Indefinite reports from Mora tells
Of terrible ruin. II is said that TWEEN

doubtless exaggerated. 1t is known
that Biernbaum's store at Weber was
nearly destroyed and that c~onsidera'

land. The water rose to a depth 81
three to five feet at the La Cueva

the destruction OF the ranch houses.

There is story in Lippincott's Magazine

waiting to the possessors of really
good sable to see that an Indifferent
skin can be dyed to closely resemble a
Russian one. But those of us who can
not afford the genuine article are not
complaining on this account.
Cords and tassels, like braid, still
continue to be very favorite trim
ming. Cloth dresses also show garni-
lures of glace applique and velvet
pipings.
l do not think, however, that trim
mings are used very plentifully over
here, though they give finishing
touch of chic to all the dresses.
Bands and sashes play an important
part on many toilette. We are still
wearing a great number of wide kid
bands, boned at the back and cleverly
contrived to come down small in the
front. ALI the details and little access

chic to be tolerated here. We easily
tire of everything which can be copied
cheaply.
Purses studded with precious stones
still hold their own, and SO indeed
does gold metal, studded with other
gems than baroque pearls.
Curious fiat gold purses, combining
card cases, are carried, having the
name traced in colored stones. Old
watch medallions and miniatures are
used as ornaments.
Some of the buckles worn at the
back of the new Louis XVI. waist
bands are perfectly beautiful. En-
eralds and rubies seem the favorite
colored stones here, though diamonds
and pearls are still as popular as
ever.
Afternoon reception frocks appear
to be made in all the lighter and soft
ly clinging fabrics, with tiny little
gaugings, plaitings and ruchings, and
entredeux or medaIlions of lace.
Now that the 1880 effects prevail,
where nantes and furs are concerned,
it is necessary to wear something ex-
ira round the throat, and the most at
tractive little ties are being composed
of ermine and sable, with cravats OF

GODS WORLD.

A rustic stood upon mountain side
And saw the sun in gorgeous glory set;
The rustic saw a canvas that was wide,
A picture that he never might forget!
He saw the dark, green valley spread
below,
Beheld the distant. crimson peaks
a-glean
And knew such ecstasy as artists know
And dreamed the dreams inspired poets
dream.
And often others gladly fingered there
To see the gorgeous picture Nature
spread;
They gazed in wonder. breathing Gods
pure air,
And turned, exalted. when the light
had fed! -
They listened to the pine trees murmur-
ings,
They drank up gladness from the leap
ing brook,
And thought the gracious lord had
planned these things
That all mankind might quaff and hear
and look.
One day rich man CHANGED to linger
there,
He gazed across the valley dark and
green:
He heard the brook, he breathed the
sweet pure air,
And rather liked the splerdor of the
scene.
Therefore he bought it all, that only he
Might henceforth stand and gaze, ex-
allied, awed,
And fenced it in, that no one else might
see
And rise a little nearer to his God

woman who cannot find something ex-
actly suited to her individual style and
requiremnts.
AS for fur hats, they mostly consist
of two contrasting furs. Moleskin, for
instance, is often mixed with what
appears to be white rabbit, or with
caracul. Seal and sable, seal and
chinchilla, broadtail and chinchilla
and ermine and caracul, all make UP
into admirable fur toques of the elon-
gated shape and tilted backwards. The
quaint touches Of gold in the form OF
cockades, ETC., are effective trimmings
to the fur tOques.
But unless very carefully treated,
never think fur is very becoming
worn on the head. Toques of fur and
beaver mixed, trimmed with Parma
violets and roses, are smart with some
of the tailor-made costumes
Here are descriptions of some OF
those in the illustrations: That charm
ing Marquise hat, which is carried out
in soft white felt, has the brim caught
up in the most becoming fashion
imaginable, and trimmed underneath
with wide band of old silver gallon,
laid fatty along the felt. A few folds
of white tulle lift the shape off the
hair, while on one side under the brim,
there is also long ostrich feather,
shading from brown to black, and

way of trimming the underneath brim
of the hat, while the crown and the
upper brim are left entirely una
dorned, may be noted as a character
istic feature of forthcoming millinery
fashions.
Another is pretty toque of white
Volga fur, trimmed with long white
ostrich feather, and having wide
band of mink inserted into the brim
all the way round. With this toque,
our artist has sketched beautiful
mink stole cut in plain straight
shape and lined with white Volga.
A beautiful picture hat may be seen
in another sketch, carried out in green
short-haired beaver, with a very be-
coming brim lined underneath with
green velvet. Round the crown there is
a wreath of roses in soft shades OF red,
mauve and green.
Yet another beaver hat, which we
illustrate, is made in that shade which
is known in Paris as violine, and
which is really something between
petunia and the old-time shade that
was known as magenta. This hat has
a wreath of small petunia shaded
roses arranged round the crown, and
then apparently drawn through the

Where They Were Appreciated.

The government has with great lib
erality distributed public documents
from Washington to the remotest parts
of the country. In his book on ''The
Overland Stage to California" Mr..
Franklin Root tells how the overland
mails were sometimes relieved. Be-
fore the daily mail went into operation,
and when a stage went to Salt Lake
City only once a week, some of the
boys on the line used to despise a
coach almost wholly loaded up with
public documents, but such mail matter
came quite handy at times. Occasion
ally the drivers, as they themselves
said, would get stalled going through
a bad slough in rough weather, and
would be unable to move. In that
case they were obliged to take out sack
after sack of the pub. Docs.," open the
bags, and pile the massive books from
the government printing Office into the
slough, and by building solid foun-
dation with them, were enabled thus to
pull the coach out of the mire.

To Please His Critics.

Half century ago Wagner was Sc
verely criticised in London for con-
Quoting concerts without a score. He
was giving some Beethoven concerts,
and he knew the masters symphonies
by heart After the first performance
one of the London papers scolded the
composer of "Tannhauser" for directing
the symphony without a score in front
of him. At the next concert young
Wagner had book of music open be-
fore him on the desk. The following
day the same newspaper printed a
commendatory article, which praised
him for his better Interpretation of
Beethoven, the improvement due, OF
course, to the use of the score. Wag-
ner announced for the benefit of his
critic that the score in front of him
on the previous evening was that of
