Fashion Notes.

Feather boas are more popular than
ever.
Green retains its place as the favorite
color.
The newest French toques are round
in shape.
A great many black hats aud bonnets
are worn.
Dark green bengaline is used for street
costumes.
Lace is the favorite trimming for even
ing dresses.
Chartreuse and absinthe are the newest
green shades.
The low-crowned hat and bonnet are
coming, but they come, like most good
things, slowly.
Ribbon toques are new. They are in
the long English shape, two kinds of RIB
bon being used.
Misses evening bonnets are in pale
pink or blue tulle, with very long and
very broad ribbons OF the same color.
Quite new and immensely stylish are
the wells of black dotted net drawn
under the chin by narrow black rib
bon.
A white flannel afternoon bonnet
recently seen was trimmed in white
cloth, with green velvet front, laid in
loose folds.
Among the novelties in millinery are
bonnets covered in split zephyr worsteds,
usually white, woven across and around
the crown.
Although coiffures are less voluminous,
the hair is still piled on the top of the
head, while a few light curls fall over
the forehead.
Ribbon mulfs to match the costumes
with which they are worn are novel and
pretty. They are made with alternating
strips of ribbon and Of fur going round
the muff, and many-looped bows OF the
ribbon on the top.
Fillets of ribbon are worn in the
hair with evening toilets; also half
wreaths of tiny flowers, which band the
hair in two pointed, fillet-like rows
These fillets are often finished with
perky bow Of many short loops.
Hats of red clipped beaver are in high
favor this season for children, and are
trimmed with clusters of black velvet
ribbon and black ostrich tips. A slight
face trimming, composed of knots of the
ribbon. is usually placed under the brim
of these hats.
The number of steels used in the dress
skirt depends upon the fabric. If this
is soft and clinging, two steels, with
small cushion pad, are used. Stiff ma
terials require but one steel. ALI steels
are short and flexible, and loosely tied
to forr7small curves.

Around the World in Seventy DAYS.

A Sun reporter asked Mr.. George
FADE, manager for Thomas Cook & Son,
the tourist agents, the exact time in
which a passenger can go around the
world.
after few moments of thought and
study OF guide books Mr.. Fade said:
''.n these days Of rapid transit with
vestibule trains and fast ocean steam
ships it is possible to make a circulation
so close that q person, in New York say,
can decide the very day on which he
will return to the city, having completed

eaying Sydney the same day by train
at !. Is +. ". he would arrive at Mel
bourne at II. IL a. N. on the following
day, December 13. After resting in
Melbourne for day our traveller would
leave by the Psninsular y Oriental Steam
ship Company's steamship on the 14th
for Brindisi, calling en- route at Ceylon,
then crossing the / ed Sea to Port Said,
after which the steamship goes through
the Suez Canal direct to Brindisi, arriv-
ing there on January 20. The train IS
then taken for London which is reache
in three days, and on the following day
(the 24th) he would leave London by
North German Lloyd steamship and
reach New York on February l.
st is q ell-established fact that first
class ocean steamships make their voy-
ages with almost the accuracy of an
ordinary express train; consequently
there is no doubt the journey could be
completed in the time indicated, namely,
eighty-one days.
1'Supposing the journey is reversed,
and our traveller goes east instead of
west, the same ground can be covered
seventy nine days.
Taking again the route through
China and Japan the voyage can be com
pleted in even less time. We have not
worked out the times Of arrivals and de-
partures in detail, but may briefly say
that, allowing six days from New York
to san Francisco, sixteen days thence to
Yokohama, six days from lokOhama to
Hong Kong, where the Peninsular u
Oriental Company's steamship can be
taken for Brindisi, the voyage occupying
thirty-two days; allowing three days
from Brindisi to London, and seven days
thence to New York, the whole voyage
round the world car be completed in
seventy days.

Traveller would have to make allowance

Bull Against PythOns.

Last Sunday week one of the most re-
markable scenes on record is reported as
having been witnessed in the vicinity of
Table Mountain. \ troop of cattle, con-
sisting of twelve COWS and a patriarchal
old bull, were grazing on one of the
plateau like spurs of the mountain, which
is surrounded on three sides by precipi-
tious ravines, and on the fourth side,
that nearest the mountain, by dense bush.
Some natives higher up the mountain
were attracted by the sudden believing
of the CATTLE and saw two enormous
pythons coming out Of the bush aud
making for the cattle, which had drawn
themselves up in a compact grouD with
the bull at its head. As the pythons
drew near the animals gradually backed
till they stood on a small space that
iutted out over a tremendous precipice.
At this stage a sudden rush was made,
but only one heifer succeeded in escap-
ing. The other cattle, believing most
piteously, gradually backed, and one by
one fell over the precipice till finally the
bull only was left. He suddenly charged
at the pig python, transfixing the reptile
on his horns, but the second snake seized
the bull in his folds and, having its tail
around a huge boulder, commenced to
crush the bull, which, moaning piteously,
struggled frantically TO escape. The
tail of the python lost its hold of the
rock, but the larger snake which had
slipped off the horn, tapping its tail
around smaller boulder opposite the
one the other snake had Just released.
seized the bull and compressed the ami
NAL in its scaiy fold. The other python
succeeded in regaining its former posi-
ton, and the bull was literally suspended
in mid air by the snakes. The whole
scene looked like some CHASTITY triumphal
march. The snakes were evidently get
ting the best of the poor brute, which
was bleeding proiusely, when, by sud
den effort, his struggles forced both rep
tiles to loose their hold of the rocks and
the whole three were hurled into the
ravine beneath.
The cattle were found on the first
ledge of the precipice, all being dead,
but the bull and the pythons had bounded
from ledge to ledge, and were found 400
feet below the scene Of the fight The
bull was merely a mangled mass and tho
snakes were greatly mutilated, the larger
one having the vertebr,c broken in nine
places. The pythons, which were of the
rock species, male and female, measured
respectively 40 feet , inches and 50
feet 4 inches.-Aa'aL (South africa

