Dressing In Good Taste.

American ladies, especially In the larger
cities and towns, are becoming noted for
their good taste in dress. This is largely
due to the fact that they secure the best
Fashion Journals published, and by a
careful study of them they get correct
ideas upon the all-importaLt subject of
dress. ANY lady can cultivate her taste
in this direction II she will only go to the
trouble of comparing the styles found in
the reliable Fashion Journals published
by A. Mcdowell & Co., West l4th St,
N. Y, with those appearing in other
Fashion Magazines. Those issued by A
Mcdowell & Co, are produced only by
the best artists, and are for the most part
plain, and in every respect practical; the
Others are generally very loud or dowdy,
and thoroughly unsuitable for the require
ments of american women. The firm of
A. Mcdowell & Co. seeks to furnish
ladies with genuine French styles, such
pearing ridiculous. Hence their Fashion
Journals are now the favoriteS with all
ladies of good taste throughout the coun-
try. La Mode de Paris gives the latest
French styles. "Album des Modes" fur
nishes styles which are popular in Paris.
LA Mode" gives selection of styles
which are serviceable to the family. The
two former are each 35 cents copy, or
$3.50 year. The last is 10 cents copy,
or $l.50 per annum. They are supplied
by newsdealers, or direct to subscl ibers

Henri Greville and Francois Coppee, there
are tales no less entertaining from writers
who are now winning their reputation.

suited to the taste of every reader. The
hurried man of business, the tired house
keeper, the overworked professional man,

James A. Shedd, aged 20 years,
for several years prominent citizen
and business man of Burlington, was
found dead in bed Monday morning.
Heart failure was the cause of his
death. He came to Burlington in
1S4S and went into the tinware busi-
ness. In 1878 he retired with a for
tune estimated at 100000. In 1889
he lost all his property by bad invest

Q,nrters and Dimes.

The bright, new silver coins, with
the national coat of arms on one side
and the classic head of the goddess of
liberty on the other, will begin to cir
culate among the people early next
year. =
The mintsi will begin soon afN4
January to turn them out, and Mr..
Leech, the director Of the mint, has
suspended further coinage according
to old designs; so as to leave room
for the new pieces and have some
money to coin them.
He has about S25, 900 still available
of an appropriation of 10000 made
by the last Congress to cover the loss
due to the wear and tear of the old
coins which have been going into the
melting pot. He estimates that the
remaining appropriation will cover
the loss on nearly 100000 of the old
pieces, and that much of the new
money can be put in circulation dur
ing the winter and spring.
Most of it will be in quarters and
dimes, for they are in much greater
demand than the half-dollar pieces,
but few of the latter will be turned
out to make the people familiar with
their appearance and to meet what
demand there is.

tured, tried and condemned to death as
a spy. The United States authorities
were notified that Armsey's execution
would be quickly followed by the hang
ing of Goff, who had in the meantime
been put in solitary confinement.
The federal government was in q
quandary. 1t did not wish to practically
condemn one of its most gallant young
officers to death, and yet it desired to
punish the person who had been declared
a spy. In the midst of this perplexity
the following note, which is still on file
in the war office, was received from the
man most interested:
II Major Armsey is guilty he should be exc
cuted regardless Of its consequences to me.
The life Of a single soldier. no matter who he
may be, should not stand in the way of adher-
ence to great principle.
The government soon made up i,e
mind. 1t could not afford to lose such
an officer; SO Major Armsey was ex-
changed for Goff.
Goffs sense of fairness, which even in
those days was almost judicial, was illus
trated short time after the exchange.
Armsey Immediately resumed the COM
mand of his regiment. Within three or
four weeks he was recaptured and
brought in by Goff's men who, at the
time, happened to be stationed in their
native village. The townspeople were
wild when they saw the person who had
nearly cost their favorite his life They
started toward Armsey with the inten-
tion of summarily dispatching him,
when Golf faced the maddened crowd,
and stating that Armsey was a prisoner
of war AMI as such entitled to his pro-
tection. conducted him to place of
safety
