When Hiram Maxim, the inventoi of the famous deadly gun, was in Worcester the other week, he told story of an experience in England with an alleged bullet-proof cuirass, the secret of which was offered to the British Government for about $200, 000 in American money. During the test of the "garment" Mr. Maxim asked permission to try an experiment himself, and, placing a piece of paper in front of the cuirass, fired through it. The projectiles "splashed" out against the paper, proving to the in ventor that the bullet-proof quality was given by a strip of steel. He then published a paper denouncing the cuirass, and incidentally stating that he had discovered the secret and improved npon it, aud he would sell the secret for $1.75. Asked what he meant, he explained that his cuirass weighed but ten ponnds, the other twelve; his contained a strip of steel thinner thnn that of the regular in vention. Worcester (Mass.) Gazette.

Embroideries will reign again this winter more royally thau ever, with embroidered flowers doue iu white linen threads, iu colored silks, or in black lnce and black cords, making most exquisite garments. White crepe embroidered in large colored flowers about tho hem, more delicate ly on the bodice, made a sensation at several wateriug plaoes duriug its owner's travels, and another frock of white net was enriched with a raised embroidery of delicate natural colors, which was evidently appliqned. Col ored silk embroideries will be applied in this way to cashmere frocks, and to silk muslin ones for this winter's wear, leaving the materials actually embroidered upon themselves, such as crepes and silks and velvets, for most elaborate evening toilets. Is It Coming- to Tills? It has not been the fashion for girls to wear ear-rings for a great many years past, and most of them have never had their ears pierced. The grandmothers and aunts, mothers and older sisters have even forced prom ises from them not to have holes made in their ears for the sake of vanity, pleading and arguing that they might as well wear riugs in their noses as well as their ears. But Dame Fash ion holds a very powerful sway over yonng women of all ages, al she Bays: "Girls, yon must have your ears pierced, and you must wear long, drooping ear-rings as your grand mothers did, who now cry me down and say nay." So the girls pre obey ing, and it does look funny to see them with their ears tied np with bits of string, like little girls of long ago. The latest fad in ear-rings is a succes sion of precious stones, five or six generally, hung from tiny loops of gold, and graduated from a very small stone which fits close against the ear to larger ones. Harper's Bazar. Tea Gowns. Evidently tea gowns are to be the correct house gown this coming winter. and are most graceful in design, and made of the most expensive materials. There does not seem to bs any una! terable law as to the fabrics used for tea gowns, but any thing that is becom ing, will hang well, and make up ef fectively, lis considered fashionable, One exceedingly smart gown is made of crinkled crepe white, tight-fitting, and with folds crossed over the bust and fastened at the left side, so that the fronts leave a V-shaped open ing at the throat. The fronts are trimmed with pleatings of pink Rutin ribbon, and the entire gown is lined with pink silk; at the back, starting from the shoulders, are two long Wat teau pleats of the crepe that are put into the seams at the sides. Another gown of flowered silk, made from an old ball gown, is cut open in front, showings petticoat of tucked white lawn and entre-deux of Valenciennes lace. The tight-fitting sleeves are of the lace, with high collar faced with the lace. A girdle of silk, with tasseled ends, fastened at either side, is tied in front, and the ends fall to the foot of tho skirt. Harper's Bazar. The Diet of Business Women. An eminent physician in one of onr large cities has been making inqniries as to the diet of business women, and comparing it with that of men in sim ilar positions. He makes some valu able suggestions as to the result of his investigations, and gives utterance to some criticisms on the habits and man agement of the women themselves. "The fact is," he says, "three-quarters of the women who board them selves are abont half starving them selves. Not that they deliberately and with malice aforethought neglect meal time or refuse to eat a fair amount of food, but they will not take the trouble to cook dishes suitable for them. I found at least a dozen women out of the thirty employed in one large house who frankly admitted that they never cooked a hearty meal for their own eating. They claimed that they felt quite well on a diet of bread and but ter and coffee or tea, with an occa sional piece of cake or a pie. Fruit in the season is quite frequently used, but at other times it is too costly for women of moderate means or those who earn but small salaries." It seems an impossible problem to handle, but in some way there must be an arrangement by which women can club together and, by uniting forces, live admirably and under much more healthful conditions than those which at present exist. New York Ledger. Kmart Umbrella. The woman who gives a birthday gift will want to give an umbrella. The woman who receives the gift will want to receive an umbrella the season's showing is so thoroughly delightful. If you are choosing one and want a fashionable umbrella at reasonable price look among the tinted wood sticks. With the exception of the enchant ing handle) which jewelers have put forth these tinted wood affairs are the smartest of the season. There is sim ply no describing them. You must look at them for yourself. Be snre, by the way, to select one in which the silk matches the predom inant tone in the wood or combines effectively with it. The Dresden knob and other china knobs are out this year. Silver knobs, bars, etc., are still used, but rather less than last season. Serpents, lizards and animal heads appear less fre quently also. Rough wood handles studded at ran dom with little globules of silver half the size of a pea make another line of odd sticks. Amethyst cabochons set in silver knobs are very new and clever. Tur quoise cabochons embedded in a small gold ball are wonderfully lovely, but out of the reach of most purchasers. Then, there are bone and ivory, cut tinged and tinted iu various ways, which make delightful handles. Onyx combines delightfully with gold and silver in a number of the very newest, and other transparent min erals are equally charmiug mounted in the same way. Philadelphia Press.

