Coloring Leather.

In place of the ordinary method
which has been pursued in the color
ing of leather namely, first to tan the
skins and then to dye them, new
process has been brought forward by a
German inventor, by which, it is
claimed, both time and labor are
economical, that is, briefly, instead Of
first tanning the skins, as commonly
practiced, this new system consists in
placing them in the color bath, and,
after remaining there some twenty
four hours, they are treated in the
ordinary way with alum and salt. The
preference claimed for this plan over
that which is at present in vogue is
that it saves the washing, treating with
acid and the various methods resorted
to for restoring to the skin the supple
ness it loses by the washing.

At Wembley Park, fnely-wooded
district to the northwest of London,
within quarter of an hours railway
ride of the metropolis, there has been
laid out a new playground for London
ers, the chief feature of which will be
a graceful tower built of iron and
steel
The tower itself will be nearly 200
feet high-2oo feet higher than the
Eiffel tower, in Paris-and will be thus
the tallest structure of it's kind in the
world. Square in shape, and standing
on four huge legs, it will taper grad
ually to the top, where an electric
light will send its rays for miles on
every side.
There will be three stages in all. The
first will be at height of $50 feet
from the ground, and will contain \
concert hall of 10000 square feet in
area, and space for bazaar of zoo
shops; half way to the top the second
stage will be reached, while at the
very summit there will be an OBSERVE
tory where sun, moon and stars may
be studied
The tower will cost G200 600, and il
is believed IL will be ready for climb
ing tby means of elevators) in the
course of two years.

souls OF women fair to-day-the ghost
of clothes. The apparition is particu-
larly menacing and terrifying this
season for two reasons. One is that
the limited range of new modes makes
dress distinction entirely dependent
upon richness of material and decora-
ton, and the other that owing to the
general financial condition, it is quite
impossible for wives and daughters to
convince husbands and fathers of the
| necessity for more generous allowances.
Every thrifty man, even to the car of
all the Russias begins to economic by
cutting down his wife's allowance, of
course, and the dress ghost dances
pirouettes in every woman's dreams.
How to make one gown do the work
of two requires considerable more
| tinesse than to make one dollar do the
work of ten. We can't afford to make
any mistakes in selection, and the only
hope for the situation is to buy intelli-
gently and only after much consulting
of the latest advices concerning the
correct thing. The Paris budget con-
tains nothing especially startling.
Skirts are still of medium length, flow
ing out at the feet, in many cases visi-
bly, but gracefully stiffened and
| trimmed narrowly at the bottom. The
| newest thing is to make up the skirt
with the seams Tapped on the outside,
as coats are made. In cloth gowns
| this often constitutes the only trim
ming, and even richly trimmed satin
| gowns are put together with one
breadth put on in a fold over the other.
| Double skirts and overskirts continu-
and varied designs. According to the
| great high priest of dress, NJ.
| Worth, we are to wear panniers,
| but at present no one decided shape
| takes precedence over the other. Some
times a portion of the length of the
skirt seems to be pushed up around the
| hips, and sometimes the skirt would
| seem to be drawn up just in the center
of the back as well as little on each
hip. The general effect upon the
shoulder is fairness, the hump having
been banished to the elbow. Dame
| Fashion, be it remarked, always has to
have n hump somewhere. She either
bids us bear it on our shoulders or on
our backs, our hips or our elbows, and
really the modish hump to-day carries
with it less melancholy consequences
| than when located almost anywhere
else.
In colors, the new thing in Paris is
| fuchsia, the exact tone of the calyx of
| the flower. A red cherry is another
| favorite tone, and whole dresses are
seen of the brilliant tint with point
| lace or its limitations for garniture, re-
calling in design the Vandyke por-
traits of Spanish infantas long since
wearing the white robe of the here
after, which, let us humbly pray, will
not change its style every quarter.
Some OF the most striking gowns
seen for morning wear are the rough
surfaced tweeds in dark colors or
black, made tailor fashion and very
severe, and frightened with just dash
of red in the waistcoat and revers.
| The dress in the cut is of dark blue
heavy hopsacking with a waistcoat of
scarlet, buttoned with small gold but
tons, and scarlet revers showing be-
meath the smart white dicky and black
satin tie.
