HOW -ro MAKE DRESSES.

Among the French. bodices is one es-
specially for slender forms, having the
fronts gathered at the arm-sizo, and
then in the center, lower down, to give
the appearance OF a separate drapery. In
remodeing old gowns this effect could
be given with contrasting material,
which might appear again on the
sleeves. Diagonal fronts are still worn,
and rolling collar, ending in short re-
vers, appears on many French gowns,
with the high collar of the dress fabric.
Some bodices show only the second
darts, with tine fullness foe the first
laid in tiny plaits; then diagonal rows
of gimp from the side seams initiate a
corselet, aud hold the plaits in position.

German mothers seem always to be
supplied with shirts and petticoats for
their babies knitted ont of fine, soft
dainty wool-the handiworlS of the
mother or proud grandmother. The
next best material for this is very fine,
soft, white Angora flannel, which
shrinks but little with washing. Cut
them long enough to cover the bowels,
with long sleeves for the first year,
half lengths afterward. Make them
open from neck to hem, using small fiat
buttons to close the opening. After
baby's first year, cut their winter shirts
from orange or light weight gray fan
mel, finishing the long sleeves with soft
wristlets knit OF bright saHony yarn,
and binding the high neck, fitted as
carefully rs thai OF dress, with a bit
of cambria cut straightwise of the
goods to prevent the little garments
stretching and sagging about the
throat Always shrink flannel before
cutting any undergarment from it

Corwin Lost Their Votes.

Tom Corwin was not only a very elo-
quent man, but he was the most re-
nowned wit and humorist of his party,
Just as the late Samuel Sullivan Cox was
of his party at later day. Corwin's
sense of humor sometimes got him into
difficulty, and on at least one occasion
lost him votes He was on a campaign
tour, and had stopped for the night at
the house of wealthy farmer, whose
wife was as eager to display her book
learning as her hospitality.
These efforts took the form of big, un-
usual words, which sometimes had lu-
dicrous Malapropian flavor. She pre-
pared most excellent and elaborate
breakfast for the distinguished orator
and his party, and then seated herself at
the head of the table to do the honors.
She poured out cup of coffee, and then
with gracious smile, turned to the
orator and asked:
"Mr. Corwin, do you take concomit-
ants in your coffee?"
''Thank you madame, replied Corwin
gravely, 81 will take little sugar and
cream, but neither salt nor pepper.
He didn't get vote in that family,
and scarcely one in the precinct, though
both family and precinct were usually
Whig.-Washington Post.

The Crescent as an Emblem.

The crescent has been known since
time out of memory. In ancient mythol-
ogy it decorated the foreheads of Diana
and of Astarte, the Syrian Venice. In
the days of Rome's greatest glory the
ladies wore it as an ornament in their
hair. Since the foundation of Constan-
tinople (the ancient Byzantium) it has
been the emblem of the city, and as such
adorns its walls and public buildings,
besides being stamped on it's coins and
postage. The legend which accounts
for its universal adoption in Turkey, and
Constantinople in particular, is as fol-
lows:
Philip of Macedon laid siege to the
city in the year $40 B. Q. He chose a
night of unusual darkness for the pro-
posed assault, but was foiled by the
moon suddenly breaking from behind a
cloud. In commemoration of this prov
idential deliverance the crescent was
adopted as the symbol of the city. The
Mohammedan sultans were slow to as
sumo this emblem until some one men
toned that it was the symbol of increas-
ing greatness, power changing as rapid
ly as the phases Of the moon.-St. Louis
Republic, Iae

A Street Magician.

The following account of an amusing
adventure is vouched for by the highly
respectable gentleman to whom the in
cident occurred. II was walking down
one of the principal streets of San Fran
cisco on windy afternoon, when sud
den gust of wind lifted my high silk hat

was clothed in my best) and sent it spin
ming down the street. OF course started
at once in pursuit; but before | could
reach it my unfortunate tile was picked
up by gentlemanly looking person who
was apparently about to return it to me
with a bow, when he suddenly ex-
claimed, 4 beg your pardon, allow me!
and he drew out of my hat cabbage.
".This is very odd,' he continued, as
the half dozen idlers who had been
watching the proceedings drew near,
but really, my dear sir'-drawing out
bunch of carrots-'this must be very
uncomfortable extracting half dozen
big beets-'and you cannot surely put
such things as these on your head and
he held up, amid the laughter of the
crowd, rabbit, who kicked violently as
he was held aloft by the ears. Rather
annoyed at the publicity of the enter
tainment, finally succeeded in captur-
ing my hat, and the magician, followed
by a small crowd, took his way up the
street ready to play his tricks upon any
other likely subject. New York Trib-

Important to Rich Men.

A rich man holds his wealth simply as
trustee between his Maker and human
ity. Unless he wants to become the
slave of his money he must give it free
ly until he feels that there is some sacri-
fee in the giving. My observation for a
great many years has led me to have a
strong opinion on that subject. 1t is for
the good of the man himself that he
should look at the subject from this
point of view. do not believe there is
much philanthropy OF charity in provid-
ing that your money shall be given after
death, when you are unable to hold it.
Better give of your means as you go
along through life, leaving of your
wealth to others who after you will, in
the exercise of their stewardship, follow
the same course.-D. Willis James in

HORSE VS.. HOG.
Good Meat Is a Rare Article of Diet in
France at Present.


PARIS, Feb. 14.-The rise in the price
of beef, caused by the new tariff, has
led to large demand for horse flesh in
Paris. According to the report of the
police prefecture, the horses and mules
slaughtered represent one-third of the
whole quantity of meat consumed.
Fillet of horse or donkey is retailed at
ten pence per pound, steak at seven
pence, and inferior parts at two. Worn
out animals are rising in value, and be-
ing bought up everywhere within a
radius of 300 miles of Paris.
Havre importers of American pork
have obtained an abrogation of the or

could not be landed until the importer

be landed at the convenience of i'm

merce will now ask for the resembling ol
the order by which meat found unfit for
use is to be destroyed. The authorities
will probably be advised to hold such
meat until the American exporters de-
eide to have it returned.
