and that Is but small one, lies in the more
and more complete fact that oyerskirts are
here for sure, and to remain. The combina-
tions Of color which have been selected for
the spring look as If they would hold their
own through the summer months. White
will be one OF the favorite colors for warm
weather. For early summer, cloth suits
are in almost every part Of this climate
necessity, and India silks are not generally
Of much use before the latter part OF June.
The coats for the cloth suits come in every
conceivable shape, short skirts and long
skirts, long skirts with the sides followed
up like half moon and coming in long points
front and back and looking like great butter
fy wings. One Of the latest and most
chic coats made is cut quite low and
double-breasted, buttoning with two large
buttons on one side, broad revers turning
back 30 broadly as to almost cross the
big putfed sleeves. The frined skirt
is sewed on to the hip seam smoothly, but
only coming two-thirds Of the way to the
front, thus forming sort Of long cutaway
coat-tail. The effect is very nobby and
stylish. No woman need be without tailor
suit this year, for in all leading shops they
are selling "tailor finish gowns" which are
capitally cut and have very good effect.
These, Of course, are in the covert cloth,
serge or cheviot, and have quite large but
tons. The moire silks are now shown IN all
colors, dark and light, and are "the" thing.
This material, while very harsh and hard to
handle for waist, lends itself beautifully to
the hang and flare necessary to give the
skirts stylish appearance. The skirts OF
MORE costumes are rarely trimmed, unless
some hanging ornaments OF jet from the belt
may be considered trimming. They are
made full and have deep box plaits at the
back. Mirror MORE, like mirror satin and
mirror velvet is the handsomest OF this kind
Of material.
Cloth and wool skirts are now being worn
with silk bodices Of the same color, and it is
a practical idea, for ones heavy skirt does
nicely to wear long after the bodice has be-
come impossible. II silk waist is put with
the winter skirt two or three such costumes
will tide one we'll over between early spring
and warm weather, and the effect, II good
taste is displayed in the selection Of colors,
is chic and stylish. Peplum drapings are
sure 20 for the summer, and there Is no risk
in cutting up material. The idea has given
rise to some charming draperies OF chiffon
and lace. Some Of the light silk gowns have
jabots Of cream guipure set in all the seams,
forming sort Of peplum in points. Wide
ribbons can also be used in the same way.

The Famous Carrara Quarries.

The Carrara qtaly) marble quar-.
ries, which are 400 or 500 in number,
are situated far above the town, in
the midst of the grandest and most
savage scenery. The soft aerial hues
which distance lends to the mountains
disappear on nearer approach. The
great peaks stand up against the sky
in fantastic forms. No trees or ver-
dure clothe their naked sides, no flow
ers grow, no water flows to fertilize
that soil. The 5000 quarrymen who
are busy here appear rs ants crawling
on the vast hillsides. The marble is
quarried by dynamite. Every mo-
ment explosions rend the air, and
huge fragments fly up as if expelled
from volcano. Often the mine has
to be placed-in the perpendicular face
of precipice. Then the workman is
lowered by rope and hangs sus-
pended, ''like the samphire gatherer,
'twixt earth and heaven. A dreadful
trade" About 100000 tons of mar
BILE are annually exported, of which
much goes to America. The quan-
tity is inexhsustible. The entire mass
Of the Monte Sagro, $500 feet high,
which dominates Carrara, is solid
marble.
One of the most famous quarries is
in the valley of the Polraccio. From
this were extracted in Roman times
the 100 tons of marble that served
for the construction of Trajan's col
umn at Rome. Here Donatello got
the block which he carved into his st.
George, and Michael Angelo the one
for his Moses. From here also came
the huge block mentioned in the me-
moirs Benvenuto Cellini, which served
for the colossal Neptune of Ammanati
in the middle of the fountain of the
Piazza della Signoria at Florence.
Unlike the miner, who burrows un-
derground, he works in a binding
glare of light. The fierce heat of the
Italian sun beats upon him in sum-
mer. The cold blast of the tramon-
tana, rushing from the gorges of the
Apennines, chills him in winter. Con-
stantly exposed to danger, seeing his
companions killed and wounded by
his side, trained to rapid action, and
with every faculty of mind and body
on the alert, accustomed to dominate
the rude forces of nature-he has de-
veloped into an independent and pow
erful type of man.-English Illus
trated Magazine.

