The prevailing modes this fall will an
doubtedly continue to draw inspiration from
the early and late French epochs. For
young girls nothing could be more becom'
ing than the empire gown, somewhat modl'
fed to suit modern nations. For other per-
sons the Henry II collarette, plastron and
upper sleeves in four puffs will be much af-
fected
The very stylish dinner gown pictured in
the illustration is in beige Goth, the corsase
and border of skirt being embroidered with
motives in terra-cotta. A lace bertha is
crossed in front and drawn over the hips
and tied in a large bow at the back.
This winter ladies who take pleasure in
entertaining will dispense their hospitality
in the guise of luncheons, which have this
advantage that they serve to display the
beauty of table linen and service quite as
effectually as q ceremonious dinner, but
don't cost half as much, and are a great

Somethii 2 New ID SEARS.

1t is not often that an apparently Use
fn,l innovation in the art of scissor or
snear manufacture is heard of and doubt
leFs for that reason we have become apt
to consider these indispensable adjuncts
to civilization as probably unimprovable
instruments. In a new kind of shears
which has been brought on the market
by an ingenious mechanician, the cutting
blades are connected by capsule, in
which a simple lever movement on the
closing of the instrument, causes the one
blade to be drawn under by the other.
The lower cheek then acts as a support,
and the upper cheek as knife, which
sewers the object on the support. Com
pared with the orthodox sciss ors much
greater efficiency is claimed for the new
form Of shears.--Iron.

Suicides OF Soldiers.

The Journal OF the American Stats.
tical Association gives some curious facts
concerning the number of suicides in the
ranks and more especially among the
officers of all the great European powers.
The Austrian army takes the lead in this
matter. From 1875 to 1887 a yearly
average of 122 suicides is recorded for
every 10000 effective troops. In 1889
the number was 14S. Death by suicide
represents a fifth part of the whole
mortality of the Austrian army. NO dis
ease is more deadly. The Germans re-
port about half the number; the Italian
army about one. third; the French army
about ne.fourth; the English army in
the home service about one-sixth; the
rate in the Russian army is nearly the
same, while in the Spanish army it is
least of all. There ore some curious facts
about these suicides. In the European
armies, especially in Austria, it is the
young soldiers who kill themselves
during the first month OF their service.
Suicides are the most frequent among
the cavalry and infantry, and in the
latter among the soldiers who are accused
and awaiting trial.
The most frequent method is shooting,
though hanging aud drowning are fire..
ouent methods. The infantry use fire.
arms and usually aim at their neads. The
mounted soldiers hang themselves by
their horse brides. The Algerian soldiers
almost always shoot themselves throu 5h
the body, perhaps because the Arabs
think is is infamous to mutilatc the
head. In Austria third of the suicides
are attributed to distastc for military
duty; in France, love trouble is very
frequent cause; the fear Of punishment
is everywhere a great incentive. The
maximum OF suicides is reached in the
hottest weather, aud the minimum is
reached in the coolest w'a:aer. The
late Mr.. Buckle affirme as law of
civihz alton that tnere is periodic
regularity in the suicide mania. aud this
testimony of the suicides in the European
armies goes far tc confirm it.
