BLACK 18 NOT GOOD FORM.
' For some years an entire black evening i
costume has been allowable for unmarried
women. This innovation has always been t
frowned upon by the conservative. And
by their quiet opposition black is again
considered bad form for young girls. To '
certain complexions it is wonderfully becoming,
but these fair maidens will have ^
to confine themselves to light shades for
their evening gowns if they desire to be i
considered fashionable. And who is the
woman who does not prefer to De srynsu- j
ly dressed to being becomingly dressed?

JEWELED HAIRPINS.
There are a great many jeweled hair- 1
pins worn at present by fashionable women.
They are generally of light shell, ?
mounted with gems, unless they are in- 1
tended for a blonde, when a bright gold
hairpin may be selected. The favorite
Stones for these pins ore diamonds, which (
are set in flambeau, fleur-de-lis, sun, star
and other forms in platinum, rather than ]
tn cold, in order to enhance their bril- | (
? n , ?
liancy. Pearls and moonstones are used
Urith fine effect in these pins, but other
(jewels are apt to be lost sight of unless 1
they are surrounded or set in diamonds.
A simple jeweled hairpin may be purchased
far $10, but an ornament on this (
kind, set with fine diamonds, will cost 1
from $25 to $200.?New Tori Tribune. '

THE STATUS OF "WIDOWS. '
Widows, as a privileged class, are .
known only in Europe and America. In
Asia they have a hard time of it. Among 1
I the Hindoos every misfortune is supposed (
jto be the cocsequencc of misdeeds in a
former state of existence, and as the *
jloss of a husband is a great misfortune f
jit is supposed by both the suffeier and 1
|the public that the wife has done some- ?
[thing to deserve the punishment. (
j Her friends and relatives proceed to s
[further the designs of Providence by (
i adding to her woe every possible indignity.
Her head is shaved, she is allowed <
jonly the poorest food and clothes, and is ?
forced to devote her time to menial '
6ervicc3. Even when a sufficient prop- i
ertyinherown right rescues her from <
some of these discomforts, the disgrace I
and obloquy attaching to her position 1
make her lot almost unbearable?Kate \

JEWELS A FEATURE OF FA8HrON9. \
Something akin to the luxury of the 1
Orient is at the present day displayed in '
the fashionable woman's toilet for even- <
ing wear. Not content with the blaze of 1
countless iewels, her very gown is draped ]
|with diaphanous fabrics incrusted with i
imitation brilliants, pearls, turquoises, i
! sapphires, amethysts and the like.
Elwe Bee tells in the Jewelers' Circular
that the dress trimming3 this season are
triumphs in the art of combining needlework
with jewels. These are wonderful |
land difficult to describe. On satin or j
J velvet grounds are flowers of motifs (
I worked in relief and varied with what (
[the French term cabochons, these cabo- |
,'chons being imitation gems and semi- j
; precious stones, uncut. Jewels are in- ]
| deed a marked feature of present fashions; j
jmany of the net trimmings display to- (
jpizes, amethysts, turquoises, imitation
! emeralds, opals?in a word, all kinds of
narr,a intermirpfl xpif.il frftlfL Now that
'it is the correct style to decorate ball
and full dress gowns with embroidery
|and laces cnriched by jewels, a perceptible
increase is noted in the demand for
small but choice colored imitation and
semi-precious stones, as well as tiny rare
.gems. When it comes to ornaments for
I the hair, no gem is considered too rare
or workmanship too finely wrought.
[Jewelers appreciating this fact expend a
large amount of ingenuity in producing
novelties in this line.
REAL AMAZOX9.
; Woman's right to bare arjis is undisputed.
Her desire to bear arms and to
;6houldcr her gun and go soldiering to
jwar with men is not of frequent occurrence,
however. We read of Amazons,
but do not often see them, except those
of the impossible sort who are dreams of
loveliness in Amaaon inarches on the
Iburlesque 6tage. The recent disturbances
in Central America have brought
;to the front a class of patriotic women

as men fight, and they are the women
who should have all the rights men have
jin selecting officials, holding office, or in
'the management of their government.
The following tribute to Salvadorian
[Amazons has been translated from a recent
number of El Mentajero de Salvador:
"Among fte numerous array of veterans
which came to this capital on Sunday,
jwe observed several women, who, shouldering
their guns, with belts girded to
itheir loins, marched, keeping time to
ithe drums, and showing by their bearing
iftnd demeanor as much discipline as the
^bt ,t soldier. It cannot be denied that
Salvador, as far as the defense and
nroapru&tinn nf its nirhts is concerned.
r. ? __a?^ ,
stands among the first nations of America
since frail woman, though strong in
these cases, volunteer willingly to go into
the battlefield, not only to be of use
in lending succor to her wounded husband
or son, who fight for their rights,
but also to her country, by shouldering a
rifle and firing on the enemy cartridges,
which by nature she would fear even to
touch. There, we say, must exist great
love of country, profound patriotism and
great zeal for their liberty and independence
for their fatherland."

