Whom the New Year Begins.

Among the Latin Christian countries
there were seven different dates for begin
ming the new year. March l, Jan. !, Dec.
%, March -, used in two ways-frst. by
beginning the year nine months sooner than
at present; second, by beginning it three
months later-at Easter and on the feast of
the Ascension. The usage of the same coun-
try has varied at different times. In France
under the Merovingians the year began on
March !. The Cerlovingians began their
year on Dec. %, and the Capetiasat Easter.
The Romans. till Casar's time, began the
year on March !, and an illustration of the
reluctance 20 change names is seen in the
fact that, although the names September,
October. November and December original
ly denoted the number of the months, they
are now grossly inapplicable The Egyp-
tians. Chaldeans, Persians, Syrians, Ph9ni-
clans and Carthaginians began their year
in the autumn, as did the Jews their civil
year.-Montreal star.

and then lot ont tho gas 70 that thoy
fan IN heavy, loose wrinkles. They
have shortened the tails Of the coat, but
have widmed them 10 that they roach
clear around. They have adopted tho
hat, and that they adorn vicariously
with any and everything, but il IS tho
incroyable always, and pretty, pert
and becoming 10 is too. Tho magpio
stripes In paudusoy are things Of tho
present, and in fact there are a dozen
moro points Of resemblance.
In some Of the gTandest places where
the society IL composed of mono but
those who hoard bluo blood, there has
been decided movement toward tho
Mervcilleuso cOatuming. This is just a
triflo moro scanty and diaphanous than
the first empire, but fear that 10 will
be "A success. Scmio'assical gowns arc
also seen at receptions, and ia fact ono
grand modiste told mo that sho had
never known opinions 10 differ 10 do
cidedly, and That nearly every ono Of
the best modistcs had adopted and
evolved n separate style from some his
torical period or other. This accounts
for tho wide divergence, and in tho
meantime ladies can study up old cos
tunes and give their costumers hints
which will scarcely be- wrong in this
transition stage.
TUNES Of various shapes are seen on
many skirts, sometimes draped, but Of
ten slashed, or simply lifted very slight
ly on the sides, or on one side, 20 show
a different underskirt. Some, and in
deed quite "A number, have a sort Of pep
lum tunic. OF overskirt Of contrasting
color or material, and this has quite a
classic appearance.
The empire modes are, think, like
ly TO gain tho popular favor, though
modern requirements make some
changes necessary, particularly in the
cut Of the corsage. Still, there is no
saying more than that there are at least
seven distinct epochs in history repre-
scented in the fashions Of the day.
must not close without saying that
the all black costume has now become the
best style, and some of the most elegant
toilets have not one shred Of color
upon them. Silks, velvets, satin, moire
and woolens are employed singly or all
in one, and ornamented with jet or 81 TX
braid. Damask in pure ivory white is
used for ceremOnious dress or for
brides. When brides wear it, il is trim
med with festoonod hounces or pufiings
of tulle, held with orange blossoms
or in some cases with white orchids.
For cereinonious dress there is a de-
cided tendency toward the Louis XIV
shape and general style. Ono superb
bridesmaids dress was Of pearl white
brocade with festoons Of Loie Fuller
gauze around the bottom. There were
a white satin coat and vest worked with
silver lace, and white velvet tricorne
hat with Grape rosettes. The effect was
wonderfully pretty and chic. There
will be more of those later.

