on splendid horse, was always to be
seen when fighting was going on,
sometimes at the front urging on the
soldiers, at other times at the rear as-
sisting the wounded.
During the fierce fighting at the en-
trance to Lima Martha vas wounded
by a bullet in the right foot. She
mortgaged small house which she
owned in Callao, and when the coali.
ton forces commenced what was vir-
tually the siege of Lima she employed
her little fund in the purchase of re-
volvers and other articles.
There were three days tremendous
fighting in Lima, over 1000 men lying
dead in the streets. About fifty per
cent. of the combatants engaged we're
placed hors de combat. By this it
will be easily understood how the con-
duct of Martha, the Vivandiere, has
made her famous.

Mother the Potent Influence.

A pathetic story is told regarding q
pardon recently granted by the Presi-
dent. An army officer had been tried
by court.martial. he was sent to
prison. A member of Congress did all
in his power to have him pardoned.
All sorts OF argument and every posi-
ble influence were resorted to, but to
no avail. This member went to the
White House regularly every two
weeks for about year to make a for.
NAL petition for pardon. The Presi'
dent was always firm and each time
gave the same answer. Then it came
about that Mr.. Cleveland in an ad'
dress uttered some moving sentiments
concerning his mother. The Con
gressmar read the address in the pa
pers and went at once to the White
House.
'T have come" he said to the Presi.
dent, "to ask for the pardon Of"
81 know" replied Mr.. Cleveland.
'I know what always brings you"
yesterday morning." the Con-
gressman continued, II read youl
beautiful reference to your mother
This young man has mother. She
is now dying of a broken heart. I'm
less this only son is pardoned and

Body Turned to Stone.

The bodies of four Chinese were ex-
humed at Columbus, Ohio, and placed
in zinc boxes 10 be shipped to China.
Great CONSERVATION was caused when
it was found that the body of one oi
them, Me Lung, who had embraced
the Christian religion before he died,
had turned to stone.
As the box provided for it was not
half as long as the body, it became
necessary to break the petriied
corrse. To do this the Chinese in
dulged in a tug-of.war with the
corpse, breaking the legs, arms and

FASHIONS WHIMS.
FALL AND WINTER NOVELTIES
IN WOMAN'S WEAR.
Waist Trimmings Are Getting Elab-
orate-How to Wear Wells
Styles in Jackets
and Capes.

VVTAIST trimmings are grow
\N/ ing more and more elab-
v crate, if that were pos
sible, until there is no
telling where this extreme will end.
A new costume has an arrangement OF
fichu and drapery That illustrates the
excesses to which this fashion is being
carried. A narrow section of the ma
terial extends over each shoulder from
the waist line at the back to the bod
ice point in front. This is laid in
plaits that are caught down or pressed
to hold them in place. From the
front of this plating long tabs fall al
most to the hem of the skirt in front.
Around this and the waist section is
plating made extremely full and
graduated. Over the shoulders it is
about eight inches wide and grows
narrower to the waist line, where it is
but about an inch and half in width.
The same order is observed in the
tabs. At the lower portion the plait-
ing Is very wide; large, loose bow
is placed at the waist line in front and
covers the meeting point of the plait-
1ngs that pass over the shoulders.
This arrangement is made of taffeta
silk and crepon, and is large enough
to almost entirely cover the waist and
the tops of the sleeves nearly to the
elbows.
Another waist trimming has double
rufae, of taffeta silk on wool ma
terial. These ruff1es are set in just
over the shoulders, and are graduated
to the waist line, where they form a
surplice effect. Over these double
rufies arc very wide pointed revers of
the dress fabric. These revers are
opened on the shoulder like a lapel,
one point running in front of the
sleeve, the other in the back.

Oldest Yacht in the World.

The accompanying illustration is
made from a photograph by Emile
Brugsch-Bey, OF an ancient Egyptian
boat, the original being found in the
course of excavations conducted by
NJ. de Morgan and Meir, and now at
Gizen. The sails Of this boat were
probably not made of ramie cloth,
and it is evident that they do not set
with that graceful smoothness that
characterizes the sails of the present
era; still, the striking similarity in
the general model of the hull will be
apparent to every one. This ancient

the middle seam, throwing two forms
into one; and this single broad form,
after being tapered to the waist line,
expands below, and is folded in a
triple box plait and kept quite fat. A
kind Of fan plating is thus made in
the two back seams. A single side
form reaches far forward under the
arms. The front is quite straight, or
else is fitted partly by single darts.
Revers are rather short and widely
pointed. Often there are two or three
revers each side of the front, and the
collar is formed of similar pointed
pieces. One feature is that Of cutting
the coat much lower about the throat
than any worn in many years.
Sleeves are large, and are usually OF
the shape now prevalent. They are
given new effect, however, by the
way they. are put in the armhole, the
space directly at the top being left
plain, in order to increase the appear
ance of very long shoulders. All the
fullness is then massed in plaits on
the side and underneath. This also
makes sleeves droop about the elbow.
Other sleeves are shaped by seams
from top to bottom, giving melon
puff IN sections, rather than the bal
loon puff of last year.
Both smooth and rough finished
clothes are used. The latter for jack
cts OF medium price, while those of
cloth with velvet like finish are good
enough to wear with the best calling
toilettes. These are imported i'll dark
tar, golden brown, end green, while
navy blue and black are more often
chosen for the rough woolens. -Hur-

DAINTY CAPEs.

Wee capes that are not altogether
unlike those of last season are to be
stylishly worn in the theatre and con-
cert room, and it is dainty example
of this sort of garment that is pre-
sented here. OF white gros grain, 1t
is composed of series of panels cut
into points at the lower ends and en-
broidered with tiny spangles in di-
agonal lines. The lower edge is fin
ished with an accordion plated black
mousseline de sole frill, and very
delicate pale blue silk lines the whole.
Around the neck comes full ruche of
black chiffon with long black ribbon
ends. The accompanying hat is Of

The cat @ -nine-tails still cuts its

ants are often whipped unmercifully
for paltry offenses. Lately the legis'
lative body of the Government OF
Tscheringoff petitiopal the Gear to
prohibit the use nf the knout in the

that, in many instances, intelligent
peasants have preferred suicide to the
ignomipy of corporeal punishment.
The petition was answered negatively.

PLAID GOWNS.

and they certainly do brighten up tho

Another dress has the waist entirely
covered with ruff1es Of very finely
crimpled chiffon or crepe lisse. There
is a velvet collar and velvet sleeves
and belt, the thin ruffies yelling the
entire figure with the exception of a
single wide box plait Of velvet that
passes over the ruffies and is caught in
at the waist line.

Pots and Stoves.

The fires of energy are lighted very soon in
fife and the struggle begins, as the saying is,
ito keep the pot boiling" But speaking
literally, fires are still kindledwith kerosene,
and many pot boils over or is, overturned.
Frghtful burns and scalds result in spite OF
warning and suffering. The thing is then
not to preach but to practice, and the prac-
tice IS, for sure cure, to use St. Jacobs Oil

hold-over senator under the former ar
rangement, will serve his term out,

chances are in favor of Republican,
as Walworth's Republican plurality is
pretty sure to be greater than Jeffer-
