mortal might well pose as walking
advertisement for some ribbon counter.
The truth Is that, male or female, the
human eye is pleased with bits OF bright
color wherewith to break the monotony
OF modern attire In the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries the mall biped was
the gaudiest creature under the sun,
and his costumes were literally si,ken
suits, heavy with lace and ruffies; but
this is essentially woman's age, and man
has been obliged to simplify his attire In
order to acccntIate the magniiicence OF
ours.
IL may be said that lace and ribbon
have divided the honors this season,
says our New York fashion writer, and
the prospect is that these two styles OF
garniture will maintain their popularity
during the autumn and winter So long
rs skirts are made up plain and fiat,
lace and ribbon, artistically applied, be-
come necessary to soften the severity OF
outline. / see broad Scotch ribbon used
with exquisite effect for centuries, and
on one skirt counted twelve rows OF
narrow ribbon encircling 1t at the bot
tom. Corsages continue to be made up
with lace basques, and there is some
times cascade of the same lace at the
throat. The wide sleeves are also fin
ished with lace.
A siver-gray crepe de chine had its
plain fat skirt charmingly relieved by a
ruche Of satin in the same toze, and the
corsage vest, made with revers, opened
on chemisettc Of corn -colored moussel-
inc de sole.
A very simple but extremely stylish
reception dress Is pictured in my initial

silver-grayg Goth, with a pIeated plas-
tron and draped sleeves OF figured silk
in harmony; broad passementerie girdle
with graceful pendant ends.
My second illustration represents a
worry pretty costume for young miss,
and may be made up in silk or wooden
material, with opcn-work embroidery

THERE is no idea that should so

have to take care of themselves.

A Good Mans Dilemma.

The superintendent of a Pittsburg
Sunday school was told by the librarian
a few Sabbaths ago that two or three
playing cards had been found in one of
the books returned.
Taking the painted pasteboards in
his hand the good man delivered to the
school lecture bearing on the subject,
and closed by holding up the cards and
remarking;
''The scholar who left these in his
book may step forward and get them. :"
Singular as it may seem, no one was
anxious to claim the property, and the
superintendent placed the pasteboards
in the breast pocket of his Prince Al
bert coat.
Later in the day he was walking
along the street with the pastor of the
church. His brow becoming heated he
drew forth his handkerchief from the
inside pocket of his Prince Albert and
the cards fluttered to the pavement.
AS the pastor had not been at Sun
day school and knew nothing of the
previous occurrence it was necessary
for the superintendent to enter into
an exhaustive explanation. .--Pittsburg
Chronicle-Telegraph.

Coffee Cup barometer.

People will undoubtedly be glad to
hear of a way by which they can ascer-
tain, by the inspection of their morn
ing cup of coffee, what the weather is
going to be for the day. A cup of pure
coffee, with the addition of a lump of
sugar, forms an excellent barometer
The sugar should be put into the coffee
without stirring, and a moment after
ward quantity of bubbles, due to the
air contained in the sugar, will be seen
to rise to the surface of the liquid.
If the bubbles collect in the middle
of the cup the weather will be fair; if,
on the contrary, they leave the center
and adhere to the sides of the cup,
forming a ring of bubbles, with a clear
space in the middle, there will be rain
If they scatter themselves indifferently
on the surface the weather will be va
riable, while cluster of bubbles at one
side of the cup indicates rain. No one,
apparently, has attempted to explain
the connection between the behavior
of the bubbles and atmospheric condi-
tions but it is said that the indications
of the coffee cup barometer generally
agree with those of a mercurial barome-
ter placed near by.-Exchange.

FENCING IN THE STATE.
The Crabb Fence Syndicate Fencing
the State Reform School
Grounds.

