It was suit that cost over 500, and
all that was involved Yves an old roos.

that his life would end within week.
The rooster has for some time been in
possession Of T. Kirby Keinsohn, Of
the Hotel Kirby, but was owned by
.Delbert Galliher. A few days ago
George Alvy laid claim to it, but as
Heinsohn or Galliher would not give
it to him he entered suit Of replevin.
Each employed q couple. of lawyers
and yesterday over seyenty-fve wit.
nesses wore examined, and the trial
resulted in the rooster remaining in
the possession Of Galliher, and A|vy
had all Of the costs to pay, amounting
to over 800. During the trial tho
rooster was perchea upon the judges

from the beginning to the end Of tho
trial. Since the trial it has been
learned that the @oostcr is one Of

OUR DOMESTIC MACHINERY.

One OF the things that surprise
foreign housekeepers, notably French
women, when they come over here is
our cumbrous domestic machinery
Particularly are they amazed that it
should la such an almost universal
custom to have the family washing
done at home. 1t is bad enough in the
dwellings that shelter only one family
beneath their roofs, but laundry work
going on IN the little sets OF rooms in
the apartment houses fairly startles
the Partisan chateloine. That this
custom mus! be changed sooner or
later seems inevitable. So much OF
cooperative housekeeping could be
adopted with profit to him or them
who would undertake it and with
enormous addition to the comfort and
convenience of living. The nearest
approach to this millennium at the
moment is the scheme of some of tho
laundries to take the family washing
by the pound. Five cents yer pound
on all bundles Of five pounds or over
is charged, price which includes the
ironing of certain fiat pieces like
towels and bed.linen. The starched
pieces are returned. starchcd and
dried, and ready to dampen and iron,
and the other pieces rough.dried. II
such system will pay in isolated
establishments with necessarily limited
patronage it deserves trial ON q
wholesale plan. New York Post.

TIE FARMERS DACGHTER,3

The daughter of the farmer sits be.

A1ELBA'S MARVELLOUS GOWN.

AEAbA MARVELLOUS GOWN.
The gown which Nine. Melba wears
IN the third act Of "La rraviata" The
ballroom scene-cost nearly fifteen
thousand dollars. The embroidery is
OF seed pearls and of small diamonds
applied by some wonderful French
process, and it's construction occupied
over a year. The ivory brocaded
satin OF which it is composed Was
specially woven for it, and is Of such
body that it resembles heavy cloth
in weight, requiring no lining in
either skirt or bodice. It is of an ex.
traordinary lustre, producing an
opalescent effect in certain lights, and,
combined with the fortune of gems
which Nine. Melba will wear with it,
will give her the appearance OF stand.
ing in robe OF glimmering light.
The trained skirt is a mass of jeweled
embro idery. The pattern is outlined
in spiral plume, the stem composed
Of small diamonds. The body OF the
plume is OF spangles in virgin silver
beaded with seed pearls. The en-
broidery outlines the seems Of this
skirt, interspersed with an applied
etching representing the camellia, the
stems and leaves being in different
shades Of green. The bodice is made
Of satin in folds that seem to drape
the form. 1t is without sleeves, being
upheld over the shoulders by chains
OF diamonds-three strands to each
side. On the left shoulder is bunch
of real camellias fastened with mag
niticent diamond clasp. The slippers
are made of the same satin, and are
embroidered to match with seed pearls
and diamonds, the lnstep being liter
ally studded with gems. Nine. Melba
wears nearly one hundred Thousand
dollars worth of jewels in this act, and
will be q veritable blaze Of light from
head to foot. Upon her head will rest
tiara OF diamonds and pearls-the
latter being the rare pear. shaped
pearls, beautifully matched and per.
feet in color. In her hair, which will
be rolled in Greeiau knot, a camellia
will be fastened by dagger OF pearls
and diamonds. Close to her throat
will be worn seven.stranded col
]srette Of pearls, fastened by three
diamond clasps. Below this will be a
pendant of shaped pearls and
diamonds matching the tiara, said to
have cost fourteen thousand dollars.
There are two long necklaces reaching
below the wsist-a string of diamonds
and rope OF pearls. There are five
hundred pearls in the string, ench one
as big us pea and perfect in shape.
Their color is family tinged with rose,
and the lustre IS superb. This with
diamond ne cklace, represents over fifty
thousand dollars. 10 the diamond
necklace is attached . curiously beau
tiful little charm, which Nine. Melbn
calls her talisman. It was presented
to the diva by the Baron de Roths.
