DICTATES OF DAME FASHION.

a very quaint fashion is the revival
of the paletot, it being most popular
in black taffeta. It makes a pretty,
light and inexpensive summer wrap,
much beruched and trimmed.
There is such a lot in color, and few
women know how to make the most of
it. Black is either very becoming or
quite the reverse, though on b
whole it is smart, especially for even
ing wear.
Women have recently been wearing
China silk skirts with their light cling
ing gowns, and some of these go in
with the lingerie. Nainsook, however,
is the material of all others for the
finest of petticoats.
Some of the newest French sleeve
models show the most approved forms
Of the elbow styles arranged in every
sort of quaint and faDciful form, and
also the pretty coat shapes with a pic
turesque finish al the top and about
the wrists, the wrinkled nous

styles with dainty undersleeves Of
gathered null, batiste, net or chiffon.

think. is a strong point in favor of
the frame silo. I have learned of
round silos that went to wreck, like
an old barrel, in the dry weather. In

be worse in a silo where the slaves
had been spliced, for they must be
made weaker in splicing the slaves.

FLIRTING WITH FACTS.
Illustrative Instances of the Way
the Daily Press Gets Things
Twisted.

Some funny things concerning the
paper trade appear in the daily papers
now and then. For example, a New
York paper stated recently that the
ground wood pulp mill at Sault Ste.
Marie has a daily capacity of $4,000
TONS, and mat a sulp3:te mill of a
daily capacity of $4,000 tons is very
near completion.
Another daily paper tells of watches,
chains and all sorts of jewelry having
been picked out of the beating engine
of a mill at st. Joseph, Mich, and says
hat once every week, when the beater
is cleaned, the employees of the mill
plunge head-first into it in search of
valuables, says the Paper Mil.
The impression is conveyed that a
handful of jewelry is fshed out on
every occasion.
In the field of daily newspaper work
it is really wonderful hal the mis-
takes made are so few. But such mis-
takes as these are not excusable.
a seconds consideration would
show their improbability, not to say
the impossibility, and so prevent the

81. Daumet, of the French institute,
and a number of other French archi-
tects have petitioned the senate
against any interference with re-

many of their buildings are the glory
of France, and that they are likely to
continue furnishing employment to
the building trade.

giles of his antagonist to free his hands,

severe wounds and was forced down
the stairs. The assassin now freed

ton, and remained during the four
years that Mr.. Seward continued in
