Rich Women Economical I'm Dress.
The question of how much money
New York society women spend annually
for dresses and whether they wear costly
gowns more than once induced me to ask
the best known man dressmaker in this
city and London what he had to say on
the subject. He told me some interest.
ing facts:
The richest people, as rule" he
said, ARE more economical in dress than
those in moderate circumstances. The
Princess Of Wales Is 30 imbued with the
spirit Of economy that she actually has
her gowns made over for her children.
Generally, four drawing rooms occur
annually, and the princess always has a
new dress for each occasion. She pays
her own bills and does not wait for the
heir apparent to be dunned. Often she
wears the same dress half dozen times.
but not at notable royal functions. Hea
dresses, all told, cost over $40, 900 year,
possibly $4,000. This does not include
lace-trimmed dresses.
aQueen Victoria is the most economi.
cal of the royal family, and from year to
year has her gowns cut in the same STYLE
Lady Dudley is q splendid second to the
Queen.
@In New York, the most expensively
dressed women are not the very richest
When Edith Kingdom was an actress she
cared less for expenses than now. Then
she would order dress and never ask the
price, but now as Mrs. Gould she always
asks the price. and often remarks that
because she is Mrs. Gould she does not
wish to pay more than the regular price.
Ada Rehan is more liberal, and seems to
care less for expenses than many ladies
whose husbands are rated as worth mil
lions. Mrs. Aston is not extravagant at
all in dress. Mrs. Coleman Drayton and
many others I could mention are not
prodigal in the matter Of dresses. The
average society woman of wealth never
spends over 5000 a year Of dresses, for
the very reason they wear each dress
many times.
BALL dresses are the cheapest, and al.
though usually the most frail, they are
often worn four times. The tulle skirt is
changed for each ball, but the skirt re.
mains the same. Reception dresses cost
more than ball dresses and are used many
times by simply changing some part OF
the trimming. Even wedding dresses
were occasionally used again for grand
occasions. All the big prices reputed as
paid for dresses are largely fictitious and
never deceive knowing ones. The hand
soonest velvet dress that could be devised
could not cost over $3.50, and cloth
dress Is worth only $50 at the highest
price. Old laces or something expensive
in trimming might make dress cost a
good deal more; but on the whole 500
or $500 would 60 long ways toward
getting the finest kind Of material for
dresses. Awoman who spends $12, 900
year on dresses alone Is more liberal than
many royal danes.
! closed the conversation by asking
him what finally became of the fine
dresses of the rich. He said that had
always puzzled him. His guess was
that they were either sold or given to
poor relatives.-New York Mall Express.

friend Of mine by Samuel Lawrence,

A few days after Mr.. Webster had en-
tered Exeter Academy he returned to his

that the city boys in the academy wero
constantly laughing at him because he

but his books, and added that all would
yet come out right
The advice was needed. and at the end
Of the first quarter Mr.. Emery, muster
ing his class In o line, formally took
the arm Of young Webster and marched
him from the foot to the extreme head.
At the end of the second quarter when
the class was mustered, Mr.. Emery said
"Daniel Webster, gather up your books
and take down your cap"
The boy obeyed, and thinking that he
was about to be expelled from school. was
sorely troubled.
The teacher soon dispelled the illusion,
for he continued: Now. sir, you will
please report yourself 20 the teacher of