the incroyable, the first empire, the
Vatican and even the Medicis. Every
one has some delicate touch, a sort Of
lingering perfume of the old mingling
with the new and making up something
as elusive as dainty. 1t takes French
women 20 give these quaint old styles
a grace and piquancy that blinds the
eye 10 any liberties taken with histor-
ical styles.
/ hardly know how to show TO show
my dear home readers what these very
newest of the new things look, since the
French like 70 take the cream off a
fashion before they will let foreigners
have it, except by a few of the old
styles they are trying with such sue
cess TO copy or adapt. There is the
famous Vatican costume. You will
find numbers of its almost exact copies
this season, and how dainty and pretty!
The new Vatican has gigot sleeves
and ripple collars, but the pannier is
there and the plat, and the petticoat
is Just as much ruflled and bowed as it
used TO be. Those that are made for
evening or receptions are cut ont in
the neck, but sometimes this is only
simulated by piece of flesh colored
silk. The hat does not change, nor tho
fan, and the patch is set where it will
enhance the woarer's beauty to the
greatest degree. The back portion Of
the dress is of rich brocade, and the col
ors and patterns of those days have been
exactly initiated.
But Vatican does not suit all and
there are some who want the panniers
without the plait and they want in
stead of the round little waist Of the
dainty Vatican, a stiff long corsage
that seems more royal and qucenly.
Such have the Marie Antoinette fash
ions brought down to date. They may
change the shape of the sleeve and have
the rufiles and puffs on top, and they
may reduce the pannier TO more reason
able dimensions.
Some ladies have appeared in powder
ed hair at the opera and at various even
ing gatherings. This is an extremely
becoming fashion for all women. Tall
ones look stately and small ones like
exquisite little Dresden figures. But
the stiff waist gives an awkward look
to the gown.
On the streets we see costumes which
bear so great a family resemblance to
the old STYLES that we smile in a dreamy

ment and a game Of deep interest. in
which they have chance 10 display
their higher mental powers, and to
force tho lords of creation 10 acknowl-
edge their mental equality at least;
hence they are taking lively interest
in it.
The organization of the Whist league
and the interest taken in it by the gen.
tier sex have been followed by the birth
of a new profession, that of whist
teaching, as the fact is recognized that
there are few tortures as unbearable
as those inflicted upon a good player
who is compelled TO devote his entire
evening to a game with a poor oppo-
nent or poor partner. The employment
of competent teachers is the chief pre-
vention of this cruelty, and we are
pleased to see that il works like a
charm. Professional whist teachers
may now be found in all our principle
cities, whose classes are large and con-
tinually growing. Society people are
beginning TO understand tho torture Of
playing whist without knowing how.
1t Is pleasing 10 note that nearly all
of the professional whist teachers are
women, one Of tho most noted being
Mrs. NJ. S. jerks of Chicago. She is
not only teacher of the game. but also
the NJ. $. J. who so ably conducted a
whist column in the Chicago Inter
Ocean. succeeding 90 the whist editor
ship on the death Of Mr.. G.. w. Pettes of
Boston. Her good natured tits with j.
7. Mitchell and several authorities on
whist reused much curiosity as to her
identity, none for a moment supposing
that it was any other than one of tho
Eterner sex.
In her early womanhood she removed
20 Philadelphia and soon after mar
ried. She became well known in the
best social and higher whist circles in
the Quaker City. She removed TO Chi
cago, where sine founded a whist school.
Hero she is visited by whist students
from far and near. and many Of the

There are many other Chicago society
ladies who are daintily climbing tho
rugged road 30 fame In the interpreta-
ton of the fascinating game. Mrs. Clin-
ton Locke, whose wonderouHly wise
methods for bringing good cheer TO the
firesido Of the poor and comfort 10 tho
weary hearted are we'll known, has be-
come interested IN tho study of the
game, as a discipline and balance 90 her
Overworked brain, in organizing and
directing tho many charitable societies
connected with the Grace Episcopal
church, Of which her husband has 80
many years been the beloved pastor.
She has been heard 10 say that people
are uninteresting to her unless there is
demonstration of some achievement in
their life. Her life is a practical illus
tration that great things are possible
against bitter odds-her achievements
are many.
Miss Florence Pullman is another
student, and one that bids fair TO stake
honorable claims within tho ranks Of
brilliant whist players. Beneath her
placid, velvety countenance there turks
depth of understanding and quick
perception suited 10 a whist mind. Her
ready capability is manifest in the ever
shifting lights Of her dreamy dark eyes.
Another worshiper at the shrine Of
tho much appreciated game is Mrs. Gill
man Smith, one of Chicago's most
charming society leaders. Her overflow
of characteristic wit and fun Is not
daunted by the seriousness of even sci
entifc whist. but nevertheless she is
enchanted with its study and has the
highest appreciation of its worth.
Some OF the finest whist players Of
the country now feel that they must
look to their laurels, as the ladies are
fast becoming formidable competitors
in the game and bid fair TO dlvesting
the gentlemen of their victories, or, at
least, compelling them to share their
honors. Though il is evident that there
are more malo than female whist clubs
in the country, some of the latter are
very unique in their way. One which
takes the lead in this respect, though not
very old is known as the "Sarah Battle
Whist club" of New Albany, Ind, and
if the whist capacity Of the ladies is
equal TO their wits they must be de-
lightful partners as well as dangerous
opponents. The above mentioned club
has adopted the following code, which
is a very suggestive one. and is warn
ing TO the sterner sex in the same field

Periments on Cadavers.

