to appear perfectly we'll dressed and
with tho ease that always comes with
the consciousness of being we'll dressed
at any of the numerous social func-
tions of the winter.
No. l, In the double column illus.
tration, is n charming bodice adapt
able also for demi-toi]lette or full
evening dress. 1t is composed of soft
green silk draped around the figure SO
as not to reveal the seams. The yoke
and under sleeves are of bright cycla-
men pink velvet outlined back and
front by Bruges lace, the color of old
ivory. 1t is peppered with tiny Jet
beads and is draped very effectively in
n cascade at the right side, ending in
bow and single scarf end. The yoke
and sleeves of velvet may be removed
at pleasure, and the visiting costume
be thus instantly transformed into
concert dress or dinner gown. The
fully pulled upper sleeves are of green
silk adorned with lace. A chiffon yoke
and under sleeves of yellow might also
be used with artistic results. This
bodice could be appropriately worn
with q black, green, or cyclamen
pink skirt.
No. Q is distinctively an evening
bodice, but an economical genius can
adapt it easily to afternoon require
ments if occasion requires. It is
white duchesse satin. The insertions
of white lace that trim the corsage in
diagonally laid bands are brought out
In pretty relief by the pale green silk
over which the insertions are made.
The decolletage is finished with an ex.
quisite berthe of tulle and lace. A
most artistic touch of color is given
to these pale tints by the clusters of
velvet dahlias toned from pale pink to
deepest purple-which decorate the
corsage. A neckband of velvet, tint
of the dahlias which ornament it on
either side, is pretty adjunct of this
bodice.

How Emln Pasha WAS K!IIcd.

Lieutenant Mohun, the United
States Consul on the Congo, has for.
warded the first reliable account OIL
the murder OF Emin Pasha. Ho say!
that Emin, on his last expedition, had
intended to go to the Congo State. and
had crossed the Congo for the pur.
pose. Ho announced his arrival tc
Kibouge, the Sultan of Kirundu, and
asked his permission to proceed
through his territory. Kibourge sent
q letter to Emin granting his request,
but ut the same time forwarded let.
ter to Said, ono of his vassals, com.
manding him to kill Emin. Said de.
tailed four men to carry out the SEN
tence, and they hurried to tho explor.
er's camp and found him sitting in his
tent. They coolly read to him the
letter sealing his fate. Emin replied
that his death would be terribly
avenged by the white men, and warned
them not to kill him, but they paid
no attention to him. One of them
seized his arms, another, his head and
third his legs, while the fourth beat
out his brains. Emin's people were
scattered about tho village ut the time
and knew nothing of the murder, Sc
the murderers escaped. They were
afterward arrested, tried by court mar.
tial, convicted and hanged. 1t is
said that Emin had been warned OF
the maleyolence of the Arabs, and ex.
pected sooner or latter that they
would kill him, but he paid no atten.
tion to the warnings, and went on,
perhaps, intentionally and willingly
to his death. -Picayune.

The great wealth, either of the Nor.
mon Church or of the individuals at
its hend, has been again demonstrated
by the recent investment of $4,000
600 by the "frst presidency" in new
corporation called the Utah Company.
This new company is to operate coal
mines, o railroad, bathing beach and
pleasure resort at the Great Salt Lake,
and build. equip and operate tele-
graph and telephone lines. This is
purely church scheme in which gen.
tiles have no part, and is, like the

managed to add to the wealth of the

A COUNTRY MAID.


Her eyes tho sun-klssed vlolets mate,
And fearless is thor gaze;
She moves with graceful, careless gait
Along the country ways.
Tho roses blushing In her check
That meier decade nor fade,
Her laughter gay, her words bespoak.
A simple country maid.
No flashing gems adorn her hair,
Nor clasp her lily neck,
No jeweled clrclets. rich and rare,
Her suu-browned hands bedeok,
But penrly teeth through lips MS rel
AS reddest rubies glenn;
The tresses DER her shoulders sproal :
A golden mantle seem.
Hcr looks are kind, and sweet the smilo
That sparkles In her eyes;
Her mind, her heart are FREQ from gullo |;
She Is not learned or wise.
No worldly art, no craft has sho
Acquired her charms to aid;
And yet she stole my heart from me,
This simple country mail.
