4 GOOD EXAMPLE.

Many of the most interesting and most important movements of the pres- ent day are originated and engineered by Woman, and in originating and en- gineering them she is giving evidence of inventive and executive ability with which she has not hitherto been cred ited. Her latest great outbreak is in a small New York town, but the stir she has made there may be expected to spread until it includes all that is worth including. The times have been hard in that town, as they have been all over the world, and the women of that town have felt the pressure of them. They have also sympathized deeply with the male inhabitants of the town who have been doing their best to take care of their families. Having realized that there is a financial problem 1t did not take long for these good women to solve it. They met the, other day and resolved in the most formal fashion not to pur- chase for a whole year any wearing apparel, costing more than twenty-five cents yard. They not only resolved" !" but fearing future temptation, pledged their word ot honor" Norswas this all. They put themselves on record also as

and would be pretty worn by itself. The overdress is seldom of the same material used for the underskirt; for choice the underskirt is plain or solid color, and the overdress-well, about anything the wearer dares. Plaid is correct. The wool, or heavy stuff goes into the overdress, and the silk or lighter stuff into the underskirt. Alto gether the overdress is a forward, overbearing, ill-mannered garment that should be suppressed if possible.
 An overskirt which is cut, In points and accordeon pleated is shown in this pattern. Its material is mousseline chiffon and the underskirt is silver gray taffeta. The gored skirt has a thirty inch band of stiffening and is lined with white silk. The bodice has fitted lining and a deep guimpe of pleated chiffon. It hooks in the center and the taffeta fronts cross over. The latter are garnished with wide lace revers and are held in place by gray velvet shoulder straps which are or namented with velvet rosettes in the back and front. The sleeves have fit- ted lining and are also accordeon pleated. The belt may be white leath- CT with silver buckles, or pla1n white silk ribbon. FLORETTE.

The popular "Daghela avanti un pas so' is striking illustration of the for tuitous manner in which some airs. &C., quire national renown. In 1858 Milan was a hot-bed of Italian conspiracy, and intrigue against the Austrian rule in Lombardy. At the Teatro della Can nobiana ballet dancer was received by the spectators with mingled applause and misses. This gave rise to disorder, the police interfered and took the part of the majority, who were averse to the danseuse.

Hide-and. seek With Burglars.

The city is not usually amusing on Sunday. But last Sunday there was not a dull moment in Cheapside. All day long hundreds of people stood watching twenty constables playing hide-and-seek with a couple of bur glars. Three burglars were discovered at about in the morning trying to break into a jewellers shop, one fell through a glass roof into A. Lock- hart's cocoa-room soon after the chase began and was ruled out. The re- maining two kept the constables busy and the spectators amused for about ten hours, running along walls, climb ing roofs and diving through practica- ble warehouse windows in a style more familiar at Drury Lane at Christmas than in Cheapside in summer. In the end. however, the policemen won, as he does not invariably win at Drury Lane, and the burglars were run to earth in a bale of dry goods.-PaH Mall Budget. ...

WHEAT.

The American farmer has seen the price of his wheat fall to a point which leaves him little profit even if it doesn't leave him loss, and the prospect for an improvement in the sit- uation is by no means good. The worlds crop Is bigger than the crop of last year. and the most formidable competitor of the United States in the wheat business, the Argentine Repub- lie, is looming up more conspicuously than ever. The price of wheat is very low in the Argentine Republic, but in spite of that a large increased area of land is being broken up along the railroads in the provinces of Buenos Ayres, Santa Fe, and Entre Rios. Should the next harvest be favorable one, it Is estimated that the amount available for export will not fall far short of 2.50O.0OO tons. A correspondent of the London Times has something to say which will not add to the peace of mind of the American wheat-grower. It is: This increase in the wheat growing area of the Argentine is some what curious when the starvation prices of to-day are considered. But the production is chiefly the work of Italians who have emigrated with their families of late years from Italy. These people take up piece of land and do all the manual labor themselves; they grow what food they need, and gre content with very little; they spend nothing beyond what is absolutely necessary in the matter of clothes, and nothing in luxuries. Hence, whatever return they get from their crops is a pure gain for them, and is available to pay the installments due on the land they have selected. In many cases the land owner gives the land and receives 12 per cent. of the gross product of the crops as his rent. Under these circum- stances the cost of the production of wheat is extremely small and compares favorably with the cost of cultivation in other countries.
 It never rains but 1t pours, but it is difficult to see how the wheat situa- tion can be much worse

A Prophecy as to Oyerskirt,


 It begins to look as if few overskirts will be worn. the ones that are seen be- ing exaggerated. That Is well, for they can't be popular, and women in general don't want to be obliged to wear overskirts. One model falls In four points; one at each side and one back and front. Between the points the material is looped high and made to stand out in box-pleat fashion, The points just fall short of the edge of the skirt and swing wide. The skirt worn beneath is made rather plain and sets out at the back only moderately. In- deed 1t is a modest and well behaved garment compared to the overdress

The Hungarians are indignant with Count Nicholas EsterhaZy. That mo- bleman gave fine horse of his stud the name of Kossuth and has announce ed that his horse is to run in the Buda- pest summer races. A Budapest news paper says: we will take an oath that this horse will not race in Buda- pest. It is true, a certain kind of roast beef has been named after the Ester hazys, and an epoch has been named after Kossuth, but race-horse shall not be called by that name."

One of the curiosities of railroad building is the construction of road running from Ismid, a harbor about sixty miles from Constantinople, to An gora, about 300 miles. The bridges, sleepers, stringpieces and telegraph poles, as well as the rails, are of iron, nine-tenths of which is of German manufacture. The bridges average about four to the mile, there being 1900 of them, the longest having a stretch of 59O feet. Ill addition to these there are sixteen tunnels, the longest measuring 1,43O feet. This is the only railroad which penetrates the interior of Asiatic Turkey, the Smyrna lines being near the coast.

It is now said by a Democratic sen- ator of prominence whose name is with held, that the Senate sugar bargain was made in pursuance of promises given the trust by the managers of the Dem ocratic campaign in 1892. This senator says he voted for the sugar schedule with that understanding. He further states that the fire on the Senate be- came so hot in the closing days of the session that Brice, German and others of the Democratic steering committee held conference, and Brice, German and Vest declared that they had stood by the bargain as long as they could, and would now vote for the free sugar bill sent over from the house. But Carlisle's letter in regard to revenue broke up this determination.

It is said that the smallest piece of painting in the world has recently been executed by Flemish artist It h painted on the smooth side of grain of common white corn and pictures a mill and a miller mounting a stairs with sack of grain on his back. The mill is represented as standing on a ter race, and near it is horse and cart, while a group of several peasants are shown in the road near by. The picture Is beautifully distinct, every object be- ing finished with microscopic fidelity, yet by careful measurement it is shown that the whole painting does not cover . surface of half an inch square.
