She had learned to turn a horseshoe
in a blacksmith's shop, and at an en

f wo of the most expert blacksmiths in

placed on the stage, and each contest
ant was allowed a helper to blow his
bellows. Both men and the girl wore
leather aprons peculiar to their call

their rival as they waited for time to

A KEMABKABLK FBINCBSS.
One of the most remarkable features
of the Czarina's suite, according to
the Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don News, is Princess Qalitzin, who
personifies the mistress of the robea of
past oentnries. She is as tall as a
greuadier, dresses most gorgeously,
and wears six ostrich feathers in her
bonnet. Her hair, in plain bands,
surrounds a large face with remark
able teeth. She dominates the whole
scene in which she is plooed, and the
Empress Elizabeth's mistres of the
robes, little Countess Qoes, with her
snowy hair and her eimple back dress,
worn to please her imperial mistress,
offered a strange contrast to tbe Rus
sian oourt lady. The court and the
suites drove in procession of twenty
six carriages so perfectly appointed
that they are the pride of Prince
Liechtenstein. So perfeotly alike are
they that the saying is that the only
difference is tho color of the coach
men's eyes.
NEWEST BOUND BATS.
The conical crown continues to ap
pear on the newest round bats of tho
season. It was hoped that this shape
would come np only to disappear, as
do many other erratio and exaggerated
styles, bnt it seems to gain ground as
the autumn advances. It is a style, 83
a whole laden with its weight of
superfluous garnituresthat ia cer
tainly not in aojordance with the pres
ent elaborate spreading effects in
dress. The steeple-crowned hat of
the typical Welsh woman looks in
unison with the rest of her National
garb the aspiring hat making tip by
its height for the shortness of her
scant skirts, so that proportion is duly
maintained. Some of the new Mother
Qoose styles of bats for dress wear
have supar-loaf crowns and immense
brims, flat all around, or curved at
the sides. These shapes would prove
trying to the most beautiful face or
the most regular features. Many are
of oream-white felt, over decorated
with white plumes, tips, breast feath
er?, beaded galloons, or black and
white effects in ribbon, lace and
plumage. New York Post.

FASHION NOTES. '
Braiding will be one of tbe new
fashions.
Black corded silks and plain satins
will be fashionable.
The flowered silks that wore so poo-
nlar early in the summer will be worn
until late.
The cloth waists for winter will have
tho body of the waist braided and the
sleeves plain.
One of the most fashionable bodices
now worn is the short bolero or zouave
jacket, of which there are many types.
Miniature golf sticks in gold are de
signs in the newest scarf pins made by
the representative jewelers. They are
certaiuly up to date.
Tbe black Alpine bat is to be gen
erally adopted, to the exolusion of the
white with black baud. The latter is
dubbed "too common.'
The recognized finish to every well-
made skirt is a narrow inside foot-frill,
pinked at either edge, which should
be csught to the facing every few
inches.
Skirts of black and white striped
silks are just now desirable and eco
nomical, while they are appropriate)
and harmonious worn either with
black or white chiffon bodices.
Pearls are the fad of tho hour.
Every debutante ot any social aoaount
has one or two strings, costing S1000
or $2000, but tbe society matrons in
dulge in great ropes of them, to whioh
thoy are continually adding.
Women who wear on a wide satin
ribbon their badge?, pins, buttons and
insignias of the various eocieties and
associations to which they belong, are
criticised as seekers after notoriety.
The badges, pins, buttons and in
signias were not made, however, to
put away in bureau drawers.

It is not such drudgery as the words
imply to "polish, polish, polish," like
Turvoydrop of old, if the ever famous
elbow grease bo supplemented by
efficient help.
We all know that the wood of a
piano cose always seems to bave a
brighter polish than the other furni
ture, and, with this fact in miud, a
famous housekeeper, possessed with
Turveydrop's mania, made bold to ask
a dealer in musical instruments the
secret of the mirror-like glossiness of
bis wares. His reply was too practical
and too useful to be kept for tbe use
of one household, and is given for our
readers' benefit, with the assurance
tli at it may be usod on the most rare
and costly wood, not only without
fear of injury, but as a preservative.
It is mado as follows: To four table
spoonfuls ot sweet oil add four of
turpentine, .a teaspoonfal ot lemon
juico and ton drops of household
ammonia. Shake well and it is ready.
Care must be taken also to shake each
time just before using.
The proper application of this polish
is important to insure magical results,
and two or three clotos are absolutely
necessary. I Cheese cloth is excellent,
and also old soft silk handkerohiefs
and bits of fine flannel. Apply with
No. 1 nntil the wood 'seems to bave
absorbed some of tbe mixture ; then
rub briskly with No. 2, and finish off
with No. 3.
A few drops of violent scent added
to tbe polish will do away with the
odor ol turpentimo, which is disliked
by some people. Chicago Record.

