FOR THE LADIES.
THE ZIGZAG PATTERN IN DRESS.
The zigzag pattern in dress material is
decidedly the thing. The pattern is in
all sizes and shades and is fashionable
whether in woolen, silk, satin or velvet.
The long waist continues to be liked both
for costumes and jackets except in the
caso of young women who prefer round
waists anil plain skirts. Rich brocaded
silks with flower designs and liea\y
watered silks will bo worn with gold
embroidery. It is not yet fully decided
what will be tho fashion for party and
evening costumes. —[New \ork Commer

OOWNS AS INDICATORS OF EMOTIONS.
The latest npostlo of the beautiful in
dress has arisen to promulgate a new
code of ethics by which a woman's gowns
shall be a chronicle or dress directory of
her emotions and conditions. Tho holy
and dignified estate of matrimony shall
find expression in a black garment, while
love, its precursor, too often only its pre
cursor, is robed in a garment upon which
the torch of Hymen starts from poppies
in crimson and gold, symbolical of love's
hypnotism. Health wears a gown of
Nile green, with a border of lotus flowers.
Life is garbed in whitecrepo, with silver
antique traceries. Death is glorified in
garments wherein tho golden light of the
sun and tho silver sheen of the moon
beams mingle in tho mysterious symbol
of death. Fancy scolding a woman ( got
up in such occult, murkily, mystic things)
übout the coal bill, or asking her where
in thunder sho has put your collars or
clean stockings.- -[New York Times.
ARRANGEMENT OF THE HAIR.
A pretty way of arranging tho hair is
that of combing tho front locks back
(after waving them), over a very small
roll. Then at each side of the head, above
the temples, are soft rings of hair that
veil the forehead. The rest of tho hair
1 8 combed up to the top of the head,
divided into four portions which are
loosoly platted, then coiled or intcrwined,
forming tho " basket-braid cap," as it is
called, which covers the crown of the
head, coming close to tho soft roll of hair
abovo tho forehead. When tho head is
well-shaped and the features fairly regu
lar this fashion of dressing tho hair is
much admired. It has a neat appear
ance, quite distinct from tho ultra fuzzy
stylo so long popular. This smoother
yet very graceful coiffure, when it hap
pens to suit tho face, is decidodly pretty.
Fine long hair-pins are required to fasten
tho plaits securely.—[Chicago Post.
EULOGY ON WOMEN.
"How can tho roso grow," criod a wise
man of old, "without sunshine? How
can a violet bloom 011 tho salty soil? Lo!
women are flowers, that aro always be
coming moro and moro beautiful and
frugrant the more thoy aro guarded and
cared for. But men should bo keepers j
in the garden of beauty; they may ro
ioice themselves in the fragrance of tho
flowers, but they may not rumple them
with rude hands. Just as tho weed is
rooted from the flower-bed, so should all
that is baso and common be romoved far
away from the neighborhood of woman!
Tread upon the rose with thy foot, and its
thorns amaze thee; watch over it with
love and care, and it will bloom and bo
fragrant, an ornament to itself and thee.
Make thyself of thine own accord a slave
to a woman, and sho will not bear it, but
will herself bow before thee, and in
thankful love look up to thee as her lord;
muke a woman by foreo thy BIUVC, and
she will bear it still less, but will seek by
craft and cunning to obtain dominion
over theo. For the empiro of love is the
empire of contradictions; tho wise man
marks this and acts accordingly. The
moro one has to do with women the more
one learns to know them; and tho more
one learns to know them, the moro one
learns to love them; and tho more one
loves them, the more 0110 is loved again
—for over-y true love finds its response,
nnd tho highest love is tho highest wis
dom.—[The Ledger.
TALL GIRLS.
It is the fashion for girls to bo tall.
This is muoh moro than saying that tall
girls aro tho fashion. It means not only
that tho tall girl has coino in, but that
girls aro tall, and are bocoming tall, be
cause it is tho fashion, and because there
is a demand for that sort of girl. There
is no hint of stoutness, indeed tho willowy
pattern is preferrod, but neither is lean
ness suggested; the women of tho period
have got hold of tho poet's idea, "tall
and most divinely fair," and aro living
up to it. Perhaps this change in fashion
is more noticeable in England and 011 the
Continent than in America, but that may
bo because there is less room for change
in America, our girls being always of an
aspiring turn. Very marked tho phe
nomenon is in Europe this your; on the
street, at any concert or rocoption, tin;
number of tall girls is so large as to oc
casion remark, especially among the
young girls just coming into the con
spicuousness of womanhood. The ten
dency of tho new generation is towards
unusual height and gracious sliinnoss.
