The st. Louis GloJe Democrats New
York letter says a well known designer
of women's gowns says sit requires IN
artist to render women's clothing deco.
ratlve, and male artist at that Few
women know how to apply colors in
dress, and | have seen cultured danes
right here in New York society wear the
most ridiculous combination Of colors
There isn't one woman in hundred who
knows how to harmonic pronounced
colors with effect. They always treat
colors as distinct features of dress, aud
the ruling passion is not SO much to make
harmonious blending as it is to secure
pronounced evidence of the presence in a
gown of fashi )nable color. A man looks
Mt color in a landscape. He doesn't try
to introduce Il color that renders wo-
men caricat Ire as women themselves
dc. For instance, man in designing a
gown consults the pecullarties af a wo-
mans face and figure, the color of her
hair aud eyes, her complexion, her social
status, etc. A gown with pronounced
red features doesn look well on a woman
whose eyes nd hair are brown, and
whose face i: traced with red veins. The
reason why rien have been great successes
as modistes nd designers is because they
tell woma4 what suits her. The or
binary woman dressmaker never does.
She takes ~ material brought her, and
the aborb'ng question is to style, not
adaptabili.y. The shape of a woman's
nose has Just as much to do with the
style Of dress best suited to her as has
the length of her waist. If the nose is
strongly characteristic the dress may be
the same, but a woman with pug nose
commits a crime when she wears any
thing but black or white. There ought,
also, to be a law against woman with
brown hair wearing a green dress, or, in
fact, anything green about her person.
Cold colors, and by that term | mean
decided hnes, green, yellow, red and
pink, 20 with strong Municipalities of
face and figure. The most mdicrous
spectacle in the world is to see u poor lit
tie weakened woman of forty try to wear
pink on the street. The pink age ends
ut twenty seven, the blue at thirty-two,
the red at thirty-tive, yellow (in the
evening" at forty-one, combinations in
Guiding any of these colors at forty-threc,
and black and white with death. A wo-
man under twenty can wear any
color combination she wants, and she
usually does.

The SILK Threads in Paper Money.

In spite of the skill and industry of
counterfeiters, they have never made a
bill which did not have one or more
vulnerable spots. Some of the products
of their handicraft may seem perfect to
the unframed eye, but will find that
each one, like Achilles, has something
lacking in its armor. Perhaps the feat
ures of good treasury notes which com
terfeiters have found ii most difficult TO
initiate are the two blue silk threads
which run lengthwise through them.
They are little over an inch apart, land
though sometimes almost invisible. they
form part of every bill issued by the
government bureau OF printing and en-
craving. A. L. Drummond, chief of
the secret service of the treasury depart
ment, who has had long experience
with counterfeiters and their wares, ex-
planned recently why it was SO difficult
to copy good bills in this respect.
ut the first place, he said, ''the silk
threads are put in the paper when it is
made at the factory. To make paper
of this kind used by the government
requires a big plant and lots of capital,
so counterfeiters are kept outof it. Even
if they had The necessary money, they
wouldn't be fools enough to risk it all
for the chance OF making bogus bills
1t would be exceeding improbable for
a paper manufacturer who already has
factory to make the paper because to
do 80 is a penitentiary offence.

The common belief that the moon af,
fccts the weather, the termination Of
seeds, the growth of plants or the quail
ity OF pork or soft soap is foolish sup
erstition, remnant of paganism. The
changes of the moon are only apparent
and due to the light of the sun, which is
reflected from the moon's surface. The
moon is always the same, and its move
ments aud attractions on tine earth are
the same year after year, and can be fore
told for thousand years to come. II
the weather aud other things depended
upon the moon, these would always bear
the same relation to it, and every day
and month they would be the same.
The only change is in the light reelected
from the moon, and this is 50 weak as to
have no influence whatever upon the
earth, or plants or animals. The light
OF the moon is equal to that of a com
mon candle at a distance of twelve feet,
and Is only one three hundred thou
sanith part of the hight OF the sun. 1t
imparts no heat whatever. Consequently
the time OF sowing seeds, killing pigs,
Or making soap can have no infueace
upon the results. 1t is the manner in
which these things are done aud the pre-
viouS management alone which has any
effect upon them. Formerly it was sup
posed that lunacy was due to some ia
tluence of the mooa upon persons minds
and health, Bat this old superstition
has long been abandoned, and people
know better know, but the old name
which refers to the old belief still re-
mains. -Nso York Times.

