Recorder Davenport of Kansas City,

that this is a free country, and there can be
no law which prevents women from dressing

Two very new ways of wearing natural
flowers are either in n graduated cluster,
very full at the throat and tapering to thd
merest vine at the waist, or else in a fam
boyant spray so far to the left side as barely
to escape the motion of the arm, and just OPP

Gold and SILVER embroidcries are moro
elaborate and artistic than over and usually
show some admixture of steel or "copper".
They cover the cloth ground entirely, and
are used for collars, cuffs, vests. panels,
peasant waists, Wristbands and in every
other way possible.
The new striped silks will be made W
without drapery, and "a stylish corsage can
be made by cutting backs and fronts bias and
accurately matching the stripes. Another
way is to have only the front bias, and with
out darts the fullness pleated in Il wide cross

There is q prevailing fancy for capriciously
raising or lowering and bending the brims Of
the largo round hats to suit individual faces.
Some of the new autumn hats Of dark straw
are excessively large, Win Jhe Drlm most

and more TO the front, and while many are
merely two rows of lace gathered and las.

more are heightened to a V that reaches the

A lady who has done great honor to her sex
in scholarship is Miss Cora Benneson, of
Quincy. Ill, who at present holds u fellow

She was a graduate at the University of
Michigan with high honors, and
received the degree of l.. l.. B. cum laude
from the same institution. Several years
ago she went around the world, going the
greater part of the way alone, and then
spent some time 'roughing it" in the Rocky
mountains and in California.
A stylish, economical, and very fashion,
able dress, black, appropriate for all ordin-

The bodice can be trimmed with five rows OF
ribbon extending from the V in front, over

Ripe cherry and ochre are combined in au-

Teel or apricot Is q very favorite shade in

Both chenille and big beads are seen in
new embroideries, but so judiciously used
that the effect is not loud,
Mrs. Sarah Head, of Chester, N. H., a
widow aged e~ighty-one, moved and put into
her barn this summer one-half ton Of hay.
Green in many distinct shades, from gol-

is a very conspicuous color in millinery for
the coming season.

There are imported this season extra
heavy jerseys, which are to be worn during
the fall in lieu of a street jacket. These are
stylishly and elegantly decorated.
Satin woven stripes appear in the new
woolcns, mainly in gray green and gray-blue
cries, either galloon or embroidery.
The fichu shawls of net, black or white,
and lace edged, worn throughout the sum

China crepe, black, white or colored.
In beads and cord the most daring combi-

They are made with rounded toes and a very

Word comes from Paris that black ribbon
and black lace may be fashionably used with
white or all pale colors, and that the cheap
est stuffS may be made into elegant costumes
by proper and profuse use of them.
Many of the newest autumn woolens show
a decided double twill with a deep lined
Persian border along one edge. Others show
the rich figures all over, and will be used in
combinations with plain stuff OF their ground

Many fine twilledo woolens nave ribbon

Eicctpic Mining Road at Lykens, Pa.
Practical Electricity. Among the in
teresting applications Of electricity to
mining work, the electric road in the
coal-mines at Lykens, Pa, is IN Of the
most successful. 1t has been pointed
out that electricity offers especial adj
vantages for use at mines where fuel is
scarce and w~ater-power Of easy access,
as in the silver and other mines in our
western territory, but besides the de-
creased cost of fuel, the ease with which
electric motors can be used in almost
any position, under conditions that
steam engines could not meet, makes
electric transmission still more valua-
bic. In coal mines the cost of fuel is, of
course, a small itom; but the greater
safety, efficiency and flexibllity of a
system of electrical distribution las COM
pared with q number of steam engines,
give it an advantage which nus soon be
recognized. In the Lykens Valley
Mines there has been used for some
time an electric-motor car to take the
place OF mules for hauling cars from the
mine. The length of the road is 8 $500
feet; the weight of the locomotive, Is 600
pounds; the largest load it is capable of
handling, $50 tons; the speed, 6 to s
miles per hour. A second road on the
same general plan is being equipped for
the same company. The system en-
ployed is the Schlesinger.

