Of their own which reveal to the in
quirinR public the nature and condition
Of the business with which they are in
dividually connected. The patent Office
possesses large and valuable museum
consisting Of models of inventions, the
fruits of the labor and ingenuity Of
mankind; the treasury department has
q rogue's gallery containing pictures
of professional counterfeiters who have
been apprehended and brought to JUS
tice, and an exhibit of the latest Inn

the navy department has its exhibition
of models Of vessels Of our navy, unsur-

be seen an exhibit Of the latest invent

used by the infantry Of the army, and
also manilxins Of infantry and cavalry
men dressed in the official uniforms
worn at various periods Of our national
existence.
The post Office department has re
Gently established museum which
ranks among the finest In the city.
Postmaster General Wanamaker, under
the Harrison administration, first con-
ceived the idea of providing pcrma-
nent exhibit for the post Office depart
ment. Nothing elaborate, however,
was done towards establishing the mu-
scum until after an exhibit had been
sent to the worlds fair ut Chicagu.
Postmaster General Bissell, as soon a
he became the head OF the department,
took an active interest in bringing
about q consummation of the plans laid
down by his predecessor. The work Of
arranging the exhibition was placed in
the hands Of two experienced employees
Of the department. and was completed
about the middle of October, 1894, when
the museum was opened to the public.
The museum occupies q large room on
the ground floor Of the post Office de-
partment building; q room which was
for many years used by our city post
Office.
OF course, this museum Is interesting
TO the general public; but the visitors
who seem to predominate are the stamp
collectors, to whom the museum ap.
pears to be a veritable Mecca. Inter
ested parties may here find specimens
of every kind Of stamp used by the na-
tions of the world. None of the stamps
are in books, but are arranged in beau
tiful glass cases. The most conspicu-
ous Of all Il the collection Of United
States stamps showing the issue from
lSA7 to 1898. They are placed in PAN
els, each panel containing one series,
and all Of them arranged In an immense
gilt frame fastened to tho wall. A
beautiful effect is produced by the
artistic manner In which they are dis
played.
A full set Of the Columbian stamps
issued In 1893 form part Of this col

the blending colors of the different Is

"Yes. aunt, I love Mr.. st. John"
And in the last words, spoken very
quietly, Aunt Dewey learned the folly
of further remonstrance. Miss Mayo.
with an inconsistency which is not un-
usual in girls of eighteen, had decided
to set all her previous declarations
totally at defiance. She had laughed
at love all her days. Love was hav-
ing his revenge at last.
But Mr.. Emmett was not to be put off

his fate from Miss Mayo's own rosebud

A japanese lady points out that al

the fashions of the attire of the Japan

change the style of woman's costumes
Dresses are generally made. she saws,
several inches longer than necessary,
and this extra piece is raised in the
form of . tuck just above the hips. In
olden times it was the custom to wear
it trailing on the ground, but now that
fashion is confined to the princesses
and members of nobility. In children's
dresses the extra length is sewn in the
form of tuck, and there are also
plaits put in lengthwise on the shoul-
ders, which are let down when the child
grows up Young ladies generally
have very long sleeves reaching
to the hem Of the dress. called
.furi-sOde.' These look &C pretty
and graceful that they are now
worn by even little children. The un-
dergarments are cut like the dress, and
have sleeves Of the same width and
length; but the collar band is much
wider, and is made to pnt on or take
off. and can be changed often. The
collar piece, or .yeri,' is generally a
contrast to the dress, and is composed
of crepe. colored or plain, run with
gold threads or white silk, to be worn
with gowns for grand occasions. The
chief and only stuffs used in Japan are
silk, crepe and cotton fabrics Silk
crepe are used by the well-to-do, cotton
by the poor.
Among the richest and most beau
tiful fabrics which Japan produces.
her brocades take the highest place.
They are thick in texture, varied and
fanciful in color and design and gen.
orally rendered most gorgeous-looking
by the gold threads which are woven
in the material. They are largely used
for the robes of the priests and ladies
court dresses, but more frequently for
the obi or sash. which is an indispensa-
bic adjunct of every lady's toilet 1t ie

round the waist and hips three times
and then tied in an elaborate fashion

broad loop and held in place by q wide
pad which is tied under the arms by
means of crepe strings. Young ladies
of rank and fashion wear the sash in
four large bows, two reaching nearly
to the shoulder and two half way down
the back of the dress. and combined in
the middle by bright-cOlo-ed piece of
crepe with hanging ends. AS this
mode requires such length of obi
and is SO heavy to wear. it is not often
chosen. The haori. or outdoor gar.
ment, is like q dress, only shorter. 1t
