Artificial Pearls.

Considerable ingenuity has been exer-
cised in the manufacture of artificial
pearls. The French have attained the
greatest excellence in this industry.
From small fish called the bleak the
scales are scraped, washed and pressed
between folds of linen cloth of fine tex
turc. A fluid then slowly trickles from
them, and when it has been filtered often
enough to attain the requisite degree of
purity is mixed with an alkaline sub
stance to arrest the decay of animal mat
ter.
This is tie precious "Essence d'Ori-
ent," to produce pound of which sew
eral thousand of the fish are required.
the addition of small quantity Of
isinglass completes the preparation of the
fluid for use. The essence is now injc .
ed into hollow spheres of colorless glass
until it covers the surface of the interior.
Instantly the glass bead is transformed
into an admirable imitation of pearl.
In fact, the counterfeit is so perfect that
it can only be detected by weight.
The Italians also make artificial pearls,
but in an entirely different way. They
insert skillfully colored vanished into
glass beads, end also cover porcelain
spheres with a cement made from finely
powdered mother of-pearl. These imi-
tations are pretty ornaments, but do not
make any pretense of competing with the
genuine article.-Mew York Ners.

NEW WAY OF BLusHINe.

Have you heard CT the new way of
blushing9 asks Madge in London Truth.
Some coloring matter of deep carmine
tint is put into the cheeks by means of
small hypoderm!c syringe, and the bloom
thus impaired is sale to remain for hours.
The lady who is said to have used it is
described as having complexion of a
sallow, greenish hue. This could not
possibly have been pleasing. After the
Injection of the carmine liquid under the
skin of her cheeks, she became 'radiantly
beautiful, her great splendid eyes shining
like stars" There is no rose without
thorn, however, and the sharp point of
the syringe makes an ugly little scar on
the cheek. As it has to be inserted in
fresh place each time, it is impossible to
adopt this mode of blushing very often.
Besides, it hurts to make hole in the
skin, and there are, in addition, dark ru-
mors of a misguided being who unskil-
fully inserted her blush, so that it col.
lected all in one spot, AID looked very
hideous. The fluid costs $40 a bottle.
An expensive kind of blush, don't you

A DRESS FOR A PRINCESS.

A japanese princess has ordered a
court dress from Boston, and it has
started on its journey. The order for
q gown "for Mrs. Kentaro Keneko" was
given a fortnight ago by Mrs. Fenel.
I lossa.
:. 1t is for very little lady; the length
of the skirt in front is thirty-four inches,
and the waist measures only twenty
inches. The skirt is of ivory satin cloth
of gold; the design, the rising run in
the gold, and in the white, the peony.
Set into the skirt on either side are three
vertical folds of mandarin yellow satin,
each headed with a bunch of yellow
ostrich tips. The heavy white satin
train attached measures three yards, and
there is an exquisite white satin bodice
to be worn with this, laced up the back
with white ribbon. It has low neck and
short sleeves, finished with antique den
telles, and the bodice is edged with mar
row gold passementerie.
The robe, in this form, is to be worn
at court receptions, but in the throne
room itself the princess will wear another
bodice and more magnificent train with
the cloth of gold skirt. This train and
bodice are Of a brocade of pale green

Artificial Diamonds.

Diamonds cannot be attacked by any
chemical substance whatever, being
almost pure carbon. This fact has in
duced many persons to try and crystalize
carbon so as to obtain a precious gem out
of it, and they have partly succeeded, but
while these artificial diamonds possess a
brilliancy and transparency worthy of
comparison with those of the real thing
they are microscopic, very small, and
always colorcd. Perhaps they would re-
semble real diamonds more could they
be made larger and quite colorless. AS
now manufactured they are not of the
slightest value to commerce. There can
not be any serious doubts as to the pos
sibility of producing diamonds artifci-
ally, but up to the present no really prac-
tical means have been found in making
them respond to the necessities of trade

BLONDES OUT OF FASHION.

Blonde hair is going out of fashion,
and fashion changes almost as regularly
as the time, the wind and the weather.
The troupe of blondes one used to meet
on Broadway any fine afternoon in the
week seems to be alternating. The chief
difficulty seems to have been the bad eff
fects of the dye, and the difficulty in
many cases appears to have been disas-
trous. Those whose taste for blonde
beauty is incurably inactive are likely to
have bad turn of it this winter. Dark
beauties are to have their turn. Hence
forward no vapid young woman, with
any pretence to style, will affect anything
but the blackest of locks. I hear that the
Craze for blonde hair has reached the
ladies of China and Japan. Bales of it
are being shipped to them every week
from Europe. The Yum Yums of Pekin
and Toxic despise dye. They want the
real article. After all, natural hair is
the -best.-NeD York Telegram.

A NOVEL AND BECOMING PoLoNA1sE.

