leaving the arm bare to the elbow and very likely With a yoke, a ruff, or cape pair of shoulder pieces off, too, an evening gown being the triumphant re- suit. Many a woman dresses in silks, where, if it were not for them, she would find silk unattainable.
 Leaving such methods out of the question entirely, it is now possible to have a fashionable silk dress at very moderate cost, especially if taffeta Is the fabric chosen, for some of these silks are very low in price and with care in the selection, durable one can be secured. This picture presents particularly handsome dress of flow cred white taffeta, and possesses seve- ral points that should interest the home designer. The pleats of it's wide skirt are held down on the hips with rows of herring bone embroidery in dark green silk. The bodice has a full blouse front of openwork embroidered white batiste lined with green, but it's back and sides are of the lowered ma teriaL This is used, too, for the fitted sleeves, which have full and novel ep- aulettes of the batiste At either side ol the Colldi tIt IoSeItSS oL NAAiIc loNG' with ribbon straps in back and front and belt of the same. These sleeves are enough to advertise the dress as new, and are but one of many new sleeves that point to a return of tight sleeves next winter Another type of sleeve that, while not seeming as radi- cal departure as this one does, is not so pretty, is fitted tight around the forearm, wrinkles generously and a funnel cuff is extended to the knuckles. When these semi-tight sleeves become generally worn, it will prove that the shapeliness of the arm will dominate the choice of sorts, and, luckily there will be so many kinds that even the woman with thin arms can be suited.

Many of the Democrats who have done great hoping during all the dis couraging time that has elapsed since the last election of Cleveland and the tariff for deficit are at last giving it up. Hope deferred has made their hearts sick, and when they take a look ahead and see what is going to happen at Chicago they become sick at the stomach and feel inclined to throw up the whole business.
 This is a good time for David B. Hill to stand up, hit his manly breast re- sounding thump and say, q am a Dem- ocrat.'' It is also a good time for the Register to reopen it's Amen corner and invite people whoWant to become Dem- ocrats inso it.

A serious question in British mari time interests is the increasing sale of British vessels to foreign purchasers for the reason that the original owners cannot make them pay under present conditions. MT. Yeoman, secretary of the Hartlepool Shipowners' Society, has looked into the matter, and he finds that the restrictions placed upon certain classes of British ships before they are allowed to sail are such that only the foreigner, who is not subject to these conditions, can make the ships pay. The chief point at issue seems to be the question of load-line. The foreigner puts in cargo 100 to 200 tons heavier than the British owner is per mitted to do. As the foreigner can also save not a little ill wages and the cost of provisions his total gain in year upon the present price of one of these vessels, above the profits eff any) of the ship, under the British flag is esti- mated by Mir. Yeoman to be 1872 per cent. The seriousness of this question is indicated in the fact that in four and one-quarter years the Hartlepool ship owners have sold to foreigners forty four steamships of total of 62,S77 tons. As one remedy for this condition of af- fairs it is proposed to give the British shipowners more liberty in the matter of load-line, while still maintaining the care to minimize loss of life at sea,

AN IMPORTANT INVENTION

TO some people who have no particu- lar ear for music the piano is not a musical instrument. Its hammered -out, metallic notes appear to them to have about the same relation to music that the dull thuds of the African tom-tom do. And we have heard people who have two very particular ears for mu- sic assert, even while fresh from the contagion of Paderewski epidemic, that there is no music in the piano. Many who would ffercely dispute this assertion would be entirely willing to admit that the piano has definite and discouraging limitations as a musical instrument and that the chief of them lies in the fact that the present piano action does not allow the performer on the instrument to put that life, warmth and color into the notes that he wants to and may be artistically capable of putting into them.
 It looks very much as if New Ha- ven man, Morris Steinert, who has spent long life in music, and who is known in all the world of musicians, has brought fame and fortune upon himself, and incidentally fame upon the city of his abode, by an invention which will reyolutionize piano playing and piano music by enabling a per former upon a piano to greatly in crease his power of expression, and to put into the piano whatever of feeling and of art he may have in him to use. new action which enables the player to keep in full connection and sympathy with the notes, which by the old action are hammered out and sent flying away in more or less confusion and with only the expression in them put there by the original stroke.
 An interesting and impressive dis closure of the great advantages of the new action were made the other day to small but appreciative audience by MT. Steinert and Professor Parsons. It was seen that the new action allowed music that was without the "tinny" quality of the music made with the old action. There were no confusing and unpleasant "overtones." And there was an almost unbounded increase in the capacity of expression. With the new action piano has a scope that in cludes all from a stringed to a wind in strument, and it can be made to pro duce music that is far more appealing, moving, rich and seusuoUs than can be got with the old action.
 There is already no doubt of the great importance of this new invention It is attracting the attention of those inter ested in the use and development of the piano and will in all probability soon be in use wherever pianos are used. We heartily congratulate MT Steinert on the success Of the great work which he has had in hand for the last twelve years. He doesn't need the money his invention will bring him, but it will be deeply satisfying for him to feel that he has been able to

A gatherer of facts has learned that the annual circulation of the papers of the world is calculated to be 12,000, 900, = GOO copies. It would cover no fewer than 10,450 square miles of surface, that it is printed on 7S1, ,250 tons of pa- per, and, further, that if the number represented, instead of copies, seconds, it would take 333 years for them to elapse. In lieu of this arrangement we might press and pile them vertically upward to gradually reach our high est mountains. Topping all these, and even the highest Alps, the pile would reach the magnificent altitude of 490, or, in round numbers, 800 miles. Cal cuIating that the average man spends five minutes reading his paper in the day (this is a very low estimate), we ind that the people of the world alto gether annually occupy time equivalent to 100000. years reading the papers.

A woman writing Of the Empress Eugenie tells the following graceful story: It was the Empress Eugenie who named one of our most popular roses. When General Mel returned from the scene of his achievements in the Characterization war a poor man gave him a basket of lovely pale yellow roses. As a remembrance of this gift the general had a cutting struck from one Of the blooms and when a charm ing rose tree had grown up took the plant to his royal mistress. She was delighted. both with the gift and the gallant donor, but was surprised to learn that the rose had no name. "Ah!" she said, q will give it name; it shall be the Marechal Niel''-thus informing the great soldier of his elevation to the coveted office of marshal of Trance. Never, surely, was honor more grace fully bestowed.
