A gown worn at the opera was prin-
cess robe of black, literally covered with
black sequins; and with this no Jewels
were worn, as they would have detract-
ed from the effect desired, that one OF
grace and simplicity. A rival Of the
black sequin gown was white princess
with tiny silver spangles frosting it over.
Silver is very fashionable just now, and
one will not be apt to make a mistake If
one employs a touch of it in stock or
belt, or uses 1t for general trimming.
One disadvantage is its furnishing, but
as everybody else's does also it makes
less difference than il one were the in
dividual sufferer.
Red is trying very hard to lead, but as
yet we cannot say it is the most fashion
able shade of the winter. Green might
almost receive this distinction, one sees
it used on so many good costumes, and 1t
is seen occasionally forming with fine
effect the entire dress. One effective
street costume of deep red redingote,
skirt, and small hat of the same shade,
and the hat was trimmed with rosy
plume. A DeduLl1ul pluh NdL AdIAOu was
noticed, the gown of pale pink trimmed
with leaves of velvet Of deeper shade.
A chou of pink tulle at the neck gave an
airy look to this rose-colored creation;
and one gazing at the whole would think
he were looking through rose-colored
spectacles.
Just now it is hard to tell exactly what
styles are to be. even the dressmakers
seem undecided as to skirts-waistS can
take care Of themselves; we are sure
about the broad shoulders, the fulness OF
sleeves at the top. But as to skirts: they
cling, and yet they stand out; few
dressmakers have begun to put crinoline
in up to the knees, though they may have
to take it out before the dress Is laid
aside. There is a tendency to show full
ness at the waist line on the new spring
models, but as yet most of the skirts
are close about the hips and part way
down to the knees. Ruffles are to bs
used great deal, both on skirts and
on waists.

timed and the consuls carriage was be-
yond the danger line when the awful
explosion took place. The fronts OF
40 houses were completely wrecked, 81
persons were wounded, among them st.
Regent, and 20 killed.
In 1885 Paris was the scene of anoth-
err attempt to assassinate ruler, this
time Louis Philippe the intended vic
tim. The machinery this time was
more complicated than the gunpowder
and grapeshot of st. Regent. In room
facing on a thoroughfare along which
Louis was accustomed to drive, the as
sassin Fieschi fitted up machine that
we'll deserved the name Of Internal; 1t
consisted Of Is gun barrels spread out
on a stout frame, like the ribs of a
fan, and so set that fire from their
muzzles would rake the street below.
The machine was placed just behind
the blinds of the window, and on the
day of the procession in commemora-
ton of the kings accession, the gun
barrels were charged with powder, four
balls rammed in each, the touch-holes
connected by a powder chain. AS the
king came opposite the window, Fies-
chi opened his blind and lighted the
train of powder. On unthinking peo-
pie opened up rain of lead, 40 fell,
dead or wounded. In some miraculous
way the king escaped.
Twenty-three years later Paris was
again the scene of attempted regicide,
and again the ruler escaped. 1t was in
the reign of Napoleon III. that Orsini
and two accomplices threw the famous
Orsini bombs, things planned with
fiendish cunning. They were little
iron cases, the shape of pear, the
larger end made heavy SO as to fall
foremost when the bomb was thrown
from the hand. Each shell had on the
larger end Is nipples, the size suitable
for an ordinary percussion cap. The
shells were filled with the most violent
explosive obtainable, and Orsini and
two companions, armed with these, sta
toned themselves in a group along the
route the emperor and empress were
to take. Suddenly the quiet OF the
progress was broken by three dreadful
explosions, and when the smoke cleared
away It was found that the imperial
carriage was shattered, a horse killed
and two footmen wounded. Napoleon
and the empress were unframed.
When presently deadly dynamite
came into use, the Internal machine
took on different construction and the
plotters were called dynamiters A
reign of terror ensued, especially in
England and Russia. England, per-
haps because of the small personal part
in government taken by the English
ruler, had been singularly free from the
regicidal fury affecting some OF the
continental nations; but when the dy-

That was the first hymn Mr.. Sankey
ever sang with Mr. Moody. He has said
that while a revenue collector in Penn
sylvania he visited Y. M. c.. A. conven-
ton in indianapolis and heard Moody
for the first time. When the evangelist,
who was later his colleague in the vine
yards of soul-saving effort, called for
the hymn, Mr.. Sankey, from his place in
the rear of the hall, joined in the sing
ing. At that moment there was awali-
enpd in him realization of a grand pos
session-the power Of his voice.
He never cultivated this voice Critics
said it was not a complete voice, but mil
liens who heard it subsequently failed
to define it's sweetness. They knew he
could sing-felt the effect of it-while
no hall in which he sang his hymns ever
could hold the crowds that sought adj
mission Until two years ago all the
strength of that voice was put into a
song, Mr.. Sankey said then that he
had a range wider than that which cap
tivated millions abroad on the famous
trip with Moody. But to-day 1t is
doubtful if Mr.. Sankey could sing
loud enough to attract the attention of
one of his faithful nurses. Two of the
latter are in attendance on him.

life Taciturn as an Indian. grim an6
silent as a man crushed with a deep
sorrow, Mr.. Sankey gives no sign that

Mortified, so indelibly associated
with Moody and Sankey, is deeply inter-
ested in the remaining unit of this once
powerful evangelical team. But not
even the best informed person in the
schools on the banks Of the Connecticut
may tell of the whereabouts of Mr.
Sankey. Softly, almost with the rev.
erence that old world people discuss
their sovereigns, the people of the North
field school say that they hope to hear
OF the speedy rehabilitation Of the
broken man.

greatest song, is related by man who
