DECOLLETE GOWNS.
Every Mistress of the White House
Has Worn Them,

IN CONNECTION with the mucl-dis-
4 cussed question of Mrs. Harrison's
wearing decollete gowns. investi-
cation has brought to light the
fact that every mistress of the
White house has worn them-so
that, though Mrs. Harrison when in
Washington as senator's wife never
cut her gowns low, she will be breaking
a tradition if she refuses to do so as a
presidents wife. Martha Washington
began it, and, having a pair of very
white, plump shoulders, she wore de-
collete gowns whenever there
was a reasonable excuse for
doing so. Mrs. Jackson had
low bOdices made to her evening dress
eS after her husbands election, but died
before the inauguration and never wore
them. Dolly Madison was Quaker and
did not wear them always, but on state
occasions of diplomatic and cabinet din
ners, she too wore low dresses, and
grleyous to say. rouged as well. Har-
riet Lane Johnson, who presided over
Buchanan's household had got her ideas
OF decollete gowns from the English
women during her long residence at the
Court of st. James, and in consequence
wore them as low as they are to be
seen at the Queens drawing-rooms.
which is very low indeed. She came
into power during the reign of the
bodice cut across from shoulder to
shoulder, with deep curtain of frilled
lace hanging from it. She cut hers
pretty far down. Mrs. Cleveland wears
decollete gowns, but very modest ones.
This has been an administration of
pretty shoulders. Besides Mrs. Cleve-
sand's are Mrs. Whitney's, famous for
sheir whiteness and symmetry. Only
less beautiful are Mrs. Dickerson's,
whose nuque is perfect. and as white
and smooth as satin. Mrs. Fairchild
has dimples in her shoulders, which are
of that pulpy, translucent fairness that
one sees in the rosy flesh of a child.

A Special Order
Albany Journal.

Albany Journal.
A little child at Troy was much
pleased to be told that she had little
baby brother, and was exceedingly anx-
ious to know whence it came. The lit
tie prattler was put off by the state
ment that the letter carrier had brought
it. Soon after i'm her glee she was tel
ling a neighbor of her good Torture.
The neighbor, to arouse the curiosity of
the child, said: swell, that was mis-
take on the part of the carrier. He prom
ised me that baby, and by mistake left
it at your house. WELL" said
the little one, ''this was intended for
my mamma, and we have already named
it after grandpa; so you can't have it,
for the letter-carrier comes again in the
afternoon, and L will see him and tell
him that he must bring you one, too"
The little one patiently watched at the
window until the letter-carrier came,
and at once delivered herself of her
charge, much to the amusement of the
letter-carrier, who took in the situation
and promised that he would not forget
to fill the order with the first little baby
he had to spare.

THE WOMAN IN 1T.
Figuring Out the Feminine in the
Samoan Case.

49, HERE is a saying in Paris that it
is not necessary for a great man
to make mots: that the public will
invent them and attribute them to
him. So it is not at all obligatory
for woman to cause every trouble, be-
cause she will get the credit of it any
how, and might as well save herself the
fatigue. just now the neWSmongerS
are looking for the woman" in the Sa-
moan difficulty, and they announce that
she has been discovered in the person
OF Princess Laupepe, daughter of King
Malietoa. She was the beauty of the
Islands, and the young German naval
officers all made eyes at her and
struggled with each other for her fav-
ors. But this princess, being a person
of the most luminous good taste, greatly
preferred the officers of the American
men-of-war which were from time to
time stationed there. About the time
that the Germans began to try some of
their peculiar colonial methods on King
MalietOa the princess was invited to be
present at ball on board a German
naval vessel. If Laupepe had been
dipiomatiSt she would have accepted
and gone, but being only an artless
Samoan who didn't like German love
making, she refused promptly,
without assigning any reason for
doing so. This was bad
enough, and the Germans were suf1i-
GENTLY resentful at the absence of the
islands beauty and best dancer, but
what was their wrath and amazement
at hearing, three days after, that at the
ball on board the American man-of- war
Adams the beautiful princess had been
the life of the occasion. From that mo-
ment Malietoa'S doom was sealed. and
whatever Bismarck or Bayard may say,
whatever the diplomatic newspapers
may put forth about colonial schemes
and mere vulgar matters of coaling sta
lions, ETC., the real cause of the Samoan
trouble is a dusky Helen, who may yet
beautiful cause of a ten-years' war be-
tween Germany and America.

