Nothing Good to Eat.

Necessaries, delicacies, luXuries-an
such words have different meanings in
different ears and under different cir
cumstances When Mr.. Seward was in
Alaska says his son, the people were
naturally very DESTROYS to treat him
handsomely.
Some amusement was occasioned at
table, one day, by the remark of one Of
the ladies that they had been much
disappointed at obtaining no beef by
the last steamer, as all were looking
for steaks.
80 we can offer you nothing but the
fare of the country, Gov. Seward" she
said.
But that is excellent" answered he.
20, no; we have nothing but venison,
and grouse, and wild ducks, and salmon,
and trout

THE AUTUMN BODICE.
1t is to BE Rich in Material and Attract
i've in Design.


The autumn bodice bids fair to be
thing of variety and splendor, says a
fashion writer. Foremost in the ranks
of novelty is the English corselet waist
1t is aimed to make this conceit, the
corselet portions buttons or hooks over
a loose blouse, as quaint and rich look
ng as possible The endeavor succeeds
so well in some instances that it would
seem as though the corslet was copied
from some old portrait painted in the
medieval times. The idea is aptly il
Illustrated in freshly imported tea
gown. The corselet buckles with
rich, antique silver clasp over blouse
of pale, sea-foam green chiffon, and is
itself made of hunters green velvet,
wrought curiously with silver threads
and encrusted with cut stones, simu-
rubies to lend brilliant color. A favor
tie way of making indoor bodices is to
cut the material on the cross and to fit
snugly to the figure without a single
dart. The low cut neck is rufhed gener-
ously with wide lace that narrows and
curves it's graceful way into the waist
line. And what lace season it is, all
grades and patterns are used in lavish
profusion. A new French lace called
Lyons, showing a rich silk embroidery
raised on a stout net, is winning admir-
alton, and will be used extensively on
handsome cool weather gowns. Jetted
lace is the trimming, par excellence, for
black faille and lace toilets, and the
winter ball rooms will be respondent
with laces, black and white, powdered
with glistening stuffs and studded with
tiny Jewels. Quite novel, and as ex-
pensive as it is new, is a rich cream
white guipure, sprinkled with cut jet
This makes peculiarly striking trim
ming for tea or reception dresses. For
tunate owners of rich black Brussels
point are using it with great effect on
white and pale-toned silk gowns. A
mistake easily made and one that is in
variably frowned upon by the connois-
seur is the misuse of lace. This usually
occurs by reason of too much generos-
ity. An over-abundance of lace on a
costume cheapens it sadly. - Detroit

Fall slender faring vases of pale
green glass sprinkled with tiny sprays
of gilt flowers are among the things
new and lovely.
Rings for men, with seals like checker
boards, are observed. The S uares are
simulated by alternate diamonds and
sapphires embedded in the gold.
Instead of cut-glass and silver
mounted ice-pails for the table, we have
egg-shaped cut-glass bowls held in tri-
pods of repousse silver and without
handles.
An instance of the ingenious use of
accidental forms is seen in slender
shell, beautifully irridescent, which
looks like the body of a fish. The shape is
completed by a diamond head and tail.
A slender ivory thermometer was
seen framed in wreath of silver
chrysanthemums and mounted on a
slender standard. Other thermometers
similarly mounted are set in frames of
delicate scroll work.

which an American traveller in Siberia
saw performed by native of that coun-

were swollen and boots shrunken to
such an extent that we despaired of
getting them off at all. No plan which
our ingenuity could devise was found
to answer. When all had failed, our
invaluable Yakov came to the rescue,

LOST CHILDREN.
How Waits and Strays Are Cared for in q
Large City.

WY
Between three and four thousand
children get astray during a year in the
city of New York, but the system of
caring for the little ones is so admir-
ably arranged that you never hear Of
a child dying in the streets for lack of
food or shelter, or failing to reach its
parents or guardians, unless it has been
purposely set astray.
The place to look for stray children is
at the police building on Mulberry
street, on the top floor which has come
to be known as the Sky Parlor," and
they are brought there from all parts
of the city, often as many as thirty a
day. The children range from toddlers
year old to those six and eight wears.
Some of them are SO little that they are
not able to speak plain, and others are
so bewildered that they do not remem-
Der even the number of the street
where they live, or the part of the city.
1t is on fine days that the largest
number of children is registered at the
''Sky Parlor'; on rainy or very cold
days there may not be one.
Children get astray in many ways,
and the largest number is brought in
when a circus parades through the
town, for the little folks run after it,
and often run along with the crowd for
dozen blocks. not thinking that they
are getting so far away from home.
They also follow hurdy-gurdy men and
organ-grinders, national or other
parades, and frequently follow a crowd
when policeman is taking d prisoner
to the station-house.
Some children leave their homes ow-
ing to the cruelty of their parents or
guardians, and scores of little boys and
girls every year run away from homes
at points outside the city, the conductor
passing them along when they say they
have no money. But the thoughtful
conductor questions the child carefully,
and if he finds that it is running away
from home he takes or sends it back;
or else, on arriving in the city, has it
sent to the home of the $50
ciety for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Children" But number
of the waits found astray in the streets
are put there by parents and guardians,
who want to go off to Coney Island or
elsewhere for a day or two. An officer
who has charge of stray children makes
this statement:
There are hundreds of parents in
New York who purposely put their
children astray in the streets. A moth
er, father, or guardian sets out for the
ferry, bound for some place out of town,
and when police station is neared, the
guardian or parent stops some one in
the street and says, 4 have found this
child in the street: will you take it to
the station, as | have to catch the ferry
at once The child is too little to eX-
plain, and is led off by the stranger to
the station, where it is registered. This
thing" the officer continued, lis done
to such an extent that it has become a
nuisance to the police department. OF
course, when the parent or guardian re-
turns, the child is reclaimed, and many
fictitious tears are shed aid false kisses
given to the little one. -Harpers Young

