How to Make One That is Pretty, Be-
coming and Cheap.
There is hardly a girl who does not just
at this season of the year require at least
one evening dress, and II is also not an
unusual thing for the young lady's mother
to be literally at her wits end to devise
some festive robe which is at once easily
made, inexpensive, becoming and calculated
to efrectually conceal the sharp corners
and acute angles which fall to the lot of
most school girls. The dainty dress shown
here fills each of these requirements and
the small woman herself can hardly help
being satisfied with it, which counts for
good deal
Such lovely cashmeres, crepes and
crepons come at such very low prices that
there should be no difficulty in procuring
suitable material, but great care should be
taken in the selection of n becoming color

An InleIiDle Mark.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Aluminium has the property, when used
as pencil, of leaving an indelible mark en-
glass or any other substance having a
siliceous base. A deposition of the metal
takes place, and while this may be removed
by suitable acid wash, the mark itself
cannot be removed by rubbing or washing
Magnesium. sine and cadmium have a sim
liar property, but the mark of magnesium
Is easily removed; the application of zinc
requires a wheel and zinc and cadmium
tarnish, while aluminium is permanent and
remains bright. This property is suscepti-
BILE of variety of practical applications in
decorating glass.

Less Elaborate.

Should something less elaborate be de-
sired the skirt might be of black satin and
velvet, in which case the bodice could be of
bengaline, satin, fancy or plain silk in any
becoming color, and instead of the square
yoke the fullness might extend to the neck
and have one of the pretty lace Vandyke
collars tackled over it, to simulate yoke.
Last winter evening bodices were left
open about the throat, this season stock
collars reach almost to the ears, and the
''cZarina buckles stylishly used for their
decoration, with excellent effect, particu-
larly when they are of cut silver or bril-
liantS.
Plain skirts are decidedly the most IA
vored, but Notwithstanding their apparent
simplicity they are cut in great variety
of shapes; around the bottom they vary in
width from four to eight yards. but are
always very close and tight fitting around
the top. They must be made to just es-
cape the ground. or else the round appear
ance-which is the effect desired-cannot be
obtained
For street wear little or no trimming is
used on the lower part, but hardly one is
seen without a trimming of some kind or a
ribbon sash at the back.

erately deep rounded point in front and a
short rippled skirt at the back. 1t is closed
invisibIy on the left side, but four big jet
buttons give a pretty double-breasted ef-

The bodice is merely a blouse of rich
white satin, the square yoke being over
laid with heavy black lace, the same
trimming being again used for sleeve frills
or epaulettes The sleeves have as much
material as can be put into them without
making them double, ard barely reach to

HIS JUST DESERTS.

1.-The purpose of Furnishing crime, :"
terday, speaking in the Hull case, sis
not for revenge, nor can it do the dead
victim any good. Its only purpose is to
deter others from committing a similar
crime by the fear of punishment" The
verdict in the Hull case is satisfactory to
that part of the community who were
conversant with the evidence. With no
living witnesses to the murder but Hull,
the murderer, the state secured a verdict
in a remarkably short time for convic-
tion. The reason for it was that Hull
did not tell the truth. His story was
shown up in all its frailty under the
brilliant search light of reason. AS the
attorney said, if he had been telling the
truth, it would have welled up spontan-
eously. It would have come as resist
less flood which he could not keep back.
Hull would have said: 'Why, he was
after me with knife. He was terribly
excited" etc. That knife would have
shown up somewhere. Instead he said ::
+'He was bigger man than was, and
had to do it, and knife never was men
toned until he had formulated the story
for defense. Hull's mind works slowly
by reason of his own excesses, and his
conclusions even then are not reliable.
The weakness of his story is the natural
product of weak mind, unfortunately
for himself and his victim, directed in
the channels of guns and shooting. The
verdict is just, and would not be changed
by a new trial.

may have been adopted by an occasional
individual he was haffied by others
working at cross purposes. A conven-
tion of all of them may formulate plan
of procedure which will be most advan-
tageous if it is known that it will be
generally followed, and the mistakes OF

ed by recital of the experience in open
meeting. The concessions already gained
in freight rates. which will pay for the

nothing for the anti-cuckoo wing of the
party in the long list of appointments
made. It is not enough for an office
seeker to be democrat; he must be
vouched for by those who have endorsed
every act of Mr.. Cleveland. whether
right or wrong, and who have promised
to endorse all his future acts. The the
ory of one man power in the distribu-
ton of official favors is not more strictly
carried out by the czar of Russia or the
sultan of Turkey than it is by Grover
Cleveland under this republican form
of government. He demands that every
man who holds presidential commits
sion shall wear Cleveland collar.

