Evidently tea gowns are to be the
correct house gown this coming winter,
and are most graceful in design, and
made of the most expensive materials.
There does not seem to be any unal-
terable law as to the fabrics used for
tea gowns, but any thing that is becom-
ing, will hang we'll, and make up eff
fectively, lis considered fashionable.
One exceedingly smart gown is made
of crinkled crepe-white, tight fitting,
and with folds crossed over the bust
and fastened at the left side, so that
the fronts leave V-shaped open
ing at the throat. The fronts are
trimmed with pleatings of pink satin
ribbon, and the entire gown is lined
with pink silk; at the back, starting
from the shoulders, are two long Wat
teau pleats of the crepe that are put
into the seams at the sides. Another
gown of lowered silk, made from an
old ball gown, is cut open in front,
showing petticoat OF tucked white
lawn and entre-deux of Valenciennes
lace. The tight-ftting sleeves are of
the lace, with high collar faced with
the lace. A girdle of silk, with tasseled
ends, fastened at either side, is tied
in front, and the ends fall to the foot
of the skirt. t.-Harper's Bazaar.

Is 1t Coming to Thise

1t has not been the fashion for girls
to wear earrings for a great many
years past, and most of them have
never had their ears pierced. The
grandmothers and aunts, mothers and
older sisters have even forced prom
ises from them not to have holes made
in their ears for the sake of vanity,
pleading and arguing that they might
as we'll wear rings in their noses as
we'll as their ears. But Dame Fash
ion holds very powerful sway over
young women of all ages, as-l she
says: "Girls, You must have your ears
pierced, and you must wear long,
dropping earrings as your grand
mothers did, who now cry me down
and say nay" So the girls ere obey
ing, and it does look funny to see
them with their ears tied up with bits
of string, like little girls of long ago.
The latest fad in ear-ringsis success
sion of precious stones, five or six
generally, hung from tiny loops of
gold, and graduated from a very small
stone which fits close against the ear
to larger ones. -Harper's Bazaar.

A Discovery in a Menagerie.

An amusing incident was witnessed
in a certain menagerie the other day.
Here and there between the cages a
number of the well-known trick
mirrors were placed. An Irishman,
after critical survey of the monkeys,
had wandered away from his better
half, and suddenly found himself in
front of one of these mirrors. Aftel
one glance at his distorted reflection
he rushed back to his wife, who was
still watching the antics of the mon
keys.
Come away, wild yer, Bridget" he
exclaimed. "Oi've found bigger
trate than that-the ugliest baste in
the show. He's in little cage in the
corner"
Bridget offered no objections. Two
or three of the bystanders who had
heard Patsy's remark were equally
anxious to obtain peep at the "ugliest
baste," and there was quite a process
sion to the 'little cage in the corner. "
Patsy, as the original discoverer, Sc
cured first place and dragged his wife
in front of the mirror. To his aston
ishment there was more in the "cage"
than he expected.
"Begorra, Bridget" he suddenly
exclaimed, ''there's a pair av emp

Beer as n Beverage.

We are surprised to note that some OF
ihe foreign insurance journals have been
copying the absurd conclusions OF one J.
rhomann, In Il pamphlet recently published
in New York, to show by statistical figures
that "beer Is the healthiest drink known"
That writer declares, as the result OF his
Investigations, that the "risks incurred In
insuring the lives of habitual beer drink
ers are lees by forty per cent. than the Or
dinary risks of such transactions" Tho.
mann simply proves what he did not start
out to prove, that the robust men en-
ployed in the breweries, who drink from
forty to llfty glasses of beer dlily, remain
in robust health for some years by virtue
of their large amount OF vital force and
tenacity; not by virtue OF beer, but In spite
of it.
We have closely watched the heavy beer
drinkers In this community with reference
to their mortality ratio for more than
twenty years, and our observations show
that out OF every hundred who saturate
themselves In this immoderate way not
more than FIVE pass the age OF fifty-three.
Those that escape Bright's disease or
urRmic poisoning become victims OF cir
rhosis or fatty degeneration or erysipelas
or apoplexy. One or other OF these fatal
diseases invariably gives the finishing
touch to the splendid physique" about
which Thomann rants long, before the pe-
riod OF natural expectation. II beer,
drinkers choose to swlll their favorlte
beverage, that Is one thing: but II they are
led by Thomann's lying statistics into the
belief that beer will prolong their lives, or
that life companies can be fooled into the
acceptance OF walking beer barrels as
healthy risks, that Is quite another.-Baltl-

