Stylish Coats and Nantes For Old and
Young.
Practically speaking, there are no
new colors The dyer's art seems to
have attained its ultimatum; it can no
further go. Yet there are always
certain favorite hues which fashion
elects as her own, and since art and
fashion have declared themselves sworn
allies, the more artistic color is the
more fashionable it is.
Thus we have delightful range of cool
grays and soft browns; in the former,
nickel, granite, slate and leaden gray,
reminding one of damp, ivy-hung walls,
or recalling the glittering sheen of
white metals; the latterswoodsy, sug-
gestive tints, in succession of rich
cream, golden, Havana and seal
browns, bat all with that subdued soft
ness which harmonizes perfectly with
the lovely, tender spring green's,

sttawberry-leaf green is the next, and
Ivy deeper shade; and there are other
intermediate nameless tones of this

Rose tints in six or seven shades, any
one of which might be called old rose,
are known in the palest as rose, and so
on, deepening shade at every name, as

The heliotropes and lilacs are familiar
shades, needing no description, and the
regulation evening shades are still to be
had.
The Pompadour and Vatican colors are
likely to be much worn in light materi-
ais and ribbons for summer dresses, and
there is refreshing GOODNESS in their

The Value OF Platinum

The market value of platinum is at
present nearly equal to that of gold,
their respective prices being "a and
"a IS. Eighteen months ago, says the
Electrician, platinum was to be had for
about 80 shillings an ounce, and six
months ago the price was under e3
Apart from the question of a possible
corner" and the eYer-increasing de-
mand for platinum for electrical pur-
poses, this 166 per cent rise in price
within eighteen months may be at
tributed In large measure to the in
creased cost of production at the mines
in the Ural mountains, whence we draw
our chief supply of the metal The
owners of these mines, owing to their
large yield OF gold, were able to sell
platinum comparatively cheap; the
gold, however, is now becoming scarce,
and hence the platinum, which is still
plentiful, can no longer be sold at so
low figure. Platinum, besides being
used for the leading-in wires of glow
lamps, is largely used for electrodes in
electro-chemical work, and up to the
present no satisfactory substitute for it
has been fonnd so far as these applica-
tions are concerned"

One Of the Alleged Effects of AthIeticIsm
Among the Fair sex in Europe.
The English people, and particularly
English women, are greatly disturbed
at the statement recently made by an
American writer that there are very few
pretty girls in Europe. This writer re-
Gently made an extensive tour in the old
world, and in writing of his experiences
made the daring and positive assertion
that lone seldom sees a pretty girl in
Europe, and, if one does, she is sure to
be an American" And he further cru
ely declared that the only pretty girls
in England were the chambermaids at
the hotels. These statements, particu-
larly the latter one, were widely circu-
lated, and evoked great indignation and
warm denials, but withal they have
caused some discussion in London as to
whether beauty is really on the decline
in England. The well-known painter,
Ford MADDOX Brown, has warmly es-
poused the cause of the ibeled fair ones,
and he tells the Pail Mall Gazette that,
from his experience and wide observa-
ton, he is sure there are more pretty
girls to be seen than there used to be
and that young women are taller and
more handsome than formerly" He
attributes this to their living more &C
tive lives and taking much more exer-
else in the open air.

would drive the supporters of free
coinage into a third party. My opinion
is that free coinage of silver will be a
sharper issue by itself and worth more
to the democratic party than tariff re-
form. pnwisely this was made single
issue by Mr.. Cleveland In 1888. When
the force bill was before congress and
the whole country was alarmed, Mr..
Cleveland kept silence; but when the
silver bill whipped the force bill out of
the way, Mr.. Cleveland and his gold
friends broke silence and opened war
on the silver bill in the most insulting
language. They smothered the bill in
defiance of an almost unanimous demo-
cratic support. The anti-silver letter
Of Mr.. Cleveland was insulting to every
supporter of free coinage. Senator

A convenient and excellent method
of laundrying handl1erchiefs is extern
sively used by European lady travellers,

When properly washed, they should be
wrung out of either hot or cold rinsing-

will be beautifully smooth and dry. If
carefully done, fine muslin handker-
chief laundried in this way looks better
than when submitted to the smoothing
iron, and many travellers prefer to con-
tinue this method after the special EXT

