ELLEN OSIIORN'S LETTER. Eome of Fashion's Fancies as Seen in Paris. I'arlNtan Drennes Prepuce*] for tlie Troiußoau of a Vonun PrlneeMa of Italy—l'D Ique 10 nip Ire Cos tume—Hull Dresden. [Copyright, 1897.] Paris, .—ln u famous atelier 1 saw this morning some very pretty dresses in preparation for a wedding to take place after Easter in a noble family in Italy. The trousseau differs from that which would be provided for a rich American girl chiefly in the quantity of old and valuable laee drawn from the family treasures and used for the adornment of evening wraps and gowns. For spring wear at Sorrento, where t he bridegroom has a villa, is a dress of glazed taffeta of eiear opalescent tones, blue, gold or green as the light glances. On the material are scattered designs of small flowers in blue and gold. The skirt is cut after the most original of the new spring patterns, with a front shaped like an apron, narrow at the top, hml widening slowly to the bot tom. It is quite full on the sides and is laid in deep godets behind. The skirt is trimmed with a wide band of embroidery set on in broad, shallow scallops about 18 inches from the bottom. The design of the embroidery is white and gol<J marguerites on a deep blue silk ground. The blouse bod ice of the dress is made of the same silk as the skirt. It is draped across in loose folds from shoulder to shoulder and is confined at. the waist by a broad corselet belt of blue silk embroidered like the skirt band. Another piece of the same embroidery makes the upper part of the bodice, showing within the drooping curve of the swathing silk folds. There is a standing neckband of the silk with a lnce collarette above it at the back and on the sides. The sleeves are made of a single piece, with the scam on the inner side. They inre a little draped from the shoulder to the elbow but fit well from that (point to the wrist. At the hand they expand again and little mnnchcttes of lace show under them. Three small capelike epaulets finish them on the shoulder. The hot which has been prepared to accompany this gown is in shape more or less like an English walking hat but with u prettier and softer curve to the brim. It is of green chip with trim mings of blue ribbon and daisies. A very unique dress in this collection is after a modified Empire*design and is meant for quite informal evening wear. The short body is of blue velvet ami is cut loose and almost straight like the waist, of a child's gown. The neck is cut out like a child's dress also, with gimp of yellow Mechlin tulle laid in sun plaits to fill up the opening. The velvet body is edged with a heavy, ornamental cord twisted of blue and gold silk, and under this cord is gath ered the skirt, of yellow Mechlin tulle over pale yellow silk. The skirt is round at tire bottom and* the tulle is gathered all around the waist, though the plaits are closer in the back, where they widen into godets. The sleeves are composed of puffs of tulle at the shoulders, gathered into close, short sleeves of bfue velvet. These are edged with cord like the dress body and are finished at the elbows with deep frills of lace falling almost to the hand. The neck finish is a band of white silk with a lace collarette above. Almost as unique in conception is a dress of light grayish blue silk for driv ing or afternoon wear. The skirt is round at the bottom and close-fitting in front and at the sides. At the back it is laid in large plaits one over an other, turning into deep godets. It is trimmed around the bottom with two rows of dark blue velvet ribbon four or five inches apart, the lower row being set quite on the edge. The bodice forms n tni'lor-mnde jacket, slashed in deep points just below the bust in front, the slushing running half - way down the skirt under a narrow belt of blue silk buttoning across the waist with large cameo buttons. The length and the lance-like Blend em ess of the bodice points give a grace and an elegance to 1 he costume not to be expected from the description. The body of the jacket ojvens upon a bodice front of pale blue satin brocaded with pink and gold. The neck band of the bodice is of this bro cade with a small Medici collar of the jacket silk rising behind it and faced with dark blue velvet. The jacket turns over in small revers and is edged with blue velvet ribbon up, down and about. The sleeves have small, drooping puffs upon the shoulder and then