A t the rcceut Indian national con gress a woman appeared for the first time in tlio tribune. This was Mrs. Vladainbiiii (iunguli, a doctor and a graduate of arts at the Cu'cutla (India) University, and she is reported as evoking extraordinary enthusiasm. 2d. Eiffel, of tower celebrity, having achieved high honois as an engineer' is now ambitious of becoming; a legis lator, and has issued nn address to the Senatorial electors of the Department of the Colo d'Or. lie declares I hat lie will do all he can to insure to workmen, whether in city or in country, a proper return for the work they produce. The Australian colonies have dis maliy failed in their effort to keep John Chinaman out by imposing a heavy poll-tax, alleges the Argonaut, Each immigrant from tho Flowery Kingdom has to pay when he enters tho colonies about one hundred dollars, nd yet, in spite of this drain upon bin resources, he sends for his brothers and cousins, and there are to-day in Australia four thousand more Chinese than nine years ago. There are over forty thousand t'hineso in Australia, and forty-seven thousand in Tasmania and New Zealand, a rather large pig-tp.il population. Statistics just published concern ing Portuguese finances arc of an alarming character- The debt of Portugal has increased 400 per cent, in the past 40 years, and the Govern ment expenses have increased .500 per cent. Tho revenuo has only trebled meantime, and the annual deficit has becoino fourteen times greater than at the beginning of the period named. Xegoli.it ion s are being conducted be tween the Portuguese Government and a French syndicate for the consolida tion of tho floating debt of Portugal. If the negotiations are successfully ac complished before the maturing of the existing debt thcsvndicatc will receive certain privileges. Under the auspices of the Depart, ruent of Agriculture, announces the New York Telegram, an experiment will be made in May to test the feasi bility of drawing rain from a clear sky by the detonations of heavy artillery. All the arguments in advocacy of this gunning for showers are presented in a little volume recently compiled by Mr. Edward Powers, a Wisconsin eir ginecr, who stoutly maintains that rain can be produced at will in the most arid districts. From an ex haustive search of the records of our Civil War and of the Franco-Prussian War he undertakes io prove that every great artillery duel was followed by a drenching storm, and he quotes copi ously from other writers who give sub stantially similar testimony. Mr. Pow er's theory is that there is always a cur rent of aqueous vapor moving high above tho earth. Ilarefying this by concussion, he contends that it would rise to meet a colder current and would promptly be condensed into rain. It is quite possible that the trial projected for May will be made with nitro glycerine automatically exploded from a balloon, instead of gunpowder dis charged from old siege-guns. If the expectations of Mr. Powers arc justi fied, millions of acres of waste and arid lands will speedily be reclaimed ' and made valuable. Then vcrv deli- i cate yet very stringent laws will have to' be enacted, and the artillery or dynamite practice placed under abso ' Into control of the Weather Bureau or some other scientific board of regula- ' linn.

The rage for mock jewels has ex !e uded to bonnets, tfome pretty little -apotcs are being made without towns, and consist of a bandeau of velvet red, blue, yellow, as may be resting on the hair, and a second one shove of gold, btudded with imitation itones. Aii aigrette, either of white Dr to match the velvet, is placed in front. This is au idea imported direct from Paris, where the capote earriog .tie day beyond all other headgear. Sometimes folds of crepe are used in stead of velvet to support the jeweled bandeau. The effect for evening wear, the head-dress resting ou the wavy ha:r now so much worn, is quite liegal, and, where the regal is in place, becoming. Xcw York ftar. I j NOVF.I.T1KS IN FANS. One of the latest novelties in fans nas one side of silken rose petals in he natural hues of the flower and the other of delicate gauze. When this fan is open it seems impossible that it an be closed without hopelessly crush ing the delicately curling petals, but the clever designer has overcome all difficulties, and the "rose fan" maybe brought together like any other with perfect impunity. Another norcliy jas the woodsticks graduated in size and length, exquisitely carved aud delicately outlined in gold and silver, ind placed on the outside of the mate--ial of which the fan is made. Of feather fans, of which there is an .iitinite variety, those of long, full ostrich plumes, set on sticks f liuest polished tortoise shell, or of arefully selected mother-of-pearl of nc shade of color, are the handsomest ind most fashionable. A recent fancy, which is very much like painting tho lily, is that of painting Mowers on the nllito plumes