Just Discovered His Strength. Joseph Murri is a young Ilalian who has been carrying a spear as a super in one of the New York theaters. The other day some one spoke of Sandow and Sampson, who are now the attrac- tions at rival shows in this city. Murri didn’t think their feats anything re- markable, and in response to some chaffing lifted eight men, weighing altogether 1543 pounds, a foot from the floor. He also lifted a horse, and broke a heavy leather band by expand. ing his chest. Murri isn’t carrying a spear any more. He is preparing ta star as a heavy lifter.—Chicago Her: ald. re tein The First Silver Coins, According to an old tradition, silver was first used as a coin in Great Britian 1900 years ago.

White satin gowns in preparation for autumn weddings are made in 1830 fashion. They are of the richest plain ivory satin throughout, trimmed with a single deep flounce of chiffon or of lace, and are worn with a lace veil draped entirely at the back under a small tiara or a wreath of orange buds. When brocade is preferred, the new serpentine designs are chosen with the surpentine effect in armure weaving on a satin ground. Moire attique and the moire francais, either plain or figured, will be much used for wed- ding dresses, as they lend themselves to the stately styles of the period now in vogue. A new moire with bayadere threads of metal, either gold or silver, is especially elegant. For those who prefer softer fabrics is the beautiful peau de soie in pearl or milk white, the design a pois, in dots of two sizes, or else the soft finished surface left plain as a foundation for rare old laces, or the simple mousseline de soie in sel- vage flounces or finished with slight embroidery. One of the prettiest 1830 models has the round bodice trimmed with a satin bertha cut in curves low on the shoulders without fulness, and edged with a vine of orange buds and leaves. Half-long sleeves are draped low from the armholes. The skirt, closely gored in front, with the train not too long but curved in organ-pipe pleats as it spreads out on the floor, has a deep flounce of accordion-pleated mousseline de soie, headed by a ruche dotted with clusters of orange blossoms. The bride’s mother also adopts the 1830 style for the gown worn at her daughter’s wedding, but adds a circu- lar basque of plain satin if the dress is brocade, or of velvet if the waist is of satin. The new purplish-redshades, more purple than red, and the golden brown mordore tints, are chosen for these middle-aged ladies, either in plain satin, in the new moires with both large and small balls, and in the ondule brocades with glace ground and waving stripes of armure weaving.— Harper's Bazaar. THREATENED RETURN OF RINGLETS. It is announced that ringlets are to be worn again by ladies and that side whiskers are coming in for fashionable men. The general attitude in face of such a piece of news is that of unbe- lief, with an uncomfortable underly- ing fear that there may possibly be some truth in it. Ringlets belong strictly to the sentimental period of the world’s history, and the practical women of to-day would hardly know what to do with them. They were founded on the theory that the hair of all pretty girls curled naturally, and that after the morning bath they had only to shake their bright tresses in order to produce a whole crop of ringlets, all arranged in the most picturesque and pleasing or- der. This was the theory. In prac- tice there were curl papers, curling tongs, curling fluids, and many Kin- dred devices, all of which togethes were far from sufficing to keep the ringlets in curl. It was the daily dread of the fashionable woman that the crisp corkscrew of her curls should fail her and turn into a limp, abject forlornness, in which the ends drooped down in raggedness and the spirals above became attenuated and unduly long. This indisposed the owner to ex- ertion. Should she go out, a shower might come on, and the damp would at once affect her head of hair. What would become of she tennis girl, un- known when ringiets were ‘‘in,” should they again become the coiffure of the day? She would have to choose be- tween tennis and fashion, for the two would Lie wholly antagonistic. In the beginning of our Queen’s ‘reign, ladies wore longringlets at each side of the face, and what was known as “‘back hair.” Their chief occupa- tions were Berlin wool work and flirta- tion, the ringlets playing a prominent art in the latter pursuit, to judge by he novels of the time. When they )lushed they shook their faces to hide the carmine hue. These curls hung outside their bon- .tets on the streets, and then they had § double shield for their blushes, for they could ¢‘drop their veils” in some instantaneous fashion which is as mys- terious as it is enviable to the women of our own day. = Florence Dombey and Kate Nickleby were constantly dropping their veils while they either blushed or shed tears. . A facility for weeping, in fact, seems to have accompanied the era of ring- ‘ets, and it is affrighting to conjecture that it might possibly return with the revival of the fashion. Thereis really no saying what even a modern girl might do if you put her into ringlets. She might experience a perfectly dif- ferent set of emotions from those to which she is saccustomed.