Where Fashions Are Born.

When he has the mood for composing upon
him, Worth is tireless and sometimes ex-
hausts three possesses before he has satisfied
himself. The girl will drop with fatigue and
is rapidly replaced by fresh one, so that the
work Of composition may go on. After ex-
planning all this Worth told his American
customer that it was in this studio of his that
the fashions really had their birth. II never
force anything on the public" he said, "but
| educate them When | make up my mind
to introduce certain fashion | give myself
three years time to make it the rage For
example, for the last two years | have been
introducing the fashions of the Pompadour,
rococco styles Look in the shop windows
and see what the manufacturers are weaving
and the tradesmen selling-are they not for
the greater part Pompadour designsl Well,
in one year more they will be the rage, and
it will last for another twelve months or so,
and then shall slowly but certainly begin
something new" While this conversation
was going on there was an ante room to the
kitchen full of men who waited upon the
couterier to learn his views upon designs for
fabrics, new dyes and shades, braids, gal
looms, tournure steels, bustles, everything
that is needed to make a costume, and his
decisions were in most cases held to be final

Superstition of Sporting Men.

A superstition among sporting men-there
are still few of that ilk in Chicago, though
the ranks have been greatly decimated under
the vigorous anti-gambling crusade of the
authorities-is that it brings bad luck to ride
in a street car alone. A conductor tells a
story that gambler took passage on his car
and happened to be the sole passenger. He
was in great hurry to get down town, but
hesitated as he looked at the vacant interior
of the car. Finally happy idea seemed to
strike him and his face frightened Fishing
dime from his pocket, he handed it to the
conductor. Here, he said, take two out
of that" The conductor looked at him Won
deringly. That's all right" he said; 'it's
you who are riding with me. l can't play
lone hand for | wouldn't have any luck for
a week." Then he explained his superstition,
and was happy when the conductor rang ur
for two fares.-Chicago Tribune.

An Exhibition of Vanity.

The most glaring exhibition of human van
ity that ever saw was young man as he
stood admiring the reflection of his we'll
dressed figure in the glass of hearse. The
hearse stood in front of an undertaking estab-
tishment, and, being heavily draped on the
inside, it made first rate mirror. There he
stood for several minutes adjusting his neck
tie and turning his head in an admiring way
from side to side as unconcerned as if he had
been standing in front of pier glass instead
of carriage for the dead. And this wasn't
all. There was casket in the hearse, and
his face was really refected'in one side of it.

Holding to Old Usages.

1t seems somewhat strange that the usuages
of semi-barbarous people, as the English
people were when the common law was
evolved, are all abandoned except those that
pertain to the administration of justice An
English paper, in calling attention to the
circumstance that judges in that country
still wear wigs in trying cases, says that it
furnishes evidence that there is less progress
in law than in any pursuit to which men Of
intelligence and learning devote themselves
A hundred years ago the members of all pro-
LESSONS wore wigs, but they are never seen
now outside a court room. Our judges do
not wear wigs, but they hold fast to practices
that have long been abandoned in Great
Britain. Trials here are much longer than
there, and many more appeals to higher
courts are taken. English courts, it is said,
are now not only self-sustaining, but sources
of revenue, while the maintenance of our
courts imposes heavy burden on the people.

A WOMAN's REASON.

You said to me, why don't you do it?"
only could answer, because"
You laughed at the feminine reason,
And prated of logical laws;
laugh at your trumpery science
What good are you going to do
With logical chain that is fau!tless,
And nothing to fasten it to?
You have TO take something for granted.
Just like any woman or Ounce;
Your argument needs a foundation,
So build it firmly at once
A fable says earth is supported
By turtle that rests on a COW;
The COW is sustained by a something,
But never fable says how;
And that is the way with your reasons
Thus far and no further you go;
There's something you never can fathom,
Some basis you never can know.
If you and your logic were missing.
The world would not totter or pause;
Accept, then, what is df you like it)
And give as your reason Because"

An Important Innovation.

Several newly organized manufacturing
companies are now working upon sulphite
fiber, made from refuse of sawmills and used
for paper stock. There is one company in
Watertown, N. Y, one in Chicago and one
in Detroit. The Detroit factory produces
from ten to twelve tons of fiber day. It is
the most important innovation in the manu-
facture of paper stock since wood pulp was
introduced. Chicago Times.

Demand for Trine.

The much abused but easily digested tripe
has at last received proper recognition from
quite an unexpected quarter. DR.. Beaumont
proved that raw oysters digested in two
hours and fifty-fve minutes and boiled tripe
digested in one hour. Acting on this in
formation, epicures with weak digestive
organs have taken kindly to tripe, and the
demand for it at the leading restaurants is
on the increase-New York Sun.

English Money for Cleveland.

The Democrats have frequently denied
that the Golden Club or any English Free
Traders We're contributing money to help
the party of Free Trade in this country.
We invite their attention to the following
from recent number of the London Iron
Era:
"The Golden Club is trying to raise a
large sum of money to be spent in further
ing the Free Trade propaganda in the
United States. Lord Brassey has given
$1,000, others less, and the hat is going
round"
So my Lord Brassey starts the hat NOV
ing by a contribution OF s., 900 to help elect
his friend Grover Cleveland 1t is imma-
terial who Lord Brassey is. but it is safe TO
say that he isn't giving S. 900 to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund for fun. He is proba-
bly, one of those English manufacturers
who pay their employees anywhere from 50
to GO cents a day, and want chance TO
enter American markets on those terms.
How do American workingmen like this
alliance between British gold, greed and
avarice, and the Democratic Free Traders.
The Golden Club better keep its money at
home. Every pound it sends to help elect
Grover Cleveland will be matched with a
workineman's vote to defeat him.-Iolvd