A few words may be said about the
dress of the ladies in ancient Egypt.
They wore a gown OF brightly coloIed
and patterned stuff secured by a sash at
the waist or by belt over the shoulders.
Above this was a large, loose robe of
fine linen, with full sleeves, fastened in
front below the breast The sandals
were usually pointed and turned up at
the toe, aud people of position were very
particular about them. The hair was
worn long or plated III the triple plat,
the ends being tied by a string of the
same color as the hair. The back hair
in plaits reached to the bottom Of the
shoulderblades, while the plaits at the
side fell down to the breast. Ornamen-
tai bands were fastened over the head,
and sometimes combs were worn. The
short hair at the side of the face was in
terwoven with some of the longer hair
and made to fall in little curl Just IN
front of the earring. The earrings
usually worn were large hoops of gold,
of a diameter of from one to nearly three
inches. but one in the shape of dragon
has been found. Rings were generally
worn on the left hand, and particularly
on the third finger; they were of gold.
and were sometimes set with engraved
gems. Anklets and bangles were also
worn, and bracelets set with precious
stones; also necklaces of many devices,
usually with a large drop ornament in
the centre. The appliances of the toilet
used by a lady were numerous and in
Guided n black powder for staining
the eyelids and eyebrows-sntimony
or black oxide of manganese being
generally used. though the black
powder Of burnt almonds seems more
harmless material than these metallic
products. In Egyptian paintings the eye
is often represented as much elongated,
and probably this appearance was pro-
duced by painting. \ bodkin was used
for applying the black powder, Or kohl,
and very elegant little boxes with various
compartments were devised to contain
it. Some large gold-headed pins have
been disco vered, which seem to have
been used TO stick into the hair, much
after the modern fashion. In order to
enhance the beauty of the fingernails the
pink portion of them was stained with
henna, which made the white semi-circle
at the root of the nails stand out more
clearly by contrast. Mirrors were made
of metal, and so highly polished that
they were perfectly adapted for the pur-
pose: they were round, and were in
serted in a handle of some pretty or
quaint design. Sometimes the head of
some hideous monster formed part of
the handle the mirror thus suggesting
the idea of Beauty and the Beast, and
the ugly head serving as foil to the
loneliness reflected in the bright surface
above. The ladies were fond of bathing,
using both the hot and cold bath, but
ordinarily preferring the latter.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

AnYiIs.

s'There is one peculiar little fact in re-
gard to the heavy hardware. business
said Mr.. James NJ. Corbitt, Nice-Presi-
dent of the Beck S CorBitt Iron Co., in
a recent conversation with a Republic
representative, (which is deserving of
mention. We issue a catalogue of 1000
pages, containing q list of every article
of iron and heavy hardware which we
manufacture or sell. of the thousand
therein enumerated there is only one
that we have to import, everything else
being manufactured best in this coun-
try, and that one article is an anvil.
Three or four manufacturing firms in
England supply the entire world with
anvils, and one especially, in Dudley,
England, whose goods are the standard
in that line. And anvils also are the
only articles we handle which we do not
guarantee. Blacksmiths are so careful
as regards their anvils, and there is such
a peculiar temper necessary, that we re-
quire them to test an anvil for them
selves, or when we receive an order by
mail we ship the anvils without guaran-
teeing, and as Il rule the standard makes
go through all right. Why it is that
this country does not manufacture an
anvil equal to the English ones l do not
know, but the fact is that they do not,
and hence that one article has to be
bought from the English manufacturers.

A Miners Awful ExuerIeRce.

