sToUT.HEARTED WOMEN.

The life of the West is one to induce
heroism on the part Of both men and
women. The latter are often left alone
for days in the little sod cabins or in the
dug-outs that dot the hillsides along the
water courses. They learn to be self
reliant and strong-natured. There arc
in every settlement events recorded, any
one of which would in Massachusetts,
New York or Ohio give the actor o
Statewide reputation, but which in the
far West are not thought of seriously.
With the difficulties of outlaws, Indians
and the terrific forces OF nature to com.
bat, it is remarkable that more tragedies
do not occur. But the women OF the
plains realized when they came from
the old homes in the East that they were
coming to face hardship and danger, and
the elements Of bravery iE their nature
came out strongly, and whenever the
test came there was the hearty and hardy
spirit to meet 1t. Much as the men have
done to develop the country, the women
have done more, aud the wives aad
daughters deserve all possible credit.
Here and there deed stands out in re-
lief, but for the most part the stories of
the heroines are confined to their imme.
diate neighborhoods and never reach the
outside world.-St. Louis Globe Demo.

Few of us give our critics the attentions

Fierce disputes arise occasionally in
which both parties are right. ig

It is great deal easier to jump out OF

There are too many men who sneer at

A great man does not swaggsr or strut,

of comfort seems to be the privilege Of
sitting around in his shirt sleeves.

ODD PILLOWS.

Pillows made of sheep-skin, pig-skin
aud goat-skin are Chinese oddity. The
ends are of wood, cut almost square,
with the sides slightly followed out.

boo rods. The skin is drawn over the
affair, fastened at both ends, and is then
carefully dried. It is then colored, Or
namented and vanished. The pillows
vary in size from 3x3x12 to 6x6x19
inches. After you have used them sew
eral times they are very easy and com.
Portable. As they are hollow the air
chamber keeps them much cooler than
are pillows made Of feathers, down or
sea-weed. They have another peculiar
ity. The high tension of the skin con.
verts them into sounding boards and
enables persons lying upon one Of
them to hear sounds otherwise inaudible.
One of very high tension and fine
quality of skin enabled the ordinary man
to hear the ticking of watch at five
feet and to understand a conversation
carried on in whispers at the other end
of room, six yards away.-'The Up.

COnnoisseurs in Perfumes.

The learned in scents claim that they
can distinguish and name each element
of any compound odor, just as the
musician can discriminate and trace the
sound of the various instruments that
are rendering the crowded symphony.
Doubtless these learned ones could dis
tinguish, on coming into lady's draw
ing rooG, all the various breaths i'm
prisoned in the pct.pourri jar-the rose
leaves, the cassia buds, the orange
flowers, the orris root, the vanilla, the
the benzonl and cinnamon and musk
and alcohol, and all the innumerable
rest. But to the ignorant in such fine
points the pleasure is perhaps just as
keen, let the learned deny 1t as they
may. Yet many think themselves &C.
complished in this branch whose educa-
ton is still very far from flashed. We
remember, at the time OF a famous
Oriental exhibition in this country, when
people were possessed with the delights
of the altar OF roses to be bought there,
that the Oriental stock of altar OF rose
ran out, and it was replenished from a
dealers stock of oil of geranium, and the
sale continued just as before, entirely
undiminished, and with warm adulation
of the strange rich sweetness of the real
Turkish and Persian altar of roses.
And,. although the oil of geranium is
undoubtedly rich perfume, yet the
crafty Orienta!s must have laughed in
their loose sleeves at the way in which il
took the place OF the at once far richer
and more delicate, and four times more
costly, object of the bulbuls worship -
Hrpsrs Bazaar.

is her latest appropriation from mascu-
line attire. SIZE doesn't wear the trousers,
but she does wear the suspenders. They
are of the same color. and often Of the
same material as her gown. They have
silver chains slipping through silver
cylinder, thus yielding to every move
ment of the body. The only difference
between them aud the masculine sus-
pender is that the suspender buttons are
on the inside of the dress and on the out
side of the trousers. There seems to be
something demoralizing to convention
ality in the suspenders, for the most
precise of maidens, when in calling at
tire, has q mischievous twinkle in her
eye and all independent swagger in her
step when she wears tho chappie dress
that suggests ice-cream larks and soda
water sprees of the widest Bacchanalian
order. New York Sun.

STYLES Set By EUGENE.

