CAPITOL CHRISTMAS.
Gov. Merriam's Bounty Met by a
Handsome Testimonial.

Handsome Testimonial.
Everybody at the capitol looked happy
yesterday, from the governor down.
Pursuant to his usual custom his excel
lency secured hundred OF more of the
finest turkeys to be found. and yests.r-
day morning two heavy tables were
found to be loaded down with them,
and word was passed around that each
official and employe was Included
in the list of the recipients of tile
governors bounty. But this did
cot end the gift-givfug by any means;
for shortly before noon all the capitol
force was summoned together in the ex-
ecutive chamber. The governor was
invited to drap his work in his private
Office, and, OH joining the throug. was
surprised by Adjutant General Mullen's
making neat little speech, telling that
the capitol officials had awaited them
selves of a lOng-Ieoked-fOr opportu-
nifty, and desired to make him a
small present in recognition OF
the good feeling that had
always existed between them and the
chief executive of the state. The gen
eral then presented the governor witt,
two beautiful large bronze statues by
Rasseau, representing two ancient fish
ermen.
The governor, looking as bashful as
boy. soon summoned up courage to
respond and made one of his best
speeches, reciting the kindly relations
which have existed between tile capitol
officials during the past two years. His
speech WAS of the kind that make
people feel that after all there is some
thing beyond selfishness in this world.

FISH NET ovERsKIRTs.

Fish-net is novelty for overskirts,
reported as likely to be fashionable,
not in the original tanned twine which
smells so strong on sunny beaches when
the trawlers are laid idly by, but some-
thing similar in mesh and texture, made
of a material fit to be draped over a
rich silk. 1t is a freak of dress, for
which no occasion or cause can be
given; something similar to the hats of
rushes or hay, or dresses of toweling in
which ladies sometimes indulge so as
to be singular. There may be artifi-
cial seaweeds, she'll buttons, or trident
brooches to follow, and nobody knows
what other things nautical besides. But
fish.net is not new, for it was intro
duced few years ago, not salts facto-
rily; and there was at another time kim
dred sensation in twine trimmings, both
in natural and other colors, for flannel
and serge costumes. AS to that, net
fabrics are Of remarkable antiquity, not
merely to entrap "the scaly monsters
of the deep" but as an airy covering
for man and womankind. .-New York

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
TIE COMING COLOR.

The leading color of the coming sea-
SON will be violet. We shall not be
pinned down to one par ticular shade of
this trying color, however, as hello
tropes, lavenders and other light hues
will be worn. At the private view of
the old masters noticed several coats
and costumes of an aggressively violet
shade and few Of dull heliotrope
tint, and / was more than ever persuad-
ed that the color is not one which the
majority of women can wear with i'm
punity. The GRANT violet that is just
now to be seen about looks we'll against
nothing, but there are certain shades
that harmonic exquisitely with other
colors, and in which fair and delicate
ly complexioned women look charming.
But at the best it is a dangerous color
to affect, for, if it does not make the
wearer look leaden hued, it generally
clashes with the apparel of all one
comes in contact with, as we'll as with
the decoration of ones own and every
body clse's room. .-Lady's Pictorial.

The Hearth.Fire.

I sit and muse before the open fire
And watch the fairy flamelets dancein slee;
They wave their slender arms right merrily
And flaunt with mystic grace their bright
attire.
They seem to say to me, the sportive choir,
I'VE are the sunbeams, hidden in this tree
Long, long ago. 'Tis thou hast set us free.
With pantomime to please thee we desire" !"
ve tell me also, happy, winsome sprite,
That smiles and cheering words of bygone
days,
Soulsunshine, yet unheeded as our breath,
May come to us again in darkest nights
From mem'ry's treasure-house, and visions
raise
To warm and quicken faith that wavereth.

CHANGING NATURES WORK.

