Minor Points of Fashion.

Philadelphia Press.
As one of the minor points of fashion
and after all, these do mark plainly the
woman who keeps up with the times-the
manner of putting on chiffon is noticeable.
1t is first accordion pleated, then shaken
out and rufi1ed on the gown.
This same method of procedure holds good
with net, mousselne, point d'esprit and all
min9S.
Chiffon bodices are not so much in vogue
as the lace ones.
There is no saving of expense in this plan,
for the lace is laid over the chiffon, no
economy being employed on the quality
quantity of this chiffon.
Cay silk is the foundation then comes
ehirred or fulled chiffon, then lace, not by
strips, but by the yard in piece.
This lace is laid over the chiffon with
very little fullneSs at throat or waist, but
the interIining of chiffon gives it lovely
softnesS.
This Is decided Improvement on the lace
over silk or satin alone.
Mechlin Is the favored lace used.
1t takes much time and attention to de-
tail to keep in touch with all the new
things in cOStumery. 1t seems new one
arises each day. so rapidly do they follow
on the heels of one another, SO rapidly do
they gain favor, then vanish.
Positively, it seems no sooner does one
get a collar, a cuff or a girdle arranged
according to the last mode than presto! the
Kaleidoscope has turned, and an entirely
new combination is on.

TO follow the example of the first pair; thav
fed TO another coupe and locked the door
behind them so as to Keep the two titled
roWdieS out. Then the train started on At
the next station the count embraced a wait
ing passengers wife and kissed her. When
the husband called to him to stop the
count drew q short driving whip from his
cheek with It, The prince displayed his
card and the indignant populace, suddenly
humbled. SUNK into the background once
more.
1t is not necessary to follow this precious
pair step by step from the beginning Of the
trip TO the terminus of the road the resi-
of the journey was like the part already
described. Two or three more wives were
insulted, but no husband hand was raised
TO grief, despite all his serenity and titles
and exalted associations at court. His con-
duct was complained of in ST. Peters burg
The War Department sent out an order for
q court-martial. The court-martial was held
and like most other Russian things ordered
from st. Petersburg, 1t was no joke or
mere formality The prince was found
guilty; he was deprived of his commission
and he was degraded to the rank of pri~
vate soldier. Similar punishment was melted
out to the count. Thus the husbands who
allowed their wives to be handled and in
suited and terrified by a stranger, merely
because he bore the title of a prince have
their revenge at last, such as it is. OF
course it might have been even less salts
factory than this. In Germany, for instance
mere count or baron after such a de-
transfer to another garrison. So, from the
European point of view, these amiabe hus-
bands may be regarded as subjects for con-
graduation.

A. the Mistletoe C1ings to the Tree.

As the MistIetOe Clings to the Tree.
The mistletoe clngs to the living tree
And the lichen to the stone;
Thus close to the largess of life cling we.
And every one to his own.
To the fading bark till the bark is dry
And the sap is sinking low.
And the winds that whistle and hurry BY
Are laden with sleet and snow.
But the winds may rave and the tempests aome.-
Sharp spice to our Christmas cheer
And sorrow be added to sorrows sum
At close of luckless year.
Yet closer than lichen parasite
We cIeave to the things that be,
Despite all the promises seers recite
And visions clairvoyants see.
'Is life worth living?' the doubter cries,
Then calls physician in;
While the maid, betrayed with a shot replies,
And ceases to mourn or sin;
But wisdom giveth whatever she hath
To the life and the love she knows.
And trusteth in God for the aftermath
That shall follow deaths repose;
And she hath fair thoughts for the Christmas
time,
And a tender care hath she
For the love that is sweeter than song or rhyme
And the greater love to be.
On the dear Christ's day her heart expands.
And her purse is open WIDE
For she knoweth well most beautiful hands
Are the hands that most provide.
AS the mistletoe clingeth to the tree
And the lichen to the stone,
So wisdom will cling to the things that be
Til the greater things are known.