—Liondon News. INSECTS AS JEWELS. In Brazil, and in’ fact through the writer in the Jewelers’ Circular, a | found from which various jewels are made. A few are imported to Europe, but up to the present time they have not had all the success they merit. The coleoptera which are designated by the name of Buprestis are especial- ly used. The shape of their bodies may not be be very elegant, but their color surpasses all that can be imag- ined; their common name of ‘‘rich men’’ comes from their shining ap- pearance. Some are wholly of a bril- liant metallic green, others are more dull, with longitudinal gilded stripes, others have on their winged sheaths fawn colored spots, irregular patterns, purplish, azure, golden reflections, how can I describe them? Their consistency permits them to mounted in the form of brooches, bracelets, earrings, ete. The species most used belong to the genus Cur- culio; it is very common in its own country, where in its abundance it even sometimes weighs down the branches of the mimosas. They are frequently sent to Paris. Earrings are made entirely from Curculio; the claws and belly are of gold. On the surface of the Liystras are seen longi- tudinal rows of very sharp points or dots. Tach point is filled with little green scales, which shine like eme- ralds. One earring that I have seen was made of an insect dressed all in green, a clear green, set off in several places on the surface by blackish dots surrounded by a golden crown. It was rather large, and would look bet- ter in a brooch than in an ear pen- ant. Some pins manufactured from these insects are very serviceable. I own one mounted in gold. the claws and under side of the same material, and two hooks for the head and tail. The insect is solidly fastened. If is a pretty kind of blue and green metallic color, with perfectly regular black tracing which contrasts finely with the clear tint of tho whole. There is one Brazilian colecptera often used be- cause of its very great hardness, which allows it to be cut as though it were metal ; it is of an odd shape, flattened metallic, and covered with dotssunken in; it is not especially pretty. The foreign coleoptera which can be used for ornament are very numerous. The oddest shapes that can be imag- ined are met with, and the most beau- tiful tints that can be desired. For instance, one of bamboo color with greenish reflections, a surprisingly singular mingling of colors; another, mother-of-pearl with most beautiful golden bands; still another, sky blue of a wonderful softness with pretty black bands. One of the most curious is of a golden red, of a red fire which reminds us of a fire brand. They are sometimes of an ultra-marine blue, or yellow with brownish tracery. One has green winged sheaths and blue corselet ; this last one is shining, red, metallic, greenish; it is so brilliant that it makes the finest rubies seem pale. FASHION NOTES. Green in all shades and tone color- ings are the popular color for the fall. In head ornaments the size of the article is small, merely adorning the front of the head. The velvet bayaderes that were all the rage ten years ago have come in vogue and are much worn this fall. A neatly-executed scroll, with a crescent or a star-shaped piece sur- mounting it, is a favorite design for the hair. 2 Black and white, and black trimmed with white or ecru lace will be the ma- terials used for many fashionable costumes this season. Fine Brazilian mohair, woven to produce the effect of rich, heavy silk, is much employed in the manufacture of black goods this year. Material for a very stylish costume can be selected from the line of Pico Rache’s for this season, made in all the new colorings, slashed with small diagonal stripes. Dressy black satin capes for the autumn are shown ornamented with neck and shouldez trimmings of black or ecre guipure lace and colored vel- vet-ribbon bows. Fine vicunas,, cameleon bourettes, novel effects in Castor beavers, honey- comb, two tone, and Loie Fuller cheviots are the most fashionable goods for jacket cloths and coatings for fall. A laundry bag, seventeen inches by thirty inches, stamped, may be pur- chased at any of the stores for a trifle, and when embroidered it makes a very useful and ornamental article for the bedroom. The silk and wool Matalasses are among the richest of the many novel- ties in dress goods for the year. They are made in two tone colorings, green nearly always being one, blended with suitable shades of tan, brown, navy blue, or blue. Private letters from Paris say that the Elizabethan ruff is ‘‘coming in,” and may be expected to cross the At- lantic in the very near future. From the same course it is learned that crinoline has obtained that following among the French that has been steadily refused it here. Here is the latest fad for the five o’clock teas. A thirty-six-inch hems stitched linen square, embroidered in a conventional design, which incloses in two corners the figure 5 and in the other two corners the word o’clock.

