RIBBONS TO BE PROMINENT.
This Authority Says Fall Millinery
Is to Be DecI<ed Out in
Bright COIOrs.

1t is by no means an unimportant fea-
ture of the latest creations that the
trimming often includes ribbons.
Ihere is every probability that these
are about to take a signal revenge for
the neglect in which they have been
held throughout more than two sea-
sons. The ribbon manufacturers are
chiefly responsible for this reaction.
Their new productions, brought out for
late summer and autumn, are in all
ways admirable, and deserve patronage.
In the first rank stand the warp-printed
lowered ribbons, mostly shown in pom.
padour and other delicate combinations
OF color on white or very light grounds,
and edged with plain bands or else
fringed. Others, also with light
grounds, and printed in the same way.
with bouquets of field flowers and
wheat ears, fruits, flowers or foliage
are interviewer with lines of black scor,
ing the design lengthwise. Plain rib,
bons are sometimes divided into bands
OF two colors or shades, with a fringe
on one or both edges. Those with mar.
row bands of open work are in much
-request. They are made in ribbons OF
different teXtures-pongee, foulard,
fetas meryeilleuX-and are self colored
In the lighter textures they have more
the appearance of bands of material
with fancy hemstitched borders than
ribbons.
A capeline exhibited is trimmed with
this sort of ribbon, which forms bow
in front of the crown and is then passed
through the straw over the ears and
tied under the chin. Black ribbon vel
vet is used for the trimming quilting
that surrounds the edges of the crown
and brim This is in much request in
all widths, while other ribbons. plain
and figured, are shown only in me,
dium-wide and wide widths. As in
the case of feathers, now and again
the brush comes into play, and plain or
shaded ribbons are touched up with
body color. Milliners also (this work is
generally accomplished by them)
sketch out simple outline patterns on
the ribbon and then stitch down loulou
straw braids upon it. a special sort of
pencil is provided for the purpose.
These complicated practices, however,
are seldom worth the time and trouble
devoted to them, which, of course. must
be reckoned at in the price of the hat.
After all, handsome figured ribbon
gives usually far more satisfaction

Wants Dem Presents Back.

4 curious ease will ccme before the
law courts shortly. Some weeks ago a
young doctor and a girl of 1 8 put an end
to their lives in one of the suburban ho-
tells of Vienna. Having no money left
they bequcathed their jewelry. which
they described as ''imitation," and Il
watch and chain specified as Of Abyssin-
ian gold to the chambermaid who wait
ed on them. The latter, not at all de-
lighted with this worthless and i'll
omcned tinery, handed il over to one Of
her subordinates. Then followed the
discovery that the trinkCts. so far from
being counterfeit, were genuine. and
OF the coStiiest description, their value
amounting to no less than G 900. Re-
morse not unnaturally overlook the
original legatee, VINO had so recklcssly
parted with her bequest, and she has
entered an action against her friend to
recover the goods or their worth on the
ground that the gift was made through
gnoranCe.--London Chronicle.

the firing had ceased. One night Reube
was caught trying to work his way
through the federal picllets. 1t was
called attempted desertion to the enc
my, and was looked upon as a serious
case until he entered into explanations.
1t is hardly believeable, and yet he was
trying to make his way into the coz.
federate lines to have talk with Danl
and try and bring him over. When he
was set at liberty his story was known
to 10000 federals on that front, and it
was: Hey, Reube!" and: You thar,
Dan'l!" up and down the lines for many
days.
The blamed IDIOT" Reube would ex-
claim as he looked across the confed-
crate lines. ''You Jest wait till | git
him in my clutches! lie never did
know huff to come in when it rained
but to go and jine the rebels and shoot
his own brothers cap off shows that he
ought to be hammered till he can't hol-
Ter. Oh, you wait! I'll git my paws on
him before this thing is over!'
Dan'l probably had something to say
in the same vein, and so it went until
the Sunday we broke through Lees
lines and brought about the beginning
of the end. Our regiment had the honor
of the advance with several others, and
it was a good fight the enemy made be-
fore we pushed his thin lines back. We
had been moved five miles to take part
in this attack, and there was not one
chance in a thousand that the regiment
to which Reube's brother belonged
would be in front of us. All through
the fighting, however, Reube looked for
him. He. closely scanned every pris-
oner passing us to the rear, and as we
pushed on from one field-worll to an
other, driving out the ragged and half
starved men who had held them so long
and so brayely, Reube would occasion
ally growl to himself:
'Durn that Danl's miserable hide.
but why don't he show up? He knows
I'm lookin' fur him, and he knows how
Eli make his heels crack when ! find
him, but he ought to show up and hev
it over with"
III was when the last stand was made
on our front. There were fifteen min
utes of fierce fighting, and then we
raised a cheer and dashed forward and
over a field-work. \ hundred confed-
crates flung down their muskcts and
threw up their ha1 is, and as we were
fairly among them Reube uttered a
whoop heard by haf the company.
Next instant he flung down his musktt
and sprung upon prisoner in gray,
and the two went rolling over and over
on the ground in rough-and-tumble
fight The troops were fighting yet to
right and left, and a portion of our
own command was pressing forward,

