 Another revival brings into view on feminine shoulders scarf fichus of the sort this picture presents. Topped by a youthful face, this accessory of the elderly produces a quaint effect that ifs just now deemed extremely deslra- ble. That shown here is of blue and gold shot silk edged with a pinked ruffle of the same, and is round in back. It's ends are tucked in front into a high black satin belt finished with a big bow. Glace taffeta striped in blue and gold Is the fabric of the dress be- heath, its blouse waist fastening at the left side and having a high stock col- lar ornamented with two fancy but tons. Five tiny frills of black taffeta trim the hem of the godet skirt.
 Very pretty blouse-front waists are made of scrim, which material comes in the popular ivory linen color and has a crispness that adapts itself nicely to the present fashions. It isn't inexpen- sive, but it lasts better than regular dress goods at the same price.

 Or you will see ambassadors and men of title from the Jockey club jostling cockney book-makers and English lords to look at a little girl in Q linen blouse and d flat straw hat, who is dancing in the same circle of shining shirt fronts vis-a-vis to the most-talked-of young | person in Paris, who wears diamonds In ropes, and who rode herself into notori- ety by winning steeple-chase against field of French officers. The first | is Q hired dancer, who will kick off some gentlemdn's hat when she wants it, and pass 1t around for money, and | the other Is the companion of princes, and has probably never been permitted to enter the Jardin de Paris before; but they are both of the same class, and when the music stops for a moment they approach each other smiling, each on her guard against possible condes- tension or familiarity; and the hired dancer, who is as famous in heE way as the young girl with the ropes of dia- monds is in hers, compliments madame on her dancing, and madame calls the other madenoiselle," /" and says, How very wRrm it is" and the circle of men around them, who are leaning on each others shoulders and standing on benches and tables to look, smile de- lightedly at the spectacle.

 But the climax of the night was reached last year when the band of a hundred pieces struck buoyantly into that most reckless and impudent of marches and songs, "The Man That Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo" The cymbals clashed, and the brass blared out boastfully with confidence and swagger that showed how sure the mu- sicians were of pleasing that particular audience with that particular tune. And they were not disappointed The three thousand men and women hailed the first bars of the song with yell of recognition, and then dancing and strutting to the rhythm of the tune, and singing. and shouting 1t in French and English, they raised their voices in such chorus that they could be

rRE KENruoKY IpEA.

Not many moons ago Kentucky was looked upon as a free-silver stronghold. It was felt that there, if anywhere in the South, the great cause of free silver
 was safe But there has been a change, and it is now plain that Kentucky is sound on the great question Of the day in this country. The change has been
 brought about largely by the influence
 of Secretary Carlisle and the Louisville Courier-Journal. How great the change has been is indicated by the fact that
 the majority report of the committee
 on resolutions was adopted by vote of 644 to 23S, a majority of nearly three
 to one on the sound money side. The resolutions which found indorsement in this overwhelming fashion affirm, with out qualification, the principles and policies declared by the national Demo- cratic platform of 1892. declare that the present administration ''is entitled to the thanks of the party for it's hon eols 1Ou1d5GOun anu Sldbcp1AleAl1AAhS AAAclI- agement of public affairs" and express "undiminished confidence in the Democ- racy and patriotism of President Grover Cleveland and his distinguished secre- tary, John c. Carlisle"
 Although the candidate for governor Is man who has advocated free coin age his nomination is of no significance in that direction. He owes his victory to the support of many who like him personally better than his rival. and who were ready to humor the silverites by giving them a place whose incum- bent has nothing to do with the coinage question when they had won their vic tory for the national office of United States Senator. They could afford to be generous. The whole affair is very encouraging, and shows the wisdom of the course taken by the President of the United States, when he showed his party what 1t ought to do about silver and boldly and honestly led the wav

 In short, Frau Seuron thinks and says that Tolstoi is a humbug. Perhaps he is in some respects. And perhaps he is not in others. Many great men could not stand such scrutiny as appears to have been made of Tolstoi by the Ger man governess. It is a good deal of a chore. as New Englanders say, to be great even a part of the time and in any way.

4 orntouS AFFIRMATION.

