Empress Eugenie's Inventions.

There has often been mention made of
the fashions that the Empress Eugene in
vented, but do not think they are as nu-
merous as has been imagined. Her first
invention in that line was the introduction
of gold and silver hair powder, gold being
used by brunettes and silver by bonds
She was still the Countess de Teba when
she brought about this novel and brilliant
innovation. With her fair hair glistening
with silver, a detail that added dreamy
etherealness to her beauty, she looked like
vision OF fairyland in the ballroom or the
opera.
Next she brought about change in the
couture of all the fashionable ladies in the
world, by rolling back her hair in front
over two long narrow horsehair cushions,
placed at the side of the head and known
later by the familiar name of rats" The
style was becoming, and was universally
adopted soon after her marriage to Ma
poleon III. But her chief invention, and
one that brought about the foundation Of
a new industry in the world of commerce,
was that OF crinoline.-Paris Cor. St. Louis

Katherine PARIS Counterpart.

While Katherine Parr was vet a young
child her fortune was told, and it was pre-
dicted that she was born to sit in the high
est seat of imperial majesty This proph-
ecy made so powerful an impression upon
her youthful mind that, on one occasion,
when her mother called her to her sewing,
she replied, My hands are ordained to
touch crowns and scepters and not spin
dies and needles"
But Lady Patr was too wise mother to
encourage her little daughter in idle
dreams that would unfit her for the duties
of life; so, Notwithstanding her early re-
pugnance to touching needle, she be-
came very skillful in it's use and two mag
nilicent trophies of her industry are still
proudly exhibited at Sizergh castle, West
moreland county, England, They are a
counterpart and toilet cover, work ed en-
tirely by her own hands during a visit
made to her relatives there. The material
is the richest white satin.
In the center of the counterpane is a
metal lion, surrounded by "A wreath of nat
ura flowers wrought in twisted silks and
bullion; spread eagle is in the middle,
gorged with Il crown. At each corner is
dragOnlike monster, embroidered in pur
pie crimson and gold. The remainder of
the counterpart is worked in large flow
ers, in gorgeous colOrs, highly embossed
and enriched with threads of gold. The
toilet cover is exactly like it, only it is
worked in a smaller pattern
The author of 1.-The Lives of the Queens
of England" herself related to katherine
Parr, says, THE lapse Of three centuries
has scarcely diminished the briliancy of
the colors or furnished the bullion; nor is
the purity of the satin sullied, though both
these queenly relics have been used on
state occasions by the family in whose pos
session they have remained AS precious
herlooms and memorials of their ancestral
connection w. h Queen Katherine Parr."-

Teach her that not only must she love
her father and mother, but honor them in
word and deed.
That work is worthy always when it is
well done.
That the value of money is just the good
it will do in life, but that she ought to
know and appreciate this value.
That the man who wishes to marry her
is the one who tells her so and Is willing to
work for her, and not the one who whis-
pers silly love speeches and forgets that
men cease to be men when they have no
object in life.
That her best confidant is always her
mother, and that no one sympathiZes with
her in her pleasures and joys as you do
That unless she shows courtesy to others
she need never expect it from them, and
that the best answer to rudeness is being
blind to it,
That when God made her body he in
tended that it should be clothed properly
and modestly, and when she neglects her
self she is insulting him who made her
Teach her to think well before she says
no or yes, but to mean it when she does.
Teach her that her own room is her nest,
and that to make it sweet and attractive is
duty as well as pleasure.
Teach her that if she can sing or read or
draw, or give pleasure in any way by her
accomplishments, she is selfish and unkind
if she does not do this gladly.
Teach her to be woman-s self respect
ing, honest, loving and kind, and then you
will have daughter who will be a pleas
ure to you always, and whose days will be
long and joyous in the land which the Lord
hath given her.-Ladies' Home Journal

1evel of the commonplace. No public man
now wears costume not in accord with
what is known as good form. Even the
new congressman from the small districts
have their evening suits, to the last man of
them, and not one is good enough to break
the monotony by wearing it in the house
or at an afternoon reception.

A Ouotation Party.

One of the popular home amusements
promises to be the Quotation party"
That it will prove welcome relief to the
run of card parties and dances and at the
same time be highly instructive to every
one engaged in il will be easily gathered
from these few hints
Let the hostess provide five tables and in
vite twenty guests. Furnish each table
with four sheets of paper. On each of
these have written four well known quo
tations from popular authors. With each
quotation sheet supply IA long card with
Spaces numbered from one to eighty, and
at the top of the card write Name of
of author" On the first or head table
place a bell.
The guests arrived, have them draw lots
to see at which table they will first sit
! This done and the guests seated, the work
of study begins. AS soon as the guest rec
ognizes an authors quotation he marks
on his authors card the name of the au-
thor. Thus if a person sits at the second
table and finds in front of him quotation
slip numbered %, "a, 25 and 26, he writes
on the blank spaces of the other slip CORE
spending with these numbers the names of
the authors of quotations % ~, % and 20.
Five or six minutes is the time allowed
for study, and ut the end of that period the
hostess rings her bell for a recess, She
| then examines the author slip of each con
| testant and crosses out the name of each
author that is wrongly given. After this
she rings the bell again and each contest
ant takes the quotation slip to the right of
him, retaining his own authorship.
When the time limit has again expired,
the slips are once more examined as before,
and another change of quotation slips is
made When all four Sins mt the table

