FOR THE SPRING CAMPAIGN.
A Forecast Of the lncominE Fsshions Ia
WOmcns Dress.

A Forecast Of the Incoming Fashions Ia
Womcn's Dress.
Preparations aro being made on every
side for the spring campaign. though 1t
is more or less difficult TO find out tho
exact direction Dame Fashion is likely
to take. Judging from the early impor-
tations already in sight, it seems prob
able that sloping shoulders, narrow
skirts, short trains, draped bodiccs and
bright colors will prevail throughout
the spring and summer months. Dress
materials are many and varied. Among
fashionable materials are pretty Scotch
friezes in mixed coloring. The calnel's
hair fabrics for early spring are to be-
come quite popular These will be made
up with bright velvets and considerable
passementerie and embroidery. Large,
striking patterns predominant Plaid
silks and changeable silks are to be seen.
There are also silks in checks and mar
row stripes. Silk dresses arc evidently
destined to become exceedingly popular.
Indistinctly summer materials, such
AZ organdies, dimities, grenadines and
china Silks are observable scroll de-
signs, lowered patterns and NIL over de-
signs The new canvas materials, all
cotton, which come in ~ variety Of COL
ors promise to be very popular.
The form which the dress skirt is to
take is at present problem. 1t seems
certain that it must be trimmed. The
rule abroad is panels and fiat bands for
day wear in wool and silk fabrics and
tucks and rutfles for thin materials. Ball
gowns favor frills in thin materials,
clustered together at the hem and COIL
shutting the sleeves. The V shaped en-
broidered' pieces OH the bodices become
more and more elaborate, and it is al-
most impossible to have too many
buckles or too many diamonds. Soft

VERMONTS TRIBUTE TO GRANT.

A number of governors responded
to the invitation of the New York
Journal to write brief tributes to Gen.
Grant, and Gov. CIRCUITS reply was as
follows:
s'I loved Grant so well that am
apt to be extravagant when 7 speak
of him. We are all more or less
familiar with his early youth, and
how he first entered the army and
left it. We know, too, of his subse-
quent mistakes. But remembering
his patriotic struggles and his un-
varying success in the war we must
give him the highest place in our
hearts as we dedicate his monument
on Tuesday.
eff we follow Gen. Grants career
through the war we must credit him
with the victory. When his country's
interest was at stake he never failed
He was a great president. Every
ruler of the world did homage to his
great qualities. When his official
activities were over he told in his
book the events of his career with
the modesty characteristic of his
whole life. The man who could do
all that and please the world in doing
it is great enough to stand with the
lights of history, as Gen. Grant will
stand for all time to come.
''The whole nation is behind this
ceremonial. No American can be
found who is unwilling tosaccord him
honor for his great deeds. Vermont
sends three quarters of her National
Guard to march in the pageant, and
they come mainly at their own ex-
pense. We are glad to honor the
memory of the great SOLDIER

THE SPORTING WORLD.

Years ago William B. Curtis, the vet
#eran athlete, was famous sprinter. He
tells the following story about himself:
|About % years ago he took part in a
hoo yard dash held on the Elysian
Fields, Hoboken. Bill Wood, the well
known athletic instructor, was time
Keeper. In announcing the time Wood
had very serious look on his face. He
announced it as 81 seconds. Curtis
smiled and went back to him, saying,
X" Are you sure that you are right,
Wood?" "Oh, yes, William! You are
running very FAST" he replied. Bill
walked back to the other boys and told
them of the good joke he had ON Pro
|fessor Wood about the time. Since that
day the absurdity of those 81 and 9I
second records has been plain to every
lone. About 20 years after this Bill Cur
tits saw Wood at the CaledOnian games
at Jones' wood, and, being in humor
|Ous frame of mind, he thought he would
/ 90 over and talk to him and recall that
Reiterated race and see if Wood still be-
lieved he did 90 seconds. He felt thor
|pughly convinced that Wood would adj
init his error at such late day. APP

f'Oh, yes, they are. William; running
Very fast "But, Mr.. Wood, do you
|recollect about 90 years ago I ran 100
yards at the Elysian fields, Hoboken, in
B19 seconds? Are you still convinced
That that time was correct?'' Professor
Wood looked Bill squarely in the eye
and replied soberly: William, you
|zvere running every fast that day, very
FAST indeed. New York Sun.

BasebaII's Grand Old Man.

IL ever a man was worthy of trib-
nte to his athletic proves, that man is
Adrian c. Arson. He is a living ex-
ample of what physical training will do
for the human system. 1t is always an
open question as to how old Arson is.
Every one knows that he has been play
Ing baseball for 81 years in the city of
Chicago. Today he is the picture of
health. He does not dissipate. He takes
good care of his body. That's why An
son today is a valuable man. If others
who are champions III their different
lines would follow in Arson s footsteps,
their candles would not burn low, as
they do after "a few years of popularity.

From Detroit comes story, which
we hope is true, about an efficient but
illiterate domestic servant who was
brought into serious but happily not
fatal danger by her undue coniden ce
in the deductive system of rea soning.
This woman, being unable to read,
had long been accustomed to discrim-
mate between the different varieties
canned vegetables which her employ
erer supplied, not by names printed
on the labels, but by the pictures
they bore. This plan served well
enough for kitchen needs, and it was
only when she tried to combine it
with her belief in the homeopathic
doctrine of like cures like that trouble
resulted. The woman suffered from
rheumatism, and one rainy day last
week, when her aches were severe,
the woman came across bottle Ia
beled with few written words and a
print af skull and cross bones. I'M
mediately she reasoned out that the
bottle contained a medicine for COM
planning bones, and she proceeded to
take a heroic dose of it's contents.
Two doctors and a stomach pump
saved the woman's life, but she no
longer sees unity of design in the uni
verse and her trust in logic is gone
forever.
