Where Novelties Are Grafted.

Now that it is not easy to plan a novel sleeve, and it really is much harder than 1t was when puffs were enormous, the location of gowns un- usual feature is on it's body part, be- cause, though skirts may be trimmed they are not often ornamented very showily. Then in giving to the bodice some assertive bit of newness there is no more effective medium than a bo- lero, but this may be an effect, produc- ed by an outlining of folds or braid
 or it may be an elaborate jacket, as ornate as tasteful management can make 1t. There was a time when the bolero meant pretty much one thing. but now it can be most anything, and the quaint form of it in this picture is not at all exaggerative according to

The fact is correct, and was once the occasion of a curious scene at the Hofburg when the Emperor had to exert his personal authority to obtain partners for his Premier's daughter; but our contemporary surely mistakes the feeling of the Czar. In his mind, as in that of every true autocrat, there is no rank except that derived from his favor. His notice in fact, as Nicholas I, once openly said, of itself confers rank The well-born in Russia have social ad- Vantages, as everywhere else, but Peter the Greats ablest minister was a cook or sutler, and the tradition has never been forgotten.

PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE WORE.

Railroad companies are not generally looked upon as promoters of temper ance, but many of them are, and pow erful ones too. The Northwestern Christian Advocate has been inquring of leading railroad companies concern ing the use of intoxicating liquors by their employees and the result is encour- aging to travellers and temperance workers. Reports are presented from nineteen roads. In every case drinking while on duty is absolutely prohibited
 and with a majority of roads 1t is clear ly intimated that employees who wish to retain their positions must refrain from the use of intoxicants when off duty as we'll. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton road inquires into the habits of applicants for positions, and does not employ any person who is not strictly temperate. The Chicago & AL ton road declares that any employe Wno IS known. 10 use intoxicating liquors or frequent gambling places
 either on or off duty, will be promptly and permanently discharged" The Baltimore x Ohio road "does not retain Incorporate men in its employ The effect of the rule has been very notice able, and the result has been a higher class of men in the train service than ever before" On the Illinois Central road mo person addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors shall be employed

 Box coats, as much like a turfman's as possible, are the resort of the con- flrmed tailor made girl, but, to tell the truth, she almost freezes to death in the winter.

The Wiener Tagblatt an influential Austrian journal, has found an ex- traordinary reason for praising the demeanor of the Czar. He actually allowed Mime. Faure and Mime. Brisson, who are not even hoffahg, to dine at the same table with himself and the Czarina, Such a concession to re- publican principles would, the journal ist continues, be absolutely impossible in Vienna, where, though a low-born man might be admitted to the Elm peror's table, his wife never could be

There is said to be 8 decline In the art of cooking in France. It is assert ed that the chefs of reputation disdain to prepare dishes of ordinary kinds, but endeavor to hold themselves in reserve for grand occasions, delegating their regular duties to inferior cooks, while on the other hand it is alleged that the chefs employers have forgotten how this or that dish should taste and are incompetent to criticise.

The New Orleans Times Democrat devotes several columns to an exposi- tion of the exorbitant claims presented against the estate of the late Fanny Sweet, of that city. The highest courts of the State recently decided that the rightful heirs to the estate were a brother in San Francisco and a sister at Huntington, W. Va, and it was said each would come into the possession of s1Oo,0O0 worth of property. But a re- port to the court having charge of the estate shows its gross value to be a lit tie over $54, 900. But for the interfer- ence of the judge there would have been nothing left for the heirs, as claims for enormous fees were put in. These the judge cut down fin a summa- " manner, which will leave, perhaps,

ONE OF SYDNEY SMITHS JOKES.

The Son wss y sport, but the Father
Took Him Down.
The famous Sydney Smith had son
who was interested in horses, dogs and
sport. He was talkative young man
and an agreeable companion for those
who had tastes similar to his own, but
he was out Of place at his fathers table
when distinguished prelates and digni-
taries Of the church were present. When
the father was entertaining guests Of
this class, he seldom allowed the young
man to be present. o.
One night there was to be a dinner
to which the bishop of London and 9th
er clergymen of high rank had been
invited The son begged to have the
privilege Of place at the table, re-
marking that he seldom was favored
with the chance Of making the acquaint-
ance of the gl-it clergy.
His father in reply said that the COM
pany would not be interested in stories
about horses, dogs, racing and such
matters, and that he feared his son
would be unable to adapt his converse.
ton to their tastes. The young man
promised not to talk, but to listen, and
was given permission to be present at
the dinner.
He was us good as his word until the
company were nearly through dinner,
when there was an awkward pause in
which no one seemed ready to start a
fresh subject. In this crisis the son
abruptly turned to the bishop and aston
ished the company by asking:
SIS your lordship able to tell me what
was tho condition of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
when he came off the grass?"
Sydney Smith, sitting at the head Of
the table, was Mortified by this familiar
application Of sporting phrases to an in
cident Of religious history, and quickly
changed the subject, after remarking
grimly to the bishop:
II have always told my friends that
my son possessed what might properly
be called stable mind.
The company laughed over the pun,
and the young man, after turning rcd
in the face, relapsed into silence, and
made no further attempt to adapt his
special knowledge Of horses aud racing
stock to the entertainment of clerical
society. The scene between father and
son on the following morning is not re-
corded, but the father evidently enjoyed
the joke and frequently told the Incl
dent to his intimate friends. Youth 3
