 to the Hearts of the Ladies
 Boas, collars and shoulder capes made their appearance with the first frosty days of autumn. The stylish boas are round and Of long fluffy fur, and should be chosen long enough to touch the foot of the dress; they may also serve as the trimming for the fronts of long redingotes, and with round muY, larger than those of last year, they constitute the fash ionable ''set of fur" Russian sable boas are the first choice Then, according to Harper's Bazar are Hudson bay sable boas, black marten, black lynx, black fox, blue fox, black bear and brown bear and the light yellowish brown badger boas.

It is numbered with the most becoming nov cities that have been introduced this season. Shoulder capes or pelerines are more popular than at any former season. Young ladies wear them because they are just short enough to disclose slender long waists, and older la dies like them for the protection they give the chest and shoulder blades and because they are easily put on and off.

Fashions in Gloves

Tan, gray. black and white gloves are the only colors used in fashionable woman's outfit, and it is quite possible for her to be well gloved with all her various kinds of gloves in tan shades, very dark tan color being used for the street in the daytime and vsry light tan for evening. Gray gloves are worn with gray dresses, as are black also; white gloves are now fashionable with white dresses, but light tan shades are oftener used, even by bridesmaids.
 The undressed kid gloves of light quality, with corded backs, are the fashionable choice for visiting and carriage toilets, but heavier kid gloves have wide stitching of self color or of black, and are most used for morn ing walking toilets and with tailor gowns of cloth Some of these are fastened by four largo gilt buttons, while others are in the sac shape, without an opening at the wrist. Evening gloves are as long as ever, and again reach to the lower edge of the short sleeves; they are in mousquetaire shape, and must be quite plain on the back, being very simply corded there. The "drawn seams with edges of the kid showing, are on stylish gloves, and are quite new on black gloves, showing white edges Of the kid
 Ladies' riding gloves are now "tilburied, ! that is, faced double inside tue palms and fingers, just like those worn by men, and they may be short enough to require but one but ton to fasten them, or long enough to re- quire four buttons-Harper's Bazaar.

Arizona's B Statehood.

Arizona is booked for statehood. Our dispatches of last evening an nounce that springer has introduced d bill to make States of Arizona and Idaho, and it is not at all improbable that the House will pass his bill dur ing this term and leave the responsi- bili'y of rejecting them as St .tes to the Republican Senate, if they are re Jected. There are certainly grave ob- jections to the admission of this Ter ritory at the present time though it must be acknowledged that within the next six years she will undoubtedly be asking for admission on the basis of population and a vast development of business and resources that will put her i'll those respects, ahead of many of the smaller States. Arizona to-day has sufficient lands in reclama- tion to afford homes of luxury for an agricultural population of 100000, not to speak of the concomitant population Of our cities and towns and mining regions. The vast advantages of our climate over more northern regions and the numerous legitimate openings for business, are attracting hundreds of young men starting in life, and even men in middle life or old age who have elsewhere accumulated con siderable of a fortune, but who come here to enjoy our climate and invest where the struggle to keep what they have will not be so desperate. Thus our population is rapidly increasing and by virtue of this fact our resources are being developed with an astonish- ing rapidity that will give us the necessary wealth as we'll as population to make Arizona State at an early day without the forcing that was necessary in the case of Nevada and indce Colorado, although the latter has turn. ed out very much as Arizona is destin
 ed to turn out except that our agri cultural resources and climate are vastly superior to like features oi | Colorado. At present our Territory is on the eve of all this development
 The people of the east are just beginning to learn that there Is such Territory as Arizona and that 1t Is located II l the United States, and in one of the most favored sections of that country The Territory is therefore compar atively new and yet needs the help O

New Millinery Trirl1nincs.

