The shoes that are worn with it are of
quilted silk, fur-lined, or of dantfly-
lined zephyr crocheted or 0rnamented
with ribbons. And for this the mascu-
line woman is substituting the graceless
style of garment in which men incaSe

But this is not all. The petticoat is
doomed. Ruffics headed by ribbon rO-

wears divided skirts. They are of silk,

They are in sad contrast with the bill

The corset cover, too, that combina-
ton of puffs, tucks. shirrings, lace and
ribbon, has been declared entirely too
frivolous by the tailor made girl. She
wears a closely fitting jersey vest, with
no other adornment than tiny GRO

applies the adjectives trim" and ''trig"

ones of laudatory nature that can be

MARIE ANTOINETTE'S GEMS.
The Diamonds Now Worn by
Mrs. Bradley Martin.

MIS-
Quite a furry has been occasioned in
the social world of New York by the
purchase of a queenly crown by we'll
known lady of the $50" Mrs. Bradley
Martin, the mother of the Countess of
Craven, is the fortunate possessor of
the diadem, and it is asserted by writ
er in the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette that during the current season in
New York she will wear the trophy at
the theater, which is sufficient to war;
rant her to be the cynosure of all eyes.
The tiara of diamonds which will grace
her brow was once worn upon the
dainty head of Marie Antoinette, and it
fell into the hands of the French gov
eminent, from which it was purchased
for a few thousand francs or so, and
will teach the unappreciative Amer
leans not to overlook the glories of
royalty. The new owner has distin-
guished herself by love of gems, and
created sensation some time ago by
wearing a sash that was literally COW
cred with diamonds and jewels. She
always buys a half-bushel or two of
precious gems while abroad, and is
said to have given a couple of barrels
of them to her daughter, who was Sc
cured by English nobility.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley Martin and
their three sons returned from Europe a
few days ago, and intend to spend the
winter in New York. They will throw
open their town house on West Twen-
ty-second street, where they will re-
main until spring. at which time they
will return to their house in Scotland
From last August until Dec. 1 they
We're at their country seat, Balmacaan,
among the hills of Scotland, where
Mr.. Martin, his sons and their guests
spent most of the time in shooting.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin intend to enter
tain as lavishly as ever this winter.
While in Europe they are said to have
equaled all previous records set by
rich Americans in the entertaining
line.

AMPUTATED LEGS IN COURT.
Ownership Claimed by Surgeon
and the Husband OF the Loser.

Ownership Claimed by u Surgeon
and the Husband OF the Loser.
Who is the owner of an amputated
leg? Is it the mutilated individual or
the mutila ting surgeon? This is the
embarrassing question before a court
at Brussels, Belgium. So long as the
limb is in place, says the New York
World, it is scarcely necessary to say
that there cannot arise doubt OF the
ownership-possessio is, in this case,
even more than the traditional nine
points of the law But when the knife
and saw have done their work-when
the surgeon has finished his task
does the proprietor, the original oc-
cupant, preserve his rights i'll all their
integrity? Or does the artist who has
amputated the member and trans
formed it, so to speak, into manu-
featured product, acquire, by the very
fact of his labor, the right to dispose
freely of the detached piece? That is
the problem.
The case stands thus. In the month
OF March last a young woman of
twenty-five, newly married, injured
herself by fall so severely as to ne
oessitate the amputation of her right
leg. The operation succeeded marvel
ously, and the surgeon who per-
formed it was so proud of his work
that, without letting any one know,
he carried the amputated limb to his
office and exhibited it as trophy. In
the most conspicuous corner of his
waiting room he placed an enormous
jar, in which the leg of his client was
preserved in alcohol, and which was
duly placarded in large letters with the
name, address and age of the former
owner, together with the circumstances
under which the amputation had been
performed. The surgeon evidently cal
culated, not without reason, that this
spectacle would be fine thing for his
reputation by edifying the public in a
peculiarly suggestive manner regard
ing his wisdom, his ability and his
steadiness of hand, entirely apart
from the pleasure that it might give as
a species of work of art, so to speak.
The trouble is that the ingenious doc
tor had reckoned without his host-that
is to say, without the husband. The
latter had no sooner learned of the dis
respectful use that had been made of
part of the body whose lord and mas
ter he had the happiness of being than
he took prompt legal action. The sur
geon was notified in good and due form
that he must not only put a stop at
once to the unseemly publicity of the
exhibition, but must restore the leg
without delay to it's rightful owners.
The practitioner rejoined that the limb
in dispute, having become, thanks to
him, a simple anatomical exhibit, and
bearing the marks of his handiwork,
was in some sort a newly manufact-
ured article, the fruit of his labor, of
which he had the absolute right to
dispose as he saw fit, and that the hus-
band who had married a wife with two
living legs had no right to claim the
ownership of a dead one
Here the case at present rests, and
all the Belgian legal luminaries are
fighting over it.

