Tinted note paper is again in fashion.
More than this, the smartest papetrie
is deliberately decorated, and the quail
ty of the paper itself has been radical
~ changed for the autumn-winter
trade. Cadet gray, French blue, Yale
blue and gray green papers, that have
always been popular, as well as the
bank note, cream laid, kid and linen
finishes, are all quite out of the run
ming today. The correspondence sup
plies now come in pastel or the deeper
autumn tones, having cartridge and
burlaps finish.
The pastel tinted sheets are cut quite
small indeed. 1t IS an evidence of
good taste just now to use small sized
paper for letters as well as notes, and
all the stamping is done in very small
script or old English lettering. Furi-
ously as the black letter fashion ragged,
it has with unexpected suddenness
been dropped from general use. and it
is a prevailing notion to have the adj
dress stamped across the upper corners
Of the sheets and at the left hand side.
The dating must be given at the con-
clusion of the missiye and monograms
and crests are rarely or never seen on
anything but engraved invitations.

nnnnna In SILK.

For some years Japan has inundated
the markets of the world with her
squares of stuff called foullousas,
which are used to wrap up the presents
sent to friends in that country, and
Europeans have not heSitatcd TO make
of them brilliant ornamental designs
for modern furniture. In cushions,
screens. etc, they introduce a charm
ing freshness. flight of birds,
swarm of butterflies amid brilliant
flowers, giving the eye a vague dream
of cheerful light, of fancies and sum
mers that have no end.
But words can only family evoke an
idea Of what !heSc poems in silk really
are. 1t sometimes takes ten years to
finish one of these pictures 1t makes
one think Of the embroideries Of the
"Kiug's House" in days of old, who
STYLED themselves "enISroiderers and
painters.' II is the same obscure and
anonymous labor as that of the arti-
sans of the middle ages, who have be-
qucathed to posterity marvellous litur-
gical embroideres and sublime cathe-
drals.
one would really say that embroid-
cry had revived in the country of its
origin, Asia. But instead of returning
to the land of its cradle it has followed
the general evolution toward the north
and taken refuge in Japan. No matter
where these silks are placed, they are
delight TO the eye, symphony in
lines, poem in colors, and our frail
modern art furniture harmonlzes splen-
didly with the mural hangings of an
art so intense and so Exchange.

During the first half of the eight
eenth century one of the members for a
southern constituency was expelled
from the house of commons for forgery
and indeed endured the purgatory of
standing in the pillory for day. He
was man of unctuous piety, aud his
career in many respects resembled that
of Jabez Balfour in later days After
bis death the following prayer was
found in his own handwriting among
his papers:
30 Lord, thou knowest that | have
nine houses in the city of London and
that | have lately purchased an estate
in fee simple in the county of Essex.
beseech thee to preserve the two coun-
ties of AIiddlesex and Essex from fire
and earthquake, and as | have a mort
gage in Herefordshire | beg of thee to
have an eye of compassion also on that
county, and for the rest of the counties
thou mayest deal with them as thou art
pleased. Give prosperous voyage to
the Mermaid, because | have not in
sured her, and enable the bank to meet
their bills. st. James Gazette.

Prudent women are now having their
winter furs put in order. Provdent
women can cleanse their furs at home
by applying bran to them. The bran
should be heated in an oven, and when
quite hot it should be rubbed well into
the fur with piece of flannel. After
it has remained in the fur for several
hours the garment should be thorough
ly shaken to remove all particles and
brushed until thoroughly clean. 1t is
often necessary to apply the bran twice

The University Of Rochester opened
to women this fall. Two years ago
the trustees Of the university agreed to
admit women on condition that $780,
600 to offset the cost of the experiment
should be raised. subsequently the
sum required was reduced to $4,000.
The morning of the last day of grace
dawncd. ana the women pushing the
cause of education Mt Rochester lack
ed $4,000 Of the amount necessary to
succeed. Then Susan l.. Anthony arose
heroically TO the rescue She subscrib-
ed $4,000 and the balance she collected
in person just in time to save women
from being debarred from the univer-
sity for another year.

women MT the Polls.

