THE FASHIONS.

The princess shape will be much
used for evening gowns and day cos
tunes this winter.
Marquise, Louis XVI, Devonshire
and Gainsborough hats all reappear
among styles in high priced French
millinery.
The tendency toward the use of
gimp, galloon and passementerie appli-
que effects in various widths is becom-
irg more and more prevalent.
Louis XIV. coats are among the most
attractive models in velvet They are
much longer than the Louis Seize mod
els, with peplum additions below the
waist.
Jourdain, tournai and vert russo are
among the handsome shades in green
used by Paris tailors and dressmakers
in making up costumes and wraps of
cloth and velvet.
Sable, seal, chinchiiia and Persian
lamb have the usual lead in fur wraps
this season, with the less expensive
grades and various limitations like
wool, astrakhan, atlas seal, ETC., fol-
lowing in their train.
A tailor gown of very fine black
cloth is always good form and never
Inappropriate. Although not always
the most becoming gown women of
certain type might select, 1t is yet in
variably refined and ladylike.-New

put some boards over the pen, for the
use of which he charged fee. "These,"
said he, will pay me per cent"
Said Mr.. Ruskin, "a great. wise,
good Ok is needed for a leader" The
Ok led them all around the pen. The
Horses stopped kicking and said, I'VE

many more died of hunger

said the president of the Society For
the Suppression of Nature. "SiXteen
per cent of these Horses are penned up
on account of causes Indirectly due to
misconduct"
"a new gospel is needed for liberty"
said Truth, but the Horses turned
longingly toward the pens because
they were horses.
Said Fence Builder, I'VE have only

Handkerchief Trick.

If you place a handkerchief in the
middle of n flame, you naturally sup
pose that it will burn, and yet it may
be done and the linen not receive the
slightest injury from the fire surround
ing it.
The simple reason is because the
handkerchief has been carefully pre-
pared for the fiery ordeal. First it is
stepped in water, next the water is
squeezed out of 1t and finally it is
soaked with alcohol. In squeezing out
the water care is taken not to exert
too great pressure, the object being
to remove the water, but to keep the
handkerchief moist.

Place the figure below the magnet on

make a trapeze of match and two

 Extradited Yesterday.

Acting Governor Stoddard yesterday Ysabal of Sonora for the eXtradition of Ygnacio Perez, wanted there for mur- der. The papers were presented by Francisco Camille, an officer of Her mOsillo, who was accompanied by Con- sul Pima. Perez is now in custody at Bisbee The murder was committed at Cananea, and it followed a game Of cards Perezs victim had cautioned d friend against the betting of 10 cents, W hen Perez obeserVed to him that from the interest he had shown i'll the matter one would think the money belonged to him.
 There were some words and q TOW which broke up the game. Perez and another man followed the victim away and renewed the quarrel, in which Perez stabbed his victim twice, once in the arm and once in the abdomen. The latter wound was fatal. Perez at once left the country and three other men were arrested for the murder and were acquitted. The testimony against Perez was furnished by a woman who was in d tent near the place of the murder.
 The Mexican government has lost no time in this case. While it was waiting for the location, capture and return of the murderer it proceeded to his trial. He has been convicted. and as the law fixes the sentence, Perez will have nothing to do but to stand up and be shot on his return.

Surely in modern and probably in

so much to the effectiveness Of an
army as did the Southern women to
that Of the army Of the COnfeder-

themselves sterner patriots than did
our mothers during that four years of
magnificent battling for the right,
especially during the last two years
thereof, when self denial was abso-
lutely necessary on the part of those
who strove for the victory, whether
at home OF on the field of battle. Ac-
customed to the easiest, most luXuri-

lures found themselves suddenly con-