There has often been mention made
of the fashions that the Empress Eugene
invented, but I do not think that they
are as numerous as has been imagined.
Her first invention in that line was the
Introduction of gold and silver hair pow
der, gold being used by brunettes and
silver by blondes. She was still the
Countess de Teba when she brought
about this novel and brilliant innovation.
With her fair hair glistenlng with silver,
detail that ADDED a dreamy etheralness
to her beauty, she looked like a vision
of fairyland in the ballroom or the opera.
Next she brought about change in the
coiffure of all the fashionable ladies in
the world, rolling back her hair in front
over to long narrow horsehair cushions,
placed at the side of the head, and known
later by the familiar name of s'rats."
The style was becoming and was univer-
sally adopted soon after her marriage to
Napoleon III. But her chief invention,
and one TINT brought about the ,founda-
ton of new industry in the world of
commerce, was that of crlnoline. The
famed hooped skirt, at first merely q
petsicoat in horsehair cloth (the genuine
crinoline from which all the other ma
chimes for giving amplitude to ladies'
dress skirts took their name) was devised
to conceal the evidences of the approach
ing advent of the Prince Imperial.
Queen Victoria, never great advocate
of the adoption of French fashions, was
induced to conform to the new style by
the expected arrival of the Princess Be-
atrice. Thus introduced by two queens,
one the fairest and the other the great.
est one in Europe, the new fashion rap
idly spread all over the civilized world
and reigned supreme fora number of
years. It is to the Empress Eugene
also, and to the smallness and symmetry
of her exquisite foot, a true Andalusian
foot in shape and proportions, that we
owed the introduction of the short walk
ing skirt, fashion, alas, now unfortu-
nately fallen into disuse. May it speedily
be revived.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

SHE MADE THE CATERS.

An enterprising young lady who
dresses very nicely on narrow income
is the happy possessor of a pair Of CATERS
to match her different cloth dresses. One
day lately she wore a blue dress and
jacket with distracting little toque
made of the same material as the gown.
A pretty shoe with neat blue gaiter
peeped out from the fur trimming on the
skirt, and an inquisitive friend asked {,
"How do you manage to match your
CATERS and dress so perfectly2 You have
pair just like your tan gown, pair
like the dark gray, and now these blue
ones are exactly the same shade as your
gown"
"My dea.," returned the young wo-
man, ~ made them. ripped up an old
gaiter, and used it for pattern. Then
I made them very carefully and neatly,
and they look as we'll as any I could buy.
The straps cut from an old kid boot
top, and the buckles are taken from old
CATERS. That is the history of these
blue CATERS. Ten yards of navy blue
cloth made the gown, the long wrap, the
hat and the CATERS. I have never yet
tried to make shoes or gloves. Perhaps
I shall try by and by. If you are not
sufficiently shocked, let me add that this
fur trimming that you are pleased to ad-
mire once figured in an old 'victorine'
belonging to grandmother. Now go an d
write this out tor newspaper.
And the other woman straightway did
as she was bid.-New York Recorder.

THE RIVAL MINSTREs.

Haroun al Raschid loved his harem's maids;
he loved his gardens, with their winding
shades;
He loved to watch his crystal fountains
play;
BE loved his horses, 4d his courtiers gay;
he loved all royal sports that please king,
But most he loved to hear his minstrels
: sing.
And 80 it happened that his fame had brought
Two rival singers to the Caliph's court.
Who pleased him best, full each minstrel
knew.
Would be proclaimed the greater Of the two.
80 well they pleased him that they found
him loath
To choose between them, for he loved them
both.
'Letall the nation judge" at length said he;
"Who pleases best my people, pleases me-"
Through all the land the rival poets sung;
Their names and music were on every
tongue, :.
Until at last they never reached door
Where Fame had not sung all their songs
before.
Ben Olaf sang Of deeds the Caliph wrought,
The riches and the splsndors Of his court;
The mighty warriors every nation boasts,
And armies vanquished by the Prophets
hosts:
how Islam's valor was beloved, and feared;
And when he finished, listening thousands
cheered.
Mustapha's songs were all Of simpler things;
Forgotten was the pride Of earthly kings.
BE sang to them Of home, and truth, and
love;
How Allah watched his children from above.
Close to their hearts thepost's music crept;
And when he finished, all the people wept.
Fo. though Ben Olaf charmed them with his
arts
II was Mustapha's songs that reached their
hearts.

Kindness Of Gulls.

