too, serve to underscore lack OF freshness and

EIGHT HOUR DAY.
Its Compulsory Adoption Favored by
the Liverpool Tradesmen's Congress.
While Its Immediate Adoption by Parliament
is Improbable, the Vote Shows the
Tendency of the Times.
SHORT DAY MOVEMENT.

Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, Sept. 5.-The narrowness OF
the majority by which the Liverpool
tradesmen's congress adopted the prin-
ciples of compulsory limitation OF the
working day to eight hours shows the
movement has but slight probability of
resulting in parliamentary enactment.
Experience shows that in England 1t is
necessary for the working classes
to be practically unanimous IN
their desires before parliament
will grant the legislation demanded.
This has been the case II regard to
various workingmen g protective acts al
ready passed, and there is no reason to
believe it will prove otherwise in respect
of the eight hour question. Though the
action of the congress does not show that
the short day movement has reached a
stage of approximate success, yet it
SHOWS AN ADVANCE
n that direction, for even the slight ma
jority given Burns idea in the present
body would have been impossible few
years ago. The delegates to the congress
we're entertained by the Liverpool trades
council tonight at st. George hall,
where a supper and ball were given.
The week will close with an enormous
procession of workingmen tomorrow
night. 1t is expected that from 60, 900
to 20 200 will march. The next congress
will meet at Newcastle in 1891.
Before the British association for the
advancement of science, in session in
Leeds to-day, Professor Monroe read
paper on the probable effect of such
change IN the number of working hours
as favored by the Liverpool congress.
He made very ingenious argument in
support of the contention that shortening
of the working days would not give en-
ployment to any greater number of men
than before the change. An earnest de-
bate followed pro and con, but the
weight of opinion was found to be an
agreement with the views set forth in the
essay.

for evening are made up in baby fashion,
with the full waist and skirt in one, at
rachel to low necked yoke of guipure

the waist by belt ribbon. Black velvet
ribbon two inches wide is used for the
belt. 1t is sewed in point at the top of
the bust in front, then drawn under the
arms to meet at the waist line in the
middle of the back, where it crosses to
form belt around the waist, and is tied
in front with loops and ends. A silk slip
under this dress is cut in princess shape.

Children That Tease.
sunday-School Times.


1t is misfortune to a child to suppose
that teasing is essential to gaining point
that he ought to gain. A result of such
q view in his mind is that he looks not to
his parents wisdom and judgment, but
to his own positiveness and persistency as
the guide of his action in any moOted case
of personal conduct; not TO principles
which are disclosed to him by one who is
in authority, but to impulses which are
wholly born in his own bosom. Such u
view is inlmical to all wise methods of
thinking and doing on child s part.
And 1t is even more of misfortune to
the parent than to the child for child to
have the idea that the parents decision
is the result; of the child teasing rather
than that of the parents understanding
of what is right and best in given case.
No parent can have the truest respect of
q child while the child knows that he can
tease that parent into compliance with
the chlId's request contrary to the pa
rents real or supposed conviction. For
the child sake, therefore, and also for
the parents, every child ought to be
trained not to tease, and not to expect
any possible advantage from teasing.