Morocco s First Railway.

The first railway has been laid in
Morocco. The line is only toy for
the amusement of the Sultan. but IL
may have fruitful results Nevertheless
The railway, with all its appurten-
ances. is a gift from the King of the
Belgians to Muley Hassan, who APP
pears to be delighted with it. 1t has
been laid in the park surrounding the
imperial palace at Mequinez, and was
lately opened with some pomp. The
railway has been purposcly laid with
several sharp curves and steep gradi-
ents, by the way of showing the Moors
the wonderful things that steam can
do. The saloon-carriage. of which, in
addition to engine, tender and guard $
van. the rollingstock consists, is elab-
orately decorated and upholstered in
style which. although somewhat
bizarre to the European eye. was
thought to be suitable to the taste OF n
Moorish Sultan. Muley Hassan did
not dare to trust himself in the strange
conveyance on the opening day, but
made some of his male relations and
ministers take several trips and recoun,
to him their experiences, which seem.
ed to be thoroughly satisfactory. 81.

Following Fortune Through the Flames.
A Story Of the Great Wars Of To-day.
When the Grand Duke Alexis, Of Russia,
visited the United States he was captivated
by the wild life of the far western plains,
and took great fancy to the cowboys, who
reminded him Of tho famed Cossacks of his
own country There were three cowboys
OF whom he became so fond that he In
vited them to visit him in Russia. One Of
them was jacques Dardeville, from New
Orleans; another was Robert Macy, from
Nantucket, and the third was Rory o. Brien,
who came from Dublin when baby. They
nll had nicknames, Dardevile's being
daredevil Jack" Macy's ), Buckaro Bob"
and O'Brien's little Bricks" from his
small stature and gamy qualities in row.
These cowboys liked the Grand Duke so
well that they resolved to accept his invita-.
tion, and 40 soon as they could get ready,
they went to Russia, and hearing that
Alexis was In Moscow. they hastened thith-

at the theater in English on TIE evening OF
their arrival, and they went to see IT.

Our oldest inhabitant delights to refer TO tAe
good old times, but when you pin him down he
reluctantly yet honestly admits that he n not
name an item or an industry that is not greatly

Take for instance the article Hoods Sarsn-

Another point worthy OF mention right here:
Hoods Sarsaparilla is not an accident, but the

A Manicure Talks Unreservedly About His
Peculiar Trade.
A professional manicure, who has
made a small fortune in the practice of
his peculiar profession in this city for
the past ten years, delivered himself
thus pointedly in relation to his peculiar
art.
"Less than fifteen years ago mani
curing was an unheard of industry in
this country. and it was impossible to
procure the implements necessary to
its practice anywhere but in Paris.
I Now there are few towns so small that
they have not at least one manicure,
and no druggists stock is complete
without supply Of the requisites to
the care of the finger-nails. Doubt
less the present practice is preferable
to the old style pen-knife butchery. but
it is questionable whether our women
and dudes have not let the customary
American excess creep into this as into
most other vices and virtues that we
import from abroad.
"Civilization eliminates from the uses
for the hands certain things which
would make the growth of nails none
too great for the natural wear and tear
on them. and, therefore, cutting or fill
ing them as they grow too long is an
actual necessity. To produce an agree
able result from this process is desir-
able from an aesthetic point of view.
That the sharply pointed and highly.
polished nail prescribed by the profess
sional manicure as the professional
thing is either agreeable to the eye or
in good taste is doubtful. OF course it
is to the interest of the professional
manicure to foster the art
"Taken by itself the finger-nailis is not
altogether lovely object. There is in
It suggestion of our animal nature
and origin. As an unobtrusive portion
of shapely hand. it is not objectiona.
BILE, but the present object of manicur-
ing seems to me to bring the nails into
the utmost conspicuousness. Nature
has provided the nail with soft, dead
luster. which the manicure surplants
with patent-leather polish. To this is
added point. suggestive of the beast
of prey, and q barbarous shipping OF
the skin surrounding the nail.
