In the straits settlements the Chi
nese appear to be occasionally more
than a match fot the Western bar
barian. 1t is the practice of the
merchants selling goods to receive
payment I'm rolls of copper coin done
up in paper, each roll containing so
cents, and it ha. occurred to some of
their customers to substitute for the
rolls packages containing piece OF
bar iron the exact size and weight of
a roll of 4S cents. An ordinary cent
is put on each end of the bar, in case
the end of the roll should be opened.
One merchant, 1t is stated, received
recently $40 in alleged rolls of copper,
and found, on opening them, that
each roll contained two cents and an
lion bar. The unlucky dupe, it is
added, failed to obtain conviction
from lack of sufficient evidence.

those dreadful things, are basted Into
the corset cover armhole. They change
as often as my lady changes her corset
cover and are washed as often as the
covers are. OF, course. The old untidy
custom OF having protectors fastened
into q dress sleeve, staying there as
long as the dress Is worn, Is all done
away. II you do not wear corset COW
ers, and do not want TO-, then you have
your protectors slipped into a fine linen
bag, made Just to At. which has little
ribbons at each end. There are rib
bons In the armholes OF your dress, and
the protector Is tied In and Is not put
away in the dress when the dress Is
taken off, but are united and taken out.
The best protector is heavy odorless
rubber.

an underdress of silk or satin both for
the skirt and bodice. The skirt of this
frock is gathered in at the waist and is
trimmed with tulle ruche about the
neck and bottom OF the skirt, over which
passes a garland of roses OF a delicate
shade, with buds and leaves complete,
anu which on one side pass half way up
the skirt. The waist Is covered with
tuile very full, and at tho back has a.
very wide sash, which fastens under
large bow. Bands of roses form the
braces, and both the waist band and the
sash are made of satin. Turning to the

Care OF the Hair.

The hair brush should have long,
soft bristles that will go quite
through the hair and remove every
particle Of dust, and must, above all
things, be imnacutely clean. A
comb is rarely necessary IL the hair is
well brushed, but when used should
be coarse one. A fine comb is apt
TO break and split the hair. At night
the hair should be braided loosely,
tied with soft ribbon and allowed
to hang. In this way complete
rest is afforded it, and it is prevented
from breaking. Some care should be
given to the selection Of pins. Coarse,
rough or sharply pointed pins should
be avoided, as they will eventually
spoil the most beautiful hair. The
best and safest pins are those made
of amber or tortoise shell.-Godey's
Magazine.

THAT eminent'y generous man,
Baron Hirsch, who won vast sums on
the racing turf last season, is hasten
ing to give them ali away in charity.
lie has arranged that after his death
all his racers shall be sold and that
hospitals shall be founded with the
proceeds. Thus race horses good for
nothing but sport in their lives, will
prove OF solid utility to the human
race after they are dead. All our
great turf patrons might well follow
Baron Hirsch's example.

/, A BILL has been introduced into
the California Legislature to abolish
consent marriages. There seems to
be NO reason why it should not pass.
Ia tho carly Gays, when ranchers
were sometimes two and three days
journey from magistrate or min
lister, young people sometimes would
take each other for husband ana wife
by the simple formality Of mutual con-
sent. There is no excuse for any such
loose practice now, when every one
can reach between sunrise and sun
set some official clothed with the
power of solcmnlzing marriages. The
recognition OF consent marriages at
the present day merely opens door
for the schemes of adventurcsses.

They are descended from the Scyth-
ians of antiquity, and are barbarous
and superstitious. OF swarthy CON-
plexion, short in stature. with fiat.
tened face and coarse, black hair, they
repel the advances of more civilized
peoples. They lead a wandering life,
moving about in tribes. Their tents
are fashioned of sticks, overlaid with
skins and pieces OF felt and are conf
cally shaped, hole being left in the
top for the escape Of smoke. The
majority OF them belong to the relig-
ion Of Buddha. They marry young,
the males at Is and females at ID.
The marriage ceremony consists in
the couple holding shoulder Of NUT
ton wrapped in cloth, and pledging
their troth before the idols. Divorce
is prohibited by law among them,
but custom, nevertheless, allows a
man to discard his wife.
Their treatment of the dead is
strange and revolving. The bodies
are carried to distance from the en-
campment and left to be devoured by

Relic OF a Being sixty Feet High.

What scientists pronounce to be the
most valuable relic ever discovered in
this country was recently found in a
gravel pit in Montana and Is now in the
possession OF Col. Ray, OF Dickinson,
N. d. II is believed that this relic
formed part OF the backbone OF biped
sixty feet high. The hole in the bone
where the spinal cord passed is as big
as mans hand. This size is indica-
tive of brain power and scientists are
convinced that because the hole is so
large the bone never could have be-
longed to an ape.

The last illustration shows another
house dress of light gray bengaline,
with corselet belt of satin ribbon, knot
ted behind and falling in long ends.
There are deep cuffs and sort OF yoke
OF point Orlando guipure. The skirt
has no train, but Is slightly longer at
the back than at the front. The lace
which falls over the front and back Is
craped TO cover nearly all the shoulder
seam. The corselet is made on whale
bones; these bones occupy the place of
the waist seams. For this purpose ono
Is placed In the middle of the front, one
sbetween the darts. and one on the under
arm seam; the remainder of the sash
being knotted at the back does not re-
quire to be boned. The material for
the sleeve is cut very full and gathered
on 10 the lining. so that IL stands
up at the top in two little horns. First,
find the middle OF the material, and
the middle OF the tight-fltting lining,
and make q notch on each. Then pro-
coed to gather the material in the usual
way. beginning about two inches from
the bend of the arm, and stopping
about two inches from the notch In the
material. Fasten the gathers on the
lining. stopping an inch from the lining
notch. Then recommence TO gather tive
inches from the other side OF the ma
terlal notch. thus leaving four inches
plain in the center OF the material. Fix
these gathers TO the lining also, leaving
an inch on this side OF the lining not.h
plain. Then take the material which is
loose at the top, and drawing 1t well up
from the sleeve, form the two little
horns on the plain part OF the lining,
making them stand out wei from the
contour OF the sleeve. This way OF
draping the sleeve is quite new and
gives an air Of originality TO the dress.

attached fastens on the shoulder.

Now dhat the elegance OF a gown de-
ponds nearly all upon the sleeves, you can
with very little work secure an effect OF
elegance. You can bead or paint
enough for sleeves, CT stripe the top

two puffs or the one big one with strips
OF fine stuff, ribbon like, only loosely.
1t is worth while to get enough gold
lace or net of good quality, so 1t will not
tarnish, to make two big covers for the
puffs. With these slipped over the
sleeves of your white brocade, short
WASTED bodice, and a gold girdle, you
make another dress out OF your white
silk gown. Or, thus you may make the
white brocade bodice do for two dress
es-the one with a heavy brocade skirt,
perhaps beaded with gold, with which,
OF course, you would wear the bodice
fixed with the gold sleeves; the other
just very full soft skirt of either India
silk or crepe, and this without the gold

gowns would be OF so different char

economy. Besides, remember how

lowing the fashion with as little outlay
as possible. Thus it is wise now to
take up the Empire, because in this
field we can use up the materials OF our
out-of-fashion dresses. After the wear
Is had from those materials 1t will do 10
take up crinolines. We would by then
have to get new stuff anyhow, and at
least the crinoline style will give us
