her shoulders and cut a horizontal wedge
in her profile; the upper sleeve will fange
out at the elbow, and the hat may cut the

For weeks the blouse has been making its
way to favor, and spring will see it in full
bloom 1t is long, belted over-garment
reaching nearly to the knee. It has no
seams at back or front, and is double
breasted, or fastened invisibly. Some
times the skirt is slashed twice in the front
and twice in the back, but never IN the
middle of the back. The long sleeve
wrinkles along the arm and is close to the
wrist, and there may be a loose hanging up
per sleeve. The modiste will tax ingenuity
to produce variations upon it. She will at
times cut it open down the front, over a
long vest, and this will necessitate fitted
seams in it She will box plat the back;
and she will gather it on the shoulders.
When heat forbids the high muffled neck,
she will make turnover collar, or one
that lies fiat and spreads out over the shoul-
ders. Finally, the upper sleeve, which the
peasant devised for warmth, she will slash,
and puff, and catch up about the shoulder,
and transform into an ornament.

Eighteen Soldiers Moved Down.

Eighteen Soldiers Moved Down.
From London Globe.
One of the most interesting strokes
of lightning on record occurred at
Bourges, France, on May 4th last, of
which French scien titic journal has
now given accurate particulars. On
that day eighteen men OF the 37th
regiment of artillery were marching
in the polygon outside of Bourges un.
der the conduct of Chief Artificer
Beauvais. A heavy shower made
them run for shelter, but in doing go
a flash of lightning literally moved
them down, with the exception of
Bouvesu, who marched behind. The
three first ranks quickly regsined
their feet, but four men remained in
sensible and were carried to the hos
pital, where one, named BOnveau,
who had walked q little apart, died.
The clothes of the victim were, as
usual, torn and his boots burst open.
BOuveau was struck on the head, and
his KEPT and hair were burned. The
discharge passed by the right ear 10
the shoulder and lett haunch, then
down the inner surface of the left leg.
The iron nails of the boot made good
contact with the ground but the
leather OF the sole appears to have
offered great resistance, for tine dis
charge left the boot at a point between
the heel and the upper.
