WEDO NOT THINK so.

The Wotch-T Toner says that the
toiling masses, the wealth.producing
part of our citizenP, are seventy-fye
per cent. worse off than they were in
the fall of 1866, We do rot think
50. To say this, is TO say that all
the labor done and all the energies
expended by the SOnthern people
during the last twenty-five years
have been more than worthless. This
we are not prepared to accept. 1t
may be true Of some districts in
New Eng and and peehsps some in
the West-that they are not as well

1t is true that the people have been
oppressed by taxation and thousand

The air Of mystery which always
prevails around the State department
is just now very much intensified,
owing to the fact that Mr.. Blaine

to the arbitration Of the Behring

pleased to think Or TO pretend TO
think that he has compelled Great
Britain to accept, although all the
rest of the worlds know
that he never made the slightest
progress toward a settlement OF the
dispute, until he returned to the
position maintained by Mr.. Bay ard
under the Cleveland administration
Negotiasios are not conducted at the
department.. Oh, no. There are
too many prying newspaper men
always on the watch, 80 whenever
Mr.. Blaine has any very important
business on hand it is transacted st
his private residence. The admins

If things 60 On for a few days Ion

past, there will not be a democratic
employee left in the Government

largely reduce the force shortly after
the adjournment of Congress, and
that reduction is now being made,
and the discharged people are nearly
all democrats, women who owe their
appointment to democrats.
The adage "a woman is at tue

mind by the claim Of female lob>

Graduating Dresscs.

Transparent white fabrics over color
chosen by an entire class will prevail in
some colleges and schools. An example is
cream white mousseline de sole over pale
pink satin. Pure white dresses are, how
ever, most used by girl graduates. An
aesthetic design for sheer white wool or
crepe gowns has graceful Grecian draperies
and long flowing sleeves, and should be
worn with a mortar board cap Of white
velvet Some charming girlish gowns Of
white organdy muslin are being made.
T&ey have the full French waist, with deep
Valenciennes lace gathered to fall from
the shirred half high round neck. The
large sleeves have a lace frill below the
elbow Three rutlles edged with narrower
Valenciennes trim the foot Of the straight
skirt, and a wide sash Of organdy gives the
finishing touch to these simple dresses.
Other muslin dresses are Of sheer nainsook,
made with a high belted waist buttoned in
the back.
Deeply crinkled japanese silk crepe, the
smooth crepe de Chine and China silk are
the white silks used for young girls
dresses. inexpensive dresses Of white
China silk for these young girls have the
high round bodice plated on the right
shoulder and shirred on the left, crossing
below, ana leaving 70 De ulleu out
with mousseline de sole draped in curves.
Home dressmakers will find a simple
model for these white China silks in a
shirred round high bodice hooked in the
back over fitted sateen lining. The full
ness at the waist is gathered on eight OF
ten cords, and that at the top is fatty
shirred in round yoke shape, with an inch
wide standing frill of doubled silk about
the low throated neck. The skirt cannot
be TOO plain, but must be Of becoming
/ length and fullness, and these differ &C

Dress Trimmings

within the scope of most women is a single
deeply pointed vandyked scroll of silk,
which is used literally on wooden gowns,
and can be had in all colors. The fringes

Of beads, and are in all kinds Of widths,

Effects of Music on AnimaIs.

The keeper Of a menagerie was once
asked whether the band had any effect on
the animals:
ITO be sure it does, =" said he; they like
it, and therefore it does them good. If you
were to come in and look at them in a
morning when the band is perambulating
the town, you would see many Of them,
the more savage beasts in particular, dull
and moping, and either sitting or lying in
their dens We who travel with wild
beasts cannot, Of course, give them the
room they ought to have, and being
cribbed up in show boxes they degenerate
for want of exercise, do what we will with
them. But it would be very much worse,
! reckon, if it were not for the music
When they hear the band strike up they
rouse themselves, and begin taking what
exercise they can, the beasts Of prey by
walking backward and forward, and the
others by repeating the movements nat
ural to them when at liberty. The birds
will begin to chatter and plume themselves
at the sound, and even the snakes at times
will uncoil and rear up, and convince the
people, who sometimes seem to doubt the
fact, that they are living creatures"

Custom of Dining at a Late Hour.


NJ Franklin explains in one Of his curions
essays on the private life of the forefathers
Of the present generation of Parisians that
the custom Of dining at a late hour is moth
ing but return to the habit Of the Seven
teenth century, and that the Eighteenth
century alone is responsible for all the
shifting and changing that has confused
and worried the would-be cheerful diner.
The only difference between the present
day and the Seventeenth century is that
what was then called supper is now known
by the grandiloquent name of dinner.
Charles V had his breakfast at 10 o'clock,
and only after having attended mass, and
his chroniclers report that he supped Gin a
very good time" The oldest French cook
cry book, dating from the Seventeenth cent
ury, fixes the breakfast hour at the same
time at which it is now fixed among the
upper classes. Nobody" says this old ora
Gle, should eat before the hour of 9, unless
he be i'll or feeble" 1t then goes on to put
down law the application of which at the
present time would put most people into
rather an awkward position.
To eat once a day, says The Menagier in
quaint old French, is to lead an angelic life
To eat twice is to be human.

New Things in Hosiery.

ANY color can be matched for stockings,
and solid colors are worn. The chief nov
city lies in the somewhat elaborate silk
clocks which are embroidered on the out
side Of the leg. In Paris there is a great
feeling for a return to white stockings, but
England would adopt such notion slowly.
There is, however, a compromise-namely
the Maggie, with white toes, heels and the
upper portion of the leg the foot and well
above the ankles black. The plan is ap-
proved Of on the score OF cleanliness, but it
has very hybrid appearance. However, it
is supposed that the white is invisible. The
prettiest stockings for evening wear are OF
silver gray silk with openwork fronts
They go beautifully with the fashionable
silver kid shoes. Shot silk stockings are a
good deal worn. The newest stockings fol-
brides are of ribbed white silk

Chamois skins should never be left in
water after using, but should be wrung out
and hung up to dry, spread out carefully so
as to leave no wrinkles; neither should they
be used to wipe off colors, as paint stains
form hard spots and help the skin to wear
out sooner. Chamois was never intended
to wipe the face and hands with, and this
should be avoided also, as the skins are liza
BILE to become greasy thereby. Never put a
chamois skin into warm water-nothing
above lukewarm, as it will curl up, become
thick, tough and useless. To bring back
chamois that has been ruined by grease,
paint, or has been used as a towel until it
has all the resemblance Of a dirty old rag,
the following is recommended: Take a
bucket of clean water making it middling
strong with ammonia, soak the skin in it
over night, and the next morning rinse ii
out in pure water, after which use freely Of
pure white CASTLE soap and water. 1t is
claimed that the process will insure n very
good skin again, available for considerable
further service The whole operation, aside
from the soaking need take no longer thar
a quarter Of an hour, and in reality the Skin
after this treatment is, according to Hide
and Leather, better than at first, having
become thoroughly broken in and free from
lint and other impurities.
