Evening Costumes for children.
MotheIs and guardians are often sorely
psFpie zsd kEen called upon ~ the exigen-
cies Of q wedding, children's dance or 9
birthday party, TO select fitting costumes for
their little boys or girls.
Plush and velvet are materials much en-
ployed, with occasionally an admixture Of
silk. A pretty suit treated in this way for a
child from to years old is Of green plush
and light blue silk, the tones admirably
blended It was made with full knicker-
bockers, and zouave jacket over full silk
blouse, with broad pleat down the CENTER
and ending in wide sash, which goes round
the waist and falls at the side in two fringed
ends
The plush sleeves are made sufficiently
short to show full silk sleeve below, set in
wristband, and large turn down collar Of
the silk is laid outside the jacket, giving q
bright, light appearance, well suited to a
young boy. For little older lad there is
suit of plush, made with light breeches, fas-
tened at the knee; silk waistcoat Of lighter
shade, secured with steel buttons; the all
around jacket lined with the same, and turn
ing back on either side to show this lining.
A Norfolk jacket made in plush, with the
band low down on the waist, fastened with
metal clasp, is new idea, and has breeches
to correspond This can be made in velveteen,
in black, brown, blue or red. Sailor suits
are also made in plush or velveteen, trimmed
with gold BRAID and have silk and gold
cord round the neck. These sailor suits are
worn at juvenile parties and do well for fancy
balls, as well as for ordinary juvenile dances,
which is an advantage shared by the favorite
costume Of Lord Fauntleroy.
In the annexed cut b shown an appropriate
evening costume for boy known as the
cavalier suit It is of black velvet; the
sash is Of MORE ribbon. A guipure lace col
lar and pulled shirt are accessories to this
handsome and effective suit

Tea gowns which If possible are more pop
ular than ever, are garments that admit Of
great originality. Quite new in idea is a
vieux rose thick silk, with cream and green
pompadour stripes; the back hangs full and
plain, save for two jellybag pleats at the
back Of the waist. The bodice Is most pict-
uresque, having large wired Elizabethan
frill Of lace starting from the side revers
The front is entirely composed of soft cream
Sicilienne, which falls in full unbroken folds
from neck to feet, kept in their place by q
loosely knotted girdle Of the same, ending in
bows Of ribbon.
Vieux rose is favorite tone for tea gowns,
where vivid contrasts are considered in good
taste. One, in pompadour silk Of that tint,
was trimmed with embroidered faint yellow
crepe de chine, which appeared in the front
and formed the lower portion Of the sleeves.
The collar and sleeves were made high.
In the cut here given is represented tea
gown in black velvet, which is decidedly
quiet and stately affair. The full front Of
crepe de chine Is embroidered in gold and
gray. The zouave fronts and train are Of
black velvet. rB eFsss

and found that he was badly injured
in the back, head and face. His
upper lip from near the left corner
of his mouth was cut through, the
wound extending to just under the

The Chamber of Torture

Is the apartment to which the
unhappy sufferer from infammatory
rheumatism is confined. If, ere the
crisis of pain is reached, that fine
preventive, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, is used by persons of rheu-
matte tendency, much unnecessary
suffering is avoided. Nervines, ano
dynes and sedatives, while having
none but specific effect, are yet
very desirable at times. Yet can
they produce no lasting effect upon
rheumatism, because they have no
power to eliminate from the blood
the rheumatic virus. Hostetter S
Stomach Bitters does this, and checks
at the outset a disease which, if al
lowed to gain Roadway, it is next to
impossible to dislodge or to do more
than relieve. Rheumatism, it should
be remembered, is a disease with a
fatal tendency from its proneness to
attack the heart. A resort to the
Bitters should, therefore, be prompt
Dyspepsia, kidney complaint, malaria
and nervousness are relieved by it.

we could, though / do not think
much of railroad depot as place

that we could come on to Snyder's
Station in the evening. But at
Springfield, l saw my brother wait

we were sailing over the road at a

walk when hitchcd up, but go in a
trot. So the nine miles drive from

We are fourteen miles from Day

| saw about 40 blind soldiers come

The Home is lovely place, but yet
they get tired of staying there. One

He Returns His Thanks.

