have no need of dress to sustain it. But nevertheless, you anticipate without un- mixed regret the prospect of assuming costume more in proportion to your intrinsic merits. And when you can combine the freedom of nearly worn out dress with the anticipation of cast ing off the chrysalis and coming forth like butterfly, you are probably at the .high-water mark of self-satisfaction To unite the sense of being above dress with an equally keen sense of being fully entitled to dress well, and of the intention to justify that title, is per haps the very acme of any luxury that clothes can confer. You enjoy your proud superiority doubly, first in parad- ing your indifference to the accidents" of dress, and next in the immediate prospect Of properly asserting that su- periority on a fitting and near occasion.

- FASHION NOTES.

The Pride of Rare stuffs Takes a Fall.
 A jaunty walking costume is pictured below, one that is a good model for the athletic miss and one that will serve we'll as a skating costume if such is re- quired. Its perfectly fitted vest hooks in the back, is ornamented with two rows of small buttons and is made of silver gray cloth, high at the neck and finished with pointed turned down collar, The jacket outside this has a ripple skirt in the back, and open fronts turned back in revers that are faced with chinchilla. Each side has a pocket, and the wearers of such dresses are much given to using these as does this maid in her pictured pose The plain skirt is gored, lined with stiff moreen and funnel pleated.
 Simple as this costume is, it shows in it's full collar and reyers that it is re- sponsive to the current craze for fur garments and trimmings. Never have furs been more generally worn nor been

The probable effect of the opening of the Chicago drainage canal upon the water level of the great lakes is up for discussion again. The Chicago engin- eers declare that at the most 1t will not lower the lake level more than three inches. But Professor G. Frederick Wright, of Oberlin college, an acknowl- edged authority on the subject, says that the canal will ultimately divert 10 per cent. of the water that now passes over Niagara; and in the late summer and autumn this will seriously interfere with navigation. As preventive meas ire. he suggests that a dam be con- strtlcted across the lower end of Lake Superior at the 'soo," which will raise the level of that lake two feet and store enough water during the rainy season to supply the lower lakes during the late summer and fall

We call the attention of the silver men to a new argument in favor of their precious metal. Canadian girls heat a number of silver dollars, and slip them into netted purse, carrying the latter in their muffs The coins treated in this way retain the heat for several hours, and can be utilized thrust inside the dress to protect the chest or put about the throat, or applied almost anywhere about the body where the cold is most felt.

Tacoma, Washington, is stirred by no less than five prophets who declare that the world is coming to an end in 1S97 They have issued warning to the peo- ple to beware of a false Christ, who will arrive about that time. They are the Rev. MT. Jefferis, the Rev. MT. Price, H. c. Leuters, Henry Baker and Mrs. Cliff, all evangelists. They declare that nine-tenths of the human race will perish miserably by war, plague, fam inc. pestilence, earthquake and hail during the next five years. Christ will come with His bride, and Satan will be sealed up in a bottle for one thousand years. Heaven will hang in mid-air all that time. They have seen hell, and it is six thousand miles across, and long enough to hold all sinners.

This sad story off great editor
is told by the Atlanta Constitu-
ion
1.-The editor of the Courier
Journal is not it's owner. He is
powerless to direct its course
when he is hampered by the
business office. He has made
a brave struggle, but slowly and
surely the interests and infu-
ence of the business Office coil
around him until the strong man
staggers helplessly under his
burden, without the power to
strike q blow for himself or his
people. 1t is the irony of fate.
Here is man who but yesterday
was willing to dare everying for
the people against the money
power, and today he finds him
self the slave of that power.
But he must accept his lot or cut
loose from the great newspaper
which his genius has built up,
and begin life anew in his old

County Surveyor Carter went up near By,
numville yesterday to survey 23aacre
tract OF land, part of which is in section 4.
55-17 and part IN 6-55-17. This is the same
land to which Capt. L. Benecke of Brunswick
discovered the title to be in the government
not long since, and at once entered it at the
government land Office at Springfield, Mo.
The parties who have been supposed to own
this land and who have had it in peaceable
possession for a number of years, are A. j.
Bartholomew, a man named Goble, and
Judge Berry Owens, or rather his estate.
Yesterday made the third time Mr.. Carter
had gone to make the survey, as the parties
living there had twice before entered their
protest against his surveying the land. Capt.
Beneeke subsequently, mandamused him, and
he was again dispatched under the protes-
ton Of one or two special deputy sherins to
do the work desired BY Capt. Benscke. A
long-drawn out Lawsuit over this land i be,
lieved to b imminent.
