FOR THE LADIES. ,
1 Cloth Co.tnmr.. ,- -
Cloth is the fashionable woolen fabrio
for street costnwes thia winter, - It is
worn in all its varieties, such as the
smooth habit cloth called Amazon or
lady's cloth, the tricot, which is in
small figures like armure, and the
ough-flmished Cheviots like those worn
by gentlemen. The simple and stylish
cloth suits made by a tailor, are per
haps most in ' favor, though there are
many imported oostumes of cloth that
are far more showy. The tailor-m&de
suits rely upon their fine fit for their
beauty, as they have no trimmings but
the usual rows of machine stitching,
and some plaiting on the bottom of
he skirt; later in the winter a border

and a separate collar and cuffs of fnr
will be added to the coat For slen
der ladies the basques of suoh dresses
are made double-breasted, with a
single box-plait closely stitched
down , each front, and one double
box plait in the back. A slit is left
open each side of the back, between The
middle forms and side forms, A wide
stitched belt is strapped on the side
seams; there is a slit for a breast pocket,
and side pockets also; the collar is By
ron shape, and tta cuffs are square. If
the basque is intended for a full figure
the plaits are omitted, and it is a sim
ple postilion basque, single or double
breasted, straight around or shorter on
the hips, as best suits the wearer's taste.
The skirt is cut off about the knee and
box plaiting is added to finish out the
length, or else the skirt is entirely plain,
with several rows of stitching near the
foot, and this is afterward trimmed with
a border of fur. The oversliirt is draped
permanently on the lower skirt, being
sewed in the same belt. This may be
the ordinary round apron, or it may be
pointed low" on one side. The bouffant
appearance given many new dresses is
not congruous with these suits, and
tailors say with pleasure that bustles can
not be worn with the costumes they mane
as the heavy fabrio will weight them
down. For very young ladies the newest
cloth basque is very short, being only
three inches below the waist, and this
s often a separute piece sewed to a
round waist and curved in the tront be
low the waist line. For the street a
coat of cloth may be added, and warm
ly lined. This may be single-breasted,
but is most often double-breasted, and
is of medium length, with two box
plaits behind. The cloths imported
by tailors are of excellent quality, and
cost usually $5 a yard. Eight yards is
the average quantity required for a suit.
The range of prices for such suits is
from $75 to $125; with the lowest
priced suits there is no extra coat for
the street. Tailors protest against the
nse of braid and frogs on cloth cos
tumes, but ladies who have their own
fanoies carried out insist upon having
these additions in the way of trimming.
The thick tubnlar braid about a fourth
of an inch wide is put around the skirt
and overskirt in parallel rows, and the
basque has trefoil trimming of braid
aoross the bust, on the cuffs, tho cor
ners of the Byron collar, and on the
middle forms of the back.
Imported cloth costumes are more
elaborately draped and trimmed than
the stylishly-severe suits made to or
der. Plush is the trimming most used
upon these, and this is usually of a
contrasting color, and tho polonaise is
the favorite overdress for such suits.
A long, simply-sliaped polonaise of
myrtle or bronze-green cloth has
double-breasted fronts fastened diago
nally by bronze or old silver buttons,
and the cellar and cuffs are of ombre
striped plush shading from ecru to
green, or else brocaded plush in leaf
pattern is used in dark-red shades, or
perhaps green shades. The skirt i
then quite plain, with two great box
plaits behind, a cluster of side-plaits
down the middle of the front, and a
wide border at the foot of the plush
trimming. The leopard-spotted plush
is also liked for trimming dark-brown,
tan-colored and ecru plush suits for
young ladies; theso youthful-looking
diesses have a little pelerine cape of
the plush, also a muff, and sometimes
a turban. The London suits of cloth
have braiding upon them in designs
rather too elaborate to suit fastidious
tastes, and sometimes cloths of two
shades are used in tlie same costume,
the darker shade forming the principal
part of the costume, and stitched bands,
plaitings, collar, cuffs and pockets, an
swering for trimming, are made of the
lighter shade. blocks, stripes and
small c becks of Cheviots are chosen b
young ladies for their cloth suits, and
in these the Prussian blue shades are
very fashionable, also the copper reds,
seal brown trimmed with green, or the
opposite of this green cloth with
brown plush accessories and finally
the mustard and olive shades of Cheviot
with dam garnet plush, or else sapphire
blue or myrtle green.

