Millions in Silver Coin.

The Imperial Russian Mint OF st.
Petersburg, and the ateliers Of the
Hotel des Monuaies, as the Paris Mint
is called, are both busy just now with
huge task of turning gold and silver
bullion into coins stamped with the
efligy of the new Gar Nichoias II.
The total value represented by this
issue of coin will be over $3.50, 000,-
600. The gold coins OF this vast sum
are being struck at st. Petersburg,
but the contract for minting the great
quantity of silver pieces of small
denominations has fallen to France.
This is the first commission of the sort
that France has received from the
Russian Government since 1862. The
metal which serves fer the fabrication
of these new silver pieces comes from
the United States.
The greatest number of COINS struck
will be of the denomination of one
ruble, of about eighty cents value.
Upon its face Is the profile of the
Czar, surrounded by the words in
Russian characters which mean "By
the grace of God, Nicholas H., EN-
peror and Autocrat of all the Rus
slams" Upon the reverse are stamped
the imperial arms, the value, and year
of coinage.
The workshops of the Hotel des
Monnaies, where these coins are being
struck, are SO finely equipped for their
purpose that, aside from the money of
France, they are kept busy continually
executing orders from other countries.
Each OF the six furnaces in which the
silver is melted is capable of contain
ing from 1900 to 2250 pounds of metal.
The machines for stamping the CONS
are remarkably ingenious pieces of
mechanism, sixty pieces of money
being struck by each of them per
minute.

Burial Alive.

A commission of physicians is form
ing at Turin in Italy for the purpose
OF investigating the subject of qppar-
ent death. Owing to tue small delay
necessary between death and burial in
that country the subject is of great
importance. The signs of apparent
death have undoubtedly led to the in
terment of many persons still living.
Turin furnished a remarkable in
stance of the danger. A physician of
that city, who had done admirable
service all through the epidemic OF
1884, fell at last a victim to the mala-
dy, was certified as dead, and was al
ready laid out in his winding sheet,
while his family, in an adjoining
room, were awaiting the arrival of the
undertaken. Suddenly they heard a
faint sound at the door, which was
then feebly opened and there they saw
the physician himself, who half an
hour later might have been hermeti.
cally sealed in his coffin. supporting
himself against the door post and up
braiding them in voice scarcely au-
dible for having neglected him so long.
The panic stricken family had him Mt
once replaced in bed, and, with the
best aid that could be got, endeavored
to resuscitate him, but IN vain. He
died shortly after from cardiac failure.

USE OF YELLOW.

Yellow in evening toilets of diaphan-
GUS nature and yellow in simple day
gowns is rival to mauve and golden
green this season. Some of the hand
some white mohair costumes for dress
occasions have yellow silk facings on
the coat, and the skirt is lined with
yellow taffeta silk. White etamines,
grenadines and transparent grass
linens are most effective made up over
yellow satin, with low-cut under. bodice
and sleeve puffs of the satin draped
with the airy fabric. Swiss and India
mulls over yellow taffeta, batiste or
surah have handsome yellow satin rib
bon trimmings on the shoulders and
at the belt. These are for youthful
wearers, and the gowns are designed
for dress wear accompanied by leghorn
hats trimmed with black or green vel
vet ribbon, white tulle plating and
yellow roses and mignonette sprays.
Plaid ribbons in new color and com.
binations and of great width are being
used by Paris milliners on leghorn

~im MODEL LINEN CLOSET.

Every housewife knows the comfort
OF having a cupboard set aside for the
sole use OF the house linen. 1t should
be her pride to see that everything
contained in this cupboard is neatly
arranged on the shelves, aud where, at
any moment, she will be able TO lay
her hands on any separate article. To
attain this she must herself arrange
the linen on the shelves, and must not
allow any one else, who is likely to
disnrrange it, to go to the cupboard.
Let me, then, show you which is the
best method of arranging the linen
cupboard. l will take an imaginary
cupboard, which has four shelves. On
the first shelf should be placed all the
bed linen, sheets, pillow cases, ETC.,
in different pilos. On the second shelf
all the bed furniture, curtains, etc. I;
on the third shelf all the table linen,
together with any toilet mats. doylies,
ETC., and lastly, on the fourth shelf,
should be placed towels, kitchen
linen and the various oddments which
are a necessary adjunct to make up n
complete set of house linen. Like all
cupboarls, the linen chest requires
frequent overhauling, for the tiresome
servlettes, tea cloths, etc., will wear
ont and want replenishing. In most
cases it is wise plan to replace each
article as it wears, and in this way you
will always have the full set of linen
and will not suddenly find that you
have not sufficient table napkins to 90
round. New York Advertiser.

