A SHAWL-riN AS A SPOON. No matter how ragged and dirty an | Indian woman of Bolivia may be, she , takes great pride in the topa or pin that holds her 6hawl together. It is of sil-' ver, brass, or copper, five or six inches I long, the head always shaped like a j spoon, and she uses it for feeding htr ! child and sometimes herself. In the j Inca days the head of the topa was round to represent the sun, which they worshiped, but the Spaniards desiring to do away entirely with that religioa, passed a law forbidding their use unless the head were shaped like a spoon.? m2few York Journal.

The triple cape with its stylish high shoulders and smart jueaici conar is hlnslicu ?hu u luciui clasp in the form of a French shield and fleur de lis. The new jackets are all in Medici style, shaped longer in front than ^ at the back. They are usually doublebreasted, with large buttons, fitted close to the figure at the back, and finished , with "patch pockets'' in front near the buttons. The collars of all jackets arc extremely high?so high at the backs as 1 to require Piccadilly tips or rounded corners to make them comfortable in front. FOK WASHING THE FACE. 1 Sir Erasmus Wilson, the celebrated authority on skin diseases,gives these di- 1 rections for washing the face: Fill your ( basin about two-thirds full of fresh water, dip your face in the water, then ] your hands. Soap the hands well and j pass them with gentle friction over the whole face. Then dip the face in the < water a second time and rinse it thor- j onghlv. A second basin ready with fresh water is a valuable addition. The wrong ways are using the towel, sponge or flan- 1 el as a means of conveying the soap to the face and omitting the rinsing at conclusion. Then as regards drying the ^ face, a moderately thick and soft towel * should be used. A very rough one is not desirable nor one of thick texture. Rain or distilled water, owing to thoir purity and freshness, are best for washing. FASHIONS EN BONNETS. Bonnets are made of a Grecian band of small flowers, a bow of velvet and an upright tuft at the back; a roll of figured muslin with a bow in front, a smaller roll set as a comb and the two tied together by narrow velvet strings emanating from a bunch of flowers, straight on end; fc a large black jet butterfly hovering over " the highly-dressed hair of the wearer, emerging from the roll of black lace encircling the head, or a tuft of several kinds of flowers tied with a bow of velvet, represent the fashionable bonnets of the day. And the hat and bonnet pins I An oar, a paint brush in metal, an enamel ball studded with small diamonds, a half coronet of jet cr crystals in tortoise shell, are a few of the last specimens, to say nothing of the formidable comblets, high and protruding, that keep the frail structures of millinery on the heads of their owners, and the long, daggershaped pins of shell or metal, that might Krnnmo rroonnna in cnmA liflnria.?. TVjw/i York World. DIPBOVEMENTS Hi WAISTS. The useful and comfortable blouse waist and its kindred jersey bodice are such useful articles of wear that their , reign is likely to be prolonged indefinitely. Season after season we see new improvements made in both of these waists. 1 Among the novelties are silk blouses ' made in tartan or Persian stripes. Blouses 1 of this kind worn above black skirts of Bilk or wool make bright and pretty i house toilets for these dull days. The ' blouses are rather full, but do not spread < like the old variety, and a fringed ruche carried around the collar and down the < front makes a becoming finish. The new i silk blouse, unlike its cambric compeer, is not to be tucked inside the skirt-band. The straight belt-band secured by a , buckle is brought to a point, and fastened there some inches below the waist. A j A popular silk plaid for a blouse shows a r mixture of black and green in shaded tones, with a line of gold or red between. 1 ?New York Post. THE OLDEST SWITCHWOSIAS. For forty long years Sire. Mary Carroll has been the switchwoman at the Central railroad junction in Macon, Ga., where several different railroad tracks meet. During this time she has always been faithful and efficient. She has never been the cause of an accident. 1 Her tracks have always been set right. Her duties have been responsible, but the road has never incurred a dollar of breakage, a moment of delay, or the in- : jury of a person on her account. She is, perhaps, the oldest and only switchwoman in the United States. There are hundreds of people who will recall seeing her ia the littie switchhousc at the junction. one mile from town. After 60 excellent a record and so many years of capital service, in sunshine acd storm, in cold and heat, the Central road has placed her iu a less irksome position. She has been made gatekeeper at the shed o" the road iu that city.? Atlanta Comtituiion. CT7RIOU3 OLD FASIII0X3. About 1775, says Harpers Bazar, the pomposity oi leatnerea neaa-uresses i reached its climax; a high-bom dame appeared at a "drawing-room reception" flaunting above her head an ostrich plume over four feet in length. Because she was fashion's queen it became tho L rage, and, as in earlier periods, Indie* F suddenly grew bo tall that entrance j through doorways of customary height ' was impossible. Though imperial edict iorbade feathers at court, the absurd 1 style remained in vogue until the extravagance was caricatured by the bravo entrance of a lady wearing headgear not less than a yard in width; this accom- , plished the desired result" Not macy years after, the "topknot' style attracted attention; this develope< into -what one authority describes as "i higgledy-piggledy tuft, frizzed at th ends, and kept in position by a ribboi cut circularlybeyond this, some added with striking effect, a paroquet with ex tended wings and tail.