JONES RIDGE, Oct. 26.-Rev. AID.
Perry preached his iniatory sermon
at Fletcher last Sunday to large
and attentive congregation. He is
an able preacher. Rev Clemmer
Warman and family were present.
They have been visiting his father,
Mr.. James Warman, for several DAYS.
We noticed several persons present
from distance, among whom we're:
Marcellus Stewart and lady, James
Farrell, Fred. Ryland and Charles
Shafer.
The prayer meeting at Calvary
was well attended last Sunday night.
Phineas Shafer conducted it. w. F.
Holt, formerly of this place, but now
of Terra Alta, addressed the audi
ence.
Your correspondent returns his
sincere thanks to Jesse Jones, of
Sadler's Ridge, for the loan of his
horse two days this week. Mounted
on this excellent animal we made a
flying trip through Morgan and
Clinton districts and Valley district
of Preston county. We called a few
minutes of Ezekiel Shay, who has
been quite poorly, but is slowly re-
covering. He and his excellent
daughter Miss Mary, are very agree
able and entertaining
We return our thanks to Mrs. AL
fred Cobun, for favors shown during
our short call at their residence.
We and our horse partook OF some
refreshments at the aospitable resi-
dence of Ben. G. Dorsey, jr. After q
rest of two hours, we again mounted
our steed and rode to Reedsville.
Here we secured the baggage left
over a week ago and hied away to
the house of Lucian Parks, where we
were bountifully entertained by him
and his excellent lady. Here we en-
joyed "a feast of reason and flow
of soul" We were 10th to leave
such pleasant place next morning,
but duty called, SO mounting our
steed we turned toward home.
On reaching Masontown we called
on several of our old friends-but
our time was too short to permit us
to linger, so we FASTENED on until we
reached Fairchance school house.
We forget its modern name). We
called for dinner and feed at Mr.
Mollisee's, ard our wants were
beautifully supplied. Mr.. Mollisee
is very pleasant and agreeable gen
tleman. Here we met Mr.. VIM. Sell
by, father of Rev. James Selby. who
is cheerful and entertaining gen
tleman. The company was good but
time was precious, so mounting our
noble steed once more we struck for
Ices ferry. Crossing here we has
tened on through a drizzling rain
until we reached James Majors
where we borrowed an overcoat and
pressed on to Mr.. Jones and return
ed his horse, and sought the quiet
retreat known as Jones Ridge

Bright's Disease Fastens Itself lncura-
bly, Upon the Prince Of Wales.
London Cable to N. Y. Times

A<ohuoh NabAc W ~. l.. ltthto.
At the great gathering in Athens
this coming fortnight, where more
royalties will be gathered together
than have been seen since the burial
of the old Kaiser, there will be at
least one family which will conceal
deep sadness under the conventional
smiles. | am assured on exceptional
authority that the Prince Of Wales
has been warned by his physicians
that he has Bright's disease ineura-
bly, fastened upon him, and that the
extension of his trip to Egypt, which
was not originally intended, was at
the same time recommended by
these advisers as a diversion which
might assist to keep his mind from
dangerous gloom. 1t is believed
that the Princess and the rest of the
Royal family have been informed rs
to the state of the Princes health.
There seems to be no ground for i'm
mediate apprehensions, but my in
formant says the chances are felt to
be against his living through next
year The Queen has been thrown
into great dependency by the It'd
ings, and is living more secluded
life than ever For the moment,
however, her bodily health is better
than for some years previous, and
there has been no recent recurrence
of those strange fits of obstinate
passion which periodically seized
her after the Prince Consort's death,
and which two or three years ago
made her intimates seriously DIES
pair of her reason. She is devoting
more time to State affairs and to
routine work than customary and
gives her evenings now almost en-
tirely to listening to solemn music.
Her mind is severely free from il
lusions about the intellectual abili-
ties of her grandson and her even
tual heir, Albert Victor, and there
is a curious story afioat in semi
court circles that she is opposed to
his marrying at all, but DESTROYS
that the Royal line be carried for
ward through his brother George.
What value this rumor has | know
not, but it is certain that the entire
Royal family is deeply disturbed
over the whole question of the sue
cession. Both of the Princes sons
are to be raised to the Peerage as
Dukes, probably as York and Kent,
during the winter, and in the com
ments which will be passed there
will doubtless appear the first gen
eral recognition of the fact that the
Prince of Wales himself expects new
er to sit on the English Throne.

The Wherein We Fail.

MI. T. B. Terry delivered an adj
dress on this subject at several insti-
tutes last winter. 1t was admirable,
and ought to have wider dissemina
ton than it has had. / took notes
of it, and give the following sum-
mary:
The three particular points men
ton, in which the farmers fail, were
~ in personal appearance when as
sociating with others and when off
duty; (2) in keeping up the appear
ance of the farm; (3) in the treat
ment of our wives and families.
Why need we be so attired, when
associating with other men, that any
one can at glance pick us out for
farmers2 Why can't we dress as
other business men when we go into
town on business or meet together
for consultation or the transaction
of business? We ought to have a
good business suit of clothes and get
inside of it often enough to feel COM
Portable there. To be dressed like
other men goes a great way toward
securing respect from others. OF
course, some one will say that
"clothes don't make the man." but
it is nevertheless true that they
nightly improve his appearance af-
ter he is made. There is no reason
why farmers dress, when associa-
ting with other men, should be a
badge by which his calling may be
known. This does not apply SO much
to the farmers wives and daughters,
for they, as rule, are much better
dressed than the men. But how
often has the wife of some good farm
er been made to blush from shame at
the dress of the husband beside her,
at some public gathering, or on some
business in the city? How often has
she wished that "John wouldn't go
looking SOP 1t is duty that we
owe to the women of our households,
that our personal appearance upon
all occasions should be such as they
may not be ashamed of.
Concerning the appearance of the
farm, and especially about the house
and barnyard, much might be said.
No doubt we do not see how badly
things look, but others do. Neglect
in one thing begets neglect in others,
and shiftlessness in matters of ap-
pearance in the house fortells shift
lessness in matters of practice upon
the farm. When dealer comes to
negotiate for stock or farm produce,
he sees these things and is pretty
certain to find carelessness in your
transactions by which he may get
the advantage of you. 1t is pretty
sure to pay financially, besides the
pleasure derived in having things
neat about home, and having things
neat and orderly goes q great way
toward making home Of the place
in which one lives. A ell-kept
