After the vessel struck on the reef
Of the southeast promontory and be-

the officers and men that no human
efforts cou d save them. The ma
jority OF the crew were gathered aft,
where the commsnder, Lieutenant
Captain Braua and the officers of the
watch and Lieutenant PRAISE were
standing on the bridge.
AT the moment of the grayest
danger, the captain gathered the
doomed crew about him and called
spon them to give three cheers for
the emperor. They we're given with

through the bridge and swept several
of the men into the sea with the
tangled rigging. Jast then as 8

Mr.. Watson has in press the frs:
volume of History Of France, treat
ed from the point Of view of mod
ern reformor. Commencing with
ancient Gaul, the book ends with the
death of Joan Of Arc.
The Past is the wisest teacher Of
the Present, and no nation teaches
more impressively than France. In
this first volume, the original abuses
of the system by which the Chureh
and the State finally maddeaed the
people and drove them into the wild
excuses Of the French Revolution,
are clearly traced.
The second volume will embrace
the French Revolution; and the third
will give the story of Napoleon, and
the subsequent history Of France
down to the present timo.
The Author believes that the Lss.
sons of Reform and tbs vital impor-
lance Of Coed Government oaa be
better taught from the stern expert
enoe of nations than from editorials
or from speeches.
The work now in press will be
ready for delivery in a few days.
1t will be bound in cloth, printed
on first class paper and in the best
style, and will be sent, postpaid, to
any address, op receipt Of one dollar.
Orders can be sent either to this
office or to the author at Thomson,

NEW PORTIERES.

~ F LATE all sorts OF new ideas have
Eeen thought OF for porticres and
drapcries. People are apparently
becoming tired OF the hangings of
chenille, plush or brocade and are
limiting for something new.
Portieres made OF woven silk rags are
produced by exactly the same method
as the ordinary rag carpet. The silk
is cut or torn into strips of even width
and any hapbazard length, and are even
tapped upon each other and sewcd together
without regard TO color. except that two
pieces of the same color are Joined to each
other. II there are few or many of some
unusual and brilliant color they must lie
scattered so rs to appear at intervals over
the entire surface. Any weaver of rag
carpeting-and they can he easily found
either i'll town or country-will take the
scwed rags and weave them into panel
Of the required length and width. and this
is usually about three and half feet in
width by seven in length. The warp
should be of coarse linen thread. either
black or dark blue.

OH two continents as the proprietor

maiden name was Amy Shelton, and she
was born Of humble parentage in the town
where she died, growing to young woman
hood in her native place. Then, being
full OF energy and very ambitious, she
started out like boy to seek her fortune.
She found 1t very quickly In St. Louis, her
first stopping place.
Here she became acquainted with an old
lady, who had long treasured the formula
ofa secret facial washin whichsh had great
faith. She persuaded Miss Shelton to un-
dertake the manufacture and sale OF the
bleach, and SO well did the girl ma mage
the enterprise that in ten years she had butt
up reputation both Eere and in Europe
and fortune. She lcctured everywhere
Oh the care Of the complexion, and counted
among her customers many crowned heads
Herdeath at the early age of thfrty-two was

continuous work. or her handsome for

n cold winds still blow. Select ladies'
cloth and you will be ready for all

called 'ladies' CLOTH"
The skirt can be a deep poppy red,
trimmed around the hem with a band Of
white cloth. The waist is 4 blouse, ending
with long point in front, under which
great hooks grapple 1t to the skirt. The
waist has an elastic around the belt and
little yoke is put on first, and is as deep
as the waist. In fact, it is the only under
garment worn. and is belted in under
meath with the elastic that holds the blouse.
White cloth makes the lapels of the
bodice and yoke. The waving tie is also
of cloth. There is white cloth cuff at
the elbow.
The perplexing part of a la thing suit is
the undergarment. This is settled for the
waist by the long yoke. Under the skirt
thick woollen tights extend to the waist
