short she can be the living expression Of
her mothers fancies, and can show any de-
gree Of good or bad taste, depending upon
the parents judgment.
1t would be a mother having a taste for
rich materials and a long purse to purchase
with who could choose for her little girl the
rich and handsome dress Of the next Illus
tration- 1t Is made of white beaded satin
after the old-time Dutch models, and the
tiny bodice Is heavily whaleboned. The
gored skirt attached to II is stiffened until
1t almost stands alone. and the inside is
garnished with a white silk frill. The
bodice fastens in back and 1t and the skirt
are trimmed with pale green silk braid as
shown. The epaulettes over the tiny bal
loon sleeves are made of brocade, finished
with braid TIL, skirt measures about one
and three-quarter yards around the bottom
and Is gathered to the bodice with slight
fullness- The braid trimming commences in
'front.' where the skirt joins the bodice, then
continues downward and then with round
"a corners runs around the back, parallel
with the lower hem. A full chiffon ruching
goes around the neck

bodice finished with squares of velvet that

close Dutch cap. All this while the little

or silk finished with deep bias fold Of
plain blue silk around the bottom of the
skirt The latter Is joined to the bodice by
four rows of gathers. The neck Is cut in
pointed decollette and edged with a frill of
white lace put on with small head. A blue
ribbon belt ties around the waist and with
long loops and ends behind.
The small boy Is a bit of puzzle to the
mother who desires him to be a real boy
from the very first When he Is a very wee
small boy; that is. when he is a baby in
long clothes, she can dress him in a way
that shows he is boy, but later it is diff
hcult, and from year to three 1t is quite
a problem to make a boy attractive and
still boyish. But at three there is no more
trouble for then he may go into breeches.
A sailor suit of the smallest size and for
the youngest wearers is shown as the COM
panion figure to the little girls dress just
described. 1t is made of white Jersey cloth
with a sash of blue silk, a blue cloth collar
and cuffs to match. The blouse closes with
white horn buttons and has two pockets on
the left side. In front there is a plastron,
embroidered with a blue silk anchor, fas-
tening at one side and buttoning over to the
other. or it can be made separately and
others substituted when a change Is desired
The sash has a heavy knotted fringe The
breeches have three horn buttons on the
outer seam.

An AprOned Pair.

Another charming dress for a little one
Of SIX or eight years Is portrayed at the
left in the last picture. 1t Is made Of dark
green wooden stun strewn with salmon
colored flowers and trimmed with green
velvet. The skirt Is made Of straight
breadths, 10 gathered to the bodice and II
garnished with a bias fold of velvet and
lined with satin. The seam where skirt
and bodice Join is hidden by a bias velvet
belt hooking with clasp at the side. The
bodice has a fitted lining and has full back
and fronts. 1t Is trimmed with velvet bre-
telles, which end in rounded points in front
and back. The sleeves have a tight lining
and are quite full, being gathered into a
narrow cuff A pink batiste apron Is worn
over the dress. 1t Is tucked three times
at the bottom and Is edged with embroidery.
Straps cross over the shoulders and are but
toned to the waist band. These are edged
with embroidery bretelles. Another pretty
apron Is shown on the other youngster. 1t
Is made Of straight breadths Of striped ba-
tiste shirred four times at the waist and
which IL edged with a vaIenciennes frill
It buttons at the back. and the bottom Is
sarnished with one wide and two narrow
tucks.
At about eight, when the gowns begin to

The PerspectoRraph. n German Tnven-
tion. for Use In the Arts.
The oft felt wish Of many Of our artistic
readers. to be able to enlarge original draw
frgs without much trouble has hitherto
Season. they will certainly rejoice to hear
of clever little invention by which many
technical difficulties may be overcome. The
leading feature is an elastic band, on which
a small bead is threaded. AS this bead fits
50 tight that It can only be moved when
the elastic Is stretched to the utmost. we
may consider II to be firm wherever fixed.
One end Of the Ella site is secured between
two metal plates forming a sort Of button.
and the other runs into the movable center
Of an ordinary pencil case. which turns to
prevent the twisting OF the elastic when in
use The button, the small original and the
ing pins on the drawing board. the two
former to the upper left part. Then the
pencil Is taken in the hand and guided to
follow the movements Of the bead over
the outlines of the original. Curious as the
work seems at first. the hand soon becomes
accustomed to the involuntary motion and
begins to feel as II 1t were drawing with the
bead itself rather than with the pencil.
while the effect Is both useful and interest
ing.
The directions and Instrument are equally
easy, the actual length Of the elastic hav-
ing nothing to do with the proportions; the
position of the bead alone determines the
size of the copy. Say, for instance, the
original measures eight and one-half inches
high and We wish the copy to be twenty
two, all we have to do is to place the pen
ell at twenty-five inches, and the head at
eight and one-half. When thus arranged
1t Is impossible to obtain other proper
lions. whatever the relative position of
original. copy or paper may be. The above
described instrument can, however, only
be used for large designs, as the bead en-
braces too much space to allow of very fine
lines, so for photographs. miniatures, small
engravings. &c. a somewhat finer appar-
atus is preferable. BY it's aid the finest as
well the thickest lines can be produced
In place of the bead we have a strip of
metal. with a point fine as a needle
capable of tracing the smallest curves or
features: this is fixed between two paral-
lei elastic bands, whose ends are fastened
with spring to two metal discs, ending in
the pencil case and the motive power of
the needle. otherwise the rules are the
same as for the single thread apparatus
The new perspectograph is a patented Ger
man invention.