families have taken back seats and will
tains some brown shades in new effects.
OF course not all the sixty-six eolors are
new, or even novel gradations of old
colors. There are, however, several
which are entirely new.
Entirely new shades are verveine,
medium heliotrope; bluet, strong but
somewhat light blue; dauphin, new
darkIsh reseda; maroQuin, ligh brown,
and triton, blush gray shade. Dattir
is the name of new color which is
cross between olive and sulphur yellow.
Heliotropes are represented in the color
card by eight shades, of which dshlia is
the darkest and perse the lightest;
salome is heliotrope with blush tinge.
The blue family has ten representatives,
of which the well known cell, or sky
blue is the lightest, and marine blue the
darkest. Bluet is expected TO become
very fashionable color, and libelule,
grayish blue, will also be much worn.
Few new shades are found among the
reds. The light coquelicot is already as
well known as the dark greuat. Rose
and aZalee are old favorItes. The two
old roses, tulipe and glaieul, are old
friends under new names. The reddish
browns, fauveIte and bouvreuil, are al
ready known. The only novelty Is pivo-
inc, shade between old and dark red,
which is pleasing but not striking. Ca
roube is very dark grenat.
So if the French soldiers knapsack
carries the legendary baton, the trunk Of
the American girl contains the possible
blue ribbon of the turf, to be won by her
in the race for fashionable distinction.
And her ambition meets with sympathy.
For when the professional beauty, after
due study of the 'Almanach de Go
thai and of the "British Peerage, -
leaves her home. her couquests are ap-
plauded, not only by her family, but by
whole cities, townships and states, who
have watched her preliminary canters,
and who invest not a little of their vani-
ty in her triumphs. The more sober and
valuable achievements of American
women as sculDtors, singers, artists, &C
tresses, lecturers and doctors are of
worldwide renown; for if America has
produced Charlotte Cushman, Harriet
Hosmer, Mary Anderson and Marie Van
Zandt, society IN both hemispheres has
fallen down and worshIpped them.

tached to the back which tied loosely under
the chin. The favorite material just at the
close of the season is black chip, which may be
trimmed with any shade ribbons and feathers to
suit the costume. There Is talk of long
walking dresses That is just long enough to
call for a hand to raise the skirts gracefully
from the ground; but the timorous- minded need
not fear revival of trailing robes in lieu OF
street sweepers. Walking boots and shoes are
altogether too elegant nowadays to be hidden
from sight, and it would hardly do to lift
trailing dress high enough to display them.

Referees for the Mistress.


There is one peculiar relic of feudalism
one might almost say barbarlsm-in
the custom of engaging servants, which
needs reform. 1t ia strange, TO say the
least of it, that the mistress should be
entitled to have q written and formal
character of the servant and that the
servant, to whom the situation is every
thing that is most important in life,
should have no formal opportunity given
her of juding of the situation, of hear
ing of the character of the household.
This, which common justice demands,
could be easily remedied without any ex-
ira machinery by the following plan:
Every mistress should choose referee,
or two referees, among her servants,
past or present, who have been with her
not less than two ears; she should give
the names and addresses of these two ref
erees to the servant whom she is inclined
to engage before she writes for her char
acter from her last mistress. 1 cannot
imagine any reasonable objection to this
plan. II carried largely into practice it
could become the test of any theory about
domestic service.
Mistresses could then gather statistics
and make concentrations as to the situa-
tions which were most highly recon-
mended and most sought after by the
best aud most competent servants. 1t
might also put spirit into the custom of
character giving, which is SAID by some
to be so formal. Personally, l have
never found it So 1t puts vast amount
of irresponsible power into the hands of
one fsllible human being; and, though 1
think it may rarely he abused, it adds
tremendously TO the unnecessary and
injurious dependence of servants Mrs.

"Mrs. Langtry - remarked q writer
in the Chicago Herald, twas discovered
by the artist Millsis. Here is version
of the discovery that l have never seen
in print IL seems that some sons of
England S nobility went to the Isle of
Jersey to hunt and fish, and incident
ally Mrs. Langtry made their trip very
pleasant. Upon returning to London
one of the scions of nobility more in graft
tude than from any appreciation or
knowledge of the beauty of the SOON to-
be professional, persuaded his mamma
to invite his island entertainer to London
as their guest. 1t was done. Mrs.
Langtry came, with the limited ward
robe that we have been told of SO often.
Among the very few dresses was the one
black silk jet and lace gown that is said
60 have been worn at every reception,
dinner and ball during he tbeauty's first
season. This inevitable black gown
showed to perfection the graceful curves
of the figure, and enhanced the purity OF
the exquisite complexion. The navel
Ious classical beauty of the wearer did
not dawn upon those Londoners, how
ever, until one evening at Il reception
given by the lady whom the then obscure
Jersey Lily was visiting, Millais, in bid
ding adieu to his hostess, said: Mad
am, you have goddess as your guest.
That was enough. London went wild
over her beauty. There is an exquisite
etching on sale in prominent art stores,

known, it is plainly evident that Mrs
Langtry was the model who perfected