SOLDIERS” COLUMN EURCPEAN ARMIES. Twenty: Two Million of Seldiers Can Be Put Into Activity in Case of War. IT is estimated by Maj.Gen.

In round = numbers to-day it R 2 is more than SN twenty millions. - Without. in- “cluding the final M7 reserves, and only ro nM reckoning those men who have been thoroughly train- ed assoldiers and are liable for ser- vice beyond the frontier, Russia has in round numbers 5,000,000 men; France and Germany 4.000,000, Austria 2,- 500,000, Italy 2,000,000. And these numbers are being continually increas- ed. Very lately France, by lengthening the duration of liability to service from a period of twenty to twenty five years, made an enormous addition to her military strength, and the presen: German army bill contemplates a large increase in the numbers of the German army. Capt. Mollard of the military school of St. Cyr recently published a very interesting pamphlet on the arm- ies of Europe and their relative grow- the since 1869. Europe, says Capt. Mollard, now devotes uearly five mil- liards of francs a year to her fighting forces. In 1870 she could at the ut- most bring 7,000,030 of soldiers into active service. She now disposes of 12,500,000 and will soon have 22,000,- 000. The conclusion Capt. Mollard’ draws is that Prince Bismark’s policy of blood and iron and the seizure of Alsace-T.orraine have given rise to these monstrous facts, and that every nation might be led to disarm were restitution made by Germany to France. He takes the military statis- tics, he says, from official sources on- The following figures are from Capt.

In 1870 Europe could put in line in cace of war and a supreme eifort near- v 7,000,000 men; last year she could nut 12,500,000 in the field and to-day “he number can be increased to nearly 22,000,000. In 1870, says Capt. Mollard, Europe #:d not occupy herself altogether with war. People lived in peace and la- bored, seeking to develop eivilizeiion and wealth without any great cae for the morrow. To-day the fear of a tre- wmendous war ocenpies all minds and interferes with transactions of every kind, compelling the nations to sub- ordinate everything to the interests of military defense. And this startling deveiopment ol :nilitariam, Capt. Mollard concludes, “is the im nediate tangible result of y re-establishment by Prussia of the ‘terman Empire, and of the tutelage ~hich she has imposed upon all in he: lesire to bring about the final dis memberment of France.”—FPittsburg Pa., Gazette.

The Situation Chiefly a Waiting One However. What Latest Crop Reports Show. R. G. Dun’s weekly review of trade, New York, says: The country has been wait- ing. While uncertainty has prevailed, men have not known what to do with safety, and so havedone as little as they could. Industries cannot always wait, and in them ar. arrest of improvement general- ly means some reaction. Merchants whe have obligations to meet cannot alway wait, and for some there kas come misfor tune. The speculatorsand traders wait be cause they have no substantial basis for o judgment. The volume of business trans acted increases some, because the longei people go without clothing or food or othe necessaries the more certain theirdemand i to revive. Government crop reports have not helped speculation, because they are not in hr mony with prevailing judgments. Whea has weakened 11 cents, though the govern ment report would indicate a yield of only 391,000,000 bushels, so small as te warrant ¢ much higher price. Western receipts fo) the week have been 6,054,648 bushels, again st 9,361,979 last year, while Atlantic exports have fallen to 621 861 bushels, agains! 1.909,123 last year. Corn has advanced } cent, pork products being unchanged, but either would be very much stronger if men put fall confidence in official estimates. Oil has risen a cent and coffee is unchanged. Cotton stands just where it did a week ago, in spite of a report which some interpreted as conclusive proof of a yield far below that of last year, but the enormous stocks of old cotton in sight here and abroad would explain the great hesitation in that market. even if the official estimates were fully credited. Cot- ton goods suow a general improvement in tone, though weakin spots The demand for woolen goods is not a tuird of the usual magnitude.