An American woman writes to the Euro-

the subject OF the habit of smoking among
women as follows:
10 smoke or not to smoke-that seems

FEMININE circles. The October number of

LoUDEsT NOISE EVER HEARD.

II Issued From the Throat OF q VOL
cano and Was Heard l,7OO Miles Away
No thunder from the skies was ever &C.
companied with a roar OF such vehemence
as that which issued from the throat of the
great volcano in Krakatoa an islet lying In
the Straits OF Sunda. between Sumatra and
Jlva, at 10 O'Clock on Monday morning,
August q. 1855. says a writer In the Youths
Companion. As that dreadful Sunday night
wore on the noise increased In intensity
and frequency. The explosions succeeded
each other SO rapidly that q continuous
roar seemed to issue from the island. The
critical moment was now approaching snd
the outbreak was preparing for a majestic
elimination. The people OF Batavia did not
sleep that night Their windows quivsred
resounded like the discharge Of artillery
In their streets. Finally at 10 O'Clock on
Monday morning a etupendous CONFUSION
took place which far transcribed any Of
the shocks which had preceded IT. This
supreme effort IL was which raised tho
mightiest noise ever heard on this globe.
Batavia In ninety-five miles distant from
i AZ carimon,, Jsva s& miles
away, reports were heard on that Sunday
morning which led to the belief that there
must be some vessel In the distance which
was dfscharging its guns an signals OF dis
make a search; they presently returned. as
nothing could be found In want of succor
The reports were sounds which had come
all the way from Krakatoa- AZ Macassar.
In Celebes loud explosions attracted the
notice Of everybody. Two steamers were
hastily sent out 10 find what was the mat
ter. The sounds had Travelled from the
Straits of Sunda a distance of $50 miles.
But mere hundreds OF miles will not sufice
to Illustrate the extraordinary distance to
which the greatest noise that ever was
heard was able to penetrate. The figures
have to be expressed in thousands. This
seems almost Incredible, but It Is certainly
true. In the Victoria plains. In West Aus
tralia. the shepherds were startled by
noises like heavy cannonadine. II was some
time nfterward before they learned that
their tranquility had been disturbed by the
grand events then proceeding at Krakatos-
4 100 miles away.

A pretty dress which can be made OF

little girl Is a delight to any mother who

Is too dainty, too rich or too quaint for her.
She may follow her mammals fashions in q
manner that Is simply distracting, or she
may wear picture gowns all of her own
which copy those of the DANES Of any
period She may wear the lovely Kate
Greenaway rigs. or long skirts Of big
figured old time muslins, and the skirts may
stand out stifny over as many as three stiff
muslin petticoats. The little bodice may be
on her pretty shoulders, and the sleeves may
be such big puffs that 1t Is all she can do
to clasp her little fat hands together, and
to cap the delicious climax her hair may be
twisted up on top Of her funny little head,
ana bobby little curls left to hang over her
ears she may wear gown OF heavy ivory
satin that trails on the floor and hangs

No longer in the hammock swings
Out on the side veranda;
No longer trembies in its folds

While Willie Johnson bravely holds
Der to prevent her falling.

While ruminati over
Those pleasant summer nights. when high
The moon was sailing over
And Willie Johnson's tenor crooned
The songs most TO her LIKING
Ecstattc nights on which they spooned

And squeeze on the veranda,

Save her. and does II nightly,
From falling on the soft divan
Just every bit as tightly!

The razor-back pigs Of Taylor county,

frequently climb trees to shake down nuts
when they are slow about dropping. Some
OF them saw down great nut trees with
