of tho river with Greenwich on the

the danger of the work may be im

TRAVELING SKIHT8 WTTn POCKETS.
The faot that an article may have
been principally used for mischievous
purposes is not, and should not bo ft
bar to its adoption when it can be
made to serve useful ends. Tho ao
count of the arrest of a woman woar
ing a skirt with largo pockets sug
gested to an ingenious damsel a most
happy possibility.
lJoing fond of taking short trips,
and very much disliking tho cumber
someness of a satchel or bag, she
made a scries of pockets in a pettiooat.
These were designed to bold brush and
comb, manicure set, powder in a tiny
package, and other small articles that
she might need. A littlo pastboard
bos not much larger than a good-sized
candy box held a lawn gown and
India silk and laoo matinee. When
she wished a further equipment, a
larger box was provided, and an ex
tra waist put in, as well as a pair of
silk bose and such other necessaries
ns the length of stay demanded. Of
course, immediately on her arrival
the toilet artioles were arranged on
tho dressing case, and her skirts wero
relieved of all weight.
Sho says that this arrangement is
infinitely more convenient thau the
old fashion of carrying a traveling
bag. She told her idea to some young
friends, and soveral of thorn have ex
pressed their determination to try the
experiment. There might be times
when such a device would have very
evident uses. Certainly anything that
will reduce tho bulk of hand luggago
is to be welcomed, especially if the
wenther is unpleasant and one must
hold up the dress or carry an um
brella. On one occasion this young woman
took waist, matinee, night dress and
toilet articles in these pockets. Sho
had to carry an umbrella and hold up
nor dress, ana thanked her stars that
she had no parcels with which her
hands need be occupied.
Ingenuity is a good thing, and
when it works in the direction of sav
jug trouble and worry it is exceeding
ly well applied. New York Ledger,
nAIL TO TIIB HOOrSKIBT.
HoopskirU are coming back into
fashion.
Two of the Parisian fashion journals
received in New York last week con
tained pictures of the rejuvenated
hoop, with long descriptions of it.
But before the Paris papers came with
tho pictures hoopskirts were already
displayed at two very swell shops in
this city one in a big Sixth avenue
show window, the other in the' window
of a Fifth avenue modoste.
Small groups of women gathered
daily and looked at them, apparently
with pain.
Tho new hoopskirt does not differ
to any great extent from those worn
during the days of tho Kepublioau
Court by Mr. Washington, Mrs. Will
iam Duer, Mrs. Alexander Hamilton,
Mrs. Johu Jay, Mrn. Harrison Gray
Otis, Mrs. William ISingbani, tho
great Philadelphia leader of too'ety
and fas-hion, and by many others.
The hoopskirts now ou exhibition
in this city wero manufactured here
two weeks ago by a well-known bustle
manufacturer as soon as the news
camo ttcrofs tho water that tho old
fashion was to return. Fashion jour
nals show patterns for skirts to be
worn with the now hoop.
One of these shows a skirt contain
ing thirteen gores, having straight
edges meeting bius edges in the seams,
which are to be plaited and gathered
slightly at the back. To make this
skirt for women of medium size re
quires 141 yards of material twenty-
two inches wide. This would give a
circumiorenco at tho bottom of 121
feet. No crinoline or extra heavy
lining is to be used. Tho hoops are
supposed to do all ol the flaring neces
sary. The modistes who were inter
viewed said they had received no or
ders yet for skirls to bo mado for
hoops, but that as the edict had gone
abroad they expected orders soon. The
makers aud the wearers on this side of
the Atlantic do not favor the hoop.
Tho bustle is already here in vrout
numbers, una is freely advertised by
several of the large establishments.
Probably those who most bitterly
regret the coming of the hoop are the
ollicials and stockholders of tho street
ruihvay transportation lines. It is es
timated that ttiree women wearing the
new hoops will occupy oue euino side
of a liroadway cablu car. The top of
tue Fifth avenua stage is suggested as
the best and mo-st convenient place for
hoop-wearers tu ride. New York

Tho word whiskers is derived from

which means a slight brush. Less thau
a century ago the expression was un
heard of the whiskers as well as the
mustache being spoken of as part of
the beard. It v. a, only when the latter
was divided, and the true whiskers dis
appeared as well, that their name was
changed to the mutton chop part of
the beard left on the cheek.

A DANOEnOUS ItOAD.
A road leads through this world, my
friends, a road that Is broad aud smooth, nud
well trodden by the merry foet of countless
thousands, who nro hurrying onward nud
downward, says tho last Issue of Temperance
Truth. It starts in tho high region of lawful
indulgence and is miscalled the road of
moderation. At first tho descent is gentle,
but gradually it becomes more abrupt, until
finally It ends in the valley of excess.
Many aro traveling ou this road many
who think they are safe, becHUse, for a long
time, it may bn, they have Loan accustomed
to use aleohollo stimulants without going to
exoess. Some may not reach the gloomy
end; for while it Is true that not every
moderate drinker becomes a drunkard, yet
It Is absolutely true that evorv drunkard w as
once a moderate drinker. Are you of the
class of constant drlnkors? Have vou felt
the desire for Btlinulants Insensibly grow
upon you? Have you felt the narrowiuH
clutch of irresistible habit? It would bo
better to get wtthlu the safe barriers of total
abstinence at once, ltetrace your steps will la
yet there is time, and come back to tho
region of safety. For that durk and dreary
valley Is lining up with neglected grave:
over each of which experience aud wisdon
and truth have united to place this mournful
inscription: ;
"Hero lies tho wreck of what was onco tha
noblest handiwork of God a man with an
immortal soul redeemed ,y rue, blood o!
Christ. F.ternal rest has not been granted Id
him, for thB blood of Christ lias been shod
for him in vain. Perpetual light does not
shlno upou hi in, for it is written that no
drunkard ahull inherit the kingdom of God."
TUE 1NEBHIATE BECOME TUB INSANE.
Dr. Crothors, of Hartfonl, Conn., who has
had long experience in tho management oJ
institutions for the inebriate aud insane,
says that "inebriety is tho active cause ot
from llfteen to fifty per cent, of all insanityj
from thirty to eighty per oent. of all idiocy;
from sixty to niuety percent, of all pauper
ism, and from fifty to eighty-tlve per cent,
of all crime," aud then usks the question,
"Who cau estimato the relief of the taxpay
