BIRTH OF A FASHION PLATE

cipal items Of expense 10 lady Of old
Italy used to be the retainer" she paid
TO a Da Ninci, a Bramante, or some
other artist Of note, TO furnish her with
a design for her court and other dresses
OF ceremony, says Self-Culture.
To-day some one who can draw is
given an idea by a costumer-that is, by
some one who has made or cut dresses
under some other costuner's tetelage.
Neither one has studied or cares aught
for art, proportion, harmony, or the
other superfiuities; they are cos
tuners; what have they to do with
such details? A wonderful semblage
of ideas is the result, a confectiOn in
silks, satins, chiffons and laces. These
ideas and materials are beautifully and
painfully drawn upon paper and draped
upon an alleged female figure at least
seven feet tall, with head slightly
turned, auburn hair, sylphlike waist,

palms and ferns.

Every woman, or rather, nearly every
woman, studies it, admires it, and, be
she lean or fat, tall or short, her next
dress must be like that. Pehchance her
dressmaker has not signed her soul
away entirely and protests feebly that
that special style is not adapted to her
patrons particular figure; but for her
effrontery she may lose a customer.
That dress has TO be made in that way
and in none other.

A MORAL TRIBE.
Among the Caribs of Central America
All Sins Are Punished by
Starvation.

In the whole wide world there Is not
a class of people to be found who in
fict severer punishment upon them
selves than the Caribs of Central Amer
lea. Their religion, which is one of
the most peculiar kind, demands self
punishment for sins Intentionally or
unintentionally committed, says Pear
sons Weekly.
The punishment takes the form of
starvation and close confinement.
If the sin be in the form of lie, no
matter whether it is calculated 10 In
iure another or not, the sinner goes
without either food or drink for three
days, at the end of which il Is be-
lieyed that the offender has paid the
penalty for his or her sin.
Blaspheming and using bad language
is punishable by absolute starvation for
two days. Assault, drunkenness and
other serious sins call for four days
starvation for one week, three days
starvation for the second week, and
two days starvation for the third week,
and one days starvation in the fourth
week.
All sins are punished with starvation.
For that reason crime is very low
among the Caribs, who are among the
best behaved and most truthful people
In the world.

Immense Crons.

Women are working In the harvest
fields Of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
southern Minnesota and South Dakota,
not because they are driven to work
Of this kind by sheer necessity, but be-
cause the haryests are great and the
male laborers are few and high-priced.
The girls, women and boys of the coun-
try districts and small towns who are
willing to 90 into the fields receive two
dollars a day. The mothers, wives, sis
ters and sweethearts of the farmers
are helping with a will; aged people
and young children are welcome to
take a hand-any sort of labor that
offers itself can find employment at
good wages, but still thousands of acres
Of grain are being neglected. Aside
from the immensity of the crops, says
a Chicago paper, two other factors have
contributed toward bringing about
shortage in the supply Of farm labor.
Great railway enterprises are being
prosecuted throughout the northwest
and these have well-nigh drained the
usual surplus supply Of workers.
Again, this is the wettest harvest that
the northwest has known for years.
While the rains were fervently prayed
for and welcomed, and while they are
still Of inestimable value throughout
a large section Of the corn belt, they are
seriously interfering with the gather
ing Of the ripened crops. This means
doubling the work while the sun shines.
The small-grain crop has been seriously
damaged, but the yield is 30 bountiful
that the loss will hardly be felt.

In making their monthly inspection
Of the books a queer assortment Of ar
tlcles was found by the librarians Of
one Of the big public libraries in Phil
adelphia. Among the articles were all
kinds Of biils-grocery bills, gas bills,
and the like; hairpins and hair orna-
ments Of every description, design and
material; love letters galore, locks Of
hair. bits Of lace, dress samples and
watch chain charms; pen and ink, PEN
ell and crayon sketches; postal orders
and postage stamps. There were many
photographs. besides an insurance pol
icy. The latter was claimed by the
owner. Another queer use is made Of
the books. One enterprising medicine
firm had an agent visit the library once,
and under the pretence of looking at
the books slipped circular in each
one.

The average duration Of yellow fever
is a week, but in graver cases the attack
may be precipitate and prove speedily
fatal. There Is usually an initial chill,
headache, pains In the back and limbs
and slight increase Of temperature. In
exceptional cases the thermometer In
the mouth will register from 100 to los
degrees, as in other feyers, but more
often the body heat is but little ele-
waited and In some cases Is lowered.
After a few days-two or three-the
temperature subsidies and the symp-
toms abate. Tie patient may consider
himself well, and, indeed, in abortiye
cases, the disease terminates at that
point. In most instances, however, a
recrudescence follows and may be ac-
companied by delirium and black
vomit.

at the success Of a rogue In swindling
40 lawyers. His mode Of operating was
to retain lawyers to prosecute railroad
companies for fictitious personal in
juries, agreeing to divide the proceeds,
and on the strength Of such retainer
to borrow small sums of money. Cheat
ing a lawyer is regarded as a remark
able feat of ingenuity, much as the
Yorkshire wagner regarded the feat

in thrashing a schoolmaster who was
famous for fogging his pupils. The
honest WAGNER gave Nicholas a guinea