Mohammedans Arc Not Savages.
'The Mohammedans, or, as we call

in appearance from the Hindoos as they
ire in religion," say6 a returned missioniry.
"Physically they are a much larger
ind according to western ideals a handsomer
race. In the north, toward the
hills, many of them are six feet tall,
straight aud dignified in bearing. They (
are not nearly so chaste a people as the '
Hindoos, their religion holding up to
them different ideals. Many both of the
Mohammedans &nd Hindoos are refined, ]

' You hear much of the poverty of In- '
dia. It is true. Sixty per cent, of the 1
population never has quite enough to eat. ,
Yet I have never seen in India the pinch- i
ing, degrading poverty I have seen in 3
London and New York. The people of
India are poor because the population is ]
so dense, the methods of production so 1
inadequate, partly due to the existence 1
of caste and because the taxes are so enormous.
But ^with all this poverty the i
mass of. the people find it relatively about i
nc o.a?T7 f.a mnlfp a livincr as nermlfi in 1

average, they do not live as well. But <
quite as dark a picture of life in America

of India. The difference is that our i
own experience and observation relieves
the melancholy of the picture."? Chicago

The Monkey In a Tree.
Here i3 the latest puzzle: I see a monkey
in a tree. He sees me and get3 behind
the trunk of the tree. I start to go
around him and he keeps going around
as I do, keeping the trunk of the tree
between him and me. I reached the
place I started from, with the monkey
still opposite me on the tree. Now,
having been around the tree, have I also

A Boston woman is quoted as saying:
"I tried it on my husband. I had him
for the monkey, and I took a whiskbroom
and went around him, brushing
his clothes. He kept turning around
just {is I did, and when I had been clenr
around I had brushed only one side of
him and one leg of his pantaloons. Now,
all the professors of Harvard University
couldn't convince me that I had been
around that man, neither had the man ]
been around the monkey in the tree." |

lecisions are immutable.
Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe,
nd practice it to be holy. It contains light
o direct, food to support, and comfort to
beer. It is the traveler's lamp, the pil~im'"

lier'B sword, and the Christian's charter.
Jere paradise is restored, heaven ODened,

Christ is its grand subject; onr good its
lesigfi, and the glory of God its end. It
hould fill the memory, rule the heart, and
uide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently,
irayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paralise
of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is
iven for you in life, will be opened at the

THE ANGEL OF LITTLE SACRIFICES.
Have you ever seen her work? Have you
icver, at least, felt her influence? In every
Christian family God has placed the angel
if little sacrifices, trying to remove all toe
horns, to lighten up all the burdens, or
hare all the fatigues. We feel that she is
vith us, because we no longer experience
hat misunderstanding of heretofore, those
leliberatc coldnesses which spoil family life;
iccause we no longer hear those sharp, rude
vords which wound so deeply, and life is
weeter. The angel of little sacrifices has
eceived from heaven the mission of those
ingcls of whom the prophet speaks, who reno
ve the stones from the road lest they
ihnnid hruise the feet of travelers.
There is a place less commodious than anither.
fehe chooses it, saying with a sweet
imile, "IIow comfortuble I am here!" There
s some work to be done, aud she presents
lersclf for it, simply with the joyous manier
of one who tind6 her happiness in so
lointr. How many oversights repaid by this
)ne unknown hand! How many little joys
iroduced for another without her ever havn^
mentioned to anyone the happiness
ivhich they would give her. Does a dispute
irise? She knows how to settle it by a
pleasant word that wounds no one, and falls
jpon the slight disturbance like a ray of
suniigbt upon a cloud.
Should she hear of two hearts cstrauged,
>he lias always new means of reuniting
hem, without their being able to 6how her
my gratitude, so sweet, simple aud natural
s what she docs. But who will tell of the
bor:H tliat have torn her hand, the pain
ier heart has endured? And yet she is
ilways smiling. Have you never seen her at
ivork, the angd of little sacrifices? On earth
die is called a mother, a friend, a sister, a
ivifu. In hep veil she is called a saint.?
From the Fr? nch,
resigning the rudder.
It wa9 a prayer of George Herbert's that
tie might wholly be le i to resign tbe rudder
Df his life to the sacred wdl of God, to be
moved "a* thy love shall swny." How
fiiueh fretting, "how much worry it would
spare us all if we asked our Heavenly Father
iliut lie wou'd cause us to lean uttterly, in
perfect faith, in cheerful, unquestioning
jliedicnee, upon bis will aud wisdom,
whether in life's trivial concerns or in those
shades of darkness from which we recoil in
fear! We can ask him nothing beyond his
power; some of us know the feeling, "In all
tint this 1 coakl say, 'thy will be done;'"
but if we will only tell the story at his feet,
pouring out our hearts before him, we shall
lie able to trust our Father, even to rejoice
in bim, through every changeful pathway.

