An Emprrm' H'hlma
The Empress Josephine, the first
wife of the first Napoleon, had #120,-
000 for iter personal expenses, but this
sum was not sufficient, and her debts
increased to an appalling degree. Not
withstanding the position of her hus
band, she could never submit to either
order or etiquette in her private life.
She rose at 9 o'clock. Her toilet con
sumed much time, and she lavished
unwearied efforts on the preservation
and embellishment of her person. She
changed her linen three times a day >
and never wore any stockings that
were not new. Huge baskets were
brought to her containing different
dresses, shawls ami hats. From these
Blie selected her costume for the day.
' She possessed between 900 and 400
shawls, and always wore one in the
morning, which she draped about her
shoulders with unequaled grace. She
purchased .ill that were brought to her,
no matter at what price. The even
ing toilet was as careful as that of the
morning; then she appeared with (low
ers, pearls or precious stones in her
hair. The smallest assembly was al
ways an occasion for her to order a
new costume, in spite of the hoards of
dresses in the various palaces. Hona
• # 1
parte was irritated by these expendi
tures ; he would fly into a passion, and
his wife would weep and promise to
be more prudent, after which she would
go on in the same way. It is almost
incredible that this passion for dress
should never have exhausted itself.
After the divorce she arrayed herself
with the same care, even when she saw
no one. She died covered with ril>-
bons and pale rose-colored satin.
Th C lever Women of Xfilro
Spanish tradition respecting the fair
sex has not entirely died out in Mexico,
and it is with some difficulty that a
woman is able to do any work ex
cept that of teaching.
The stand taken by Senorita Mon.
tova, of l'uebla, is worthy of notice.
At the age of twelve years this remark
able girl had finished the course of
Study at the young ladies' a aderoy
where she attended, but she was re
fused a final examination because it
was never given to pupils under six
teen, Resolved to waste no time, she
pursued alone the studies of botany,
philosophy, chemistry and other sub
jects preparatory to the study of med
icine, upon which her whole mind was
bent. Before she was fifteen her fa
ther. an officer in the army, died, leav.
ing the family penniless, and she at
once, assuming the support of her wid
owed mother, took up the business of
nursing, making a spoi ial study of the
diseases of her own sex. Under a pri
vate tutor-he studied Greek, Latin and
mathematics, and at length applied for
admission to the medical college at l'u
ebla. After much opposition she stic
ceeded in obtaining permission from
the government to enter as a special
student. While pursuing her studies
she has supported herself by teaehing
and bv acting as physician in the wo
men's hospital. She has recently passed
an examination with high honors, and
wiH soon receive her degree as doctor
of medicine. She is now about twen
ty-five years old.
Art culture is also well-developed
among Mexican women. At the re
cent exhibition of paintings, held to cel
ebrate the centennial of the academy
of fine arts in the city of Mexico, the
second prize was awarded to Senorita
Elena Barreiro, the first having been
given to Felix I'arra. ayoung Mexican

suing bis studies in F. urope.— St. Louis

I Athlon
Even mantles are made of plaid
Stuffs.
Double faced ribbons are again in
style.
fashmere is a popular early dress
fabric.
I Rose of Egypt is one of the rarest
fchades.
I'hine patterns in dress goods are In
great favor.
Gay colors in costumes are worn only
In the house.
Bottle green velvet trims ecru cash
► mere admirably.
Poppies or lilies are the accepted
corsage bouquets.
Brides' dresses are made with elegant
jimplicity this season.
Flush boots, foxed with ki.l, are a
not very pretty novelty.
I All elegant street dresses are stylish
dark or neutral tinted.
j Summer dress goods are exceedingly
beautiful m nearly all materials.
Enormous brass candlesticks are now
used on fashionable dinner-tables.
Gold thistles and gold burrs are the
latest millinery and hair ornaments.
Amber, topaz, and all yellow stones
are In vogue for ornamental jewelry.
Chicken down —the color of the new
ly hatched is the latest shade of yet
low.
Jerseys, composed of both silk and
wool, are much worn over skirts of
muslin, silk, foulard, sateen and other
materials.
The requisite dash of yellow in a
white toilet is sometimes given by
wearing an amber necklace and amber
bracelets, or with yellow topaz, jewelry.
New slippers are made in short bead
embroidered toes, cut high at the heel
with straps around the ankle and tit-el
upon the instep with wide ribbon, in a
neat bow.
