The sealsisin Coat.

The latest rival to the sealskin coat is
the Russian long coat, made OF fine Rms
sian broadcloth. This fabric is so warm
and thick that nc lining whatever is nee
essary. 1t can therefore be adjusted to
the figure with great perfection. Black
~long-haired fur is the favorite border for
these cloaks, and where the form is light
a cape collar is added. Other garnitureS,
noted on Russian surtouts of Eiffel red,
mahogany and dark blue Austrian cloth
are black silk cord appliques and pende-
loques in painted devices, velvet sleeves,
cape collar and pocket-fiaps, and bands of
galloon in gold, copper, or silver, inter
woven with a color matching the wrap.
The following, which is copied from
the Chicago Herald, will be of interest
to owners of sealskin coats:-American
fishers capture seals, kill and skin them,
salt and dry the hides, and sell them in
great bales to to the furriers. Arrived
there one would suppose the sealskin was
nearly lone its travels. but instead it has
only begun. After a picking process
the hide a sealskin is '~'plucked," as the
process is called. 1t may not be gener-
ally known to the wearer of furs, but the
seal, like lots of other things, wears two
coats-an inner covering OF soft, thick,
warm fur, and an outer garment
of hair, whose greater length
protects the closer vesture from
the damaging effect of contact with
water and the icy rocks of the North.
This hair must all be plucked or pulled
out, leaving the skin with the soft growth
Of fur alone. Then the pelt is given a
brief farewell. and is shipped to London,
where one single firm, the Martins, has a
monopoly OF the dyeing business. Just
why no other dyers have ever won favor
in the eyes of good judges nobody seems
to know. but the fact is a sealskln must
be MARTIN dyed" in order to sell. The
furs are shipped to London, dyed by u
firm that never gives up its secret, and
are returned to America, paying freight
both ways and an import duty here, all of
which expense is added to the selling
price of a cloak, cape or muff, and all OF
which, if the merchants know them
selves, the purchaser-not the foreigner
pays. Dealers and experts agree that
the Martin dye is almost unapproachably
fine, giving a vivid black color to the
| goods, that it lasts as long as the fur will
last, and is yet composed of ingredients
so light as to add nothing perceptible to
the weight of the garment. Recently
some American dyers have succeeded in
accomplishing results In every way as
good as Martins, but the fad has OBJ
tanned so long that ladies' demand for
Martin dye makes that an essential, al
though they could not distinguish the
difference on the most critical inspection.

all kinds could be sold in Chicago fol

When we were coming up in the train |
had exhausted ali my reading material,
and. therefore conned over q page of an
swers TO correspondents in a Ia dies paper
on the subject OF moies and their mean-
ings. had no idea that they meant any
thing. However, l find that q mole on a
woman's left shoulder betokens a life
of continual anxiety and humiliation
caused by her own vanity. If on the top
OF her left arm it signifies i'll success in
love affairs and q likelihood OF being be-
trayed by her female friends. others are
no less eloquent though in a more cheer
full direction. On the right hip denotes
good fortune, happy marriage and long
life. The lucky owner of this FESTIVE iit-
tie mark is assured that she has no dan
ger to ~apprehend from her moies:.
1t would seem, from other replies, that
those on the right side of the body or
limbs are of pleasant augury, while those
On the left are of sinister significance.
One on the right side of the chin is de-
elared to be to d woman q token OF GOOD
fortune, happy marriage and long lie,
whatever its color. 1t is astonishing how
ClOSSlf SOlLlt VA tu6S6 SuIdll lid no CoA
p~articuiarize in the prophetic strain.
Take, for instance, the eloquent mole on
the right temple, which shows good and
happy fortune in marriage, but the likel-
food of being a widow; yet it promises TO
the owner that she shall be equally for
tunate with her second husband. Such .
blissful fate as this is almost unique. L
should fancy. It goes to show that there
Is really nothing in the shape CT good that
a well-conditioned mole will shrink from
prophesying.
Several of those described by CORE
spondents are interpreted as referring to
second marriages. A decided inclination
to deal i'll plurals is perceptible, though
third marriages are not mentioned by any
of the prophetic moles. some of them
even forecast the SANDER that is TO attack
their possessurs. If one is on the middle
of the neck, but inclined toward the right
shoulder, 1t shows that its wearer is
likely to be loved of great mobiles or those
much above her in station, and to be very
vain on this account. But if it be near
the left shoulder, she will get herself
much talked about in consequence of her
careless behavior.
There is no suggestion OF any means OF
circumventing ones moies and avoiding
the disagrseables they promise
"Mddge."