diminish hi size to the hand. They are slashed at the wrjst. and guffs of laee are set in. Small square-cornered epaulets finish the shoulders. An extremely pretty hat belongs to this gown. it is of line blue straw turned up on the left side with a huge bow of blue satin ribbon. It i trimmed with white and gray narcissus blossoms and black plumes. I have seen quite a number of evening gowns in readiness for the spring sea son. A very pretty and simple one for a young girl is of pink mousseline de soie, S|>otte(l with pink and blue. The petticoat of this dress is of pink taffeta, round at the bottom and just touching the lloor. The mousseline de soie is <l)r|)ed over this quite simply, but with a deep flounce a third of the width of the skirt set on under n garland of the line pink and blue flowers of the forget me-not, which runs quite around. The bodice of taffeta is tight-fitting. It is low and square in front ami parts in the middle, a deep V running to the waist line. The decolletage is edged wit h for get-me-not sprays, and opens upon an under bodice of the pink mousseline cb r.oie gathered in fine plaits across the bosom and rising a couple of inches higher than the bodice of taffeta. There is a wide-draped belt of pink satin rib bon. The sleeves are short, full puffs of mousseline, tied across with forget-me nots. Another graceful gown for evening wear is of white tulle over white satin. The satin is cut as a close-fitting prin cess slip, low in the neck and round at the skirt hem. The tulle is laid over this in fine sun plaits from shoulder to ground, carrying out the princess de sign to the smallest detail. The waist in confined by a pointed belt of gold colored velvet and is further shaped by hands of the same velvet which start from the middle of the. decolletage in front and pass on either side below the bust, losing themselves under the arms. The skirt is trimmed with three circles of gold-colored velvet ribbon that start from rosettes on the right side above the middle and are carried loosely around. The sleeves are short puffs of tulle with velvet bows on the shoulders and gathered to velvet rib bons about the upper *part of the arm. A handsome visiting costume is blue green silk richly brocaded in the same shades. The skirt is very close fitting in front and over the hips. All the fullness is in tlie back, which is laiid in deep plaits forming godets. The skirt, is slashed around the bottom in front to allow dark blue satin bows to appear between the slashings. The bodice is close-fitting and swathed. Wide bretelles of blue satin jut out in square epaulets on the shoulders and taper gradually to the waiist line. These are edged with a delicate tendril em broidered in green and gold. The sleeves are slightly full at the shoulder and taper to the hand. Above the neck band is a collarette of the embroidered satin. ELLEN OSBORN THE EARTH'S FIRES. x:ll:i Thinks Man Will Learn How to Itlllxe Them. Edison says that before the world's supply of coal is exhausted we shall surely not be dependent upon it for fuel; in fact, fuel of any kind will be superfluous. It is said that he believes that the fires of the interior of the earth will be utilized in the future for the currying on of every industry requiring steaiin power. Volcanoes, geysers, natural fountains of boiling water in Iceland,as well asearthquakeshocks,are nil proof that fierce, subterranean fires are raging miles beneath our feet. Ed ison's belief is that immense pipes may be forced through the earth's crust, which would allow a great volume of steam compressed below us to force its way to the surface. This would furnish power to huge electromotors, which would, in turn, generate electricity to be used in storage batteries. All vehi cles for travel could be supplied with .these, and little recharging stations, with feed wires, could be erected in the streets. The power would be so cheap that it would do away with the use of horses. Furthermore, the farmer could have rows of pipes beneath the ground and' cause it to produce rare exotic plants and finer fruits than the hothouse sys tem. Machines would be worked with out coal and the atmosphere, conse quently, he purified from its gas and smoke. The homes of the poor would be automatically heated and lighted, with little expense. llow It Conlil Be Done. "1 w ant a good likeness," she told the photographer. "Of course," he said.

