the ones that can easily be copied. The square
one is usually made of satin, either to match
the frock, or of black, if other black trimmings
are used in the costume 1t is modified
sailor collar-pretty muehly modified-like
those worn by small boys. In the fronts the
edges are not slanted of as they are for the
small boys, and the edges are all rufiled with
lace. which is another difference. Tho satin
must be lined with lightweight tafTets to make
it set prettily The lace is not put on very
full except at the cornors.
The yoke and bertha are fashioned after this
manner: First, cut out a paper yoke from
good pattern, and then sew to this the stripes
of ribbon and lace embroidery and lawn,
chiffon and jet, or embroidery and lace, round
ing them out to fit the neck and lower edge OF the
yoke. Sometimes the yoke is cut with point
in the middle of the front and back. curging
in over the shoulders, which is also very
pretty. Make a collar of folded material, or
of ribbon. If tho bertha be as wide "a the ono
pictured, it must be very full to look well, and
is only pretty in lace chiffon. For little
embroidery collars to wear over gingham frocks,
with a crisp little ruffle of Swiss embroidery
around the yoke-a ruffls six inches wide IS
pretty. The yoke may be made OF Swiss in
sertion, alternating with strips of torchon lace
or lawn. When made, they trim any gingham
or dmity frock prettily, and they can be kept
clean and fresh easily by frequent launderings.
as they are made separate from the dress.

Ali of the collars are exceedingly graceful
and becoming, and are one Of the most satisfsc-
tory ideas in our styles just now.

THE JUDGMENT AND OLD LIBERTY Bell.
By samuel Hendrickson. Published at ~ Bisis
House New York. Prce % cents.
This book contains some singular declar.-
tions. which the author evidently believes, and
seeks 70 prove by the Bible He makes the
announcement that the end Of this age expires
in April. 1896: that the first resurFection day
is July 4. 1896 . that Christ will appear on ne
earth July T. 1899, to reign with His saints
at Jerusalem. he also claims that the birthday
of Jesus Christ was July 4 instead Of Dec. Is,
and that the Great Pyramid is none other than
the Tower of Babel. The most singular chap
ter perhaps. in the book is the one on the eom-.
ing Napoleon the false Messiah or anti
Christ in which he claims that the Prince I'm
perial who was supposed to have been muir
dered in Zululand in 1879, is still alive, and
will be brought forward during the prsseas
year by the Roman power.

Postmaster General Bissels reason for retir-

does not feel warranted in continuing the ex-
travapance that is necessary to a man in his
place in Washington. His leaving the Cabinet,
however. is not important, in connection with
the gossip as to The disposition of Secretaries
Carlisle and Gresham. as il is not likely that
either Of them would be appointed Postmaster
General under any circumstances. The ques-
tion. therefore, of whether Mr. Carlisle OF Mr..
Gresham is TO leave the Cabinet seems to de-
pend entirely upon whether Justice Jackson

Senator Harris. of Tennessee, is still endeav-
oring to secure favorable acion upon the bill
introduced by him some time ago permitting
Associate Justice jackson, of the Supreme Court,
to retire from the bench. The bill has been re-
ported from the Committee on the Judiciary
with an amendment, but some adverse interest
is at work to prevent its passage. The most
plausible explanation of the opposition is that
the Republican Senators are not in favor OF Civ
ing President Cleveland opportunity to place
another Democrat upon the bench 1t is esti.
mated, however, that there is an additional
opposition to the passage OF the bill growing
out of the belief that Senator Harris acted with
out authority OF Justice Jackson.
