FUR-TRIMMED GARMENTS,
One Worn by Ada Rehal DO Actresses Set
The Fashion?
special to THE SUNDAY CALL.

New YORK, Dec. 81. 1Ss1-We are al
most afraid to repeat the assertion that
every costume will be fur trimmed; we
have sort of feeling that not only we,
ourselves, but also every other contem-
porary fashion writer has been making
the same remark for the last month or so.
We hate to be monotonous, but a walk
abroad down any of the fashionable pro me-
nades makes the fact so very evident that it
is impossible to be an observer of gowns
and not to observe this. Thatit is a fashion
abSurdly carried to excess all those animal
lovers, who hate to see their little pets
curved and twisted into impossible posi-
lions, will be only too glad to urge. 1t GER
talnly is not pretty, although it may be
fashionable TO wear the head, feet and tail
OF some defunct little beast dangling under
ones chin, as though exulting with saw
age barbarlty at the result of the
pleasures of the chase. 1t is painfully
suggestive of the scalps which are supposed to
decorate the belt of an Indian chief--and how
any civilized woman can hang such pathetic
evidence of eXtingushed life ON her bosom
Is riddle which may be placed in company
with many other riddles about that strange
sphlnX-the fashionable woman Bands of
fur are charming, aud fur tail or tw does
not make ones heart bleed with pity, but
beyond this. although fashion dictates the
contrary, we should not recommend our
readers to go. Evening gowns in particular
are prettier with fur decorations than those
fiimsy garments of artificial flowers and
meaningless frills which we had all some
what tired of before fur was announced.
Miss Ada Rehan, in her late performance
of THE Last Word" in this city, wore a
charming white silk gown admirably
finished off with bands of dark fur.

der the sun. they leave the starting and

experience in such matters soon gives them
an idea of the probable success Of gown
and the possible improvements.
In the sketch given below the fashion we
have been condemning is illustrated, but
the arrangement here is too slight TO be
really barbarous looking.

BACTERIA,
1t Is Very Fortunate That Many of Them


1t Is very Fortunate That Many of Them
Are Beneficent.
We are fortunate that only few bacteria
are disease producing; the great majority
of them are harmless and beneficent objects
in nature. They are the prin cipal agents of
oxidation of organic matter. and it is to them
that we owe the phenomena of fermenta-
ton and decay. They are the common
scayengers of the earth. Were it not for
their constant and beneticent work the
world would be choked up with decaying
animal and vegetable matter, and all the
higher orders of life would perish.
But the infectious bacteria have the
power of celebrating heterogeneous poisons,
known as ptomalneS, and the question
whether zymotic diseases are produced by
bacteria themselves or by these ptomaines
cannot i'll our imperfect state of knowledge
be answered with certainty. In some cases,
however, the disease seems to come from
the organic poison, says the Engineering
Magazine. Thus tyrOtoXicon, which is the
alkaloid produced by bacteria in the fer
mentatlou of milk, produces complexus of
symptoms in the human system resembling
those of cholera infantum, so It Is very
probable that tyrotoxcon is the chemical
irritant producing this disease. What is
true of cholera infantum is, perhaps, also
true OF typhoid fever and other filth dis
eases, but not at the same stage of life.
All bacteria feast upon organic matter
and develop in great numbers in fermenting
solutions of it, Their number is generally
approximately proportional to the amount
OF impurity, and therefore may represent
the relative dangers of potable waters. A
water that contains large number of the IN

water for half an hour all the infectious

destroyed. If it is then filtered to remove
the vegetable substances, and aerated to
render it potable, such water can be used
with perfect safety Tor drinking Since the
infectious bacteria are the agents of all
filth diseases. it should be the aim in all san
itary analyses of water to determine
whether they have actual existence in the
water, or, what answers the same purpose,
to determine the conditions favorable for
their development. Whenever chemical
analysis reveals the presence of sewage in
a water its use should be discontinued for
drinking, without an expensive bacteriologl-

