BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, JAN. 20 1891

The forcarn,s were of the velour, with q
band of ostrich, all of which Went to make
one OF the handSOmrSt, dresses Of the
kind seen this season. She designs her own
dresses and sends her orders to Il prominent
French dressmaker, and they come home, rs
she said, realized dreams.'
A new visiting dress came with this,
which is very beautiful and ut the same
time Il marvel in style. 1t is of heavy black
brocade in irregular pattern, with here and
there a tiny line of vivid scarlet, so that it
reminds one of charred wood with little lines
of fire still burning. Around the bottom isu
full rutfle Of thick black grosgrain. and the
upper part OF the CorSaGe and sleeves are
draped with the same. The dress is also EN-
princesse, which is Il favoritc style for those
with good figures. \ fringe of Jet and gar
net hangs ut the waist. forming Il point. AS
l describe this superb gown my words do
not seem to give the proper value to it.
Nothing could be more perfect in the way
OF dress. The dainty bonnet with i. is of
black lace, and flame colored osprey with
black strings complete it.
In direct contrast to the richness of this
visiting robe is the quiet gown of the friend
she visits. This is made of slate gray
taille, with u band of dark green plush
around the skirt above Il row of en-
broidery. The front of the round waist is
OF green plush. and so are the sleeves, with
the exception of the puifs at the top. 1t is
Il quiet and genteel gown, very useful ut
home, and quite handy to wear shopping
or for Il brisk walk, which fashionable New
York would not forego for much.
Speaking of walking recalls to me IL very
comfortable bad weather and winter travel
ing wrap. 1t is made of very heavy diayo-
nal cheviot, and has long wings reaching
to the bottom of the skirt. The back of
the waist is laid i'll plaits. and the fullness
of them forms the skirt. \ belt goes
around it, and toit is, ii desired. appended a
neat little travelling bag. There are two
very deep pockets in front, and the wings
are faced with bright colored satin. \
border of fur may be placed around the
collar or not, according to personal prefer
ence. This wrap is calculated to protect
the wearer in everything but rainy weather.
When wraps are mentioned. by some nat
ural sequence of the mind one thinks of
bonnets. Given bonnets, wraps and shoes.

VISITING COSTUME.
HOUSE DRESS.

HOUSE DRESS VISITING COSTUME.
This relates to the wealthy people who
can afford to change often Or throw aside,
If they wish, whole furnishings, and whose
rooms will bear the light let in by the bet
ter arrangement.
For those who have hard work 20 make
ends meet, and who toll long to get a 'set'
of furniture, it IL not so easy to make the
change, for much of their furnishing is
more or less sham and depends upon the
little trifles to distract the eye from the
palpable soapbox ottoman and other things
of like nature.
Summing it up, the present best style is
to have the least amount of fancy work
and useless trifies about, and to endeavor
to give an impression of spaciousness in
stead of an overwhelming amount Of furni-
ture. A safe rule to follow is never to have
poor or imitation article in ones parlo,s
or reception rooms or a picture that is not
good.
These things are largely a marrer of pri-
vate taste, yet when fashion sets in so de-
cidedly toward true art in home decoru-
ton it is good to follow it as well as one
can. Any woman who tries can make her
home charming by always keeping one
ideal III her mind and getting every new
thing with the mental vision Of all her
other belongings before her. That way She
will make NJ mistake, though she does not
buy expensive things.
To be patient and economical and save
until she can buy and pay cash for each
added article CT furnishing is very hard to
an impulsive woman, but it is ten times
more satisfactory than to buy chintZ, Gre
tonne or other stuff and make chairs ont of
old barrels and sofas of packing boxes, and
from the experience of several persons of
my acquaintance should sayit was cheaper
too.
One witty lady said. I'VE thinl: we need
much more than we really do in this world,'
and that is true as regards furniture.
AS ! mention this lady Il picture OF her as
l saw her in her newest gown occurs to me.
The dress was an artistic sort of tea gown
end in every way was graceful. The back
was cut en- p%rirGe>se and was of blue and
gold corded uelo,Irs. The sleeves were OF
maize china silk, and SO was the front.
which fell loose from Il yoke made Of blue
and gold brocade. At the bust there was !.
crossband Of blue satin ribbon, which fell
i'll one deep loop, and one end of ribbon on
each side to the feet. Around the neck and
reaching down to the bust was Il band Of
white ostrich feathers tipped with yellow.
The train was bound with blue ribbon.

The Sign of the Three Balls.

The three gilded balls used by pawn
brokers are the three gilded pills which
the Florentine banking house of the Medici
assumed as their arms when they became
wealthy. The founder of the family had
been Il medicus; his children went into
banking and got rich; they assumed the
canting coat OF arms OF the pills, and hung
them out to show where their bank was
their business being largely in the nature
OF pawnbroking. Their rivals caught on
to the idea and hung up three golden
balls, and so their SUCCESSORS, having given
up banking. retain the balls as the emblem
OF the pawnbroking side of the business

Live Stock Points,

~ SlOGH 1OlHtSs
Begin the first Of this year, if you
never did before. to keep farm and live
stock accounts. In one part of your
farm account book set all of your en-
penditures. properly divided, from the
feed you buy for your live stock. if ny.
to the clothing and books you purchase
for your family. Set down every cent
you receive from any source-farm and
live stock products sold, etc. Balance
what the food for your stock costs you,
whether you raise it or buy it, against
the receipts you get from the stock. Sc
shall you know whether you are running
behind and whether some other branch
Of bookkeeping will not pay better. So
much for the farm account book. Now
for the farm journal. Keep a regular jour-
nal OF all the events of importance that oc-
cur in your business. Note the time when
your COWS, sows, ewes and mares are
bred, and the time when their offspring
is to be looked for. Make careful note
OF the date of birth. Dates of sowing
and reaping crops, with the amount of a
given crop gathered, are other things
that may go into the farm journal. Be-
sides being interesting reading, such ac-
count books and journals will be of great
value. They would have saved many a
farmer a lawsuit-possibly from bank
~ruptcy-if he had kept them.
There was once a stingy old hunks
who used to drive his bony oxen into the
barn every Christmas day and give them
all they could eat of corn. He thought
he was paving his way to heaven by civ.
ing the cattle enough to eat once a year,
but that would only take him half an
inch on the road. A man cannot 20 TIC

