Toilet and Wardrobe.

Sleeves in all dresses are still being
treated to long cuffs, either pointed or
| rounded, sometimes even reaching be-
yond the knuckles.
A pearl and diamond tiara, raised
very high in front after the new fash
ion, and treated to five splendid pear
shaped pearls of singular luster and
shape, is one Of the most beautiful
things one can see even in this age of
universal excellence.
TIL stay-at-home girl who must FORE
go the luxury of plunges in the sea
should not forget to throw a quantity
of sea salt in the bath tub. Baths, as
frequent as they must be in summer,
are very enervating, and the salt acts
as tonic which counteracts the loss
of energy.
The jet buckles, both in dull and
bright jet, are exceedingly smart and
run close rivals with the dull gilt or
what are known in the solid metal as
Roman gold. These are your choice
of metals and for everyday wear taste
should incline you between the gray
silver and the dull gilt. The jet is
beautiful and ranks next in formality
to the rhinestones.

OUR COOKING SCHOOL,
A Simple Soup NIaigre.

Boil breakfast cup of small haricot
beans-this can be done over night;
next morning pinch off their skins. Cut
up a dozen small spring onions into
half inch lengths; put them into a
pan, with a bit of butter, and stir over
the fire for a few minutes. Pass the
beans through hair sieve; add them
to the onions; pour in a pint and a
half of milk; as it heats dt must not
boiD stir in the beaten yolks OF two
eggs,a seasoning of pepper and salt,and
a spoonful of very finely minced pars-
ley. When very hot, pour into the
tureen, put the whites of the eggs,
whipped to stiff froth, on top, and
serve. It is better If the soup can be
served in plates, with portion Of the
beaten white floating on each. Remem-
Der, this soup is utterly spoiled If it is
allowed to boil.

An Automatic Train-Stopper.

Among recent inventions is devics
by which the air brakes of railroad
train can be applied from the track, as
the train passes, without the interven.
ton Of tina engineer. The air-brake
system is coDnected with lever con-
trolling rent in the train-pipe, and
attached to the truck at the forward
end Of The locomotive. On passing
over an obstruction, placed on the
track for the purpose, the lever is tilt
ed and the vent opened, thus letting
the air into the brakes. The engineer
can reset the lever from his place in
the cab.

That Mako Use Of Hotels for Their
Private Business.
"You would be surprised" said a
hotel clerk the other night, Ito know

,moters and curbstone brokers use our
They make all their appointments here,
and when a prospective victim turns
up they head him into a quiet corner
and transact their business as COM
fortably as they could in a suite In an
Office block. There's an old chap by
the door who has been using the house
"a his own for several years, and to my
certain knowledge he has never spent
a penny under its roof. He has sew
eral agencies and patent rights, and
now and then he succeeds in getting a
farmer on the string. The countryman
supposes, Of course, that he lives here.
and is duly impressed by his surround
ings. The old fellow takes him into
the writing room, and IL it isn't quiet
enough there he doesn't hesitate to ad-
1ourn to one Of the parlors. That's no
unusual case, either. During the fore
part Of last carnival week one Of these
promoters actually took possession of
q private parlor with couple Of ell
ents, and barred out number OF
guests until they could conclude their
conference Formerly such gratuitous
tenants had their mail addressed to the
house, and called for it at all hours OF
the day and night, but we thought that
was carrying the joke bit too far,
and put stop to it. 1t may be said
without the slightets exaggeration that
there are between thirty and forty men
in New Orleans who make their Offices
regularly in the different hotels, and as
far as know, not one of them has ever
been a guest. They are tolerated be-
cause we don't want the reputation OF
being mean, and don't care to take
chances on offending any of their
friends, who might be bona fde pa
trons."

Gently pinned on his breast. In the
course of hostilities with the tribes
men on the northwestern frontier, a
brother private named Matthews fell
to the ground with a bullet in his
shoulder. The mountaineers were
pressing so hardly at the time that no
one could attend to the wounded SOL
der at the moment. By-and-by the
foe was beaten back, and Purvis and
his mates picked up the poor fellow.
Just then the hillsmen began firing
again upon the little group, and Mat
thews was hit second time. In spite
of every obstacle Purvis and his COM
rades carried the wounded man, now
unconscious, within the British lines,
but the brave private died the same

A WOMAN'S TRAITS.

Can Be Read by the Lines About Her
Mouth.
A certain philosopher declares that a
woman is known by her mouth. Not
by the words that issue therefrom, but
by the shape and color of the lips, and
the lines and dimples that gather about
this important feature. He is sup
ported in his theory by physiogno-
mists, who all endeavor to impress us
with the fact that no woman with the
small, red Tipped Cupid bow" mouth.
so praised in song and story, was ever
intellectual or generous of heart, and
says Woman's Life, 1t is consoling to
those whose mouths are not in accord
ance with the lines of beauty laid down
by the poets to be told that wide,
straight mouth, with strong, white
teeth" denotes the woman of superior
intelligence, goodness OF heart, strength
OF mind, and a thousand and one other
sterling qualities which we all like to
think we possess. 1t is the fashion
at present to hold the lips very slight
ly apart. This is supposed to give that
innocent, wistful, wonderful expression
which was the peculiar properties Of
the heroines Of old-fashioned novels,
but which bicycle riding and kindred
modern amusements have caused to
vanish. 1t is difficult for the thin
Tipped, determined woman to acquire
this trick, but perseverance works won

Let the HObOes Out.

A freight train pulled into station
on the Boston and Maine recently, and
a ventriloquist on the platform thought
he would have some sport, SO he threw
his voice under the car. saying: Let
me out; let me out" The station agent
was called, and he fastened to unfas-
ten the door of car After working
for time, he got the door open and
out walked four tramps, all of whom
disclaimed having asked to be let out.
The ventriloquist had builded better
than he knew, and had stepped upon
the ride of the four hoboes, who were
left behind.

New York, March 3.--R. q. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
The business for the past month was
far the greatest ever known in Febru-
ary. Clearing house exchanges were
about $1,000 000, 000 against $685., 553.S4
last year ana ji2 larger than in 1872.
In all the years of weekly commercial
reporting there has been no other week
in which the reports from all parts of
the country have been on the whole
so good as they are this week. More
over, during the past week there has
been a general advance in wages, Inn
mediate or prospective. At most points
the advance of 10 per cent or more
was entirely voluntary. 1t has aver
aged : to 10 per cent. in tin plate works
and about 10 per cent. in other cases,
aud as it affects much over 100000
hands ii will add greatly to the pur-
chasing power of the wage earners.
The returns of failures in February,
while showing larger liabilities than in
January, are highly encouraging. y
rather unusual number of large fail
ures IN scattered branches of manufac-
ture has swelled the aggregate. includ-
ing one concern for $l,000,000 in cleo
trical apparatus. but in nearly all
branches the statement indicates n re-
markablv healthy condition in spite of
these failures. while in trading the de-
faultcd liabilities are smaller than in
January or any previous winter months
for six years
In prices the striking feature has
been the rapid advance in iron and
steel products, resulting from demand
greater than the works in the country
can supply. All works of Importance
have been CrOwding with orders run
ming to July l or later. But belated
buyers have given life to concerns long
inactive and as these can add but little
to the output the markets have been
entirely controlled by the buying de-
mand.
