HINTS TO HUSBANDS.

From the St James Budget.

some years; and as my wife keeps much
company and, with a magnanimous laxity
has allowed me freely in her drawing
rooms, I have had exceptional opportu-

Man himself has changed so little In his
social habits since history began that il is
not surprising that he should exhibit an
almost monotonous uniformity in his de-
mands on the other sex He stnl. as he
has always done, admircs one sort OF
woman and marrics another; while his

two-would be found to bear strange re-

Clnquevalh possesses amazing strength

The genesis of this remarkable feat was
a wager, made in cafe in Paris. Gin

juggler could not lift him in the chair

was accepted, and Cinquevalli retired 10

minutes he came in and won the wager,

casion the chair was none too strong
CinqueValli is very proud of three sepa-
rate movements executed. at the same
time. He juggles several hats in one hand
and in the other holds a common straw
sailor. On his forehead is balanced an

Elaborate French gloves are coming in
with elaborate French coiffures We
used TO think il horrid taste TO wear any
thing but plain white or black or flesh
color. Now the gloves are stitched in

The gloves are not too long, many wo-
men preferring to show the tip of a dim
pied elbow. Matrons wear short gloves
girls the more modest long ones.
At dinner the hand is slipped out of the
glove and the latter tucked up the wrist
of the glove, without removing the little
knots of velvet being frequently seen. All
this is supposed to be strictly Empire. but

Paris. Feb. 1.-THE latest ball gowns Of
this season are remarkably simple in de-
sign. but the combinations of color are so
unusual and daring, and the materials are
SO rich, that the gowns would never be
designated as simple
The skirts claim most of the trimming,
and it is put on in more different ways
than one ever dreamed of. Spanish
founees are popular, and when the ma
terial used is of grizzly texture the effect
of a Spanish founce is wrought by placing
the material in tiny plaits at the hips and
allowing it to fare about six inches from
the Waistband.
Narrow rose ruches of moussehne de sole
or chiffon are used a great deal in trim
ming the skirts of evening gowns. They
are often put on over the seams Of skirt,
or they desribe all sorts and kinds of seal
lops around the edge of a skirt.

Transient Merchants,

After the assessor has made his
rounds and has put valuation on
property, real aud personal, nova
ble and imm6va6le, there has been
Il custom started, or rather say
reprehensible practice iNaugurated
in our Southern towns and cities,
of strangers coming into all these
places and opening stores OF the
cheap John variety,.jnst as the fall
trade is brisk and money plentiful.
They continue in full swing until
trade begins to grow slack, when
they pack their goods and are off
again no one knews whittier, but
not without carrying away a full
share of the profits of the winters
business. The following autumn
the stony is repeated, 1t may he
with different principals. We have
heard many complaints from other
towns Of these transicnts and the
injury they do legitimate trade.
This system is now being felt here
at home, and our merchants justly
complain of it. They are settled
citizens, the latter say of themselves,
and are here through good times
and bad, through spring and sum
mer dizziness as we'll as the brisk
ness of fall and winter. They arc
here and assist in every enterprise
contrilMte to every charity, while
these strangers, without any intent
to locate permanently, dodge thu
assessor, and come III and take
away part OF The home merchants
profits. 1t is unjust and is alto
gether a bad state Of things. N,
