and opinion. Harrison's head is now

Latest Fashion Notes.

Now evening toilets for debutantes are of
soft Sicilienne silk, in pink, magnolia, opal
blue, and water green, combined with silk
Ilsse exquisitely embroidered.
Persian-fgured broeades on cream-whte
grounds will be of great use the coming gay
season in the creation of elegant toilets in
POmpadour and directoire styles.
The garnitures this season designed either
for wrap or dress decoration were never more
elegant, varied or handsomely applied. The
newly imported black garnitures are marvels
of richness, taste and beauty; these in fringes
pendant ornaments, Gothic panels, points, and
arabesques, with gittering pendelOques and
balls depending therefrom.
The pretty new Toreador vests are made
wholly of embroidery 10 wear beneath the en-
pire jackets of velvet, accompanying stylish
home toilets. Ashes of rose or mahogany vel
vet waists have square short jacket fronts, with
a pink or pale primrose vest of embroidery so
thickly wrought that the cloth beneath il ia
nowhere visible. An empire green velvet
jacket has an old-rose Toreador vest. and one
OF black velvet has pale gold embroidery on its
full front.
A magnificent toilet sent TO America for a
wedding reception in Washington from west
end house in London, is made of royale armure

blending OF the various exquisite tints Of
violet. mauve, and palest lilac forming wiste-
ria and heliotrope sprays, on the ground of pale
gold shot with faintest rose. The petticoat is

A HooslER IN WONDERLAND.
The Peculiarities of the Air, Climate and
General Features of Colorado.

The Peculiarities of the Air, Climate and
General Features of Colorado.
Our Hoosier eyes have seen many
wonderful and curious things since COM
ing to this country Colorado, which is so
full OF the wonderful and curious.
But one of the most interesting things
we have seen has been the mirage. We
are on the great plains where so many
gold-hunters and emigrants persisted of
thirst, on their way from their eastern
homes to the far-famed gold mines of Cal
ifornia.
The country is so level and the air so
rarifed that you can see for miles in
every direction. This condition of coun-
try and air causes many mistakes in re-
gard to distances; for instance, you see an
object and think you are only very
little distance from it, when, on trying to
make a closer inspection of it, you will
often be obliged to travel many miles.
But to return to our subject-mirages
Some days the entire prairie is covered
here, there and everywhere with large and
small lakes and ponds. 1t is no unusual
thing to see a man apparently ploughing
in the middle of one of these immense
lakes, and, to make the deception more
perfect, you can see the shadows of him
self and team in the water; but if you go
toward these lakes or ponds, they dis
appear as If by magic.
You are not only deceived by the APP
pearance of water, but sometimes you can
see immense trees, rivaling in size the
giants of California, looming up in sight,
when you are perfectly aware that there
is not a tree within miles of you; but if
watch your trees long enough, you will
see them turn TO horses or cows
as you travel nearer to them.
The mirage not only transforms horses
and cows into trees, but it makes huge
giants of persons OF ordinary stature.
But the most wonderful freak OF the
mirage is bringing to view objects which
most of the time you cannot see at all.
For example, there is a swellin the ground
between two houses which are not ordin-
arily visible the one to the other at all
but the mirage brings its wonderful
powers TO bear on the house farthest east.
and anyone in the western house can see
their eastern neighbors and all their sur
rOundings.
To anyone from the East, new to such
scenes, il almost seems as if they were in
an enchanted land. And, indeed, this
wonderful state is almost an enchanted
land, with its gloriously balmy climate, its
beautiful sunrises and sunsets, grouping
the sky in harmonies of color perfectly
dazzling TO an artistic eve; and it seems
almost an impossibility that Italy should
rival this western wonderland in respect
of those things mentioned.

