Six of the Latest Costume*. There's a flavor of old-timenessjin is VIOtaB T CLOTH. BTOW JACKBT IN" YBIiVBT. WITH MA^RTITC'IIISOS^ most of the latest fashions. Wituess the poke-bouuets with their volumi nous strings tied under the chin and the skin-tight skirts that flare and trail at the hem so reminiscently of lifty years ogo. In the cut of the fig ure in violet cloth, shown in the large engraviug, wo have a costume which might have stepped right out of some ancestral picture-frame, the absence of the pouch bodice front, the entire lack of sleevefuluess upon the shoulder and the tendency to skirt-drapery are to be noticed tirst. of all. The frock's material is a smooth-faced cloth in parma violet. A directoire hat iu gray felt and trimmed with white gauze draperies mingled with violet velvet completes the costume. The Princesse cut of frock ia much 1 affected. If not the Princesse proper, it is the Princesse effect, or at least j a part Priucesse model. The gown ot ! biege cloth trimmed with guipure, shown in the large cut, for instance, has the regulation twisting skirt, but with a Princesao tunic, the latter be ing so cleverly cut as to form a pointed zouave in front with a crossover apron, j Biege-colored satin-faced cloth is the ' material employed. The trimming ; consists of fancy steel buttons and it coarse guipure iu black. The latter j adorns the pointed revers and turned down-collar of biege colored moire 1 silk. Embroidery is employed with rich effect upon velvet this year. In tlie figure in embroidered velvet ap pears a Princesse frock of dead-black velvet, embroidered iu black silk. In the back the tight-fitting corsage ends in a graceful double bos-plait orua mented with black silk buttons and flaring out effectively at the hem of the skirt. The corsage fastens under the left arm. With this frock is worn a toque in white cloth, having a brim of black fox and draped with a scarf of' white gauze with long, fringed ; ends. Zibeline continues to hold its own l as a dress material. In the first sketch in the large cut we have a cos ' luuie in pastel green zibeline, trimmed with narrowest borders of black as j trakau and velvet of precisely the same shade as the cloth. The'long, pointed tunic; of clothe has an edging of the astrakan as has the underskirt of the velvet, stitched vertically. Many stitohiugs adorn the frock shown iu the last cut of the large group, and as they followa spreading, scalloped design they have almost the effect of row upon row of narrow braiding. The underskirt has a deep baud of plain stitching as a hem fin ish; the tunic is bordered with scal loped stitching, while upon the jacket every edge and a goodly portion of the loose, double- breasted frout the stitching appears. In contrast to the straight-backed coat is the chic little velvet Eton jacket pictured in the large cut. It is tight-fitting and double-breasted, and it boasts the highest of high collars. Broad, pointed revers of fox give character to the jacket front, the col lar being fur-lined also. Both sleeves and body of the jacket are heavily stitched iu a spreading scroll pattern in white silk cord. Accompanying this jacket is a toque in black velvet, stitched in white to correspond with the Eton's trimming, and having a large white plume at oue side. Cliilri'a Frock of Turtan Silk. This is one of the old new-fashioned tartan silks, once more in vogue for use for party frocks. The little dross is made with almost severe simplicity, m A PARTY DRESS. for its only trimming is a folded bolt of velvet and some narrow yellow lac« edging the frills on neck and sleeves. ANDY SHANKS' LIBERALITY "Wnnted to CoinpenfiA'e the Widow for the Hn»bun<l He Sliol. An o'd pioneer gold-hunter was Bpeaking of his early-day California acquaintances. "Now tha • wuz old Andy Shanks," he said. "Knowed old Andy better than I knowed my grandmother, an' I reckon thar never wuz a fairer, squarer, an' a more honorable man than he war. An' conscientious! Why, Andy wuz so skeered of intrudin' on other people that he'd ruther give away a foot of his own rights than to chance sloppin* over a inch on some body else's. Wouldn't wrong nobody out o' nothin' for 'uothiu' on earth if he knowed it.i " 'Member one time somebody stole a gold nugget from Andy. Don't recollect just how it wuz, but in some way it 'peared powerful plain that old Sam Woods war the thief. Andy was so plumb shore of it that he jest took his gun an' went out an' shot old Sam down. That thar wuz all right an' proper enough, and didn't nobody thiuk nothin' of it. " 'Bout a week later, though, it come out that old Sam wa'u't the thiefj au' that it war one o' them dog goned onery Digger Injuns what stole the nugget. When Andy found out 'bout this ho war plumb sorry that he'd killed old Sam, an' took it to heart dreadful. " 'Boys,' he says to us, 'I never wuz so cut up 'bout nothing in all my life as I am 'bout shootiu' of Sam. Why, I'd actually 'a' ruther lost twite that much gold than to 'a' killed Sam an' him innocent. I would, shore.' "We tried to chirk Andy up, tellin* him it war all jest a mistake, but he didn't seem to feel satisfied 'bout it. He mout 'a' took a more cheerful view of the matter if it hadn't been tha, Sam had a wife in tlie camp. Andy seemed to kind of pity her, an' he wuz so doggoued conscientious that he felt like he