Tyrant say 1t Is just the thing for you.
Then having insisted on leaving it to
her to modify according to her taste,
1t would have been ten to one that she
would have sent you very fair copy
of the model Any other plan seems
absolutely certain to bring about some
awful surprise in the way of style or
material.
Generally Madam Tyrant does not
approve of the tailor-made dress. The
only method by which you can secure
her cooperation in the making of this
sort Of gown is to suggest very deli
cately that you know a dressmaker
does not like to make a tailor finish
gown, and that you hope she will not
mind your going for that particular
gown to - IL Co., who make a special
ty of that sort of thing. She will be-
come dreadful severe at once, but you
must not lose courage. She will say
that she can make as good tailor gown
as any man ever did, but don't you
weaken; pretend you don't want to
bother her and then go away. If you
want to, you can try to arrange at a
tailor's and you'll discover that they
charge frightfully, and that they do
not, after all, seem to know so very
much more than Madam Tyrant does
when she wants to. Then go back to
her very meekly. Tell her that you have
had to give it up. That you cannot find
tailor who SENS to know thing
about it. Tell her that all you want Is
o perfect fitting dress that will give you
room across the chest, and that will
have skirt to clear the ground, hang
well and yet not be too full to lift. Say
plaintively that you cannot make
tailor show you any model that you feel
like risking.
Madam Tyrant will be very offish. but
she will imply that IL she cares to do

Big Electrical Plant.

MaripOsa County, California, is to
have the third largest electrical power
developing and distributing plant in the
United States. The largest is at Mag
ara, the next is at Folsom, in Califor-
MIA, and the third Is to be constructed
at the Horseshoe Bend on the MERGED
River. The location is near the center
of a mining district, having at least 100
mines that are sufficiently prospected
to use cheap power. At the driest sea-
son of the year the power company
calculates upon 1900 horse power, and
during eight months in the year they
expect water enough to generate $500
horse power. The price the company
proposes to charge its consumers is SIS
per horsepower a month.

pictured here that woman got when
she bought goods enough to make q
cape that would reach to the knee.
But the Tyrant said that all the rest
of the material was in the applique
design that was all over the cape. 1t
was a pretty cape, though, so the
wise victim said that and nothing more.
You want to remember that a little
thing like few yards does not count
Perhaps the hardest thing to get out
of the fashionable dressmaker is a
simple house dress. Suppose you have
bought some low-priced material and
that you have planned dress as sim
pie as the one the artist puts in the
last sketch. The dressmaker will line
you can't see straight. Even the
woman who swore that she was 60
ing to act in private theatricals and
that she wanted her house dress to
play the part in, had hard time get
ting 1t simple and couldn't keep of a
demonstration in the way of buttons.
But In general it was simple. After
ward she had to pretend that she was
wearing 1t so as not to waste It. Even
then her dressmaker suspected her,
and you ought to have seen what she
did in revenge, with the next dress!
In general, defer to the authority
Of madam. 1T Is your safest way.
Accept humfly the Office o; carrying
about her clothes as worthily as pos.
sible, and she may come to regard you
as a good advertisement and take an
interest In you." IL she once does that,
you are safe. 1t may cost you little
more, but what of that? If she takes
an interest i'm you, you are made, fig
ure and all, IL need be.

must plan the front as If it were an
after-thopght. This may trick mad
am. If she suspects you are lost! But
then you are probably lost anyhow.
Here is another little hint when
your reception dress or your matinee
and walking gown comes home with
an entirely unexpected curve in the
coat, something Of just the ornate and
fancy kind that you hate, a big scol-
lop cut in the front, or combination
effect Of zouave and frock coat that
drives you wild. Don't you utter q
word, unless it Is to say how pretty
the idea Is. Madam Tyrant made a
mistake, that is what is the matter.
She got spot on one side of the coat
or made a mistake and cut through
when the cloth was double, or fell
into some other unfortunate blunder,
and this ornate finish is to compromise
the fact. If there Is one thing more
than another that will estrange your
dressmaker it is inquiring too exactly
about these changes of plan Of hers. If
she said she was going to give you a
plain skirt and she gives you one with
a ruffie around the bottom you keep
still and don't lift up the ruffie. After
all, what Is one dress compared to
the good will of the arbiter Of your
fortunes and finances. and that is what
your dressmaker is.
If you want cape you had better
leave it entirely to her. There Is moth
ing a dressmaker likes to experiment
on so much as a cape. Give her q
general idea of what you want, in
duce her to promise that she will not
give you one or two things that you
really. don't want, and then go home
and pray. 1t was a cape Of the sort

A Patriotic Girl.

A bright and patriotic America girl
who was recently in oxford, England,
attended an afternoon tea while there,
and soon found herself, her country,
its institutions and customs objects of
great interest. The conversation was
animated and prolonged well into the
evening, and the young American took
a conspicuous part therein. Physically
exhausted thereby, the maiden knelt
for her customary devotions at her bed
side that night in a mood somewhat
less attentive than usual, so that, as
she confesses confidentially to her
friends, she discovered herself saying:

Railway Complete to Murrat Wells
kha1ifa Has 10000 Men.
The head of the new railway is now at
Murrat Wells, fourteen miles from Sar-
ras, Egypt. In the last few days the
work accomplished under Bimbashee
Girouard averaged one mile a day. The
greatest drawback experienced has been
having to carry from Sarras all the water
for the laborers and the guard, number
ing 1,6O0 men. There is only small
quantity Of water at Murrat, and it is not
suitable for drinking. The railway will
probably be continued to Abuenadmah,
on the third cataract. The khalifa's total
force has been estimated at 10000 men,
Of whom 10000 are armed with rifles, but

tory that requires guarding it is imposs-
BILE that he coulI concentrate more than
one-fourth Of the number to repel an at

In view o. the small crop of sugar pro-
duced in Cuba last year, United States
Minister Buchanan, at Buenos Ayres,
says the belief has gained ground there
that Argentine raw sugar and molasses
can be proftably exported to the United
States. To illustrate the extent of the
sugar industry in that country the Minis
ter submits statistics showing the pro-
duction by mills and by departments. In
one province, Tucuman, thirty-one mills
produced 240,356,976 pounds of sugar
during the nine months of 1895 ended
Dec. 81, being an increase Of 75,172, 2S6
pounds over the corresponding period Of
1894.