WAGES oF WAITER GIRLS.

their meals for working eight hours
day, 81 for half time, five hours, and

previous experience is required, and
there is a great deal of competition for
that reason. The "tip" is almost un-

FASHION NOTES.

Maltese lace is again in vogue.
To wear gray is said to act as a seda.
tive to the nerves.
Some golden straw hats are designed
for early autumn wear.
Navy-blue leather shoes are worn
with white yachting costumes.
The average masculine stands Just
little in awe of the real tailor-made
girl. He likes the fluffy kind better.
If you have a last summers wash
silk gown cover it with organdy and
you have the latest idea in costuming.
Souvenir doylies, embroidered or
painted with the monogram of the
hostess, are carried away from dove
luncheons.
Soon there will no such thing in the
market as a stiffiy lined skirt. Soft
Innings and plain, flowing, narrow
gowns will be the fad par excellence.
Soft-tinted serge gowns with ac-
cordion-plaited rufiles are high fav.
orites among fashionable bathers.
Stockings striped or embroidered are
worn to match the suits.
Soft, fluffy pompadours and a re-
vival Of the old-fashioned chatelaine
braids, preserving as broad and as fiat
an effort as possible, are quite the
reigning fashionable style of hair
dressing.
Skirts of one material and bodices
of another will continue in fashion all
winter, possibly chiefly because OF
their great convenience. Added to
this, however, they are an extremely
attractive combination.
Empire fans are still the most fash
ionable, even when tho night is
stihing. Devotees of fashion main
tain that they give quite as mach air
as larger ones and have much more
prestige than feather fans.
The plain skirt is no longer de rig
uerer. Ruches and flowers of two
colors, either laid one over the other
or gathered together, are universally
used, particularly in thin materials
Skirt panels are also once more il
fashion.

A Monster Pie.

DENNY Dale has eaten its big Corn
Law Repeal pie. 1t contained 1920
pounds of beef, $50 pounds of veal,
112 of mutton and sixty of lamb; the
crust was made of 1920 pounds of
-four and 100 of lard. The dish was
ten feet long by six and half wide
and one foot deep. Dish and pie
weighed thirty-fve hundred weight
and cost Sl250. The pie was drawn in
procession by sixteen horses from the
oven to the place where it was cut up.
1t was preceded by an eighty-year' old
corn law agitator, who was accom-
panied by his two grandsons, one
dressed in rags carrying a banner with
the wordi, "Flour four shillings a
stone, 1876" the other in good clothes,
bearing a banner inscribed, "Flour

A Portraits Eyes.

Waliaston's curious discovery was
that by adding to each pair of eyes
nose directed to the right or the left
the eyes lose their front direction,
and look to the right or left, accord
ing to the direction OF the nose. BY
means of a flap representing the lower
features i'll different position, as DIR.
Wallaston remarks, ga lost look OF
devout abstraction in an uplifted
countenance may be exchanged for an
appearance of inquisitive archness in
the leer of younger face turned
downward and obliquely toward the
opposite side"
AS by changing the direction of the
lower features we change the direction
of the eyes, SO by changing our posi-
tion the eyes of the portrait apparent
lyi follow us. If verticle line be
drawn through the tip of the nose and
half way between the eyes there will
be the same breadth OF head, of cheek,
of chin, and of neck on each side of
this middle line, and each iris will be
in the middle of the whole eye. If
we now move to one side, the appar-
ent horizontal breadth of every part
of the head and face will be dimin-
ished, but the parts on each side of
the middle line will be diminished
equally, and at any position, however
oblique, there will be the same breadth
of face on each side OF the middle
line, and the iris will be in the center
of the whole of the eyeball, so that,
being on a fiat surface, the iris will be
seen in front of the picture or oblique-

DRESSING FOR DINNER.

Do you dress for dinner? or do you
consider that practice incompatible
with sterling merit and democratio
spirit? Have you regarded it as a
habit to be left exclusively to those
who have nothing better to do than to
exhibit different sets of garments at
different hours of the cay? If so,
disabuse your mind at once of these
views. Dressing for dinner is GUS
tom to be commended from every
point of view, including the economic
and hygienic.
1t is economic to wear semi-even-
ing gown at dinner, for the street
gown, which costs twice as much as
the house gown, lasts twice as long
with iudicious changes. 1t is hygienic,
because there is actual bodily refresh
ment in soap, water, fresh linen and q
fresh gown after the toll and turmoil
of the day, and there is also the less
easily defined but equally potent in
duence of pretty clothes upon the
mind, and hence upon the health of
the wearer.-New York Advertiser.
