Fashions Fad..


A jacket lined throughout with squirrel fur
is among late inventions OF the London tailor.
II deserves rank with his best efforts in behalf
of womankind.
The half long sleeves, now SO much worn for
evening have often ribbon epaulets, or else
long strings of eestern-lOoking beads pendent
from their lower edges.
Black silk stockings embroidered up the out
side of the leg to simulate buttons and button
holes, so recall bishops CATERS as TO have a
decided ecclesiastical tang.
The plain coat sleeve is rarely seen nowadays.
But if it suits ones taste it can be made sulfi-
ciently dressy by setting four bands of wide
velvet diagonally across it.
Diamonds and rubIes set in a pattern of ivy
leaves upon a background of black enamel
make the cases of some of the handsomest new
watches. A dogs head in black enamel with
collar OF pearls is the most unique of mourning
scarf pins
Long scaris Of colored lace are even newer
than the boa for wear about the throat They
harmonize much more completely with the en-
pire gown, but lack the warmth and richness of
fur, and have a certain fly-away or frOst-bitten
effect
Figaro jackets are nov made Of braid and
beeds and lined with bright silk TO match the
accessories Of the costume. Sometimes the
fabric is in cashmere colors with a good black
lining, in which case the CONNECTION may ac-
company almost any toilet
Reception gowns are now cut tremendously
low in front. Though the chenisette worn
under them comes almost to the ears, its soft
whiteness and the pearl ribbon so literally
bestowed on IL do but highten instead OF
softening the startling effect.
London furriers are now besieged TO sell
snaps of sealskin. With these. since the
Colonial exposition, il is fashionable to line

the Akka, il is believed, are the remnants
OF once very numerous race, and both
are gradually diving out, victims OF the
more powerful tribes around them and OF
their inferior attainments in the arts OF
living. Many of the Batwa children die
for lack even of such imperfect care as
most savage mothers give their offspring.
There seems to be little maternal affec-
ton, and in fight the tiny mothers have
often been known to abandon their babies
TO their fate. At the furthest points
reached on both the Bussera and Tchuapa
rivers, about 215 miles apart, the con-
tinued advance of the little steamer
Peace was rendered impossible by
the frantic hostility OF the Batwa
and their neighbors. Won Francois, one
OF the most graphic writers and accom-
plished geographers who have visited
Africa, makes lively picture of the
howling little demons on the shores of
the Bussera, showering hundreds OF ar
rows that, Shiny with poison, dashed
against the steel network which pro-
tected the steamer, or stuck in its wooden
sun roof He gives us vivid idea OF the
agility and acrobatic accomplishments OF
these people 2l5 miles away on the
Tchuapa. He saw the little warriors
clambering along precipitous slopes above
the river, where there seemed hardly a
foothold; saw them swinging like mon
keys from limb to limb of trees, and
climbing out on branches Overhanging
the water so that they might speed
their arrows at shorter range
against the putting and i'm
pertinent monster that had dared to
intrude upon the privacy of the little
folks. He heard their ear-splitting yells,
which were wholly out OF proportion TO
their physical insignificance. Grenfell is
a man OF peace, and, unlike some other
explorers, he did not choose TO shoot lead
at them. A blank cartridge, however,
had an excellent moral effect when the
enemy took to the canoes and seemed
bent on making prize of the little vessel.
What is the past history of these most
unique and extraordinary of African
races? We are not likely to have a COM
plete answer to this question. As yet we
have had only glimpse OF them and the
study of their languages, traditions, and
habits may throw light upon their past.
All our present evidence points to the
probability that they have descended
from the earliest inhabitants of the con-
tinent. We know something OF the mi
grations of the tribes around them, and
there may yet be found evidence to show
the correctness of the hypothesis that the
Aka north and the Batwa south of the
Congo, the Doko of Abyssinia, the 0bongo
of the Gaboon, and the Bushmen OF South
Africa are all remnants OF one great
ancient family