Dry Goods Economist. A Discovery In a Menagerie. An amusing inoident was witnessed in a certain menagerie the other day. Here and there between the cages a number of the well-known trick mirrors were placed. An Irishman, after a critical survey of the monkeys, had wandered away from his bettet half, and suddenly found himself in front of one of these mirrors. Aftei one glance at his distorted reflection he rushed back to his wife, who was still watching the antics of the mon keys. "Come away, wid yer, Bridget," he exclaimed. "Oi've found a bigger trate than that the ugliest baste in the show. He's in a little cage in the corner." Bridget offered no objections. Two or three of the bystanders who had heard Patsy's remark were equally anxious to obtain a peep at the "ugliest baste," and there was quite a proces sion to the "little cage in the corner." Patsy, as the original discoverer, se cured first place and dragged his wife in front of the mirror. To his aston ishment there was more in the "cage" than he expected. "Begorra, Bridget!" he suddenly exclaimed, "there's a pair av 'em!" Patsy had a lively time of it when some one explained the situation to Bridget. Weekly Telegraph. The Wrong Place.

We are surprised to note that soma of .he foreign Insurance journals have been copying the absurd conclusions of one J. riiomann,ln a pamphlet recently published iu New York, to show by statistical figures that "beer Is the healthiest drink known." That writer declares, as the result of his investigations, that the "risks Incurred In Insuring the lives of habitual beer drink ers are les by forty per cent, than the or dinary risks of such transactions." Tho innnn simply proves what he did not start out to prove, that the robust men em-, ployed in the breweries, who drink from forty to fifty glasses of beer d illy, remain In robust health tor some years by virtue of their large amount of vital force and tenacity; not by virtue of beer, but in spite of it. We have closoly watched the heavy beer drinkers in this commuulty with reference to their mortulity ratio for more than twenty years, and our observations show that out of every hundred who saturate themselves in this immoderate way not more thau five pass the age of fifty-three. Those that escape Brlght's disease or uru-mlo poisoning become victims of cir rhosis or fatty degeueratton or erysipelas or apoplexy. One or other of these fatal diseases invariably gives the finishing touch to the "splendid physique" about which Thomnnn rants long, before the pe riod of natural expectation. If beer drinkers choose to swill their favorite beverage, that is one thing: but if they are led by Thomson's lying statistics into the belief that beer will prolong their lives, or that life companies can be fooled into the acceptance of walking beer barrels as healthy risks, that is quite another. Balti more Underwriter. A Temperance Victory. Lady Elizabeth Dlddulph, who was In Cairo when the British forces left for the campaign up tho Nile, stated, at the annual meeting of the London Society for th Study of Inebriety, that the glorious vic tory won by the troops was won by temper ance men. Wlieu the soldiers were leaving Cairo for camp a whisper went round among the wives and other friends of the military men to the effect that Sir Herbert Kitchener had sent back all the beer that had been ordered to the front with the sol diers, and on making inquiries Lady Eliza beth ascertained t hut. as fur as possible. all intoxicants were to be excluded during the campaign. Iu a conversation she had with Lord Cromer on the subject, his lord- jliIpsHid that If beer was allowed In the :amphe was afraid there might not be as much work done as without Its presence, and when Lady Elizabeth asked: "But what about the Nile water?" the reply was: "We Dave rasteur inters in the camp, ana plenty of good tea and coffee, which you will find onr troops able to fight on." When a Greek merchant was detected unuggling spirits into the camp, theHirdar at once called the men together, and iu their presence poured the liquor on the sands. "And," snld Lady Elizabeth, "a great temperance as well as a great aud brilliant military victory was the result ol the fight at Atbara." St. Johns sun.