The Shah of Persia.

AT the visit of the Shah of Persia to
Waddesden Manor. the country seat of
Baron Ferdinand Won Rothschild, he in.
speeted all the treasures and antiquities
OF the baron, but was pleased most with
a jewel set mantle clock, which is a YER
table work of art. The central figure OF
this clock is that of an elephant, which,
when the clock is wound, begins to wag
his golden tail, move his jeweled trunk
shake his large ears n turn his small
diamond eyes; thereupon the lotos
flowers, formed Of jewels, at his feet, be-
gin to open, a procession passes by, and
from under the enameled leaves OF the
bushes snakes and other reptiles crawl
out. The shah was exceedingly charmed
with this costly toy, which had constant
ly to be wound again for his delectation,
and his behavior demonstrated that the
illustrious shahen-shah preferred it to all
the treasures owned by Rothschild.
Articles had finally to be resorted to to
attract his attention to other things, for
fear he might express a desire to possess
it.-JetggteTS' Circular.

AN ECCENTRIC LADY.

Over Fifty Old Bonnets and Seventy
Shawls Found Among Her Effects.
PTTTsFIELD, Mass, Feb. 13.-The in
ventory of the estate of Miss Catherine
Plerson, of Richmond, lately deceased
at an advanced age, is great surprise
to her relatives, Notwithstanding she
was known to possess considerable
wealth. The inventory just filed shows
a personal estate OF $780, 600, nearly all
in government bonds and bank and
first-class railroad stocks. Miss
Pierson was a noted character in
the county for years. She always
attended the annual cattle show, be-
decked to the extreme fashion with dia.
monds sparkling in old-fashioned set
tings, and created much curiosity. The
appraisers had a difficult task to in
ventory her apparel and household
goods. They found collection of fifty
bonnets of all styles dating back over
half a century, and seventy shawls, in
Guiding many rare and valuable ones.
Among other curious articles discovered
were 800 small Walls which had some
time or other contained medicine, all
carefully emptied, washed, wrapped in
white tissue paper and packed away in
drawers. In dresses there was most
surprising array of old silks and satins,
many having been made just in style,

WHOLESALE OPIUM FRAUDS
Immense Quantities of the Drug Import
ed Into the United Ste tes

Immense Quantities of the Drug Import
ed Into the United Stst es.
The fact that the quantity of crude
opium imported yearly into British
Columbia from China has increased
from II 100 to l02, 900 pounds since 1878
has attracted considerable attention,
and with view to ascertaining how the
produce of this crude article is disposed
of the matter is to be brought up in
the Canadian Parliament. 1t is an
open secret that nine-tenths OF
the prepared opium produced
by the fifteen opium factories in Vic
toria is destined for and struggled into
the United States. The object of bring
ing the question up is to ascertain
whether the Dominion government will
not impose high or prohibitory duty
on the crude material to assist the
United States authorities in preventing
the wholesale fraud. One of the mem
bers from British Columbia says that
the Canadian officials had already
been instructed to cooperate with
the American consul at Victoria in fol-
lowing up shipments from the factories
to their destination and in bringing the
guilty parties to Justice. He says that
it is impossible to estimate the magni-
tude of the frauds which are at pres sent
being perpetrated upon the United
States government through smuggling
OPIUM, which traffic is being carried on
right under the eyes of the United States
officials, who so far have been unable to
break up the gang.