A new process for manufacturing
biotting-paper consists In taking un-
sized paper as it comes from the paper
machine and exposing one or both of
the sides TO the disturbing action of
mechanical means for opening up it's
surface; for instance, TO the grinding or
abrasive action OF sand-paper, emery
wheels, wire brushes or to the action of
cards or scrapers. Such action separ-
ates and lifts the surface fibers This
process is said to produce a highly alb
sorbent or bibulous paper, especially
adapted for use as commercial blotting-
paper and for other purposes where an
absorbent paper is required, and having
its fibers separated and raised, and pre-
senting a velvety surface as distin-
guished from ordinary blotting-
BY this process plotting can be manu-
featured from any kind of paper, re-
gardless of the stock or material from
which it is made.

EXPRESSING BEcoARY.
fhe Great Work Done by Count Rumfc
In Bavaria.

The Great Work Done by Count Rumford
In Bavaria.
The Churchman, in connection with
the discussion of General Booths scheme
for the relief of the unfortunate and
criminal classes in England, prints a
very interesting article on the great
work which Count Runford, the Amer
lean citizen, accomplished in abolishinR
beggarJ In Bavaria one hundred years
ago. Count Rumford's achievements
are well worth recalling at this time,
when SO much attention is being given
to General Booths plans in England.
After the Count had made the soldiers
of the standing army in Bavaria useful
members of society in time of peace by
making the garrisons permanent, the
quarters comfortable and introducing
various industries for the soldiers to en-
gage in for pay, he began to reform the
beggars, and the story of his success in
that undertaking is a most entertaining
one.
Munich was practically at the mercy
OF mendicants, and the task which
Count Rumford set for himself was:
l. The complete extirpation of pauper-
ism from Bavaria Q. The Improvement
OF the condition of the paupsr class to
a degree which they themselves must
appreciate. 8. A complete removal of
the causes of pauperism which then
existed. 4. The restoration of the
paupers to the State as virtuous and
worthy citizens Those who had lived
by begging were made to engage in in
dustry and those unable to work were
supported without begging The people
found that there was no way to live
without toll, and the center of the new
system was the military work house, SO
called because the new industrial power
was used in the manufacture of army
clothing and supplies, and because it
finally passed under the control of the
War Department There was a school
for children in connection with the
work-house, and out of school hours
the little ones were taught to work,
and the teaching was accompanied by
the use Of so much tact that work be-
came delight. And SO the pauperism
which for generations had fed on in
dolence and ignorance was abolished in
whole country and with it the crime
which goes hand in hand with wretch
edness and misery.

New business for the -Postmas.er.

The people who want something for
nothing are very closely related to the
people who are always trying to send
strangers on strange errands for them.
There is woman living In Chicago,
says the Buffalo Express, who has a
husband engaged in some sort of bust
ness in Buffalo, and, of course. the poor
wife wants to know how he is behaving
himself. She probably has no friends
here, or, if she had, it wouldn't be safe
to ask them. So what does she do but
write, In a neat and ladylike hand, q
letter to the postmaster, and ask if he
won't taEe stroll down to where the
other half is supposed to be, and see
how and where he spends his evenings
Not receiving a reply very promptly,
she writes again. From all indications,
however, she is not likely to get salts
faction from that source.

AMERICANS GOOD FELLOWS.
Impressions of French Tourist In This

Generally speaking" writes a
French tourist in America, S. c. de Sois-
sons, to the Boston Transcript, 1.-The
average American is good fellow; he
helps you with advice and gives you the
benefit of his experience; he is kind and
humane. The proof of this have seen
at accidents many times in the streets
If there is some trouble with street
Gar, If it is derailed, all the passengers
jump out and help to push the car, as
sist the conductor in every way possible.
This is really very remarkable fact,
and it is great credit to the American
people, indicating the development Of
feeling.
II have seen the same accidents in
Paris, when the poor horses have fallen
on the slippery pavements Do you
think that any passenger jumped out or
helped the conductor to raise the horse?
Not at all The passengers remained
calmly seated in the omnibus and the
passers-by looked on laughingly and
made jokes about that which was not
funny at all.

lyeloped among the masses Of your poD-