must be settled upon. In both those cities
these remarked divorces have worn
green with silver, the blue or green
being of those shades that are just off
of white. A pretty red-haired Chica-
goan wore the other day on such an oc-
casion very pale shade of pink. But
none of these quite fills the need in that
that they are not distinctive enough
and might be worn by any one on any
occasion. The only feasible suggestion
made so far is that they should wear
white and gold. Wells. of course, are
out of the question, but orange and
myrtle combined may be worn in the
hair and upon the dress. Nothing bet
ter than this has been suggested.

The man who originated the Oft
quoted and unScientific maxim, sFeed
a cold and starve fever" either did
not understand what he was writing
about or he has been widely misunder-
stood, to the great injury of multitudes
who have acted on the absurd maxim.
Presenting that the author of it
was a physician. who knew some
thing of the nature of a
cold and the action of remedies,
he must have spoken Subiunctively,
and not imperatively. And then it
would read thus: If you stuff cold,
the consequence will be that you will be
thrown into fever, as a result of tue
Stuffing treatment of the cold: and then
you have to starve the fever. This

commonly received maxim, which has
done as much harm as any of the thou

the dark ages of ignorance and super
Stition, and claSSed with lunar and Stel-
lar influences over the human body,
witchcraft and other abSurdities long
since exploded in the progress OF true
science. Without dwelling on the ma
ture and causes of colds, or OH what
physicians call the pathology of
these disorders. l will say that
a low or even starvation diet
for few days, with the free drink
ing of warm, mildly stimulating teas, is
better for cold than any drug or rombi-
nation of drugs. If, with this warm
bath or hot footbath is taken. little
more will be needed. Nine cases in ten
of colds can he broken up in their early
stage by hot foot, or rather leg bath,
keeping the bath as hot as it can be
borne until perspiration arises. After
the bath drink half pint of hot lem
Onade and go to bed.

an immense boa constructor waving his
head to and fro, with his scales glitter

We could have shot him first, but
they wanted to capture him alive. After
a while, by pulling and choking him,
they made him give up and pulled him
down from the tree. He was big fell

snakes also catch them when they can;
but usually the monkey is cleverer than
the snake. They sometimes gather in
big bands and club the boas to death.
The Malays made a big cage very
quickly, cutting lengths of bamboo and
notching them together, into which
they put the snake, and swinging it on
two poles marched off with it On their

DRESS FOR A OIVORCEE,
An Which to Appear for Her
Second NuDtiaIs.


; :; y; i; $::
! question of absolute importance,
for the tribe of the Divorces
grows apace. At recent reception at
a well-kn0wn house, nine of them were
counted in the room OF once. Their re-
marriages are frequent, and as fashions
in the matter of weddings are very
rigid. it is considered necessary
to discuss this subject thoroughly,
and get it settled at once. So
ciety has really no precedent to
guide it, for the every shade of gray,
ranging all the way from the very nearly
white pearl-gray to the warm-tinted
ashes of roses, which has been held to
be the widows color for weddings and
which has typified the vague shadow of
reminiscent regret for the first spouse,
would hardly be appropriate for the di-
vorcee. who, presumably, can have no
regrets for the first. Indeed, the wild
ows object very strongly to sharing
their rights i'll this color with the grass
widow. and the maiden brides have set
their little feet down against the white,
which Is their immemorial possession,
being used by women who have already
worn it once. To wear travelling dress
and be married quietly and inform
ally in church is what the widows and
the maids recommend to the Divorce,
but she is for the most part a person lit
tie used to dictation. and is little likely
to take it from women who have hap
pened to be more fortunate than she in
her experience with the other sex. In
England divorces are always married
In such very private manner that the

turbing one. but in Chicago and San
Francisco they insist upon certain

alliance, and, therefore, some costume

SOLDIER AND STATESMAN.
An Instructive Little Anecdote of
Two Very Famous Men.