The fashion contributor to London
Truth has seen a novel and becoming
polonaise upon a remarkably handsome
woman, of which garment she says: SIT
was in black crepe de chine and fitted
perfectly in front, upon a splendid figure.
Just below the waist, upon the hips, a
few panier-Gke folds appeared and car
ried the eye around to the back, where
these side folds curved upward to the
neck, though only in the very center,
leaving the arms perfectly free and show
ing some fine jet trimming around the
sleeves. From the neck the polonaise
fell in folds straight to the ground; and,
as you may have gathered from my de-
scription, the whole garment was in one.
But, oh! the subtle art needed to make
it fit as it did The folds at the back dis
appeared under high collar, also edged
with band of jet. A much narrower
trimming of the same bordered the skirt
of the polonaise. The latter opened in
front, at the end of the basque, display
ing an undcrdress of black silk, with
whole rivers of finely cut jet covering the
front. The sleeves were of black silk,
slightly pulled, and gathered at the elbow
into long cuffs covered with bands of jet
running around the arm, not lengthwise. u

Beet Sugar in America.

There are at the present time but
three beet sugar houses in America. Two
of these are in California and one in
Nebraska, at Grand Island. The latter
is a model factory, backed by ample
capital, equipped with all facilities for
prosecution of beet sugar manufacture as
developed in the beet sugar countries of
Europe. This season it has contracts
with some 600 farmers within 100 miles
of the factory. Railroads make favor
able rates for delivery of the most dis
tant culture. This season exceptionally
unfavorable weather has somewhat re-
duced the quantity of beet roots ex-
pected, but the supply will be ample to
make thorough test of the possibilities
of successful beet sugar production in
Nebraska.
The analysis of the beets thus far re-
ceived indicate high standard of sugar
contents, every load of beets delivered
being sampled out and tested. A fixed
price is paid for certain minimum
Standard, and the price varies from the
minimum upward. Our Government
consider the experiment of beet raising
of such Importance to the farmers of the
entire country, that Secretary Rusk, of
the Department of Agriculture; who has
visited Grand Island, has detailed a
chemist from his department to remain
at Grand Island during the season of
sugar making, and to prepare carefully,
for the use of the department, all the
data available in relation to the work,
from the growing of the beets to the
final marketing of the sugar.-NsU Or

Black Walnut.

Black walnut is rapidly becoming ex-
hausted and there seems to be nothing in
this country to take its place. No other
tree is so valuable. 1t grows rapidly, will
thrive in any soil, and is very hardy, re-
quiring very little care, because no ami
NAL and but one insect feed upon it. 1t
has a value but little known, which is
that the European, or "French walnut
as it is called, grows firmly on it, and is
easily grated. 1t can, in that way, be
made to yield fortune if cultivated on
a large scale. In twenty, years it will
mcse than pay all expenses and interest,
and in fifty years the trees would worth
at least $40, 900 an acre.-Te Ledger.

aISTs FOR HOME DREssMAKERs.

HINTS FOR HOME DRESSMAkERS.
Skirts of walking dresses are still cut
walking length, that is, just escaping the
ground. Especially is this necessary fol
the proper effect of the circle or habit
skirt, which is especially ungraceful
when clutched in the back to raise ii
from the sidewalk, or even when short
ened by tapes. There are various devices
and arrangements of tapes for shortening
the skirts OF dresses intended for both
house and street wear, but the makeshift
is always evident, and betrays the neces-
sity for economy. A short skirt can pe
worn in the house with perfect propriety
on any occasion; but skirt resting upon
or even touching the ground is entirely
out of place on the street, excepting in
passing to or from carriage; hence
those versed in less convenances, even
though longer skirt may be more be-
coming, have their walking costumes
made walking length.
With the clinging skirt, the perfect fit
of the foundation skirt is absolutely
essential, and it requires as careful fitting
as the waist. Always guard against
having the front drawn too closely, by
holding it full in mounting to the belt;
and try it sitting as we'll as standing be-
fore adding the drapery. Fit over the
hips by taking out small cores rather
than by laying plaits, if a very smooth
fit be necessary.
A favorite finish for the bottom of the
skirt, instead of braid, and much more
durable, is a velvet-covered cord or a
narrow piping OF velvet or velveteen set
in between the outside and the inner
facing. A good plan is to make two
slashes in the bottom of the front, about
two and half inches deep, and where
the feet touch the skirt in walking. This
gives more ease, and the friction on the
shoes is reduced.
All bodices are cut to give slender
long-waisted effect, and to this end side.
form seams are straighter and reach al
most and sometimes quite to the
For the same purpose
the back seams of the side cores are
placed as far back as the figure will
allow, which gives roundness to a fiat
figure, and makes the waist appear more
slender. Shoulder seams reach only to
the tips of the shoulders, and are made
to appear even shorter by having the
fullness of the sleeves caught up over
them.
For street wear the moderately high,
straight standing collar is worn, but
notifications of the Medici collar are
most fashionable; for house-dresses, col
lars more or less faring are almost uni
versal, although high, straight collar
edged with a narrow puff of white or a
color is still considered stylish. A frill of
lace falling over the hand is favorite
and very becoming finish for the bottom
of the sleeve for a house-dress; or the
wrists and collar are finished with vel
vet-colored cord, or one of silver or gilt.
