and having a good lining, will last for .
long time If properly brushed and rebound
around the foot as soon as the edge begins
to wear, and 1t will look we'll as long as II
holds together. For summer a lighter and
more fanciful costume will also be needed

can be afforded, a pretty challie If less ex-
pensive goods are necessary. An all wool,
challie in blue with a white figure or black
with a bright floral design will make a.
very nice looking gown If 1t is properly,
fitted, daintily finished and trimmed with
guipure, plain silk or ribbons. OF course
several wash gowns are necessities, but
lawns and batistes are so cheap now even
in good qualities, that 49,. so will buy
enough for a gown and a multitude Of
ruffles for 1t.

COMPOSING THE TOILET.
Attention Given to the Details Of fasi
ionable Costumes

Attention Given to the Details of Fash
ionable Costumes.
Much as trimming and commentaries
are now employed, the real characterize
of prevailing styles is the minute care
given to all the little details of finishing
and the accessories. General effect is not
considered sufficient, no matter how good
it may be, a plain wooden gown of mex
pensive material, but fitting perfectly and
complete in every little respect, with n
dainty petticoat, pretty boots, gloves
matching the gown and a hat in perfect
harmony, even II not costly, being esteemed
more elegant than a striking and fashion,
able costume carolessly made anu with in
complete adjunots. 1t is very easy to com
pose a toilet now which shall be In har-
mony throughout while not necessitating
any great expense, for there is an i'm
mense variety among accessories, and
gloves, hat, scarf and ruche may easily be
found to go with any gown.
For general wear the woman Of limited
income will find few materials more sery-
iceable than cheviot, as 1t stands rain and
dust and is very durable. 1t comes in all
colors and many qualities-light and fine

WHEN THE STARS FELL.
Meteoric Shower Followed by Season
of Religious Activity.

Meteoric Shower Followed by Season
of Religious Activity.
The recent eclipse was discussed in
o crowd Of old-timers the other day,
and it was unanimously admitted that
whenever anything unusual occurred
in the heavens it impressed the be-
holder more than any other phenome-
non. From the subject of eclipse the
conversation turned to comets and
meteors, and the big shower of falling
stars in November, 1888, was referred
to by one of the takers.
~ remember it," said Colonel
George w. Adair. cat that time 1
was only small boy, but the spec
tacle was one not to be forgotten in
hurry, and the agitation and alarm of
the older people around me impressed
it upon my mind.
1T was the night of November 10,
1888, when the stars fell. 1 was then
living out in the country, in Henry
county, and was fast asleep When the
shower came.
"My father had gone. that night to
n constructing, and knew nothing
about the trouble until he started
home. He was with a friend, named
Jones, a man of religious turn of mind,
and when the stars commenced cutting
up their capers my father was anxious
to reach home as soon as possible.
But Jones was frightened out of his
wits, and got down on his knees by
the side of the road to pray. 1t was
no use reasoning with him. Every
hundred yards or so he collapsed and
dropped on his knees. He had pow
erful voice, and his lamentations and
shouts made the woods ring and added
to the horrors of the night.
''Finally my father got home, and
he lost no time in waking my mother
and myself, / shall never forget the
scene spread out before me when 1
went out into the yard. 1t was indie
scribably grand and awful, and the
heavens seemed to be filed with mil
lions of skyrockets. Streams of fire
rolled in every direction, and the stars,
or meteors, fell like flakes of snow.
Nothing like it had ever been seen
by the people then living, and they
were badly scared. The colored people
set up the most unearthly yells and
howls, and from every cabin might be
heard snatches of prayer and religious
songs. Many of the spectators be-
lieved that the world was coming to
an end, and they were in a frenzy of
terror and excitement.
"The next day everybody felt re-
lieved, but there was very little work
done. Naturally everybody got into
a religious frame Of mind, and for
weeks after the preacher had large
congregations, and crowd of old sim
ners joined the church.
ut was a wonderful sight, and I
never expect to see anything like it
again. Atlanta Journal.

Guides for Beggars,

1t is an interesting proof of the i'm.
portance the begging letter profess
sion has attained that its practitioners
are now provided with specially COM
piled directories containing the names
and addresses of people likely to sue
cumb to their pedatory devices. Some
time ago a Mr.. II. Grant published
in England volume entitled "The
Charitable Ten Thousand" at the
price of one guinea--a mere triae to
begging-letter writer of average
skill and industry. This was so sue
cessful that Grant now announces
that he is bringing out an appendix,
to be called "The Guide to Givers."
and to contain the names and al
dresses of "seyeral thousand addition
oil and living benefactors, collected
with the greatest care"

Remarkable Ear of Corn.