owed her somethin' for deprivin' her of a husband. Sam war no good, au' we didn't feel that his wife had lost no great shakes in losiu' him, an' we told Andy so, but he wouldn't look at it in that way. He 'lowed even it' Sam wa'n't no 'count, his wife valued him up a light smart, an' he war bound to value him at her figgers. "Waal, Andy studied the matter over for a while, then one day he went down to see the wider 'bout it. " 'Mrs. Woods,'he said,'l'm plumb downright sorry 'bout the way 1 done Sam, but of co'seyou understand that it war all a naterai mistake that any body was liable to make,an' thar ain't no use, so fer as I kiu see, in grievin' over spilled milk. Sam's gone, au' thar ain't no bringin' him back, so thar ain't no use fooliu' 'bout him no more. I wuut to repair the wrong I done you as fer as 1 kin,an' I'm goiu' to act white with you. I'm williu' to do the fair thing by you under tho cir cums.anees.' " 'What are you williu' to do?' the wider asked. " 'Thai - ain't but one thing I kin do, I reckon,' Andy replied. 'Von lost your husband through my keer les-iuess, an' it's my duty to make that | loss good. I'll jest marry you my- Bell'.' 'Vouldu't nobody offer fairer than that, for Andy war worth a dozen of , Saui. Hut, strange to say, that thar I wider wouldu't nigh have it that way. j Seems like women can't sometimes ap | pre date the liberality of men,nohow." ; —Thomas P. Montfort, in Harper's bazar. SpHiiiftli Itloori in Ireland. When the Spanish Armada was wrecked off ihe coasts of Clare and (ialway couuties, many survivors of the disaster who reached the shores were kindly care.l for by the Irish | people and considerable numbers of , these unfortunates remained in the families of their kiiul-heaited res-u --ers. Spanish Point on the coast of Clare 1 reminds of the disaster to the great ; Spanish fleet. Ju the counties of I Clare and (ialway there is to be fouud 1 at the present day, a people differing 1 essentially troin auy of tho distinc i tive races existing on Irish soil. This i people ai\! the descendants of the I Spanish officers, sailors and soldiers i who had been cast ashore during the ! fearful storm which destroyed tho ' Spanish fleet. The race marks of this people are well defined. Crossed as it has been | with the Milesian stock, its Spanish j features offer a most interesting study j for they remain prominent. The rneu j are tall, muscular, da It-featured, with , black eyes, and bhvk hair. The ; women have decided Spanish traits in j their physique; they are usually tall; ! brunettes in some cases and fair in others; with large, expressive black eyes and an abundance of black hair. Their b?auty reminds of the women of the Bas pie provinces while amoug them are to be found the perfection of the female form in all Irelaud.— American Quarterly Review. Unexpectedly Honored. They were from Lexington, Mo., and they had come to Kansas City not only to enjoy the fall festival, but also to celebrate the first anniversary of their marriage. Entering one of the large department stores, the first thing to attract their attention was a large sign leading, "Anniversary Sales Day." Looking np at Mr. One- Year-we.l she said, with a freshness and spirit he had not noticed since that memorable event, of a year ngo: "How do you suppose they ever j knew it was our anniversary?" And he didn't even dare smile.— Kansaß City Times. l*ride for Two. "Yes," she said, "I am proud to say that I am a bachelor girl." "And I," he replied, "take equal I pride in the fact that I am an old- I maid man." SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. A new method for overcoming sleep lessuess has beeu suggested by Pro feasor J. H. Baldwin. It consists in try.ng to picture another person as asleep. The more clearly the other person's sUep is pictured, the stronger becomes the subjective feeling of drow siness. Professor Nussbaum of Hanovei clnims that the plastering of walls seriously feffects the acoustic properties of a room. The admixture of sand with plaster spoils the reverberation of tones. The best results are obtained by using pure gypsum that has been heated to white heat. The sponge which grows either on vocks or directly upon sandy bottom is encased in a jet black membrane. When the sponge grows in caves or under rocks away from the bun the membrane is pale in color, but it always is full of a thick milky fluid. As the sponge is torn by hand or cut from its roots the diver gives the mem brane a squeeze milk beiug scattered ovt» me bottom. The milk is vile smelling and pro duces an eruption wherever it touches the human flesh, but the operatioii of scattering the milk is considered very necessary and also a diver's duty, since the fishers believe that it holds the seed of the sponge. A new textile plant is being experi mented with in Bussia, says United States Consul Atwell of Boubaix. This is the "Apocynum veuetum," a bush about six feet high yieldiug a silken fibre. It grows in Europe, Siberia, Asia Minor, North of India, Manchuria and Japan, and it has long beeu used by the Turcomans in the manufacture of cords and woven goods. It has net er been cultivated, and grows best in land under water for part of the year. The fibre has great strength and its cultivation would require no care. In 18!)5, the Russian govern ment began to use it for bank-note