Of flower pattern, formed Of little punches
Of pink, blue and yellow blossoms, had a
trimming round the hem Of moss green
velvet, lined with pink, and a short, full
basque made of the same materials. The
bodice was light, lacy and fantastic, like
all the bodices of this season.
Thin materials are to be worn for ball
gowns, and tulle is to be fashionable again.
Nothing could be more appropriate for a
dance dress. The skirts of dancing gowns
will be short, clearing the floor. leaving the
pretty slipper very much en- evidence. A
lovely one recently made was Of palest gray
satin, yelled with gray tulle at the back,
and having a sparkling trimming of steel
sequins embroidered on net down the front
Of the skirt and round the low neck.
Those who do not want tulle gowns have
wide choice in gauzes. Some of the new
est are of a thin silky fabric, covered all
over with crimped lines Of various widths.
Thicker makes are brocaded with sprays Of
corn, and others have broad and narrow
interviewer moire stripes.
To be able to wear beautiful tea gowns Is
some compensation for short days and
dreary weather. One of the seasons hand
some confections is in pink amethyst satin,
with figaro front, and trimmed with French
lace, a design that may be equally well car
ried out with more modest materials The
yoke and cuffs are striped with narrow
black velvet, and the full puffed sleeves
are of satin. The slightly trained skirt is
trimmed with narrow frill and two rows
Of black velvet at the knee and at the foot

nous "Cochineal cactus" down to the tiny
Button cactus" the New York Tribune
comments as follows upon cactuses in gen.
eral and one species in particular;
Many people regard these wonders of the
vegetable kingdom as "horrid things" and
with good cause Some of the most awk-
ward, ungainly shapes that ever crazy
botanist dreamed of are reproduced in a
big cactus bed. For all that the plants are
an interesting study, and the number Of
cactus fanciers is steadily increasing.
Phyllocactus latifrons Is a species closely
allied to the true night Towering Cereus
grandiforus To lover of flowers it is a
treat to see good, strong plant of the spe-
cies bud and flower The stem has few
spines, short and soft, growing at regular
intervals on the ridges, of which there are
five. For weeks 1t will show no sign of
life, and then there will come swelling,
generally near the top. This swelling will
gradually open and little woolly tuft ap-
pear. This may be a bud, or it may be a
new shoot, and it takes several days before
that point is settled. If 1t be bud, when
1t has become about inches long and some
what lighter in color toward the end it
should be watched, as it may bloom before
any one is aware of it. The flowers usually
open about s o'clock in the evening, and
when once the end of the bud bursts the
flower can be seen to swell and grow and
spread out into sweet smelling thing of
beauty.

Definition of ola Podrida.

Ola podrida isa term which has come to
be figuratively applied to literary produc-
tions Of very miscellaneous contents. Orig
inally, the term, which is Spanish, and
whose literal meaning is putrid pot, sig

fish, vegetables, etc., thrown together in a
pot. But it was also used to designate a
favorite national dish Of the Spaniards,
consisting of mixture of meats and vege-
tables stewed together. The French equiv

among other things observed: There was a
low wall Of earth, inclosing an area of per-
hsps seven or eight acres, the earth in this
wall having been thrown up from a trench
dug just within. The earthworks were
semicircular In outline. In the eastern end
Of the inclosure was a low mound about 8
feet high and IS or 20 feet in diameter
There were two rows of shallow graves, one
along either of the long walls of the inclos-
ure.
The process of interment had evidently
been very simple. A hole had been dug and
the coffin of stone slabs built within it and
the body let down, with or without grave
wrappings, and covered with stone lid, the
whole being then covered with earth. These
were apparently the graves of the common
folk, for almost without an exception the
narrow stone coflins contained nothing but
the crumbling skeletons. 1t was easy to
see how the ''pygmy" idea came about, for
the tombs were Of diminutive size, the
bodies, with knees doubled up to the chin,
only requiring a space of four feet or SO in
length.
When the work Of uncovering the low
mound was begun, was plainly getting
into the company Of the magnates of the
"pigmy" society. Here were regular num-
my cases, some made Of skins and some of
woven hempen fabric, and these coffins in
the mound contained an almost infinite
variety of implements and utensils in stone,
copper, earthenware and woven materials.
Itwas CHASTITY to work over the crumbling
fragments with tape line and pencil, but
it resulted in finding that the bones were
certainly those Of race Of tall men. Other
explorers have found isolated groups Of
graves containing the bodies of children
only, and it may be that the Tennessee
mountaineers have come upon these segre-
cations Of small bones and mistaken them
for the bones of a pigmy race.

When carpets have been worn in spots or

Coon Cats.

A correspondent of Science tells of seeing
in private house in Chicago recently two
cats which the owners called coon cats. +"
They had been obtained in the edge of the
forest around Moosehead lake, and 1t was
claimed that they were hybrids or descen-
dants Of hybrids of the domestic cat and
the raccoon. They were larger than the or.
dinary house cat, had very eoonlike coun.
tenances and bushy coonlike tails that were
always extended. One had the habit of as.
cending something high and resting stretch
ed out, and their motions when in little
hurry were a coonlike gallop.

1t is stated that the Chinese much ap-

great liking for them and will resort to
subterfuge, If necessary, to get hold of
them. The common people worry the

this point, shamming sick in order to be
supplied with a bottle of medicine. The
authority for this report does not furnish
any information as to what our Celestial
friends do with the bottles.

the low prices. If you say that it
is and under production of money,
and prove the under production of
money by showing that the fields
out of which over two.thirds of the
money of the world has been dug
and from which it has been pro-
duced are now neglected. Who
has the better proof of their asser.
ton?
So much for the effect upon
prices. There ia another equally
important consideration, that is,
where is the money tn come from to
pay debts which have been con-
tracted upon the faith Of the money
supply from two sources, the larger
source of which is threatened with
humiliation? The public debts of
the world have increased from about
ten billion, in 1869 to twenty seven
billion six hundred and ninety eight
million in 1890. The private debts
have multiplied in larger pro-
portion still. In the meantime com.
merce has extended vastly, present
ing an ever present demand for
much larger sums. No the PROPOSE
ton ia, shall we look to
one or more sources to pay
these debts? Eliminate the view
that the debtor is weaker than the
creditor, and therefore the filter
subject for favorable consideration,
and the fact that while the creditor
lives upon the accumulation which
he has made out of the products of
the past, that the debtor is the real
producer nf today, and that there.
fore this generation owes more to
it's present product maker than it
does to a man enriched from past
products, yet as co-equals both man
and nation should have gold and
silver to pay debt made in con-
temptation thereof and not by them
under contract for payment of gold.
Therefore l favor the remonetiza-
tion of silver, but upon terms equit-
ably adjusting the equation of the
two metals, and upon this point l
do not agree with the gold bugs or
the silver king. The former con.
tends for the present price of the
bullit n, the latter Tor its price in
1878, and some where perhaps
midway between the two lies the
right. The present price is not
fair. because all Europe (Eagland
excepted) were active customers for
silver bullion as was also America
up to 1873. The price declined
because the demand ceased; now
when the largest customer comes
back to the market, he is not
willing or able to pay as much as
the eight nations heretofore paid,
all in competition, nor on the
contrary would he be permitted
to buy as cheap as when all includ'
ing himself was out of the market.
The effect upon the price made by
this new aud powerful purchaser
would be very marked, but it would
not nationally restore the former
price. The people are not, how
ever, in my opinion, az all interest