Six out OF every 100 of the population Of
England are made paupers by drink.
Even for the sake of temporal prosperity
alone, no young man can afford to be o
frequenter Of the saloons.
The cause OF temperance has been to
many famous Americans the inspiration
that started them upon public career.
The first speech that Abraham Lincoln
ever made In public was a defence OF total
abstinence before Washington society.
The most lucrative employments are
those OF the greatest responsibility, and
these are given generally to sober men, in
many cases to total abstainers exclusively.
The amount of grain wasted in making
liquor would provide each family in the

A drunkard is lost in the esteem OF every
decent man, and IL he is dependent on
others ior employment, he is lost out Of
sight.
Last years British drink bill footed up
t740, ,000,0 ,000.' This would make a row Of
sovereigns 1850 miles long. It is equal to
the whole amount spent In bread, butter
and cheese.
A young man, more or less addicted to
drink, is at best very doubtful character,
and no business man will trust him. A
sober man is always preferred, and many
an employer, having gathered wisdom
from sad experience, will employ total
Rbstainers only.

The Diet of Business Women.


An eminent physician in one of our
large cities has been making inquiries
as to the diet of business women, and
comparing it with that of men in sim
liar positions. He makes some valu-
able suggestions as to the result of his
investigations, and gives utterance to
some criticisms on the habits and man
agement of the women themselves.
"The fact is" he says, "three-quar-
ters Of the women who board them
selves are about half starving them
selves. Not that they deliberately and
with malice aforethought neglect meal
time or refuse to eat fair amount of
food, but they will not take the trouble
to cook dishes suitable for them. 1

the thirty employed in one large house
who frankly admitted that they never
cooked a. hearty meal for their own
eating. They claimed that they felt
quite we'll on diet of bread and but
ter and coffee or tea, with an occa-
sional piece of cake or a pie. Fruit
in the season is quite frequently used,
but at other times it is too costly for
women of moderate means or those
who earn but small salaries"
1t seems an impossible problem to
handle, but In some way there must
be an arrangement by which women
can club together and, by uniting
forces, live admirably and under much
more healthful conditions than those
which at present exist.-New York

When Hiram Maxim, the inventor

story of an experience in England
with an alleged bullet-proof cuirass,
the secret of which was offered to the
British Government for about $780,
900 in American money. During the
test of the garment" Mr.. Maxim
asked permission to try an experiment
himself, and, placing piece of paper
in front of the cuirass, fred through
1t. The projectiles "splashed" out
against the paper, proving to the in.
ventor that the bullet-proof quality
vas given by strip of steel. He
then published a paper denouncing
the cuirass, and incidentally stating
that he had discovered the secret and
improved upon it, and he would sell
the secret for $1.75. Asked what he
meant, he explained that his cuirass
weighed but ten pounds, the other
twelve; his contained a strip of steel
thinner than that of the regular in
vention. n.-Worcester (Mass.) Gazette.

Tho origin Of the Cuban Flag.

Fidel G. Pierra, writing to Profes-
sor O. B. Galbreath, of the Ohio State
Library, gives the following explana-
ton of the origin of the Cuban flag:
"The Cuban flag dates back to about
1850 or 1851, 1t has a Masonic orr
gin, and hence the triangle. The red
field is the emblem of war. The pur-
pose of the movement here in the
United States was to conquer the ISL
and. Southern people, fighting Ma
sons, were the leaders. The three
blue stripes represented the three de-
partments into which the island was
then divided. The white stripes were
put, 1 believe, merely to divide the
blue. The intention of the Southern
people who were interested in the
scheme was to make three States out
of the island.
'The star which appears in the red
field has more remote origin. twas
the lone star of Texas. In New Or
leans, at about 1850. there existed the
Association of the Lone Star. They
assisted Narciso Lopez with money
and in other ways when he invaded
Cuba in 1851, and he adopted the flag
of the association, l suppose, out OF
gratitude.
"When Carlos Manuel de Cespedes
began the revolutionary movement of
1868, he had another flag, but the peo-
pie of Puerto Principe and Santa Clara
raised the present flag, which was
finally adopted as the Cuban national
flag when the first constituent assem-
bly, came together IN 1869. ."-Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune.