It has been said that no man is great
 to his valet, and it may hereafter be
 said that no man is great to the gov erness of his children. The reason this
 may be said is that a German governess who was employed in the family of
 Count Tolstoi. the celebrated Russian
 writer, has made some remarks which Indicate that Brother Tolstoi is not what
 he has been cracked up to be. The
 general idea of him is that he is a man
 who is so great that he lives in the most
 simple way, and lives not for himself,
 but for others. He breaches well, and 1t has been supposed that his preaching
 was based on his practice. But Frau
 Seuron makes him out to be very much
 Ike some other people who have not the
 reputation that he has. She says that
 he Is mo anchorite. convinced of the
 notIhingness of the world, who has con-
 quered himself and has turned his back
 on it in disdain, but man who has car ried his vanity over into the new life" which he has fashioned after his own pattern. When he finds that his sins and his principles cannot be reconciled by any amount of discussion. he turns a somersault from his point of view, withdraws to his study, and begins, with all the more zeal, to set down in writing his laudations of the elementary principles of life which he has just out ragged. After firmly refusing for more than year, to touch meat, he allowed his family to persuade him to eat poul- try, though he maintained that he in- tended to adhere to his rules. But the attentive observer would hear the clat- ter of knife and fork in the dining room during the night, and the next morning the cold roast beef, which had been left on the table, would be found half de- voured ToIstoi never confessed to his sin of weak indulgence, but Frau Seu- ron declares that she is sure of her facts. He also indulged surreptitiously in a smoke, after preaching against it. She concludes that, while the count might be a temporary fanatic for abnegation, he was not built for a saint.
 But the worst charge which the Ger man governess brings against the great Russian reformer is that he loves his dear peasants more theoretically than His pockets were kept lightly buttoned she says, even when a ] few kopecks would have afforded relief from distress. She relates how when the peasants of his village, Yasnaya Polyana, had but three spades among them and lacked all the implements | to cultivate the land, he re- | used to help them to buy the necessary tools. He said that precisely this lack | of implements made them lend to each l lther and that was an act of helpful, l 1rotherly love" ''When the count, who | vas constantly talking and writing lbout brotherly love, talked with a beg sing peasant the despot of the sixteenth century awoke in him.

The dowager empress of China has had a very romantic history. She was the child of poor parents fn the suburbs of Canton, and renarka ble for her beau ty. At time when her parents did not know whence their daily bread was to come, she suggested that they sell her as a slave. This course was followed, and she became the property of a fa- nous general. He was so enchanted with her beauty that he adopted her. When the general next went to Picking, 50 says a correspondent, the general offered his beautiful daughter to the em- peror, and thereby won great favor. The young girl so charmed His Majesty by her looks and intelligence that he soon made her his wife. When the em- peror died, the former slave became re- gent of the empire. and administered the national affairs better than almost any of her predecessors. She is consid- cred one of the great women of her time.

Nebraska farmers have just been de prived of one of their sources of revenue. Formerly they could bring suits against railroad companies for violations of the law requiring locomotive engineers to sound the whistle at highway crossings. The law gave half of the fine of $50 to the informer, and thrifty ones living near the railroads have made a good deal of money by watching the trains and making up cases against the un- wary engineers. It has been their habit to let the cases accumulate, and one farmer secured a judgment at one time against the Omaha and Republican branch of the Union Pacific for 700 eases, amounting to $S,5OO.

STORIES OF MAINE WOODS AND WATERS.
FIGHT WITH A MOOSE. THE FISH
LIAR ABROAD.
A large moose was brought to Rumford
Falls Oct. 22nd, and taken to Auburn by
Mr.. Stephen S. Merrill & Son, and Mr..
Stevens, who had been hunting in Ando-
yer for few days. Mr.. George Thomas
Of Andover, who was acting as guide for
the party, shot the bull moose about one
and a quarter mile from the depot camp.
The party went to the south arm Of the
Richardson Lake Thursday, and Mr..
Thomas was to join the party the next
day. He got a ride as far as the Lake
road and decided to walk in, keeping
through the woods away from the Lake
road. After travelling about six miles he
suddenly came upon the moose living
down, and at almost one bound the moose
came upon him. He happened to be near
large birch tree. Around and around
this tree ran both man and moose. 1t
took three shots to kill him, one cutting
large vein Off He had fine set of
horns and weighed about seventy pounds.
Speaking of the fellows who get moth
ing recalls the case Of the young man
from the Bay State, who evidently intend
ed to shoot everything he came across.
He was at one of the Moosehead hotels a
few weeks ago and saw in the office the
stuffed head of moose
''What is that animal?" inquired the
young man from the Athens of America.
''That?" replied bystander, ''why
that's moose
s'Oh, indeed. Well, must get half q
dozen of those big fellows said tile
stranger, and then he wondered why the
group Of men sitting near him all glanced
in his direction. He has probably learn
ed by this time that it is not very easy to
violate the Law which allows sportsman
to shoot but one moose in a season. In
tact it is very likely that he las not been
able to get the one which the law allows;
but with good guide, even the novice
this year should have little difficulty ia
picking off his deer.
