entail designs, vie with each other in fash
ion and beauty.
The colors for winter millinery are
mainly dark and rich, violet velvet being
used very effectively in some of tho new
models. Maroon is also seen again, usual
ly in a combination Of shades.
The old fashioned drawn silk bonnets
and hats are revived and are very taking.
They are trimmed with bows of velvet,
plumes and velvet flowers. Their chief
fault is that they catch dust in every fold
of the shirring and require daily brushing
with a small bonnet broom made Of fine
hair In order to keep their beauty.
Ostrich plumes and tips are largely
worn and will be all winter. Sometimes
the crown Of the hat or bonnet is surround
cd by a short, upright trimming composed
Of clumps of tips.
An illustration is given of a hat of green
braided felt. An immense bow Of green
satin ribbon is held in place at the front
of the hat by paste buckle. Pale pink
velvet flowers are arranged at the top OF
the crown, while at the sides and back are
flowers of waililower brown velvet with
yellow hearts. A black ostrich boa is worn
with this hat. JUDO CHoLLET.

New York Ladies in a Chinese Play

1he first rehearsal of the Chinese play
to be given by the Young Ladies Chart
table society, worthy organization COM
posed only of unmarried ladies and the
daughters of prominent business men,
took place yesterday morning. The play
is to be produced in two acts, and has
been named Cathay. for the only rea-
son that it has 10 be called som ething. 1t
is an original burlesque, specially written
for the occasion by Mr.. Nicholas Biddle,
author OF The Merry World and is very
laughable sketch. The first act repre-
sents a Chinese laundry scene. while the
second Greats of the Chinese and Japanese
war. The play will be interpreted by the
members of the society only, which, in
other words, means that only ladies will
impersonate the characters. There will
be ten principal speaking parts and q
chorus of fifty voices, and they will talk
in Chinese. Mr.. William josh Daily is
coaching the ladies, and predicts granu
success. The performance will take place
at the Lexington opera house on Saturday
evening, Novem Der I'd. The costumes to
be worn by the performers will be exact
limitations of those worn in China. The
design On the invitations is really nov
city, and is the idea of MIR. Herbert
Levene. the organizer of the society, who
will manage the coming AFFAIR. The card
is printed in red and black, is in imitation
of Chinese laundry ticket, but the
hierogyphics are the translation OF the
English word, charity. On the even
ing of the performance the hall will be
handsomely decorated with flowers. ferns
aud Chinese biic-a brac and antiques,
and every lady will be presented with
some Chinese souvenir. -New York Re-

LECTURES.
Something About Famous Dsscourses and
the Men Who Delivered Them.

the Men Who Delivered Them.
1t appears that clever lyceum lecturer
may run single lecture for lifetime
and may make barrel of money by re-
peating it year after year before different
audiences. In book of "reminiscences by
the genial Bishop Clark of Rhode Island
he makes revelation of the fact that he
has delivered one OF his own lectures $50
times Let us regret that he does not tell
the amount of profit he has got from it.
Plenty Of lecturers have taken in from
500 to 81, 900 for q lecture, and, as the
bishop used to be platform star, we'll
worth 81, 900 time, he may have got a
pretty handsome annual income from his
lecture. Suppose he delivered it ten times
year at that price for 35 years, he could
live in clover on the proceeds 1t is not
every man who would snceze at $40, 900
year from the time he was, say, 40 years
old till he reached the age of 70, all earned
by rafting off the same old lecture once q
month, with two months for vacation and
bracing up
We never heard how many times the
once famous teetotal orator. John B.
Cough, delivered his lecture on Tho Bot
tie" but we would not wonder worth a
cent If we were told /, 900 times. We do
not know bow often that eloquent Amer
lean, Wendell Phillips, now deceased, re-
peated his lecture on 1.-The Lost Arts"
but we know that it served his purpose for
very many years. 1t was a masterpiece too.
If man can get up Il lecture that will
go, the world is his peach. A street organ
which gives you the same tune all the
time is nothing to it.
That satirical lecturer, the late David
r. Locke, better known as the REV. Pc
troleum Vesuvius Nasty, " had q device by
which he saved time and brain. He him.
self once confessed to us that whom ly-
ceum committee from any place called
upon him to engage his services and
asked what he would lecture about he al
ways told them to take their choice,
"Cursed BE Canaan, " Moses In the Bull
rushes, Wisdom For Seekers" and 'Ous
Country Hope. "But, " said Nasty con-
fidentially, II had only one lecture all the
time, and whatever title they liked best
they got the same old thing. 1t suited any
title every place and all occasions!"
We never had the happiness to hear the
lecture which Bishop Clark has repeated
$50 times, year in and year out. Its title
is 1.-THE Living Machine, and there could
not be a better one. 1t is a great thing
for lectur. to have catching on title.
1t is great thing also for a lecturer to be
as grand looking as the now aged Bishop
Clark was in the years of his lecturing.-

