The Monarch Of Dressmakers.

Few American women who have visited
Europe are unfamiliar with the entresol
on the Avenue de rOpera in which
Worth, the monarch of dressmakers,
holds his court. Worth was originally
a shopman in a large London dry goods
store. He was promoted from the counter
to become buyer for the firm by which
he was employed. In that capacity he
visited Paris, and their conceived the
idea OF the dressmaking business which
has made his name as familiar to womGl
as that of Bismarck or Gladstone is to
the world at large.
The portrait herewith is reproduced
from the Illustrated American, which
obtained from Worth the only photo
graph of himself that he ever consented
to have published. 1t shows him in the
costume in which he usually receives his
subiects-thc devotees of fashion--who
will at once recognize the peculiar velvet
cap, somewhat like loose Tam O
Shanter, and the velvet-face dressing
gown which he effects.
Worth's manner is autocratic. He
fully appreciates the fact that lie has
achieved greatness. He lives in pretty
villa buried in flowers, at Vile dAYray,

mans Nat'onal Publishing Association. The
temple will be thirteen stories high, and win
be built of red granite and red pressed brick.
The cost will be about 81, 100000 and the
money has already been raised by stock and
bonds, subscribed by friends of the cause
The building will front 100 feet on Monroa|
street and ninety-six on La Sale. The archt
lecture is modern in design. with enough OF q
Gothic touch here ard there to give sug.
gestion of church architecture. Within e
short time we have entirely changed the.
general plan Of the building. Instead Of
double entrance at the corner, we will have
q main entrance on La Sale street. just In
side this entrance the eight elevators will be
arranged in semicircle. Tho entrance to
Willard Hall. our assembly room, will be ou
Monroe street. This assembly room will be
our pride, and, although it will accommo-
date only 700 people, We intend that it shall
be to temperance reform what the Westmi1-

we will preserve books OF record aud all who
have assisted us in building the temple viii
have their names engraved on the marble
tablets of the walls. The Woman's Christian

fifth floor. The rest Of the building will be
fitted up for banks and Offices. We expect
to get rental of $3.50, ,OOO year. The cornet

A quick bath and hard rub will work

stitnulants in the process, first that of

with al old-fashioncd crash towel, not

they arc no good-but a rough crash

without that the bath will prove hurt

the experiment took the operator right
back to the door, quite forty feet distant

something like this: "Let her raise her

his lips nor moved from the spot, but he

To prove the soundness of the girls

through the Aeshy part of the upper arm
so that the point struck out an inch. She

A Gallant Officer.

In the Nile campaign of 1889 Sierra
was the scene of an act of great personal
bravery on the part Of an English officer
which it is a pleasure to record. 1t will
we'll explain the kind of warfare they
were engaged in. Bimbashi Judge, OF
the Thirteenth Battalion, had been or
dered to land at Sierra village with fifty
men, as a strong party OF dervishes
threatened to attack there. He landed
his men, and, taking twelve of them
with him, he proceeded on foot to the
western side of the village to see if there
was any sign of the enemy. Suddenly
number of the enemy's cavalry appeared
from behind the sand hills. The men
with him precipitately fell back and left
him. Calling on them to stand, he fell
back slowly. There were seven dervish
horsemen altogether. Instead of charg-
ing down on him in body and dispatch
ing him, they tried to deliberately sur
round him. This enabled him to use his
revolver and disable three of them as
they closed round him. By this time the
fourth man, an Emir, was on him.
Judge, finding that his sword had no ef-
feet on the thick, padded coat and turban
of the Emir, and being q very tall and
powerful man himself, as last desperate
resort seized the man by the collar, tore
him from his horse and ran his sword
through him. Just then all his men
came up and dispatched the remainder
of the enemy. The twelve men, who
had suddenly lost their presence of mind
and deserted him, on their return to their
regiment went up to their commanding
officer and reported the matter.-BlaeA-