Splendors of a Mcdiieral Banquet.
When Henry III. of France and King
of Poland was on his return to Paris to
take up the government which had de
volved upon him by the death of Cath
erine de Medici's two elder sons, he
passed through Venice, and the recep
tion given to him by the Queen of the
Adriatic is a fair specimen of numerous
displays of a like nature. On the Vene
tian frontier a goodly number of sena
tors and councillors met the king; Lis
gondola was spread with gold brocade;
the nobles toled off to attend him were
dressed in flowing robes of silk; sixty
halberdiers as guards of honor wore
liveries of orange-colored silk, and car
ried ancient battle-axes. Four hundred
rowers sped the royal craft on its way
to the Lido, followed by countlessgon
dolas of the nobility draped in cloth of
gold and resplendent with mirrors and
arms. On the Lido was erected a tri
umphal arch, of which Palladio, the
celebrated Vicenzan, had been the archi
tect, and which Tintoretto and Palo
Veronese had painted. The king was
lodged in the Foscari palace, adorned
for the purpose with everything that
was rich in tapestry and gold. But the
banquet in the evening was the most
striking ceremony. It took place at
the Giudecca, just over against the
favorite hotel of modern Venice ; the
oyal gondol i glided down the grand
canal amid soft-sounding music, and at
the steps the monarch was received by
twelve noblemen dressed in picturesque
mariner's costume, blue satin with
scarlet facings, each with a lady in
white resting on his arm. Three thou
sand guests awaited the king's advent
into the. courtyard, resplendent with
jewels and gold brocade. To while away
the time before the banquet was an
nounced, an acrobat performed gym
nastio feats for fie edification of the
guests, and all around was assembled a
sparkling fleet of gondolas with their
torches and gilded prows, and their
crimsohdamask coverings floated in the
waves, for there were no sumptuary laws
in those days, and no restraint on display.
Tables were laid to accommodate the
3,000. For tho royal entertainment a
curious sui prise was prepared. Henry
was invited to seat himself at a table
made entirely of sugar ; the napkins,
plates, knives, forks, etc., were all
made of that commodity ; so good was
the deception that the king complacently
sat down, but on taking up his napkin
he found it crumble beneath his grasp.
The plate beforo the king had upon it
the figure of a queen seated on two
tigers, which had on their breasts the
arms of France and Poland. On tbe
right of the royal seat were two sugar
lions with a pallas and a justice of like
material, while on his left stood a'sugar
St. Mark and a sugar David, and on
the tablo were spread horses, trees,
ships, etc., all of sugar. After the re
past 1,270 figures of sugar were dis
tributed among the fair sex as a
pleasing memorial of the event. Afttr
this episode the king was taken to a
more substantial table and to food
of a more substantial character. At the
intervals of courses, comedies were
acted and poems suDg; around the hall
were planted rare trees and odorous
plants, baskets full of fruit hung from
the ceiling, and tame hares, rabbits and
birds were chained among the trees
with silken cords. The repast lasted
for four hours, and ninety courses
passed before tho royal eyes; and then
at the end of all things a huge pie was
opened from which issued birds, and
the guests arose to give them chase,
the prize for the largest bag being an
ostrich egg set in gold. With this be
fran the dancing and revelry of the
evening. These public banquets were
imitated extensively in private life
Four to five hundred ducats was an or
dinary sum for a Venetian to spend on
an entertainment. Tho art of cooking
was carried to a ridiculous excess; into
every dish it was deemed necessary to
cast some gold dust to give it what
they termed " the heart." Frazer's
Magazine.
Gloucester Sailors.
