Although Queen Victoria, like many
elderly ladies' prefers the dresses she
has worn for some little time to new
ones, and is most conservative as TO
their style, no one is more daintily par
ticular than she that no mark or stain
soil them. For this reason she Will
never allow her skirts to drag in the
dust, and much objects to the practice
in others. When about to engage in
the quantity of writing she still gets
through, it is her custom to wear
pair of outer sleeves over those of her
dress, in case a spot of ink should
squirt on them. The queen is also ex-
ceedingly particular about the material
and fit Of her shoes, wearing in the
house those made of the thickest black
silk. Victoria r. I. has always been
celebrated for her pretty arms and
hands, which, to this day, are soft'
plump and unwrinkled. She takes no
little pride in them, always using sort
water and the purest soap, and having
a carefully prepared cream rubbed on
them at night.

the explosion was never known. About
100 bodies were recovered and it was
supposed that there were as many

In a Church
X * Belfry

There hangs in the belfry of the lit
tie Christian church in the town of
Savannah, in Andrew county, this
state, a bell which has an interesting
history. In 1852, forty eight years
ago, there occurred at Lexington the
most disastrous accident which ever
befell steamboat on the Missouri
river, one attended with the greatest
loss of human life. The Saluda, side
wheel steamer, with a battery of two
boilers, was on her way up the river
with cargo of general merchandise
and her cabin and lower deck crowded
with passengers, most of whom were
Mormons. The river was unusually
high, and the current as it. came
around the point just above the town
was strong. To add to the difficulties
the river was full of floating ice which
had broken loose from a gorge higher
up. Captain Francis T. Belt, comman-
der Of the boat, had made repeated eff
forts to stem the rapid current, but as
often failed. At last, on the morning
of April 9, after waiting several days
for the flood to subside, he again order
ed steam to be raised for final eff
tort. He went to the engine room,
looked at the steam gauge, and asked
the engineer how many more pounds
of steam she could stand. On being
answered that she had already every
pound that she could safely carry, he
gave the command, "Fill her up; put
on more steam," and remarked to the
engineer with an oath that he would

Evolution of Trousers.

Coat, vest and trousers gradually
superseded the ancient doublet anc

the doublet and cloak were replaced
by coat and waistcoat, the latter with
huge flaps. With trousers evolution
was slower. At the mentioned period
knee-breeches and long stockings, lit

die Ages, were worn. After = them
came pantaloons, fitting tightly, and
buttoned or tied at the ankle. Then
early in this century trousers appeared.

Away up in the Julian Alps, in the

There is every possibility of gold re-

Workmanship and embroideries show
no sign OF becoming less costly; on
the contrary, as ideas are improved

perfect, increasing in finesse and ac-
curacy. Rich brocaded velvet designs
are often cut away from the silk, leav-