paper, and tlio results were so excel lent that the plant has siu-e beeu cul tivuted at Poltava. In England, as is well known, the resources of the mining engineer are often taxed to their utmost in the en deavor to work coal and iron mines on a paying basis. The latest instauce of th B is afforded at the Hodbarrow mines in Cumberland, where it is pro posed to build a large sea embank | meut, to keep these.i out of the workings of the mines. Ten years ago a wall was built, costing more than $600,000, but the proposed work will go much further out in the water, and will ba 9750 yards (3.8 miles) in | length, enclosing a largo tract of land, under which the irou mines will be worked. The ore here is a rich one, and 1 1 worth the enormous outlay of money required, as it has been ! proved to exist in vast quantities. ! The estimated cost of the new work is I $2,000,000. Perhaps nothing so well illustrates the accuracy of modern astronomy as i the recent investigations into the vari ation cf latitude. Professor Charles ! B. Doolittle, director of the Flowei i observatory of the University of Penn sylvania, announces that the result of a long series of individual determina tions shows that the latitude of Pliila j delphia varies about forty feet an nually. That such a small change can be recognized is certainly one of the triumphs of s-ience. The first sus picion that there was a systematic va riation in latitude was aroused by cer tain observations made at Berlin in 1884-85. This result was subsequently confirmed by invest g itions set on foot in various parts of Europe, as well as Honolulu and Cordova. Dr. 8. C. Chandler has shown that the matter can be explained by supp< sing the earth's axis to revolve in an exceed ingly small elipse about its mean po sition, the period of revolution being about 427 days. The greatest possi ble change in the position of the pole is not more than twenty yards, so that it will 1 e seen that, no very startling results are likely to follow the discov ery. It is just possible, however, that the matter may be developed into something or importance in the case of boundary lines which are fixed by latitude determinations. Tha most striking fact is the emphasis on the point that nothing known to astron omy is fived or immovable, not eveu the position of the earth's axis from year to year. Coin MOOO Yours Old. One of the prized curios of the Philadelphia mint is a coin which is '2OOO years old, and whn-li was coined at the ancient mint of that other Philadelphia of the far East, mentioned in the Bible. It is still in good condition and the in scription is perfectly legible. The design on the face of the coin bears a striking resemblance to the Goddess of Lil erty of our own currency, and uuderueath is the ono word, "Demos," which means "the people." On the other side is the figure of Diana, with her bow arched, and the inscription, "Diana, Frieud of the Philadel pbiaus." When the coin was struck off Philadelphia was the most impor tant city of Lydia. The prize was picked up in Europe by Joseph Mick ley, a ce'ebrated Philadelphia violin maker and numismatist of high re pute, who presented it to the mint.— Philadelphia Record. Not Throwing Away Money. "It will cost yon sl," said the jew eler, inspecting the works of the time piece through his eyeglass, "to put this watch in thorough repair." "Hand it back," haughtily replied the young man on the outside of the counter, "I can get a new one for 98 cent*. Some grocers are so short sighted as to 'ecline to keep the Ivory Soap, claiming it does not pa_ as much profit as inferior qualities do, so if your regular grocer refuses to get it for you, there are undoubtedly others who recognize the fact that the increased volume of business done by reason of keeping the best articles more than compensates for the smaller profit, and will take pleasure in getting it for you.

Matters are advancing in connec tion with the oversea colony of the Salvation Army in West Australia. A block of twenty-two thousand acres of land has been obtained, our Sydney correspondent writes, on what may be called the "hire purchase sys tem." Sixpence an acre is to be paid for a period of twenty years, and on the expiration of that term the laud will become the absolute property of the Army. The situation is a beautiful one, and half of the area is fit for agricul tural purposes—which is a large pro portion for barren Australia. The site has a river frontage of twenty four miles. Merely as an investment, therefore, General Booth's bargain seems to have been a good one.—Lon don Mail. Funeral Ktiquette In Switzerland. . In Switzerland a death is attended by a custom which calls upon all char itable and Christian people to show their sympathy. A notice edged with a wide black line appears in the daily papers setting forth the day and hour when sympathizers must assemble be fore the housejof the deceased. At the time named a little cloth-covered table supporting a good-sized jar is stood before the house—table, cloth, and jar all being of a sombre, ebony hue—aud into the latter small mourn ing cards, bearing the name and ad dress of their owners are deposited. The day the funeral takes place is the day selected for tho exhibition of the jar. No women are allowed to follow at a Swiss funeral.—Pittsburg Bul letin. ' Si v k headache.
