There seems to be no end to the dis

teria, and the relations of those mi
croscopic organisms to the we'll being

that the peculiar fiavors which charac-
terize different kinds or brands of TO-
bacco are due to the presence Of bac.

which recent Investigations by Ger.

process called sweating Is gone through

1t has been supposed that the chem

But according to Suchsland's exDen-
ments it appears that the micro-orean-
isms may be the real cause OF the
changes.
He has examined tobacco, which had
been cured, from all parts OF the world.

BEWILDERING RICHNESS AND
BEAUTY.
We must lay our ball gowns aside
until Easter festivities begin, only to
find them, perhaps, out Of date beside
these new products of fairy looms.
Just at present dealers are opening
trunks of new spring wool fabrics and
imported street gowns, which, in rich
ness and beauty, divide the honors with
evening goods, and for the immediate
present surpass them in utility.
Russian whipcords, vigogue, tweed,
serge, cameps hair, silk and wool ben
galines, tricots, the so-called Scotch
plaids, and, above all, goods in corded
and changeable effects, will be fash
ionable for street wear. Contrasting
materials to be made up with these
fabrics are velvet satin ribbons, and,
less frequently, fine cords and gilt
braids. The last consignments display
the 1880 model, trimmed with ribbon
flouncings to the waist, ribbon bretelles,

or plated finely and is fastened to the

lends it a certain stiff sauciness. One

to be an extremely popular type as

cratic ticket, and has several times
been in the legislature, was the prose-
cutting attorney for Gilmer County. He
drew up an Indictment filled with all
the legal verbiage of which a country
lawyer is possessed, which went to
show that one Jacob Watt, with a
gun, the value. of which was 81, and
which was then and there charged with
gunpOWder and lead, or some other
destructive substance in his hand, did
Willfully discharge and off, to, against
and upon the said sheep, the property
of one Jacob Burke, and the lead or
other destructive substance did strike,
penetrate and wound the said sheep,
causing it to linger and fall, and that
said David Watt did set upon the said
sheep, and with sharp and dangerous
instrument wound, cut and maltreat it
so that it died. All this was according
to the testimony of one Will Greenleaf,
an eyewitness, and against the peace
and dignity of the State Of West Vir-

find a true bill, but the case never
came to trial, and legally Jacob and

ing among presumably well informed
persons. Certain patent fuels have
been put on sale, to be used in stoves
without chimney connection, and are
advertised as being entirely harmless.
The natural result has followed. Gull
ible merchants, ministers and even doc
tors have been buying them and near
ly smothering themselves or their
friends with the gases which must re-
suit from the combustion Of any form
OF carbon. The makers of these fuels
state that ventilation is required with
their apparatus, but their customers
reason, why let in the cold air if the
fuel Is harmless, as stated? or they
imagine that one opening from room
into a hallway secures "ventilation." "
Probably most Of the victims of the
patent fuels have read about the pro-
cess of combustion, but they have not
learned its nature from experiments
that would make this knowledge real
to them. Their education has been of
the antiquated but not yet abandoned
kind which substitutes the study of
books for the study of things. As an

