In 1884, relates the Chicago Herald.
the city of ST. Louis passed an ordi-
nance charging telegraph and tele-
phone companies $50 year for each
pole erected in tine streets. The COM
panies contested the validity of the
ordinance, and it was pronounced void
in the lower courts. An appeal was
laken and final decision was rem
aered by the United States supreme
court. 1t was held that the ordinance
was valid; that the charge made was
not license tax, but was in the ma
lnre of ground rent which the city had

A Queer Chinese Feast.

OF the many feasts of the Chinese
the most remarkable is known as
"The Feast of Lanterns" 1t is cele-
brated on the fifteenth day of the first
month of each year. On this occasion
every person is obliged to set out Lam
terms at his doors and windows, the
size, number and coIors of which de-
pend on the financial standing or the
fanaticism of the devotee. During
this festival they spend their time in
attending all sorts of entertainments,
such as balls, plays. fan-tan assem-
blies, dancing halls, etc. The millions
of different colored lanterns are each
prouided with from two to a dozen,
and some of the largest (Which are in
some instances as big as a small
house) are provided with 107 candles,
never more, and surrounded with
bon fires.
The Chinese ascribe the origin of
this festival to the following melan-
choly occurrence: One evening, as
the daughter of an old Mandarin was
walking by the side of river, she
fell in and was drowned. The dis
consulate father, in order to recover
the body, which had been observed to
float out into the ocean at the mouth
of the river, put to sea, attended by
all the people of the neighborhood,
each carrying lantern; but, after a
fruitless search, they were forced to
return without the body of the girl.
The old Mandarin was a man much
beloved by the people, and ever since.
upon the annual recurrence of the
day when the child was drowned, the
people of that vicinity take lanterns
and stroll up and down the seashore
and back a way from the mouth of the
river, each lantern-bearer pretending
TO be in search of something. The
custom of lighting the lanterns gradu-
ally spread all over China. The peo-
pie outside of the immediate neigh
borhood of where the girl was
drowned, however. do not go to the
trouble of doing more than light and
set out their lanterns. Louis

FASHION NOTES.

The light and medium shades in
bengaline are exquisite this season.
Lace seems to be the favorite orna-
mentation for the grenadines and china
silks.
Elegant black nets, for evening cos
tunes, have spangled border and
all-over jet designs.
Collar capes are much worn, and
are SO made that they can be removed
in the house. Balloon sleeves still
reign.
Shaded velvet sleeves with contrast
ing costumes, and plaid velvet sleeves
and blue or green cloth gowns are
popular.
Paris artists in dress encourage the
mixture of pale blue, mignonette
green, and heliotrope iii brocadcs and
shot silks.
Black walls figured with extremely
small rosebuds or forget-me-nots in
natural colors in chenille are used for
dsassy occasions.
Most of the dresses that are now
being made have no darts at the top Of
the skirt, the fulness being gathered
into the waist band.
Corselets are as fashionable as ever,
and they are made of all kinds of
materials, wool, silk, velvet, brocade,
embroidery and lace.
Red cloth driving-capes are finished
with triple shoulder-capes of velvet
and trimmed with black silk guipure
lace and jet ornaments.
Beautiful table scarfs are orna-
mented now with satin and long stitch
embroidery, intermixed with open
work and other fancy stitches.
All short-waisted effects, especially
for evening gowns, promise to be
popular, though for street dresses the
waist line is the regulation mark.
All manner of odd little waists, to
be worn with the same plain skirt of
servieeable black silk. are of great
help in producing pleasant variety in
the wardrobe.
The severely plain costumes and
taiIor-made suits are as popular as
ever for the street and travelling. but
are giving place to the more elab-
orately trimmed dresses for the house.

THE BoNY MAIDEN's INNINGS.

The bony maiden will rejoice for
the new styles are Just her style ex-
actly. There are, among other things,
walkiug-jackets, with high, faring
collar, stiff shoulder capes looped up
with rosettes, leg-o'-mutton sleeves,
and q half-glrde fastened in front
with third rosette. The dresses are
all short, all wide, all tsimmed, and
all silk rutflcs inside; tho waists are
all short, with girdles, ham-shaped
sleeves, and zouave jacl.et-pieces of
haring brctelles of the material, lined
and trimmed to make them still more
asseriive. Even the silk shirt waists,
to wear with shop-made jackets and
skirts, are punched up and puffed up
with extravagant ruflles, collar-capes,
and gathered sleeves thirty-six inches
wide at the top. Verify the attenuated
damsel will be very deceptive when
she is dressed in her new suit.-TSan
Francisco Argonant.

Saws the New York Observer:
..Among our books of the past year
We find more than one, as was the
ease last holiday season. treating of
lbe romance and rescue of old New
England homes. Such places can be
bought more cheaply today than a
lree-claim in North Dakota. and in
every far Eastern state they are adj
yertised for taxes. Those of us who
are in among the New England hills
with more or less frequency know the
aspect of an abandoned farm only too
veil. The orchards are thick with
sprouts as a copse of wild plums on
The bauks of the Missouri. The old
time gardens are rank with 5urdock
and fierce with bayonets of thistle.
The well, from which labor once
drank such sweet draughts of refresh
ing GOODNESS, is choked to the brim
with refuse. The meadow is one
hinge mullen camp, and the pasture a
warren for the rabbits. A few lean
ing timbers of oak mark the site of
The rotting clder-mi!l. Even the
choice ''home-acre," shows oaly lean
ing cabin, stone-cold hearth, and q
few broken piekets behind which
ven the cinnamon rose will no lonSer
,G0oun.