him in the darkest night. 1t began
raining soon after he and a cOmrade
had reached the pit, and the man soon
began the old TRADE against Danl.
Here | am in rain and mud, and
half starved and likely to be shot, and
it's all on his account" he shouted.
'Durn him, but I'd give yoke of oxen
to git my paws on him fur ten minits!
I'll find him sooner or later, and then
won't he wish he had never bin born.''
He went on in that vein for about
five minutes, and he had only stopped
for breath and to think up some new
cuss-words, when a voice from the
confederate pit shouted out:
Say, now, but shuck my hide if l
don't know the tritter what owns that
voice."
'Who be you over thar" called Reu-
ben, as he half started up.
I'm DanI"
''You don't mean it,"
"Of course [ do, and you are Reube.
I'd know that voice of yours if l heard
it in Chiny. Say, old man, how ar
ye?"
I'm well huff and powerful mad.
What did You go'n turn rebel fur and
make all this trouble? You hain't got
no decency about you, Danl Hard
mani"
"I'm as good as q Yank!" called
Dan1.
you amt either! Jest lemme git
holt of you and I'll I ';c you sing a
different time! | want yen to come
right ovel here and surrender and be-
have yourself!"
Il wont do it,"
Well, there was the mystery. Reube
and Danl were brothers and in oppos-
ing armies. Their conversation in the
rifle-pits was heard by a score of men
on either side, and first one side would
cheer and then the other. When there
was a break in the talk a confederate
would shout across:
'Hey thar, Reube-come over to the
house and see Danl'
"You bad boy, Dan'l; come home and
be licked" a federal would shout in
answer, and for a couple of hours the
firing from half dozen rihe-pits was
suspended.
When he took his second trick in the
pit he was so eager to reopen COM
munication that he exposed his head
and a bullet sent his cap flying ten feet
away.
'Durn your hide, but w1s that you,
Dan'l!" he shouted, as he crouehed
down. Eyes, I'll bet it was. You hain't
got no more sense in your head than
to go and shoot at your own brother,
though you couldn't hit barn ten feet
9way!"
"That you, Reube?" called Danl.
''Of course it's me! What you akin
sich silly questions fur"

Entered by Burglars.

Mr. VIM Edwards, of w. Burke street,
awoke Monday morning to find all the
money that had been left in his pockets
the day before missing. Mr.. Edwards can
give no account for the way he lost the
money, other than some one entered the
house during the night and went through
his pockets. There was about eight dol
lars in pocketbook and about the same
amount in loose change in another pocket
and all is gone. SO, he says, he couldn't
have lost il.
Mr.. Edwards feels almost certain that
the house was-entered by robbers during
the night. The side gate was found open
in the morning and things on the porch
were not in the same position they were
leftin the evening before. The burglars
seemed to have been only after. money, as
nothing but the money in Mr.. Edwards
poe kets was disturbed.

Never say to your friends that YOU are
as tired in the morning as at night. If

Hoods Sarsaparilla cures that tired feel
ing,
DO not say, "My face is full of PIN
pies" You are quite likely to be told by
some one, There's no need of that, for
Hood ySarsaparilla cures pimples.
1t is improper and unnecessary to say,
my health is poor and my blood is bad. !

blood, and good health will follow as a
natural consequence.