"REPLY RAID." BY FRANCES FORnES-ItORERTSON, f~"HE had received a letter in the morn ing begging her to somehow procure him a little money. Things were going badly, and he had thought of it all day long, having dispatched the lit tle she had, and, for the thinking, things looked no bel ter. Iler brother had not enough to live upon, and there was an end of it. Fate was niggardly with them nil. During the afternoon tlie girls came in, and Mrs. Hamlin. Mrs. llamlin was always delightful and cheery. llcr lovely dresses and sweet face and fragrant ele gance reminded Maisie that at least she was the right person in the right place—with fitting surroundings, and the beautiful things of life that all wom en instinctively claim us their right, hers. "Maisie, you look preposterously de jected. What is it? Are you in love with an anarchist, or is it only general aspirations towards the impossible?" "No, I am not in love; but I nin think ing of proposing to some one." "Why?" "Because I nun in a hurry. Fred, you know, is frightfully hard up." "But why don't you accept Mr. How ard, when'he's so devoted, poor man?" "That wouldn't be fair, because, you see, he is devoted, and I—no, 1 think a fat man with beard and glasses is the sort of thing—in the abstract." "O, excellent in the abstract. Pro tects you, is kind to you, and gives you checks. In the concrete he —" "Dear Mrs. llamlin, don't! The ir.nit ter is not discussable in the concrete." "Fancy Maisie proposing!" said one of the girls. "You don't, know what 1 am capable of," returned Maisie. "I'll dare you, Maisie!" Mrs. llamlin twinkled, "£2O on, and I'll give you a month." "Twenty pounds!" repeated Maisie, and there was an odd-sound in her voice. "Twenty pounds." "Done!" she said, to the astonishment of the room. "It's n bet!" Everyone sat up and bristled with delighted curi osity. Maisie, of all people, who in variably treated her swains with a good-tempered scorn that was the envy of her friends. "1 will do it now!" she went on, ex citedly. "Mabel, give me those tele gram forms. Of course, 1 won't under take to carry out t he contract if anyone accepts," she added. "No, no; but a bona-fide proposal!" She then sat down and addressed seven telegrams and dispatched thc.ni by the maid. "Reply paid," she said. "And now we'll have tea!" "What have you done?" questioned Mr. Hamlin. "I have asked seven men to muirry me!" "Maisie!" "Well, seven gentlemen will hardly be able to think that I am pining for them all; and they'll exchange notes." "Men never do that." "Ah, what men never do, that surely man always does," she laughed. "Hon or with them is a collective virtue that has no application in the singular. You shall read the answers." In due course of time the answers came. One by one the girl opened them before her expectant friends, who re fused to go till all had come. "Regrets," quoted Maisie, holding up one with mock gravity. "Next, please. Ah! thank you, Susan! 'Sorry, previous engagement' 'Alas! impossible!* 'Circumstances over which 1 have no control!' —'I would if 1 could, but I can't!' 'No!' —That's rather impolite, and he really—well, one mustn't be kissed and tell. 'Twas so long ago, too You see, ladies, how devoted my lovers all are; but I luave won my bet. Ah! here is another one more polite re fusal. No! 'Of course lam honored,' ** she read. A crimson flush of shame spread over the girl's laughing face. "That's chivalrous of him," she said, trying to hide her embarrassment. "And now to invent a polite refusal to my own proposal." Horace Sands y-'hs in chambers when Miss Maisie's telegram—reply paid arrived. He was smoking a cigarette With Max Welbv. They generally smoked together after Minch, in a kind of sympathetic silence. Tie read it slowly, and then said unrecordable words. After which, for him, unusual ejaculations, he went out. of the room. On returning his friend noticed an ex pression of most pptlielic woe .upon his placid features, and such a nang-dog look" that he refrained from putting any questions from fear of intruding on private matters. Horace, however, after some fidgeting, said: "You know, after all, it's a clrendful tiling, but what could a fellow do? She's a charming girl, of course—but I didn't think of exactly —in fact, I am not a marrying I man. you know—t never thought of marrying:—don't know anything about it." "If you'll explain what you are talk ing about. I may be able to understand." "Well, the fined is. Miss Maisiie wired and asked me—c|pn*t you know; and 1, of course—" "Asked you what?" "Well, I suppose I oughtn't to say," he said, suddenly flushing crimson. "Did she propose to you?" asked \Yel by, with an incredulous look of amuse ment. "Answer paid, too. The. devil she did! And you have accepted?" "What else would you have me do?" returned Sands, stolidly. For the next few days Horace Sands experienced a general sense of bewilder ing depression. lie was an engaged man —to a very lovely girl, it was true, but nevertheless he was engaged, tied up, as it were—somebody's