A quaint little head-dress is of black
luce, quite full ; two rows, one falling
front, one back ; full loops of geranium*
red ribbon on the top, and two each
side, with quillings of the lace.
Outlining in fancy work is now
very popular for shams, tidies, and Gibs,
bureau covers and splashers. It is
greatly favored because of the rapidity
with which it can be executed.
Deep bunting collars wrought in
striking designs of la- e work, are cho
sen ;us a becoming completion to some
toilettes. They are worn long enough
to answer the purpose of a small cape.
Tennis suits are made of all sorts of
gay woolen material, in stripes and
plaids. A combined tennis suit of
bright blue and red, trimmed with
Russian embroidery, and a hat to
match, is very effective.
The prediction that satin would go
out of use was an error, fur while gros
grains are leading for street wear, sat
ins are found as acceptable as ever fur
the rich and dressy costumes worn in
doors.
The natural hues of (lowers have
never been more admirably depicted
than they now are in the new brocad
ed silks ; at adistance many of these silk
designs would be mistaken for band
painting.
A really pretty style for a long,
slender neck is a narrow, stiff, slightly
flaring standing collar, in color,
covered with lace, with a rraje full
ruche inside. A pleating of lace falls
on the shoulders, and forms u full jabot
front.
The bridal veil may be either as long
as the train of the dress or as short as
the waist line, but it must not be of
tulle if the bride is youthful. If she is
over twenty-five or thirty it may be of
any line, delicate real luce, and shorter
than the youthful brides' veil.
The long gloves worn over tight
sleeves are discarded. Loose wri-ded
gloves vie for preference with the but
toned wrists. Some fancy gloves have
ribbons inserted at the wrists and half
way frotn the top, with elastic under*
neath, that holds them to the arm.
A Hard Lire.
The average rate of wages received
by the laisirer in Ireland, says a corres
pondent, is about nine shillings a week.
Out of this sum he has, of course, to
keep himself and his family. Heoften
has to pay froni thirty shillings to two
pounds a year for his little cabin, anil
perhaps a miserable patch of ground
around it, on which he painfully toils
—when he is lucky enough to have it
—to grow potatoes. In many cases a
man pays as much as four pounds a
year for his cabin. In a consi lerable
number of instances the laborer who
is not in constant employment en
gages to give a day's work each week
as the rent of his house. This arrange
ment sometimes acts harshly against
him. The farmer who has let him his
hut does not. perhaps, want his laiwr
during a considerable part of the year,
and does want it at spring-time, and at
harvest, when wages are at their high
est. The laliorer has to turn out then
and give his work without reference
to the increased rate of wages, and
thus has virtually to pay a genuine
rack-rent for his miserable homestead-
A very miserable place it truly Is.
Viewed from the outside, it is a small,
lop-sided wigwam, built of stones and
mud, with a thatched roof, and with
three holes left in the front wall to art
the part of door and windows. The
traveler who stops to look into one of
these huts seems at first to see nothing
hut darkness visible. When his eves
get used to the lack of light he sees a
hovel almost alisolutely devoid of fur
niture, and very often consisting of
only one room for the family, however
numerous, to live in. A cabin with a
second room in it is a somewhat excep
tional possession with the Irish lalmrer
of the poorest class. The food of the
laborer consists principally of potatoes,
or else of Indian meal mixed with flour
and soda. Tea of the thinnest and
poorest kind, oftener without milk than
with It, is the enjoyment of thelatmrer
and his family. It is the drink they
would have at all times if they could
nly get it 1 suppose there still are
. X
i , persons in this country who think of
t the Irish agricultural laborer as of a
j man going about perpetually with u
1 bottle of whisky in his hand, and ready
at every opportunity to lift the mouth
of the bottle to his lips. 1 wonder
whether such persons have ever con
sidered what the price of a bottle of
whisky—even of the rawest and vilest
whisky—-would he, and how many
such bottles the Iristi peasant could
treat himself to in the course of a year
out of the surplus of his wages? The
truth is that the laborer of this class
very seldom drinks spirits or porter
unless when somebody better off than
himself Is generous enough to stand
him a treat. Nor can he easily keep
himself warm by less dangerous means
than the swallowing of strong drinks-
For more than half the year in some
places he finds it very hard to get fuel
for his poor little household lire, and is
often dependent on the brush wood or
rotten sticks which his wife and his
daughter may gather from the roadside
or the ditches.