The following is from "Around Cape
Ann," by Hiram Rich, in the Century
Mogmine :
Six sloops, one boat, and one shallop
composed the Cape Ann fleet in 1093 ;
now it has nearly five hundred sail, of
almost twenty-eight thousand tons, and
Gloucester is the largest fishing port
in the land. Its fleet is manned by men
of every clime. A tide of young men,
mainly from the provinces, sets stead
ily toward this port. Many have the
characteristic recklessness of the sailor,
and earnings of weeks are spent be
tween sunset and sunrise. There is
among them no sailor cut of clothes,
and ashore they follow tho prevailing
fashions, down to lager beer. All
haunts are prepared for Jack, and he is
prepared foi all haunts. As in all other
callings, thrift follows prudence and in
dustry, though he seems to lie open to
the changes and chances of luck. You
will see his cottage commanding the
finest sea view, for on the heights lie
the cheapest lots. Alas ! that the wait
ing wife can also look harborward on
every coming sail, often to see the flag
" half-mast "lor wnom f
Here are no labor strikes. The sailor
brings in a fare of fish, perhaps all he
has caught, by themselves; they are
weighed off, the vessel is put to rights,
and he goes up to the counting room
for his check. The whole value of the
fish is reckoned by the vessel-owner or
bis clerk; then is deduoted cost of ice
and bait bought; then one-quarter of
one per cent, for the Widows' and Or
phans' Fund; one-half the remainder
belongs to the owner, the other to him
From his part is then deducted charges
for wood-sawing and splitting, for
water, medicine-chest, condensed milk,
and any charge for labor on the vessel
which belonged to him to do, but which
has been hired done. His check is
then handed him, and be presents it
in person, or it finds its devious way to
the bank by other perhaps not cleaner
lianas.
- s A New Religions Sect.
lf irliio-nn has criven birth to a new re
ligious seot, which is mainly composed
of dissenters from other denominations.
The new denomination is called " The
Living Church of God," and the mem
bers are called 1 the chosen." From all
accounts they are a very singular peo
ple. ' According to a correspondent of
the Chicago Inter-Ocean, the members
are' admitted to the society with great
form and a prescribed order of exer
cises, much like some of the secret so
cieties. They claim to be possessed of
some very grave secrets regarding the
near approach of the end of the world
which have been imparted to them by
divine aspiration. A delegation of
twelve of their members, as chosen
apostles, have been selected to prepare
a proper Bible for their use, and which
will not be given to any outside of the
families of the chosen. It will contain
the articles of faith, and is supposed to
be mainly composed of extracts from
the Old Testament as they discard the
new version. In some respects they
are communists, as all members who are
worth over $3,000 put their pronertv
together and divide the profits pro
rata. They take many customs from
the Jews, and have a large number of
holy days, which they keep very strictly,
besides Saturday and Sunday of each
week, which are observed as days of
rest. They do not have anything to do
with outsiders any more than is strictly
necessary. U. hey never marry but once,
and in the event of the death of husband
or wife, remain single the remainder of
their life. Divorce and separation are
not allowed, and any difficulty which
may come up in the family ofrchurch
are brought before the twelve elders,
from whose decision there is no appeal.
In their dress and mode of living they
are very simple, the men wearing their
hair cut short and laces smoothly
shaven, and the women wearing only
their natural hair hanging loosely down
their backs. They are industrious and
frugal, and are accumulating much
property. Much interest is manifested
in them in the communities where they
reside, and their numbers are increasing
very fast. Their preachers literally
obey the Scripture mjanction, and go
about preaching without pay or com
pensation, expecting to get their board,
clothing and the necessaries of life from
their converts.
The Fortune Tellers of New York.
The fortune-telling sisterhood is still
a large one in Gotham, writes the New
York correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press. A good deal ol the plunder that
it picks up goes to the Herald to pay
for advertising. An advertisement that
costs about a dollar may bring in $10 or
$20, as the case may be. The usual
charge for " consultation " is fifty cents
or a dollar, but if the gifted female sees
a chance for a strike, she is not going to
shut her eyes and miss it. The trade
of fortune-telling is now monopolized
by women. Some years ago there were
a few men in the business. They called
themselves astrologists, and had an as
tonishing kind of intimacy with the
stars. But the women now have the
field to themselves. The impression
that all their dupes are of the servant
girl class is a mistake. They catch a
good many even on Fifth avenue. It is
not by any means uncommon to hear a
woman of average intelligence and fair
education say that she believes in fortune-telling.
