New Notions In Trimming and Cutting
Cloth Dresses.
Scalloped edges falling over a facing,
quilting or rufiie, is the only trimming
on many cheviot dresses, with the
bodice edge to correspond, and both
bound with silk braid. Heavy cloth
skirts are often made without lining
to reduce the weight. Except with a
few, skirts are not worn to touch the
ground. An attempt at panier drapery
is made in few French dresses, but it
will hardly take before the summer
season, when lightweight materials
are worn. Plain, slightly gathered,
plated or "broken" fronts are worn;
the latter has few crosswise plaits at
the belt and side seams to break tho
fullness into graceful folds. A silk and
cashmere gown has the front and sides
of the skirt in five panels divided BY
single box-plaits of the second material.
The bodice has the upper part Of the
sleeves and front, of the silk, with
cashmere for the close under-sleeves,
and loose fronts draped on each
shoulder with velvet rosettes, cut low
necked and drawn around the point on
the bias SO as to fit without any seams.
Passementerie edges the high silk COLI
lar, low cashmere neck and sleeves.
Full backs are box or fan-plaited, or
gathered in a small space. Several
skirt backs have been lifted up over the
pointed bodice and apparently, held
there by rosette of velvet. A fam
plated back sets better if lined with
crinoline. Princesse effects appear in a
polonaise that has princesse back cut
with wide extensions at the waist-line,
which are laid in great hollow box
plaits to form sufficient fullness, while
the left front fits closely, and the right
front is Tapped over in folds from the
shoulder to the left, where large vel
vet rosette finishes the effect. The
trimming is placed down this side OPEN
ing and continues around the foot

A Dearth of Dimes.

1.-THE pocket savings bank craze has
locked up nearly all the dimes of the
country, so that it is not very easy to
make small change" said Tom Hedion
the popular cashier of Tom Taggart' s
Union ststion restaurant "You see, this
vest pocket bank will hold just fifty
dimes, and it is impossible to extract
them till the 'bank'is full. This new toy has
not been in the market long enough to
give the possessors an opportunity to FIJI
them up. 1t takes long time to gather
fifty dimes. don't believe there are
enough dimes in circulation to half fill
up the banks now In the pockets of the
people. The dimes are nearly all exhaust
ed, and not until the people break their
banks will the dime freely Gil culate
again. This morning man came here
for lunch and all he possessed was in
his bank Fifteen dimes-but he could
not get them out, so he went to pawn
shop and sold the bank for 81. l under
stand an enterprising uncle is already
reaping harvest by keeping supply of
dimes and opening partially filed savings
banks on commission"

The claim Of the free traders that pro
lection had destroyed our foreign com
merce YVES refuted In most conclusive
manner by Senator Aldrch Of Rhode
Island In his recent address 10 the PrOtee-
tive Tariff League in New York. The
Senator pointed out that during the reys-
nue. tarf period, from 1si7 10 lsGl the
lRn commerce of the United states
aggregated 81, 1876 900 ,OO0,- al average
OF $i53,0O 900 annually. During the
protective tariff period, from 1851 10 1880,
the foreign commerce Of the United States
aggregated 500, 1874 ,000, 000, or al average
OF ! ,35C, 900, 900 annually. Thus the an
nual average during the 10 years Of prOtec-
tive tariff has been almost exactly three
times the annual average Of the IA years Of
revenue tariff. The Senator also showed
that the quality as well as the quantity Of
the foreign trade of the country hal i'm
proved. During the revenue tariff period
the Imports per capita were S93 and the
exports 81 73 an adverse balance Of sl.G2
year for every man. woman and child
FOR IA years. During the protective tariff
period the per capita exports have been
Sl3 81 and the inn orts Sill GA favorable
balance Of Z "a for every man, woman
and child for IS years. The adverse bal
ance of trade from 1647 to 1861 was &645,-
900 900, which was liquidated by ship
ments of gold to Europe. From 1861 to
1880 the favorable balance Of trade was
81 ,534, 900 00O which led to heavy impor-
,ations of the yellow metal and made the
resumption OF specie payments a possibili-
ty. Another fact Of much significance is
IL at our manufactured goods, the results
OF the protective tariff, now form large
part Of our exports; having grown from
1853 per cent during the revenue tariff
period to As 8 in the protection period.

that in 1881 he hired the Monroe house, in
Belfast, now owned by Mr.. j. d. Tucker.

Portable and warm, the furnace good and
ample to heat the house. But on the con-
trary the cellar walls were cracked, which
let in the cold, ana the furnace was old

fects his little son took cold. followed by
Group. and after great suffering, died. Mr..
knowlton says he was greatly injured in
body and mind, injured in his business and
put to great expense. He thinks SO 000

Diego harbor, California, taking along
the United States Marshall who was on
board as keeper and put to sea, Wednes-

The schooner Robert and Minnie was

LITERARY NOTES

Miss Jewett has never done anything bet
ter than her description of the return of
the Hon. Joseph X. Laneway to his ma
tive town Wingby,in the May Atlantic.
His self-conscious address to the schole RS
of the old school in which he was for
merly student, his surprise that he was
entirely forgotten in his native place, and
the final satisfying happiness of an even
ing spent with an old lady, former
sch )olmate. are precisely the kinds of
things Miss Jewett knows how to do,
and are done at her very best.

HOME, SWEET HOME.

No sweeter song is everhe
Than that the happy mother sings;
Her lullaby is loves own word.
And from her heart our home JOY springs.
It matters not how simple she.
How quaint the strain she murmurs Ger,
1t steals like angel melody
From some unseen but sunny shore.
Turn back to childhoods golden bliss,
How wOndrOus we're its summers long,
How pure its rapture, fond its kiss,
How ravishlng its bluebird song!
The great world grew in pictures fair.
Its seasons framed them strangely wise:
AS light as dew fell snowflake care,
While pleasure beamed like morning skies.
Let man or maid with vision keen
Review the blessings of to-day,
And 10! in long array they're seen,
A field of flowers from Gods own May,
And song birds gather there to sing
In palm and vine, the while the sun
Does thousand treasures to us bring.
And yet lifes story's but begun!
Let no man say: but death abides,
And all our jewels dreamlike fade;''
Behind the shadow sunshine hides.
And love will reap what wisdom made;
Our faith and hope reach over time
To that sweet home where ours shall be
A song that Heaven makes sublime,
Its music-all eternity!
William BruntOn, in Good Housekeeping.
