BE in Great Demand.

Feminine Dress Novelties That Seem to
BE in Great Demand.
a great number of handsome gray
dresses appear upon the promenade.
Some are richly embroidered with steel
and silver with the trimming repeated
on the bonnet and sunshade. Others
are relieved with white. Gray looks it's
coolest when combined with white.
For a special full-dress occasion is
made a black and white costume of
rather unique style. The skirt is en-
tirely of white silk, trimmed with
white silk embroideries 1t has last
century coat of black velvet, lined with
white brocade. The coat fastens below
the chest with double clasp of Jet but
opens broadly below it, showing a ia bot
and continental frill of fine old Elem
ish lace. Accompanying this costume
is very odd-looking three-cornered
hat, which, though handsomely made,
looks appropriate only for a fancy-dress
party
Some of the light India cashmere
toilets are combined with striped silks
that are figured with tiny polkadots
in white or colors. These dresses are
made with graceful princesse backs
and jacket-fronts of the cashmere, with
sleeves, fronts and blouse vests of the
striped silk. Reseda and cream-colored
striped silks in these patterns are pref
ty, with polka-dots of English rose.
The handsome cotton dresses that are
worn for walks and drives in the park
will be popularity worn all day in the
country, and even at fashionable water
ing-places. They are, in many cases, as
rich and dainty in effect, and made up
with as much care and at as much ex-
pense, as a summer silk, and thus take
far higher rank than formerly on dress
parade" Ecru batiste is very popular
material this year, the fabric being
barred, striped, lowered or bordered.
The bodices are made in ways both sim
pie and elaborate, but all the skirts
hang full over silk petticoats of the
same shade, the batiste dresses having
no foundation skirts.-N. Y. Evening

Roast Lamb: Wash it well, sprinkle
it with salt and pepper, dredge it with
flour and put it into the pan with half

hours to roast the hind quarter, and an

one of sharp vinegar. Stir it up and

AN ARTISTIC WEDDING.
1t VIII Take Place in a Salon Resemble

1t Will Take Place in a Salon Resembling
New England Forest.
At a wedding that will take place
shortly after the date of this writing. il
is proposed to make the salon where the
ceremony will occur as much as posi-.
BILE like New England forest in late
spring. The walls will be decorated
with a curtain-like fail of pine, fir and
hemlock, lnterspersed with tufts of the
pure, soft white bloom of the meadow
rue. Along the sides of dado, set in
earthen pots, will be the creamy bios
SONS of the bunchberry. and
the soft light plumes of the
tiarella, white, flecked with salmon
mink. The mantels will be twined
with yellow-starred cinque-foil and
little smilacina, with pixies of tiny fra
grant blossoms. In the center of this
perfume and greenness, the delicate
pink-veined flowers of the oxalis will
nestle among thin trefoil leaves. The
bay-window, where the ceremony will
take place, will be built in with a fairy
like background of feathery, graceful
ferns soft, rich MOSES of varied tintS,
from deepest, darkest hue. through
olive and golden brown, to palest sea
green, and they in turn are to be con-
trasted with lichens, in quiet gray and
soft drab, touched with scarlet, while
cold and little wood rushes with
pretty brown flowers rise out of downy
leaves. The arch under which the bride
and groom stand viii be formed of ferns
and straw lilies that swing their slen-
der bells, and pure white starflower,
and Indian hemp, with its pink coral
drops, while intertwined within the
meshes of this garland will shine the
small heads of red and white clover,
Solomon's seal, yellow sorrel, golden
raw with buttercups, gold threads and
violets. The bride will carry bouquet
of apple blossoms, and the brides
maidens osier baskets filled with wood
moss and blow lilies.-Art interchange

LOCOMOTIVE CEMETERY
what Is Done With Engines After Their
Term of Usefulness Is Ended.

Term of Usefulness Is Ended
Near the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
fauI shops, at West Milwaukee. there
- cemetery where worn-out loco
motives complete the metamorphosis
"hich they, no less than the men who
nade them, inevitable undergo. Lately
d lot OF old engines from all parts of the
o.. raul system have been brought to
milwaukee, to be broken up and con-
serted into scrap-iron, and now some
nifty OF them stand on the side-track
west OF the shops They form a line
more than quarter of mile long, and
there Is something picturesque about
their rusty dilapidation. Almost every
style OF locomotive is represented, from
the old-time wood burner, with its
bulging smoke-stack and comparatively
clumsy mechanism, to the more
modern coal-burning engine that
has been set aside, not because it is
worn out, but because it is too light for
the sort of work locomotive has to do
nowadays Some of those light engines
have been sold to small roads in various
parts of the country Many of the loco
motives have been very nearly reduced
to scrap-iron as the result of collisions,
and have been taken to the shops merely
to have the process completed. One of
them has had its boiler pushed back
ward through the cab, it's pilot knocked
Off, the working parts of the engine dis
membered, and the smoke-stack hangs
over with melancholy lop, like the
head of an expiring fowl. Even the
number disappeared in the general coll
lapse, and the old iron steed has lost its
identity. One of the most antiquated-
appearing engines at the shops is one
that was lately brought up from Sa-
vannah, where it was used for
transfer purposes Its smoke-stack
has an abnormally-swelled appearance,
and the whole locomotive bulges on all
sides in most preposterous manner.
Its boiler is low and its cab is high, and
the engine cylinders stick out beyond
the dwarfed drive-wheels in a way that
gives the old engine very mumpy APP
pearance. Compared with the huge,
powerful locomotives now in use, it is
an absurd looking old concern.
Many of these iron hulks have an in
teresting history; some of them have
been great travellers in their time, and
have traversed almost every part of
the United States. As for the number of
miles that have been run by these fifty
retired locomotives, it would, if COM
puted, amount to some thing colossal in
figures. Each locomotive il use now
travels from 81, 900 to 40, 600 miles a
year. and in 1889 the 7S3 locomotives in
service on the ST. Paul road travelled an
aggregate distance of 10, $780, Cos miles

A Safe Guard.

Few people living in malarial country
but occasionally need a vigorous tonic,
either to keep off the malarial feeling or
else to cure the disease if it once gets into
the system. There is no more uncomfort-
chills and fever. 1t drives away energy
and ambition. 1t makes one feel sick and
mean all over. A safe guard against the
disease and sure cure is Smiths Tonic
Syrup, made by DIR. John Bull, of Louis
vile, Ky. A single bottle will do for an en-
tire family. 1t is far better than quinine,
as no arrangement of the system ever fol
lows it's use. The use of quinine causes a
buzzing in the ears, dizzy sensations, nausea
and sometimes even commissions and
paralysis. Use Smiths Tonic Syrup and
all sueh danger is avoided. In fact it has
all the good medicinal qualities of quinine
with none of its evil nature.