With a great many women
of this son, the hrst impulse when any
thing goes wrong is to consult a fortune-teller.
The parlor as well as the
kitchen contributes to the coffers of the
card-shuffling swindlers. When the late
Philander Doe6ticks, P. B., wrote up
he fortune-tellers of New lork, s .me
five and twenty years ago, the trade
was considerably hurt for the timo.
But it soon flourished again, and is now
as prosperous as ever, it not more so.
We have a Jaw azainst it, but the har
pies who foil j it don't mind that.
They Both Lied.
Mr. Finlayson, town clerk of Stir
ling, Scotland, was noted for the mar
velous in conversation. He was on a
visit to the Earl of Monteith and Airth,
in the castle of Taha, in tho loch of
Monteith, and was about taking leave,
when he was asked by the Earl if he
had seen the sailing cherry tree.
"No," said Finlayson; "what sort of
a thing is it?"
" It is," replied the Earl, " a tree that
has grown out of a goose's mouth from
a stone the bird had swallowed, and
which she bears about with her in her
voyages round the loch. It is cow in
full fruit of the most exquisite flavor.
Now, Finlayson," he added, " can you,
with all your powers of memory and
f incv, match the story of the cherry
tree?"
"Perhaps I can," said Finlavson,
clearing his throat and adding: "When
Oliver Cromwell was at Airth, one of
the cannons sent a ball to Stirling, and
lodged it in the mouth of a trumpet
which one of the troopers in the castle
was in the act of sounding."
"Was the trumpeter killed ?" asked
the Earl.
"No, my lord," said Finlayson; "ie
blew the ball back and killed tho artil
leryman who fired it."
Children.
No other class touches the chords of
so tender a concern as do the children.
What issues hang on a child's life I In
the palm of the tender little hand is
carried a mother's heart, a father's
hopes. "
If the child misses the path of honor
and falls into evil ways, and grows up
to an evil youth, a mother's heart will
be broken, a father's gray hair will go
down to the grave with sorrow. What
a path the child's tender feet has to
tread I Through what snares, through
what experiences of evil, through what
perilous companionships its life must
run? Who that reflects on the hopes and
fears bound up with every child's life,
the possibilities, alike dread and splen
did, that overshadow it, but has his
heart stirred with a deep and pathetic
longing to do something to rescue these
tender lives from the touch of harm.
A remarkable stampede is in progress
toward the Beni river, in Bolivia, un
explored until last winter, when Dr. E.
It. Heath ascended it and discovered
vast forests of chincona and caoutchouo.
Fully 10,000 men have since gone there,
and the export of rubber alone has risen
from 15,000 pounds to 75,000, with prom

Otters on tho Missouri.
The following extract is from one of
the letters of the New York Herald cor
respondent, who made a canoe voyage
down the Missouri, accompanied bv
Captain Boyton, the latter being in his
rubber suit:
The temperature was below freezing
point when the captain entered the
water on Thursday afternoon, and I be
gan to realize that there were warmer
habitations to bo found than a canvas
canoe. Fortunately we were protected
in a measure from the wind by ranges
of "gumbo" hills, through which we
paddled all the afternoon. These bleak
masses are composed of a sticky sub
stance, which becomes quite slippery in
wet weather. Not a blade of grass will
grow upon it, except here and there
where the natural soil rises to the sur
face. The rain had worn little creeks
in the ravines, and as we passed down
the river hundreds of cascades tinkled
musically, and their waters gushed into
the Missouri and accelerated the cur
rent, much to the satisfaction of the
captain, who is anxious to work south
ward before winter sets in. Ducks and
other wild fowl cowered in niches or
wherever they could gain a foothold
under the banks to escape the
keen wind. The sky was overcast
and not a ray of sunshine appeared
except a momentary gleam during a
slight rain shower which occurred a
5 o'clock. Shortly afterward the river
narrowed considerably, and we were
forced to paddle through a fleet o
snags close to tho west ahore. Upon
examining the shores closely the pres
ence of the snags were explained by
hundreds of beaver slides which were
worn in the mudly slopes. Scores of
trees freshly fellad by these industri
ous little animals lay upon the ground
in all directions, i saw one huge cot
tonwood prostrate, tho trunk of which,
nearly two feet iu diameter, had been
gnawed as neatly as if it had been cut
with a fine eJced tool. It is as
mistake to suppose that the beaver if
almost extinct in America. The bank
of the Missouri are completely hived
with beaver holes, and on the tributary
brooks they are numbered by hundreds
of thousands. We met several trap
pers who were plying their trade in
small covered boats. Some of them had
accumulated 100 skins, ranging in value
frhm $1 to $5 each, but the majority
were merely able to obtain a liviner. and
had to work hard to accomplish even
that. Now and then they trap an otter,
the skin of which sells for a handsome
sum, but otter traps are beginning to
be a rarity.