of these fans. The uatcrial most used for these fans is a lelicate silk gauze. This is oftencst mounted on sticks of enameled wood uid is quite plain or ornamented with j inscts of lace or with painted designs, some of which arc the work of eminent utisU. Lace of all kinds, in black, vhitc and ecru, is a favorite material for fans, and buyers can please them selves as to prices in these as in gauze i'ans, as there is the widest opportunity lor choice in this i''-pect. Atlanta .,'oiistitution. TKA ;i)Ws AMI im.MTY. The tea gown has vielded to what I .s known as the art gown, which is merely its predecessor over again in a modified form. It is curious how ilress and demeanor aeeord. The rich irocadc develops at oijce in its wearer i statelinoss which another fabric can icver evolve. The tea gown has always jcen a negligee costume; although tol erated on more or less formal occa sions for a time, its effect was soon noticeable, and society, which after all "cmU i,s fool'8h Wll-V9 ,norc prompt- y than it is credited with doing, soon "row ncd upon it for other than purely ionic occasions. At an "at home'' ast winter a gay girl who had presid ed at the tea samover for two hours jecamea little reckless toward the nd of her service. In proflering a !up of the gentle beverag !o a seeking man she discovered that the sugar bowl was temporarily absent from the tray. "Never mind," she said, gayly, "I'll sweeten it for you,'' and a taper linger stirred lightly ;hc cream and tea together. It is a significant fact that this young woman wore a lea gown, which may account for her sudden relaxation of dignity. At all events the tea gown wanes and the art gown waxes in some quartcis. At many of the receptions held so far this season exquisitely fine cashmeres in delicate hues have been worn by the young women ul the household and those asked to assist. Those are j made in severely simple styles, fitting . snugly to the figure, with half-high throat and sleeves, which is a still further departure from the long-time-permitted lea gown. Chicago News. k TEfT Mll.r.KN.IIii;SS AT AN AfCTIOX. Mrs. Seward Webb, daughter of '.ho late William II. Vandcrbilt, was a regular attendant during the auction) tale of the curios of the late Allen Thorndike Kice in New York city ro cently. She is rather plump and com fort able in appearance and she was ucaled wilh all the gentleness and dc- ferenee that the ownership of $10,000, 000 inspire eveu in an ' auctioneer. Site arrived early on every day of tha ale and adraneed to the front row of teats. Indeed, she went a little fur ther than this, for at each aide of the littl. platform ou which the auctioneer stood were two chairs which partially faced the audience. Here Mrs. Webb arranged herself comfortably, pulled off both of her gloves, loosened her jacket, fisl ed a pencil aud pad out of her pocket and started in to buy at the lowest possible price. She figured and worked along with tho auctioneer in the most businesslike fashion im aginable. If one of the attendants was holding up a piece of drapery so clumsily that tho spectators could not see it to advantage Mrs. Seward Webb would lean forward and hold up one end of the cloth good-naturedly her self. A piece of tapestry with a largo negro on one end and a $10,000,000 heiress on the other naturally sold for a very stiff figure. Mrs. Webb's man ner was essentially English, but she may not have known it. When socie ty women attend au auction sale in 'London the auctioneer does not have easy running by any means. It is a question of business with them from the very outset. They always i-cttlc down for the day. Chicago Post. V ASH ION NOTKS. Long gloves are only worn with sleeves that terminate at the elbow. White kid gloves have replaced those of tan shades for evening toilets, and are worn smooth on the arms. Grecian tea gowns of cashmere, embroidered with a tinsel border. A ball queen chain pendant has small leaf-shaped pieces as oruameuta t:.on. Fancy hairpins of shell are to king the place once more of silver and gilt ones. In Htiropc the latest novelty in fur made up in muffs and boas is the blue bearskin. This is the era of rings; never were they more beautiful, more unique and fascinating than now. The jeweled dog collars arc gener ally mounted on velvet to correspond with the dress, but a darker shade. Violets are also placed in juxtaposi tion with fur, the mingling of winter and spring being somewhat anoma lous. The low bodices of new gowns are iod t He waist line and very bouf- fnut on the shoulders above the short sleeves. Chains and othor ornaments made of the reticulated quar.z- known as "love's arrows" are very odd and pretty. Some "of (he handsome fans have light colored tortoise shell mounts, ornamented with moonstones and dia monds. The deep basques which arc gradu- ! ntli' jifToi.t i my .i mL'ftlut inn in liitnii'i's are said to have been introduced by the women who hunt in England. There is a