Office : Room No. 2, Law Building, -p stairs. 7 1 Revolvers, Co V nines, """rn.rc; LADIES' COLUMN. A fJUEEx's RESPECT FOR TITE DEAD. Whea Queen ATictoria dies the numer ous suits of rooms now closed in the royal palaces ' will probably be reopened, for occupancy. The Queen has a strong penchant for closing rooms once used by her friends. The apartments at Claremont in which the Princess Char lotte died more than seventy years ago are rigorously closed. Prince -Albert's apartments at Windsor, Osborne and Balmoral are all kept precisely as they rc-ere when he was alive. The Duchess of Kent's rooms at Fragmore are also shut up, which renders that abode abso lutely useless, as they are the best in the house. The Queen has also kept John Brown's rooms at Windsor entirely closed since the death of that domestic. , TWO ROYAL SISTERS. The Princess of Wales and the Em press of Russia wear simple muslin dresses, and a belated traveler peering in at the window would only think it was an unusually happy and generous family party. The Princess of Wales is the taller and more reserved, but the sisters resemble each other very closely, and both incline to the same style of neck dressing, arranged in terraces (they say that in the case of the Princess the broad band covers a scar, but court ladies who have seen her in deshabille declare that it is not so, but it is worn simply because she knows a broad neck band helps the lines of her face and rnikes her longer. Age always begins to show itself in the neck, you know"). The last time I saw the Princess at a state concert, says a correspondent of the Indianapolis News, she was in mourning, with many dia mond stars on her black lace dress. On her neck she wore a band of velvet one inch wide, edged with lace. On this was a row of magnificent diamonds, while above and below were smaller revers, and. below all was a very elabor ate necklace necklace of diamond fila gree. OSCTTtiATORY GREETINGS. Kisses are really not agreeable greetings to exchange, say a woman writer in Lon don Truth: Very few people know how to bestow or receive them in a neat and satisfactory fashion. A slovenjy kiss is a really detestable article, and makes one dislike, and despise the bestower. Of all my girl friends who kiss me when we meet there is only one from whose oscu latory greeting I do not involuntarily shrink. Some butt at the kisses with lips made into a hard ball for the purpose. These almost give one the toothache. Others bestow their dewey lips upon one's cheek in a way that makes the recipient grope hastily but furtively for a hand kerchief. A third contingent kiss in a cold and chilling way that says plainly enough: "I kiss you because I suppose you expect it of me." I always sympa thize with these, and would gladly fall in with their views. Amy. do let us make a non-kissing conpact company and see how many of our acquaintances will join it. The rules would not forbid a kiss after a long absence, nor would it inter fere with lovers' kisses or anything of that sort, but only combat the custom of daily greeting by osculation. I feel quite sure that woman's friend ships would be firmer and more durable if they would abandon all such heavy demands upon it. Do you agree with me? FASHION NOTES. Enormous muffs and fur gloves reach ing to the elbows are a cosey prediction. All sealskin garments are now shaped to follow the lines of the figure, yt are not tight-fitting. Tortoise shell combs are now made so that jeweled tops may be removed and worn as brooches. Sealskin jackets are somewhat changed in shape, being of equal length front I and back, instead of sloping toward the , front, as last season. I . Bands of velvet, straight at the lower edge and cut out iu Vandykes at the top, i are an effective finish for straight skirts j-"of cashmere and cloth for little girls. ! Dressy frocks for misses are made of Nile-crecn or ox-blood red cashmere, I j with Figaro jackets of black velvet 1 and rows of plain velvet ribbon on the : plain skirts. ! Vulture is "the'' new color and will ; undoubtedly "go"' well. It is exactly the shade of a vulture's back, with a sort : of a .dusky bloom all over the surface, whether it is opera cloth, cashmere, camel's hair or Jwill. It is very cunningly woven"'. A popular ornament in expensive jewelry is the sun star. It is, as its name implies, a large star, with sharp points, and composed entirely 'of brilliants. It may be worn on the. shoulders, on the 6ash, or fastened into the lace draperies of a trained evening dress. FUN. . A story of high life The attic floor. Can a dude be called a ground swell? ' A poultry trust has been organized and thus the fowl business goes on. First Fish "How are you getting on?" Second Fish "Swimmingly." Occasionally you see a very rich man who is so economical that he would en joy being poor. Atchison Globe. "This is a grate experience," said the nutmeg as it went through the pulveriz ing process. Merchant Traveller. Friend "Do you still continue to send matter to the newspapers, Ckolly?" Cholly "Yes; but its merely for good faith and not necessary for publication." Judge. Boy "Papa, what does 4M. D.' mean after a doctor's name?" Papa (who has just received a bill from his family phy sician) "It means 'many dollars,' my son." New York Journal. "Nurse "It's a boy and he's got your eyes and nose and chin." Newly-Made Father "Got my chin, eh? That's good! I'm thankful he hasn't got his mother's." Mumey's Wtekly There is such a thing as being too funny, and a man realizes it when he kicks another man's silk hat, just for fun, and finds -that the other man has changed hats with him temporarily, just for fun, too. Somtrvtile Journal. "William," said the editor tothe office boy, "take these exchanges and put them under the hydrant." "Underthe hydrant, sir?" "Yes, and turn the water on. I want to relieve them of a little of their dryness." Washington Capitol. NOT IN PRINT THAT WAY. Editor "Have you ever appeared in print before?" Young Poet (proudly) " Yes, a hun dred times for certain!" Editor "Ah, but I don't mean visiting cards, you know." Unterhaltungiblatt. Clerk "Shall I send a bill with this suit for the baseball editor of The Bugler?" T;inr KTtv rtii mpans. Write him a note and say there is no hurry about pay ment." Clerk "And what about this suit for the owner of the paper?" T?lor "Send it C. O. D." Clothier and Fur nisher. Jones was reading aloud to the fam ily circle a mediaeval romance: "Just then, five minutes past twelve sounded from the belfry of the castle." "But," criticised Mrs. Jones, "no clock could strike five minutes past twelve." "Oh, yes, it could," replied the ingenious Jones, "if it was five minutes too slow." Judge. A baby is a specimen of human nature uncontroled by principle. It is a being of tierce instincts with no morals. It is the opinion of observing persons who have studied babies from a philosophical standpoint that if their capacity for mis chief were equal to their ferocity, they would soon exterminate the adults of the human family. Acw York ledger. IN THE WRONG PLACE. Plug Uirly (taking the best chair in the sanctum) "Say, I want satisfaction for dat t'ing yer had in de paper terday 'bout me. See?" Editor "Oh, yes; wait just a moment until I score one more death. I like to keep tally of the number of men I kill, you know. This makes the thirty-seventh. Now, what can 1 do for you?" Plug Ugly (reaching for his hat) "1 I guess I'm in the wrong office. 1 must a made a mistake." Laicrenct American. The Coldest Spot and Coldest Day. The coldest region ir, the. United States is the stretch of country on th northern border from the Minnesota lakes to the western line of Dakota. At Pembina, which lies n.jnr the forty ninth parallel, the LnveM temperature recorded in the great torm of the winter of 1873 was fifty-six degrees below zero. This is believed to be the lowest temper ature reached in the United States. &in Fraud Exn in in f r.