and silk. They look neat il properly made
up, and combined with some contrasting
color that is suitable. A handsome deml-
toilette or dinner gown made OF light
blue turquoise silk, with narrow black silk
stripes, demi-train, black lace founce and
rosettes Of black lace festooned at intervals
on the bottom OF the skirt. Waist, low neck,
Of blue silk, trimmed with black lace around
the neck, and falling full over the large
balloon sleeves, q most chic and fetching
costume.
Some Of the smartest new costumes seen
have on them stunningly pretty buttons; one
crepon, OF dark brown, had six buttons on
the little jacket, and each button was an
exquisite French miniature. Buttons like
this are great ornament and add very much
to the beauty Of any gown, as do also cut Jet,
steel, rhine-stones, gilt, handsome wooden OF
even bone buttons; but there is certain kind
of buttons which is decidedly aggressive,
very cheap, and which will ruin the best gown
ever made. Not over two or four large but
tons should be used on any costume, and
those few should be fine, handsome and orna-
mental.
Cycling has come to be such settled and
ordinary an occurrence that few American
ladies' are attempting to introduce fancy
short cycling costumes in imitation OF their
English sisters. Costumes are shown with
q very short skirt, falling.but little below the
knees, although the longer skirt reaching to
the ankles is still the favorite. One called
the hsh-yife model was very pretty. 1t had
kilt-plaited petticoat Of navy blue serge,
drapery and blouse Of same material, blue
and white sweater, sailor hat OF blue.
Another Of tan corduroy, skirt and bodice
made in one, the latter turned back at throat,
showing brown flannel blouse, with rolling
collar, sailor hat or cap to match. And the
prettiest Of all, as thought, was OF dark blue
serge, plain, snugly fitted bodice and neat full
trousers, which meet the top OF boots; macy
blue cap. =,

Moonshining Is Popular.

"AToonshining" during the last three years
has increased extensively all over the coun-
try. The number Of Illicit stills captured In
1891 was 795, in 1892, s52 and last year BOG.
Prior TO that time the average OF seizures was
about $50 year.
The internal revenue agents have pre-
pared IN interesting table showingthe local
tiles in which illicit stills were discovered
last year. North Carolina leads, with 254
seizures Georgia comes next with 223 then
Alahama. 107 South Carolina. Sc; Virginia,
73; Tennessee, 35. and Kentucky 13. Several
other States have had seizures, but they were
in single instances, or TWO or three each
only.
In detecting and destroying the stills last
year 4S7 moonshiners were arrested and
three revenue officers were killed. The rec
ord OF seizures from 1881 until and including
1895, covering 4 period Of thirteen years, Is
1882 stills destroyed. In suppressing these
illegal distilleries fourteen Government off,
cials have lost their lives and twenty-one
others have been seriously wounded.

fronted coat is close fitting at the back, ter
inmates in front in revers, resembling those

Walking dresses arc made ground length,
and only long or trained for evening and
dinner toilettes. The skirts are very simple,
but nearly all have slight loop or drape,
generally on the left side or in front. Some
times there is a tablier Of different color or
material, whichis mode that enhances the
effect Of dress very much. Round waists,
with bands and large revers, showing lace
or surah chemisette are also much used.
Sleeves still continue large, falling in folds,
and tight to the wrist, or Like large balloons,
studded with small bows.

Green and violet are still the favorite colors,
and will remain so during the summer.
The bad weather this season has kept many
from wearing their new gowns, md only
lately have straw hats and spring-like gar
ments made their appearance. A tailor
made garment saw was made OF cheviot, a
light tan color. 1t was made with frock coat,
shorter than usual and severely simple, but
unlike most tailor's gowns twas made with
velvet collar of sea-green in the new shade,
with q fancy buckle and jabot very full Of
lace. The hat matching was Of tan straw
with two black Mercury's wings, and large,
narrow bow of sea-Sreen ribbon with tiny
rhinestone buckle. The hat was on the fiat
shape, and caught up on either side so that
underneath the brim showed black and vel
low cowslips and tiny black wings. This
combination OF color was odd but striking.
The new hats, that is the walking hats in
straw, are evidently to be the modified
alpines." They are larger in brim and
broader in crown than ever. They are not
worn entirely plain, as were the first ones,
but almost invariably have two stiff quils
stuck in the band of ribbon on the left side.
1t is a hat that, although popular, is becoming
to but very few.
The collars on the gowns show great
change since last season. They are all mado
to give the effect Of stiff bow with ends.
On some Of the light waists the collars really
seem to be tied Of the silk itself, and with the
ends knife plated and then allowed to flare
out. The haring effect must be had in all
smart gowns, collars and skirts, and, If pos
sible, trimming must have a stiG fyaway
effect. It is all right now, but doubt If the
hot weather allows it to continue Shep-
herds plaids are greatly in fashion this sea-

Poison in Eels,

Recent investigations undertaken
by the Academy of Sciences, Rome,
have demonstrated the fact that the
blood of both eels and lampreys con-
tains poison similar to that of the
viper. The blood OF four-pound eel
is said to contain an amount of this
poison sufficient to kill ten men. The
poisop is rendered innocuous by cook
ing; nevertheless the academy recon-
mends that people suffering from any
organic LESSONS should abstain from
these fish. Literary Digest.

Don't Blame the Cook

If a baking powder Is not uniform in strength
so that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it, and uni
formly good light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed falling off in strength. The food
is heavy, and the -four eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket, if not in health by accepting any SUBJ
stitute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
1t is always strictly reliable. 1t is not only more
economical because of its greater strength but
will retain its full leavenng power which no
other powder will until used, and make more
wholesome food.