Maryels Made of Min.

"The first food of man" has been put
to many uses, and converted into many
forms by human ingenuity, but its lat
est application is perhaps the most re-
markable. An inventor has just taken
out a patent to protect a substitutes for
bone or celluloid and its material which
is to constitute the substance is pro
duced from milk. Casein-the solids
in mix are in the first place reduced to
partly gelatinous condition by means
of borax or ammonia, and then it is
mixed with mineral salt dissolved in
acid or water, which liquid is subse-
quently eyaporated.
The method of procedure is to place
the casein in a suitable vessel and in
corporate under heat the borax with it,
the proportions being ten Kilograms of
borax, dissolved in six litres of water.
When the casein becomes changed in
appearance the water is drawn off, and
the residue, while still Of the consisten-
cy of melted gelatine, one kilogram of
mineral salt, held in solution of three
litres of water, is added. Almost any
of the salts of iron, lead, tin, zinc, cop
peror other mineral which are soluabIe
in acid may be used. When the mix
ture is effected the solid matter is found
separated from the greater portion Of
the acid and water and then drawn off
Next the solid matter is first subjected
to great pressure to drive out all posi-
bic moisture, and then TO evaporation
under great heat to remove any remain
ing moisture. The resulting product is
called "lactites, and can be moulded
into any desired form. BY the admixt-
ure of pigment or dyes any color may
be impaired to it, but the creamery
white color natural to the substance is
the most beautiful, being a very close
imitation Of ivory. Combs, billiard
balls, brush backs, knife handles, and
all other articles for which ivory, bone,
or celluloid are employed, can be made
of this new product of milk.

MARIE AxrolNErrE S SLIPPER,

In an old French household in New
York the most carefully cherished heir
loom is a slipper which was worn by
Marie Anroinette in the last days before
the French Revolution. 1t was one of
the precious relics in the baggage of a
court lady who fed with her husband to
Louisiana when the storm broke. She
left the tiny, blue, faded slipper to her
daughter, with the injunction that it
should 90 down in the family, to the
eldest daughter, if she never allowed
herself to have corns. 1t is a pretty
slipper, and has been carefully kept in
the jewel case of one Frenchwomen
after another, so that it is perfectly pre-.
served. 1t is short, very narrow and
very high heeled, and is a brocaded
blue, lined with soft white silk. The
sole is of coarse grained leather, and
three satin straps over the instep fastened
with paste buckle. The pointed toe is
embroidered with silver threads, and
the edges are bound with silver braid.
The condition regarding its inheritance
has always been strictly regarded The
women of the house have taken great
care of their feet that they might right
fully claim the unhappy Queens slipper,
and for a hundred years there has not
been pinchiug shoe worn in the family.

NOTHING is simpler or easier than the
power of pleasing. 1t does not require
any superhuman effort. 1t is not con-
fined to any condition of life, nor is it
dependent on surrounding cireum-
stances. All it demands is the presence
Of sympathetic spirit, willingness to
be pleased, desire to see the bright
side of things and to discover the best
points in people; frankness and open
ness of disposition, a readiness to leave
self and other engrossing objects and
to enter heartily into subjects more
generally acceptable. Whoever will
cultivate these qualities and habits OF
mind will find new life opening up
within him--a life that will be fuller
and richer in its own happiness, because
it will be constantly increasing that of
his fellow men,

VOW DO woNEx SLEEP,

a German physician answers the above
query as follows: 'The fact is women
require larger amount of sleep than
men. The nervous excitability of the
female constitution is generally greater
than is the case with the stronger sex and
woman's sleep is consequently lighter.
Her dreams are more vivid and leave a
more lasting impression on the memory.
Women addicted to dreaming usually
sleep an hour longer than those who do
not dream, for dreams induce WEAKNESS.
Any one wac sleeps without dreaming
rises on the morrow refreshed from his
couch, which is otherwise not the case. y