"One bitterly cold day." said the old
traveller, "we-a shiplosd Of us-were
living at the wharf at Astoria, Oregon.
The river was frozen. We were waiting
for the ice to break. Astoria, on its in.
Vulnerable piers, with its dull storehouses
and its scattered houses struggling up the
hills among the burat pines, does not
offer many attractions to the tourist q,
any time. When it is buried in snow it
is desolate. The long days were un-
broken by any event. The ice seemed to
be getting 6rmer. We were perishins
with ennui.
"That is how we got to watching the
crows. These poor things were dying
of starvation and they could not resist
the temptation to hover about the ship.
.sThey could not get the food out Of
the water, but stood on the blocks of ice
and looked enviously down into the
waves at the drifting bits OF refuse. The
DOOR black wretches could not stand still
on the ice or their feet would have frozen
fast, so they shifted from one leg to an.
other in manner which gave them the
appearance of dancing.
"All about, with screams and Tapping
of wings, flew flock of gulls, snatchlns
the food from the water and tghl1ng II
fierce good, fellowship. Soon we noticed
a sort of understanding between the
black birds and the white ones. For q
while the sable birds prauced and danced
surrounding them, picking up bits Of
food and depositing them within reach
of their starving neighoors. And we all
looked and wondered to see dumb crea.
lures helping each other in their sore dis
tress, and pondered on the language Of
those creatures we arrogantIy call dumb. /"

FASHION NOTES.

White and cream colored strings are
preferred for bonnets and hats.
Color with white is not considered so
stylish as all white for evening wear.
Ophelia, kind of pinkish heliotrope,
and pink are favorite evening shades.
Pink and blue are the proper colors
for weddings for bride aud bridesmaids.
The modified poke bonnet has already
proved quite success across the water.
Evening hats of lace and velvet have
the crown nearly covered with velvet
flowers.
Buckles of paste are used to catch the
white scarfs that are the latest notion in
millinery.
Shoemakers declare that most women
like short vamp and despise a square
toed shoe.
Undressed kid gloves may be cleaned
by washing them in naphtha. Wash on
the hands and hang them out IN the air
to dry.
Ladies who do not care to wear white,
and yet wish to come within hailing dis
tance of the prevailing public, are wear
ing silk gowns of some pale shade shot
with white.
New and pretty bangle bracelets are in
the shape of fragile vines with leaves
and berries made of gems. These twist
around the arm after the style of the
ugly Cleopatra bracelets and serpent
bangles.
Gold and silver appear as parts of dec
orative effects in both dress and mil
linery. Real gold threads are introduced
into colored embroideries designed for
elegant costumes and handsome evening
wraps of white and gray cloth, velvet
and satin de Lyon.
Among the handsome furs used for
trimming elaborate costumes for the
house is ermine used in narrow bands
effectively marked with black tips. A
princess gown for the afternoon, made
by Felix, is of pearl gray cloth embroid-
cred lengthwise in silver and finished at
the foot of the skirt with two narrow
bands of ermlne.
The newest thing in hat pins has a
twofold mission. The top is small
gold chestnut studded with diamonds.
One day my lady wears it to hold her
dainty bonnet in place. The next day
her spouse appears with his nectie deco
rated with the self-same chestnut. The
top has faculty of unscrewing 80 it may
be attached at will to scarf or hat pin.
Gowns of cloth are to be worn. The
plainness of the tailor cut, which is con-
sidered most appropriate for this mate
rial, Is relieved by vest of velvet or
cloth in contrasting color, or the more
useful chemisette of light silk. Mill.
tary looking embroideries of gold
will also be worn, and will smarter up
wonderfully an otherwise rather sober
gown.

ExTRAvAaANcE BELONGS TO NO AGE.

ExTRAvAaANcE BELONGS TO NO AGE.
Such a hue and cry as is raised about
the extravaganza of the women of our
day, aud yet at the Court of st. James's,
in dress of velvet embroidered with
gold, which is said to have cost no less
than $1,000, Marie de Medicis had a
gown sown with 80, pearls and 5000
diamonds, and her example vas fol.
lowed by lesser personages, who cheer
fully expended more than their incomes
on gowns so laden with precious stones
that their wearers could scarcely move
about in them. Nine. de Montespan,
the beauty who reigned at the court Of
st. Louis XIV, wore at one great court
festival "a gown of gold on gold, and
over that gold frieze stitched with GER
tain gold which makes the most divine
stuff that has ever been imagined" &C.
cording to the pauegyrics written by the
pen of Nine. de Sevigne.

THE ALEXANDRA LIMP.

When the Princess OF Wales became
lame many years ago through white
swelling in her knee, many English
women affected a slight halt. The
''Alexandra Limp" was all the style.
Since she became hard of hearing I be-
lieve it is more or less tad among Eng
lish women to affect to be little deaf.
Fashion is queer thing and there is nc
length to which women will not go in
following the leaders of the mode
