VIENNA, April 4, 1895.
Lace incrustations are worn to such an
extent that even the wooden street gowns,
and sometimes the tailor-made costumes,
are decorated In this way, and a very ele-
CANT appearance is given to otherwise SIM
pie costumes by the addition of such in
crustatfons.
Our smaller Illustration testifies to this
mode. 1t is made of tan broadcloth, a ma
terial newly revived for spring wear. and is
lined with rose taffeta. The skirt shows
the tight upper part in apron form, and
the full graduated, f1ounce-like lower part
attached to the upper invisibly under a
trimming of narrow gold braid. The same
trimming encircles the hem of the nounce,
which is slightly stiffened by a narrow
band of linen canvas on the inside and ad-
additionally finished by a flounce of taft
feta, which presents very dainty appear
ancc when the skirt is lifted.
The blouse may be made as an outside
garment to be worn over another bodice,
or ii may take the place of the bodice it,
self. IL is made, like the skirt. over lin
ing of rose-colored raffeta, and fits snugly
at the back, while the front falls in the
preferred loose pouch over d narrow vest
of rose-colored crinkled mousseiine de sole.
Four beautiful demonstrations of tan-colored
Russian lace. with gold threads running
through it, form a rever-like decorate
on the front and back. the scrolls almost
meeting over the slightly fuled shoulder
The same incrustations adorn the Medici
collar and the cuffs.
A large. full cravat of rose-colored
crinkled mousseline de sole is at the throat
and the belt may be of gold braid closing
with a handsome buckle of filigree gold
or of tan-colored leather studded With
jewels, or simply of cloth with a decora-
ton of gold braid like that on the skirt
II preferred, the gold braiding on the skirt
may be substituted by several rows Of pip
ings over fine round featherbone, in which
case the interlined stiffening Of canvas may
be omitted.
Proper COlOFs.
For costumes and dresses intended to be
worn in the daytime, the incrustations
should be shown OF much the same tint as
the material on which they are mounted,

FAITH IN THE COOK BOOK.
She Would Not Think of Going Con-
trary to Its Rules.

She Would Not Think of Going Con-
trnry to Its Rules.
From the Indianapolis News
There is a woman in this town who has
unlimited faith in cook books and would not
think of deviating from the recipes given
in them. She recently became interested
in the subject of veal-loaf, and decided to
lay in the necessary supplies to make It,
She read In a recipe that with three pounds
and a half of meat you should use
four pounds Of crackers. This seemed to
be large proportion Of crackers, but as
the book said it, she could not do other
than ask her husband to buy them He
bought five pounds altogether. He had
never bought SO many crackers in his life
before. He thought it would be well TO
order two kinds. The grocer began filling
large sack, until the husband stopped
him and asked if he were mixing the two
KINDS The grocer assured the husband
that the large sack contained only one of
the two kinds of crackers The husband
suppressed his establishment and took two
large sacks of crackers home. Then the
VIE began to operate on faith. A man en-
pioyed about the house broke the crackers
while she busily worked them into the
chopped meat. The mixture got pretty
stiff and took considerable muscle, but
she kept on working, while the man kept
bounding crackers. Finally. when three
and half pounds had been mixed with the
meat in huge roll, the woman, with
some pangs OF conscience, decided that she
would add no more, though the book called
for another half pound. The family all
said that 1t was good eating though some
how 1t was different from veal-loaf that
they had met with at other places. There
was plenty of it, certainly. The wife began
to doubt that cook book as to the propor-
ton of crackers, but before condcmninR
the book, she thought 1T would he we'll Ia
look at the recipe again. She had her hus-
band read 1t TO her. Sure enough, he read
-four pounds Of crackers" She told him
to read 1t again, and read it slow, to see If
there were not a mistake in some of the
other proportions. This time he was very
careful, and then the peculiar cracker
clause took on new aspect. 1t read -four
pounded crackers"

In no country are there more diamonds
to be found than In the United States, &C.
cording to the population. 1t Is estimated
by leading New York diamond dealer that
there are upward Of $500 900 worth Of
dimonds in this country. Moreover, this
vast amount is increasing every year.
Until quite recently diamonds were rarely
cut In this country; but American inventors

abroad.
The loss in weight through cutting Is
soma times fully one-half, but the value u
Increased probably more than twofold
The Dutch city of Amsterdam has been.
the great diamond-cutting center OF tho
world from time fmmemorial, and I'D to a,
few years ago over 1900 people in that
place were directly or Indirectly dependent
upon this trade.
But it was not reasonable to suppose that
Amsterdam should continue to hold a mo-
nopoly Of diamond cutting. As one OF the
greatest importing cities Of the world, New
York gradually offered Inducements to dia-
mond cutters, and an industry has bean
gradually built up there that is now very,
nour1shing and profitable. In 1850 Henry
ID. Morse Of Boston. Mass invented a ma
chine for cutting and polishing diamonds,
and since then improvements have been
made upon II that ara very important. The
foreigners continue to polish their stones
by hand. but in this country machinery IL
largely used. 4
A famous gem expert places the total
value OF all the diamonds in the world at
over H.O00OO0.O00. of which $3.50 600. 600
worth are in the hands of dealers, carried
as stock. All the other diamonds are in the
hands of private individuals and the ques-
ton naturally arises. Who owns them7 This
Is not so easily answered. except in the case
OF large and worid-famous gems.

NO REVISION NOW.
Chairman DlnGley, Author of the Present
Tariff Law, Says the Government VIII
Need All the Money 1t Can Get.

Washington, Nov. 15-The Washing
ton Post states that the war taxes will
not be abolished at the coming short
session of congress, and that there
will be no revision of the tariff what
ever. 1t bases this announcement upon
the positive statement made yesterday
by Chairman Dingley, of the ways and
means committee, who, in an interview,
said:
The government will need for some time all
the revenue produced by the war taxes Dur
ing the month Of October the war expenditures
exceeded the war revenue by some ia, 900, 600
and this month they will be $40 900 900 in ex-
cess This being the case, there will be no
changes at least this fiscal year The war rev.
enue act will continue in force and unchanged,
except, perhaps, in few minor administrative
features for at least year longer. 1t is hardly
necessary to add that there will be no revi-
sion of the tariff. although L have seen
some statements to the effect that such u re-
vision Is contemplated. This session is limited
to three months. he said, and that short period
will be mainly occupied in passing the appro-
priation bills in enacting new laws for the
regular army. and in deciding upon the legiSla-
tiOn necessary for the government of Hawaii
In addition to these important matters, the
usual number of routine matters will arise
From the present outlook, the session will be
well under way before the treaty of peace with
Spain will be laid before the senate and the
ratification of that document may not be ac-
complishcd long before the 4th of March ar