et poor woman who bad ju?t been told by the
matron of the hosoitai of the incurable nature
of her complaint.

accepted God's will patiently "bo far as her
own pain and dea.h were concerned, but she
couid not bear the thought of her motherlesb
cli Idren. Nobody could induce lier,
she said, as concerned the children, to feel
patient and res gned. It was n prunfnl
scene. The visitor could not remonstrate
with her npon her spirit of impatience and
murmuring, but felt as though she must
weep with her, as she said: "Yours is untold
borrow, beyond my understanding even, but
God knows all about it?God understands.
Will you not tell him just how you fetl?tell
bim what you have told me?all your pain,
anxiety and dread ol leaving your lit:le ones
alone?
"I am going now to tell the leader of our
prayer-meeting about you; tomorrow, from
three to half-past, prayers will arise on your
behalf; wiilyou not at* the same time be on
your knees before God and tell liim aj:?"
The sufferer promised. Next day, relates
the visitor, earnest, pleading supplications
laid her case before God, and what was the
result? The next interview found that
woman as calm as she had been impatient;
Bhe had poured out her own heart in prayer,
and others had prayed for her, and she told
the visitor: "I am just leaving everything
with God?not only whether I live or die,
but each of my little children. Everything
is safe with him; I feel it?1 know it."
Verily, our God is the same now as in past

Guiuea-Pifcs.
The Secretary of the Selborn Society,
of England, an association of lovers of
wild nature, has lately -written an account
of the guinea-pig. This creature,
the writer says, stanis absolutely alone,
from one point of view. Do what you
will, it is impossible to make a friend of
dim.
Titmice, robbins, squirrels,wild ducks,
cuckoos, even rats and mice have been
found amenable to kindness. Even
Roman snails, Egyptian beetles and butterflies
have been taught to recognize
rVifir mooters and show a friendly inter
est in them; and the snake has his likes
and dislikes, his sympathies and his
hatreds.
A common field snake grew so fond of
the writer of the article referred to?a
lady?that it would glide in through the
window of her drawing-room, coil itself
around her dress, and, so far from objecting
to be stroked and handled,
would, each time that it was taken out
and placed on the lawn, return to the
drawing-room and submit to the same
operation.
It was far otherwise with Fluff, the
guinea-pig. He was simply stupidly
harmless. "The guinea-pig," this friend
of all animals writes, "is the only instance
of an animal I have ever known that
seemed to be literally without a single
habit, apparently without affection, without
a temper good or bad, and with no
wishes or desires except to be let alone
to doze away his aimless life."
The guinea-pig is an absurd little animal
for a number of reasons, and one of
the most remarkable absurdities about
him ic hia name. He is not a pig of any
kind, nor any relation to the pig, and he
has nothing to do with Guinea. He is a
kind of rat,and his native home is South
America.
"Why he sht uld have been called a
"pig" no one knows, unless it was on account
of the slight grunting noi3e that
he makes; and the word "guinea" in his
case may be a corruption of Guiana,
where the animal has sometimes been
found, though it was first brought from
Brazil. ~
His real name is the "cavy," an3~i>ythat
he should be called. In his wild
state he is quite differently colored from
the domesticated animal, and lacks the
spotting of white, black and tawny color
which the tamed cavy often has.
It used to be commonly supposed mai
the guinea-pig drove away ordinary rats,
or either caused them to go away on account
of their extreme dislike of him;
but even this negative merit is denied to
the poor little animal. No one, however,
is able to deny his gentleness and submissiveness.?Youth?8