During the past spring a company
composed of Hon. NJ l.. Chamber
lin, John Patterson, l. S. Smith
and w. NJ Crabb, to be known as
the Crabb Iron Fence Co., was or.
ganized in Salem, aud the work OF
manufacturing was at once pro-
ceeded with. The fence thus turne
out is what is known as the Crabb
patent fence, composed of iron posts
driven into the ground to a depth ol
iwo feet, stretched with wire of any
desired kind. Mr.. Crabb is the pat
entee, and has come here from Iowa
10 manufacture and place his fence
on the market. This will give em-
plOyment to many hands, and add q
considerable industry to our city.
A good number of these fences have
already been erected, the latesl
being that about the state reform.
school which is now giving employ
ment to gang of ten men. About
two miles have already been put up
here, and several miles more will be
required before the job is finished.
This fence stands firm. 1t cannot
lie inju ed by fire, Floods do not af-
feet it. The wind cannot blow it
down and it will not decay. 1t is
ornamental in its plainest style, and
can be made in an endless number of
beautiful designs. It's indestructible
character makes it the most desir-
able fence on earth today, fol
although it may not be the cheap.
est fence in the start it is bound to
prove SO In the long run, for it re-
quires no rebuilding.
Another gang of men commence
work near Jefferson this week, and
contracts are being closed for it il.
many other place.. A few good liv,
men could s" cure profitable employ
ment by taking hold of this enter
prise, as building territory can be
had on reasonable terms. 1t is a
new thing, and the best of its kind
in the market. Wide awake prop
erty owners want it, and its merits
need only to be presented to con-
vince them that is what The Y
need. Farmers should investigate
this fence before they build. The
company has its headquarters at the
Cook hotel in this city, where
samples can be seen set up, also
at Willis & Chamberlain office on
Court street.

DOUBLE FIRE IN PORTLAND.

DOUBLE FIRE IN PORTLAND.
PORTLAND, Or, Aug. ia fire
occurred early this morning in the
oil refinery and store house Of Kel
ley, Dunno and Co., corner ofeleven
tn and X streets, completely des
troying the building and its con
tents. When the fire had almost
burned out flames issued from the
broom factory of Zan Bros. one
block away and soon this building
was a mass of flames. Fortunately
there vas no wind and the fire was
coufined to the factory which was
also destroyed total loss Will reach
seventy thousand dollars. At eleven
o'c,ock fire was not wholly ex-
tinguished but was under control
Later estimate places the loss al
fifty thousand fully insured. 1t is
thought by Kelly, Dunno & Co,
that the fire is of incendry origin.
DIR. LINZ sLEY PASSES AWAY.
PORTLAND, Aug. 12-Dr Linds-
ley died at l O'Clock this morning,
without regaInlng consciousness.
Throughout the entire day the at
tending physicians entertained very
little hope of his recovery, although
it was thought that ifa few hours
more passed the injured gentleman
might take a turn for the better.
But unfortunately the much-looked-
for change in his condition failed to
take place, and he expired at the
above mentioned hour surrounded
by his family and friends. He APP
passed away without pain,
and failed to recognize any of the
anxious ones grouped around his
bedside.

Babies That Are Safe.

The Flathead mother makes her pa
poose into a round bundle, with folds
of bark and thongs of deerskin, and
carries it in a wooden receptacle some
thing like a canoe, slung on her back,
with little penthouse or shade pro-
jecting over the baby's face.
1t is worth noting that this complete
swaddling of infants is almost universal
among barbarous and civilized peoples
who dwell in subtropical or temperate
climates. 1t is done not so much (or
not only to keep the, child warm, but
to prevent it from scratching itself
from moving about and hurting itself
and from bruising itself or breaking its
tender bones if it should chance to fall.
A baby, however, that is done up tight
and fiat as a redskin baby is, must be
almost as safe on top shelf as ON the
ground. d.-Strand Magazine.

Horse sense.

There is trick practiced by one of
the west end tow horses on the Cam
bridge street hin which the Listener has
no doubt has been noticed by great
many people, and which is well worth
being put on record. The horses stand
in line at the foot of the hill, each,
when he returns from a tow, taking a
position at the rear. In this way each
horse gets his turn at towing.
