HOUSE ROBE. of mauVe and yellow
surah. But there are plenty of soft cot
ton fabrics in which such a toilet may be
prettily wrought out. In that sketch
and the ensuing one is illustrated the
latest dictum as to the mode of wearing
the hair. Tt is to the effect that the low
coil is regarded as far more elegant and
as likely to continue to be the accepted
style, but still the admission IS made that
the mode of wearing the hair high Will
not become passe for the reason that the
low coil calls for such a wealth Of hair to
produce q rich and elegant effect.
The evening dress herewith sketched is
made, IN the original from which I drew,
of lemon crepe de chine, embroidered all
over with artistically arranged sprays Of
Parma ViOlets and pale green leaves in
natural tints. The cOrsage is folded over
the bust and embroidered with viOlets to
match. Short sleeves are set in rather
high at the shoulder, and knOtted like
two corners of q handkerchief round the
upper arm, the flesh showing through.
Bows OF maUve satin and mauve satin
waistband complete this beautiful gown,
and it gave forth an exquisitelY faint
Odor of Violets, as though emitted by the
embroidered flowers.
Embroidered dresses are a spring prod
uct, and give three good examples of
needle-worked street toilets. The tailor
made girl is still extant, but she now
comes in embossed editions. This en-
belIishment of the severely plain cloth
toilets is welcome, if it means return to
femininity by those girls who have been
inclined toward mannishness. Why, a
Sorosis woman in New York has actually
been arguing that it is less fatiguing and
less dangerous to ride astride horse, and
she expresses q willingness to abiure the

York. Some months ago q tract of
land lying in the western suburbs Of
the city, embracing go acres, in which
she had an equity, was sold at masters
sale for about S675,OO0. An agent Of
the Grant Locomotive Works of Pater-
son, n. j., was the purchaser, and 1t is
designed to remove the great plant to
Chicago and locate it upon this tract.
Mrs. Green came to the conclusion
that the land was sold for less than its
real value, and accordingly instituted
suit to have the sale set aside. Mrs.
Green makes only occasional visits to
Chicago, and when she does she travels

According to the Boston Cultiodtor the
sealskin buffalo made by crossing pollcd
Aberdeen cattle on the wild stock, have
fine, glossy fur, as beautiful as that of
the seal, and much thicker. The hump
on the buffalo almost entirely disappears
on this cross, and with it the shaggy
name for which buffaloes have always
been noted. There are now twelve of
these sealed buffalo, and the cross promises
to become successful and valuable
breed. They lose their wild traits and
become so easily domesticated as are our
common cattle under like circumstances.
The Hudsons Bay Fur Company is CIV
ing up business because furs are no longer
to be had, and the sealsllin buffalo, many
of which show fur marked like tiger,
will doubtless become a valuable product
in northern climes, where the winters are
too cold for the common breeds of cattle
to succeed.

TOMORROW.

dad for Joy In the sunshiny sky,
The larks were singing sweet and loud,
Silent the white clouds glistened on high,
And the sea cleaned far away like cloud.
Brown bees were humming amongst the
brown
And ruby wallflowers; straight and tall
The lily lifted its silver crown;
The tulips laughed by the messy wall.
True lovers-a girl and boy--we strayed
Down the alleys green, with Love for
third,
While dreamily mournful the fountain.
played,
Singing o song that we never heard
BE ye as hopeful and blithe as ye may;
tomorrow keeps never the bloom Of to-
dayp
The larks are silent, the sky is gray,
The sea is hid in chilly shroud;
The blossoms that opened yesterday
Lie torn on the grass in pallid crowd.
The ruby walliowers droop in the rain;
The lily has soiled her silver crown:
The tulips hid by the wall in vain
The pitiless wind beat their glory down.
How changed is the world in few short
hours
All life. how changed! Now walk alone
And hear, while the deathful tempest lours,
The fountain sing as my heart makes
moan
BE We as hopeful and blithe as ye may:
Tomorrow keeps never the bloom of to-
dayr'

Origin of the Term "Masher. +.

The word masher is sometimes said to
be corruption of the French ma cherie.
But this is one of the many instances of
an ingenious etymology whose surface
plausibility imposes on the unscholarly.
Far more likely is the derivation from
the Gypsy word mashava, to fascinate by
the eye. Charles G. Leland, in ''The
Gypsies," credits this etymology. Sand
thus it was" he says (page 1OS), ''that
these black-eyed beauties, by mashing
men for many generations, with shafts
shot sideways and most wantonly, at last
sealed their souls into the corner of their
eyes, as you have heard before" And
in foot-note, he explains: 'tMashing, a
word of Gypsy origin (mashava), mean
Ing fascination by the eye, or taking in. !"

The Chicago Herald narrates that
an employe of the Louisville & Texas
Railroad at Hawesville, KY, dreamed that
q switch was misplaced, and that fast
train was due. He awoke so deeply i'm
pressed with the vision that he went out
to the switch at once to see if all were
safe. He found it misplaced, as he had
dreamed. A fast train was nearly due,
which, with the switch as he found it,
would have crashed into train on the
sidetrack in which sixty men were asleep.
The incident is of interest to hypnotists
and dream student perhaps, but it
throws no new light on the misplaced
switch question. Passengers, as rule,
would Still prefer to trust to the man
that is wide awake rather than to the man
that dreams. The Hawesville mans
dream was opportune and truthful this
time, to be sure, but he is just as likely
some other time to dream that the switch
is all right when really 1t is all wrong.

China Clay.

The porcelain clays of China differ
from those of Europe in containing a
large percentage of white mica, or, as it is
called, s'muscovite." According to re-
cent analysis of M. Georges vogt, the
"yeouko" clay, fusible sort, used for
glaze, consists of $40 parts of quartz,
31.3 parts of muscovite, 1874 of soda
felspar, 2 of carbonate OF lime and l of
hydrated silica. Petun-tse clay contains
no less than 40.6 per cent. of muscovite,
which indeed is common ingredient Of
the soil in the Flowery Land. Its pres,
ence in porcelain clays evidently helps to
account for their translucency. &c Cassen's

What plants would saQthe stone-hruised

Oh, was very learned then,

Where checkerberries could be found.
Iknew the rushes near the mill
Where pickerel lay that weighed pound!
I knew the wood-the very tree
Where lived the poaching, saucy crow,
And all the woods and crows knew me-
But that was very long ago.
And pining for the joys Of youth,
/ tread the old familiar spot
Only to learn this solemn truth;
I have forgotten, am forgot
Yet here's this youngster at my knee
Knows all the things 1 used to know;
To think once was wise as he
But that was very long ago.
l know it's folly to complain
OF whatsoe'er the fates decree,
Yet, were not wishes all in vain,
tell you what my wish should be:
I'd wish to be boy again,
Back with the friends used to know,
For was oh, so happy then
But that was very long ago.

Fish Carried in a Tornado.

were catching fish out of the pools and
puddles made by nights terrific rain.
Later, when the water sunk into the
ground, sunfish and sinners by the thouA

stream within four miles of Swayzee, and
the theory is that these fish were caught
up by small tornado and deposited
where they were found.-Indianapolis
