NEW YORK, Jan. .. 1S9l.-One Of the
most fascinating bits Of feminine frippery
which it ever entered into the head of mo-
dlste to conceive is the tea-gown. From
the first it appealed directly 10 the hearts of
all womankind. for it needed but the
briefest OF experiments to convince even the
most doubling that the new sublimated
wrapper was calculated to make plain
wearer almost pretty, and to turn pretty
one into creature altogether seductive and
bewitching. So it was universally adopted
and though 1t is now no novelty, its hold on
popular fancy has steadily increased with
each season since its Introduction. That it
Is an article of apparel which is as appro-
pirate TO winter as summer is also an argu-
ment in its favor, and another is that it is
susceptible of so many notifications and
variations that it does not become mOnuto-
nous or hackneyed. One of the latest
caprices in this line is the Cleopatra tea
gown-so christened in honor of the divine
Sarah's' triumph as Egypts wonderful sor-
ceress. 1t is from Redfern design, and is
extremely graceful in shape, as is shown by

A STORM SONG.

Darkly and heavily the storm-cIouds lower,
Closely the gray fleece gather and glover.
Cold blows the keen wind from the west,
Swiftly the wild bird flies to its nest
Down drops the soft crystal shower,
Gladdening the heart OF each thirsty flower.
Up quickly rises each bright little head,
Green springs the grass from its earthly bed,
To thank the bountlful Father ruling above,
Who sends down his blessings in mercy and love

A DREAM OF ooNsrANcY.

And your lips were roslIy beaming,
Your eyes were as blue as to-day,
When met you last night in my dreaming
And you passed on and vanished away.
All, methought was wretched, rorsaken
By every loved being but you;
Your kindness alone was mistaken
Your friendship unTailingIy true
Not a word, so l dreamed had we spoken
And sought not your side to be bIest;
But a smile rs you passed me gave token
That you were not cold like the rest.
Then saw through tear-lit vista
You borne to the portals OF day
But not till our lips met and kissed-ah,
Then you, too, faded away.
The night breeze that famed me was tuneless
The stars 1ckered out Of my view,
And the thick, black midnight was moonIess
When Heavens gate closed upon you.
Twas vision. and brighter than Aidenn
In my window the Weakening beam,
Though unkissed in the flesh is the maiden.
Kissed but TO be lost in the dream.

An, do not call her dead!
AIth Ough the voice We loved to hear
Is quiet now,
And sweetest notes that thrilled our hearts
Have ceased to flow;
Still from the cold aud Iifeless clay
That did imprison.
Her spirit to thos heavenly climes
Has now arisen,
And music sweeter far than earth
Has ever given
May yet fall on our listening ear
If tuned to heaven
Ah do not call her deadi
Deeds that her Kind hands have wrought
Can never die
Pure lives, sweet thoughts and noble deeds
Perfume the sky.
Her memory still in hearts shall live
A lasting ray,
And be constant guiding star
To brighter day.
We Will not say farewell, sweet friend
From falrer cline;
Thou yet witt echo In our souls

And sailor suubeams laugh enough
To make me dream that tickle sea

In this sweet sheltered snuggery
From turmoils of old oceans breast
And yon fair town, uprising white
Its beauteous cOlumned masonry
Its domes and steeples cleaning bright
Its stately streets are fair to see.
Sweet home thy likeness brings again
Seasons of joy that now are gone;
Seasons of rest. of love, OF pai1.

One day, sitting at my window
Watching the fRst-falling rain,

On secret, hidden pain;
Musing, slghi e, woudr:ng, longing
On that sorrows seorching flame
Would it have the power forever

Is it sentimental nonsense
Thus 10 nurse my hidden grief?
Would the probe Of others reason
Give the wounded heart reIiefs
Mayhap, were 1t barred twould heal It,
But dread the surgeons knife;
Il is wound so in my heartstrinzs,
Easier 'twere 10 part with LIE.
Sorrow borne for years In silence
Is not always wholly paint
There's Joy that mlng!es with it
Sorrow nobiy borne is gain.
For tender. holy pity
Then for others we can fesl:
Though We msy not cure our sorrows.

In a Mexican Prison.

KANSAS CITY, April IA special to
the Journal from Wichita, KS, says:
The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of James Bellew was cleared
up to-day by that gentleman's return
home. Mr.. Bellew is commission
merchant and started for Mexico by the
way of Galveston month ago. Hespent
about week in Galveston and then left
for Mexico, since which time nothing
had been heard of him until to-day. At
Paso Del Norte Mr.. Ballew rendered
a Mexican a ten dollar gold piece in ex-
change for some purchases. The Next
can claimed that the coin was only
five dollar piece. A dispute arose and
the Mexican called on the police and
had Bellew arrested. The prisoner was
thrown into Jail and was denied all COM
munication with his friends or with the
American consul. He says that he was
subjected to all sorts of indignities and
harsh treatment. His health has been
shattered by confinement in prison and
he intends that the American govern
ment shall procure satisfaction from the
Mexican government.

Colonel James M. Emery, Veder B.
Payne and r. L. Walker, assigned by
the honorable secretary of the Interior
to allot lands in severalty to the Sac
and Fox Indians, have got fairly to work.
Some Fox allotments have already been
made. Popo Stanley, an Industrious
and educated Sac Indian, was the first
to have his land marked out and as
signed to him. He is buying implements
and seeds and will cultivate large part
of his land the coming season. AS
many of the old cornerstones have been
defaced or destroyed as the angle has
varied considerable since the survey of
this country, made some seventeen
years ago, it will be necessary to re-
survey and make field notes for the
same. This work must be done in about
three months. Two surveying expedi-
tions have already made arrange
ments and left this point for
work. One went north to begin opera
tions in the vicinity of the old Turkey
Track Ranch headquarters, and the
other went south to begin work at the
southeast corner of the nation. In the
meantime, while the survey is in pro.
gress, the allOtments will continue, but
the boundaries cannot be definitely de-
termined until the new survey is COM
Dleted.

to study the simple little brands on the

there is nicer and more exact method
OF naming the shade ''Claro." for in

which is the darkest, heaviest cigar
made. The Colorado Maduro" and
"Maduro" shades are the most sought
for in the best grades of domestic cigars.
while consumers of imported brands run
to ''Maduro" and "Oscuro."
1t seems difficult to get a really good
imported cigar that is not dark colored
All of them are strong, and while many
men affect the darkest. high priced
kinds, | believe that but few of them
really enjoy them. AS good cigar as
any man need smoke can now be bought
for ten and fifteen cents. A few experts
may ind value and solace in a tin foil

when anything over quarter is paid il
IS money thrown away for ornaments

these expensive sorts. Chicago Journal,
