on the part Of the Muscovite. If they are so
hard up why did they not salt down the 8, 600
horses? Horse steaks are long shot better
than death by starvation.

Now we learn that Roger @. Mills has a
new and sweeping tariff reduction firebrand
to throw into the coming Congress. Mr..
Mills should be wiser. If the Democratic
House is to make good impression it
should give its attention to cutting down
and leave tariff tinkering to
that distant day when it has the power to
pass it. Mr.. Mills. might probably ponder
the fact that the tariff bills worked ont by
his genius are the precursors of Republican

NEW STYLES IN GLOVES.

newest of all are the long mousquetaire
suede gloves in the new orchid color which
is little pinker than the heliotrope of last
year. These gloves will be very much in
favor to wear either with black evening
dresses or with costumes of the same
charming tint.
In the department of gloves for visiting
and afternoon wear we find the same mex
haustible variety. The Paris suede ascot"
gloves are, rs their name implies, the ideal
for the races. These are in all the prettiest
shades, are Of six button length and are
stitched in wide points with silk of their
own color or black. Gray suede gloves have
been brought out with black crochet hacks
four buttons are more worn than are six in
the day time on ordinary occasions. Ladies
who like novel devices will be particularly
pleased with the new perfumed suede
gloves. These are fragrant with orris root
and the perfume is imperishable.
Gauntlets are generally adopted In the
country, in reindeer and chevrette, and
now it is possible to match the most tender
colorings in drab or gray, or indeed any
tone. White English doeskin is gaining
in favor and so are the new sack gloves,
drawn in at the wrist with elastic. Driving
gloves are to be had of great many kinds
such as the dogskin, with amber buttons
the gray doeskin, stitched in red, with an
improved thumb-piece, and the soft button
less gauntlets, all most serviceable and ex-
cellent. For ordinary wear there is no
doubt that the Russian leather gloves are
most serviceable. These are exquisitely
cut, and fit well down into the spaces be-
tween the fingers, so that their general ap-
pearance on the hand is remarkably good.

There is revival of dainty, old fashioned
muslins for cotton dresses for summer OF
corded dimities, of lawns, batistes and or
candies. These sheer fabrics will rival
without displacing the thicker ginghams,
percales, cotton cheyiots and sateens. In
thin fabrics the first choice is for those with
clear white grounds strewn with flowers
o. branching designs in pink, lilac or
blue, but there are also many with dark
colors as we'll rs with black grounds. The
new dimities are thinner than those for

stripes powdered with colored figures
Striped lawns are in great favor in broad

A Curious Story,

Some time ago perceived that a solitary
hen was frequenting the lawn in front of
it, and had apparently withdrawn from
the society OF her fellow fowls at the back.
Whether she boarded at home, returning
TO the poultry yard for her meals, or con-
tented herself with foraGing in the flower
beds and grass of the garden, do not
know, but she certainly had shaken the
dust of her former residence from her
claws completely at other times. One day
| perceived an unusual commotion and
agitation in a handsome pine tree, whose
branches sweep the lawn, and to my amaze
ment beheld one of our cats engaged with
this hen in the liveliest game of hide-and-
seek, running in and out under the tree
after each other, the cat crouching, wrig-
Cling and darting beneath the branches,
and the bird occasionally hopping up on
one of them, whittier the beast pursued
her. At first thought it was war, sudden
death and murder; but presently perceived
it was peace, and the pursuit of innocent
amusement with the friendliest good un-
derstanding. After this ] watched them,
and to my infinite amusement saw this
game repeated over and over again. Then
these curious companions took to walking
sedately side by side (almo5t what you
might call arm in ARM round the gravel
walk, aud finally settled amicably down
together on the nice hot glass frame of
one of the vegetable pits in the kitchen
garden. Here / have seen them sitting,
winking and blinking in the sun, appar-
emily perfectly happy in mind and body,
until suddenly the hen would turn sharp
ly round and give vicious peck at the
cats face or breast (what it had said to
shock or offend her did not hear), upon
which the four footed feline creature, hurt
no doubt in all its feelings, slid down and
maie off rather shamefacedly, the biped,
the feathered fowl, remaining in undivided
possession, though apparently in ruffled
dignity. of the comfortable hot glass.