property. lie must buy presents and rings, and think of furniture. Never in his life had he thought about furniture. Even at col lege he had not, as many of the men d id, troubled how his diggings were ar ranged. He passed a man in the street carrying a kitchen safe, lie tried to think what a safe was meant for, and realized t hat they would certainly have lo have a safe. Some perambulators in a great shop caught his eye, and he blushed and looked obstinately on the other side of tlie road. He had post poned calling—he had not dared yet. lie would never summon courage to be have as a lover should to such a won dei ful piece of femininity. He remem bered now t.lnt her eyes were gray, and serious, and laughing all at once; that, •lie had a delightful, petulant mouth, i The thought of her was sweet. The J reality at present was terrifying. He , could not yet face li.is betrothed, lie must have time to get used to himself i under these new conditions. Another I day passed. On the fourth lie d erased himself in a frock coat, adorned his but tonhole with a bouquet, and started for ' her house. When he arrived as far a-; the street in which she lived he turned J round and went to the club. There ; there was a note from her —three days | old. Again lie flushed and thrust it j into his pocket. lie went out. and in the busy traffic of the streets read his first love letter from Maisie. "Dear Mr. , Sands: How Chivalrous and nice of you! It was a bet, you know." He did not read any more, but strode home- j wards. He had been a pretty kind of I fool, anyhow—a vain ass, too. As if a i beautiful girl like that—then lie began to laugh. At any rate lie was free again —free!—but somehow lie wasn't quite sure that he wanted lo be so very free. The furniture had begun to interest hi m. Tliey met the next evening at Lady Vauglian's. She received liini with f very bright smile, and they danced. They danced several times, and then he said at (he end: "1 suppose you couldn't care for me, could you?" And she col ored all over, and said: "0, no, I couldn't, not anyhow in the world!" Fate threw them together. They con stantly met. She tried to avoid him. j but he would not let her, and she ceased j :t last to try. At the end of three j months he again asked her to be his j wife. The tears crept into her eyes ' ilien, and she said: "You are very kind and chivalrous, and I am very grateful. ■ but I can't, indeed 1 can't!" So that lie i went away conscious that there was a j barrier between tliein lie could not breakdown. He went abroad with \Yel by, and proved a preposterously duiJ : companion. "She will never have me!" lie said one day, irrelevantly. "1 believe it's all lie cause of that confounded telegram!" j "Most likely." "What shall I do?" "Forget her." "That's what I have been trying to - ' [g||| jJugj 14JL I I :;H. V/vY' THEY DANCED SEVERAL TIMES, do, but she's crept somehow into my heart, and I can't." "Wire, then!" "What?" "What she wired to you." Maisie was sitting with Mrs. Hamlin, and her pretty face was even paler than on the memorable occasion of the send ing of the telegrams. "All!" she said, "it is a pity. J care for him so much— so much—and it could never be now! Could it?" "It's rather difficult," said Mrs. Ham lin. "How mad of us all to have let you do it! We didn't realize till the things were gone. Your spirits carried us away, lie's abroad, isn't he?" "Yes, and I can't bear it, but 1 must; that's life, isn't it?" she said, with a little sad smile. "We all manage to bear what we can't." And then a telegram came, reply paid. "What- is it?" said Mrs. Hamlin. "lie has wired. Look!" "And what are you going to say ?" The girl sat down upon her heels, upon the floor, and looked first, into the fjro and 1 Hen at. Mrs. Hamlin. "I think I ought to he polite, don't you?" she said. "He was to me." "Yes," said Mrs. Hamlin, "I thiivkyoti should he polite!" And Miss Maisie was* —Westminster Budget. MISS PHOEBE COUSINS. Few Careera Have Boon Mora Ro mantic Than Hers. Hlie Wis the I'lrxl Women Lawyer in the t nlted States— I Thinks Now That iler Life I3ux Been a Vast Mintake. Phoebe Cousins, the first woman law yer of America, the first woman to be come a United States marshal, and for many years known over the length and breadth of the country us an ardent, uncompromising public advocate of v omau's rights, is now seriously ill at St. l/ouis. Disease has laid low the woman whose stalwart will carried her through a successful career in the face of opposition and obstacles of every sort. Few careers have been more romantic, i says the New York Herald. A beautiful i girl she was besieged with admirers, | and might have made many brilliant I marriages. At one time a vice presi dent of the United State's and two United States senators sought her hand. Hut she disdained all offers. She had her mission to fulfill, and inexorably puisucd it until misfortune and illness finally showed her the fallacy of I her course. For Phoebe Cousins now believes that she has been mistaken