SLEEVES OF THE FUTURE.
Will Be of Two Kinds and One May
Wear Whichever Is the More
Suitable.

Sleeves will be of two kinds" said a
modiste, according to the Brooklyn
Eagle, open and closed. One will be
about as fashionable as the other, and
it will be a question purely of choice.
You can have the bell, which is f1aring
at the elbow and which is to be worm
over an undersleeve. Or you can have
the great melon-shaped sleeve, which is
caught in under a narrow cuff at the
wrist. For my part I prefer the elbow
bell as dressier.
eff you want to finish your sleeves in
very fine fashion," continued the mod
iste, "cut them off at the elbow, let them
out in a full bell and finish the bell with
a white cotton fringe. Above the fringe
sew a fiat band of white silk ribbon, or
white washable satin.
There is another way to finish your
bell sleeve which should be only a lit
tie longer than the elbow. Take it and
finish it in points and under each point
set a longer point of lace. Between the
points hang two white silk balls. This
makes a very dressy finish for the
sleeves.
"And yet another elbow finish is that
of the Victorian %rufles, which consist
of three rufiies all the same length,
caught on the inside of the sleeve, and
arranged SO as to hang down, all Of
equal length, over the undersleeve.
But these are only a few of the
many styles of new sleeves. Just at
this moment the prettiest sleeve is the
cloth sleeve, with a cap of some con-
trasting color. This is put on in the
shape of IN epaulette and the end is
continued right on down to the very
cuff.
at keeps dressmakers awake nights
keeping track of all the new sleeves, but
1t is pretty business and we like it." and
the modiste picked up a pair of sleeves
which looked suspiciously like lamp
shades and proceeded to sew them into
the armhole Of a paleblue lawn.

Early Celebrations
HE origin of Washington's birth

LIZ SAh "a - ~ "a
day as a holiday is stated as fol-
lows: On February %, 1888. a
number of gentlemen met in a New
York tavern to celebrate the great gen.
erals birthday. They then agreed to
assemble in future IN that day, cele-
brating it with odes and toasts. Wash
ington's ascendancy shortly after to the
presidency gave a new zest to the AN
nual," so that in time it became general,
and finally grew into a legal holiday"
the people demanding it from a custom.
The first public celebration of Wash
ington's birthday occurred On February
IL, 1884, and the anticipated occasion
was thus alluded to by the Pennsylvania
Packet of February It, same year:
"wednesday last being the birthday
of his excellency, Gen. Washington, the
same was celebrated here by all the true
friends of American independence and
constitutional liberty, with that hilarity
and manual decorum attendant on the
sol of freedom. In the evening an en-
tertainment was given on board the
East India ship in this harbor, to q very
brilliant and respectable company, and
a discharge Of 10 cannon was fired upon
the joyful occasion"

In the matter of the watercress, OIL
which DR.. King Wary has submitted an
%unfavorable report to the borough Of
Hackney, the city press is reassuring.
Watercress grown in polluted streams is
undoubtedly dangerous to health if not
properly washed. But the plant does
not absorb the poison in the same way
as the oyster does the sewage, and a
cleansing in fresh cold water removes
all danger. This, we are assured, is the
consensus Of medical experts. The
obvious moral is n that would natur-
ally occur to all dainty feeders-that
cress should be well washed before ii
reaches the table.-London Chronicle,

THE SHREWD DETECTIVE.
Had q Great Head for Finding Our
Things, But Not for Saving
Property.

The shrewd detective looked the
ground owe carefully, relates Elliott
Flower in the Brooklyn Eagle.
This is the third time you have been
robbed?" said he, inquiringly.
Yes" replied the woman.
And this room is the one that has
been most disturbed?"
Yes"
The shrewd detective examined a
comb that lay on the bureau.
rs there anyone here with red hair?"
he asked.
NO"
Hal" he cried. "a clew! She could
not resist the temptation to arrange her
hair"
She! Who?"
THE burglar. 1t is a woman, which
simplifies matters very much. She has
red hair" He sank into an armchair
and rested his ~throbbing temple on his
hand. The throb was due to great ment-
al activity. He could not think clearly
without throbs. THE ordinary police
method" he said at last, would be to
put out the dragnet and arrest every red
haired woman in town and indict the
one who had just combed her hair, but
that is unsatisfactory to a great detec-
tive. | prefer to be subtle. Have you a

"And some costly millinery"

Bring them all to me-"
Wondering, she obeyed, and he ar
ranged them all to his satisfaction.
"What next?" she asked.
Leave them all here tonight" he in
structed, land come up any time to-
morrow. You will find the woman still
here. But do not sent your husband
for she may be trying on the gown"
"Wha a wonderful mani" she eX-
claimed.
Nothing wonderful about It" he re-
turned. Il am merely a married man
who is reasonably observing"
Investigation the next day revealed a
note which read: 81 have taken the
gown home to try it on"
81 told you it was a woman!" cried the
detective, j%ubilantly.
You can't disconcert a true detective.

DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITIES.
Will lie UNNECESSARILY Bettercd by
the Adoption of ii Concise
Platform.

Much favorable is seen in
the press, without particular regard TO
political affiliations, concerning the re-
Gently issued call for the democratic
national convention, a Y the Buffalo
Times. Its brevity and it's direct Ian
guage, entirely free from verbosity or
tautology, has caused it to be referred
to as a model. AS a matter of fact. it
is worthy of attention, and may be
studied with benefit by platform-makers
as well as by authors of shorter docu-
ments, In fact, the New York Sun con-
siders its third and concluding para
graph a platform in itself.
The first paragraph of the call simply
recites the action of the national COM
mittee in deciding upon July 6 as the
date and St. Louis as the place of the
convention. The second merely gives
the numerical representation to which
each state and territory will be entitled
at the convention; while the third and
last paragraph, which the Sun admires
so greatly, is as follows:
"All democratic citizens Of the United
States who ear unite with us in the eff
fort for a pure and economical constitu-
tional government are cordially invited
to join us in sending delegates to the
convention"
OF this the Albany Argus says IF
the democratic committee on resolu-
tons will bear in mind the admirable
language and spirit of the convention
call-if it will frame, and the conven-
ton adopt, a platform briefly, broadly
and sufficiently covering the issues of
to-day-the chances of democratic vic
tory, already good, will be immeasur-
ably bettered."
And who can doubt that, as the season
for the convention approaches, every
day betters those chances-nay, the
word is not a good one-opportunities is
stronger and more appropriate.

Cars Picture Torn Down.

st. Louis, Sept. 2s.-When the
Russian exhibit In the Varied In
dustries building at the Worlds Fair
was opened today It was discovered
that several valuable oil paintings
OF Emperor Nicholas had been torn
from the wall and mutilated by some
unidens ifed person or persona. An
other portrait OF the emperor, a
handsome and valuable panel done
in colored silk, had been torn from
its support and subjected to great
indignity. The oil paintings were
torn and there were marks showing
that the features OF the emperor had
been stamped upon.
The vandalism was reported at
once to the exposition authorities
aud an investigation ordered. Both
Jefferson guards and members OF the
Worlds Fair detective force have
been assigned to the case. The of
ficials In charge OF the exhibit have
engaged private detectives and every
effort is being made by both the ex'
hibitors and the Worlds Fail
authorities to discover the guilty
person or persons.