An ear of corn which Patrick Cullen
believes to he worth small fortune is
being carefully preserved by that indi-
vidual, who recently found his prize
on Farmer Upright's place at Merton
square, Montgomery county. To the
ordinary city man there is really moth
ing remarkable about the ear of corn.
Its kernels are not Of solid gold, nor
are there any diamonds concealed
about the cob. Its value lies in the
fact that somewhere at some time or
other some agricultural society offered
areward of $1,000 to any one who
would find perfect ear of corn with
the kernels growing in an uneven
number of rows. 1t has always been
found that the rows are even, say ten,
twelve, or fourteen to cob. This ear
which Patrick Cullen found, however,
shows thirteen rows around the butt
and eleven around the middle of the
cob. Many farmers to whom Cullen
showed his prize assured him that the
ear was as perfect rs it could be, and
that it was really curiosity. Cullen
is now looking for the agricultural So
ciety which offered the $1,000 reward.

in the instrument shows that nerve
may act on muscle, in state of cleo

more than simple molecular vibration.

Theories as to why Birds Eggs Are
COIOred,


The why and wherefore of the colors
of birds eggs has been favorite
theme for speculation, from the quaint
surmisings of Sir Thomas Browne to
the solemn guess work of Shufeldt, in
his ten biological laws explanatory
of the variation in color of the shells
of the eggs in class Aves.' Hewitson
piously concludes that the beauty of
these elegant ard often exquisitely
attractive objects is intended for the
delight of human eyes, hence, as he
says, eggs simply white are put ont of
sight in holes! He also sees in the
larger number of eggs laid by game
birds a provision by q benevolent
Providence for the JOY of the sports
man and the delectation of the epicure.
Next comes a man who assures us that
the colors of eggs are due to the in
fuence of their respective surround
ings on the imagination of the hen
birds-the old story Of Jacobs little
trick on Laban in the matter of young
cattle. This school instances as an
example the red blotches prevalent on
the eggs Of falcons, regarded by It as
a record of the bloody experiences
of the parents; but it does not explain
why the equally rapacious fowls pro.
duce pure white eggs, or the blood
thirsty skuas and shrikes lay greenish
ones. Ernest Ingersoll, in Harper's
Magazine.

-pANcE OF THE STARVING"
An Odd Event Among the Poor of
Hungary.

An Odd Event Among the Poor of
Hungary.
A striking article on the agricultural
condition in Hungary has just been
published in the Neues Wiener Journal,
under the title of THE Dance of the
Starving" From this it appears that
the peasants of the Alfoeld plain have
recently organized number of popular
balls, which have been attended by
thousands. This does not imply that
the people are particularly happy or
prosperous. On the contrary, owing
TO the strike of last summer and the
bad harvest, their condition is one of
great need. The dances are the result
of the bill passed in the Hungarian
rcichstag for regulating the relations
between lard owners and their labor
c.5. inat bill is regarded as excep-
tionally hostile to the latter. For the
laborers, however, liberty of speech and
cf public meeting is so restricted as to
render all gatherings for political pur.
poses practically impossible. Hence
this stratagem of popular balls. 1t is
pointed out that the accounts of these
rc2cact dancing parties are accom-
panied by the news of acts Of pillagc
and strike against taxes, which have
rendered necessary the Intervention Of
the military. The present movement is
Il direct consequence of the harvest
strike of last summer, and of the meas
ures adopted by the government to pre-
vcrt its recurrence. The obnoxious
bill, according to the Neues Wiener
Journal, delivers up the laborer to the
arbitrary discretion of his employer.
emitting the latter to put an end to
the agreement he has entered into, and
to withhold the wages he has agreed to
pay If the laborer should, in his opin-
ion, be socialist agitator. If the Ia
horer, however, should fail to appear
at the time and place appointed, the
employer is empowered to call upon
the authorities to force him to carry
out his contract. The laborer has no
legal remedy against this proceeding.
while the employer is assured of the
cooperation of the authorities in the
event of a strike. Such injustice as
this, as the writer remarks, might con-
vert q strike very easily into a rebel
lion.

AsYLUMs FOR INSANE.

The Sacred Temples of Egypt Were
the First known to History.
The first retreats for the insane men
toned In history were the sacred tenn
pies of Egypt, where the highest devel-
opment of moral treatment was prac-
ticed for the restoration of reason. One
of the earliest notices uf the establish
ment of an asylum for the insane Is in
the life of st. Theodosius, who was born
In the year 423, and died in 500. He es-
tabfished near Bethlehem, a monastery,
to which were annexed three infirm-
aries-one for the sick, one for the
nged and feeble and the other for such
rs had lost their senses-in which all
succors, spiritual and temporal, were
afforded with admirable order, care and
affection. In medieval Christian
times conventual establishments were
used for similar purposes, but with
these exceptions there were no organ
ized asylums for the insane until the
founding of bethlehem hospital. This,
the oldest lunatic asylum in the world
with the doubtful exception of one at
Granada, was originally founded in 1247
as a priory in Bishopsgate, its mother

Revolution In Venezuela.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The state
department has been informed that a
small revolution has broken out al
Valencia, about 200 miles from Caracas,
capital of Venezuela. No details are
given. This is evidently directed
against President Andrade, who was
only few days ago inaugurated as
the successor to President Crespo.