Geographers claim that there are %
rivers on the globe, each Of which has q
total length of over 1000 miles. OF
these two-ths Mississippi, from the
source Of the Missouri in the Rocky
Mountains to the Eads Jetties, and the
Amazon, from the source Of the BENT to
the Isle of Maraio-are over 1000 miles
in length; to be exact, the former is 4, 300
and the latter 1929 miles from the source
to the places where their waters are
mingled with those of the ocean. Four
claim q total length Of over 5000 and un.
der 4, 600 miles. They are the Yenesei in
Asia, length $3.50 miles: the Kiang, also
in Asia, 5000 miles; the Nile, Africa,
8,240, and the Hohangho, the third mon
ster Asian stream, which IL 8,040 miles
from source to mouth. Seven streams
ON the globe are under 5000 and over
1000 miles in length. The Volga, in
Russia, and the Amoor In Asia, each be-
ing 2,500 miles in length; two are $500
miles ong-namely, the Mackenzie, In
British America, and the Platte, in South
America. The Rio Bravo, in North
America, the Rio Madeira, in South
America. and the Niger, in Africa, arc
each 1880 miles from end to end. The
Arkansas river just comes inside of this
1900 mile limit with length Of 2,030
miles. Ten of the great rivers Of the
world are over 1000 and under 1900
miles in length. Three of these are in
North America; namely. the Red River,
$50; Ohio, 1880, and the st. Lawrence,

Oyster COCKTAILS.


Vhe Popular "Pofs0m' Among the
Boys An New York.
A popular poison is in great vogue al
the Manhattan Club, in New York, under
the guise OF an oyster cocktail. 1t Is
probable that nothing quite SO injurious
to the human lining has ever been de.
vised. The foundation is laid by putting
seven small oysters in tumbler, adding
afterwards q little salt, three drops Of
fiery Tobasco sauce, the same quantity
of Mexican chill pepper sauce, spoon
full Of lemon juice, and etceteras in the
shape of horse radish and green pepper
sauce, African pepper ketchup, black
pepper, and a liberal quantity of tomato
juice. When all the ingredients are col.
lected together in the tumbler, the. whole
mixture Is stirred about with spoon,
the oysters being very slightly crushed.
They are then lifted out and eaten, tho
cocktail following as beverage.

DRESSING THE SURFACE.
We would next call attention to the
benefits resulting from dressing the
surface of roads with materials Of dry
nature and cowpacting qualities. Those
who use a road throughout the year
know very well that there are portions
that are naturally sticky and are always
bad after rains. Such portions should
be first selected for improving the
surface. Where good gravel is obtain
able within convenient distances. it Is
the most economical material to use.
Occasional dressings Of an inch iD
thickness are better than the addition
of large amount at one time. Thor
ough rolling greatly benefits it. Where
an additional expense can be met, it is
we'll to screen the gravel and FIRST give
a dressing Of that which may run from
the size of hickory nut up to that Of
an egg, and after this has teen well
role the finer portions may be used
as finishing. Where gravel cannot
be obtained, it is of benefit to many
places to dress them with sand. Near
steam factories large quantities OF coal
ashes can sometimes be obtained. These
greatly improve the surface Of most
roads. 1t is often a matter Of surprise
to see the wretched condition Of even
the main streets In wealthy villages
where there are good gravel banks near
by, or thousands Of loads of Goa, ashes
that could be had for the hauling.
Light sandy roads are greatly bene-
fled by dressings of clay; clay.loam or
other compacting material.

DRAINAGE.

The first consideration in the i'm
proyement of existing roads, as in the
proper construction of new ones, is the
removal of water. This includes both
the surface water from rain and melting
snow, and the water that is in the sub.
soil from whatever source it may come
This applies to all kinds of clays and
loans. Where the subsoil is gravel
the natural drainage may accomplish all
that is desired, but in these cases the
speedy removal of surface water is i'm
portant. Persons who have not given
special attention to the matter are gem
orally unaware how much ordinary
roads are benefited by sub.drainage. II
the road bed is dry when winter sets
in, the frost has comparatively little
effect upon it, and when the frost goes
out in the spring the road settles very
quickly, while the frost goes out much
sooner than in undrained roads. No
we'll drained road becomes "bottomless''
in springtime, nor is it so torn to pieces
by heavy travel. Throughout the year
heavy rains have but little effect upon
it. In view Of the immense benefits
from subdrainage it seems surprising
that every public road that is not upon
gravel subsoil is not drained. In nc
other way can the expenditure Of an
equal amount Of money accomplish 80