The situaiio:; would bo embarrassing to
thousands of men who have been too
busy to think about growing upward,
were it not for the fact that the tall girl,
who must be looked up to, is almost in
variably benignant, and boars her height
with a sweet timidity that disarms fear.
Besides, the tall girl has now come on in
such forco that confidence is infused into
tho growing army, and there is a sense
of support in this survival of the tallest
that is very encouraging to the young. —

A WOMAN DOCTOR'S BROUGHAM-
A busy woman doctor in Brooklyn,
whoso practice is so extensive that it
keeps her driving over the city's ill-paved
stroets for many hours every day, has
had made for her a brougham which com
bines about as many comforts as is pos
sible to pack into so confined a space.
To begin with, under the seat is a
capacious drawer, divided into compart
ments, to hold those surgical instruments
which a doctor must carry. In the same
drawer is found room for two or three
small handbags containing an assortment
of medicines. There is also space for a
small portablo electric battery in its
polished wood caso. These are all hid
don away, however, when the drawer is
shut, and so do not mar y their painful
suggestivonoss tho snugly comfortable
appearance of the rest of tho interior.
There is nothing out of the way about
this, of courso. The novel features are
all in front of tho brougham facing tho
occupant. Tho most "striking" is a
pretty clock, by which the doctor times
her visits and the speed of her coach
man. It is screwed to the wall so to
speak, at a convenient height. Under
neath it is a silver-plated flower-holder,
for the doctor has lost none of her essen
tially feminine tastes because she hus
learned how to saw your log oft*. Then
in a little pocket in the lining of the car
riage is a manicure set, for a doctor's
hands should always be a joy to look at,
even when they belong to a man. In
another pocket is a brush and comb and
some hairpins. This doctor's hair is
thick and long and a little unruly, being
generally charged with electricity from
her intensely energetic spirit. In
another pocket is a whisk, for the rouds
are mostly dusty in Brooklyn, and the
doctor's costumes have inspired many a
young woman to acquire a profession.
Another fold hides a scent bottle. Sick
rooms are often poorly ventilated.
There is a mirror, of course, that can
ho hung 011 a hook just below the clock
and then returned to its pocket. A fan
peeps out there, a glove-buttonor here
and a bigger pocket than all has goner
ally one or two (if the latest numbers of
the magazines; medical ones for the doc
tor's own perusal as she bowls ulong.and
more entertaining ones for her friends,
l'or this doctor is seldom seen driving
about alone. She generally has some of
her patients or her friends with her, and
when conversation flags, or the guest is
waiting in the brougham while the doctoi
is calling 011 a patient, the magazine
keeps the time from dragging. Even
j her couchman gets the benefit of this
j feature, and he may often bo seen, look
ing more comfortable than "correct,"
leaning back upon his box with a copy of
the Century or Scribncr's in his hand. —
[Xew York Tribune.
GIRLS' WINTER FROCKS.
These new designs for girls' wintor
frocks are of warm woolen stuff's—cash
mere, camel's-hair, cloth, aud the fleecy
rough-finished fabrics.
A house dress fashioned liko a Watteau
wrapper is worn in the morning by girls
of six to ton years. Cashmere, crepon,
or flannel is the material, with waist lin
ing of sateen. For a girl of six years
two breadths and a half of material
(cashmero width) are gathored to around
collar-like yoko fitted by shoulder seams.
Tho straight slooves half a yard wide
are gathered at tho top and to a wrist
band. Velvet ribbon two inches wide is
sot in a point in tho back just below the
yoke, then drawn tt> tho front, and fas
tened under a rosette. To complete this
pretty dress, a wide round collar and
cuffs of nainsook are worn. Thoy are
doubled of tho material, and edged with
a frill two inches wide that may be hem
stitched.
A comfortable cloak for girls of four
to eight years is of ladies' cloth warmly
lined, with fur trimming, tan, cadet
blue, or reseda green cloth trimmed with
brown mink or beaver, or else with tho
fleecy Mongolian fur—white, black, or
colored—to match the cloth. Tho yoke is
shallow and pointed, tho high collar
is a. straight band covered with fur,
and full bishops' sleeps fall on deep
cuffs edged with fur. Braces of the
cloth cross in the back below the yoke,
and lap in front at the waist line. The
soft-crowned Florentine cap is bordered
with fur, and has a pompon of ostrich
feathers with an aigrette in the centro.
