The new Dress Goods.

The new Dress Goods.
 They look down from fixture tops, disport themselves on counter ends; they smile, all most laugh at you as they say "We are here"
 They speak with a voice which is not heard, but every woman listens, every dry-goods man is alert. With bated breath he pauses to, hear what his styles say to the ladies, and each one of the latter listens for Fashions edict from beyond the sea. Listen!
 Dresses made fuller thsn in the spring. the tend out sheaf shape will take the place of the perfectly plain skirt, which is passing away. drapery of skirts being frequently brought up into on the shoulders but quite tight from elbow to waist The materials that find favor are many.
 
 Stripe and check cheyiots
 Rough Scotch mixtures
 Stripe diagonas
 Valesco cords
 Bourette effects
 But Plaids are all the go. Plaids in rough goods, Plaids in smooth; Plaids on serges, Plaids on cheviots, Plaids on cameps-hair effects, Plaids for combination - Plaids every where.
 The Clan Tartan Plaids of the several Stuarts, Mcleod, Ferguson, Robertson, Cameron, Gordon, Prince Charles, Ed ward, ,McNeill,a ,and others. Like Silas Wegg, you drop into poetry as you look at them. The "silken plaid" of Ellen Douglass, the Lady of the Lake, flutters before you, or you fancy the pipers piping "The Campbells are Coming" at the relief of Lucknow. Strange beauty in the Tartans, and they never fail to suggest the romance and reality which have made the proud owners of the plaids great factors in liter ature, in history, in progress.

The sun upon the third Sunday in June had gold tinged natures sweetest garb. I have never witnessed 8 more perfect dawn. And it was the beauty of that morning that caused Ivan to in- vite Irene and me to take run over the Palisades. Ivan had been making day of it every Sabbath for month past, and his descriptions of the scenes had so awakened us to the anticipation of @ jolly outing that Irene and gladly con- sented to go.
 Ten o'clock found us high upon the cliffs overlooking the grand old Hudson.
 It must have been an hour past mid day when a cloud, g mere dot, appeared like freckle upon the face of the sun. A nervous breeze sprang up. more ac- tive than the calm, flaming wind of the morning. The cloud cast shadow upon the treetop, and for moment its limbs formed the outlines of 8 double cross upon the white cloth beneath our little banquet. started as one out of dream and looked at Ivan. My face must have been as colorless as the spread, for he asked if were ill.

 He seemed not to understand.
 ''It is only shadow" he said.

 He laughed outright, called me fool ish woman and told me that must not cling to superstitions.
 "A strange trait, that, with the Swe- oI, 1,1 by signs. Why, upon my word, Cesca, if you go on like this you will be telling us that you see some of those funny Nt- tie men popping out of the rocks wonder, akin to those that your Swedish peasants declare dwell in the forest. And while I think about it, Rip Van Wrinkles little gnomes did use to play at tenpins not far up the river-over in Sleepy Hollow, you know" he tested.
 He had no sooner spoken than huge, thick cloud flung it's black mantel over the face of the sun. The wind arose, higher, madder, faster. The waters of the Hudson rose and pranced and stood mp right. A great, roaring noise of threat and chaos filled the air, deafening in its force. The waters below dashed and foamed. Small sails were picked up, tossed and hurled shoreward
 The outing parties made for the shel- ter of cafes and the village near by. Confusion reigned. The sky grew dark black. Tie imps of evil seemed to rise out of the very earth beneath sour feet. Agents of fury and warning dam gled from the sky. A brilliant fash of lightning crossed the scene. quickly followed by crash of thunder. I chung to Irene, who was quaking with fright. The flash had told me that Ivan was deathly pale.
 'Too late to move nowl'' was all that he could say.

