PHILADELPHIA, Wednesday. Feb. A. 1891. |
These Dress Robes, fresh |
from Paris are genuine nov
elites. The very foundation
Cashmere is ont of the rut.
N ew graces of weave, of col
or, of finish in them. Ideal
Cashmere. But you won't
think of that. The Cash
mere is only the canvas for
the picture. The bewitching
loneliness of some of these
Robes comes from the added
embroidery. Nothing new
in that, say you ? Wait a
moment Mis emJroidery as
Of daiuteSt Sill stitch on filing
Net. Bits, and strips, a9d
odd shapes of the Cashmere
] are worked into figures of
beauty on this airy ground
work.
The embroidery is mostly
for sleeves and parts of waist;
occasionally for a panel; but
no matter where it has a
place it lends an air of eleg-
ance to the costume..
Robes Of another style in.
stead of the Net have thickly
scattered bits of jcweled en-
broidery, as if a shower to
silken daisies, crystal heart
ed, had fallen on the stuff.
Still another style-one OF
the simplest-has the pretty
: ing part almost covered Will
eXquisitely petalled flower
shapes, hardly larger than &

There are eight styles 0.
| these rich Robes, each il
from six to nine colorings
The plain Cashmere is il
light or lightish shades, ant
the embroidery almost whol

The NEW Levy Court has been organ
lied, sworn in and is going ahead with
the business Of the county in a business
like manner, One thing has already
developed and is that one man will not
do all the thinking and the talking for
the court. There Is not one OF the
now members who cannot make
lucid, sensible address andi draw a
resolution. Mr.. Gillis, the talented
member from White Clay Creek Hun
dred, is the equal of his predecessor
in ability without his partisan triekery.
The general impression OF all who
looked al the six Republican members
of the Levy Court yesterday could not
help but lie impressed with the idea
that they were business men, who
knew their duty, had the nerve to do
it and the oople Of New Castle County
nnde no mistake in their selection.

3 McCabe a Youngs colored minstrelsi
will appear at the Opera House this
evening and give one of their select
here, but are highly commended by
the press Of other cities. The st. Louis
Globe Democrat says: -
THE average negro minstrels pre-
sented by white men with blackened
faces will be varied at the Standard
this week by negro 1ninstrelsy by
colered men. The McCabe 4 Young
organization opened weeks engage
ment last night with reasonably
large audience, and presented a very
fair program of musical and mlscel-
laneous specialties. The organization
is indeed a very creditable one. and
some of its features make pronounced
hits. The first part introduces the
company in its musical strength, and
provides some fun in its course OF
puns, etc. The star attractions are d.
w. McCabe and VIM. Young, and they
do some very good singing. The
Drum Majors Dream, and the song
drill are also good The program in
cludes some other sketchesand special
ties which were well received.
ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
Another immense audience greeted
Delaur Il Debrimont's Burlesque Com
pany at the Academy last evening.
The performance was first class In
every respect, and delighted the audi
ence, who showed their appreciation
by frequent and prolonged applause.
The closing performance will be given
this evening and the house should be
crowded.
Charles A. Loder, the eminent Ger
man dialect comedian, vocalist and
dancer, will commence an engagement
Tomorrow night for the remainder Of
the week in new play entitled
'Hilarity." Mr.. Loder is a funny
comedian and keeps the audience CON
vulsed with laughter. The cast i'm
ctudes several other good comedians
and host of pretty girls. The Re
publican, OF Meadyille, Pa, in speak
ing OF the play says:
"A packed house greeted Charles A.
Loder in his laughing .absurdity called
'Hilarity.' If any ono went there ex-
pecting a society play or Shake
spearean drama. then that person
must have been disappointed. But
whoever went there solely for the pur-
pose OF laughter must have been
satisfied. Charles Loder himself is
very funny in low comedy, and as a
character actor is unsurpassed. He is
fully equal to George S. Knight

Bamboo for America.

It is hoped by the Department of Agri-
culture that the bamboo may yet be cul-
tivated in this country, as it is in China,
where it supplies large part of the
wants of the people, being applied to
more than five hundred different and
useful purposes. In the Flowery King
dom it takes the place both of iron cnd
steel. The farmer builds his hou5e and
fences out of 1t, his farming utensils as
well as his household furniture are manu-
factured from it, while the tender shoots
furnish him with most delicious vege-
table for his table.
The roots are carved into fantastic
images, shaped into divining blocks to
guess the will of the gods, or cut into
lantern handles and canes. The tapering
culms are used for the prons of houses,
the frameworks of awnings, the ribs of
sails, and shafts of rakes; for fences,
and every sort of frames, coops aud
cages, and for the handles and ribs of
umbrellas and fans. The leaves are
sewed into rain coats and thatches. The
wood, cut into splints of various sizes, is
woven into baskets of every form, sown
into window curtains aud door screens
and twisted into cables. The shavings
and curled threads furnish materials for
stuffing pillows, while parts supply the
bed for sleeping, the chopsticks for eat
ing, the pipe for smoking, the broom for
sweeping, the mattress to lie upon, the
chair to sit upon, the table to eat on, the
food to eat, and the fuel to cook 1t with.
The ferule to govern with, the book to
study from, the reed pipe of the organ,
the shaft of the soldiers spear, and the
dreaded instrument of the judge; the
skewer to pin the hair, aud the hat to
screen the head; the paper to write on,
the pencil TO write with and the cup to
put the pencil in; the rule to measure
lengths, the cup to gauge quantities, and
the bucket to draw water; the bird
cage, the crab net, the fish pole-are one
and all furnished by this plant, whose
beauty when growing is commensurate
to its usefulness when cut down. A
score or two of bamboo poles for joists
and rafters, fifty fathoms of rattan ropes,
and supply of palm leaves and bamboo
mats for a roof, supply material for
common hut in the south of China

WISE WORDS.

