Fashions In Gloves.

For evening length from 6 to 12 buttons are still fashionable. In Paris they have either no buttons at all or arc of tho mousquetaire kind, fasten. ing only with a couple at the wrist Four buttons are universally adopted for day wear. The fashionable tones nre gray and slate, with various gradations of drab and tan, tho newest having a pink tinge in them. Americans insist on both the welts and the pipings of the gloves being self colored, welts being the bindings at the wrist, tho piping surrounding the buttons and the but tonholes. But, as a rule, in these best makes of gloves for the English mar ket the welts arc self colored and the pipiDgs white. There is some little va riety this season in the servings of the backs of gloves, fancy stitchings being used and waved lines in preference to straight lines, though the imperial or pique cord Is seldom superseded for any length of time. Many women spoil the appearance of their hands by wearing gloves that are too small for them, which certainly much diminishes the length of time pair will last and causes the ut. most discomfort to the wearer, making the hand look larger. It is shape no, size, that is really the most important matter

HIndoo Grades.

The four grades of society among the Hindoos are the Brahmans, or sacerdotal class, who are said at the moment of creation to have issued from the mouth or military class, sprung from the arm of Brahma; the Vaisya. or Bais, or mercantile class, from the thigh of Brahma, and Sudras, or Sooders. or serv- ile class, from the foot of Brahma. The business of the Sudras is to serve the three superior classes, more espe- cially the Brahmans. Their condition is never to be improved; they are not to accumulate property and are unable by any means to approach the dignity of the higher classes. These divisions are hereditary, impossible and indefeasible. Brooklyn Eagle.

 LONDON. Aug. 27.-Hydc park was tho scene of a demonstration by the National League For the Abolition of the House of Lords ThoSc who took an actual part in the proceedings assembled on tho Thames embankmcnt and then marched in pro cession to the park. wherc II platforms had been erected. It is estimated that 70, GOO persons were in the park. but tho number was largely made up of curious onlookcrs wh" took no part whatever in the proceedings.
 A joint resolution was adopted at all tho platforms declaring that as tho gov ernmcnt was unable to give any definite pledge as to its action regarding the housu of lords 1t bo demanded that the useless hereditary chamber" be abolished.
 The resolutions also called upon the electors to only support candidates for par liament who would pledge themselves to vote for tho abolition of tho house of lords. Among tho speakers were Messrs- O'Bricn and Tanner, members of the house of commons.

TRIMMED DRESS SKIRTS.

ings or serpentine frillings. However, women, as a rule, do not seem anxious to adopt yoluminous skirts. They prefer . medium style, stimulating the double skirt by means of garniture. This com bination, as it happens, is suggestive of varied ways of renovating last seasons gowns. A favorite arrangement, for in- stance, is to cut the skirt about eight inches short, edge it with either tinsel braid, ribbon, gimp, or, newer still, with coarse ecru guipure, vandyked and pierced with large holes, as if ready to be threaded with some gay ribbon. This ornamental border rests on the hem band in an utterly different texture, color and design, such as satin, moire, checked or chine silk, sometimes left plain or spaced with fan shaped plait- ings, or again encircled with fancy ga- Ions or ribbons. What better plan could be devised to lengthen or revive Q dress no longer in its pristine freshness?
 The idea is somewhat exemplified by skirt of striped and fiecked barege sur rounded with bouillonnes ill gauge or silk, which simulate a double skirt. The space between each row might be filled in with a contrasting material or entirely hidden under lace. the width being altered to suit individual require ments. A similar idea could be carried out, too. with the scallops of plaited satin or moire on the skirt in canvas taf- feta or surah delaine. each point tipped with a jaunty rosette, while smaller ones dot the two ribbon circles or hoops. A third mode consists in yelling q bright colored silk gown, new or slight ly faded, with some diaphanous fabric, including silk gauge, grenadine ol moire crepon, bordered with a double | fiounce in delicate lisse, headed ana edged with rows or lines of ribbon anC tiny rosettes To widen a gored skirt after tho latest pattern allow n ladder ot
 bows to escape from the base of each sean
 and add at the top n vertical line of thre'
 or four miniature or steel buttons.

Frock Suits with cutaway front will be worn moro than usual, in fact bid fair to become more popu- lar than they have for some years, but be careful not to have them too long. the fine tailors are not cutting the skirts as long as some ready made manufacturers have While they are still cut long il is a neat medium length that is stylish when made to fit well The goods are neat effects il grey, blue, brown and black all very dark and becoming, il chcviots, vicunas and worsteds The fact is you can be bette, dressed for less money thar ever before. as to price

 TIE information from Corea is so con- tradictory and obscure that it is impossible to tell much about what is really going on there Reports by the way of China aver one thing always in China's favor, while those by the way of Japan are usually eI- actly opposite. Besides the Chinese state ments often have a most improbable sound, as in the case where it was claimed that junction was made between a Corean and Chinese army and together they at tackled and routed the Japanese. This, of course may be true. but if we know any thing about the situation, that is the least likely thing to occur in the world. because we l:elieve that the report is true that the king of Corea has openly renounced all ale glance to China, claimed the protection and assistance of Japan. and commanded his soldiers to assist the troops of the latter power in expelling the Chinese from his kingdom.

Paid For His Scare,

just before Napoleon set out for the court
of Belgium he sent to the cleverest artisan
of his class in Paris and demanded of him
whether he would engage to make coat of
mail, to be worn under the ordinary dress,
which should be absolutely bullet proof,
and that if so he might name his own price
for such work The man engaged to make
the desired object, if allowed proper time,
and he named $4,000 francs as the price of
it, The bargain was concluded and in due
time the work was produced and it's maker
honored with the second audience of the
emperor, '.Now," said the imperial maj
esty, put it on" The man did SO. ''As
am to stake my life on it's efficacy, you will,
suppose, have no objection to do the
same"
And he took brace of pistols and pre-
pared to discharge one of them at the breast
of the astonished artisan. There was no
retreating, however, and half dead with
fear he stood the fire, and to the infinite
credit Of his work with perfect impunity
But the emperor was not content with one
trial He fired the second pistol at the back
of the trembling artisan and afterward dis
charged fowling piece at another part of
him, with similar effect "Well," said the
emperor, ''you have produced capital
work undoubtedly. What is the price of
it?" Eighteen thousand francs was named
as the agreed sum. There is an order for
them" said the emperor, land here is an
other for an equal sum for the fright that
l have given you. "-Philadelphia Times.
