sENoR1TA AND HER MANT11LA,

y It is source of the greatest regret
on the part of everyone who visits
Mexico that the senorita has so gen.
orally laid aside her graceful lace man
tilla, and adopted Paris millinery in
its stead. The charm Of Spanish
face has so long been enhanced by the
mantilla, and lace is such fascinating
feature of Spanish art, that it is with
sincere Disappointment travellers note

in New York. 1t matters not how

to adjust the mantilla with the native

from the States brings one home with
her, but there is no type in the North
that can wear the mantiila as if to the

may still be seen in Mexico. Every

HIGH Sppcd EXPRESS Trains.

An attempt hos been made IN eng
land, says the Pittsburg Dispatch, to
reduce the high rate OF travel of ex-
rress trains under the plea of lessen
ing the number OF railway accidents,
The Board Of Trade returns show.
however, that while a speed of sixty
to seventy miles an hour is maintained
daily by many trains, mishaps are rare
comparatively, and, moreover, it is
proved that with a steady increase OF
speed and more numerous trains the
safety of the average passenger has be-
come far greater. Another popular
misconception WAS aleo corrected. 1t
is generally believed that the high
speed Of express trains unnerves the
drivers of the locomotives and brings
on various maladies. besides rendering
them unfit for the strain of tho work
after comparatively short term OF
service.
This view is not supported by facts.
One OF the best locomotive drivers in
England has been at the throttle over
fifty years, and can be trusted any day
with the fastest train in the country.
Sir Henry Oakley, the General Mana
ger of the Great Northern Railway, on
which probably higher average rate
of speed is maintained than on any
other English railway, says that of
sixty men whv were driving express
trains regularly in 1886, forty-three
are still at their posts. OF the rest
only five have died, all from acute dis.
eases, one being killed by an accident,
the others having retired. II is doubt
full whether better prospects are en-
joyed by sixty men Of the same age
engaged in any other responsible &C.
cupation. 1t is further stated that no
confirmation can be obtained of the
view that travellers suffer from vibra-
tion caused by high speed.

A New Cloth.

The United States Consul at Havre
recently sent home some samples OF
new textile fabrics, which were exhib.
tied at the State Department in Wash
ington. They were woven from the
fibers of peat, which, as they proved,
can be bleached to whiteness and will
then take any dye. These fabrics are
said to be especially advantageous
from the fact that they have antiseptic
qualities which will prevent them from
harboring disease germs.-Science

QUAINT COIFFURE REVIVED.

Prepare to pile your hair high on
top OF your head as a fitting accom-
paniment to the revival OF trailing
gowns, says tho New York Journal.
The easy and almost universally be-
coming fashion Of u low, loose figure
IS" will be permitted for house wear,
and for those numberless undressed
occasion3 cherished by all women who
love comfort better than dinners and
balls. But for full dress occasions,
for dinners and receptions, for elbow
sleeves and low necked waists, dignl-
fed mountains OF high piled locks are
to prevail. This mode of dressing tho
hair has it's advantages. The woman
who INDUCES in 1t may raise her IN
ches by at least one. 1t is the mode
best fitted to carry buckles and al
grettes, feathers and bows, flowers
and pins. 1t will appeal to many OF
the fair sex, while there will still be
many Others who will cling to their
own pet fashion though all the world
oppose it.
Styles have come, and styles have
gone, and it is fact worth recording
q fact that may bring solace to thu
hears OF those maidens who long tt

most faces. The hair may be drawn

from young, fresh faces; for older
ones, soft, fluffy. loose effect will rec

The style known as Victoria,

by the Queen, will be chiefly worn by
old ladies. Its soft, curling front,

low nor yet too high, but just whera

The soft, single, coquettish CURL fall

over the right shoulder is distinctly
borrowed from Marie Antoinette's day.
Charming Accomplishments of this
pretty fashion are the mercury wings
that finish the side combs and stand
out as effective backgrounds on either
side of the softly waving pompadour.
For the classic profile and the low

the line of the neck, will, it is to be

THE SILVER DOLLARS VALUE
ABROAD.

New York Press: Can you please ex-
plain the argument OF a free silver
democrat who says that a silver dollar
is now worth SO cent and will still be
worth So cents if Mckinley or Bryan is
elected, and that it is worth 100 cents
in the United States only. AS soon, he
says. as it is taken to Europe it is worth
only its intrinsic value of SO cents.
Therefore. a man buying imported
goods u pay two silver dollars for
one dollars worth of goods, making
gold worth twice as much as silver at
present. Also, please tell me how
rluch silver | could purchase with a
gold dollar at present.
He lies. That is the whole of his ar
gunent. No man pays two silver dol
lars for imported goods worth one dol
payment for food or clothes or wages
in Europe, simply because it is a for-
eign coin. Our gold standard green
backs will not pass there, either. Nor
would a bank of England note pass in
general trade here. But in any Euro
pean brokers' office you can sell the sill
yer dollar for its face value. just as in
any American brokers' office You can
get the face value of the English note.
This is because the faith of the Ameri.
can government is pledged to main
tain the equality of the silver and gold
dollar just as the Bank of England is
pledged to redeem its notes. The value
OF the silver in a dollar fuctuates from
day to day. A gold dollar would pur-
chase 74.2 grains Of silver, or just twice
the number of grains in a dollar at this
writing. Silver is worth 651a cents an
ounce. or just about half of its IS to l
coinage value of 1880.