Dry Goods Chronicle.
Fashion has not yet decided what to do
with the sleeve. 1t is still in evidence, and
the latest model costumes have the bishop
sleeve, the lego mutton, long sleeve, no
sleeve at all, loose and puffed sleeve.
The lesser fry of ladies' tailors are watch
ing with a great deal of attention the edicts
from the largest establishments-the leaders
of which, especially Paquin and Worth ap-
pear to favor a new style of skirt, which /
noticed in detail in my letter of a few
weeks ago. Paquin is now exhibiting the
model of a promenade costume, the fabric
of which was not, as heretofore. cut in its
length but it's breadth, and added together
in such way that the entire skirt has only
two seams, one in the back breadth and the
other in the front. Many short darts inn
part the shape of the hips and in the back
breadth at the top the skirt is almost with
out pleats. The skirt naturally widens
downward in the shape of an umbrella.
Worth caught on to the idea, and efforts
have since been made to introduce this very
novel skirt Instead of being unsightly, the
front seam is easily covered by embroidery
in apron FORM agreeable to the existing
STYLE These seams are ironed apart in I'M
trimmed skirts, and each half is machine
stitched, the stitching forming a simple dec

one woman,s scheme.

New York Evening Sun.
A young woman who has met with marked
success as a public reader tells the follow
ing story of the way she accomplished it:
LAS soon as made up my mind to take the
thing Seriously she said, Il came to New
York, and as soon as / reached New York
I found out that L could never hope to get
on unless I was well advertised. One day
was reading at woman's club. 1t was
miserable weather; not more than half
dozen women were present as audience, and
1 was reading as I should be warranted in
doing under such circumstances, when it
suddenly occurred to me that there were no
reporters present and that there ought to
be. The club was we'll known; surely Its
goings-on were worth chroniciing. An idea
struck me- The editors were always ask
ing for news; here was news story right
at my hand, with myself as heroine. Never
my own AK in two ways. No danger of un-
just criticism with myself as critic. 1 could
hardly wait till the meeting was over, so
anxious was ] to get down town with my
first news story. There were by this time
several editorial rooms to which l had the
entree. and I vent to all OF them: them. In each a.a
portant meeting of the - Woman's Club,
which 1 had by great, good fortune attended,
but which had been graced by no reporters
most likely because of it's great exclusive
ness. Not until the story was officially or.
dered did ! think it best to let any of the
tainer of the important meeting, but so cum
ningly had baited the hook in the first
place that they just, one and all, said: oh,
well write the story anyway; the story's
what we want Write the story therefore
did, and the next day 1 had the pleasure
of seeing it appear in five daily papers. Not
the same story, of course. 1t was really as
tonishing how many different sorts of nice
things l had contrived to say about myself.
had even succeeded in adopting a different
style for each story, so that you would
never have dreamed that they were all by
the same person, much less by the same
person that they were all about. My first
press notices. Oh, how proud was of them
/ at once got out q new set Of circulars in
which the press notices played conspicu-
Gus part. My good luck dated from that
moment 1 became known. The patronesses
and impresarios were right-there's nothing
like advertising, even If you're obliged 10 do
it all by yourself Why, some Of those first
notices still adorn my circulars to-day
Nothing that the most enthusiastic critic
has said about me in later years has ever
been more flattering than those initial trib-
utes that 1 wrote myself"

earth, made rich by mixture of manure
and containing sufficient sand to render II
quite porous. will grow the plants 10 per-
warm room with an even temperature
is required, and but little or no sun. Wa
the soil is dry, and as much from
the bottom--in the saucer-as possible. The
drainage in the pot must be good. and IS
easily secured by a handful OF large gravel
stones or some bits of broken pots in the
bottom. Water should never be applied to
the foliage, but il It is accidentally wet
may be wiped off with a sponge, which
should also be used occasionally to keep the
foliage free from dust. What moisture the
foliage requires can be readily supplied by
keeping a dish or bowl of water among the
plants OF varieties, Countess Louise
Erdody, Annie Dorner, Frances George,
Louise CloSson, Mrs. Z. Bonner and Perle
de Paris will furnish distinct variety in
form and marking of foliage.
For the window devoid of sun but where
we can have an abundance of light, l have
found the Swainsonia more satisfactory
than any other plant in my collection. The
plant flowers freely in the winter if it can
have light window, but not necessarily
sun. The flowers are pure white produced
IN sprays and resemble the sweet pea in
ingly graceful in form, and as ii is easy
to grow and rarely out of bloom during
the entire winter it deserves a place in
every collection.
AS decorative plant for the shady win
dow Sanseveria Zealanica is one of the
best. So well does it stand shade dust and
general neglect that it has been termed
the lazy woman's favorite;" but like most
members of the floral kingdom it will re-
pay in brightness of markings and habit
Of growth any good care given it. The
foliage often grows to height of three
feet or more, and is dark green in color
beautifully and irregularly striped across
with broad white markings.
Among ferns are several varieties which
I have found excellent for the shady win>
dow but of course they require much more
moisture than the other plants. Davilla
Stricta is perhaps the easiest to grow in
the window. the fronds being of strong
texture and an attractive shade Of green.
Adiantum Cuneatum, the favorite naidens
hair fern, does well in the window, but !
have found that 1t grows best when the
the winter; it then throws out a much
stronger growth.