School frocks of cashmere, vigogno, or
of plaid wool foj girls of eight to four
teen years havo a widely belted waist in
visibly hooked under tho front gathers,
and a full gathered skirt. The waist is
gathered bolow tho throat, and under the
belt in front and back. The skirt of
three breadths of double-width goods (for
girls of twelve years) is gathered to the
waist permanently. A separate belt,
reaching almost to the armpits in corselet i
fashion, is well lined and may bo whale- I
boned, and is nearly covered with rows 1
of black soutache, it is laced in front j
through eyelet-holes. The sleeves are !
shirred to rutflo at tho wrist, and rows of
braid are set on the shirring. The turned- |
over collar is also trimmed with braid. j
A lovely little frock for parties or
dancing-school for girls of six to twelve
years is of wash silk, pink, mauve, or
blue, with white stripes. Tho low full
corsage is bolted with velvet of darker
shade than the ground of tho silk, or else
with black, and is trimmed with a very
full frill of white laco or of chiffon with
scalloped edge. It is worn over a guimpo
of white crepe do Chine gathered at neck
anu wrists without trimming. The
striped elbow sleeves nro also untrimmod,
being simply corded. The ribbon
velvet bow on the hair matches tho belt
in color.—[Harper's Bazar.
No change is to bo seen in tho shape
of bonnets—that is, nono to noto.
A rose pink, not old rose, is a new and
fashionable shade for millinery.
Ermine is again asking for favor, and
is very beautiful when carefully used.
Woolly effects as to surface are very
fashionable for everyday wear for tho
winter.
Tho largo buttons of fantastic shape
are very quaint and of ton very ornamen-
Tho most charming of boas is of white
lamb's wool, and it is very fashionable
also.
White chamois bedroom slippers aro
worn with neglige gowns of white India
silk.
All skirts for dcini-toilette aro mado
with short trains. Frequently thero is a
cluster of rulHes at tho foot.
Silk galloons and passementeries are
many of them wrought in chenille and
are frequently enriched with jeweled
headings.
Indian-red cloth costumes with coat
bodice and bell skirt aro very hundsome
when trimmed with black silk braiding
and black fox fur.
Changeable effects are in high favor.
Even tho richest velvets come to us in
all sorts of iridescent hues, and change
able silk muslin is one of the most fash
ionable novelties.
A jacket-do-luxo is of brown colored
cloth richly braided in tho same shade
with touches of gold here and thero. It
is profusely trimmed with beaver and has
beaver sleeves.
Prominent among wraps are very long
round cloaks with velvet yokes. They
aro of rough, shaggy fabrics that are
very soft to tho touch.
Some lovely evening cloaks aro mado
of tomato colored Lyons velvet, elabor
ately trimmed without jot passementeries
of the richest description. Tho cloaks
are lined with black plush, and thero is
the merest roll of black fur at all tho
edges.
A now and rough make of goods known
as heather cheviot is a most popular ma
terial for travelling costumes. Whatever
the color of this fabric, brilliant bits of
scarlet, bronze, green, gray and gold can
bo discovered on close inspection of tho
pattern.
A pretty half-short street garment is a
jacket of dark cloth, which opens on a
square velvet vest. The vest is belted
I in by a half-bolt coming from the sides
I and fastened with a handsome buckle.
With this is a detachable cape, which is
buttoned on underneath the collar.
There is a revival ot lustrous, heavy
gruinod poplins. These goods are nearly
us handsome as silk proper and they are
tar more durable. Furthermore, thoy
never wear shiny as do tho most expen
sive silks. Not only this, but in tho
lighter shades they will resist soil in a
way that no other silk textile will do.
Of rich materials ribbed velvet is one
of tho most popular. Indeed, many im
porters have duplicated their orders.
Thoy are narrowly ribbed liko corduroy
with tho fluttened pile giving the effect
of two tones of a color, or the ribs aro
wide apart, and the pile is on lighter
surface of silk, forming richly shadod
stripes.
Very handsome are some of the French
walking coats made of deep Aldoruoy
cream-colored billiard cloth and trimmed
with cut jot cabochons aud faceted nail
heads. The coats are lined with black
satin and finished with a largo reverse
collar of black fox fur. Other models,
in cafe-au-lait brown of tho palest tint,
arc lined and trimmed with very dark
mink fur.
Fashionable dressmakers perfume tho
crescent-shaped pads of horsehair that
aro fitted around tho arm's eyes of bod
ices under tho perspiration shields, with
tho best quality of sachet powder,
using enough only to impart a deli
cate fragrance and not an overpowering
perfume.
An odd conceit is a gardeu-lmt made
of paper and trimmed with the same.
One is pale green, trimmed with snow
balls, and another in red. trimmod with
poppies, aro triumphs of skill. The
paper used is that employed in mak
ing paper flowers, and the pretty
crinkled stuff looks not unlike cropo.
