Last Years Gown.

A style very useful for renovating
the bodice of last'year's gown is TIC
cut it in low square front and back,
filling in this open space with some
new bright contrasting fancy silk or
satin material. To conceal the joining,
use is made of twisted ribbon, row OF
pretty jetted gimp, or band of velvet
with rosettes and shoulder bows for
additional lining. If the sleeves are
not voluminous enough for present
fashion, large puffs may be added,
matching the silk or satin guimpe, using
the best portions of the old sleeves for
the forearm parts of the new sleeves,
or a very full rutfle of lace may be set
above the original sleeve, thus pro-
ducing a distended appearance from
shoulder to shoulder. Many other de-
vices are resorted to for changing
sleeves that are not wide enough, such
as pointed insertions of piece velvet or
insertion bands of gimp jet, lace or
ribbon producing stripped effect; al
so Hungarian caps, shoulder-capes,
epaulets, and narrow putfs set in full
at the top of the sleeve and tapering
to a point at the elbow.-N. Y. Post

To Light the Dinner Table.

Candelabra are very pretty things il
there be any in the family, but they
are expensive to buy. and four silver
,andlesticks are, on the whole, more
useful and ornamental. Nowadays
there are candles in the market war
ranted not to drip, and made not who'll
ly of wax, but of some composition
which burns brilliantly and slowly.
They average eight to the pound, and
cost something like twenty-five or
thirty cents a pound. No light is SO
satisfactory or so becoming as candle
light. When the great question of IL
lumina ton and flowers is settled, there
remains one more opportunity for in
dividual taste. for bonbons, salted al
monds and olives may be disposed here

The Magistrate Doubted II the Lawyer
Could Renew His Patent.
A lawyer who makes speciality OF
patent business, no matter just where
his office is located, was called to the
further west in a case involving mort
gage on farm. The preliminary hear
ing was before an oldfashioned justice
of the peace, who had no high regard
for the ways of men from the city. At
some point in the case the magistrate
put in a few remarks and the visiting
LAWYER collided with him. The dis
cussion grew warm, and at last the
magistrate, forgetting his dignity and
his position became personal.
"Who are you, anyway he blurted
out.
"Well," replied the lawyer, I'm an
attorney"
"P'raps you are, but I never heard
one talk like you do. What kind OF a
one are you?"
'I'm patent attorney"
The magistrate rubbed his chin for
thought.
well, all I've got to say is" he said,
slowly, "that when the patent expires
don't believe you can ever get it re-
newed again. Y. Advertiser.

FAST AND SLOW MOTION.
Magnetic Circles Deyond which No Planet
Ever Passes.


Ever Passes.
What Is termed the magnetic circle Is
the orbit formed by the excess of mo-
ton the surrounding planet has more
than the forward motion Of the central
planet. The field circumscribed by the
path of the surrounding planet is
never round nor a true eclipse, but
elliptical. Every opaque planet has a
certain preponderanceN of motion
more than the sun, and their respect.
i've motions are never increased or de-
creased; there may be change of &C.
centricity of the orbit, but the belt
measure described by the center of mo-
ton remains constant, be the path SER
pentine or perturbated. One convolu-
ton of the earth's spiral path defines
the suns motion for one sidereal year;
precisely as one synodical period OF
the moon governs the distance of the
moon registers on the earth's spiral
path.
If by any means ball be projected
from the earth the invisible circuits OF
force, always present with matter and
termed centripetal force, acting on the
ball, retard its upward motion and ac-
CELEBRATE it's downward motion. The
mechanical equivalent, were there not
gravity on the earth, would be an elias
tic cord attached, the ball projecting
up; the cord would retard the balls
upward motion and accelerate its
downward motion. 1t is a well-settled
principle in philosophy that both
forces mentioned are as positive in
their action as the chain by which the
log is drawn. The true difference in
the assumed defective force, which is
positive coercion, and the forces caus-
ing the magnetic circles is the
latter are innate in the organization
as much as the head is a part of the
body, the center of motion in the
planet being eccentric, SO that the pre-
ponderauce lies in toward the sun,
complying with mechanics with which
scholars are familiar. Where the sun
shines on the earth and the earth's
poles substantially parallel to itself
are well known.
The purpose is to give an outline to
the true means of planet reflection,
inasmuch as the earth does not record
on it's orbit the acceleration recorded
by the sun on the zodiac. No New
tonian scholar has ever made correct
drawings of the problem of the earth's
orbit, zodiac. and position of the sun.
Much less, no attempt by the
schools has been made to show how 1t
is possible for the sun to register ac-
celeration Mt all if the center of the
sun be in the focus. In brief, the al
legged fast and slow motion of the
planets conclusively proves that the
authors of such theory formulated
what they must now know was the
most serious blunder in all astronomy,
even greater than the quiescent earth
as center of motion, for this was diff
ficult to prove, while the uniform mo-
ton of respective planets is simple OF
solution and immutably true as any
other fact in astronomy. The change
in the eccentric center of motion by
magnetic force forms the orbit, of
WHICH the mean is the magnetic circle.

