FASHION MOTIFS.

The silk waist, as O set-off and com.
plement of separate skirt of some
handsome description, has taken ar
other lease of life.
A woman In black has the satisfac.
ton of knowing she is never conspicu-
Gus unless every one else in the room
wears red, green or yellow.
Most of the new tucked evening
gowns of gauzy material have rows of
handsome lace insertion between, and
this forms an exceedingly pretty ad-
dition.
An applique Valenciennes on a ten
inch net, ut low price, provides one
of tho handsomest cheap lace trim
mings, which looks OF better value than
we have had for long time.
With many of the new velvet boleros
and jacket bodices will be worn lovely
broad collars of Venice point, point

broidered In quaint and beautiful
Flemish or renaissance patterns
Fawn colors, silvers grays and soft
nuns grays with touch of cream in
them appear among the fall sample

taffetas, liberty satins, lustrous corded
silks, mohairs, alpacas and sheer silk

seems to give a bulky effect, it IL con

front, makes q pretty gown, and the
vest, belt and collar should be Of vic

and jabot end falling over the vest.

WOMAN MORE HONEST THAN MAN.

1t has often been noted that women
are more honorable in money matters
than men, and that it far less rare to
have a small loan paid back by n wo-
man than by man. This fact again
appears to us to be fully explained
by the trustee theory of woman
attitude toward money. Women s.
are not honester in other things than
men, but the notion of money being n
trust overrides and dominates her other
considerations. The man who borrows
is very apt to forget all about the mat
ter. Tho woman who borrows feels
that n double trust runs with tho
money and sbo cannot rest till she has
repaid 1t. No doubt there are here
also many exceptions, because there
are many bad women. But mt least it
is safe to say that women are far less
careless about money matters than
men, and therefore less likely TO com.
nit tho small acts of pocuninry dis
honorableness which come from negii-
gence. Take it MS n whole women are
more careful about money matters
than men and attach more importance
to money. Honco it happens that they
never make great fortunes, seldom 20
bankrupt and generally are rather
more scrupulous than men m small
peouniary transactions. The Specta.

RECEIPT, OF PRODUCE.
He WOULD NOT DENY 1T.
Startling Charge, in Which a Judge
Admits u Great Deal.

Startling Charge, in Which Judge
Admits u Great Deal.
A Federal Judge lately charged a jury
in liquor case as follows, says Lease and
Comment: 'In later years there seems
to have been a disposition to deny or ig-
more judicial knowledge as to what con-
stitutes Intoxicating liquors and the
courts have manifested a desire to dis
avow any judicial knowledge on this SUBJ
ject. at the same time some of the courts
have not hesitated to impute to juries an
extensive knowledge and inform alton in
this regard. This court, however, will
follow the precedent established by the
decision of Chancellor Walworth upon
this subject, and will assume Judi
cial knowledge concerning Intoxicating q
liquors. In trial in the State of
Wisconsin, where the question arose in
1888, the trial Judge declared that a man
must be almost driveling idiot who did
not know what beer was, and that it was
not necessary TO prove it TO be an intoxi-
eating liquor.
Later the Supreme Court of that State
in passing on the charge of the trial, the
Judge declared that his rulings in the case
upon this question were not only clearly
correct, but If mis- peculiar manner gave
them force and EN- phasis it was not only
proper but commendable. This court,
therefore, will neither otultify itself nor
impeach its own veracity by telling you
that it has not judicial knowledge that
the liquor commonly known as whisky
is an intoxicating liquor, or that the drink
commonly called a whisky cocktail, is
an Intoxicating drink.