Long sleeves will continue in fashion
during tho winter. And the women who
like delicate lace ruffles falling down over
their hands and making them look smal
may indulge in this fancy, and not onl
have the knowledgo that they are in good
taste, but also that it is a fashion
approved of by tho Queen of Eng
land.
Trees Grow From Trees.
The Botanical Department of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania has just suc
ceeded in growing a plant which in its
native land has a great commercial value,
but which has here completely batflod ull
former efforts to grow it. This plant is
known in technical languago us the
Rhizophora Mangle, more commonly as
tho "Mangrove." It is a native of trop
ical regions and shoots stems downward,
like tho Banyan treo of India. These
stems eventually take root in the ground
and spring forth aguin as separate trees.
Thus, from a single tree, a whole forest
is produced within a comparatively short
time.
.Sometimes, however, the stems, which j
aro about seven inches in length, drop
into the ocean, and are carried hundreds
and hundrods of miles out to sea, until a
jut of rock, an oyster bed, or a ledge of
sund is met with. However barren the
rock may be, whether there is soil on it
or not, this plunt has a peculiar faculty
of attaching itsolf and growing with
celerity. Ultimately, sea-weed and other
flotsam and jetsam of the ocean are borne
by tho current to this little bit of rock
and held there. In course of time a
whole island or peninsula is formed, and
an impenetrable forest of mangroves is
established. Those mangroves, continu
ally forming additional soil, by reason of
falling branches and dead leaves, in
time also dio, and cocounuts ami palm
seeds, carriod by the current from other
lands, germinate in tho soil thus formed.
Hitherto, it has been found impossible
to grow mangrove out of tho influence
of salt air. Professor Wilson, of tho
Botanical Department of tho University,
hus, however, in a mixture of sharp bouch
sand and a little vegetable mold, suc
ceeded. These are supposed to bo the
only specimens of tho plant in any hot
' house of the United States, and their suc
cessful growth hns been very gratifying.
Tannin, which is extensively used for
leather purposes, is extracted from tho
mangrove, and this the olant its
great commercial value. —[Philadelphia

Assateagne Island.
Assutoaguo Island, where tho United
States steuincr Despatch was wrecked,
hus at various times been an island and
a peninsula. For 200 years there have
been periods when tho sea broke through
the narrow sand bouch at Assatoaguo and
converted it into an island. Then the
inlet would close up, and there would bo
a long, narrow peninsula, bringing tho
coast from a point a little below the
northern boundary of Accomack county,
Vu., to Fenwick's Island, at tho south
eastern corner of Dolaware. Fenwick's
Island, by the way, was once called Cape
Ilenlopen, though it is thirty or forty
miles below tho present cape of that name.
Assateagne extends down almost to the
southern extremity of Chincoteague, und
protects the last-named island from tho
fury of the Atlantic. Tho waters ull
about uro shoal, and tho largest vessels
trading at Chincoteague are built with
centre-boards. Assatoaguo light-house is
a noble shaft of brick rising in rigid
strength from a mass of pines and com
manding a wide prospect of dark bluo
sea and many pine-clad leagues of island
and mainland.—[Boston Transcript.

"August
Flower"
There is a gentle-

named Captain A. G. Pareis, who
has written us a letter in which it
is evident that he has made up his
mind concerning some things, and
this is what he says:
" I have used your preparation
called August Flower in my family
for sevfcn or eight years. It is con
stantly in my house, and we consider
it the best remedy for Indigestion,
and Constipation we
Indigestion, have ever used or
known. My wife is
troubled with Dyspepsia, and at
times suffers very much after eating.
The August Flower, however, re
lieves the difficulty. My wife fre
quently says to me when I am going
to town, 'We are out
Constipation of August Flower,
and I think you had
better get another bottle.' lam also
troubled with Indigestion, and when
ever I am, I take one or two tea
spoonfuls before eating, for a day or
two, and all trouble is removed." @

■low the Servant Got Even.
Early the other morning a patrol
watron was called to Ho. 328 East
Fort street. When the vehicle got
up into that neighborhood a bare
headed female came flying to meet it.
"1 want you to arrest Mrs. Goode,"
she cried excitedly. "She's my mis
tress and lives at No. 328. I want
her arrested because she hasn't raised
my wages as she promised."
The woman who made the remark
able request was Hannah Clifford, a
domestic. Hannah is a good girl, but
has a peculiarity. Whenever Mrs.
Goode found it necessary to scold her
Hannah felt so much aggrieved that
she called the patrol wagon and want
ed her mistress arrested. After the
(it passed away she became penitent,
and Mrs. Goode always forgave her.
Yesterday morning the patrol wagon
officers felt tired of being fooled, and
locked Hannah up in place of Mrs.
Goode. —Detroit News.