~ ISMARCK and General Sheridan,
- our "little Phil" stood near
egch other at the battle of
e0 Sedan, where the defeat and
capture of Napoleon Ill.
brought the great Franco-German war
to close. Surveying the field with his
glass towards the end of the fight, but
before it was really ended. Sheridan
turned to the count and said: 1.-The
battle is Won"
Bismarck replied that he would be
glad to think so, but he saw no signs of
it. In few minutes. however, the
French gave way, and the German
standards waved in triumph.
Soon the general turned his glass
towards Sedan and remarked: 1.-THE
emperor is theren'
''Oh, impossible!" cried Bismarck ;;''he
would never be so foolish as to place
himself in such position as thatI"
But the general was right-the en-
peror and his attendants had been taken
as prisoners of war-and Sheridan,
though far away from the scene, knew
what was going on there from the large
staff and the great confusion among
them.
The impression that any occurrence
makes upon a spectator depends largely
upon the latter's mental training and
habits.

Youths Companion.
An old wolf, who had become deaf
and blind from weight Of years. having
occasion to make journey through
forest, caused one of his young ones to
go before him, taking the young ones
tail in his mouth to guide him.
In this way the old wolf made very
good progress through the woods; but a
passing hunter. seeing the strange pro-
cession, fired at the young wolf.
The shot missed his body. but cut off
the young VOLTS tail, and the animal,
greatly frightened, ran off as fast as his
legs could carry him.
The old wolf, who, of course, had
neither heard nor seen anything of the
affair, stood wondering what the young
one was waiting for. Whereupon the
hunter came up, and, taking the young
VOLTS detached tail in his hand, started
home with it.

ONE DAY.

! treasure in my heart the memory Of
A day which seemeth made of nought but
love;
oh, long ago it was but it shall e'er
Remain with me as that small, stinted
share
Of happiness which Fate to mortals gives:
And just so long as that remembrance lives
Though joy itself should prove a futile
quest,
All ever shall feel my life was blest
By that one day.
Now that fair day is long since passed and
dead;
The years have slowly come and quickly
fed;
Love singeth now a sad and mournful lay
He Singeth reQuiemS for that vanished day.
When Fate had brought us then but heart
to heart!
All, it was hard that just as we began
To love and live, our lives together ran
But that one day!
Oh. had we understood each others
hearts,
And known what happiness true love
Our lives had not been tinctured with
regret
Our days with woe had not been sore beset
But all, too late we saw the dire mistake
Too late we tried to reparation make;
And now through coming years we've
nothing lett
OF Joy but memory-of all else bereft
But that one day.

WHAT is GRAVITY?
A Simple Explanation of the Law
of GraVitation.

A Simple EXpianatIen or the Law
of Gravitation.
~ RAVlTY exists wherever there
is matter. 1t is the power which
every particle of matter pos
~ sesses of drawing every other
particle to itself. AS you stand
on the earth you are drawn
down towards it. If some one were to
lift you up and then let you loose you
would fall; in other words, you would
be drawn strongly towards the earth
beneath you.
On the other side of the world, which
is round like ball, is another country
where people live. Almost opposite
where you are standing now is the Cape
of Good Hope. There are children
standing there with their feet to the
earth-upside down, to your notions.
Take an orange or ball and stick two
pins straight into the opposite sides.
Let one of the two pins be you, and the
other some little Hottentot in South
Africa, the heads of the two pins your
heads, and the points your feet.
Though the HottentOt child is upside
down to you, he is all right to himself,
for the earth is beneath his feet; if he
drops stone, it falls to the earth in the
direction from the head Of the pin to
the point. just as stone you drop falls
to the earth in the direction from your
head to your feet.-Sophie B. Rerrick

LIFE AND DEATH.

We cannot predicate we do not know
Which be the greater blessing-life or
death;
The soul may hold a newly dawning
breath;
We cannot say that cease of life is woe
The night precedes the mornings roseate
glow.
Nor can we tell which be more truly blest-
The infant dying on its mothers breast,
Or he who journeys through lifetime slow.
And painful takes with aid of staff and
crutch
His few last steps. The one has never
known
The joys of life-nor yet the blighting touch
OF knowledge, and his soul has joyful
flown:
The other-has lived-and suffered much;
But as he dies his lips emit a groan.
Rhodes Mcknight.