all her life, and that the true aim of womankind is not civil equulity with man, but home and motherhood. Her parents were originally from the east. Iler father was among the most ; prominent unionists of St. Louis, re ceived tlie appointment of chief of po lice and provost marshal of the city I during the war. Her motlie.r was the : I.cad of the St. Louis branch of the san j itary commission and had charge of the j city hospitals. As a girl Phoebe Cousins was as bril- I Hunt as she was beautiful. She very ; early showed her disinclination, oi | rather her contempt, for social life, j For several years she was the belle ol ! St. Louis. Hut none of her admirers | could make headway with her. It was ; her favorite theme that women had a higher mission in life than marriage. When it was known that Plioebe Cousins had entered the law depart ment of Washington -university there was no surprise. St. had become [ (*• < J \ \ y pi M I MISS PHOEBE COUSINS. | fully acquainted with lier bent. Her friends knew that her years of treigu- I ing bellehood had been from her point i of view most unprofitable, and that | from them she had derived but ir.ud- I erate pleasure. j Her beauty had won many admirers I and suitors quite as many, but so plain i ly did she show her preference for men I of years and wisdom that one 1 y one i they left her side. Miss Phoebe <!'< i not I appear to even notice their desertion. ! She was in the zenith of her beauty then. I tall, slender, supple, with delicate putri j cian features, brilliant black eyes and i raven hair. Her complexion was olive, , with a rich shifting crimson in her | cheeks. j Then, ns until extreme adversity ovei took her, she was noted for the taste i fill elegance of her dress. She lucked j something of the softness of mar.nor of j most southern women. More in cvi ! donee was a certain self-a.' >ert!veiu::.s, : tempered by good breeding. I She secured entrance into the law de- I partinent with some difficulty, was i graduated from it with honor, and then began the career which, so far as human | insight goes, is nearly at an end. She ; made a few strong woman suffrage ! speeches—one at a Presbyterian Sun- I day school convention in Jefferson City, I where she startled her staid audience by ; asserting that "Paul's words to women amounted to nothing, for Paul was sim ply a crusty old bachelor, with no au thority to lay commands upon woman ; kind," and anot her at the banquet of the Mercantile Library association, where : she was toasted as "our own Phoebe ; Cousins." Then she spread her ambitious wings and flew i way to Washington. There she was entertained by prom inent futni]ies and lectured before vari ous audiences on t.lie cause she had es poused. She became a protege of Susan lb Anthony, and the little circle of agitators hoped much from this promising addition to their number. She lias not walked for a year. Time and cure have deeply seamed her face and robbed her cheeks of tlicir color. Iler hands are gnarled anil her limbs drawn almost out of human semblance. There are streaks of gray in her black hair. Her eyes retain a little of their old fire. She is still a close student of affairs as mirrored forth in newspapers. The disease which fetters her is ar ticulate rheumatism. Cremation nnil Burial. The Sanitary Burial association of London is trying to introduce a system of cremation and burial combined.

BLOOD POISONING. GIVEN UP TO DIE! Remarkable Recovery of Mrs, Thomas Stockton, of LAFAYETTE, PA. Mrs. Thomas Stockton, of Lafayotto. McKcan Co., l*a.. relates the following remarkable recovery: •When lirst taken ill, Dr. Ward, of Mt. Alton, said that I had dropsy of the bowels; I kept grow ing worse and he advised me to go to the Bradford Hospital, where he operated upon me. 1 had been out of the hospi tal but a short while, when blood poison ing sot in. A physician from Mt. .lewett attended me for three weeks and then said he could do no more for me and gave me up to die. My husband then took mo to Dr. Freeman, at, Smethport who wanted to operate upon me, but as I had already gone through one awful experience of that kind. 1 refused to again. After arriving back home, I made up my mind to try OR. DM KENNEDY'S is I had heard of itdoiug others so much good, so my husband went to Thompson . Wood's Drug Store, in Bradford, and purchased a bottle and it certainly was , a God-send to me. From the very lirst it seemed to help me. the pain 1 had en dured constantly began to leave me. m\ appetite improved, and before long ! was around the house doing considerable ! work. In short, hud it not been for Dr. | David Kennedy's Favorite Uomedy I believe I should have been in my grave today. I hope every one suffering from disease, especially women, will try this valuable medicine. I know of many here ! who are using Favorite Remedy since ii | helped me so much, and in every case it i has proved its great value." ft*. aY '"A AT* * * •~ r yT ***!,♦* *" .* T 'V | Wheels, | STYLES: £ | Ladies', Gcctfemen's & Tandem. £ 1 ?