OPPOSED TO ALL PROGRESS.
Chinese Aversion to Railroads Manifested
In Curious Ways.
Cas-.


Engineering enterprise in China,
particularly in so far as regards rail-
road building, has had, and is still
having, good deal to contend with in
the. way of native prejudice, cupidity
and superstition, says Cassell's Maga-
zine. and the tales are many that have
been told of the peculiar difficulties
encountered in that country by
European engineers and engineering
syndicates in the course of their opera
tions. When, for example, the first
railroad was built, number of years
ago, the necessary land, it was stated,
was bought from several hundred
different proprietors, all of whom
wanted additional bounties for the
disturbances of ancestral graves,
which, as may be known, abound in
what the foreign devil would be apt
to consider rather unusual localities.
Onesproprietor claimed to have buried
on his strip of land no less than five
mothers-in-law, for whom he had to
be~paid- Satisfying him naturally re-
suited in a marvellous multiplication
of dead mothers-in-law, who thus soon
became the chief item in the cost of
the land. Another curious example of
the difficulties of railroad construc-
recently been mentioned, and has been
afforded by the conduct of the Tartar
general of Moukden, the capital of
Manchuria, in connection with the
surveying work of the railroad from
Kirin, another large Manchurian town,
to Newchwang. the seaport of the
province. According to current re-
port it was proposed to make a juno
tion of this line for Moukden at
place short distance outside the city,
but the general got number of
geomancers to investigate the effect
of this selection upon Moukden These
sages reported that the vertebrae of the
dragon which encircles the holy city
of Moulden would be broken by driv-
ing the long spikes of the railroad
ties into them, and>> accordingly the
general vetoed the decision of the
engineers and directed them to carry
the railroad in a straight line from
Kirin to Newchwang, without APP
preaching Moukden at all. This,
while a shorter route. would compel
the crossing of low and marshy
tractof land. liable to floods and only

FATALIsT, Bur CAUTIOUS.
He Believed in rredestination, But Wanted

He Believed in Predestination, But Wanted
to Be at Safe Distance.
1t was once said by some humorist
that the chances were if man intent
upon committing suicide should meet
an angry bull in field he would run
to save his'life.
And SO it goes, the New York Herald
moralizes. Most men who profess a
belief in destiny and an Indifference to
fate when brought face to fase with
danger or placed in desperate situa-
tion seek to avoid rather than embrace
the inevitable result of the event re-
philosophical opinions.
A case in point is related by trav-
eler returning from the south, and
hinges upon the experience of a minis
ter of the foreordination school of be-
lief. on a Mississippi steamer in the
good old-fashioned days of river rae
ing, when a negro sat on the safety
valve and the furniture and-woodworlS
of the boat fed the fire.
The captain seeing rival boat half
mile ahead began to curse in true
old-time. style, and ordered tar pine
knots, naval stores, bacon, etc, to be
thrown in to i1indle the fire as hot as
possible. As the steam got higher and
higher and the old Loaf trembled and
groaned under the !; pressure, the
preacher drew nearer and nearer to
the stern.
Noticing this and never losing an op-
portunity to crack a joke, the bluff
captain tapped the fatalist on the
shoulder and said: Hello, Brother
Blank, what's ailing you? 1 thought
you was one of them fellows what be-
lieves what is to happen will happen

Mortality of French Infants.

Owing to the enormous mortality of
newly-born Parisians put out to nurse,
and owing to the great mortality of in
fants, principally among the laboring
classes, from diphtheria and measles,
and the high mortality of the citizens
from consumption, the average life or
average age of those who die in Paris
appears to be only twenty-eight years,
while for the whole of France the aver
age age is forty. Nevertheless the popu-
lationNo of Paris increases more and more
by the incessant immigration of pro-
vincials and foreigners, who make up
two-thirds as against one-third of ma
tives. But owing to their feeble natal
ity and high mortality the families
which are not united to these immi-
grants die out in three, four or at most
five generations.
