MODIFIED 1880 FASHIONS FOR TODAY.

MODIFIED 1880 FASHIONS FOR TODAY.
cipal part of this style is the waist, it.
snowy null tucker and its lifted overdress.
The underskirt or petticoat is not quilted,
but Is of silk of darker color and heavier
texture than that in the overdress. The
sleeves to this sort of overdress should be
close on the upper part and flowing at the
bottom, but the modern modiste thinks
she can improve upon that by making
great gigot sleeves n perhaps a bertha
which shows under the dainty muslin
tucker.
Then poor Marie Antoinette has her
memory revived by several little touches,
but none of the fancies for fall show such
bold strokes as the 1880 modes. These are
not portrayed by any wavering, uncertain
lines. They are what they call themselves,
pure and simple, and I think they will
have a strong support. We cannot COM
plain, for it is many a long year since we
had a mode SO universally becoming, and,
above all, so adaptable to all requirements.
1t is only when we see a genuine 1880
gown disfigured by the owner wearing a
square box coat above it or overlooking it
with cheap tawdry trimming that we fall
to abusing it. These dresses are pretty.
the cloaks belonging to them are stately,
and the small capes and other addenda in
keeping, and therefore making q refined
costume. But we could dispense with the
close bonnet without tears.
l fear we shall have to endure cottage
bonnets the coming season. Those shown
us now are but the entering wedge. Our
grandmothers wore them, and they all
looked pretty in them, so I suppose we
will become reconciled. 1t is the face I'M

the face that is beautiful.
1t was thought by many that draped
overskirts and p%olonaises were to become
universal, but while one or the other is
seen occasionally the skirts are either
quite plain or trimmed in decidedly ancient
style with narrow garniture, mostly de-
pending upon the fneness Of the needle
work for its success.
who like to have something following but
not leading the fashion are shown. One
OF this style of dresses was made of drab
and brown notified silk barege, the waist
plain spencer, slightly draped across the
bust from h shoulder to the throat.
There was a broad girdle of chestnut
brown pongee, with q gilt buckle. The
sleeves were double pulled. The skirt was
lifted to the figure around the hips and
down to the knees, where it was held up
IN three or four gathers under brown
pongee ~rosettes. At intervals all around
the skirt fan plaits of pongee were let in.
Another pretty dress for a young lady
was made quite a novelty by the ingenious
use OF material. The dress itself had pale
blue mousseline delaine as foundation,
and the plated portion of the skirt was
made of that and the lower part of the
waist. The upper part of the skirt, the
square bertha and elbow sleeves were of
silver gray tafeta. There was a row of
valenciennes 6 inches wide where the
upper and lower portion of the skirt

Information For Dog Days.

"The bite Of a dog is only dangerous
when the dog has got rabies y writes M.
Pasteur to a lady in Glasgow. eff there
is any doubt in regard to this, the manner
in which it may be found out is the fol-
lowing: Put the dog that has bitten where
it can do no further harm. Have it ex-
amined by a vet, and if it has the rabies
it's characteristic symptoms will not be
long of being observed, and the animal
will certainly die in eight days. If at the
end Of that time no symptom of rabies has
been observed, the bite cannot cause ny
drophobia, and there is no reason that the
animal should be DESTROYED

to assist Labor Commissioners Carroll D.
Wright in investigating the causes of the.

high local regulations, but comparative
strangers to the public at large. John d.
Herman is the eldest son of ex-United

Y, so years ago and was educated at
Foley academy and Seton Hall college. He

ing in 1868, studied law with his father
and was admitted to the bar il 1868.
His law practice as a member Of the

