at once attracts and appallsus The idea
of wearing dress of this material, for
instance, with its dark ground work,
and its network Of quaint design over
in small velvety or plush divisions, of
bright colors, makes US feel as if we
really daren't wear it, and yet that if
we did we'd be sure to look awfully
nice and awfully striking. These great
big plaids with silk stripes are very en-
ticing, and SO are the materials that
have pretty fancy designs in bright col
ored silks covering them. It's hard to
give them all names, and q great many
of them thus far go by the name simply
of novelty goods. And they are well
named. There isn't thing plain among
them. Everything has a raised line or
stripe OF some sort or silk or plush de-
sign covering it.
Some pretty fall dresses have made
their appearance, and the style of them
is like unto the Russian blouse, in some
cases, with variations that give pretty
effects. They are afternoon dresses, all
of them, and they bear no trains. Paris
has dropped her train altogether, except
upon state occasions. Skirts simply
touch the ground now and may even
clear it if one SO desires. VIII women
welcome this, I wonder? Not if the
new length brings with it the old cut of
skirt and drops altogether the light
and comfortable bell. Much as has
been truly written against that most
injurious fad, the train, it is certainly
much less harmful combined with
light bell skirt, with no unnecessary
folds, than is q trainless skirt of heavy
draperies and multitudinous folds.
And it is to be devoutly hoped that
every woman will join the crusade
against the old, laborious garment that
once had so complete a sway.
But to describe my afternoon dresses.
No. has skirt of plain seal brown,
with seven small tuclSs around the bot
tom; also a deep rounding yoke, and
sleeves of the same material. The
blouse is cut very low, and is of q deli
cate leopard shade. Black marabout
feathers join blouse and yoke, and also
edge the skirt of the blouse A black
girdle, confined with gold buckle,

color. The little hat that goes with it
is very cunning; it is a little fluted
straw that scarcely reaches to the front
of its wearer's head-just rests on her
curls-and is trimmed only with a few
knots of velvet ribbon and a small
aigrette, and strings that meet in q
chou.
No. is somewhat after the blouse
cut-that is, in front; in the back it is

1t was very petite, yet OF exquisite fig.
ure, and looked well in the plain tight
fitting black gown, of severely plain
cut, buttoned down the back several
inches below the waist. The front fitted
everywhere without wrinkle. But the
hat was more striking still. 1. was Of
black guipure lace on a wire frame Of
very broad brim- Several ostrich tips
stood up in front; SO did several loops Of
black velvet ribbon; and between them
was an immense wide bow Of flaming
orange velvet. Under the rim in front
perched a single velvet flower of the
same vivid color.
From what have seen of new hats,
should say that possibly tie coming
color for the fall is brown. It would
seem SO, from these outcomes of MILL
merry skill. For almost every one had a
touch of brown, or brown and white !;
upon a brown foundation. branching
out into gold and delicate lighter
shades, until they paled to cream. And,
as noted with surprise, they had mar
row velvet strings, every one of them.
The brims were bent and curved con-
siderably, and the crowns had fallen
and widened out One beauty was
faced with fat ostrich feathers and
trimmed with brown velvet and plumes;
bird of rich bright green perched
among them. Another was well
trimmed with bows Of brown and white
velvet and creamy plumes. But they
were all trimmed in front; the summer
precedent was faithfully adhered to.
The bib effects are becoming more
and more lengthy. One on delicate
heliotrope silk has cream lace bib of
exquisitely fine thread hanging loose
from the neck half way down the skirt.
It is extremely pretty. Another is

ored dress. A great many folds at the

The adoption of a button in the shape
of pansy is suggested, as well as of a
pansy liberty cap. 1t is desired that as
much as possible be accomplished be-

BAD FOR THE EYES.
Several Things That Help to Mako NJ
Blfnd.

