The proposition for an appropria-
tion by the Legislature OF New Hamlr
shire tor the erection OF d statue OF
Franklin Pierce in Concord has caus-
ed a rafting of dry bones. Mr.. Sev-
erance of Exeter, who spoke against
the appropriation. said that Franklin
Pierce supported John G. Calhoun in
his advocacy of treason while he was
President and paved the way for st.
cession and four years Of dircful war.
He also quoted Pierce as prophesying
on the first day of July. 1868. while
the perpetuty of the nation hung IN
the balance, that every city in the
North would pay tribute to Lee. and
when he battle of Gettysburg was
over. he harranguod crowd of fol.
lowers from the capitol in Concord
and demanded that Lincoln withdraw
his hirelngs. Mr. hardy Of Keenc
took a similar position. The bill
passed. however, 207 to So. but was de-
feated by filbustering in the Senate.
Franklin Pierce was the only New
Hampshire man who ever became
president. He had a brilliant record
as legislator and as soldier in the
Mexican war, but he was rank cop
perhead during the civil war.

Though it looks very plain this little
dress represents in reality a goodly
amount of labor. 1t is made of finest
Swiss embroidery deep enough to give
the entire length, but actually en-
broidered only to a depth of Il few
inches
The dress, or rather the cloth part Of
the embroidery, is tucked very finely
down to within seven inches of the
edge. Then it is made up just as If it
were plain cloth, and in sacque shape
Lest the fine, closelyset tucks should
not give sufficient fulness an inverted
box pleat finishes each under arm
seam, being let in about seven inches
from the lower edge.
The sleeves are of finest tuclling, and
are edged with narrow embroidery, as
is the neck. For child of two or
three years nothing could be daintier
than the little French dress, which fits
down well, and has the fulness all
sticking out so prettily at the lower
edge.

The Chatelaine Ornament.

1t is revival of an eighteenth CEN
tury fashion that is seen in the use of
small jeweled hand mirror worn as
a chatelaine ornament. In the old
days of powder and patches and wigs
and rouge, a mirror at hand was a ne
cessity. The troublesome war paint
often needed touch of repairs which,
in the frank days of Queen Anne, was
always unblushingly supplied. Now
the tiny mirrors are worn only for
ornament, so their owners say. and
very pretty ornaments they are.
There is no limit to the price one
can pay for one of these little mirrors,
for they are most exquisitely enam-
eled, set with semi-precious stones
and made of gold, silver, ivory, gun
metal and gold, or have tortoise-shell
backs, on which, in gold, floral pat
tern or the proprietor's initials are
wrought. The finest art of the French
goldsmith is lavished on the frame
work of many mirrors, and a small
chain and hook at the end of the han
die makes the trifle fast at the belt OF
its wearer.-New York Sun.

There are many handsome gowns Of
various thin, black stuffs.
The prettiest cotton shirt waists
have bishop sleeves with narrow band
cuffs.
A black grenadine sprinkled with
crystal dots is very effective, made up
with touches of color.
White dresses are much in evidence
and white costumes trimmed with
black are deemed even more stylish.
French knobs in either black or
white silk beautify some of the mar
row gold braids. They are done by
hand, and one row through the centre
is sufficient for the narrow widths.
Very fashionable stock collars are
| made of white satin ribbon, with tiny
lines of gold braid put on at intervals,
or those of black bebe velvet ribbon
standing vertically, and ending on a
little loop, held with small gold or
| jewel button.
The Raglan shirt waist seems to be
| one of the new varieties. The sleeve
| sets in from the collar band like n
| mans Raglan coat, and there are small
stitched pockets at each side of the
bust. Both flannel and washable shirt
| waists are made on these lines.
Pale old-rose chiffon and a very
beautiful shade of dark pansy velvet
| are combined ON a shirred round waist,
with very dropping front, and an ex-
tremely short bolero jacket, trimmed
with tiny edge of outer fur and very
fine gold passementerie designs en- ap.
plique.
The so-called "lingerie sleeve" con.
| tinues to increase in favor, so that now
even tailored gowns show the dainty
| undersleeve Of silk or velvet. A new
| idea is to make the sleeve full length,
| but slash it half way to the elbow in
narrow sections, through which the
undersleeve forms puffs.
Pretty belts. suitable for wear with
either flannel or silk waist, have a
| foundation of black velvet: through
| the centre is sewn a bias band of col
ored satin about an inch wide, and
over this are three bands of very mar
row gold braid. The whole belt is
scarcely two inches wide. 1t is pointed
front and back, fastening by hook and
eye a. the side.

A New Kind of TOrpedO,

The newest war engine is an air tor
pedo which. after a slight initial vel
ocity is given to it, propels itself for
distance of nearly four miles. 1t is

whose Government has granted money
to him for the undertaking of expert
ments.
The forward movement of the pro-
jectile is effected by means of gas
which, escaping and flowing out
through the channels of a turbine fixed
at the bottom, drives the torpedo with
increasing speed.
Any kind of percussion explosive
may be used. This proiectile is fired
from specially constructed cannon
and is noiseless. The initial velocity
being low, there is no recoil, and not
the slightest danger to the firing party.

Always use double thread for a gath
ering.
Always use as fine a thread and
needle as the garment will allow.
When threading your needle make
the knot on the end broken from the
reel.
The rule for frilling is one and a
quarter the length of the edge to be
trimmed.
In facing a sleeve turn it and place
the facing inside the sleeves before
sewing it on.
Gathers should always be set on the
right side, but never with a needle
Use large pin.
In sewing a seam put the stitches
closely together, but lightly, into the
cloth, being careful not to pull the
thread tight, as this causes the seam
to draw.

English Song BIZ dis For India.

Darjeeling, the mountain sanitorium
OF Bengal, is getting tired of talking OF
the tornado that wrecked the station
couple of years ago. So the improve
ment committee have thought of some
thing else. They declare themselves
dissatisfied with the CUCKOO, hitherto
DarJeelings almost sole feathered
warbler, and are trying to import Eng.
lish song birds, at pound apiece, to
plant in the woods, says Calcutta
correspondent. 1t is bad lookout for
the songsters, as the woous are full of
Himalayan ravens, and Himalayan
ravens feed on young birds. But the
Improvement committee are sanguine,
and the lieutenant-governor of Bengal
is alleged to have made the suggestion,
so nobody protests. The ravens, by the
way, are said themselves to have been
imported some years ago by the NAH
arajah of Darbhanga.

The Art of Conversing AgreeabIy.

There are comparatively few people
who talk well and agreeably, though
there are many who talk constantly.
If you would speak well, speak dis.
tirctly. neither too rapidly nor too
slowly, and with a properly modulated
voice; enunciate clearly; dispense with
superEuous words; avoid affectation,
conceit and laughter which is not nat
ural and spontaneous; never interrupt
a conversation and never introduce a
subject that is not of general interest
1t Is a common idea that the art Of
writing and the art of conversation are
one. This is a mistake. A good wri-