"Let the women beware how they 60
to cultivating the Titan red tints in
their hair" said hair dresser. ''It
can be done easily and without harm
to the hair, but therein lies the very
mischief of it. The Titan red hair
belongs just where nature has bestowed
it, and nowhere else. 1t goes with a
certain extremely delicate coloring in
skin and eyes. The skin is pink and
white-not the clear pink and white of
the golden blonde, but with touch of
warmer color underneath. The eyes
are oftenest of warm golden brown,
with dark brown setting, though they
may be hazel or gray.
snow imagine woman with black
eyes and the dark skin that belongs
with them, or with pale blue eyes aud q
muddy complexion, thatching her head
with the splendid Titan red. Upon
my soul, the effect would be about as
artistic and as correspondent to nature
as if she had stained her face bright
green and died her hair royal purple.
Nature doesn't msmatch col orings, and
if she gives woman brown hair she
gives her the tints of skin and the eyes
that go with that hair; and when wo-
man tries to change natures work, she
will only throw the whole scheme of
color out of harmony. / do not hesi :
tate to say that every woman who
changes her hair to the new shade will
look only the worse for it, and not the
better York Sun.

A ESPECIAL SALE.

Especial Sales eve feature of New
York CONNER cial life in the retail dry
goods line, and they contribute more to
woman's pleasure and caprice than any
other one phase of shopping experience.
Those who have never been to one have
missed heap of fun. In one of the
large uptown stores recently there was
''run" ON gloves. They were of
superior quality, and sold for As cents.
The sale started at 9 in the morning,
and directly there was a spirited scene
around that counter. Women pushed
one another away in their wild endeavor
to get pair of gloves. One gave IS
bill and clamored for her change. An
other held pair over the heads of the
crowd and endeavored to give her
money to one of the salesgirls. T5is
woman, after patiently waiting for q
time and seeing no chance of getting
up to the girl, quietly put tho gloves in
her muff and sauntered off. She had
bargain. After awhile the change from
the SIS was brought back. The salcs-
girl had by this time become ratified
with the confusion and rapidity with
which the gloves were being bought,
and handed the money to the wrong
woman, who put it in her purse and
walked away. The lady to whom the
money belonged, getting une asy at the
long delay, finally elbowed her way
through the crowd, demanding her
change, and creating no little excite
ment. The rush was so great that the
girls behind the counter grew
frantic, and began to cry.
The floor walker ordered the
sale closed for three hours, announcing
the time OF reopening. Then scene
of wild confusion was dispelled, and
the glove purchasers dispersed them
selves over the store and were soon
busted with other purchases. Three
hours later the glove sale began again,
only to find even a greater crowd
clamoring for covering for their hands
than in the morning. 1t continued
only thirty minutes, when it was again
stopped because the clerks could not
wait on the anxious customers. 1t was
never reopened, but the establishment,
all the same, got first class adver tise-
ment out of the attempt to sell dollar
and-a- half gloves for 45 cents. -Neso

SCHOOL GIRLS.

The average school girl rises only in
time to eat a hurried breakfast and
reach school at 8. The girls under
twelve, who are not tho ones to break
down, are not too dignified to romp at
recesses, and in that way they fill their
lungs with fresh air every day. Those
above twelve or thirteen rarely have a
breath of outside air from 8 till Q in the
afternoon. They eat their luncheons
curled up in heaps in com Portable COR
ners, if they can find them. They take
little exercise, except in few schools,
where they dance for few minutes. A
solitary lunch of cold or warmed
over" food on reaching home is fol-
lowed usually by an hour or two of
study instead of brisk walk or other
exercise.

Warm Milk a Cure For Consumption.

The fact that consumption can be
cured is daily becoming more and moro
impressed on the mind of the layman.
One of the simplest and best methods
of fighting this dread malady is the
warm-milk treatment, and while under
going it the patient is advised to go on
some farm, where he is sure to get it
fresh, and where, moreover, he can pass
his days in horseback riding. When
the entire treatment is undergone re-
covery from consumption would not
only be possible, but would very likely
occur, unless the lungs had been too
seriously diseased. An outdoor life in
pure air, good, wholesome food and
plenty of it are the surest cures for the
NAL ady, aud no one of these features is
more important than either Of the
others. y. Epensng Telegram.
