HELPING THE HEATHEN.


How Little Man Raised Money to Send
Tracts to Africa.
He was brisk little man with twink
ling eyes, and as he stepped into the Of
flee of the hotel, wherein about twenty
of us were Longing and smoking, he
cheerily called out:
Now gentlemen, want your atten-
ton for a moment You have all heard
of Africa? Itlsa country of heathens.
The niger in his natural state is bad,
bad man. He must he improved moral
ly and religiously. am interested in
improving him"
He took watch from his handbag
and, holding the face against his hand,
| :ontinued:
"New, then you see this watch? 1t is
not going. The hands are set to GER
tain figure. The man who guesses near
est to that figure gets the watch. 1t is
fifty cents per guess, and everything
over and above expenses goes straight
to the heathon of Africa.
"IIow do we know it will?" inquired a
| doubling Thomas.
because | shall leave the sum with
the landlord, to be handed to any local
preacher he elects"
Eighteen of us at once laid down our
"halves" and recorded our guesses, and
when the last one was in the little man
held up the watch and announced the
winner. Then he continued:
Gentlemen, that watch cost $3.50 at
wholesale. have received SO. There
appears to bea balance of $500 in favor
of the dusky heather who ache for relig-
| ious comfort; but let us see. My rail
road fare was S4 90; dinner and supper,

billiards, 40 cents, and cigar, 10 cents,

WHIMS OF FASHION.
Hints and Suggestions Regarding Foreign
and American Styles.


Festooned strings of cut jet beads
make almost entire bonnets in toQue
shapes.
Uncut velvet in the piece and in rib
bons is especially fashionable for black
bonnets
Steel passementerie on black dresses
is in alliance with black and white de-
signs that are so prevalent, and will be
great deal used.
Among late millinery importations are
black velvet sailor hats, with Prince
of Wales cluster of black ostrich plumes
set up in front
Tho skirts, as worn at present have,
most of them, very deep gathers in
back, with only few plaits at the
sides, and some slight drapery on the
front.
Velvet sleeves in silk and wool gowns
are still fashionable, but the velvet
half-sleeve, that is, the close lower part
of velvet, while the full upper part is
of the dress material, is moro novel
than the entire sleeve of velvet
Black hats will be worn with almost
any of the now gowns, as most of them
have black trimmings. Black with gold
is the combination of the season, and
black with orange and Spanish yellow
velvet is most generally becoming.
The pretty little coachman or CarricB
capes will be worn this season, only
made deeper with shoulder forms and
usually Medici's collars which are as
universally becoming for slim figures.
Plaids should be made up on the bias
as thus the rather stiff effect is avoided.
Slender figures look we'll in them and
stouter ones look more slender with the
| plaid cut crosswise.
The exceedingly fiat appearance OF
| the skirts as natural reaction from the
enormous bustles, is, in its place, Civ.
ing way to very small bouffante effect
in the back made by one ten-inch reed
run in under the gathers. This is really
great improvement in the hang of the
skirt and probably will be maintained
throughout fall and winter. There are
a few small crinoline bustles for those
