Hnw CrinoIinn Is used.

Talking with a celebrity on feminine
costume a day or two ago Tightly touched
the mooted point-crinoline-and asked
the mastery opinion on the subject.
"Crinoline," replied the young man, "as
we employ it, is not likely TO detract
from feminine grace or loveliness. On
the contrary, all l desire is to give a con-
sistent appearance to the materials en-
ployed, and for that purpose some con-
venient and as light as possible material
has had to be adopted. Alpaca woven

A versntIIe literary Woman.

Probably one Of the most versatile lit
erary women in tho country today is
Miss Alice e. Ives. Her newspaper work
is phenomenally voluminous, and she
writes any number Of funny sketches,
humorous and sentimental verses and
short novelettes for the weeklies and
magazines.
Miss Ives best humor, though, is ex-
hibited in her plays, or perhaps it is be-
cause it is brought into sharp and abrupt
contrast here with her magnificent pa
thetic and tragic work. She has written
two OF three meritorious comedies. The
range Of Miss Ives work may be under
stood when / mention that she is the
principal art critic ON two Sunday pa
pers and n voluminous contributor to
The Art Amateur and two or three mag
azines besides writing any number Of
short stories for the daihes and week
lies.-New York Recorder.

cnrolessness with Powder.

Michael Faraday, the great scientist,
and Sir Charles Lyell, were sent as gov
ernment commissioners to watch the in
quest upon those who had died by the
explosion in the Haswell colliery in 1874.
Faraday cross examined the witnesses
very pertinently. Among other ques-
tions he asked how the rate of flow of
air currents was measured. An in
spector, in reply, took a pinch Of gun
powder from a box, as if it were snuff,
and let it fall through the flame Of a can
die. His companion, with watch, not

certain distance.
The method satisfied Faraday, but he
remarked upon the careless handling u
the powder and asked where it was
kept. "In bag, tightly tied" was the
reply. eyes, but where do you keep the
bagg" "You are sitting on it," answered
the inspector carelessly. Faraday's agil-
ity in vacating the seat of honor may be
imagined. Washington News.

Women Of TheIr Period.

In the great momentum Of the women
movement, which gains new victims
every day, one is inclined to overlook
the fact that woman was a power moral
ly, socially and intellectually in the fif-
teenth century as well as the nineteenth,
that the doors of the universities were
open to her not only to study but to
teach within their sacred precincts. In
the University of Salamanca she had a
place, and when Isabella of Spain de-
sired to acquire the Latin tongue it was
to woman that she turned for tutor.
In Italy, even in the thirteenth century,
a noble Florentine lady won the palm Of
oratory in a public contest in Florence
with learned doctors from all over the
world.-New York Sun.

BIG SALE oF LAW BOOKS.

Auctioneer stidham knocks Down the
Library of the Late Chief Justice Rob-
insOn.
The biggest sale Of law books known
here for many years, was that held yes
terday at the auction rooms of Stidham
& Sons, No. III East Fourth street.
They constituted the library of the late
Chief Justice Alfred p. Robinson, and
were sold by order Of his Administrative.
When the sale began there were about
/ 200 volumes on the shelves.
Many Wilmington lawyers were present.
Judge Marvel. Edward ID. Hearne,
Charles f. Richards and Charles w.
McFee, Of the Sussex county bar were
also present.
The bidding was active, and the prices
fair None of the bids were large
enough, however, TO merit particular
attention.
The books were appraised at 50. COO.
The receipts will probably exceed the
appraisement by small amount.

street Railway Crossings.

Grade crossings on street railways are
as dangerous as on trunk lines and
should be just as carefully protected. II
a railroad company should cross the
tracks of another, leaving the chances OF
collision to be avoided solely by the
watchfulness of the engineer, there would
be a great hue and cry. Yet similar
carelessness is passed over in the case OF
street railways, though the danger is
even greater on account Of the increased
frequency with which the tracks are
used.--Kate Fields Washington.

Trnvelers should Always Take Notes.

First rule for all travellers: Set down
everything you see in notebook; never
travel without u notebook. Make notes
of all you observe, if it is only a bank of
primroses. Note the people in the car
riage; what they are like; what they talk
about; how the women are dressed; what
books they are reading; if they look hap
py or not. 1t is interesting when the
country is dull to watch the faces Of
your fellow travellers and to construct
in general terms their future, their pres
ent and their past. And in few years
know not whether it is more sad or more
delightful to open these old notebooks
and to remember when they were filed.

The comment Of the venerable patriot,
Louis Kossuth, on Gladstone's scheme
for Home Rule is not important; because,
as be states in making IL, he knows very
little OF the underlying principles on
which Gladstone works
Opinions based on ignorance are Of
course, Of little value, no matter from
whom they emsnate. II Louis Kossuth
does not know the principles on which
the Home Rule bill is founded, his com.
ments are valueless, except as special
phenomena, aud for their intrinsic worth
as applied TO anything else. But his
opinion Of the probable autonomy of
Ireland is Of more Importance as a dis.

If the people of Ireland had ever been
able to agree upon anything they wanted
they could have blocked all other legis-

But they did not agree; in fact they did
not know what they wanted. Some
wanted one thing and others wanted
another thing; while still another party
was always formed to antagonize them
both.
In addition to that, Kossuth shows a
poor acquaintance with the cardinal
principles of these United States. and