We are martyrs to our own faults.
White hairs are like the sea foam which
caps the waves after storm.
The man who "would'n't do a thing
for the world" is frequently found doing
IL for himself.
The vulnerable point Of ones character
is much more speedily discovered by om
interiors than by our equals.
We may give a man credit for his
good intentions, but he can't get cash
for them unless they are backed by
deeds.
The man of one idea may be a bore,
while the man with none is that delight
ful acquaintance who allows you to do
all the talking yourself.
An animal when It is sick Graves for
solitude; whereas the human being, on
the contrary, is only happy when he can
make his sufferings public.
Every single action Of our life carries
in its train either reward or a punish
ment, however little disposed we are to
admit that such is the case.
The true ''graud-dame" displays the
same manners in her toilet room as in
her salons, and the same courtesy towards
her servants as towards her guests.
Nervous force is an awfully queer
thing. The man whose nerves would
not quail at the ramping of lion is all
broken up at the nervousness of o woman
who has no nerves at all.
The world does not forgive us either
our talents or our successes, nor our mar.
riage, nor our friendships, nor our future.
The only thing which is looked upon
with indulgence is our death.
The man who has forgotten his grand
fathers first name may look with con-
tent upon the pride of long descent; but
it is hard to say just how his great
grandfather looks down upon him.
There is kind of close relationship
between all those who are suffering from
some sorrow or other. If we are in
mourning we feel somehow or other
drawn to every black dress we meet.
When for short time one is deprived
of pleasure, one no longer feels the long
ing thereafter; and even if she does at
length knock at our door, we open it
with fear and trembling, dreading that
it may be sorrow in disguise.

The people of Iceland are the latest to
be affected by the general spirit of dis
content that pervades Europe, observes
the Philadelphia Record. Numbers of
them have within the last few years set
tied in Manitoba, and it is now said that
there will be large immigration to
Alaska. The Icelanders have long been
striving to secure autonomy in their
home affairs, but so far the mother
country, Denmark, has refused them q
fuller measure of legislative power.

Young People Need Much sloep.

A German specialist, DR.. Cold, has
recently pleaded for giving young people
more sleep. A healthy infant sleeps
most of the time during the first weeks;
and, in the early years, people are dis
posed to let children sleep as much as
they will. But from six or seven, when
schools begins, there is complete
change. Az the age Of ten or eleven,
and as he grows older the time of rest is
shortened. DR.. Cold believes that, up
TO twenty, youth needs nine hours
sleep and an adult should have eight or
nine. With insufficient sleep, the nery-
Gus system, and brain especially, not
resting enough, and ceasing to work
normally, we find exhaustion, excitabil-
ity, and intellectual disorders gradually
taking the place of love of work, general
well.being, and the spirit of initiative.

WHEN THE LEAVES TURN RED.


There is purple peacefulness that covers
natures features,
Like any-colored-bed-quil o'er a baby's
trundle bed,
Nature covers ali us children, nervous, tired
little creatures,
Nervous, tired little children, whether
princes popes or preachers;
When the leaves turn red.
And she spreads her gaudy bed-quilt all
eglow with golden glory,
For she knows twill please her children and
decoy them off to bed,
They drift Off in their gorgeous cribs, like
babies in dory,
Down through misty, hnzy valleys that we
read about in story;
When the leaves turn red,
A balm that's full Of sleepiness envelops hill
and river,
An air that's full Of sweet content Ger all
the earth is spread;
We know we dream, and yet we pray to be
awakened never,
For tits the prayer of every soul to dream
right on forever;
When tho leaves turn red.

Whore Mammoths Roamed.

In the days when the mammoths
roamed in Northern Siberia the climate
of that region must have been compare
lively mild. 1t could not have been
very warm, because in that case their
long fur would not have been required,
but it was doubtless temperate. Sud.
denly there came frigid change. If it
had been gradual the animals would
have slowly migrated southwark, but
evidently it came all at once. Tae gigan-
tic beasts congregated for shelter in
valleys, where they we're overwhelmed
by snow drifts, and lay down to die be-
meath fieecy avaIanches, which were
finally transformed into solid ice. This
ice, composing glaciers, was swept
through the gorgos toward the Arctic
Ocean, carrying the buried creatures along
with it, Washington Star,

Notwithstanding the improved me.
chanical precautions, the greater skill of
employees, and the close inspection
which corporations, in their own interest,
are bound to maintain, the frequency of
railway accidents is said to be increasing
in this country. The long series of
serious wrecks this summer is strong
evidence of the truth of this statement.
A fact which must work to that end is
the deterioration of roadbeds. One of
the disasters which occurred on Western
railroads this summer was manifestly due
TO the insecure condition of the rails.
The railway authorities of the State in
which it occurred notified the officers of
the corporation that they must see to it
that the road was properly repaired, or
forfeit their franchise. The railway
company's officers replied that the road
did not pay and therefore did not
warrant them in making the expenditures
necessary to keep it in good physical
condition, which was tantamount to an
acknowledgment thut the road had not
been kept IN condition tit for use. This
is no doubt an isolated case, but it is
probable that many railways constructed
in this country during the last twenty
years are getting to that where repairs
are necessary,