Bros. & Quin has been large and lucra-
tive. He was railroad commissioner Of

CoLoRING

An inquirer who has been in the
practice of simply whitewashing his
fences and outbuildings, wishes infor-
nation for giving the work q light
brown or drab, more nearly white
than many which he sees, which are
SO dark as to be positively gloomy,
and he inquiries for the best way of
making the lime into the wash. Pro-
cure fresh OF caustic lime, put a peck
or more into q tub or barrel, and cover
it six inches above with hot water /;
cover it to keep in the steam. When
cold, add enough water to reduce to a
wash which may be easily applied with
a brush. Two pounds of rice flour
will make it spread more easily. mix
ing it with cold water before it is put
in; stir thoroughly. Or, instead Of
the rice water, add two pounds Of sui
phate of zinc and a pound of salt ;
this will harden it better On exposed
woodwork. To give it the right color,
add q pound or two of yellow ochre
for cream color, or two pounds of
lumber, or less if lighter is desired, or
for q light slate color or gray, add half
a pound Of lampblack, or q less guam
tity. We have found a durable wash
for outdoor work of a peck of water
lime, half q peck of fine clear sand, or
as much as the water will hold in sus-
pension, with enough water to apply
it.-Country Gentleman.

A Unique Counterfeit.

Thomas T. Callahan, of the Gov
eminent Secret Service Department,
was in Brooklyn yesterday looking for
an exceedingly clever counterfelter.
who recently cornterfeited a $50 bill,
using only pen and ink. The paper
was the regular silk fibre paper, made
only by the Government. Tie
counterfeit bill was passed on a New
York bank and was only detected when
it reached the Sub-Treasury and it wax
found that the word "Series" had been
omitted. There is no clue to the ar
fist.
This unique counterfelter is sup
posed to be q man who has for years
deied tho efforts of the United States
Secret Sersice officers to detect him,
There arc specimens of his work ON
exhibition at Washington. His work
has always been So perfect that it was
almost iml ossible to detect a bill b:
made from the genuine article. 1t is
all done with /. pen and ink and on the
same quality paper that is used in the
genuine bills. The great difficulty In
the way of his captere is that he has
no tools. He is an artist. He sits
down and draws a bill as an artist
draws a picture. Even if he was cap
tured in his room with a bill / n his
possession, there might be no evidence
to convict him, us he could say he had
received it from somebody else. 1t
must require a long time for him to
complete g. single bill, and the skill he
displays at his work is ar indication
that if he devoted his talents to honest
employment he would make more
noney.-New York Sun.

Skating without Ice.

Some California genius has invented
q composition which may be spread
over the floor of a skating rink and
viii give q surface on which ordinary
runner skates, such as are worn on ice,
may be used. Sulphur is one of the
principal ingredients, but there are
four others, which the inventor keeps
secret. The materials is hard and elastic,
and gives q surface as slippery as ice,
and perfectly smooth. Ernest West.
ieius, who has won q medal as the
champion skater of Scandinavia, and
who, with his pirouettes and his in
trieate doublings and curves on the
ice, has skated his way into more or
less fame in many countries, has tested
the substance and declares that, as 9
whole, he prefers it to ice, although
in the smoothness Of the surface there
is little difference between the two

no KEEP GATES LEVEL.

A gate that says is an eyesore on q
farm, and makes the place look as if
there was no one to take care of it.
Besides this, it is a source of inconve-
nience to those who must use it and is
always likely to be left unfastened.
The following idea, communicated by
some practical and ingenious CORE
spondent Of the farmers Voice, is
worthy the attention of those who
would like to cure the evil at q moder-
ate cost:
Take two pieces of three by four
scantling, one piece four or five feet
long, according to the height of the
fence, and the other twice the length
of the first then let the boards into
the uprights their thickness, and be-
fore mailing them dovetail q brace in
to the notehes already cut, running
from the top of the latch end to the
bottom of the hinge end. This brace
can be made of a three-fourths strip of
board, andshould be about four inches
wide. After putting the gate together
put on battens and nail them firmly to
the scantling also nail battens in the
centre, and for these wrought nails
should be used. To give a support, a
three-eighth rod of iron should be
fastened at the top of the hinge scant-
ling and extend down to and pass
through the top of the latch end, with
. nut upon the end, 80 that the rod
may be drawn tight. After tightening,
cut the end of the rod off even with
the nut. The rod support may be
used upon q picket gate, as well as up-
on one of boards.