What Made Sitting Ball a Fighter.
"I heard more or less of Sitting Bull's
history while I was at Fort Buford," said
Mr. Nugent. "For several years he
lived at Fort Rice on the Missouri River,
and was known as a 'blanket Indian,' a
term used among Indians to designate
scorn or derision, and is sometimes ap- |
plied to Indians who 'hang around' mili- I
tary posts and wear red or white blankets '
such as they may obtain instead of the i
buffalo robe, which is the badge of an j
Indian's manhood and physical prowess.
One day, in a heat of passion, he was ,
struck by a soldier, lor wxiai cause ji uus ;
never been known. But with that blow
his nature changed. It was followed by
a long list of heroic and desperate encounters,
led or prompted by him, which
evidently shaped the Indian policy of the ;
Government of the United States, and 1
caused the loss of Custer and his party.
With that blow were aroused the spirit i
and passions of a savage soul which up to J
that time had lain dormant. Flying to
the plains of the lands of the Dakotas he j
organized the forces of the whole Sioux j
nation, and the dissatsfied tribes, which ;
up to a recent date, waged wars con- j
tinuallj against the Government with so
much disaster. Bitting Bull stands pre- I
eminent as the bravest and most skilful .
Indian general. His eloquence and logic
were none the less great than his ability I
as a skilful warrior. His impassioned |
manner could arouse his warlike braves ;
to impetuous courage."?New York Pros.
Heut and Growth of the Hair.
It is generally understood that the hair {
and nails grow faster in hot weather than
in cold, but perhaps few are aware that
any temperature can impart so great a
stimulus to the growth as Colonel Pejevalsky,
the Russian traveler, says the
Central Asian heat did during his jcurney
in those regions in the summer of
1889. In June, the ground and the air
became excessively hot, so great, indeed,
as to render travel in the daytime impossible.
Within a fortnight after this oppressive
weather began it was noticed
that the hair aud beards of all the party
were growing with astonishing rapidity,
and, strangest of all. some youthful Cossacks.
whose faces were perfectly smooth,
developed respectable beards within the
short period of twenty days.?Brooklyn

A Great Dam Built by Convicts.
The great dam across Alcvon River,
just above Folsoin Prison, in California,
has been completed. The work has consumed
two years, and was done almost
wholly by convicts. The completion of
this work marks an important era in the
industrial wof;ress of Sacramento. The
enormous water power that will be utilized
will generate electricity that can be
transmitted for power and lighting purposes
to Sacramento, and a revolution is
manufacturing methods will follow.Neu>

ixist upon nothing his Bufferings are,
perhaps, more acute than in the remain- <
.ng stages; he feels an inordinate, un- j
ipeakable craving at the stomach night ]
ind day. The mind runs upon beef and
sther substances, but still in a great 1
measure the body retains its strength.
On the third and fourth days, but es- 1
pccially on the fourth, this incessant !
graving gives place to a sinking and
weakness of the stomach, accompanied by (
aausea. The unfortunate sufferer still
desires food, but with a loss of strength ,
lie loses that eager craving which is felt
in the earlier stages. Should he chance
to obtain a morsel or two of food he
swallows it with wolfish avidity, but five
minutes afterward his sufferings are more
intense than ever. He feels as if he had
swallowed alive lobster, which is clawing
and feeding upon the very foundation
of his existence.
On the fifth day his cheeks suddenly
appear hollow and sunken, hi? body attenuated
; his color is ashy pale and his
eyes wild, glassy and cannibal like. The
different parts of the system now war
with each other. The stomach calls upon
the legs to go in quest of food; the legs,
from weakness, refuse.
The sixth day brings with it increased

are lost in an overpowering languor and
sickness. Thciead becomes giddy; the
ghosts of well remembered dinners pass
in hideous procession through the mind.
The seventh day comes, bringing increased
lassitude and further prostration
of strength. The arms hang lifelessly;
the legs drag heavily; the desire for food
is still left to a degree, but it must be
brought, not sought.
The miserable remnant of life which
still hangs to the sufferer is a burden almost
too grievous to be borne, yet this
inherent love of existence induces a desire
still to preserve it if it can be saved
without a tax on bodily exertion. Tho
mind wanders. At one moment he thinks
his wearied limbs cannot sustain him a
mile; the next he is endowed with natural
strength,- and if there be a certainty of

A Boiling Lake.
There is a lake of boiling water in the
Island of Dominica,lying in the mountains
behind Roseau, and in the valleys surrounding
it are many solataras,or volcanic
6ulphur vents. In fact the boiling lake
is little better than a crater filled with
scalding water constantly fed by mountain
streams, and through which the
pentup gases find vent and are rejected.
The temperature of the water on the
margin of the lake ranges from 180 degrees
to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. In the
middle, exactly over the gas vents, it is
believed to be about 300 degrees. Where
*t.:? tnL-oo nlopo t.hn wntfir is said
bUld ai/kll/lf W?r*v/o ..w? ?
to rise two, three, or even four feet above
the general surface level of the lake, the
cono often dividing so that the orifices
through which the gas escapes are legion
in number.
This violent disturbance over the gas
jets causes a violent action over the whole
surface of the lake, and though the cones
appear to be special vents, the sulphurous
vapors rise with equal density over
its whole surface. Contrary to what one
would suppose, there seems to be in no J
case violent action of the escaping gases, j
such as explosions 01 detonations.
The water is of a dark-gray color, and
having been boiled over and ever foi
thousand of years, has become thick and
slimy with sulphur. As the inlets to the
lake are rapidly closing it is believed
that it will assume the character of a gey
ser or sulphurous crater.?New York Journal.

in time, and "hold up" your hands for