Mrs. Cleveland had just set the stamp of
her appreciation on the cozy little bonnet
OF noll felt in a russell brown. 1t is gath
cred on the crown and the fullness allowed
to fall in natural folds. There are four
plumes of red and green mixed, and brown
velvet strings-a simple looking little hat,
but probably not to be matched in this
country.
Another unique bonnet is of felt, with u
funny little crown surrounded with Il band
of jet and gilt. There is a flat little bow of
black lace and ribbon on the back, held
with a rhinestone star; the front has an up
right bow, intermingled with osprey
plumes, and held with a gilt buckle; velvet
strings.
The hat above these is of black felt,
plateau shape, with a shirred puff around
what crown there is Of turquoise blue satin.
The wide bow is of moss green faille, with
fringed out edges, and with a band of satin
cut bias and catstitched down the center.
Above the bow topple some hop blossoms
that have been gilded. The two bonnets
can be worn by young ladies by leaving off
the strings, but the married ladies would
not care to wear the hat.

Games Of Primitive Races.

The games of primitive races are chiefly
confined to children; the business of life
among uncivilized people is so hazardous
and difficult that they can spare no energy
Tor amusement. Even their boys and
girls, with plenty of time on their hands,
only find diversion in mimicry of adult
occupations. The men of Australian tribes
rely upon capture to obtain their wives,
and so the lads, armed with miniature
boomerangs and spears, play at carrying

The blue is becoming and pretty. but the
white veil is by all odds the most fa,tcring
OF all he;slgeAr. 1t softens the complexion,
so that the wearer needs no cosmetic. 1t is

passed the meridian Of life, and is beyyi,ch.

OF Mohammed are wise in wearing the en-
trancing white crepe lisse veil!

Raising Watches.

One day Willie came running to his
mother with a little round black thing ia
his hand. He wanted to know what it
was.

should plant it in the ground, before very
long it would begin to grow, and soon you
would have some lovely flowers"
If you plant things, will they grow:''
asked Willie.
Yes" said his mother. She was very
busy just then and did not pay very much
attention to what he was saying.
The next day his mother missed her
watch. She looked for it every where. At
last she asked Willie if he had seen it.
"Oh, yes, mamma" he answered.; lit is
all safe. planted it in the garden, and
soon we will have a lot of little watches"
Come at once and show me where you
planted it," said his mother.
After some time they found it. 1t was
covered with damp earth and very nearly
spoiled.

Willie spent half an hour in the closet. He
does not think raising watches is a useful
occupation.-Anna Nj. Talcott.

Those who nave tested it have found that there is a dcud.y

work than a cake OF the ordinary, poorly made, highly clemicalnG

The Piers of the Aqueduct Bridge.

The Piers of the Aqueduct Bridge.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The STAR Of the 9th instant has an interview
with Mr.. c. B. Hunt, engineer in charge Of Dis
trict bridges, in which that gentleman is reported
as saying: The safety of the Aqueduct bridge
under existing circumstances seems beyond
reasonable question"
This may be true, but, If so, what has Mr.
Hunt to say in explanation Of e report made by
the diver, who examined the piers OF said bridge,
which report was Endorsed as correct by Mr..
Hunt, Capt Symonds and the District Commits
sioners, and transmitted to the President and
Congress in the annual report of the District
Commissioners for 1889, which is in direct con-
fict with the late statement Of Capt. Hunt, as
quoted above, as will be seen by the following.
which copy from page $50 Of said report, to
witt
"Pier No. 6, north side-Masonry in good
condition, except at northwest nose. where
there is large cavity. where the masonry has
fallen down northwsrd, SO that man can walk
under the archway Of the pier
Now this statement is either true or 1t is not.
II true, then the safety Of the Aqueduct
bridge is not beyond reasonable question, as
stated by Engineer Hunt II not true, then
why allow thofalsehood to stand in an official
annual report uncontrolled?
/ Al the Arlington Railroad Company has made
application for the use OF this bridge and a.
large numbers OF people are liable to pass over
the bridge on public occasions, such Is Dscora-
ton day. and on occasions like the funeral of
Gen. sheridan, 1t would seem a. IL no
time should be lost in giving the piers
Of this bridge q thorough examination, also
the new IRON structure that rests upon them,
which in some respects is . sham affair.

to the floor beneath them with short screws
which have worked so loose that think Il no
sxaggeratiou tosay that one strong man could

An Attempt at Suicide.

Yesterday afternoon Anthony Bertholiard, an
Italian of forty-five years, who had been en-
ployed in the Agricultural grounds, was dis
covered in his room at the boarding house of
Mrs. Smith, $40 7th street. with a severe cut on
his thr oat and saturated with blood. The
servant girl at once informed Mrs. Smith and
the Drs. Hammett Gather and sony responded
and directed that he be sent to Providence
Hospital. which was done. This, however, was
no easy matter, for the officers in moving him
found him to be frantic and that he was evil
IDENTIFY insane, threatening to put end to his
existence. 1t is supposed that loss Of employ
ment has driven him to desperation. 1t Is
thought that he will recover