Several Things That Help to Make Mon
Biind.
Among the sources Of the greatest
trouble to the eyesight are the chewing
of tobacco this above almost all 9TH
ers), the excessive use of wine, spirits
or beer; the indiscriminate administra-
ton of quinine; the use of cosmetics for
frightening the luster Of the eye, and
mixtures for dyeing the hair and eye
brows, and there is case On record
where a diminution of vision has been
traced to the wearing of an artificial
wreath Of flowers. Another source Of
falling vision may be traced to impeded
circulation. The wearing of tight neck
wear, such as collars which are too
small, or shirt bands or neckties tightly
drawn, should be avoided, as they pre-
vent the downward column of blood re-
turning to the heart, and dilatation and
development Of disease is likely to fol-
low. The same rule holds good of con-
striction of other parts of the body.
Another most serious source of eve
strain is constant reading in railroad
carriages, which Is the practice of near

their Offices or stores, and the injury TO
the eye from this cause is incalculable
Nothing gives tired eyes greater relief
than a green disc or square of sufficient
size, suspended on direct line of vision
at or against wall, on which the eyes
can rest; but best Of all to look upon is
a green grass plot or green trees. The
green cloth of the poker table is not
good for the eyes at all. 1t is suggested
that it would be a public boon if our
monthly magazines were printed on pa
per of neutral tint and the drop-cur-
tains in theaters should have scenes
painted on them showing great per-
spective. It is rest TO the eyes, after
the concentrated effort made in trying
to watch the facial expression or eyes
of an actor, to look upon such picture.

Killed by q Fog.
Residents of Chicago compl;

Residents of Chicago complain OF the
smoke and vapor which hang over that
city part of the time, but Chicago
fog is as far behind London fog as the
American city is behind the British cap
ital in point of population. An English
authority has lately computed that
every ten days of fog in London kills
twenty-five hundred persons and makes
ten times as many i'll. He explains that
the atmosphere OF London Is hardly
changed at all during fog. but that
the same air must be breathed over and
over again by men and animals, and
that this air is still further poisoned by
smoke and sewer-gas until it is too foul
for any lungs except those OF the wharf
rat Little hope is held out that foss
may be prevented. but means are sug-
gested for making them less unpleas-

lagoon. The interior of the building
will be finished in Portland cement,
manufactured at Yankton cement
works, in imitation to some extent of
cut stone. The state will make collec-
tive exhibits in the department build
ings of agriculture, horticulture. mines
and mining, and educational, but
large exhibition hall will be provided in
the state building, which is to be filled
with products showing the resources Of
the state in all branches. There will be
rooms in the building for the members
and officers of the commission and of
the woman's commission of the state,
and ample accommodations to enable
visitors for the state and their friends
to occupy the building as resort and
resting place while attending the fair
One peculiar feature will be large
room set apart to be known as the state
press headquarters to which the news
papers Of the state will contribute all
their current issues for the purposes of

common to state building at the fair
will be provided. The real cost of the
building will be about s25, 900, although
gifts of material will bring the expense
down to about s12. 900.
Mr.. Gibbs said: 1.-The work on the
building will begin Immediately with
a view of having it finished by the time
of the dedication in October. The COM
mission will have expended $50, 900 on
the building and exhibit up to the time
of the converting of the South Dakota
legislature next winter. 1t is expected
that the legislature will appropriate as
much more and thus bring the exhibit
up to grade equal to that of any of
the other northwestern states.

These bib effects are very pretty over

desire to look real babyish and capti-

then have a dainty, fimsy, fancy bib

Judge Macfarlane has rendered !:

death imposed upon Peter Renfrow of
Texas county. July Is, 1888, Rem.
frow shot and killed Charles ID. Dor
ris, township constable, at Summer
vile, in Texas county. Doris was
trying to quell disturbance. Rem.
frow escaped from Jail and was at lib

The case of II. l.. Dusenberry, from

Judge Thomas. Du<enberry crimi-
nally assaulted Bette SRA, young
girl, on the night of November ,,
1888. A change of venue was taken
to Audrain county. where, upon trial,
Dusenberry was convicted and sen
fenced to the penitentiary for thirty
FIVE years. The case, on account of
the brutality of the crime, attracted
considerable attention. All the judges
cOncurred in the opinion.
Judge Thomas filed an opinion in
the case of State vs.. LoOmis Il Snively
of Macon county. This case involves
the validity of an act of the legislature
of 1889 requiring mine operators to
redeem time checks issued to employees
in merchandise or money once a
month or on regular pay days, and
providing a fine of from $40 to $500
for failure to do 50. For violation
of the law the firm was fined $40. The
company claimed that the law was I'M
constitutional, but Judges Thomas
and McFarlane hold that it Is valid.
However, as Judge CAN'T did not ex-
press an opinion, the entire matter
was transferred to the court in banc
for adjudication.