Editor Morning Call: The first place of
interest to visit is Bunker Hill monument,
so over into Charlestown we go. and with the
gray shaft in sight wander in and out of the
queer uneven streets, thinking of Warren
and Stark, and Prescott or Putnam, or
Howe, and the memorable battle of June
II, 1875, only two weeks before Washington
took command of the army, over in Cam
bridge town.
Though the PASTURES about the old hill

to-day covered, every inch, with the over
grown city, the HILL less than a hundred
feet high. Is q smooth green mound, with
the line of earthworks still plainly seen on
the east of the shaft, hundred or more
feet long.
Wego up the narrow, winding, intermina-
Bile steps to the top, 90 feet. The view from
the narrow, deep windows hardly repays
for the climb; tile clouds are black and
murky and lie in long lines 10 the east, hid
ing the ocean.

similar to her own, exclaimed: "Oh, no
indeed No lady moving in genteel or mod
erately fashionable society could possibly
maintain her position creditably with les 8
than $1,000 year; and it would take an
excellent manager who could do so with
even that sum-"
Another lady assured US she could keep
herself presentable in the best society on
two hundred and fifty r year. Another
assured us she never spent over three hum
dred; and we think we know some who are
welcomed in the choicest society who would
be thankful for half that sum for their own
use every year.
Not long after we were at an elegant
party, given in honor of distinguished
person. There were many deliberately and
very extensively dressed ladies present,
and OF course every variety of costume.
When at last We were ct liberty to stand
safely in a corner, a gentleman with us
quietly remarked:
'' II part of the costly silks and velvets
that are sweeping the floor had been used
to cover the unprotected neck and Shout
ders, aside from being more sensible, 1t GER
ta!nly would have saved some severe shocks
to old-fashiOned m0desty"
We lonnd that those most simply dressed
were as cordially received as those in mag
nihcent costume, and concluded every wo-
man must be law unto herself in the mat
ter. Seldom are two ladies seen in similar
costumes. One is beautiful in simple white,
with few, perhaps no ornaments. Near
this modestly and ineXpenSively dressed
young lady stands one old enough to be her
mother, attred in the extreme of fashion
every suggestion of colds, stiff neck or rheu-
matte pains. Close by, modest matron in
hlgh-neck velvet, with rich but appro-
pirate jewelry, her dress Just clearing the
floor. Near by an elegant lace dress, with
immense train, sweeps the floor. And all
through the parlors are dresses of every
color and material, and in every conceiv-
able style. Yet all are respected, honored
and select, or they could not be there.
Therefore, seeing it is not alone the most
devoted or eXtravagant votaries of fashion
who can secure an entrance to the circles Of
the best society. would it not be wise for
ladies. young and old, to try the experiment
of dressing less extensively and more sim
ply, and set apart that portion of their
wealth usually spent for elaborate dress for
something more stable and substantial than
they have ever realized by being governed
by fashions caprices.

spontaneous Ignition of Coal.

An excellent paper "On the Spontaneous
Ignition of Coal' was read by Professor
Lewis before the British Association at
their recent meeting at Cardiff. In this
paper the professor points out that the COM
mon idea that spontaneous ignition is
caused by the presence of iron pyrites in
the coal can not be true because in many
manufactures pyrites are largely used, and
although stored in heaps and undergoing
continuous oxidation he has been unable to
trace single case of beating. Spontaneous
combustion may be more truly traced to the
absorptive power of newly won coal for
oxygen, an action which is accompanied by
a great rise Of temperature, and is naturally
FASTENED If the coal be so stored on ship
board that portion of it is near the funnel
or boilers.
Accidents from this cause are most num-
erous in ships that have to cross tropical
seas, from the generally increased tempera-
ture to which the coal is subjected. Ven-
tilation in many ships is worse than useless,
for ii provides the coal with just sufficien {
oxygen to feed it when burning. Moisture
is also an important factor in determining
the ignition of stored coal. Professor
Lewis says if newly won coal were stored
for Il week in mOderate-sized heaps, so as to
allow it to take up its oxygen and cool down
after the heating caused in the process,
spontaneous Ignition would be almost I'M
known.-Chambers' Journal.
