down on the hips, often as far as in the
examples given in pictures of the reign
of that monarch, which show them car
ried to the knee-line and extremely
close-fitting, thus giving added ele-
gance to good figure. There are
cross-seams at the sides and an affec-
tive establishment of very large
pocket-faps The deep pointed vest is
of unfgured silk and has its revers in
brocade. These spread out to the shout
der, and at the back show points, and
are adorned with gold bullion and silk
cord. The cuffs are pointed and much
wider than the waist-measure, while
the collar shows slight flare. The
brocaded silks used for these elegant
dinner coats are of every variety, and
among the most elegant is fabric Of
ivory-white with black velvet tulips;
another is in celadon green with leaves
in darker green, Gray is brocaded
with mauve or with dark brown leaves,
pale green with oranges or with lemons
in black, and the same fruit in natural
colors as to the flowers and leaves as
well as the oranges or lemons them.

AN AMUSING BLUNDER.
Undertaking to Translate without I'm
derstanding the Ianpuage

uefsthnuinB tne Language.
Miss Cooper, a daughter of the novel
list, James Fenimore Cooper, states that,
when in Paris, she saw French trans
lation of her fathers tale, The Spy, in
which there were several mistakes, but
one of them was such that it was al
most incredible that any one could
possibly have been guilty of it. The
residence of Mr. Wharton, one of the
characters who figure in the story, is
spoken of by the author as "The Lo-
Gusts" Now, the translator had evil
IDENTIFY been ignorant of the circum-
stances of there being any species of
trees bearing this name. Having, there
fore, looked out the word in his die
tionary, and finding the definition to be
given as "Les Sauterelles," grasshop-
pers, thus he rendered it in the text.
Presently, however, he came across a
paragraph in the novel in which it was
stated that visitor to the house of Mr..
Wharton had tied his horse to locust.
Then it might naturally be supposed
that the translator would at once have

His reasoning would appear to have
been somewhat on a parity with that of
celebrated countryman of his, when
he declared that IF the facts do not
agree with the theory, SO much the
worse for the facts" Nevertheless, the
writer seems to have been conscious
that some explanation was due of so
extraordinary statement as that a
horseman had secured his steed to a
grasshopper. So he went on to gravely
inform his readers that in America
these insects grow to an enormous size,
and that in this case one of these-dead
and stuffed-had been stationed at the
door of the mansion for the convenience
of visitors on horseback. American

''We buried an old Italian last week
down on the Columbia, who died, well,
of starvation, we all think. About IF
teen years ago Acoino Deminick and his
wife, fresh from Italy, arrived in our
section and selected spot in the ragged
cliffs of the Columbia range, where
where they made their home. For some
time he followed trapping and hunting
for livelihood, but when game grew
scarce, as civilization advanced, he
branched off into farming, which he fol-
lowed up to three years ago.
"Deminick was sculptor of rare
ability. One day when in the noun
tains after long search he came across
square of marble. Taking it to his
home he began the work of an imagin-
airy form-the form of a woman. For
eighteen months he worked away at
odd times until the stone began to as
sumo the proportions he desired. This
far along he became more attentive to
his work, and the features, one at a
time, were soon made to stand out in
strong resemblance to living being.
At last the form was finished and only
desired the breath of God to be put to
the nostrils to make it a beautiful type
