Everything comes to him who
waits" says an old adage, but old
adages are not always to be relied on,
and we are very much inclined to doubt
the truth of this one. At all events, it
must have been in the 'long, long ago, "
when people were content to sit and
wait for something to turn up" or for
fortune to scatter gifts into their listless
hands. In the latter days of the present
century when railroads, steamboats,,
telegraphs, telephones, electric lights,
web printing presses, cheap newspapers,
free postal delivery and other wonderful
inventions and discoveries are prolific,
the man who would keep up with the
procession cannot lose much time by
sitting down to wait, but must get up
and hustle.

A thin and very effective material is

A thin and very effective material is
thus obtained.
Tea gowns are ever an enthralling
subject to me, and confess never see
q pretty one but my deepest envy is
aroused, and can only be appeased ny
the promise Of one IN the near future.
OF course, there are'tea gowns and tea
gowns. but the kind mean are the
lovely sillxen ones that hang in rich folds
from neck to hem, ond the lace-trimrned
cloth ones that fairly shout their French
origin. The picture represents the latest
model. The jacket is made of coral
pink cashmere cloth over an under
dress of the same. The front of the
bodice is covered with point de Venice
lace, through which shows an inner
lining Of Nile green satin. while satin
belt encircles the waist, and around
the neck is a monster rucfe of pink
chiffon over a wide band Of greer satin.
l might mention, in passing, that no
dress is complete without it's ruche,
and it Is very curious to notice in the
streets to-day how unfinished and bare
look the threats of women who wear
neither boa nor ruche We get quickly
accustomed to a new fashion and won
der how we ever smiled on any other.
The new skirt that is semitic us from
over the water is best described by the
word immense. 1t is cut to fit smooth
over the hips, set out full from the
plznees and measures from six to eight
yards at the bottom. For evening wear
there is no inner lining save that of
tarlatan placed between the material
and silken foundation, but for street
wear stiff lining is used to such an ex-
tent that the wearer of the skirt la
mode will certainly find the burden of
this latest of fashions follies extremely
heavy to bear. Yet the full skirt is
pretty and stylish when worn by
graceful woman. 1t does something
toward striking balance of proper
ton with the enormous ruffles around
the neck and the monstrous sleeves
which encircle every arm.
The latest freak of fashionable ETH
quette is black satin knickerbockers
lined with silk or flannel. They are
rather nice in their way, drawn in at
the knee and plated in full at the waist.
They are to wear with the new skirt
have just described and it is claimed for
them that the skirt fits nicer over them
than it does over the conventional pet
ticoat. The notion of knickerbockers
pleases me not and never will. 1 prefer
the soft frou-frou of the pretty satin
and sillxen petticoat.
Fashions change in slippers as in
evarvthiup else and those hro,, chit ont
for 1895 are enough to bankrupt the

most resolute woman. For house wear
the pretty strapped slipper of finest kid
is worn, but with evening dress moth
ing but the dainty satin slipper match
ing the gown in color is seen. Some
are severely plain, with the exception
of a huge rosette of chiffon, while
others are gayly embroidered and fast
ened with one or more paste buckles.
While the hairdressing of to-day can
not be called extremely elaborate, yet
the professional hairdresser was never
in greater demand than at the present
time. Each lock seems to require a
particular twist and turn to bring out
its beauty and only at hands of an ex-
pert can achieve result that is salts
factory. They who have regarded the
"not-too-low-not-too-high" Psyche knot
of past seasons with horror will be glad
to learn that so far as Paris is con-
cerned this trying style is entirely
''out" The wave couture, similar to
the present style, finds much favor
both in London and Paris. Being in
terpreted this means that the hair is
waved and taken back into a loose
knot midway between the neck and
crown. For evening wear something
more elaborate is required. The pic
ture illustrates the la est in this direc-
ton. KATE GARDNER.

tains. 1t may furthermore be foreseen
that along the whole coast of the Pa
cific ocean, where nature has already
formed the most capacious and secure
harbors, important commercial towns
will gradually arise for the furtherance
of intercourse between China and the
East Indies and the United States. In
such case it would not only be desir-
able, but almost necessary, that more
rapid communication should be main
tanned between the eastern and the
western shores of North America, both
by merchant ships and men-of-war,
than has hitherto been possible with
the tedious, disagreeable and expensive
voyage around Cape Horn.

