When applying velvet ribbon it
should be sewed on along the upper
edge and with run stitches, which must
not be pulled or stretched. In fact, in
sewing all sorts of bands pulling must
be avoided, else the trimming will not
look as if part of the goods. Hercules
braids are in like manner sewed only
along the upper edges-always with
silk matching the braid.
Louisine is apparently as rich and
heavy as the most sumptuous silk, but
its texture is that of summer silk.
Leaf forms in branching patterns are
embossed on Louisine grounds, the de-
signs being white on heliotrope, blue
and other colored grounds There are
also LOuisine weaveS among wash silks
as well as in surah, Habutai and taf-
feta varieties, stripes being, for the
most part, shown in various colors.
Uncommon color assemblies are ef-
fected in taffeta wash silks. In gran
lite effect with a robins -egg-blue
ground groups of narrow satin lines
are woven in cerise and white, or let

equally adaptable to a bodice or an

Fancy gilt, silver and Jewelled hat
pins are worn as much as ever. There
is no rule for placing them but when
once thrust into the straw they should
not be removed. If this precaution is
observed the hat will retain it's shape
and the straw remain intact.
Realistic punches of flowers are rep
resented in motifs with fancifully cut
jet cabochons and steel and gray beads.
Present styles favor the application of
motifs, which may be adjusted so clev-
erly as to seem part of the goods.

green, brown, tan, dahlia, mulberry,

Augusta Chronicle: Robert Gardhire is
a negro and an uneducated one. but when
it comes TO figures he can't be stopped
by any mathematician in the world. He
IS an humble resident of Augusta, and is
employed as a labOrer at the Interstate
Cotton OIL Company In multiplication
Gardhire is as quick as thought. Before
the average person can set the figures
down with pencil Gardhire has given the
correct answer and yet he cannot say
how he does it. He was asked what was
the sum total of 80 times 81. and without
repeating the figures to himself, Gardhlre
answered onhand, 1868. How much"
asked some one, is 1Ol times 32T With
out stopping a second Gardhine replied
'16032 And thus for over half an hour
numbers were thrown at him and he gave
the correct multiplication like a fash. In
the multiplication of fractions the man
is equally proficient, and there seems no
limit TO his powers, which are almost oc-
cult. Gardhire cannot remember when he
first became aware OF his power and does
rot even know how he discovered it. He
says that when the figures are given him
he sees their answer Immediately. Sim
ply by glacing at long line of figures he
can tell Immediately what the addition is.

Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1897-09-17

Seth Low, president of Columbia college,
has sent to the Citizens Union his formal
acceptance of the nomination for mayor
of the Greater New York. In his letter
Mr. Low says he is a Republican and ex-
poets to remain one, but he is completely
in sympathy with the purpose of the Citi-
zens' Union to secure mayor who is free
from all partisan obligations. His atti-
tude toward the administration of the civ
il service laws is happily phrased in the
declaration that at shall be my endeavor
to build up in all parts of the public serv-
ice a spirit of honest pride, based upon
the wel-settled conviction on the part of
every person in the city's employ that, so
long as his services are needed and he rem
ders them faithfully and well, no influence
in the city shall be able to turn him out I;
while the moment he fails in his duty, no
influence shall be strong enough to keep
him i'm In general way Mr.. Low de-
clares his wish to see the great city have a
strictly busness-ike progressive admins
tration. The excise laws governing the
city, he says, "should reflect the public
opinion of the city" remembering always
| that New York, while enthusiastically
an American city, is also, as the Germans
say, a world-city" In case of radical diff
ferences of opinion on excise questions
Mr.. Low would appeal to the people.
The sound Republican sentiment of the
city, voiced by the New York Tribune, en-
dorses Mr. Lows candidacy, but the Platt
machine is bitterly opposed to him and
will accept him only as a last resort. Tam
many, meantime, is trying to find candi-
date who can oppose him with any hope of

AN ATTRACTIVE STORE.

The improvements which Vaughan &
Burnett, jewellers, have made in their store
in Hooker block, formerly the Jordan S
Van Doom store, have been substantially
finished. The renovation of the store has
been thoroughgong and complete. A new
paneled steel ceiling has been put up. new
counter show cases have been added
throughout, and the store has been entire
ly rearranged. Edward Clark, who for
merly occupied the rear end of the store
for his musical instrument trade, now has
the north side of the store, and the rear
end has been separated from the main store
by a screen of oak and glass paneing. This
rear portion has in turn been divided into
two rooms, one for private office and op-
tical room, and the other for a back work
room. New combination lighting fixtures
for gas and electricity have been put in.
The repairing department has been refitted
and remodeled A screen of oak and glass
takes the place of the wire grating at the
door. There are new signs throughout.
The decorations of the store produce an
exceedingly agreeable effect, the new cell
ing being painted in soft colors which blend
perfectly with the colors of the walls and
border. The new firm have begun busi-
ness in commendable spirit of energy
and enterprise, and the young men will re-
ceive the congratulations of their friends
on having housed themselves in one of the
handsomest stores of its kind in the state,
