INDIVIDUALITY IN DRESS.
A Line of-study Suggested For Women
Who would IIe sensibIy Drease

who would Be sensibiy Dressed.
The mention of individuality in
dress at first appalls ones mind by
,oniuring before it the vision of weird
and dowdy and eccentric costumes,
such as are wont to express the ag-
gressive individualities of some of
our strong minded women of to-day.
But we look forward at the same time
to a cultivation of the artistic taste in
everybody which shall insure that our
costumes be delightful to look at as
well as convenient to wear. At pres
snt, our artistic sense has been so
perverted by the inartistic fashions
we have for so long been accustomed
to see around us that it will take time
before we can struggle out of the
slough OF depravity in matters of
taste. IT is much that our strong.
minded sisters have made protest in
favor of comfort and good sense with
regard to clothing Utility lies on
the road TO beauty.
Two,lines Of study might be sug-
gested (1) OF ourselves as we leave
the hands of nature. (2) OF the ap-
priateness OF our dress to the occa-
sion. To this may added third, the
study of nature for suggestions rs to
color combinations. 1t may be taken as
mn axiom that nature knows what she
is about, and that if she sends us into
the world with straight hair for in
stance, it is probably because that
harmonizes better with the cast of our
features aud the general significance
of our expression than would curly
hair But we are constantly seeing
instances where all that is character
istic aud of spiritual Significance in a
| phys:ognomy has been obliterated,
and all that is ordinary and even vul-
gar brought ont and made prominent,
| by artificial treatment. We first must
appreciate that beauty shows itself in
many types. and then learn to recog-
nize our own, and proceed according
ly. Our study ought also to reveal
to us our defects, and prevent our
| dressing in way to emphasize these,
as, to give the usual broad example, Il
stout woman should not wear spots,
nor a tall, thin woman longitudinal
stripes. The same caution applies, of
course, to color, and no sallow com
plexioned woman of any Judgment
will be induced to attire herself in
pink or green, no matter whether
these happen to be most fashionable
| tints.
Nowadays there are two classes OF
women who pay reverence to fashion;
there are those who change their man
ner of dress in order to be different
from the rank and file, as we'll as those
who change it in order to be like
others. The desire for distinction,
though as yet it may only be mat
ter of habit with the leaders OF fash
ion, is not an unworthy one, and there
is hope that it will outgrow snobbish
ness, and, with good motives, spreat
throughout all classes. When indi
viduality dictates fashions, then viii
be the time of the emancipation o
women in its truest and deepest sense
when they shall have overcome, no
merely the artificial restrictions o
outside laws, but the weakness anC
follies of their own nature Annie G

W. Nrackowizer says in tho Boston

For example. the child from the
moment of entering the true kinder
garten recognizes himself to be a re-
sponsible member OF that little coms
munity. But he quickly appreciates,

ular lnhibitions or instructions: no

not only with, but also for them. aud
finds his highest joy in serving tiy
community which in turn seem vi the
time to be concerned about no,,iing SO
much as his own welfare and happi-
ness. On the other hand. the typical
only child is trained into priggish sel-
ilshness by the misfortune of his isolbr
tion. No relations to others are estabS
lished in his case except those OF su.
premacy; from each contest he usually
emerges the temporary victor, and
therefore,the permanent victim Now

the kindergarten. He sees the other

with permitting him thus to observe

tion; and soon the good which Is COM

A Relic or Little Big Horn.

Captain Alfred Kelly, of the yacht
Louise, of Port Clinton, has in his
possession relic of the Custer mas
sacre of several years ago in the shape
of an army cornet used by the bugler
of Clusters corps in that terrible con
hct. The relic came into possession
OF a friend of one Clemons, now a
sailor on yacht of which Kelly is
master. The friend gave the bugle
to Clemous some few years ago, when
the latter was n naval brigadier.
Clemens in turn gave the horn to
Kelly, and the trophy now graces the
cabin of the Louise as an ornament
aud monument to the memory OF the
sacred dead whose lives were lost in
that memorable scene of carnage and
disaster, when Clusters entire brigade
was slain. Cleveland Leader.

Ornaments For the Hair.

Hair ornaments are being worn
more than ever, and numerous are
the pretty and ingenious devices to
hold short hair in place and to aid IN
the arrangement of the coiflure. EN-
pire combs are still popular, and pom
padour combs have not disappeared,
but the chair binder" as the clasp
for the short hairs is called, is worn
universally. limitations of real shell
horseshoes, with rhinestone decora.
ton, are favorite design, and snakes
abound in metal ana shell.

rruit Diet For the Conplcxion.

A generous diet of fruit is another
admirable aid to the acquisition of a
fine complexion. A torpid liver often
causes skin disorders, and the acid
contained in apples is a particularly
valuable medicine. Three or four
sound, ripe apples should be eaten
daily. Other fruit whose acids are
beneficial are oranges, peaches, plums,
pears, ali the berries in general use,
lemons and lines. The last two
should be used with caution, however,
as they are not adapted for unre-
stricted use by all constitutions.

proyentIng IinlIrnnd Accldnnl.

A Russian engineer has invented a
device for preventing railroad acci.
dents that has been successfully tested
by officials of the st. Petersburg and
Warsaw Railroad. The essential fea.
ture of the invention is an iron tube
connected with the general system OF
brakes and placed in front of the
wheels. At the least irregularity in
the movement of the train the tube,
in consequence OF certain cuts made
upon it at intervals, breaks, and thus
produces an immediate stoppage OF
the cars aud locomotive. Russia Is
much in need of this mechanism, as
there are about 1000 railroad acci
dents in the empire every year.

A Tree which was worshipped

The cypress, in ancient times, was
considered a sacred tree, and idols
were made of cypress wood, The Pa
cific Coast Indians used it as an en-
blem of publication. The Dacotan
Indians had superstition concerning
the cedar tree. They imagined that
thunder was manifestation of the
storm god, Wa-Kan-Da, thunder-birds
and his messengers producing the
noise designated as thunder. These
birds lived in cedar trees, and hence
the cedar tree became an object of
worship and the cedar pole an emblem
Of the highest value.

Zinc Points in Iilcycle Riding.

Nothing can be more dangerous to
women cyclists than riding with the
saddle-post too high. The correct
length of reach can easily be tested by
sitting upright on the saddle with one
pedal down at it's lowest point. With
the leg straight the arch of the foot
under the instep should rest naturally
on the pedal-that is, without leaning
the body over to lengthen the reach,
nor bending the knee to shorten it,.
1t is important also that the saddle be
adjusted far enough forward so that
one sits directly over her work; moth
ing is more firing than riding bicycle
with the saddle too far back or too
low. In either case the knees bend
too much and the muscles of the legs
soon become exhausted. If the sad
die is too far back, it is necessary to
lean forward in the ungraceful and
unhealthy position of the "scorcher"
in order to reach the handle-bars.
Despite the legion of instruction
books that have been published and
the number of schools for learning to
ride the bicycle, one still sees great
many of the women who wheel making
the same old mistakes. They do not
sit upright ON the machine as they
should, with the shoulders thrown
back, the chest out, and the head erect.
Not only is this the most graceful
position for riding, but it is also the
most healthful. Curiously enough,
common sense and vanity, usually
Numerically opposed to each other,
are united in this point. The woman
who rides with her head and shoulders
bent forward over the handle-bars
whether she "scorches" or rides leis-
urely, is not only hopelessly ungrace-
full, but she deprives herself of the
healthful advantages of the exercise
| for cramped lungs cannot breathe
properly and the heart soon labors il
