George Sands old home at Nohant, in
Berri, was sold under the hammer the
other day By an auctioneer at Paris. In
this ancient country chateau the future
famous authorcss spent her childhood
with her grandno other, and years after
ward, when she ad inherited the estate,
brought up her own two children in the
same quiet spot. Many of George Sands
finest pictures Of country life and people
are said to have cen inspired by Nohant
and its surroun lings. OF the ancient
castle nothing is left but the tower and a
small prison, but the modern building
is large and roOuy and is surrounded by
a splendid park.

up that they present points up the front of
the skirt; the bodices are cut to correspond.
A new corduroy cloth in soft shades of
fawn and gray is likely TO be popular,
being cool, light and soft, and is arranged
with silk, velvet, and the fashionable jew
eled passe menterie, or else made up quite
plainly with Louis XIV coat and a bro
cade waistcoat. These coats are in the
zenith Of their popularity at present, and
are carried out for dinner gowns, tea jack
cts and even ball gowns, in the richest
combinations Of material and trimming.
AnexceedinRly stylish garment for street
wear is the Derby jacket, depicted in the
accompanying cut 1t is in tweed, with
turned down collar and facings in MORE
silk. The three-quarter length fronts are
rounded off and shaped to the bodice by
means of a slanting gore, starting from
under the armhole and disappearing in the
pocket. The back view Of this jacket is
shown at the figure in the upper corner Of
the cut. The low waistcoat worn with this
Derby jacket is in cream or white pique.
Little gold studs are worn in the linen shirt
front. The necktie is in white cambria.

Riding Habits.

Horseback riding, as taught in the New
York schools and practiced in the east, fol-
lows English methods, notably the "rising
trot," which is almost unknown at the
south and west. The eastern women also
borrow the English womens fashions in
the matter of a small, flat saddle and short
stirups and in the riding habit
Many Of the habits are being made in
rough, hairy cloths, though smooth cloths
disgonals and corkscrew cloths are also en-
ployed. The colors most favored are black
Snd dark blues. The most popular bodice
Is closely buttoned in front and finished
with square position back. The coat bod

a FASHIONABLE RIDING HABIT
ing collar and lapels, disclosing a scarf at
the neck and cut away at the waist to show
light waistcoat, is another popular style
a completely new habit bodice is double
Nr9hsted, with low revers, showing a tie,
and in lieu Of the ordinary short basque an
elongated one like a mans dress coat
dividingu up the center so that it falls easily
in place on the saddle, This has found
much favor with English equestriennes
Whatever the style of habit bodice may be
the riding skirt remains scant, closely fit
ted at the top and barely long enough to
touch the floor when the wearer is on her
feet
Ladies are permitted a choice between the
silk riding hat and a Derby hat of felt. The
silk hat this season has a slightly bell
shaped crown, with the brim curving mar.
row at the sides. The gloves are Of goat or
doe skin and fasten with four buttons
New York women for the most part ride
in top boots of patent leather, the riding
trousers being made in form Of knicker-
bockers. Long trousers may, however, be
worn with ordinary walking shoes, when
it is desired TO economic, as the boots es-
pecially made for equestrians are expensive.
In this connection it may be well to eX.
plain that the question OF cross saddle
>ldsng for women, which was agitated some
months ago was settled by the Princess Of
Wales, who considered it immodest.

REV. HOWARD CROSBY.