THE LANDLORD PROTECTED. John R. Rogers tells a good story of the way in which hotel proprietor in Edinburgh, Scotland, avoids losses to himself through the careleesness of his subordinates Mr. Rogers and his wife, Miss Minnie Palmer, were at the hotel for month, and when the bill was presented, Mir. Rogers noticed that he had been charged with bottle of wine of brand he had never used. More over, he had no recollection of having or dered any article of the kind on the date specified. He complained of the over charge to the proprietor, who blandly re- marked:
 "That's all right, MT. Rogers I'll take it off. You see, the girl who got that bot tie of wine from the cellar forgot to whom 1t had been served, so charged it against every guest Tn the house. All who didn't have it will kick, and the one who did will pay, see ?"
 "Well, but aren't you afraid that some one who didn't have 1t will pay, too?" Mir. Rogers asked. "No." was the reply, "I'm afraid they won't.''
 Thirteen guests each paid for that bot tie of wine. Harper's Bazaar: "Charles and George havelboth proposed to me. I don't know l which to take" "Is George rich? ?' "No. He has $500 year."

 ScrOfulR all his Life.

I consider my cure by s. s. 5. one of the most wonderful on record. I had the worst type of Scrofula from my infancy until was 22 years of age. My whole young life was embittered and made miserable by the loath- some disease. not only suffered from the Scrofula, but was so marked that l was ashamed to associate with, and was avoided by, my playmates and fellow workmen. I tried every known patent medicine, and was first and last attended by more than dozen reputable physicians, but, in spite of all, the disease continued to grow worse. About four years ago friend from Pittsburg advised me to take s. s. s., which did, and after taking seven bottles I was cured sound and we'll. The old skin peeled off and was replaced by 8 new skin, as smooth and free from blemish as any person. I have had no return or symp- tom of the disease.

GLAD TO MEET HIM.
"A ST. Louis Millionairc's Warm Reception

> "A OF Louis MfllfOnairc'6 warm reception
ofthe Genial Bunco Man.
.S A recent experience of Gilos Il. Filley,
the millionaire iron manufactures, was
told by ono of his friends at the South
ern to the amusement of the
company. 1t will bo appreciated
by most of tho many mon, young
and old, who have shaken hands with
Mr.. Filloy. There is great deal of in
dividuality in his handshake, especially
when he is in hurry and when tho per-
son whose hand he holds shows any en-
thusiasm in tho outset. He has four
horsepower muscles in his right hand,
and by grasp which seoms to him no
more than an expression of sincerity in
the act ho makes sensitive person
change color several times, while his
hand and arm twitch with pain. When
he takes the hand OF young man who
thinks he has something of grip him
self, the slender, bony hand of the iron
merchant closes with something of its
real power Tho enthusiastic young
man begs off every time before that
power is half exhibited. There is not
another such grip in the country. Mr..
Filley is more than seventy years old,
but his hand is stronger than it was
thirty years ago. He wears his white
hair rather long, and his form is slight
ly bent He is small man, with mild
blue eyes, and his dress is always plain.
A few days ago he got off the train at
Denver, and, with valise in hand, start
ed uptown on foot The young bunco-
steerer was on guard, and Mr.. Filley i'm
pressed him as a very promising subject
from the country. He approached the
venerable iron manufacturer with all
the smiling amiability of the successful
steerer and with the familiarity of
long acquaintance. He bowed low and
Mr.. Filley grasped his extended hand
rs the steerer exclaimed dclightedly,
''my fathers old friend, Mr.. johnson, of
-; Pm delighted to see you
"Well, I'm glad to sec YOU" replied
Mr.. Filley with a pleasant smile and n
look that betrayed nothing except pleas
ure at the meeting.
''You don't know how glad l am to
see you," replied tho young man.
"And you don't know how glad I am
to SEQ you," returned Mr.. Fillcy his
eyes flashing with satisfaction.
I'm always" began the young
man. but by that time tho grip of his
fathers old friend" which had been
tightening gradually, had become re-
markablo, and he drew back with, but

''Ycs, but I'm SO glad to SEQ you,"
broke in Mr.. Filley rs he set down his
valise to show that he was not in hur-
~.
"But you're crushing began tho
young man.
'But you don't know how glad I am to
see you," reioined Mr. Filloy.
BY that time the young man saw that
his fathers old friend" understood
his game and he was tying himself in
knot in his effort to get away. Mr.. Fill
ley kept on till he brought tears in tho
young mans eyes, and as he released
him added: Young man, I'm glad to
see you, but don't take mo for Mir. John