THE FEMININE LAP.
Why is Woman Unable to Write Upon n
Table Desk, Etc.
New York Press


1t is doubtful if there be any masculine
lap. The male of the human species has
knees, and that is all Marco Polo, Hero
dotus, or some other distinguished liar,
tells about certain far countries where it
is the astonishing custom for the young
men of the tribe TO carry on their court
ship of the squaws by holding them "on
their laps" while they point out the ef-
fulgent moon to these remarkable young
women, and lay plans for future house
keeping. But both Of these worthy
historians are apt to use their words
carelessly, and it is probable that
even if such strange people and customs
do exist the young women would laugh at
the idea that the young men had anything
but pair of more or less bony knees on
which to hold them. But the feminine
lap is indispensable to the female-man
has no such comprehensive convenience
she keeps fancy work in ii (except for the
accidental ball which rolls Out) she LAYS
down books in it, it holds her handker-
chief, bonbonniere, flowers, program (if at
the theaterl, fan, muf, parssol her plate
and teacup (if at supperl and all her endless
impedimenta. 1t is a pocket-all mouth
an adjustable table, a bureau drawer, a
work basket, valise, and, above all, 4
desk. just why woman SnOul0 De IN
able 10 write upon table or desk like an
ordinary male Christian it is hopeless to
conjecture. A recently published account
OF Olive Thorn Miller's literary workshop
gives an apt illustration of this curious
idiosyncrasy OF womankind. She has a
pleasant, well-ftted room, with flowers
and books and pets and a desk. This
piece of furniture is described as being
covered with books and manuscripts,
while lap tablet upon which
she writes lies among the pa
pers awaiting her convenience. We have
often seen a fair young creature who
wished to write letter take small book
and deposit in in the all-suficient lap and
laboriously scribble away, when large
and convenient fiat table stood beside her
chair. And she holds the ink in her lap,
too, with a dexterity sufficient to dis
hearten an East Indian juggler. Why
she prefers to do it only an omniscient
Providence knows. 1t would seem that
the force and pungency OF a girls letters
are the direct result OF her finding the
only support for her right arm at the point
OF her pen. 1t is one OF natures phenom-
ena-as well ask why violets are blue or
why rain is always so unpleasantly and
continuously wet.

broidery in silver and fastened at the
throat and waist with large frosted silver
ornaments. This upper dress is without
sleeves and is lined with white silk, and
hung so as to show the lining a trifie.
Under it is worn petticoat OF white
mOire, the sleeves being also of this
material. Gray velvet slippers finished
with white bows and two snow-white
humming birds for the hair are the
accessories of this dainty white-house
robe.
One OF the most beautiful OF the new
imported tea gowns belongs to Mrs. Frank
Leslie. 1t is OF Dubarry pink brocade-a
kind OF modified salmon-figured in dark
red, and is long and full in the back, with
hanging sleeves. The front is gathered
mass OF salmon-colored surah, caught at
the waist by an inside sash of red silk
with figured and embroidered ends.
Kitty Cheatham, the pretty actress, has
n tea gown OF the softest dull white silk,
in her home, not her theatrical, wardrobe.
About the hem OF the plain skirt runs
wide border of black fur. A broad collar
OF fur is drawn about the neck and there
is more at the waist, whitening the neck
and hands like black velvet.
Mrs. Langtry, who pays quite as much
attention to gowns to wear at bone "a to
gowns for the stage, has just made from
her own design a very fetching tea gown.
1t has a petticoat of the palest gold camels
hair, a real India fabric, finer and more
costly than most silks Above this skirt
comes q blouse of soft gold surah, with
girdle in green velvet laced with gold
cords. Over the blouse is worn a square
fronted Russian tea-jacket of green velvet,
finished at the edges with gold cord and
fastening with large gold buttons. From
the waist hangs green velvet pocket, at
tached by a gold chain, and from the
pocket peeps q lace handkerchief. The
skirt is demi-trimmed behind, but short
enough in front to allow peep at green
velvet slippers, with high, gilded heels.
and some faint suspicion of green stock
ings clocked with gold.
The most unique tea gown seen this
winter is worn by quite young girl. 1t
has an accordiOn-plaited skirt OF white
wool, over which comes a half-long tea
coat made in genuine Louis Quatorze
fashion, sloping away to show an en-
broidered waistcoat, both coat and waist
coat being of leather. The soft ooze calf,
which is the shOemaker's present favOrite,
Is the material, and it is beaded and
stitched with silk TO make very grand
garment.
The violin gown is one OF the tea gowns
latest rivals. SO many young women
have set themselves in practicing with the
bow that the violin gown is the attire in
which these musical aspirants are most
likely to be found OF an afternoon. The
violin gown most often is of creamy
primrose color, the tint which contrasts
most splendidly with the dark red of
the plished wood. \ pale yellow silk
skirt, held by a sash OF crepe with
fringed ends, tied to hang low in front, a
round waist with lace sleeves in soft puffs
about the arms and coming only to the ell
bows, forms the basis of the violin gown
last seen. Clusters of deep red artificial
roses deliCately perfumed were fastened in
the draperies. and a large opal glowed
from bracelet on the wrist. The opal is