MARKET STEADILY DROPPED
Greatest Firmness Being EX-
hibited at the Opening
Provisions Higher.
STOCKS WERE FIRM IN TONE
Fairly Good Buying and With
No Special Pressure to
Sell Visible.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-Grain was weak
today and provisions weak. Wheat
compared with yesterdays closing rates
is 4@sSc lower, corn lost &c and oats
lost &c. Provisions closed higher all
round. Tie weakness In wheat re-
suited from slack eX port demand, and
reports of decline in Argentine wheat
and the other markets followed.
For moment or two at the opening
the wheat dealings were shade better
than the closing yesterday. The steadi-
ness was of very short duration, and
from 5314 C for May at the start, which
was paid for one or two small lots, it
declined in less than half an hour to
5s34@527sc. The Liverpool market was
quoted at I'D higher for American red
winter. and the Western receipts at
MINNEAPOLIS and Duluth amounted to
only us car loads. as compared
with 22O on the preceding Satur-
day and 3O2 on the corresponding
day of last year. Those facts
were known previously to the opening
to the session, and probably accounts
for the frmness at the start. The st.
Louis sales of wheat to local millers
and for shipment, which created the
5ullish feeling with which the market
wound up yesterday, were being made
little of this morning, and were claimed
to be of no special Importance. The ST.
Louis market, starting rather easy,
gave announcement to the idea that
the sales were entirely due to cut rate
in rail freight rates 10 the seaboard. A
cablegram to house, saying that
London dispatches quoted decline
from I'd to I'D in Argentine wheat owing
to increased offerings from there, was,
perhaps, more int1uentially bearish
factor than the discredit attempted to
be thrown upon the st. Louis cash bust
ness. The market became weaker as
The session progressed. and May was
selling at 5255c about thirty minutes
from the close. May finished YEARLY
at SIZE.
Corn was quiet and weak. The heavi-
ness in wheat worked against it, and
although receipts continue light they
are more than sufficient for current
wants i'll the absence Of any desire
among customers 10 stock up against
any future scarcity. Corn opened IT.
regular at from 431a@433sc, and those
were the top prices OF the days range.
1t sold down to 4211sc, and closed at 400
$3.50.
Only fair business was transacted in
oats. Fluctuations were Influenced
principally by those of corn and wheat,
and after suffering a decline early,
closed at OF within very small fraction
Of yesterdays closing quotations. May
sold from 2S56c to 2S75c and back to
1890, at which price the market closed.
The publication of the stocks OF pro-
visions caused that market to rule firm
and to advance in the end 15c for pork,
715c for lard and 1Oc for ribs. Larger
stocks had been contidentially looked
for and estimated receipts Monday:
Wheat, 80; corn, 2l0; oats, $50; hogs,
$4,000.

Elephants Tending Babies.

PittSburg Dispatch.
The whole family of the mahout be-
come, as it were, parasites to the ele-
plant, by whom they earn their living.
1 have seen baby placed by it's mother
Systematically under the elephants
care, and within reach of it's trunk
while the mother went to fetch wood
or material to cook the family dinner.
No jackal or wolf would be likely to
pick up and carry off a baby who was
thus confded to the care of an ele-
plant; but most people who have lived
a life in the jungle know how very pos
sible it is for a jackal or a wolf to
carry off baby when lying in a hut
when the mothers back is turned.
The children thus brought up in the
companionship of an elephant become
familiar with him and take all kinds
of liberties with him, which the
elephant seems to endure on the prin-
ciple that it boes not hurt him,
while it amuses the child. You see
a little naked black child, about two
feet high, stading on the elephants
bare back, and taking it down to the
water to battle, shouting all the time
in the most unbecomipg terms of ma
tive abusive language.
On arriving at the water the ele-
plant, ostensibly in obedience to the
child's command, lies down and en-
joys himself, just leaving a part of
his body, like a small island, above
water, on which the small child stands
and yells, and yells all the more if he
has several companions of his own age,
also in charge of their own elephants,
all walloWing in the water around him.
If the child slips off his island, the
elephants trunk promptly replaces
him in safety. The little urchins, as
they grow up, become first mates to
the dignity of being mahouts them
the dignity of beng mahouts them
selves.