kAFFIR SMOKERS.
They Take the Lighted End of Cigar in
Their Mouths.

Their Mouths.
Englishmen, when they light cigar,
do not-at least if they are sober-put
the lighted end into their mouth; but
even this strange practice may be said
to be on the way fither. Col. Knollys
has taken first lesson from the Kim
berley Katfirs, and has given an account
of the experiment which is eminently
calculated to excite the curiosity of
those who run after new fashions.
These interesting South Africans are
extremely fond of cigars, but their
habit is to smoke them in the manner
described. When this popularity was
first mentioned to Col. Knollys he sup
posed that his informant was cracking
joke; but to his amazement he saw
numerous instances. The native, it is
stated, first lighted his cigar by the Or
binary method, then turning it around
he deity arranged the hotly glow
ing end in his mouth, and tucking away
his tongue in his cheek, proceeded to
inspire and expire the fumes, very
gradually consuming the whole cigar.
The smokers assured their visitor that
the process was warm, comforting, de-
licious and far superior to the usual
mode. On subsequent trial, Col Knoll
lys found, he says, that the knack is
less difficult to acquire than might be
supposed. London News.

"She is beyond hope" | replied.

And this man fell to sobbing; then he
arose and went out staggering like a
drunken man. That same evening |
toll the countess that a stranger had
been to me to ask after her health.
She seemed touched, and told me the
tale have just told you. She added:
This man. whom | do not know,
follows me like shadow. | meet him
every time | go out. He looks at me
very strangely, but he has never
spoken to me"
She reflected, and then added:
Look, there he is below my win
dow.'
She rose from her sofa, drew the
curtain aside and showed me the man
who had called upon me, sitting on a
bench on the promenade, his eyes
raised to the hotel He saw us, rose
and walked away without once turning
his head. SO it was that took part in
strange and ineomprehensible cpl
sode; in the love of these two beings
who were quite unknown to one
another.
He loved with the devotion of a res
cued animal, grateful and devoted I'M

me: "1ow is she?" knowing that ! had
guessed. And he wept bitterly when
he had seen her pass, paler and weak
er every day.
She said to me:
singular man, and it seems to me l
have known him for years"
And when they met she returned his
bow with grave and charming smile

was happy to be loved with such con-
stancy and respect, with this exagger-
ated poesy, with this devotion ready
for all hazards, and yet, faithful to her
obstinate though high-minded resolve,
she absolutely refused to see him, to
know his name, or to speak to him.
She said: mo, no, that would spoil
our strange friendship. We must re-
main strangers to one another"
AS to him, he was of certainty a
kind of Don Qhixote, for he took no
steps to approach her. He was de.
termined to keep to the letter the alb
surd promise he had made to her in the
train.
Often during the long hours of weak
ness she rose from her sofa to draw
back the curtains and look if he were
there below the window. And when
she had seen him, always immovably
seated on his bench, she returned to
her couch with smile on her lips.

Mn You Vote Right.

While the farmers are rejoicing as a

nations history, and because OF the fact
that prices are vastly more renumera-
tive than for many years, they should
not forget that the improvement In this
condition is the result OF their own in
dustry supplemented by favorable natu-
raj conditions; that no credit Is due TO
the lawmakers of the land. As the mo
mCntary conditions that deprecated
the value OF farm commodities In tho
past still remain in operation, aud that
but for an almost unparelied failure OF
crops in Europe, and consequent de-
mand for all that America can spare,
the price OF all staple farm commodi-
ties would have fallen to rates utterly

the cause OF your prosperity, and as
there is no assurance that crops will
not be bountiful in Europe during the
succeeding years present prices cannot
be accepted AS any augury OF the future.
Nature will compensate for the lean
year with bountiful one, and then the
American farmer will stand face to face
with the manipulatOrs of finance, and
OF commodities, with the winning
cards in the hands Of the speculative
clesses. The imperative duty Of every

Are taxes lower? Have mortgages

land, OF wheat and corn, Of cotton, OF
everything you raise, compare with the