OF plain violet armure royale, with gold and
lilac arabesques as bordering at the hem. The
bodice is cut in pompadour STYLE and below
this is Russian half-vest of violet silk, which
folds over an inner vest OF point lace.
Buckles, clasps, slides and hooks in cut steel,
gold. silver, onyx, jet or pearl are used with
Tree hand this spring, both in millinery and in
the formation of stylish empire and directoire
costumes. Braids of silk, gold, silver and
soutache still highly popular as dress trim
mIngs; these put on in rows or crossing each
other in Grecian and other designs. Gallons
of every width are made use OF, and are found
in all the dark and neutral shades to match
the plain dress fabrics, or showing mixtures
and odd combinations in keeping with the
color schemes of the season.
There are at least twenty-five different and
distinct shades of green visible In the great
emporia of fashion this year, ranging from the
palest water tints 10 the deep moss and myrtle
shades, all the varying tones displayed in
nature being perfectly reproduced in art. Some
of the reseda or gray-green tints are very
lovely, and in soft China silks crepalines, veil
ings and silk muslins, present a charming APP
pearance. There is a growing taste and liking
for those once crude but now beautiful shades,
which certainly for cool summer wear have
much to commend them.

Col. Ingersoil's story.


"Pll tell you a story, boys" said Col Inger-
soil, while waiting for the Kerr jury TO come in
on Friday afternoon.
Col. Fellows, Lawyer Bird, Mr.. Kerr and the
reporters leaned forward expectantly.
During the gold days in California" contin-
ued the colonel sit was the law that the holder
of a claim should be liable to lose it if he let it
remain idle for ten days in succession. Well,
there was one fellow who had been working
faithfully, when ne fell sick and had to take to
his tent. Another fellow came along and
jumped his claim. The first man pleaded and
argued, but the other was not to be moved. So
when the first man recovered he sued the inter
lOper.
1.-THE case came up before the justice. He was
very sorry, he told the plaintiff, but the law
was absolute on the question: and the defend
ant could not be ousted. No sooner had he
finished than the plaintiff jumped up and hit
the defendant a singing blow behind the ear
The defendant fell over, and the plaintiff
jumped on him and began TO pummel him
soundly. The constable ran up aud was trying
to part the fighters when the judge arose, and
pounding on the desk, yelled to the constable !:

Coffee and Its Effect,

The great virtue of coffee is that it stimulates
and refreshes; these properties being due to
caffeine. IL also contains gum and sugar fat
acids, caseine, and wood-fber. Like tea, it
powerfully increases the respiration, but, I'M
like it, does not affect its depth. BY its use the

a high order. Carried TO excess, it produces
abnormal waleefulness, indigestion acidity,
heartburn, tremprs, debility, irfitahility of tenn
per, trembling, Irregular pulse, a kind of intox-
ication ending in. deliriVm asd great Injury to
the spinal functions. Unfortunately, there are
many coffee-tippiers who depend upon il as a
drunkard upon his dram. On the other hand,
coffee is Of sovereign efficacy in tiding over the
nervous system in emergencies.

Hopeful Imaginings.

Have not all, amid this petty strife,
Some pure ideal of a nobler life
That once seemed possible2 Did we not hear
The rustic of its wings, and feel it near,
Aye, just within our reach? And yet
We lost it, in this daily jar and fret,
And now live on, but in a vague regret.
Thank God, our place is kept, and it viii wait,
Ready for us to fill it, soon or late.
No star is ever lost we once have seen;
We always may be, what we might have been.
All good, thuggh only thought, has life and breath,
Gods life--and will be redeemed from death;
But sin, in its very nature, is of decay,
And one repentant tear will wash 1t all away
The hopes now lost, and in the far distance seem,
May be the real life, and this but the dream.

1t has been affirmed and reaffirmed with much
positiveness by the inside politicians" that
Steve Elkins was responsible for Mr.. Windows
selection as secretary of the treasury. The
fact is that the appointment wss due solely and
entirely to the persistent and persuasive efforts
of Senator John Sherman, who is under very
heavy obligation TO Mr.. Window for one or two
special favors rendered at the time Mr.. Window
was secretary of the treasury, particularly the
disposition which Mr.. Window made of the re-
port of the Pitney investigation, which showed
a..state of things by no means complimentary TO
MIR. Sherman, when that gentleman was secre-
tary of the treasury. That report never saw
the light of day. 1t was put under lock and
key by Mr.. Window, and to-day there is no
