woMAN's WORLD OF FASHION.

Feathers are lavishly used in hair
dressing; also stiff bows of lace en-
broidered with iridescent beads or
spangles.
The divided pompadour is considered
q very becoming style, and, with the
soft rolls of waved hair on either SIDE,
is pleasing fashion for those whose
face it suits.
There Is a steady demand for hosiery
with black ankles and feet and colored
tops. The hose are for the most part
ribbed, and some of them have OPEN
worked stripes.
Black and white is extremely fashion
able, and some of the black and white
brocades are exquisitely beautiful.
Made up with large mass of white
satin, they are the most elegant Of
dresses.
One Of the most elegant opera cloaks
Is made of MORE brocade. 1t is in blue
and gray, and is lined with gray satin,
with an interlining of elder flannel. It
has collar, cape edging and bands
down the front of gray fox furs.
Perfectly straight plaits down the
fronts of dress waists are becoming to
but very few peoples There is always
q much more satisfactory effect If the
plat is slightly gathered or drawn in.
1t narrows the front and makes more
graceful lines.

AS TO HANDWRITING.

Conan Doyle, who might be expected
to show subtlety in his penmanship,
writes hand as plain as a pikestatf.
William Blacks must be treasure to
his printers.
Charles Dickens is the only writer of
whom Mr.. Payn knows who ever fell
into flourish, and that was only when
he signed his name. There is something
separate in all the styles, but MIR. Payn
claims he does not read any indications
of character from them.
poet once ungallantly described the
writing of women as "such hand as
when a field of corn bows all it's ears
before the roaring east" but women's
writing is hardly less distinctive than
mems. Miss Martineau's handwriting is
Blngularly bold and clear, and that of
Miss Milford is small and delicate.
The writing masters of generation
ngo had very ford style, which they
tried to impress upon their pupils. In
Queen Elizabeth's time the writing Of
Master Peter Bale is mentioned with
the gravity due an historical char
acter. Bale challenged all the world
to compete with his skill and offered
a gold pen valued at $500 as a reward
1t was to be given to him who wrote
fastest, straightest and best and most
kind of ways" These professors piqued
themselves on any kind OF fancy writ

Many Frenchmen take their wheels
across the Mediterranean to Algiers and

cycling In Africa.
One Of the public schools of Germany,

it obligatory for all its pupils 10 learn
to ride the bicycle.
The statistician Of the Horseshoers'

Many people 70 and 70 years of ege are

recreation, and but little comment Is
Occasioned. Bicycle riding is murh

NOBlLlTY'S HEAD COVERING.

A baron's crown is velvet cap, with
ermine border. but the coronet differs
from that of the viscount in having
eight pearls on the upper rim instead of
IA, the latter number being the allow
nnce of the viscount. In France the
pearls are usually arranged in sets of
three.
The Greeks gave crown of laurel to
the victor in the Pythian games, but
the victor in the Olympian games had
Gown of wild olives, the victor in the
Eemean games crown of green parsley,
and the victor in the Isthmian games a
crown of dry parsley or green pine
leaves.
According to the most reliable Eng
lish historians, Alfred the Great, In 1872,
was the first English sovereign to wear
a crown. From early inscriptions and
historical records it appears that the
Saxon kings before the time Of Alfred
wore simply band of pearls around the
head as mark of royal power.
The trimphal crown Of Rome was
made of laurel leaves and was given 70

SIMPLE REMEDIES.
Some That Have Often Been of Service
In Emergencies.

Some That Have Often Been of Service
In Emergencies.
We often laugh at old-fashioned peo-
pie who keep regular stock of rem
edies, and seem able to offer cure for
almost every ill, but these same home
ly medicines have often done much
good while waiting for physician, OF
in case of an accident when to wait
might have been fatal or have caused
permanent injury.
The following are only few hints
whose merits are known to the writer
and may be of service in any emer-
gency:
For a cold, for hoarSeness, or when
pneumonia is threatened, take equal
parts of dried hops, pennyroyal and
sage, place in a kettle and pour about
a quart of boiling water upon them;
let these boil for few minutes, then
stop up the spout and place cloth
about the lid, opening in such a way
that it can be brought up over the pa
tents face; let the fumes be inhaled
as hot as possible. When not using it.,
il should gently simmer in the same
room, and will make the atmosphere
moist and grateful to the sore lungs.
at the same time the chest and soles
of the feet should be rubbed with tur-
pentine and sweet oil alternately.
For inflamed eyes take a piece Of
alum and with it stir the white Of an
egg until it becomes a creamy con-
sistency, then spread between a fold
Of thin linen and lay upon a hand
kerchief, after which bind it over the
eyes.
For burn take one part fresh lard
and two parts baking soda, mix to-
gether and spread upon pieces of white
OF cream tissue paper, lay these gently
upon affected part, and bind on with
muslin strips. While waiting for the
lard and soda the burn should be
bathed with witch hazel.
For earache or toothache put a large
cup of salt into a skillet, and heat it
until very hot, stirring all the time.
Put it into cloth and tie with a string
into loose bunch. Hold this as hot as
can be borne over the ear or cheek.
Ii covered with a thick piece of flannel
the heat will be retained longer.
For bruise or sprain, battle with
hot water and afterwards bind on a
cloth saturated with hot witch hazel.
These remedies are so simple and
harmless in their nature that they can
he used by anyone, and are sure to
help, if they do not always cure.-
Tears, Idle Tears.
A little frown beclouds her brow.
Her thoughts seem far away;
look In vain for dimples now
Where they we're wont to play.
Why sits she thus. with downcast eyes,
And lips so tightly pressed?
What cause is there for such deep signs
From one so richly dressed?
| Is some dear friend, you ask, laid low,
i That she sits musing now?
Is love the cause of all the woe
That rests upon her brew?
Nay, tits not news from Ger the seas,
Nor love that Is unfair;
| She sits and mopes to-day for she's
Just found her first gray hair.