decided reaction against the heavy mourning formerly worn. Each season the aversion to heavy black crape veils aud draperies in creases. The Stanley hat named in honor of the explorer's wife is round in shape, with a very narrow brim, a round puffed crown, and a single quill feather erect on one siJc. Jacqueminot roses seem also to have caught the popular taste, and nod aggressively from the big hats, nest ling comfortably in the midst of beaver-like pluxcs. Maiden-hair ferns of pale-green vel vet is one of the newest fancies, and arc very pretty upon small black lace bonnets or picture hats of a dark shade of green velvet. Violets appear to be the favorite miliinery blossom, for they peep out from folds of black velvet, yellow gauze or even blue; the blue must, however, be of that very pale greenish tint, or the contrast is abominable. The rich brocades worn by fashion able voting married women have either the simple round bodice and high pulled sleeve', or else they are pointed in front and back, and a deep basque is added by cross seams on the hips. A charming imported model was of cedar colored velvet in toque shape; on each side of the low crown were pale green wings; another stood up right in front und was tied by knots of green velvet, and a bow of ruby studded passementerie. The new woolens designod for Spring wear arc rough, soft goods, of lighter weight than the camel's hairs worn now. Scottish homespun twills in stripes, indistinct checks and mix tures are a noteworthy feature of th. season's, importation. ; T Df Go It. . It was ia a passenger coach on the Delaware and Lackawanna road. A woman who had a- seat alone had a covered basket on the other half of it. Aerota from her was a mother and her boy. the latter about eight years of age. He had been asleep, bat avoke just aa the woman with the basket got com fortably ' seated. For about two min utes he wondered, over the contents, and thea he settled down to the belief that the basket held half a pock of fried cakes. The thought made him hungry, and he whispered to his mother : "Ma! Ma! I want it!" She was leaning against the window, and half asleep, and she made no reply. "I say I want it !" exclaimed the lad. "Yes," Charley," she sleepily replied. "I'm hnngy !" "Yes." "Will she care?" No answer. "I say, will she care ?" "Don't bother mamma now, dear. "But can I get it?" "I I guess so." The owner of the basket was looking ont of the window, 'lhe boy watched her for two o: three minutes, and then carefully slipped out of hia seat to the one in rear of hers. From that point he could reach the basket, and he lost no time. A peg held the cover in place, and he drew it out and carefully pushed his hand under the lid. It was oi.ly fairly in the basket when there was a spit "and a hiss, followed by a wild yell from the boy, and the next instant a thumping big torn cat, which had nearly bitten a finger off, leaped out of the basket upon the boy's head. It stayed long enough to draw blood from half a dozen scratches, and then bound ed to the floor, i an down the aisle, and leaped out of an open window. Tho boy's yells roused the car in an instant; and his mother soon had him in her arms. It took several minutes to ex plain the situation,' aud then the wo man with the basket added: "I was a-takin' that cat up to my sister Mary. So it was my basket the boy wanted, eh ? I heard him teasin', anil teasin', and his mother said he could have it, and I guess to swum he got it, and all there was in it !" Itwratue Gray. Jawson, who is an iiveterate yarn spinner and a bore of the first magni tude, had leen retailing tounfiiind some harrowing story of a woman whose hair had turned gray in a single night. "Fact, I assure you; I knew the party," he concluded. "If you say yon knew the lady in qnestion, I can quite believe your story to be true," commented the friend in a tone wh.'ch made the story-teller feel rather uncomfortable. "Ofleourse I know her," as the testy answer; "aid it's not such an un common occurrence as, you seem to imagine. I knew a man also " "And his hair turned gray, too?" in terrupted the victim. "Well, I don't wonder at it ia the least." This made Jaw son a little sulky, but he speedily became interested when his friend remarked : "Your stDries remind me of a lady I used to know, but she became gray in a single hour in less than au hour, ia fact." "Home terrible shock, I suppose," re marked Jaw Hon. "I daresay it would be," continued the friend; "at anyrate, it happened while she was getting married." "Oh, I understand," said Jawson, sagely: "the man would have another wile alive; it would all be discovered at the eleventh hour; a terrible scene would ensue, aud all that sort of thing." "lou're not within a mile of it, Jaw son," was the unfeeling answer. "This lady I refei- to married a fellow named (i ray, and sue of course, became uray as soon as the knot was tied." r It 0 F K H SIO N A L. DR. C. K. BAGBY.