Calhoun, unable to walk and wheeled in
by n colored servitor to listen to the read
ing of his speech by another senator. There
was Sam Houston, tool remember him
and how he used to sit in the senate cham
Der and whittle a big stick with his bowie
knife. Captain Bassett, our gray haired
doorkeeper, used to watch Houston litter
ing up the floor with his shavings and then
go sadly and clean up after him"
Then the old timer went on to tell me of
John Randolph, of Roanoke, another fa-
nous character of the early days in Wash
ington. What a godscnd to the newspaper
profession in Washington would the pres
ence of Il John Randolph in the senate be
at the present time. This picturesque
man, who was six feet tall, thin and gaunt,
with an i'll proportional body and small,
round head, and whose coarse, coal black
hair parted in the middle over his sallow
temples bespoke his descent from Poca-
hontas, used to ride to the Capitol on Il
Virginia thorou ghbred and enter the SEN
ate chamber with his riding whip in his
hand, silver spurs on his heels and his
favortc hound following his footsteps. He
wrote letters and made speeches with his
gloves on. Every ten or fifteen minutes
while making speech he called out,
lllllnS, more porter, anu lnc dSSlSuhlo
doorkeeper would hand him foaming
tumbler of beer.
In this way Randolph used to drink three
or four quarts of beer in an afternoon, and
his tongue on such occasions frequently be-
came something dreadful. Alas we have
no John Randolph now to relieve the SEN
ate chamber of the dull monotony. Sen
ators don't drink beer in the chamber any
more, and when they want some ice cold
champagne punch in hot weather they dis
crectly take it in the privacy of the cloak
rooms. They have even given up the use
of snuff, and Captain Bassett's silver snuff
box, which lies all the while on the clerk Is
desk, comfortably filled with the best
Scotch ut fifteen dollars a pound, has only
Captain Bassett for Il customer Mr.. Ed
munds was the last of the snufling sena-
tors, as he was in many other respects the
last of picturesque line of public men.
1t is easy to see that in the old days the
residents of the capital had plenty of odd
things to excite their attention. a foreign
minister created ii sensation by appearing

turesque. OF Jerry Simpson, the alleged
ssOckless, we had strong hopes, but he
reaches the capital and straightway APP
pears in a fine tailor made suit, with silk
stockings snd gold eyeglasses. The mem
bers in whose hair we had hoped to find
bushels of hayseed turn out to be for the
most part college graduates, polished men,
well dressed and rs like the banker or
lawyer by whose side they sit as one pea is
like another. Even the mining camp and
cowboy states and territories send us men
who are ~ conventional as mild manners,
strict regard for the proprieties and eXpen-
sive tailoring can make them. 1t is all
very disappointing.
What is the matter with the American
people that they are becoming 50 drearily
conventional? Here is this typical city
this city where the representatives of every
nook and corner of the land are assembled
we have at the present day not one Char
Acter." Not only do we all look and act
alike, but the daily incidents of our life
are even and commonplace. 1t was not al
ways so in the American capital. There
was time in which picturesque characters
abounded here, and in which novel Incl
dents and extraordinary occurrences were
as common as red ears at western corn

old resident of Washington, a man who
mas watched the personages and the events
for half century.
1T fills me with painful thoughts" said
this old timer, ito go into the senate cham

present time one really picturesque figure
nor IA single great magnetic orator. Ed

picturesque figures and Logan and ingalls,

pede. Even the society of that day was
picturesque. The balls were lively, old
fashioned dances. Almost classic in their
scantiness were the costumes of the ladies.
The fashionable ball dress was of white
India Grape, the skirt was very scant
and only came down to the ankles and
was deliberately trimmed with dozen
or more rows of flounces. In plain view
were the pretty clocks on the silk or cot
ton stockings Our fashionable GRANDPA
theirs were gaudy and glorious creatures
in their green, blue or claret frock coats
with large lapels and gilt buttons, their
rufled linen, high Hessian boots with gold
tassels, and with the privilege of wearing
two or even three frock coats. each of diff
ferent color, at one time
Then there was the duel. Nowadays, if
two public men pass "the lie" and shake
their fists Mt each other we all get very
much excited and rush off to the telegraph
Office and print several columns. In the
good old days real, genuine duels between
important men were Of frequent occur
renee. A case Of dueling pistols were as
much a part of the outfit of a southern or
western congressman as his green carpet
bag Imported pistols were highly priced
but Philadelphia gunsmith named Der
ringer made such good guns that his name
became attached to short pistol of his
manufacture, designed to be carried in the
trousers pocket for use in street fights. A
first class duel would now attract more at
tention than "A presidential election.
In recalling the lively and picturesque
incidents which the old timers enjoyed in
Washington one is moved almost to tears
over the commonplace nature of his own
times. John Adams used to battle in the
Potomac every morning at daylight be-
cause they had no bathtub in the White
House, and no one ever pulled a kodak on
him. President Taylor used to walk about
the town and stop and chat with every one
he met, like "A policeman. A reception in
the White House in these days is relieved
of monotony only by the great crush of
guests, who trample the clothes off each
others backs. President Jefferson set up
in the East room a 600 pound cheese and in
vited the multitude to come in and help
itself, which the multitude proceeded to do.

THE AFTERGlOW.


The mist has crept up from the fen
The cold gray mist that shrouds the earth
The shadows deepen in the glen;
The day is done the day of mirth.
The twilight fails, and faint and low
Is heard the night birds lonely song,
That sobs symphony of woe,
Sobs and bewails the night along.
Then, as we sigh for vanished day
And watch the darkness settle slow,
Through the dense shadows darts n ray,
A flush ii is the aflerglow!
The gathering night rolls suslen back
As the pale flashes Coz and go,
AS follows close on evenings track
The glory of the aft rglOw!

And Fatcs no more their gifts bestow,
Perchance a brighter day is near,