Talking a Hole Through a Board.
One day at Menlo Park Mr. Edison
had been showing his phonographs and
telephones to a friend, who at last re
marked, in a kind of despair: " Mr.
Edison, you had better invent a ma
chine to talk a holo through a deal
board." In a week the machine Was
complete, and may now be seen on ex
hibition. It consists of a mouthpiece,
with a diaphragm across it, to the center
of which a light steel rod with a
ratchet at the end is attached. On be
ing sung to, the diaphragm and the rod
vibrate rapidly, and the ratchet, gearing
into a little cogwheel, causes it to re
volve. The action of the cogwheel
carries a minute drill. Many in
ventors may have had as many
brilliant ideas few have carried out
so many in actual practical form. The
secret uf Mr. Ediaon's suoooas in this
direction nitty be summed up in his own
words: " Whenever by theory, analogy
and calculation, I have satisfied myself
that the result 1 desire is impossible, I
am then sure that I am on the vergo of
a discovery."
Miraculous Eseaiic.
lit. Pleasant (Iowa) Journal.
It is an experience vouchsafed to very
few, to tread along the border land of
death and yet come back to life, preserved
as if by a miracle. Yet such was the ex
perience of Professor Tice, of St. Louis,
the day following the conclusion of his
conrse of lectures at Burlington, Iowa,
lately, as we learned from Mr. Sam'l L.
Pyle. the well-known druggist of Mt.
Pleasant, in relation to the case. Pro
fessor Tice gives the strongest indorse
ment of the eflicasy of St. Jacobs Oil,
which it is possible to give. It pro
duced immediate relief in an attack of
neuralgia of the chest, where the pulse
had gone down to thirty-live per min
ute, and scarcely perceptible. In half
an hour his pulse was restored to ifc
normal beat of eighty. Four appoint
ments of lectures had to be canceled ii.
consequence. Professor Tice credits
the St. Jacobs Oil with having saved
his life. Mr. Geo. F. W. Willey, the
widely-known teacher here, in recpouse
to an inquiry concerning the remedy,
said : With great pleasure I bear testi
mony to the peculiar healing properties
of St. Jacobs Oil, in rheumatio pains.
Having been a sufferer with this dis
tressing malady for years I do say that
the curative effects of the St. Jacobs
Oil in my case surpassed those of any
other rheumatio remedy, many of which
I had been forced to use. Mr. E. Rugg
spoke from personal experience in stat
ing that he had sufl'ertd a great deal
from rheumatism, and been troubled at
different times with sore throat. He
.purchased a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil
from Mr. Pyle, and after three or four
applications was relieved of his ailment.
Asking Mr. W. A. Rouse what he knew
about the article he said : After great
suffering with pain in the left side, at
tended with severe colic, I was recom
mended to use St. Jacobs Oil. I pur
chased a bottle, took two doses and ap
plied some externally. was relieved
immediately and have not txporienced
any pain since: that of my left side
from which I had suffered for moro
than one year having left me. Such
experiences as these -carry conviction
wiih them to all fair-minded and
thoughtful people, and more firmly
establish the merit of that famous
remedy which, too, has our indorse
ment.