It falls to our lot to record an incident
that causes a shudder in its contempla-
tlon. A week ago last Sunday Tom
Ryan, well known in these parts, left
Williams's ranch for prospecting tour
for the day. For all that Ryan is givep
to bibulous proclivities, this day he was
ity, and had been for several days. Attir-
ing himself to suit his intended excur-
sion, Ryan ''struck out and that was
the last seen of him for six days. Queries
had been made regarding his non-appear-
ance, but no knowledge of his existence
could be obtained.
Last Saturday William NJ. Cam and
Frank Cavannugh were in search of the
missing man. A few hundred yards
above the residence of John Williams, in
Old Woman's guIch, they passed an aban-
doned tunnel At the suggestion OF
one to search the place with the possibil-
ity of finding the object of their search,
with lighted candle they entered. eau
tiously they grouped their way into the
tunnel, when suddenly they found them
selves on the brink of shaft. Peerlng
over the edge with their lighted candle
they could see no bottom. They called
out, but no answer came. Listening,
they heard a sound as Of some one
breathing heavily. Again they called
and an answer came. Assistance was
then called, and by rope Cavanaugh
was lowered to the bottom of the hole,
where lay Tom Ryan. Hello, Tom,
said Cavanaugh. Hello" answered
Tom, 'have you como to stop to this
hotel, tool l have been very badly
treated here.n On being asked how he
was. he replied that he was all right.
The man was out of his head, but when
told that he had better come out while
ropes were beng put about him to hoist
him up, he agreed, but was unable to
stand without assistance. He was
brought up and cared for. He had been
W thout food or drink for six days. The
tunnel into which he had wandered, by
actual measurement was 12j feet in
length, at the end of which was the shaft,
viii, h measured thirty-fve feet, and
down which the man plunged. Upon
examination he was found to be consid-
erablv bruised on the sides, with con-
fusion in the back of the head at the base
of the skull.
At last accounts he was improving.
About twenty-five years ago man by
the name of George Bush fell into the
same shaft, but was fortunate enough TO
End an old shovel at the bottom with
which he dug footholes in the soft lava
and got out. But since then the shaft
has cayed in considerably at the top,
thus becoming too wide to straddle it.
1t was only by mere chance that Ryan
was found. -M1kelumms HUI Chronicle.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
II Is the last step that costs.

It is the last step that costs.
Never put a gift cigar in the mouth
A man is known by the dog he keeps.
Never press favor where it seems IN
desired.
Never intrude i'll health, pains, losses
or misfortunes.
Never unavoidably wound the feelings
of human being.
A man may wear epaulets and be only
a drummer in the band.
Providence always provides a shorn
lamb for the wind to blow upon.
Love labor; for if thou dost not want
it for food, thou mayst for physic.
Injuries are forgiven only in their
ceasing to be such, and then, what is
there to forgivel
There is a transcendent power in ex-
ample. We reform others unconsciously
whom we walk uprightly.
Selfshness mars the loveliest actions
it stains the fairest beauty; it dims the
brightest lustre; it blotches the most
muniticent charity.
The golden beams of truth and the
silken cords of love, twisted together,
will draw men on with sweet violence
whether they will or not.
Prosperity is not the only state and
course of things among mankind. Only
very few prosper until they have pur-
chased prosperity by very severe and
long continued effort and suffering.
Always give precedence to elders,
visitors and superiars. Offer them the
best seat at the table, the best place by
the fire and the first of everything. Go
farther than mere form and see that they
are comfortable and happy.

Novel Mode of Keeping Fish Fresh.


On the river front of the Fulton
Market little Offices are portioned off for
the use of the marketmen. Visitors to
these offices, should they happen to look
out on the river water between the piers
enclosing the slips in the rear OF the
market, will be puzzled at the scene that
greets them. A score or more of small
Floops or schooners lie stones throw
distant from the river front, and between
them and the rear of the market are
dozens OF queer-looking contrivances,
something like big tomato crates, SO
submerged in the wafer as to only have
their tops projecting above the surface;
If these crates or boxes are watched
signs of life will be seen within them
Close inspection will reveal the fact that
most of these crates are hlled with
Holsters, green turtles, ocean cod, sea
bass or other denizens of the deep.
The crates are designed to keep certain
kinds of fish alive until they are wanted
for the market. The average crate, or
"car." as il is technically termed, Is
about eighteen feet long by fourteen
wide and about five feet deep. 1t IS
made of slate, nailed to a framework
and placed so close together as to prevent
the escape of the FISH imprisoned within,
but at the same time sufficiently apart to
hermit a free circulation of river water
through the sides. There are scores Of
these cars moored in the slip in close
proximity to one another.
The frame of which they are con
structed is very buoyant and the Gears"
are used by the marketmen as sort of
pontoon bridge from their stalls to the
fishing vessels Ladders are suspended
from the rear Of the market stalls, aud
the marketman can Chamber down to the
foath underneath, run over the 'carsn
TO his smack in the slip and the back
again, up the ladder, and in his Office in
few minutes time.
Several of these smaeks may be seen
In the slip at any time when the river is
navigable. They are for the most part
small affairs, ranging from ~ to 70 tons
burden, and are worth from $3.50 to
$1,000 or $4,000. The feet numbers about
eighty sloops and schooners, the halibut
boats being schooner-rigged and the
larger number of the others being sloops.
Most of them are owned by commission
fish dealers, though some belong to their
captains. -Neo York Sun.