DR.. HOLMES LAST DAYS.
The Death Of wife and Daughter Left Him
Lonely.

Lonely.
For many years 1t seemed that time
stood still with the Autocrat. His
happy home and his cheerful tempe,
appeared to stay the hand of the de-
stroyer. At last a long illness fell up
on his wife; and after her death, when
his only daughter, who had gone to
keep her fathers house, was suddenly
taken from his side, the shadows OF
age gathered about him; then we
learned that he was indeed an old
man.
For the few years that remained to
him before his summons came he ac-
cepted the lot of age with extraordi-
nary good cheer. His hearing became
very imperfect. II remind myself

you would remember them! / called
the poem The Archbishop and Gil
Bias: A Modernized Version" He
then repeated with great humor and
pathos few of the lines:
Can you read as once you used to? Well,
the printing is so bad,
No young folks eyes can read 1t like the
books that once we had.
Are you quite as quick Of hearing? Please

often wonder which will win the race
first-the cataracts or death"
He was most carefully watched over
during the succeeding years of disabili-
ty by his distinguished son and his
daughter-in-lav, of whose talent he
was sincerely proud. Nevertheless, he
suffered of necessity many lonely
hours, in spite of all that devo-
ton could do for him. Such a
wife and such a loving daughter
could not pass from his side and find
their places filed. But he did not

have said. truthfully, too we'll sus-
tanned. His habit of carrying himself
with an air of kindliness towards all,
and of enjoyment in the opportunities
still left him, was very beautiful and
unusual If the Lord thinks it best
for me to stay until tumble to pieces,
I'm willing-I'm willing" he said. He
was always capable of amusing his
friends on the subject, as in the for
mer days when old age came and Of
fered him "a cane, an eyeglass, tip

Who that heard him can ever forget
the exquisite reading of 1.-The Last
Leaf" at the Longfellow memorial
meeting. The pathos of it was then
understood for the first time. The
poem had become an expression of his
later self, and it was given with per-
sonal significance which touched the
hearts of all his hearers. Mrs. Annie

ABOUT DINNER-cIvINo.
Some Hints for Ladies' Who Like Thi,
Form OF Hospitality.

Form OF Hospitality.
Dinner-giving should not be great
tax on any good housekeeper; her
domestic affairs should be SO arranged
and in such good running order that
the mere fact Of having few extra
persons to entertain is of very little
moment. Table decoration, to be in
good taste, should be very simple.
There was time, only few years ago,
when we ran into tremendous extremes
in this regard, says writer in Har-
per's Bazaar. At dinners favors were
sometimes given, which for many per-
sons it was an embarrassment to accept.
But we have seen the folly Of all this,
and have modified our ways, and now
we entertain in a more temperate and
certainly in much more refined man.
ner. Any ostentatious display of wealth
is vulgar, and Is generally so consid-
cred.
Candles are used for lighting dinner
tables, chiefly because the light is sup
posed to be softer and more becoming.
These are placed either in single
candlesticks, disposed in some regular
way on the table, or in low candelabra.
Shades are used or not, as one prefers.
If they are used, the table decorations
should be kept harmonious in color.
There is an asbestos lining which can
be bought separate from the shades,
and can be readily used. This prevents
any danger Of their burning. The
candles themselves should be very
cold, and if they are laid in an ice
chest all day, they will burn evenly,
without any Of that disagreeable melt
ing which is so disfguring to the candle
and so damaging to the candlestick.
There are all sorts and kinds of de-
vices used as substitute for candles,
but the best taste is to have the real
thing, and with just little thought
given to the su bject the wax candles
ought to burn satisfactorily. Small
lamps are often used, and sometimes
there is no light on the table itself,
illumination depending entirely upon a
drop-light, which, with handsome
shade, casts mellow glow on the
table, and is absolutely no trouble at

effect produced, when there was a
chandelier directly over the table, by
arranging an open japanese umbrella
so that the light was softly diffused
through this medium, and at the same
time ones head was protected from the
heat of the gas.
Flowers should be odorless, If pos
sible, when used for dinner-table
decoration, as strong-scented blossoms
are apt to make some persons feel faint.
OF course violets, roses and the like
would not come under the head of
heavy perfumes. The floral decoration
should be kept low, so as not to OBJ

boutonniere is often placed at each
gentleman's plate, and long-stemmed
rose at each lady's. tits pretty fash

after dinner the man or maid can pass

placed, and each lady may select her

there are also placed on the table

candies, cake, etc.

SELF.ROCKING CRADLE.
A Novelty That VIII Be Welcomed by
Many Tired Mothers.

A cradle set in motion by clockwork
mechanism is certainly novelty, and
will be welcomed by many overworked
mothers and nurses. In outward APP
pearance this novel cot is much the
same as the ordinary wire net bassi-
nette, suspended between two upright
supports, the motor being inclosed in
metal casing, which is fixed in the
front part of the cot. The mechanism
is wound up with key and started by
a button, when it will produce steady
and noiseless rocking motion at very
slow and gentle speed, lasting from
one to forty minutes. The swinging
motion can be stopped and restarted at
will by simple continuance, and the