Judge Gordon, of Philadelphia, taught a law-defying jury of that city a severe les son the other day for rendering a verdict of "not guilty" In the case of a man charged with selling liquor unlawfully In the face of evidence which the judge said 'proved most conclusively the man's guilt." Their verdict, be added, was an "undermining of the law and encourage ment to lawlessness and disorder," and to prevent that corrupt jury from doing any more harm be dismissed them from an) further attendance at this term of court. A few more judges like Judge Gordon would go a great way in purging the Jury box of the corrupt allies of rum. Echoes of the Crusade. Biz out of every 100 of the population of England are made paupers by drink. Even for the sake of temporal prosperity alone, no young man can afford to be a frequenter of the saloons. The cause of temperance has been to many famous Americans the Inspiration that started them upon a public career. The first speech that Abraham Lincoln ever made In public was a defence of total abstinence before a Washington society. The most- lucrative employments are those of the greatest responsibility, and these are given generally to sober men, In many cases to total abstainers exclusively. The amount of grain wasted In making liquor would provide each family In the United Kingdom with 750 pounds of flour. A drunkard Is lost In the esteem of every decent man, and if he Is dependent on others for employment, he Is lost out of Jight. Last year's British drink bill footed up 1740,000,000.- This would make a row of sovereigns 1750 miles long. It is equal to the whole amount spent in bread, butter and cheese. A young man, more or less addicted to drink, Is at best a very doubtful charaeter, and no business man will trust blm. A sober man is always preferred, and many an employer, having gathered wisdom from sad experience, will employ total abstainers only. A Kindergarten Conundrum.

Oalbreath, of the Ohio State Library, gives the following explana tion of the origin of the Cuban flag: "The Cuban flag dates baok to abont 1850 or 1851, It has a Masonio ori gin, and hence the triangle. The red field is the emblem of war. The pur pose of the movement here in the United States was to conquer the isl and, Southern people, lighting Ma sons, were the leaders. The three blue stripes represented the three de partments iuto which the island was then divided. The white stripes were U pnt, I believe, merely to divide the bine. The intention of the Southern people who were interested in the scheme was to make three States out of the island. "The star which appears in the red field has a more remote origin. It was the lone star of Texas. In New Or leans, at about 1850, there existed the Association of the Lone Star. They assisted Narciso Lopez with money and in other ways when he invadod Cnba in 1851, and he adopted the flag of the association, I suppose, out of gratitude. "When Carlos Manuel de Cespedes began the revolutionary movement of 1868, he had another flag, but the peo ple of Puerto Principe and Santa Clara raised the present flag, whioh was finally adopted as the Cuban national flag when the first constituent assem bly came together in 1869."
