FOLLIES OF FASHION.

Crepon grenadine is by all odds the
handsomest and the most expensive
! material offered.
a large number OF new jackets and
coats display bishop sleeves and very
large reYerS.
A suitable wrap TO wear with mourn
ing costume is d short, full cape in
dull btack corded silk.
Black Henrietta cloth and English
crepe are combined in a dress, in
tended for first mourning wear.
There are indications that the Louis
XIV. style Of dress will exceed the first
empire in fashionable favor.
Most of the new capes are single,
the double and triple capes being for
the moment Telegated to the back
ground.
A new color is announced called
"Pharaoh." 1t is a yelloWish shade Of
red and will be much used in spring
millinery.
Very effective capes are made OF a
bright-colored cloth, with an applique
of black cloth upon it traced with
jet beads.
Colored piques are now preferred to
white, and the newest designs are in
checks-a color alternating with cream
OF white.
English embroidered nainsoOks in
cream tints, wrought with yellow or
butter color, are especially pretty for
thin dresses.
a very pretty organdie has a white
ground with a raised stripe Of white
and is powdered with cunnig little
chrysanthemums.
Large hats are still growing in size
and the fashionable bonnet appears
as ii undecided whether to remain on
the head or not.

A fire at Jersey City, \. j., destroyed
the imperial varnish factory, Emil
Schlesher's decoration factory and 81
mon Bros silk cord factory, together
with six small dwellings. The loss is
$4,000, partly covered by insurance.
Seventeen families were rendered
homeless.
Moses Yeaton. of West Brooklyn,
will have to answer charge of send
ing a libellOus letter to Miss Fryatt,
the alleged offence being that he wrote
on an envelope that she was "a bache-
lOr maid" and that he as a married
man could not receive a note from her.
From brooding over the thought that
he was unworthy Of the love borne him
by his promised bride, George E. War
son. of San Francisco. came to the de
termination to end the possibility OF a
union between himself and his sweet
heart. He made good this determina-
ton by shooting himself through the
head.

1t is probable that the agricultural

than saving wood or moving the

STRONGEST PERSONALITY SINCE
NAPOLEON.

Prince Bismarck is one Of the, mOnu-
mental figures of the nineteenth CEN
tury. 1t is scarcely too much to say
that only Napoleon played a greater
part Except Frederick, he is the most
noble individuality in the history Of
Prussia Going back to 1861, when he
first became the counsellor Of the
king, compare his accomplishment in
Prussia with that Of the other peoples
Of Europe. Russia has increased only
in Asia; Austria has fallen from her
high estate; Italy. though united, has
come to the very verg If bankruptcy;
Spain remains of no political value;
France is rich and powerful, but has
been shorn of territory and honor;
England barely holds her own by her
insular position, her wealth and her
colonies Of all the countries, Ger
many is the only one which has mark
eddy gained. Prussia in 1861 was a
power of questionable strength even
within TeutOnic territory; today she
holds the hegemOny of all Germany
far and away the most puissant of all
the powers of the earth; and it is
solely to the strength. wisdom, pa
thence. sagacity, and courage Of Otto
Won Bismarck that this is due. Gener-
atoms TO come will point to him as the

HOW TO WALK.
The Proper Length of a Step Twice
the Length of the Foot.

\ DelSarte teacher who is peculiar in
knowing something of Delsarte's syS-
tenn of expression, says that women
can improve their walk without a
teacher, though they can't learn about
walkingfro m print.
The proper length of the step is twice
the length of one foot, and it is meas
ured from the hollow Of one foot to
the hollow Of the other. Now, take
a piece Of tape and sew on it bits Of
flannel at intervals twice the length of
one of your feet stretch it across the
longest room you have at your dis
posal and you are ready for practice.
Maybe you don't know that each
foot should cross the same line with
each successive step? 1t shOuld-that
is very important, so now you must
walk your tape and set one foot and
then the other right over those bits Of
flannel, letting the flannel come just
under the inStep. Do this and turn
your toes out very well, and swing
your leg from the thigh, and you are
far on the road to Il beautiful walk.
