added, and buttons and a strip Of fur
so on the sleeve cuffs. Few designs
necessitate rs much fur edging as this,
many have not more than a third as
much, so there's small chance to
economiZe after all.
It's a sleeve and a dainty n that
makes distinct the final street dress
shown here. Its draping is accom-
plished and held by a black passemcn-
terie ornament in a way that gives n
thoroughly novel effect. The rest Of
the bodice is made Of white MORE,
slightly gathered ut the neck and waist,
where it is finished with a plain wa
tered silk belt. 1t is garnished with a
black cloth yoke having tabs in front
and back which are hooked to the belt.
The yoke Is embroidered, and the collar
is a white watered silk ruff. The black
cloth gives the plain skirt, and it Is
lined with black and white striped
taffeta.

The Gar and Insular Vanity.

~A~A "hu AnSuAAE AulIys .
1t is etiquette to predicate every vir-
tue In the occupant Of a throne on his
accession to it. What the present EN-
peror of Russia may be, and still more
what he will become under the baneful
influence OF irresponsible power, no
one knows. 1t has, Of course, been
taken for granted that he is one Of the
wisest and best of human beings, and
will ever become still wiser and still
better each year that he lives. This is
mere courtly ~phraseology. He proba-
bly, Is not better or worse than any
other Russian. for his position is due
to mere blind accident. But what has
particularly amused me in the lauda-
tory lucubrations respecting him in
which our press has INDUCED is that it
Is deemed proof positive of his fitness
for the post Of Emperor Of Russia that
he should act not by the advice of his
W ministers. but by that of the Prince
of Wales, and that he should not so
much look to the interests Of his own
country as to those Of ours. There is
an insular vanity in all this, which is
only equaled by the lectures that our
press has been addressing to him under
the impression that he will read, mark,
learn, and inwardly digest them.-Lon.

MICHIGAN'S B~ENEFACTOR.
AN OFT REPEATED STORY OF
TRUE PHILANTHROPY.

What Chas. II. Hacklcy Has Done for
Western Michigane
from Grand Rapids. Mich, Euenino Press)
The most beautiful spot in all this city
IL inseparably associated with the name
of Hackley. Chas. IL. Hackley has been
in the lumber business here continuously
since 1866. and in that time has amassed
a fortune which gives him n rating among
the wealthy men Of the nation. But with
wealth there did not come that tightening
Of the purse strings which is generally u
marked characteristic of wealthy men.
1t is no wonder. then. that the name OF
Charles Ii. Hackley is known ut home and
abroad. His muniiicence to Muskegon
alone represents an outlay OF nearly hall
q million. For the past twenty years ne
has been a constant sufferer from neural
gia and rheumatism, also numbness of the
lower limbs, so much SO that it has seri'
ousiy interfcred with his pleasure in life.
For some time past his friends have no
ticed that he has seemed to grow younS
again and to have recovered the health
which he had in youth.

the dress include some novel feature to
act as Il magnet for feminine attention.
Fur is the stuff that swells the cost Of
most elaborate outdoor dresses, and
very often it is so applied as to com
bine great expense and ingenuity in one
costume. but a single bit of unusual
ness will suffice without the pelt, as in
the simple dress Of the first picture.
Here it is the odd velvet collar and re-
vers that dominate. They are edged
with narrow g%alloon, and beneath them
there shows a vest of pleated satin
trimmed with several narrow bias vel
vet folds. The bodice comes inside the
skirt and is held by a draped velvet belt.
Godet pleats take up the fullness Of the
skirt, whose front is ornamented by
fancy steel buttons. Amazon cloth is
the dress goods.
The economical woman can make a
very little fur serve to point a whole
costume, but economical womcn do
not set the fashions, and they will do
well at the start to watch closely the
way furs are utilized by those who can
afford all that Is needed of them. With
the latter lucky ones it must be a rare
skin that is used spariESly. 4 bit of
ermine may give the necessary final
touch Of elegance to a handsome street
turnout, and it may be put into the
little c%ollarette that is worn about the
shoulders. or it may be just a head aud
tail on the toque, but more common
skins must make a bigger showing,
and the others may be pcru,itted to
do so IL the wearer likes. The next
picture shows to what magnificence
good taste may attain. This is n prin-
cess dress Of sapphire-blue cloth.

Some Wonderful Things Can BE Ac.
com plished in This World.
A number of our great and most IN
veterate tobacco smokers and chewers
a quit the use of the filthy weed.
The talismanic article that does the
work is NO-to-bac. The reform was
started by Aaron Gerber, who was a
confirmed slave for many years to the
use of tobacco. He tried the use of No
to- bac. and to his great surprise and de-
light it cured him. Hon. G. w. Ashcom.
who had been smoking for sixty years,
tried No-to-bac and it cured him. Col.
Samuel Stoutner. who would eat up to-
bacco like a COW eats hay, tried this
wonderful remedy and even Samuel,
after all his years of slavery, lost the
desire. J.. G. Cobler, Leasing Evans,
Frank Dell, George b. May, C. O. Skill
ington, Hanson Robinett, Frank Hersh-
berger, John Shinn. and others have
since tried No-tO-bac. and in every case
they report not only a cure of the to-
hacco habit but a wonderful improve
ment in their general physical and
mental condition, all of which goes to
show that the use of tobacco had been
injurious to them in more ways than
one. Eo-to-bac is popular with the
druggists. as they all sell under abso-
lutte guarantee to cure or refund the
money.-From the Press. Everett, Pa.
