom Jones, SIR"
"And who is Tom Jones ?"
81 am, sir"
The General could not help laughing,
but he gave a sovereign to his informant
who received it without moving a muscle.
