A Business Dress.

Business women all over the country
are vastly interested in the efforts zen e
are making to invent or hit upon Il
pretty, stylish and comfortable dress
that they may wear during working
hours. Its qualifications must be com
fort, lightness and pockets. 1t must
e5cape the ground, and it must be be-
coming. Pockets that will not sag the
skirt are to be absolutely necessary.
Some OF the newspaper women in New
York and Washington seem to have
worked out their own dress salvation
in very satisfactory way. They wear
plain round cloth skirt. a daintily
tucked blouse of silk or linen with
pockets in it like those in a yachtir Q
shirt, and over this a little cutaw, '
coat next of kin in shape to a blazer.
but looking MT masculine at all. being
curved in to the figure with small hip
pockets and two inside breast-pockets.
Around the waist, to efface any sugges-
ton of masculinity. may be worn
girdle or a sash. This is really an
ideal working-dress.

How the Months Were Name.

January is OF latin origin, from the
word Tanuarius, named by the ancient
Romans in honor of their so, called god
Janus, to whom the season of the year
was sacred.
February comes from,the latin word
Februarius, derived from fcbrum, which,
in the sabian language, menta "purga-
tive hence comes the noun Februa,
which sibnified the Roman festival of
lustrati0n and expiation.
March is named in honor of Mars, the
Roman god of war.
April derived its name from the latin
Aprilis, and then from Aperie, which
means to open.
May is name which comes from the
Romans, in honor of Mais. the mother
of Mercury and daugter of Atlas.
June is the name that all will readily
think of when they read the history OF
the goddess Juno, In this month, she
seemed, from accounts, to be greatly
worShiped.
July is in honor Of the great Roman,
Caius Julius Cnser, who was born at
this season OF the year.
August was named in honor of the
great Roman emperor, Augustus CPser.
September was the seventh month OF
the Roman year, as they commenced
with march, and consequently derived
its name from the latin word. septem.
meaning seven.
October being the eighth month OF
the year, derives its name from octO,
meaning eight.
November from novem, meaning
nine.
December is from the latin word decem,
,eu it being the tenth month of the Ro-
man year.-Chicago Ledger.

A SCARED BISHOP.
He wa. Given a Hint TO Leave the Hotel.
and Took It.

Speaking of practical jokers rersinds
me. says IAN ex-Diplomatiss" in the
n. Y. Tribune. that they often serve
the purpose of Kidding the house of
visitor whose presence, for one reason
or another, has become uncongenial.
/ remember case in point. which oc-
cured not III England but at Shop
herds. that famous old English hostelry
at Cairo which is inhabited throughout
the winter by coterie of people
prominent in London society to the
exclusion of nearly all outsiders.
Among the persons stopping at the
hotel during one of the winters which
/ spent there was a dignitary of the
English church. an eX-colonial bishop,
who was accustomed to frown upon our
innocent amusements and to put on
great deal too much ''side" and POM
posity for so rank an outsider as an exc
colonial prelate.
Determined to get rid of him. we got
hold, one evening at about 9 o'clock. of
a gigantic flaningo. most vicious
brute who dwelt in the hotel garden,
tightly that he could not move. Then
we fastened down the mosquito cur
tains, which were thick enough to con-
ceal the interior of the bed, except by
daylight. At about IL the bishop re-
tired. He unrobed himself by the dim
light of candle. being unwilling to
attract mosquitoes by a more extern
sive illumination, and then, having
performed his devotions, extinguished
his light before drawing aside the
mosquito curtain to get into bed. The
moment he untucked the sheets the
imprisoned flamingo became released,
and, with hoarse and furious croak,
jumped up and made an angry lunge
with its enormous beak at the bishop.
The latter, terror-stricken. jumped
away, tearing down the entire canopy
of the bed, and fled, without much dress
or dignity, around the long corridor,
filling the air with his imprecations and
appeals for assistance.
A few steps behind him came the
now frantic bird with outstretched
wings and extended beak. croaking
with fury almost rs loud as the curses
of the bishop. The bird manifestly
was in pursuit of the right reverend
father, whom it held responsible for
its long Imprisonment in the bed, and
its ordinarily comical appearance was
further increased by the fact that part
of the mosquito netting of the bed was
hanging from its shoulders, much in
the same manner as clergyman's sur
plice.
The bishop finally got round to his
door again. and finding it open bolted
in and locked it. The indignant bird
spent the remainder of the night wad-
ding up and down the corridor clapping
its beak and croaking until in the
morning the native gardeners were
summoned to remove it back to the
COURTYARD. Our object, however, had
been attained, for the bishop left on the
following day.

BELOW THE SEA LEVEL.
An Ocean of Glittering Salt in the Colo
RADIO Desert. -

Salton is one of the lowest points in
the United States, being 263 feet be-
low sea level. 1t is dreary spot stu
ated about the end of huge valley.
From time immortal Salton has been
desert, and for all time &c come it
will remain so. Except for a few
scant sagebrush nothing on it nor can
be made to grow. Here lie the huge
salt beds which are now being worked
by San Francisco company, SO what
looks apparently useless waste is
really valuable land.
The beds cover an enormous area.
and the salt is scraped off the surface
and is not as some people imagine,
mined in the same way as gold and
silver. The beds are about six to
for they are artificially made, and in
them ooze the salt. The only tools
which are employed to gather the salt
are a shovel and hoe. Then the
crude salt is loaded upon fiat cars and
run down by a locomotive into the
mills, where ii is pounded up into salt
for the table, for the dairy and for
such other purposes as needed. The
amount of salt that can be produced is
incalculable. Indeed, there is enough
to supply the civilized world for all
time to come, and il there were fall
ure of salt anywhere the Colorado
desert would be able to supply the de-
mand.
In broad day when the beds are
seen from the railroad cars. they look
like an immense inland ocean, whose
waters are of glaring white. upon
whose broad bosom rise innumerable
mirages from grelt city blessed with
churches and cathedrals, whose spires
are as numerous as the masts on the
River Thames of great ocean steam
ships and huge sailing vessels. In
early morning. when the sun is rising,
the scene is one of unsurpassed splen-
dor. for rs the rays strike the salty
crystals they flash forth various color.

