ILLEGAL SUPPLEMENTS

Washington, April I2.--Third Assist
ant Postmaster General Madden has is
sued circular letter to all postmasters.
| i'll which he says:
1T has been brought to the attention
| of the department in number of cases
that publishers OF newspapers are pre-
serting their publications for mailing
with so-cailed supplements which are
nanifestly illegal. These alleged sup

lies of cut out animal pictures, animal
masks. photographs. cut out dolls. sol
diers and naval vessels: circulars, hand
| bills, special detached advertisements,
cardboard spectacles. sheets containing
discs of soluble paint TO be used in col
oring outline drawings, etc, ETC.
The letter says publishers seem to
regard these things ais permissible tiIider
[the act of 1879, but By no reasonable IN
lterpretation Of the law can such articles
be regarded as germaiIe 10 a news
paper or as matter supplied in order to
complete what is left incomplete in the
Ipaper itself The circular then adds:
The privilege accorded to a publish

Iro right to use those rates for any

the pub Usher must pay the same rate as

that the manifold perfumes of the
flowers of the plant world are pure and

Subject of Trimmings.

When trimmings are being considered
one must not neglect to mention the
grapevine trimmings which, instead of
becoming old and stale as the seasons
go on. become more and more the vogue
There is now fancy for large lifelike
punches of grapes in Irish lace These
lunches are embroidered in the natural
coIors of the grapes with the embroid-
cry slightly raised to make II seem more
real The handsomest pieces OF Irish
crochet lace are selected for this pur-
pose and the embroidery is skillfully
carried out. A grapevine trimming
adorns street dresses and house dress
es, and one may encounter it upon coats
and neck trimmings

beautiful cannot do better than make
herself several of the new tapestry

Color Important. Too.

The cciorS of flowers are as important
as the perfumes The most hornogen-
eous and congeniaI colors are not the
most intense The best coIors are light
and clear, such as blue, which is less
liable TO produce phenomena OF con-
trast; compositions such as brown are
even TO be preferred, because Of the fact
that they modify the intensity of the
light. while the blue also modifies the
quality. However, not only does the

Furs for All the Year.

II is a very good idea now TO buy ones
standard furs. 1t Is 2 good time toA buy a
long cloth coat with fur lining, also a
fur rnuff and boa and a fur coat. { 1t is
an excellent season to buy strips of fur
for trimmings and ii is the time of
times TO buy all ones odds and enes of
fur. They are SO very much reduceel.
OF course. il is not a good plan TO buy
fur novelties now. for these may go iout
of style before another year But 1he
standard furs. the mink, the sable, tine
heavy seal, The other, the Persian lanlfos

ones while TO investigate them. They
can be bought for few dollars. and

Their Pretty Drapings.

Handmade dresses. delightful in their
pretty drapings and traceries. lovely N
their ernbroideries, charming III their
little dainty fnishings are the gowns
which are the most admired this early
spring.
1t is too soon to talk of spring, yet
one can begin to look ahead While
wearing ones winter coat and ones
heavy furs one can see how the gown
is to be Iightened next month and how
the touches of spring are to be put into
1t. Though Easter is 700 far off for one
to hear the singing of the birds, one can
fancy ones heavy beaver hat, with its
deep ostrich feather taken off and a
bunch of pink roses substituted to give
the lock of spring. Or. better still, one
can picture it with the feather off and
the hat trimmed with a band of ribbon,
with smart chou AZ the side with TWO
birds wings standing up from the chou
Such are the possibilities of magma
ton.
Now is the time to make over your old
gown A woman took her plain white
aIbatross waist the other day and re-
fitted it for handsome wear She en-
broiderea very large daisies upon the
box plat down the middle of the front
She did them in pale blue, for the daisies
were large picture daisies. She then cut
out the center of the petals making an
openwork vine of flowers down the
front She followed this up with double
rows of eyeiet holes down each side Of
the box plat and she worked the eyelet
holes all in blue TO make a very hand
some imitation of English embroidery.

Tails on Coats.

There were long tails and the entire
coat was bordered with hand embroid-
CIV in MANY colOrs. II was very
handsor e coat, a veritabie picture coat
The gown underneath was quite simple,
heing nothing more elaborate than a
tan ccIored taffeta with embroidered
dots and a vest of blue.
Another striking costume consisted of
n t1r1tIoise velvet coat worn over skirts
of embroidered muslin There was
decorated turquoise blue grille and
trrauoise stock OF course there was
bis hat trimmed with turquoise blue
feathers.
Perhaps the most distinguished cos
tune along these lines was worn by a
dowager whose taste ran to plum bloom,
that shade of purple There was a coat
OF plum bloom satin, trimmed along the
edge with pailettes Of black jet. The
gown worn with this deep plum colored
coat was a lovely bright green. with
girdIe of plum colored velvet. and with
INNINGS of the same plum color upon
skirt and waist.

VARIETY of Perfumes

Many of the perfumes given of by
flowers of the valerian species, by the
rose, rue. many varieties Of tulip, etc.
are products of valerie acid, the es-
senee of rue, of aenanthic ether. ca
pronic acid. myricylic alcohol etc There
is no doubt about the effects which these
chemicals produce on the system; the
nervous system, especially the nerves OF
the stomach, are greatly depressed II
the perfume is very intense, and the
room poorly ventilated. the respiration
may become very slow and superficial.
the mise weak. the mind haZy. and
even fafnting and swooning away may
occur. However, If inhaled in the open
air. there are certain classes Of people
who may derive great benefit from
these perfumes, especially those suffer
ing from any representative condition