satin rit Ion give an additional fare.
The bodice, which hooks behind, is
fitted closely; the shoulder seams eX-
tend we'll over the shoulder tips, and
the hCllcws between the curves of bust
and arms are rather heavily padded to
remedy resulting wrinkles Of this mis-
fit" A folded empire belt reaches to
the breast line The thoroughly novel
part of the costume is the bretelle of
"donkeys' ears" These are nothing
less than a cluster of butternut satin
ribbons fastened like the ears of that
animal and attached in four pairs to
the gown. The largest pair reached
half across the balloon sleeves. The
collar is of ribbon, edged at the top
and bottom with narrow ruffles of the
same.
The time of fasting and prayer and
theater-going has come. There are sew
eral Meccas toward which the feet of
all good women are now turned. There
is the Lenten sewing circle, the daily
church service and the theater. Just
why the theater is excepted from the
list of amusements which arc to be
tabooed during this season does not
plainly appear to the New York World.
But while the reason is somewhat
shadowy, the fact is established beyond
a doubt. Therefore. every woman's
wardrobe should be enriched by one or
more convenient and becoming theater
wraps. The long wrap shown in the
cut is one of the new broche cloths
The upper threads are of wool, in a
beautiful shade of old rose. The under
threads are Of silk, silvery blue in tone,
and forming an irregular pattern of
buds and leaves. The wrap is lined
with changeable surah, in which blue
and silver-gray are mingled. A puffed
ruffle extends around the shoulders,
and above that the cloth is shirred in
to the neck and then flares out again.
Inside this collar is great soft ruche,
as it were, Of the palest blue feathers.
The shorter wrap is Of moss-green
brCadcloth. The little shoulder cape
is put ON in a novel way, with box
plait on each side of the front. Both
this cape and the high rolling collar
are embroidered with a band in gold
thread. The lining, which in the mill
tary capes of the season is the feature
that gives them their greatest claim to
beauty, is in this case of heavy gold
colored satin, with large figures, in
which the shading Is of mOss-green.

MARRIED HIS GRANDFATHER,s
WIDOW.

4 Californian Whose Complicated
Family Relations Beat the Record.
The strangest combinations resulting
from the marriage of relatives the
Pomona (Cal) Progress has ever heard
Is that Of the family of Lewis Osborne,
who recently removed to Pomona from
Selma, Fresno county. Mr.. Osborne
says he has been ten years in trying to
unravel the perplexities of relation
ship that his second marriage has caus-
ed. In 1883 he married a young widow,
who was his own grandfather's third
Wlfe. Ihe couple have little son.
Given this simple statement and num-
Der of peculiar family relationships
may be deduced. Tor example, Mr..
Osborne is grandchild of his wife.
His son, being also a son of his (Os-
borne's) grandfather, is uncle to his
own father. Osborne becomes broth
er to his uncles and aunts, and also a
stepfather to them. The boy being a
child OF Osborne as a grandson, is
thereby a greatgrandson of his own
mother, while his father may rejoice
In the title Of great-grandfather to his
own child. Thus the boy become &
grand-uncle to himself and his parents
great-grandchild. Osborne is the boys
father and great-grandfather at the
same time, and, being the husband of
his own grandmother, enjoys the distin-
ton of being his own grandfather as
we'll. Osborne's mother married man
named Blake, and his sister married a
s6fother-in-law of her mother, Henry
Blake. Osborne's sister becomes sis
ter to her own mother. Mrs. Blake,
being Osborne's mother, is grandmoth-
er to Osborne's son.
The latter, however, being q son Of
the wife Of Mr.. Blake's father-in-law,
Is therefore a brother to his grand
mother and granduncle to bis grand
mothers sister. the daughter who mar
ried Mrs. Blake's brother-in-law. He
also is her nephew, as the son of her
brother. Osborne is the younger Mrs.
Blake's grandfather as we'll as her
brother. Thus her nephew, Osborne's
son, becomes uncle to his aunt, being
O son Of her grandmother. The series
Of relationships may be likewise traced
almost indefinitely. The family are
happy and contented, and live as pleas
antly as though the peculiar family ties
were not present.

The love of the marvellous in the

The coming Of the Guernseys caused
quite a commotion in the live stock

be fought by the Guernseys, the Jer-
seys and the other great breeds Of milk
and butter producers, the object being
to settle once for all the question of SUI
periority. The Jerseys came to the
grounds about month ago and are
stabbed in one of the pretty live stock
houses south of the agricultural build
ing. There are forty-seven of them,
and Jersey fanciers who picked them
out for the battle made selections from
eighteen states. There is q heap of

barber and one of his customers the
other day as to the composition Of a

using on the others head The barber
maintained that it was mainly alcohol,
and the other contended that it was
nothing but soap and water, and told
the barber to prove it by putting a
lighted match to his head, which was
then saturated with the fluid. The bar
Der did 80, and instantly the customers
head was enveloped in flames. The bar