STORIES FOR THE CHILDREN. THE
INTELLIGENCE OF DOG FETCH. Or
IGIN OF THE NAMES OF TIE
MONTHS. INTELLIGENT MONKEYS,
AND OTHER STORIES.
Fetch Bringing up the Cow.

Old Fetch" was shepherd dog, and
lived in the highlands Of the Hudson.
His master kept nearly dozen COWS,
and they ranged at will among the hills
during the day. When the sun was
low in the west his master would say
to Fetch, Bring the cows home" and
it was because the dog did his task so
well that he was called ''Fetch."
One sultry day he departed as usual
on his evening task. From scattered
shady and grassy hooks he at last
gathered all the cattle into the noun
tain road leading into the barnyard. A
part OF the road ran through a low,
moist spot, bordered by a thicket OF
black alder, and into this one of the
cows pushed her way and stood quietly.
The others passed on, followed some
distance in the rear by Fetch.
AS the cows approached the barnyard
gate, he quickened his pace, and hur-
ried forward as if to say, I'm here, at
tending to business" But his compla-
cency was disturbed as the COWS filed
through the gate. Helwhined a little,
and growled little, attracting his
masters attention. Then he went to
the high fence sur, Nunding the yard,
and standing on his hind feet peered
between two Of the rails. After look
ing at the herd carefully for time,
he started off down the road again on a
full run. His master now observed
that one OF the cows was missing, and
he sat down on rock to see what
Fetch was going to do about it.
Before long he heard the furious
tinkling of bell, and soon Fetch APP
peared bringing in the perverse COW at
rapid pace. The gate was thrown
open, and the COW went through it.
Fetch then lay down quietly to cool off
in time for supper.

TO BE CONTINUED.
An American Duchess,

A case of family diSsension, interesting
from the high-sounding title of the princi-
pal party concerned, and also from his
connection by marriage with American
finance. is Just now being widely discussed
in the American colony. Paris. Years ago
one of the many widows of the late sewing
machine inventor /. NJ. Singer espoused in
second wedlock Belgian violinist well
known to the concertgoers of Brussels and
of Antwerp. This gentleman invested q
portion of his wife's fortune in the pur-
chsse of an Italian title, having previously
taken the precaution of becoming q natur-
allied subject of the King of Italy, and
was afterward known a. the Duke de
Campofelice. Like most of the wearers
of newly acquired titles he was intensely
Duke, far more so than those of Norfolk
or De Luynes or Medina. Cell. remem-
Der once meeting him, writes a correspon-
dent, at the house of charming English
lady on whom he was making an after
noon call, it being her reception day. He
talked good deal about his wife, whom
lie invariably mentioned by her title.
1.-The Duchess, quoth he, twas not alto
gether pleased with our new ballroom,
but now that the decorations are finished
the Duchess is quite delighted with it.
The Duchess, indeed, suggested that we
should give ball Immediately, but pre-
fer closing the entertainments of the Paris
ian season with grand affair at orr house,
SO decided to put 1t off until the end of
May. AT least that was my advice TO the
Duchess" The ball came off, and a very
magnificent affair it was The invitations
were handed around Paris like ices upon
trays for at least two months beforehand.
Then the ducal pair gave several magnif-
cent private concerts, at which the best
artistcs of Paris appeared. But somehow
the company never quite came up 10 the
aspirations of the Duke and the Duchess,
or TO the quality of the entertainment. and
come of the titled gentlemen who con-
descended to become their guests INDUCED
in strange liberties. For instance, on the
night of the ball party of gay young So
ciety Frenchmen feed the servants to light
up the splendid stables of their host and to
lead out his fine horses for their inspection.
Now, the Duchess, formerly Mrs Singer,
is the mother of several children by her
first husband. Among these there is a
daughter, Miss Winnaretta Singer, now
about 90 or % years old and an amateur
artist Of some note, painting pictures occa-
sionally that are accepted at the salon.
Between the young lady and her titled
stepfaiher feud Of gigantic dimensions
has appeared to rage of late. The quarrel
has reached such pitch that Miss Singer
has left her home and has gone sG 6oard at
a convent. Lawyers have been engaged,
members Of the damsers family have been
summoned, and while the cause of the dis
sension continues TO be mystery to the
world at large, the noise Of the conaiss has
become distinctly discerpible.

Iowa prohibitionists are preparing to
reopen the prohibitory question in the
supreme court of the state. In 1883 the
supreme court decided that the prohib-
tory amendment to the state constitu-
ton was null and void on account O,
certain legislative informalities. Since
then the personnel of the supreme
court has almost entirely changed, and
1t is believed that majority Of the
members are now in favor Of prodibi-
tory amendment, and will reverse the
finding of 1883.