Kew HOWARD CROSBY DR.. Crosby was
so affected by her death and cold con-
tracted while going to her bedside that
he was soon FRUSTRATED by pneumonia,
which progressed rapidly to fatal ter
ninatiOn.
While DIR. Crosby was not specially
noted for his pulpit utterances, probably
no other minister in the country was so
favorably known to so many widely
separated classes AS teacher of Greek
at Rutgers college and elsewhere and
author of Greek text books his name
was familiar to students, and many
ranked him as the best Greek scholar
in America. In all social and economic
questions which enter into politics he was
peculiarly active, especially as to tenn
perance; but he was severely criticised
by total abstinence people for maintain
Ing that the moderate use of wines and
malt liquors was right He labored
long and earnestly for high license laws,
and advocated the use of fermented
wine in the communion.
He was born in New York city Feb.
u, 1926, and graduated in 1874 from the
city university; at the age of 25 he was
made professor Of Greek there, and in
1859 took the same place at Rutgers.
He was one Of the American committee
to revise the New Testament, and in
1868 took his permanent place as pastor
Of the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian
church of New York city. His wife,
two daughters and two sors survive
him. Ernest, the Oldest son, is judge of
the international court at Alexandria,
EgYnt.

Lace hats are decidedly fashionable.
In almost every case the hose matches
the shoes.
The hats are Of fair size, but the bonnets
are small.
For very dressy occasions the fronts OF
shoes are embroidered with gold beads and

THE MODES OF THE DAY.

Styles Adopted with Wooden Fabrics in
the Tailor Made Gowns.
The severe style adopted with tweeds
and other wooden materials suggests the
idea that tailor made gowns have it all
their own way at present. and dresses man
ipuiated by women's hands are confined TO
evening wear, Many Of the light wooden
fabrics have large diamonds or looped rings
in couples scattered over them, while others
have what are ironically called London
lsnowfakes, being Of very doubtful white.
Many of the striped materials are so made

Things that Harrison and WanaHlaker like to
indulge in performing. mass meeting. of the

Judge Lewis told the people that he did not
propose to let st. Landry be ruled by reSula-
tors. The people told him that they did not
propose to let it be ruled by negroes.
People OF ST. Landry, you are right! Here is

From all parts Of Louisiana comes the cry
The schite men must rule this country!
The President has recently appointed nc
gro As Postmaster at Opelousas. but the men
land they are MEM failed to confirm SAID ap-
pointment by a large majority!
Here is the circular calling the meeting: y
Farmerville Gazette: The people of Opelou-
sas are highly indignant over the appointment
of the negro Henry Bloch as postmaster at that
place Judge e. L. Lewis is said to have been
instrumental i'll securing this Objectionable ap-
pointnent and he is being roundly denounced
in severe terms. Harrison and Wanamaker
are meeting with grand OvatiOns in many cities
through which they pass While on their south
ern tour, hut if they would visit NicksbHrg or
Opelousas where, in direct opposition to the
well-knoWn wishes of the people they have
tried to shove into official positions rude and
Objectionable negroes, they would not deserve
such hearty reception and they would not
receive 1t.
Monroe Telegraph Bulletin The people of
OpeOuSas will not taIncly submit to having
their letters and papers diShed out to them by
HarrisOn's sable appointee. Al a meeting held
this week q committee was appointed on ways
and means, and the fact that Jack Thompson Is
at its head does not auSur a quiet administers
ton for postmaster Bloch.

"The magnificent scenery in the
Grand Canon in Colorado is nothing
when compared with the view from a
railroad coach when passing over the
Himalaya fountains" said Col. Tanner
of Calcutta. "The Bolon railroad runs
over the Himalaya mountains 1000 feet
above the sea level, winds in and out of
gorges, and passes over bridges span
ming streams flowing 1000 feet below.
The sight is enough to turn mans
hair. But accidents are not frequent.
The road bed is the best in the world
and the engineering work is marvel"

ton as to ascerEaining the age OF horse after
1t has passed the ninth year which was quite
new to rs, and will be, we are sure, to most

years old a wrinkle comes in the eyelid. and at
tile upper corner OF the lower lid, and every
yeas Hereafter he has one weli-defned wrinkle
for 08sh yeal OF his age over nine III for in
stance, horse has three wrinkles, he is twelve;
III four, thirteen. Add tho number OF wrinkles
tO mine and you will always get at it. So says

fail