the, that it is absolutely indispen-

tury shall expire in glow of soft rose
color. This lovely shade harmonizes
most admirably with black, the inter-
mingling of the two being an extreme
ly effective combination.
There is a new green which is neither
sage, Nile or Chartreuse, but seems to
have cast of each one In it's compo-
sition, SO exquisitely blended that it is
dream of sea foam, verdant prairies
and richly tinted liquor all mixed into
one.
Heliotrope will be much worn the
coming season. 1t is one of the most
suitable coIors for spring fabrics, as in
it are re- Eoduced the hues of the spring
flowers, the violet, the lilac, the hello
trope and the soft purple tints Of the
iris.
B Silk and wool mixtures and wool cre-
pons come in all the shades of this
charming color. The crepons, by the
way, show something entirely new in
the way OF weaving. They are In waves

tempted to wear nothing but cotton
gowns. Fine French ginghams that
make charming morning dresses come
in the sprigged and striped designs seen
last season, while the crooked effects
find new life in the lovely cotton crepes,
sheer and fine, yet with gloss like fin
est silk. White organdie muslins of
web-lilke texture, soft enough to be
drawn through ring, with tiny-col-
ored stripes running through them,
delicately-tinted grounds strewn with
primroses, daisies and violets, and the
soft, blurred effects are among the
prettiest designs. These organdies
call for tsilken lining, and yards upon
yards Of 4dbbon and lace for garniture,
and make quite as expensive frock as
my lady of fashion can desire.
This seasons challies and wool de-
LANES are of the most exquisite pat
terms and shaded so as to almost re-
semble the finest painting. The
grounds are mostly dark or else deli
cately tinted, showing pretty floral de-
signs. A lovely one had cream-tint-
ed ground powdered with violets, while
a rich a Erk green one was thiclxly
strewn with great pink roses set in
leaves of deepest green.
Silk crepon makes an ideal gowning,
and this seasons importations show for
the first time the eyeletted or perfor-
ated work-a novelty that took all
Paris by storm and bids fair to sweep
everything before it in this country. IL
comes in black and in all the fashion
able colorings Sometimes the perfora-
tions are done in wide stripe alter
mating with narrow one of satin, but
the all-over work is more chic and
Frenchy looking.
Taffetas will remain the favorite silk
for spring and summer wear. They are
imported in changeable colors with
MORE grounds, and the designs are al
most exclusively floral, with tendency
toward larger flowers, roses especially
being used. Some designs struggle all
over the background in a tangle of
posies and leaves with abnormally
long stems
The changeable silks in plain colors
will continue popular during the next
season and those offered in the shops
just now are safe purchase, especially
in green, brown and bluet.

shades, and the Interpretation of this

Flowed ourteen and Half Million Gal

The Kirkbridge No. l oil well, OF

Gated in Madison township, Sandusky
county, o. The flow of oil commenced
November Is. The spectacle is de-
scribed as one of the most magnificent
ever witnessed in that part of the coun-
try. First appeared a column of water
8 or 10 feet in the air. This was fol-
lowed by black stream of mud and
sand, which gradually changed to yell
low. Then, with deafening roar, the
gas burst forth in an immense volume,
hiding the derrick from view.
AS this cleared away solid golden
column a foot in diameter shot from
the derrick floor 100 feet in the air,
there breaking into fragments and fall
ing in shower of yellow rain for
quarter of mile around. For period

shot upward. In a very few moments
the field about the well was covered
several inches deep with petroleum.
Within three or four hours the bitches
for miles around were overlooking with
oil. Dams were constructed in order
that the product might be estimated,
but these were overlooked and swept
away as rapidly as built. Some persons
living in the vicinity, alarmed at the
spectacle, packed their household goods
and fled. The Buckeye pumping sta
ton, a mile distant, was compelled to
extinguish it's fires on account of the
gas, and all other fires within the dis
trict were put out.
1t was literal food of oil, the esti-
mated production for the first twenty
four hours being l4,5oo,0o0 gallons.
About $4,000 barrels per day have been
saved and marketed since the OF has
been brought under full control. The
owner has refused an offer of 5000, 900
for the well, being content with the in
come Of $4,000 per day.