WASHINGTON Oct. lT.-Lieut. Lincoln Kar-

can authority on the subject OF arms. in his
port to the Naval Intelligence once shows the
destructi veness of the new small-calibrc rifle of

diameter, driven by smokeless powder. In re-

effects on bones and tissues of the human body.
and that OF horses, the results were resolved into
two groups, viz: Those from 80 to 800 yards
and those from 300 TO 1000 yards. The first
group comprises those injuries which, when IA
bone is struck, resemble in appearance those OF
an explosive character; the part is always
pounded, fragments are frequently carried out
through the wound Of exit which is commonly
converted into a gaping Orifce; the muscles are
pulped, and, in fact, the limb mangled and
damaged beyond repair.
II the bullet simply passes through muscle
II practically creates no damage OF any i'm
pOrtance unless it strikes an artery, which large
or small, l.. cut as with a knife, causing hem-
Orrhage but because of the small size of the
bullet the blood vessels and nerves stand bet
ter chance Of escape than they did with the
larger bullet. II savage were hit in the teshy
part of the thigh with the small calibre bullet
II could not he expected tn have any stopping
effect on him unless the main artery of the limb
he could travel some little distance be-
fore falling. Hut let that man be hit on any OF
the long bones OF the leg aud his progress is at
an end. On the other hand. IL he were hit in the
upper extremity speaking Of a savage, there
would probably be nothing TO stop him in
smashed shoulder or "A pulped elbow, because,
like the horse, he apparently does not suffer
from shock, and lac stin has the use of pair of

through the chest b. a bullet no larger than a
PENCIL il goes clean through him, touches we
will say, nothing OF vital importance. and he
remains a dangerous man for some time 10
come.
In savage pushes the lower extTemiIiss should
be the chief target aimed at. No man can travel
with one OF the bones Of his legs in fragments.
In dealing with a civilized foe the shock OF a
simple flesh wound would probably be enough
for most men. and afford them good excuse for
leaving the fighting line, and certainly non-fatAl
wounds in the chest would cause u gap Ia the
ranks. The question OF shock Is there Infinitely
more urgent than the wound
In considering the nature OF the injuries in
ncted on bones at distances between 500 and
1000 yards. IL l. clear that they have tendency
TO resolve themselves into IN cOmminuted frac-
lures and pulveriZing OF the resisting parts OF
bones, and t2i comparatively clean holes la the
non-resistlng regions, such as the extrenlities Of

joint may be much less dangerous than
some distance from IL, which is In reality a sur
gical paradox.

ANN ARBoR, Mich. Oct. 1.-The Hon.
Thomas b. Reed of Maine opened the course in
the Students Lecture Association before an
audience that filled the large auditorium of
Michigan University tonight.
His address was upon THE Relation OF Lead
ers OF Progress" and was characteristic dis

without any references TO politics. To-day, while
here. he was interview ed, asi his statements
caused much comment tonight. Among other
thitgs he said:
IF the Republicans should be successful this
fall nothing further would be- done with the
tariff until after 1895. and business would have
a chance to revive. On this issue there could be
no doubt IA to the result"
Mr.. Reed said that in his opinion II would not
necessarily follow that the return Of the Rcpub-
lican marty 10 power in 1895 meant the re-cnact-
ment OF the Mckinley law. Mr. Reed did not
think that the party wou make that an issue.
Conditions had changed materially in the last
six or eight years and there was room for many
notifications in the Mckinley bill. He intimat-
ton OF the Republicans. lie said that when
he appointed the committee he divided i up be,
tween the radical protectionists of the East and
the more moderate prOtecttOnists of the West.
He appointed a man from Minnesota, a man
from Iowa. and man from California. suppos-
ing that these men, coming from those sections,
would have much To do in the making Of the
bill.
But the man who upset all the calcula-
tions was Mr.: Gear of Iowa: now Sen;
