 New veilings show some changes of style. Borders are not so wide or as heavy as they used to be. tiny edge of fulled thread lace in either black or white is the best taste or a worked edge in scroll pattern. For faulty complexion there is veil of fine net strewn with large leaf-like patterns. This is conspicuous but less unpleas- antly so than a bad skin. For the deli cate skin there is c1oud-like net fine of texture and with a dainty crispness that prevents the formation of folds, and so really spreads a soft cloud in front of the face. Brussels net is al- ways fashionable and becoming. The very coarse and heavy net is better suited to the complexion of strong tint.

4 SpLENnLn RnnK-

One of the most notable and signifl- cant presents received by the Empress Dowager of China on her sixtieth birth day was sent by the Christian women of her empire. It was a royal quartc copy of the New Testament. The book was printed at the Presbyterian mission press in Shanghai during the summer and finished October 29. It is royal quarto size, 10x13x2 inches, is printed on the finest paper procurable, and in the largest size of movable metallic type. The border around the page is in gold. It is beyond question the finest work ever turned out by any press in China. The printing alone cost over $275. The book is elegantly bound in solid silver boards made in Canton. The ornamentation is bamboo and birds in relief, and the workman ship Is exquisite. The name of the book, Complete New Testament" is in large characters of solid gold, riveted tO IlS CONSI' OIl lllG CeLIeF OL luS cover is a gold plate. on which is the inscription, Classic of Salvation for the World" The back is old-gold plush. The book was enclosed in a solid silver casket, similar in design to the covers of the book, and lined with plush. The casket rested in a  plush-covered box, and this in teak wood case. The Chinese say that the bamboo is an emblem of peace, the birds are messengers; the design, therefore, conveys to the empress dow ager a Message of Peace" from her Christian subjects. The casket. which is 15Ax121s41k inches. contains 1O1A pounds of silver; covers of the book, AZ pounds. The entire cost of the book and casket was not much under s, 200.
 Perhaps the Empress New Testa- ment will not do her any more good than a ten-cent copy would, but it will look very well on her centre-table. And it may possibly get dusted occa- sionally

 The democrats of the United States will not celebrate the Sth of January of the year 1895 with a great deal of cheer fitness, or even with great deal of universality. The look ahead has, it must be confessed, little in 1t to ex- hilarate the boys in the trenches, A few crumbs of comfort still remain to them, 1t is true; but the prospect is as cheerless as the weather. The ma terial conditions too, are equally omin- ous with the political perspective. We have the bag to hold; and the bag is empty. To be sure, times may mend and luck may change; the old enemy of democracy will have to face his por- tion of responsibility and, in the melo- drama of American politics, no man can tell what year may bring forth. Still, at this moment the skies are not very bright

 gling.
 [From the Washington Postl
 Mr. Juan S. Hart, editor of the Fl Paso, Tex, Times, has been delegated by the people of his city to come to Washington to advocate the impor- tance of an international dam across the Rio Grade in the vicinity of Fl Paso Regarding the subject MT. Hart had this to say:
 "A dam across the Rio Grande will be of immense benefit to citizens of both the United States and Mexico. That country stands ready to join us at any time, and will cheerfully pay half the cost of construction, which will be in excess of $1,OOO,OOO owing from the fact that so much water is taken from the river north of the Texas boundary for irrigation purposes, it has dwindled to a very shallow stream all along the Texas frontier, with not enough water in 1t to float skiff ten months in the year.
 ''The dam is needed to create a res ervoir for storing the flood rains so that the people on both banks below 1t can get all the water they need for farming the adjacent lands AgainJ it will be useful in maintaining perma nent boundary line between the two re- publics, for under present conditions man may be am inhabitant of Mexico one month and of Texas the next, for the flood rains shift the territory around so by continuously changing channels that itiis hard for the people along the river to tell their citizenship. ' "AlIalong the Mexican side of the Rio Grande is a strip of country thirty miles wide, known as the zone fibre or free zone, into which goods from for eign countries are admitted practically free of duty. This free trade belt seri- ously cripples merchants on the Ameri- can side Of the stream, for it makes smuggling one of the easiest affairs of the world. A great deal of 1t is done, too, for it's no job to cross the dry bed of a river with a load of smuggled goods, Any Mexican peon can be hired to do the act, and there isn't much risk in it. With the construction of a dam smuggling would soon be on the wane. It's building has been recom- mended by eminent engineers of both nations"

Grade Crossings.
LTrom the Now York World.


 The state of Connecticut has law against grade crossings of electric rail- ways with steam roads. But by a technical construction of some charters the courts hold that certain protected trolley lines are authorized to run their tracks at grade across those of the great railroad lines. The legislature has been appealed to, and the lower house, by the overwhelming vote of 1S0 to 12, recently passed a bill eremp- torily forbidding all grade crossings. The measure was lost, apparently, by accident in the senate, but it is to come up again tomorrow and there is hope that 1t will become a law. It is a meas ure to protect human life. The opposi- tion of the trolley companies to it's passage is that of a reckless greed which does not want to make any avoid able expenditure for so indifferent purpose

According to the British Medical Journal, the rearing of fowls in Tunis, Italy, has been almost abandoned, ow- ing to the enormous mortality caused by a disease characterized in the forma- ton of false membranes in the throat. Among persons attending to fowls in Tunis a large number of cases present. ing symptoms of diphtheria occur. Loir and Ducloux have made bacteriolog- ical examination of six such cases, and in one, child suffering from severe an- gina, with false membranes, which were neither very thick nor very ad- herent they found the bacillus which they had observed in fowls The child resided on farm where the fowls had been suffering from diphtheria for six months.

At an American smelting works mech anicaI means are being taken to collect the suspended matter from the gases. This is done by a horizontal fiue about 300 yards in length, through which the gases are drawn by means of fans After passing through the fire the gases are passed under pressure into filter ing chamber having about ten thousand square yards of Altering material ex- posed.

QUAINT HALL SETTLES.

Old-Fashioned Pieces of Furniture In Mod.
ern Guise.
The old-fashioned hall settle, which
has been taken in favor, has undergone
of late considerable change. In its
first form it was ponderous, carved,
semigothic piece of furniture found
chiefly in black oak, and of somewhat
too baronial dimensions to fit into the
everyday life of the average hall. The
newest settles are somewhat smaller
affairs. They are not larger than the
ordinary table-settle of our kitchens,
which continues to be an ironing table,
and which turned back against the
wall, forms the back of convenient
seat. Some of these high-back settles
are painted in white enamel. The
back and seats are upholstered in Nor
ris tapestries in indigo blue or russet
browns, and they are exceedingly pic
turesaue These convenient settles
are useful in the hall or on the summer
piazza, which can hardly have too
many seats, if it is as ample as it ought
to be.
Almost any village carpenter can
make tnlS De0cn WIN lIS btEdlplt UdCk.
| To be comfortable the seat ought to
| be deep Where the woodwork is too
rude for enameling, it may be COM
pletely covered up with tapestry or up
holstered all over. The Society of As.
sociated Artists have recently been
making settles covered in this way
with their beautiful green cotton ar
ras, which is SO cool and picturesque
looking.
Some of these settles are of very
large size, with the straight back and
arms and ample seat; and they are bal
anced below. Carved settles are con-
siderably smaller than they were.
They are generally made of ebonized
wood or oak, and the straight back is
carved by decorative artists in va.
riety of patterns suggestive OF me-
diBval designs. Sea green velyeteens
and delft blue tapestries are favorite
materials for the cushion of the seat -