These different styles were designated as the "horned head dress, the steeple, the butterfly, the span iel's ears." Just here may be inserted an extracl from a letter written by Hannah More in 1777, touching the-point in hand?a writer as remarkable for truthfulness ol expression as for learning,position in society and modesty in dress: "The other night we had a great deal of company?eleven damsels, to saj nothing of men. I protest I hardly dc them justice when I pronounce that thej had among them, on their heads, an acn and a half of shrubbery, besides slopes, grass plots, tulip beds, clumps of peonies, kitchen gardens and green houses." Beyond this we have descriptive lines by a writer of the period: Give Chloe a bushel of horsehair and wool, Of paste and pomatum a pound, Ten yards of gay ribbon to deck her sweet skull, And gauzo to encompass it round. FASHION NOTES. The snake pattern in rings comes in a variety of shapes. Light colors are still in great faror, ind black is gaining prominence in contrast. Gray is to be well worn this winter in combination with soft yellow and gold braid. A two-inch band of velvet is a new, simple and pretty finish for the bottom )f the skirt. Mechlin lace is used for trimming costly ingerie, to which its fine delicate mesh s well adapted. The newest and most unique idea of a ireesiug gown is a monk's robe with a inotted rope girdle. Cotton and muslin balaveuses are to be eplaced by silk or a thick colored zephyr anbroidered in white. News comes from London that one and :wo buttoned gloves take precedence of :hose with longer wrists. All women wear tightly clinging gowns md bcdice3 that mould the figure. Few women look well in them. New lace-trimmed handkerchiefs have juarter-inch hems, and are edged with nch-wide Valenciennes lace. Silk cellular in many pretty shades will be brought out as a material foi women's dresses next season. The printed woolens and figured silks ;o nnnular this summer will continue to oe used through the autumn. There is a fad for monogram and crest ings. Any one can have the former, but much humbug goes with the latter. Chinese and Japanese articles and ma:erials for house dccorating are to be nore extensively used next season than ;ver. Some of the newly-imported sleeveless Dnental jackets, embroidered in silver, ire handsome enough for ugly girls tc wear. Lovely woman is ruffed to her ear lobes in Wile, crepon and crepe lisse. She looks as snug and warm as a puffed robin. Belt buckles of silver now assume the form of crescents, and where the points meet they are finished off with little silver knobs.

