polite sneer; ''isn't that piling IL up

was offered to me for eleven

afternoon the bride drove to the shop
from which the chandelier came, and
began an indignant speech about the
wickedness OF charging her ono hun
dred thousand francs for n chandelier
offered TO some one else for little more
than half. The dealer interrupted
her: "Madam, you are mistaken; that
chandelier was chosen by your hus-

piled, 'T never saw it till it was put

to him for fiIty-five thousand francs, but
he beat us down to fifty thousand, and
that's all We got. You had better ask
him to show you the receipt. 1 think
you will find he has lost it" Shortly
after tho bride received bill for forty
thousand francs for pearl necklace.
The husband had given it to her as
birthday present, and sho was pleased
by the kindly thought. although she
knew well she would have to pay. She
was rather startled by the price, since,
though tho pearls were fine, two rows
did not seem to represent anything
like so large sum; so she went to the
jewelers. to remonstrate with him for
cheating her husband. "But ma

FASHION NOTES.

The correct walking boot is to have
a broad sole this winter.
Sailor hats, trimmed with plaid
taffeta ribbon, are very popular for
fall wear.
A dress OF spotted taffeta is one of
the most useful additions to woman's
wardrobe. Given silk OF good quail
ity and there are few more satisfactory
investments.
Very large hats OF tan-oolored felt
are trimmed with profusion of black
plumes aud black velvet ribbon. A
very large hat Of tan felt has brim
of silvery beaver and trimming Of In
dian-red velvet and velvet autumn
leaves.
Ladies who have become weary of
renewing silk petticoats will find it to
their advantage to try those mado of
alpaca. Made up with ruflies of the
same material or of silk, and edged
with lace or velvet. they arc exceed
ingly pretty and stylish, as well as
very durable.
Bright red waists arc fashionable
and becoming to brunettes. They are
specially pretty for dull aud gloomy
weather, and when worn with black
skirts make very serviceable and prac-
tical costumes. The brightest OF them
may DO somewhat subdued by full
fronts of lace mixed with black velvet
ribbon.

of Queensland, has until recently been
governor of that colony, and it is ex-
tremely unusual for an officer who has

Mr.. Gladstone to the Office of viceroy

"Tar and Feathers" Not American.

"Thcrc is general impression in
this country at least, that the institu.
ton known MS tar and feathers Is dis.
tinctively American. Nothing could
be further from tho mark" observed
Judge Riley OF the Virginia bar. "The
fact is, what We understand to bo O
coating of tar md feathers is OF an
cient origin. There is also IN idea
aaoat that tar and feathers is sort of
southern celebration. that it was in.
vented there. and that il is OF common
occurrence in that section of our
lovod country. l assure you that both
those ideas are wrong all the way
through. In tho first placs, while
there is plenty of tar in the South. tho
stock OF feathers is not 80 large. And
again they arc too valuable to use in
such way.
"Where person deserves such a
treatment it is much easier and better
to give him thorough cowhiding. A
cowhiding sticks as well as coating
of tar, if it is we'll applied. Tar and
feathers originated in the days of
Richard Coeur-de Lion, over eight
hundred years ago. as is evidenced by
ono of his ordinances for seamen. as
follows: That If any man is taken
with theft or pickery, and thereof
convicted, he. shall have his head
polled, and hot pitch poured upon his
pate, and upon TINT the feathers OF
some pillow or cushion shaken aloft
that he may thereby be known for u

soft pufis, brnids or coils, arranged in
some original fashion that best suits