q blouse vest and petticoat OF fine white
Spanish point, in designs OF flower gar
lands looped with ribbons, the designs
being outlined on the lace in gold thread.
The waist was encircled by broad sash
of Liberty sill: OF pale gold. The second
gold and white combination was of amber
velvet, the color being rather subdued
than bright The blouse front was Of
cream lace drapcd very full and fastened
with coquettish bows OF narrow ribbon at
the side All the edges. fronts, collar and
skirt were bordered heavily with black
fur. II made what they call this winter

One green tea gown was a tea green
jacket, which is an agreeable variation.
it was made of smOOth-faced green cloth
cut short and sharp in front with long
directOire cOat-tails in the back. The vest
was OF black crepe draped in many soft
folds and embroidered ith golden bees
Il broad sash of this embroidered crepe
appeared from under the jacket fronts,
vas knotted on one side and fell to the
lem of the gown. The other green tea
gown was Of stamped velvet, the ground
being absinthe, relieved by large group
of flowers in dark red. 1t was Ened with
red surah and trimmed with dark fur.

a Young Farmers Experience With a Faith
Cure Convert.


Cure Convert.
SPRINGFIELD, H., Jan. 4.-Robert Watts, a
young farmer from Chatham, who came to
town the other day TO attend faith cure meet
ing, announces himself quite satisfied with his
experience up to the present time, and will re-
turn home Among the recent converts is
Anna Delaney of Taylorville, young woman
about twenty years old. Since her conversion
she has taken up her residence in this city, and
is q regula- attendant at the afternoon and
evening meetings, going into frances upon the
slightest provocation. While in a trance she
sometimes walks about the hall. At the meet
ing Wednesday afternoon the girl was in
a trance as usual, and in walking up
and down the aisle passed young Watts
who was standing among n group OF sight
seers in the rear of the hall. As she did SO
she caught hold of his hand with a grip so firm
that although he struggled to get loose, he was
unable to do So Several men tried to stop the
girl, but she continued walking and Watts was
compelled TO follow her. 1t was o'clock in
the afternoon when Anna took her companion
by the hand, and il was seven and half hours
before he Tegained his freedom. When she
walked Watts had to walk, and when she
stood he had to stand. All the afternoon and
evening he suffered us he probably had never
suffered before, and wiped great drops of per-
spiTation from his forehead, while the faith
cure band prayed, shouted and sang them
selves hoarse. Shortly before midnight Miss
Delaney fell to the floor She was placed upon
q stretcher and in about five minutes let go her
hold OF Watts, greatly TO that individuals re-
lief. The young farmer lost no time in getting
out of the hall. His hand is swollen so that
he is hardly able 10 use it. Miss Delaney came
out of the trance yesterday, but has no recol-
lection CT what transpired-
