cAPRICES OF FASHION.

MORE novel than one box plat down
the front of the skirt is one down each
side.
The fashion of wearing white at the
throat is not so prevalent as it was in
the spring.
IT is quite safe to have any silk
gown, or a light wool designed for early
autumn wear, made with ruffied skirt.
SOME very elegant plaid silk blouses
are being devised by fashionable IOS~
distes to wear with tailor-made coz
tunes
PLAIDs are very fashionable, and will
be all the fall. They are made now in
cottons and silks and every variety of
gauze.
PRETTY dresses for afternoon and
evening wear at fashionable resorts are
made of the soft, light pineapple silks
SO popular this season.
The new skirts are not especially
heavy. They are lnverlined with hair
cloth for several inches, and some of
then, have light, flexible wire inserted
in the hem.
A BLACK-cLoTH suit is novel and
handsome, and the skirt is original if it
shows some attempt at draping-very
slight, it is true, but conspicuous be-
cause of its novelty.

TRICKS OF TRADE.
What Becomes of Furniture Sold a,

Auction.
There are many tricks in the auction
business. the same as there are in every
other trade, says the Detroit Tribune.
A woman has household goods which
she wishes to sell and, being ignorant
of the ways of doing business. decides
to call some one in the secondhand
furniture trade, who wishes her tC

The fact is duly advertised. the red
flag is swung from the porch, the
neighbors call and walk curiouslv
through the rooms, eying, spying and
whispering. Their gossip concerns the
sadness of the thing. the shoddy furni-
ture, the nice things, how bad it is,
how glad they are. how sorry they are.

and hate has been manifested at this.

and the exposure of the family idols.
The poor woman is there herself,
telling how much she paid for this or
for that and what shame it is to sell
these nice. things at such great loss.

When it is ended the woman finds
that articles of household virtu which

Coming.

Judge Andrews, of Georgia, used to
tell an amusing story of the way in
which he was once "taken down" by
one of his audience during a political
address. He was a candidate for gov
ernor of his state and was explaining
to the crowd of people that had as
sembled to hear him how his friends
had pressed him to be candidate, and
that the office was seeking him; he was
not seeking the Office. In fact" he
exclaimed, 1.-The office of governor has
been following me for the last ten
years." At this point tall country
man to the rear of the audience rose,

quite correct, in spite of the mirth it
provoked at the time of its utterance.

A VICEROYS TRICK.
The Willy Turk Plays Prank on De
Lcsseps.

Lesseps.
Oriental rulers, even those who have
great qualities, are in many respects
like children. A striking instance is
found in story which M. de Lesseps
used to be fond of relating about his
friend, the viceroy of Egypt The
viceroy had taken a great fancy to the
big and happy Frencnman. He loaded
him with attentions and gifts, and
finally proposed to go with him to visit
the Suez canal, on which NJ. de Lesseps
was then engaged.
Before starting, the viceroy made NJ
de Lesseps present of a beautiful
Sevres dinner service, exactly like one
that he himself carried. AT the end of
few days travel across the desert,
several pieces of the viceroy's service
were broken and others were clipped,
while the Frenchman's set was quite
intact.
How in the world do you manage
to preserve all your cups?" asked his
highness.
NJ de Lesseps put on proud air.
ut is easy enough be said II take
care of them myself. Nobody else
touches them"
The two men were about setting out
for another days march when the
viceroy said
"Lesseps, they tell me that the drom.
edary that carries your baggage is
pretty well knocked up. have given
orders to have stronger one provided. s"
True enough, superb animal of ma.
jestic height was brought, and on it
was placed the Frenchman's baggage,
including the precious service. But
alas! the dromedary was wild beast,
and no sooner felt the load on his back
than he began to kick and run. Of
tumbled his load, and cups, saucers
and sugar-bowls lay broken on the
ground.
The Frenchman was almost ready to
weep, while the viceroy was doubled
up with laughter.
Nobody touches them but yourself,
Lesseps?" he managed to say. INC
matter! no matter! | will lend you
my broken ones!"-Youth's Companion.

The Jury Waited for Death.

Valdosta. Ca, Jan. ia negro was
killed on the Georgia Southern and Flor
ida railroad last night at exactly the same
place where a similar accident occurred
week ago. 1t is supposed that he was
a negro tramp beating his way over the
road by riding on the trucks. The acct
dent occurred at the tank about two
miles above the depot The coroner's jury
failed TO identify him and he was buried
in the pauper cemetery. His body was
horribly mangled.
An interesting event Of the accident
last week by which a negro was killed at
the same place, is in the fact that some
one who was near where the accident oc-
Cured rushed to the city for the coroner
who impaneled a jury and went to the
scene, The negro was alive when they
reached there, but was breathing slowly
1T is said that the jury sat about on the
crossties for nearly half a day waiting for
breath to leave the body As soon as he
was dead, they began to deliberate and in
few minutes they gave out a verdict
that had probably been reached several
hours before death claimed its victim.
