THE MoDIsTE.

In Paris new pettieoats of silk or satin
are made with featherbone hoops which
reach quite to the knees
Sleeves are still made very wide, no longer
the least appraised, but dropping, the large
cape collars and sleeve caps still further de-
pressing their fullness.
A novel way of edging a dress skirt is to
put roll as thick as the little finger at the
extreme edge, covering it with velTet-a
monster piping, in fact.
Fine openwork cashmere stockings can
now be purchased. They look almost as
"dressyn as lace fronted silk and Isle hose,

new slipper for bedroom or boudoir Is Of
white kid edged with fur and lined with
pink kid.
Tiny aluminium wires are inserted in the

alarmists looks very much again like the
shadow Of coming event Of crinoline.

Meizan is the name of Japan's great

writer on the subject says Meizan is be-

No one can blend colors as harmonious

is such master of design as applied

HER LAST VISITOR.


Across her sky of summer dark and slow
1t stole. Kind heaven never let her know
When the cloud fell, but the last light she had
Left her that day, young, beautiful-and mad,
A stranded life alone on strange shore,
Till the great House of Pity shut her in,
And there, as if she was not nor had been,
Hope came no more.
Only love came. with tender voice and hand,
And smile and kiss she scarce could under
stand,
And once dear eyes, that now unanswered
beamed
When friends looked on her, and as if she
dreamed
Their faces shone and faded. Months and
years
They met their lost one in the sad retreat
And found her not, and passed with burdened
feet
And bitter tears.
She saw them but as phantoms which all hours
Thrust on her brain. and yet they brought her
flowers
And gentle words, and lavished-was it vain?
Their unthanked pity on her unfelt pain
Month after month, year after year-and then
Some fell away; the world had swept them by,
And sorrowing friendship with its lingering
sigh
Came not again.
Her mates found other favorites, some were
wives
And mothers; into her own sisters lives
Crept care; her brothers turned aside to wed
New loves grown dearer than the living dead;
And few and fewer of her kindred came
Till but two yearning mourners looked and
smiled
Upon the imprisoned shadow of their child,
And breathed her name.
Long time the suffering father kept his tryst,
But failed at length and staid away. unmissed
By her he missed so sorely. Oh, the balm
OF crazed souls forgetfulness, the calm
That feels not when forgotten of its ownl
The mother bore his load; and, with no mate
To share her journeys to tn asylum gate,
She went alone.
She went alone, week in, week out, alone
Summer and winter, till her blighted one
Became her babe again, and she grew gray
In motherly pilgrimages, nor delay
Nor doubt nor danger where her errand led
Staid her loves visit, longing to bring home
Her child. At last one day she did not come,
But she was dead.

scanned, forming an oblong, into which
may be slipped a needlebook cut of card
board to fit. Cut two pieces, and when
they are covered on both sides with the
silk fasten them together on one end
with chamois or flannel leaves between
and ribbon loop or two on the other
end to pull the needlebook out with.
That part of the silk left on a@her side
of this space will form the bags, one on
each side. Face the tops of each with
contrasting silk, making places for draw
strings to match. The two bags are for
spools and buttons, and a place for scis-
sors, consisting of strap and pointed
fold of ribbon in which they may be put,
is fastened on the under side of the part
where the needlebook is placed. Either
plain or fowered silk may be used.

The pegging or marking of drinking
cups was introduced by st. Dunstan to
check the Incorporate habits of the
times by preventing one man from TAX
ing larger draft than his companions.
But the device proved the means of in
creasing the evil it was intended to
remedy, for, refining upon st. Dunstan's
plan, the most abstemious were required
to drink precisely to peg or pin,
whether they could soberly take such a
quantity of liquor or not. To the use
Of such cups may be traced the origin
Of many of our popular phrases. When
a person is much elated, we will say,
He is in merry pin" and He is a
peg too low, . when he is not in good
spirits. On the same principle we talk
of taking man down peg" when
we would check forwardness. .-Sala's

The PHILOSOPHER

No man can have a good time while doing
his duty.
The man who knows the least shows IL
the most.
The bigger mans head gets the less
there is in it,
After man has serious sick spell his
ideal woman is older
The best wisdom is the kind you are com.
PEELED to buy at a high price
A man can easiest be deceived about the
person be knows best-himself
The men who are bound for the front dc
not wait until New Year to make start
No man was ever benefited by putting
blame on others that he should have shouI
dered himself
The people are always right If given
time. But occasionally they require an
enormous amount of time to come to just
conclusion.-Atchison Globe.

Professor Thomson was snubbed.

AS near to recreation as anything of
the kind ever engages the always earnest
attention Of Professor Elihu Thomson
is the interest which he shows in the
alleged applications Of electricity, par
ticularly in regard to the devices by
which the unscrupulous play upon the
credulous and the suffering. While at
the Chicago fair he examined at SELL
ing stand SO called electrical appli-
ance to be worn in the shoes for the
cure Of various ailments from cold feet
upward. The young woman volubly
described the apparatus in political
phrase, claiming everything" and
then proceeded to explain the "scien-
tific principles" by which the electric
current would pass up one limb to the
heart and then down by the other one,
and much more Of the like ilk. The
professor mildly stated that electricity
did not operate in the manner stated,
when the young woman Indignantly
swept the goods back into the showcase,
exclaiming, Well, what do you know
about electricity anvwav?" - Boston

Among them was a handsome black
cloth suit for young lady. The whole
of the dress was black, but the vest front
and cuffs were of white satin nearly hid

Several variations were made on gown
Of black india silk, with the whole Of the
skirt accordion plated. The waist had
a corselet made of the same plating,
and the upper portion was Of maize vel

horentine.
There is an infinite variety in tea and
house gowns, each surprising the last.
The moire in rich colors, with slight but
graceful floral patterns thrown over the
surface, is much liked for this kind of
gowns, and when made with plenty of
lace there could be nothing handsomer.
There are several new patterns in laces,
which virtually make new laces of them.
For instance, the bourbon lace has a
very delicate and careful imitation of
real point at the edge. Bourbon vene-
tan, real duchess and point de gene are
now made in patterns, carrying out the
designs Of the edging lace. The inser-
tions are laid fiat on the tea gowns as
headings to the frills of edging.

Leave your potatoes in cold water an
hour before cooking, and they will be mealy

Sprigs of fresh parsley are served with
boiled onions not entirely as garnish, but
to be eaten as a deodorizer.
A beefsteak cut an inch thick will be
cooked rare in 10 minutes. "A mutton chop
cut three-f -fourths Of an inch thick will cook
in eight minutes.
Veal and pork must be broiled slowly
and for long time. There should not be
a trace of pink in the fibers when the meat
is done. The chops should not be cut more
than half an inch thick They will be well
done with l2 minutes cooking