Never were the trimmings used on hats and bonnets more varied than at present. Even ribbons, which have long been the most favored garniture, are displayed in an end less variety of new and beautiful designs and make. Watered ribbons are now superseded by rich ribbon velvets in all widths. There are many new and rich fancy ribbons, Ori ental patterns on plain grounds of all the new shades, with threads of gold and silver woven in the patterns. These last are chiefly used as bands to the crowns of hats and bon nets, and are pretty contrast to full bows of ribbon and velvet Apropos of bows, an entire change has taken place; full compact styles have succeeded the wild looking high loops and ends, and are manifest improve nlent in this popular trimming. Several French hats have bows on them entirely of the rosette character. A pretty garniture for the new Harlequin felt hat is composed of two ribbons, one of each shade in the hat, the lighter laid within the dark, and both drawn up together into handsome bow on the crown

Uhooping Cough.

In every case of whooping cough physi- clan should be consulted early in the attack. He can then give full instructions as to man. agement. A child with whooping cough should be well nourished, and food nutritious in character and sufficient in quantity should be urged upon 1t.
 During a fit of coughing the child's head, as he bends forward, may be supported by the hand In some cases putting the finger in the mouth will induce vomiting and so shorten the paroxysrn. Aside from this there Is, according to Journal of Health, very little that the mother can do to assist the patient during his distressing attack.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Little Caprices of Custom That Puzzle the
 Neophyte in Society.

Little Capr1ceS or custom That Euzzle the
 Neophyte in Society.
 Few points of etiquette are more debated than those that relate to the leaving of cards. There is TO end to the dilemmas of the novice as to how and when she shall pour out the contents of her card case upon a thankless world. Shall she leave her card after she has made callf Shall she leave her bus bands card if she is calling on widow or a single lady9 And what if there are daughters belonging to the family on whom she is call ing3 These are but few of the questions that arise.
 Now, the truth is that nothing changes more quickly than the fashions of card leav- ing. Every season brings something new the shibboleth by which the elect may recog nize one another. People who are constantly moving in society pick up this kind of knowl- edge almost instinctively, but it is almost i'm possible for those who go out very little to follow all these little caprices of fashion.
 Of one of these vexed questions-the turn ing down of the corner of a card-it may be said that it is only done when the person called on is not at home. and is supposed to imply that the visitor has left it in person; for it is very clear that none but the owner would take such a liberty es to bend a corner of a card. The upper right hand corner is the one to turn down.

The government of Egypt has be,

The government of Egypt has been persuaded to make surveys which proves the existence of a depressed region nearly sixty miles long by twen ty miles wide, reaching depth of 250 to 300 feet below high Nile. This de pression has for several years been held by D. Cope Whitehouse to be the site of the wonderful artificial Lake Moeris described by Herodotus (fctitiously many believed) with a circumference of 450 miles. The interest at last aroused in Egypt makes it probable that the Nile will soon be admitted to
 his valley by a canal eleven miles long. The creation or restoration of this great artificial lake will give fer tility to a wide area, and reduce the annual inundation of the Nile, while storing water to replenish the river in dry seasons.-La Nature.

Explosives in Mines to be Done Away
 With.

It has been proposed to do away with the use of explosives in mines where their use is attended with dan ger, and substitute the lately invented cartridge, one portion of which is filled with a mixture of fine divided zine and zinc oxide, which collects in the con lenser of the zinc retort, while the other part is filled with diluted sul- phuric acid. According to the requir- ments in this case, the cartridge is put in its intended place, and then, by suitable mechanism, the acid is allow ed to flow into the zinc. Hydrogen is then evolved, and by its expansive force the rock is broken down without combustion or violent explosion.

A Big Mining Deal.