Heatahle Shoes.
A Dresden (Germany,) genius ha
invented, what he calls "licatablo
Hlioet." Within the heel ot tho shoe,
which is hollowed out, there is a re

lar to that used in the Japanese hand

ded in asbestos covers, there is a rub
ber bag, which is fillod with water.
The water is heated above the heel,
and as it circulates while tbe the wear

"To prevent contusion I took him to the

That minister said further to me: "Ono

FACTS STRAKOXB THAN FICTION.
With a ruuieoller on each side of him, I once
had a grocer who owed me for goods, and
thn bill was overdue three months. He
wanted more goods. I called tor a settle
ment or reasons for not settling. Ho reuliodt
"Stop right here till 13 o'clock and I'll show
you. From the factory gate, directly In
mint of that grocer's, the operatives came
from the factory at 12 o'clock. The line
parted each had a tin pall and part went
to one rum shop and a part to the other.
Then they came out with pots of beer and
united aguln at the grocer's counter, bought
their bread, had It charged and went home.
The riimscllers got cash for their beer. Bo
times were bard with the grocer, collection
slow and margins small, aud tbe rutnseller
bad a patent on his rum business, and, as
this was in Massachusetts, the law guaran
teed to him a possible 1000 customers. My
grocer looked lorward to better times also;
and he moved from that plaoe to oue where
there were no eoloons netir, and ultimately
settled with me. Facts drawn from real life

A teetotaler onee called upon some Govern
ment ofllclals witb the expectation of making
large contracts tor goods. They Immediately
Invited him to drink. He deollned. They
Insisted that he must drink. Then he re
fused. Thereupon one of tbe halt-drunken
fools tried to force him, declaring that ha
would bnv no goods ot him If he did not
drink. Tbon said tbo other, "You buy no
Roods of me," and walked away. The next
morning, tbe fiery madness having been
slept off, the ofllcers made most uuexpeotedly
largo oontnicts because they bad found, to
their surprise, a man truo as steel a moo
that could be trusted.
WOHAIt'S OBUSAL'I IN ST. LOUIS.
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union
of f t. Louis has entered upon a crusade
against the wine rooms willed are conuectod
with ninny of tbe saloons iu the down town
district ot the city. These vile resorts, wbloh
are conducted, It would sneni, In utter dis
regard of the law prohibiting the sale ot
liquor to minors, which are ceduotive traps
tor the unwary, and tho starting points for
I hose who are taking tbclr lirst stops In the
d iwbward oouive, are ruining scores of boys
and girls.
WHAT THE LIO.UOU TBAFFIO DOES.
The lliUor traftlo takes directly aud iudl
reelly la.OOO.OOO.OOO from legitimate indus

Into the people's pockets almost lu four and
reduces the number of those employed by
such capital bv about soventv-etgbt nor cent.
Iu addition to nil this, It crowds tho labor
market by forcing woman and child labor
upon It and demoralizes It by tne ruinous
competition which drinking niou everywhere
bring to sober labor.
fltlEAT CAUSE OF SOCIAL EVIL,
Hore is Archbishop Ireland's arraignment
of the drink evil: "Tho great cause of eoohtl
crime Is drink. The groat cause of poverty
is drink. Wlinn I bear of a family broken
up aud ask tho caUbe drink, if I go to tbe
gallows and ask Its victim the cause, the
answer drink. Thon I ask myself lu won

0) How Old
Tou need not answer tbo question, madam,
for in your cans ago is not counted by years. It
will always be true that "a woman is as old
ns she looks." Nothing sets the seal of ago
no deeply upon woman's beauty as gray bair.
It ia natural, thereforo, that every woman is
anxious to preserve hor hair in all its original
abundanco and beauty; or, that being denied
tho crowning gift of beautiful bair, ebe longs
to possess it. Nothing is earner than to attain
to this gift or to preserve it, if already
possessed. Ayor's Hair Vigor restores gray
or faded hair to its original color. It does this
by simply aiding nature, by supplying tho
nutrition necessnry to health and gTowth.
There ia no better procuration for tb hair
than

A New Fabric.
A fabrlo of beautiful appearance is
to bo put upon the market an im-
prpvemont upon tbe waterproof coated
materials rendered thus impervious by
treatment witb tbe well-known India
rubber and other solutions. Tho im
provement in this case consists in giv
ing to tbe coated surface of such goods
a drcssino formed bv a film ot rjowder
'made by reducing glass to an impalpa.
oie uusi ana unoiy eievoa so as to re
move all crystallized appoaranoe. this
'coating giving to tho furfaoe treated a
lino, Eoft, silky aud luminous effoot.
Thus coated, the material may be or
namented eitbor before or after vul
canization, by printing or other
method, in tbe suitable medium and
in the colorings preferred, the desired
pattern or design. For this purpose
colors having au India rubber or other
suitable waterproof medium aro se
lected; and, in order to counteract the
adhesive property, the material is
treated after ornamentation to a sec
ond coating of pulverized glass; this
also producees aluminous appearanoo,
while notTbciog soluble in wator it
possesses the advantage of being more
substantial and lasting in its effcotu
than the ordinary powders employed.

Ancient Work In Iron.
The use of iron in architecture is
not so new as people are aooustomc d
to think. At Delhi, India, is a forged
iron column sixty feet high. It is six
teen inches in diameter at tbo base,
and twelve inches at the top. Its
weight is estimated at about seventeen
tons. From records extant it is rea
sonably certain that it was already in
existence 900 years B. 0.
