Much Virtue in Gulf Water.

Probably you never heard of it before,
but the water of the Gulf stream is con-
fidently believed by certain old people on
Staten Island to be a sovereign remedy
for disorders Of the stomach. They drink
half glassful after each meal, smack
their lips, and in about three days they
get well. So they say. So pilots and
other seafaring men who get out to the
Gulf stream are frequently importuned
to bring in jugs of the gulf water for
the invalids. There is saloon keeper
down there whose faith in this sort of
thing is unlimited, and he has been be-
sieging for about three years a certain
pilot of his acquaintance to bring him in
some of the water. But the pilot always
forgot.
The other day, however, he tickled the
old man almost to death by bringing
him three jugs of the precious liquid.
The saloon keeper began to brace up at
once, and three days later he chased tie
pilot half way around the island to over
whelm him with gratitude.
so it did you good, did it," says the
pilot.
Good" says the old man. "Why,
bless you, my boy, it has added ten years
to my life. 1 feel like youngster again.
I'll bet l can beat you in foot race
right here"
And the pilot did not smile nor jibe
nor jeer. But when the flood tide had
been running about an hour that even
ing ne went softly down to the end of
Stapleton pier, drew out tin bucket
and dipped mp about a gallon of the
hmpid stream. And the next morning
the saloon keeper 'vcs overjoyed to get
two more jugs OF Gulf stream water
from his thoughtful friend
Its kind Of shabby trick" says the
pilot apologetically, but as long as
there are buckets handy around Staple
ton / guess Uncle Jos1 needn't go with
out Gulf stream water. New York

New WOOlon Fabrics.

The new patterns and new fabrics for the
coming season do not as yet point to any
novel departure. Checks and stripes will
both be worn, the checks large and the
stripes irregular. One Of the novelties is
the checks and stripes with an astrakhan
effect introduced, black and fleecy. A new
stuff called drap St. Petersburg has a
check formed with square, coarse stripes
The horizontal and perpendicular stripes
are frequently of totally different color,
and in contrast to the ground. One of the
most delightfully."- soft stutfs of the year is
pure, self colOred vicuna, made in over
dozen shades. Serge is always in fashion,
and nearly every one has one serge dress
at least in her wardrobe: the novelty is
the Sergine Raye, or striped serge, with
white and brown stripes on the blue
ground, the colorings varying according to
taste. A new fabric Is pole" 1t is
checked and striped, and the patterns diff
fer greatly. Some of the tailor Uweeds are
close and fine as delaine, only thicker, and
others as rough and coarse as Bath blank
citing.

signs of improvement, and then he went
down and introduced himself to the

county commissioners in getting the tax

borrowing $500 on the promise of good

An Item for the Masculine Sex.

1t has been decided by the Association of
Master Tailors of Paris and Lyons that the
masculine sex is TO lay aside its dark gar
ments, and TO appear henceforth clothed in
lively colors. Coats are to be made in
bright shades, and there are to be gorgeous
waistcoats, lace jabots and knee breeches
and stockings to match. A ball will be
given in Paris and Lyons during the course
of the winter to inaugurate this revival of
elegant clothes for men. Paris DEGREES
the fashions for women, but from London
comes the word that decides those for men,
and London has not yet spoken in favor of
many colored coats and knee breeches.
