 A combination of cloth, bengaline, Indian cashmere and watered silk is seen in the most elegant recently im- ported costumes.
 A novel combination in the way of trimmings is jet and fur. The fur is in narrow bands beaded with a slender passementerie of cut jet.
 White and yellow blossoms are in high favor and violets promise to be more worn than during any season since they first came in favor three years ago.
 A new and popular trimming is c passementerie finished with feather edge, also galloons and gimps dotted with shiny black cabochous are much in vogue.
 Long. graceful princess polonaise of cloth appear over skirts of repped silk, with sleeves, collar and vest of the silk and the hem of the sheath skirt covered with rows of silk piping.
 The aim of modistes is to make gowns as light in weight as possible. Very few of the handsome wool gowns for the coming season are lined. They are sim ply silk-faced and are to be worn over a silk or moreen petticoat.
 The recently received hats and bon nets from the most famous Parisian milliners show 8 melange of moire an- tique ribbon, flowers. lace and feathers which, to say the least of it, is, on a sim gle headgear, rather confusing.
 Various weaves in Bedford cord, shot bengalines, vicuna cloth roughly woven and English homespun checked striped and 6ecked are among the most stylish wool fabrics offered for spring gowns both for home and the street.
 A number of fashionable women. whose aim is to be very English in their dress, and who following the fashion of certain well-known leaders in Lon don society. have worn richly trimmed straw bonnets all winter, are now or- dering black and other velvet hats and bonnets, which they intend to wear all summer, to impart rich tone and touch to their airy, 1ight-hued toilets and costumes.
 A London writer says that on account of the extra long sleeves the one-button glove is imminent Yet notwithstand- ring this assertion the long-wristed mousquetaire and the many -buttoned, straight-wristed gloves bid fair to retain their popularity. Still, history has fre- quently repeated itself in the matter of short and long gloves, the long-wristed variety having been frequently favored and discarded by the fashionable in past centuries.
 A prevailing fashion of the moment is ''bonnet teas" The chief aim of every tea or chocolate slipper is to appear in a bonnet or hat that is either unquestion- ably of French origin or is distinctly of the English art" style. Spanish hats in black and yellow are particularly af- fected, also the large Rubens hats of black velvet, with a soft velvet puff at the edge of the brim and full cluster of short but heavy plumes that droop over the crown from the back.-N.

 The south of France. There is music in the very words-sunshine, poetry and a sense of calm; a suggestion of warmth and of infinite delight. No wonder pain, care and invalidism flock there from less favored climes for comfort and healing, returning year after year to rest beneath the shadow of olive and ilex, and to dream the luscious days away beside the blue waters of the Mediterranean, drinking in strength and peace with every far-reaching gaze into the cloudless azure of the southern sky every deep drawn breath of the sunny southern air.
 Mrs. Smith grew stronger daily-more like herself Time and care and cease less affection had wrought their benei- cent work, and mind and body were re- covering a healthier tone; her interest revived and her hold on life renewed it. self.

WHITTIER.

The life of John G. Whittier was per.
petual benefaction. Everything he wrote
and everything he did was for the benefit
of his fellow men. Born of Quaker par.
entage he possessed all the gentleness and
patience that characterize the believers In
that faith. But with it he had an intense
hatred of every form of oppression, .and
some of his early writings in the anti-sIav-
cry cause were in fiery denunciation of the
great wrong. Mr.. Whittier in his youth
was of feeble constitution, yet he lived to
a great age. The reason was that he took
care of himself. It's the abstemious liver
who reaches great age. It is not neces-
sary to starve ones self to do this. but
moderation Is the great law of nature. II
you are dyspeptic or troubled with indiges-
ton take the Laxative Gum Drops, and
they will effect complete cure, and save
youfrom many fit of sickness. They not
only regulate the stomach and the action
of the bowels but they expell all waste
material, all undigested substances, that
hamper the free action of the digestive
organs. Get these of any dealer. The

Had Weather.

Travellers are seldom without topics
for complaint. If everything else fails
they can at least fall back upon bad
food and bad weather.
Mr.. Elson, in his European REM
iniscences," mentions a man who de-
claimed against Pisa as the wette st of
cities.
Why" said he, ''twenty years ago 1
left Pisa and it was raining. 1 come
back, and it is raining still.'
Mr.. Elson is sarcastic; but he is not
beyond little fault-finding on his own
account. His great trouble was at Rot
terdam.
The weather reminded me of home, {"
he says. IF ever a meteorological
bureau is started in Holland, its reports
will run about as follows:
Gold and clear. followed by warm
and rainy. interspersed with thunder
showers, followed by light frosts, after
which the weather will become change,

A LAWYERS sTRATEoEM.

He Ate Poisoned Cake In Court anl
Cleared His Client.
A well-known Kansas Cityan tells
this story:
Fifteen years ago Judge McSweeney
was famous criminal lawyer of south.
| ern Michigan. He was called upon to
defend a young woman from the charge
OF having poisoned her old husband. Ii
was question of whether or not she
had placed poison in cake, of which
the old man had eaten. A portion of
the cake had been analysed by a chem
vt and found to contain a great deal of
deadly poison. The chemist testified to
this in court. Other witnesses succeed
ell in making chain of damaging evil
dence against the pretty young widow.
The time came for the summing up
speeches of the attorneys. The prose.
cution began and finished and all
looked hopeless for the prisoner at the
bar Judge McSweeney, the only
speaker for the defense, arose amid
breathless silence. The room was
crowded, and all were listening. One
could almost hear the quiet, it was so
intense. He began in low tone to
sum up the evidence in defense of the
prisoner. He had been allowed an
hour in which to plead his side of the
case. He dealt with everything but
the cake. 1t rested upon the table Just
at his right hand, where it had stood
during all the weary trial Thirty min
utes passed, and the people were still
motionless, charmed by the sweet elo.
quence of the gruff old lawyer. Three
quarters of an hour passed by, then
another ten minutes. When the clerk
over the big desk told him there were
but five minutes left, he reached his
hand out to the cake, half of which
stood upon the table, and broke off
ragged chunk. He held this in his
hand and between sentences took
great mouthfuls of it. The chemist
had declared that there was enough
poison in it to kill fifty men. The
good people looked at him IN amazement
and the jurors turned to each other
and whispered. McSweeney wound up
his speech, took another chunk of cake.
and walked quietly from the court
room eating it. He closed the door be-
hind him, ran into a small room close
by and locked the door. Two physi.
clans stood ready with stomach pump.
and in ten minutes the cake was all in
the slop jar. The jury returned a yer.