The fact that there was lighting on
election day among the men of Den
yer is promptly seized upon by eastern
papers as an argument against letting
women vote The Boston Herald says:
1--WE do not mean that disturbances
would not have occurred in Colorado if
the men only had been permitted to
vote, but it is clear that the partici-
pancy of the women in political mat
tiers has not produced that ameliora-
ton of partisan asperity which it is
sometimes assumed would follow
To Judge of this, we must know
what the political conditions were in
Colorado before women voted Con
gresham Shafroth, in public address
delivered In Washington about two
years ago, said: Il have seen the time
when a political convention without a
disturbance and the drawing Of weap-
ons was rare. That time is past in
Colorado. and it is due TO the presence
of women" What was formerly the
rule has now become the exception.
In the old times there were disturb
ances in almost every city. At this
election there was a disturbance in
only one city and that under peculiar
~ aggravating conditions 1t is not
charged that any woman took part in
the riot.
Let us reverse the case. Suppose
that in one Of the states where both
men and women vote several hundred
women had engaged In free fight ON

Easy Way to Fish.

There is fish that frequents in large
numbers the shallow seas off the shores
of northwest America from San Fran
cisco to Sitka that loses its life through
leaplng too readily. Whenever it is
alarmed it bounds out of the water.
Now, there are few better students Of
nature than the Indians of the Pacific
coast, who take advantage of this fool
ish habit to get food without working
hard for it. When they see the great
shoals of fishes swimming near the
surface of the water, they get out their
canoes and beat the water with the
paddles, uttoring hideous yells the
while. Terrified out of their small
wits, the fishes jump up into the air
and fall into the canoes by the bum
dred. The Indians also capture them
by the net and spear.

The United States are all right In
respect to the education of women.
Great Britain lags n little behind, but
she is trying to catch up. France is
giving her women the best possible
opportunities in this direction. In the
French institutions for what is called
the higher education there were en-
rolled in 1880 1000 women and in 1900
10000. In the other European coun-
tries there is a disposition to open the
universities to girls, but lack of the
necessary preparatory schools. Ger
many, which gives to men educational
advantages which are not surpassed in
the world, is not abreast with most
civilized nations in educating wo-
men. The present Russian minister of
education has recently stated that "a
II years course of uninterrupted study
would make such demands on the
mental and physical powers of girls
that. after graduation, they would be
untitled for life's work" Only hun
dred years behind the times, that's all.
There is, however, some advance along
this line even in Germany.
Japan has shown her characteristic
ally progressive spirit in providing al
ready a university education for new
women. Even Honduras has establish
ed an American college for girls, and
little Porto Rico sends up to know If
Chicago university will not take some
of her men and women too. 1t may be
said In general terms that the modern
tendency of all civilized nations is in
the direction of educating women.
Without education they must remain
In an inferior position. With educa-
ton there is no limit to their possible
achievements.

Lady Georgiana Grey, the oldest resi-
dent of Hampton Court Palace, in
England, has lately died in her hun
dredth year. She was once cele-
brated beauty She was the daughter
of Earl Grey, the reform statesman,
who preceded Lord Melbourne 1t is
said she believed that the way TO live
long was not to allow anything to
agitate ones feelings and that she
deprecated having any member of her
family engage in politics, attributing
the early death of her brother the late
Earl Grey; who died at %, to that
pernicious habit.

The latest freak of society women is
to perfume themselves with scent tab
lets, which are distributed in the hens
of skirts, in the coat pockets, in the
corsets. in the palms of gloves, and
even in the couture. They are also
scattered freely among laces and hand
kerchiefs. Violet is the favorite per-
fume, and more violet tablets are sold
than those with any other scent.

Food Values.

Blanched almonds are the highest
kind of nerve or brain or muscle food,
having no heat or waste. says a writer
in Good housekeeping. Walnuts give
brain or nerve food. muscle, heat and
waste. Green water grapes are blood
purifying. but of little food value. Blue
grapes are feeding and blood purifying,
but too rich for those who suffer from
the liver Tomatoes have higher nerve
or brain food qualities; they are thin
ming and stimulating. Juicy fruits give
more or less nerve or brain nutrimCnt
and some few muscle food and waste.
Apples supply the higher nerve and
muscle food, but do not give staying
qualities. Irunes afford the highest
nerve or brain food, supply heat and
waste but are not muscle feeding. Or