Designers of dresses have been utiliz ing the kitchen garden of late, and w< have tomato red, lettuce green and mush room color. Turquoise and jet is the latest fashion able combination. Bodices and the fronts of skirts are frequently embroid cred with them. Some of the winter gowns of silk anc and lace will have for trimming passe menteries and embroideries studded witt turquoises and Rhine stone3. Among the most popular wedding presents are vinaigrettes, with large dull gold tops, bearing the bride's monogram 3et in diamonds and rubies. "Woolen muslins are taking the place of the organdies. Some resemble Nottingham lace, other3 are striped or plaideJ. All are stylish and durable. The new make of shirt is more ladylike than the stiff mannish front, aud is arranged all over with small inch-widc uox pleats drawn 111 at tnc waist, ueneat:: a belt. Lace fichus are now arranged in a ne^ fashion. The point ornaments the fronl of the throat and the ends are carricd down the back, their edges meeting alona the middle. Corselets are made in Swiss bell fashion, with slight points below the waist, and much longer points rising on the chest in frout and between the shoulders in the back. If the Medici collar seems to have grown too common, have one cut much smaller than those usually worn, call it ;i "cherusque," and it will impress the world as something new. A smart leather cap perched on the head, a pair of field glasses s'.ung over the shoulder, a tall aspen stick in one hand and a six-inch satchel in the othei is the latest make-up of the photograph loving maiden. Dress materials that solJ as high aSi.70, may be bought now for less tharj half that amount. There are sever: designs and quiet pattern? in every lino, and these are the styles that withstand the fluctuations of fashion. Caiio embroideries are novel ar.:l baautiful, and promise to be largely ued on winter dresses, oa vests, ends, pockets and seuorita jackets.

One of the most promising schemes by which a fortune was not made was that of an inventor of much mechanical genius, who got up a plau for getting the gold out of the Georgia rivers. Most ofthe streams which flow from the gold districts of Georgia have "color" in their sands, but not always in paying quantities. This mun, says the Olobe-Democrat, of St. Louis, proposed to build a boat 150 feet long, and have a sluice running all the way round it, thus giving a sluice length of 300 feet. Then, by a steamshovel arrangement, he intended to scrape up the sand out of the bottom of the river and drop it in the sluice, through which a stream of water would i always be running. The gold would collect in the bottom, as in any other sluice, and at intervals there would be a "cleaning up," which he expected would be highly profitable. As soon as one locality was exhausted the boat would move on to another, and, to use a common expression, he thought there were millions in it. The scheme wa3 never tried, for before he was ready to put it into operation he found an opening in Colorado and went out there, but ! a great many people in Georgia believed it to be perfectly practicable, and regretted that the experiment was not made.

What may strike the average citizen as a curious law went into effect recent ly. It is chapter forty-one of the Session laws of 1890, entiled "an act for the prevention of blindness." It provides as follows: Section 1. Should any midwife or nurse having charge of an infant in this State notice that one or both eyes are much inflamed or reddened at any time within two weeks after its birth, it shall be the duty of such midwife or nurse 60 having charge ot such infunt to report the fact in writing within six hours to the Health Officer or some legally qualified practitioner of medicine of the city, town or district in which the parents reside. Sec. 2. Any failure to comply with the provisions of this act shall be punished by a fine not to exceed 8100, or imprisonment not to exceed six months, or both. Sec. 3. That this act shall take effect on the 1st day of September, 1890. An Express man asked Health Officer Balch to explain the law, but he only said that it was to prevent blindness. If the rending was not clear that was the jauu 01 me lawmaisers. tie saiu no eases had been brought to his attention yet. When he learns of ODe probably^ Dr. Balch wiil endeavor to find out what his duties are in the premises. Redness of the eyes, perhaps, may mean granulation of the lids, which needs attention, but whatever it may mean it is apparently a duty hereafter to make a grand hustle to notify the Health Officer or some physician the moment that a very young infant's eyes may become red. What the duties of the man to whom the information is brought may be he will have to guess, as the law is silent on that point.?Albany {N. Y.) Express. IIow Cetywayo Became KiuK.

The nation was immediately thrown into intense excitement.