TOBACCO IN AUSTRALIA.
The AntipOdes to Become a COmpeti-
tor of the Western World.

Tobacco Leaf.
Australia has at last set about making
a serious effort to cultivate tobacco. For
thirty years or more the weed has been
grown in limited areas in New South
scarcely be said to have been cultivated
Not at any stage has the industry been
backed by scientific knowledge; at least.
not until experts were sent over from this
country. Victoria secured the services or
Mr. Bondurant a Kentuckian, If We mis-
take not. and New South Wales those of
Mr. Howell, also from the South. The
former has been at the Antipodes for two or
three years, and the latter only a few
months. Sufficient, however, has been done
by Mr.. Bondurant in Victoria to demon
strate that a good marketable article can
be grown there, and that in future tobacco
will figure much more prominently In the
thought likely a few years back. 1t was
the success which attended the efforts OF
Mr. B ;nSgH as practical instrqNSe ew
South Wales to follow Victoria's lead and
also to turn to the States for a scientlno
teacher: And now we learn that the Agrl-
cultural Department of Queensland is as
sisting its growers by importing the best
American seed procurable. The expert II
is presumed, will follow in due course.
There is no doubt whatever that tobacco
can be prottably grown In all the AUS
tralian colonies; The product may, nf fSsF
of our New England States; but the iact
that the governments have decided 10 push
the enterprise for all that it Is worth
eventually be produced and placed on the
markets of Europe. The latest reports
from Victoria place the new crop at zoo
tons, but the average annual ylelu mas
been double that for some years past me
great drought that afflicted Australasia IN
the latter part of 1895 accounts for the
falling off. Just what percentage of these
ESQ tons will be shipped abroad is not
stated, but fair quantity is destined TOT
London and Liverpool-as sample snip
ments only, be il understood. The tobacco
is probably on Its way to Europe at TINS
moment, for the report under review was
written in June. The leaf was then treat
ed for shipment but it was thought some
little time would be consumed in getting
1t ready. 1t will be packed much the same
as are our Southern tobaccoS.
From this report, however, We learn thas
the government expert is very well pleased
with the results attained at the expert
mental farm at Ed where he planted a
large number of varieties of plug and cigar
leaf tobacco. Mr.. Bondurants chief object
has been to determine what varieties or
leaf were best adapted to Victorian soil and
climate; and this, 1t is claimed. he has
done. Next season a larger crop is to be
set out. and should that prove a CONNER
ciaI success the tobacco-raising industry
will be fairly launched. In all human
probability II will be years before Aus
tralia becomes competitor OF ours In THIS
field; but once 1t has been proved that to-
bacco is profitable crop to grow, and the
farmers have learned to handle 1t. then We
may have to bestir ourselves

saVed by One Chance In Ten Million,
The accidents that astonish railroad
men are those that happen without hurt
ing anybody. Such mishap occurred
to the Lake Shore fier from Cleveland
coming into Chicago one Saturday
morning. A steel tire slipped from one
OF the driving wheels of the engine
with the train going at full speed. This
was extraordinary, but that it should
Slip off the wheel over the connecting
rod and fall clear of the track instead
OF wrecking the train was simply mirac-
ulous
The driving wheel revolves, say, four
times every second, covering that same
second 80 feet of the rail. Fracture the
tire with its deep inner fange, made to
Keep it on the rail, and try, with that
big connecting rod rising and falling
two feet every quarter Of a second and
the broken tire rolling 80 feet every sec
ond, to make the tire fall off the wheel
and over the connecting rod so it shall
drop clear of the wheel, the rod, the
rail and the train.
This could not happen once in 10,-
100000 times. Yet on the Lake Shore
t1ler coming into Chicago it did that
very thing, and the passengers, instead
OF being smashed up in a wreck, mar
veled over the remarkable occurrence.
