How refreshing it is to fall in company with one who has not lost con fidence in his fellowmen. There is sun shine in that soul. Christian Advocate Rev. Win. G. Paddefoot has figured out that it costs $50 000000 a year to run tbe churches and $400 000. 000 to run tbe jails. He remarks : "We pay eight times as much for running our fellow-men down and jailing them as we do in trying to make them better so that they will not need the jail." Rockingham Index: Mr. J. I.

Tailor eowss No linger rialn FlaiU and FoW Wide SUfTenad Bklrta. . ; Sleeves were large "enough in the early raring and have increased in dimensions ever slnoe, so much so that a fashionably diessed woman, especially In evening' toilet, can scarcely enter straight through A SIMPLE STYLISH DEES8. SJaW a doorway, but must turn in rather a crab like fashion, right shoulder foremost, to avoid crushing the balloon on tbe left arm. - But. after oil, when not too exaggerat ed, tbe luodo of embellishing the shoulders and making the bodice and sleeves tbe sa lient point in a costume is more elegant and moro in unison with the lines of form than the opposite extreme of an immense circumference of skirt, crinoline, flounces and furbelows and tight bodioes with plain sleeves, making the shoulders and bust look far too insignificant , The plain, close fitting skirts vre have bad lately ore so becoming &it for tbe next throe months there may be little change, except a slight difference in tbe cut. The front and side breadths will he gored, and the back breadth plain (instead of en bias, as heretofore) and mounted on the band, with three large plaits, at the back. These must bo lined with horsehair or some stiff lining to keep them out. Nearly all the bodices are made 'with round waists, andi belts are worn "with them. i ' '"; Even the tailor made costumes are not plain, ns formerly For morning wear tailors aro making up cloth or fancy wool en materials with three folds or plaits in front and one at tbe back of the bodice, and in this case there is one wide box .plait in the back of the skirt, which appears a continuation of tbe aforesaid plait In the bodice, though divided by the belt or band,' and naturally the skirt plait widens out toward the ground. - ' V The more dressy style ol robes for visits and 6 o'clock teas is made of silk, moire pr some rich material.' There is generally a small yoke richly embroidered on velvet, the sleeves from elbow to wrist the same; also the waistband. I Nearly all the jackets, mantled and capes have high standing open collars, much re sembling the medici collar of three or four years ago. ' In tbe way of furs, sable, lamo ana blue fox are In vogue. Ermine is more suita ble for linings. Sable and other such furs are made up with a wide fiat collar and long stole ends. Another form has the same shaped collar, Due . comparatively short ends, like what was called in years gone by a "victorine." The little neck, tuffs again In vogue form a most bewitching finish to a morn ing, afternoon or evening dress. Some an AFTERNOON TOILET. of curled ostrich feathers; . others of the bright tips of impeyan pheasant plumes set closely together; : others, more dressy, are of .silk cut out in tbe shape of rose petals and massed together. Then, again,' chiffon is puffed and ruched and alternat ed with rosettes or ! flowers. Indeed ail have some coquettish finish a flower at the side or sometimes on both sides. There is no limit to the variety that can be obtained, and. they are excessively be coming, forming a soft frame for a pretty head., '-! - s Fashion's Echoes. V Satin is and will continue to be much in favor and much worn. The prinoess shape Is also in vogue again, a most ele gant gown, close fitting, but with three plaits at the back of tbe skirt It fastens down the left side from neck to foot with fancy silver hooks and eyes sewed out side. . - j - -:. Lace is plentifully used to ornament bodices, and some wonderful specimens of imitation guipure have been produosd. Russet shoes, made in a kind of material known as Bordeaux calf, which has a dis tinct grain to it, are very much In demand for winter wear, both for men and women. They are made with both cork and double soles for outside wear. Men's caps are principally of Sootch tweed of light color.; The most popular of these Is the "golf," which has an extreme ly low andfuU crown that nearly covers the visor. v" . . - : J .7 . A prominent feature this season is the adoption of the Sootch edge for children's walking shoes. This is an extra wide and overlapping style of sole, which is only used for outdoor wear and has the merit of pre venting the child from kicking out the toes or wearing the shoe over at the side. Heads are still 'used on fur boas, but It is newer to fasten such boas with tails and paws. Some nro double and encircle the -throat, and some aro lined with satin and are much brc ider. j The long boas only reach to the knee, and feathers are worn' as much as fur. ; A Desdlr Drama, ' The following strange story is told of the manusoriot of "Elaine," a drama by George-Parsons. It was. accepted and produced by Miss Annie Russell, but no sooner had the lady proceeded thus far than she was taken ill, which entailed the withdrawal of the piece. Thereupon Mr. Lathrop sent it to Miss Mary An derson. "She liked jit" and was actual ly in negotiation to produce it when she also, became ill, "desperately ill." The unlucky author then tried ,Mrsl Langtry. She was "enchanted' and eager to bring it out when, lot the Jersey Lily was "stricken down with fever. " , ; .. ; . . Finally tho parcel of manuscript was dispatched to Miss Julia Marlowe. Re gardless of her doom, like Grey's Eton boys, this "little victim" was just then playing to audiences in Philadelphia.

