PRINCESS, AFTERwARD QUEEN
 ELIZABETH.

skirts, and though these have not al yet by any manner of means been gen orally adopted, they have by no man ner of means been routed.
 The hoop-skirt monstrosity comes back again and again. It's last reign may be put at from 1860-75, in whicl period it reached most ridiculous ex' treme. At last, after indignation and ridicule had for years assailed the mon strosity in vain, and when people hae fceased speaking about 1t, the imitation began, about 1866, to collapse, and rushing to the opposite extreme, ladies might be seen walking about as slim as if merely wrapped in a morning gown" It is quite likely crinoline if responsible for the accusations broughl upon woman as an unreasoning as well as unreasonable creature. .r4a
 Where did she get this notion foI inflated dress? We may consign cos tune to this period. another to ont not so very far back; and little delv' ing by the antiquary will bring to High, the fact that there is nothing new ir dress, countless generations of womer have played variations in the samt theme. We are told Elizabeth intro. duced the first device for producing al extension of dress, called the fardin gale; and just as we settled down tt add this to her list of original sins some other authority informs us dis tension" goes farther back than the day of good Queen Bess. But let us glance at it's ravages from her time down to the present
 When we look at the pictures of Eliz abeth, with her enormous run and vaster fardingale," we wonder at . strong minded woman employing hel energies to impose such senseless dangerous mode. But impose it sh' did, and the women of the asy had tho upper part of the body fastened in [ stiff case of whalebone. which was me- at the waist with the fardingals of th, same material, this extending clear tc the feet. Mayhap the Maiden Queer 6uOpNcu tue uCNASS " AcNP 1NhAhNA and would-be spouse at good arms length.
 In the reign of James l., who sue ceeded Elizabeth, you remember, thu fashion waned; and then when the Pu ritans were at the helm it vanished ut terly. What blessed change that par ticulsr bit of Puritanism must hay' been
 It came to life again in HI and wal referred to as that startling novelty the hoop-skirt" as we know was no novelty at all Yet in a way was. for 1t differed from Elizabethl fardingale in being gathered in at tn waist, hers an affair that uprose abov, the hips.

HOOP SKIRT HISTORY.
ELIZABETH ORIGINATED THIS
 DRESS DISPERSION.
Portents of Its Return-once Had tt Be Abolished by Royal Command The Abominable Crinoline
 of Victorian Day.

When dressmakers disagree, wha will you? Hoop-skirts or no hoop skirts-that is the question. The grea' dressmakers across the water are try ing with might and main to bring then back, the ladies tailors are combat ing with might and main.
 Insidiously the danger has crept for ward, the friends of the hoop-skirt ma nipulating it's return in manner So gradual as to disarm opposition Though for some years past we have had the shapely, close-fitting skirt Il has been varied by the short "trotter' of decided fulness, then an increasing fulness .at the bottom of skirts gen orally has helped on the plots of th' hoop-skirt folk, and now it is not un common to have bone-stiffened pettl coats holding out the wide lower par of gown. Some of the petticoats O the day have castings which, when ths bones are in, form real half hoop

SHE WHO HESlTATES LOSES
The Girl Who Is Slow to Decide Upon Proposal of Marriage Some
 times Gets Left.

There Is a Philadelphia girl who has learned that so far as proposal is con- cerned he or she who hesitates is lost, says the Philadelphia Record. A very eligible and estimable young man had long been making it evident that his at tentions to her were serious, and the other evening he made formal dec laration. She could not even put for ward the orthodox ruse about the sud- denness of the proposal.
 Being of Q rather vacillating turn Of mind, she said she could not give him a decided answer. q am not at all sure that love you" the girl declared; you must give me time to think about it" Considerably taken aback by what he considered her lack of decision of char acter the young man agreed to wait a week 4os her IfinaF decision. a7nf4H
 So the wooed but not yet won maiden went to her bed that night pondering deeply. About 12 o'clock she was awak- ened to receive telegram which read: You need not mind about deciding that matter until next week; I've found . girl who said yes tonight"

ELLEN THAYER.
WORK OF THE IMAGINATION
Story of How It Spoiled Dainty
 Feast for Company of Diners.

Speaking about the imagination controlling ones appetite" remarked the waiter in the Forty-second street chop house, relates the New York Globe, reminds me of little inci- dent that occurred down here the other evening. A party of six fcom one of the theaters came in and or dered soft crab supper. When the queer looking objects came out 6ain- tily mounted on brown toast, the par ty began to cut up the rich claws and eat thesl with a relish. I guess they would have consumed them all, and called for more, had there not been a joker along. This joker speared one of the crabs with his fork, and hold ing it aloft said, with a twinkle In his eye:
 "'Gee, have to shut my eyes when I eat soft crabs.
 "'Why so?' asked one of his com panions.
 Because they look so much like fried spiders
 Then the others noticed the strik- ing similarity between a. soft crab and a spider and lost their appetites. {

not until I796 were they discarded iD private life, and then still fiourishina at court. During the reign of George 14 (1820-30) they were abolished by royal command. The middle of the nineteenth century crinoIine wat re. viyed in the form of the hustle, it now being the fashion to hold out the up. per part of the skirt, rather than the whole petticoat. But presently the ter. ritory of distension widened, and we have the hoop-skirt now, perhaps al it's very worst, steel cage with cir. conference of four and even five yards If the threatening enemy again attain such proportions. what will become of the athletic girl, the business woman the active, energetic ladies of whom we have boasted? In the cities. how about the transportation question. the over crowded cars? Far distatnt be the evil day!

Scientific Discovery.

Liquid air and the high absorptive properties of charcoal are now used to secure high vacua. It has long been known that liquid air possesses the property of absorbing gases. Prof. Dewar, the English physicist. has late ly demonstrated that this property is increased many fold when the char coal is cooled to the temperature of liquid air. The absorption takes place 90 rapidly that if the charcoal is con- tained in a closed vessel the latter soon becomes empty of air.
