DRESS REFORM IDEAS IN 1882.

Four "Don'ts" Proposed as Start In
the Right Direction.
A coterie of ladies at Amsterdam
edit a periodical paper called the ''Eu-
phrosyne." 1t was this paper which
first proposed the creation of nation
al costume for the female lieges of the
Dutch sovereign; and its example has
been followed by a coterie of gentle
men, who now publish journal for
the promotion of a national costume.

ment of national industry"
II American editors would but en-
gage in this cause with the zeal of the
worthy mynheers. we should conf
IDENTIFY expect success in this matter of
a national costume. Now we can only
hope.
However, We will propose a few
rules in cur department of regulating
female costume, as a sample of our
taste. These will be prOhibitOry mere
ly. Every person knows the necessity
of eradicating or exposing false no
tions before enforcing right ideas.
1. No lady shall wear more than
seven distinct colors in her dress at
the same time-that being enough to
form a rainbow.
2. No lady shall wear cOlOred or
clouded stockings with a white dress.
3. No married lady shall appear in
a pink bonnet 1--WE should like to ex

4. No lady, who hopes to be mar

Ike Boyer of Helena left yesterday
morning fer Madison county points.
and while waiting in Butte the night
before told some interesting tales Of
his experience while making the ter
ritory in southern Montana which is
not yet covered by the railroad.
"The time of my life" he said, was
experienced between Bannack and Ar
genta. was making the trip by stage
and my driver was one of the old
time stage drivers Of the overland
road. The only name I ever knew for
his was Shorty and he was one OF
the best that ever pulled the ribbons
over a team of horses in Montana.
Shortly after We left Argenta It
began showing, but We paid little at.
tentiOn to the storm, being wrapped
up comfortably. When We topped
the hill and started across the foot
hills to connect with the old Ban
mack road We ran into the teeth of
the blizzard. The thermometer be-
gan dropping rapidly and almost be.
fore we knew it We found ourselves
chilling fast. To add to our trouble
the air became SO filed with snow
that we could not see the length of
our sled ahead of us. The storm
came so fast and fierce that the
horses refused to face it. and before
We realized 1t we were OF the road
and the horses were helplessly floun-
dering through the snow, which
seemed almost bottomless. By this
time darkness had come and We were
of the trail.
ITO make the matter worse the
horses in floundering broke the
tongue from the sled and We were
holed up for good. Then we saw that
We were in for it for the night and
prepared to make the best of a bad
bargain. There was a little straw in
the bottom of the sled and We tied
the horses up SO that they could eat
this. The driver and myself walked
back and forth, about a rod apart, all
night long and in this manner man

it seemed as if the night would never
come to an end.
occasionally I would get uncom-
monty tired and sleepy and would at
tempt to doze of, but Shorty would
stand for nothing of the sort. He
would rouse me by drastic means, if
necessary, and make me continue my
walk to and fro opposite him. Final
", after the lapse of at least a CEN
tury, the night came to an end and
daylight began showing around the
yulch. With the approach of day the
storm went down and the air cleared.

and before long found a pole that
could be used as a sled tongue, and

Again the match goes out. but Dick
does not care now. He knows where
the door lies, and is Immediately at it,
shakes it vigorously as an imprisoned
lion might the door of his cage. 1t is
quite useless, for a heavy bar or bolt
secures it outside.
He returns to the window; since one
plan has failed he will try another.
Down the ladder he goes quickly, to
meet his comrades at the foot.
"Well?" says the Frenchman.

Colonel Bob.

At this the others express their dis
appointment by succession of
grunts. but the acute Gaul has read
more in the voice of the messenger.
You are not hopeless-you have at
least made one discovery" he ejacu-
lates, whereupon Dick only too glad
ly relates all about the finding Of the
letter, and what it contains-he has
the words very pat. while the missive
itself lies in pocket next his heart,
perhaps some day to be framed and
hung up in remembrance OF what be-

new difficulty-he never allows such
thing to daunt him.

"And found it secure-it would take

a slip on this sloping roof would be
apt to be followed by unpleasant con-

ders, which indicates a good deal more
than his words do.
The ladder is once more brought

they find themselves again upon the

grim building.

Very curious is the method of fish
ing followed by the Chinese in the
Straits of Malacca. The fisherman
lets down from the side of the boat
a screen of white canvas stretched on
wood. The shoal of fish mistake this
for some floating obstruction and try
to leap over it. with the result that
the fish jump into the boat and are
thus captured. This method is en-