A deal involving the sale of the Sil yer Bell group of mines, near Tucson Arizona, to a syndicate of eastern cap italists, has just been negotiated Judge N F. Cleary, of this city, has acted for the holders of the property, and MT. c. $. Morton, a mining engi- neer of London, England, represents the purchasers. These two gentlemen made trip together to the ground about two weeks ago, and Mir. Morton returned last week with large num- Der of samples, the assay of which he has just finished at the St. Louis sampling works. The ore was taken from fifteen mines, covering 8 space of 300 acres of contagious territory, scarcely any of which has been worked. Nevertheless, there are 100000 tons of ore in sight, upon five of the claims, which assays 40 to 62 per cent in lead and 12 to 27 ounces of silver. The other eight claims are extremely rich in copper, some of it producing AS per cent, the lowest assay for copper find ing 104 per cent. Mr Morton states that the property can be made to pay almost any dividends according to the extent of the plants for developing and treating. He has cabled his principal that the property is a safe investment, and announced last night that the deal was practically closed He de clined to give the names of the pur- chasers, for the present, having no authority to do so, being only paid expert Still he was confident that the deal had been made by the tenor of his cable advices from London. He will remain in St. Louis for day or two longer, waiting for an abstract oi title to the property, and when it ar rives will leave at once for London. MT. Morton says that about $1 ,500,000 will be expended in purchasing and developing the property.-Globe Dem OcrAt

B.ick the Rest BuiIdine Mmter,al.

There is no material, says The American Builder, that can be used for construction equal to brick. Every brick bears its own weight. Bricks have already passed the fiery ordeal before they are used in build ings, and are tempered. Cast iron is not substantial enough, and wrought iron, which is an improvement, stands fire but little bet ter. For fireproof building we would con- struct one of fire brick. Then glaze them and give them good appearance, which is rather ornamental than otherwise
 There are, however, many kinds of ma terial made for the purpose of fireproofng a building after it is constructed, but we are only speaking here of material which Is used in construction, and we have the opinions of both insurance men and heads of fire depart ments, who vie with each other that brick has stood the test better than any other ma terial.

The odorous but Medicinal Onion.

For cold on the chest there is no better specific, for most persons, than well boiled or roasted onions. They may not agree with everyone, but 10 persons with good digestions they will not only be found to be most excel lent remedy for cough, and the clogging of the bronchial tubes, which is usually the cause of the cough, but if eaten freely at the outset of cold they will usually break up what prom ised, from the severity of the attack, to have been a serious one. One med icinal writer advocates the eating of onions in the spring of the year at least once week. Onions, he says, are invigorating and prophylatic be- yond description. Further I challenge the medical fraternity or any mother to point ont place where children have died from diphtheria or scarlatina anginosa. etc, where onions were freely used.-Sln Francisco Bulletin.

neviation of t1,e pendni,,,,,.

A simple method of rendering visible the deviation of the Foucault pendulum has re- gently been devised by Mir. Campbell. The bob of the pendulum is replaced by perma- nent magnet of cylindrical form, placed with its axis coinciding in direction with the suspending wire. On point vertically be- heath the center of suspension is swung hori- Gontally light bar of some magnetic ma terial, carrying mirror from which is re- fiected Q beam of light On putting the pendulum in vibration in the vertical plane which contains the bar, the latter follows the deviation of the pendulum, which is thus rendered very visible by the corresponding reflection of the luminous beam.

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.
SUBJECTS OF INTEREST TO PRO-
 GRESSIVE WOMEN AND MEN.

Investigations and Experiments fin Regard
 to the Phenomena of the Surface Ten
 sion of Liquids, at Present Receiving
 Much Attention from Physicists.
 It is now believed that at the surface of every liquid there is a thin film of the same substance, which is in state of constant ten sion, like an elastic membrane A rubber toy balloon distended with water roughly illustrates the conditions present in drop of that liquid.
 From certain investigations made by Pla- teau and Quincke, it is estimated that the thickness of this film Is not more than 1-500,000 of an inch. The tension of the film varies with different liquids; for water it is about two and three-quarters grains for every inch of length, for alcohol a little less than one grain and for ether only about three-Quarters of grain. The experiments here illustrated by engravings from La Nature show how the existence of surface tension may be easily proven.