A Beast Odd ; and .wild Wnid Firolan.es Toothsome BepstV a:;;;:7; With other strange forma of. life found in far Patagonia is the armadillo, an ani--mal with habits' that cannot fall to Interest amateur naturalists. Tbere-are two forms of the armadillo. : Roughly speaking, one is like a hairy guinea pig with a pointed turtle shell over its back and bead, while the other is like a thick turtle without any breastplate. The former is very rare even In Its haunts in, the Andes. ' The latter is everywhere abundant. - As described by BABS ARMADILLO HAIET AKMADILLO. . all who have 'seen' it, the latter will eat and get fat very fat on anything from grass roots to decayed fish or cattle, from an ant to a poisonous serpent, from straw-' berries to rats and mice. In the wilderness it roams about by day because the eats of the desert persecute It most at night. - - Near tbe settlements, where; Jby the. way, it thrives best, it is abroau at nignr because man persecutes it In tne day. biow moving as it seems to be when the trav eler sees it at sunset, it overtakes the ser pents of tbe region in a fair race and kills them by squatting ion them and sawing Its body to and fro so tnat tne edges 01 its protective shell cut the snake to pieces. It captures mioe by sneaking on them eat faahlon-and throwing its body over them like a trap. It grubs for worms. - It robs nests of eggs and nedgeimgs. jnow, al though it eats a great many things that are repulsive to civilized tastes, the arma dillo is itself a most delicious article of food for any human taste, civilized or un civilized. . Tbe variety In its bill of. fare Beams but to add delicacy to its flesh. A writer in tho New York Sun, who bas in his joumeyinRS eaten nearly every kind of fish, flesh and fowl served between Ivigtut, Greenland, and Ushuaia, Terra del Fuego, claims to have found nothing quite so much to his taste j as an armadillo baked in the embers of an outdoor fire on the desert of Patagonia. - . .' Effects of Temperature. Experiments of PicteL the French ehent-' 1st. show that animals and insects oppose a wonderful resistance to intense cold ob tained from liquefied atmospherlo air. A dog placed in a copper receiver at a tem perature of 60 to 90 degrees C. showed a rise of bodily temperature of .5 in .ten minutes, and after 1 X hours had only lost 1 decree. A little later, however, nature gave np the struggle, the temperature fell rapidly, and tbe animal died suddenly. Insects resist a temperature 01 go degrees, but not 85 degrees. Birds' eggs lose their vitality at 2 to S degrees, ants' eggs at 0. Infusoria die at 90 degrees, while bacteria are still virulent at 818 degrees. This last fact is perhaps the most signifi cant of all I Feeding Boiler Fires at the Bottom. According to The Manufacturers' Ga- cette, not only can smoke be suppressed but a saving of 80 per cent on fuel bills can be effected by feeding boiler fires from underneath instead of from the top, as has been tbe custom ever since coal became a fuel. A mechanical stoker introduces a uniform quantity of fuel at regular inter vals under the boiler, and tbe combustion thoroughly consumes all of tbe gases and smoke from the green coal as it passes through the bed of incandescent coke above it. :-r;J " :-.V : A -"' A.