clever little things, and this really re-
markable invention grew out OF SIM
pls attempt to amuse her little girl. With
nothing but spools, wire ana paper she
has made little stage with set CO dane
ing figures, and 1t was only when she
saw how bea .tifnlly they worked that she
set to work to arrange a second stage on
a rather more elborate scale, and q "plnk
ballroom IN box, measuring ABOUT
three by two. The stage has mirror at
tile back and is adorned with palms and
hung with curtains. with lights behind
them. The figures, though simply cut from
paper, and dressed in paper and tinsel,
are works of art, and the scene wnen the
box is lighted with colored rays from the
curtains and the little figures are dancing
in their artistic big hats and flying drap-
cries, is like iairyland. The next at
tempt was the skeleton dance from the
Black Crook. which is even more delight
full. 1t is arranged IN green box and
represents moonlight scene. The skele-
tons. cut from wax paper, are almost i'm
visible and yet can be distinctly seen,
which gives them a wonderfully ghostly
look.

OWNING RODS.
Said to BE Only silly Fraud Fit to Fool
;sf1sxS-s,

Said to Be Only Silly Fraud Fit to Fool
S;aiPis.Sss.
A divining rod is simply forked piece
of wood generally witchhazeD which is
alleged to indicate the presence Of mineral
in the ground when the party having it
walks over the surface. The usual direo-
tions for its use are to hold the forked end
of the rod in the hands, and when over
the body of mineral the other end will
dip toward the ground.
1t is impossible to say what charlatan
first imposed the divining rod on credu-
lous people during the superstitious ages.
To attempt to sell such instruments in this
enlightened age is an insult to the general
intelligence.
There never was simple rod that could
exercise such power with the exception Of
the miraculous rod of Moses which by
divine miracle drew water from rock for
the relief of the suffering Israelites.
The only instrument that will indicate
the presence of q mineral is the miners
compass, and it works in conformity to
recognized law of nature. 1t will indicate
the presence of iron ore by the dipping Of
a magnetized needle, when held over q
body Of ore lying near the surface. We
have recently received several letters from
men in various parts Of the country, who
were not inclined to believe the claims
made for divining rods by party in q
small village who offered them for sale in
advertisements inserted in country news
papers, but who were anxious to possess
such an instrument if reliable. To these
we have invariably replied that the parties
Offering such instruments for sale were re-
lying on the credulity of superstitious
people to make their sales.
The man who buys a divining rod is
more foolish than one who will throw the
price of tho rod away, for the one who
throws the money away loses only the
price of the rod. The one who buys the
rod loses both the money and the time he
spends in vain attempts to locate body
of mineral by use of the rod If the min
oral does not crop to the surface, there Is
but one way to find it, and that is by pros
pect shafts or drill holes.-Colliery Ingi-
ueer.

1t is amusing to know how small were
the pecuniary rewards of Bryant's literary
