WOMAN'S WORLD. PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR FEMININE READERS. MODES IN HAIRDRESSING. There have been many changes in the methods of coiffures. Tiie hairdressers have taken an excursion trip back to the Seventeenth century, and are showing favor to tbe high pulls and ornamentation by use of flowers, velvet bands and knots of ribbons.?New York Recorder. TIIE FAVORITE STONE. Turquoises are the most fashionable stones of the day. For hair ornaments they are intermixed with diamonds, and half a dozen little pins go with each hair ornament. The ornament and the six little pins which are intended to be fastened in the neck trimmings are called a "set," and the entire lot, laid in a case of white velvet, make as pretty a present as one may wish to give.?2few Fork World. HOW DO WOMEN SLEEP? A German physician answers the above t query as loilows: "ine iact is women require a larger amount of sleep than men. The nervous excitability of the female constitution is generally, greater than is the case with the stronger sex and a woman's sleep is consequently lighter. Her dreams are more vivid and leave a more lasting impression on the memory. "Women addicted to dreaming usually Bleep an hour longer than those who do not dream, for dreams induce weariness. Any one who sleeps without dreaming rises on the morrow refieshed from his couch, which is otherwise not the case." ?-JVifta York Mercury. SLEEVES PRETTY THIS TEAB. Sleeves are fo pretty this year. All the full, high effects at the shoulder are passe, and we can speed their going, for the majority of women look like turtles with their heads poked up out of their shells. Now they are cut with an equal amount of fullness. In fact, some are enormous, but it all droops in soft folds down over the arm, the pattern in reality being an exaggerated mutton leg. Sleeves of very thin materials are cut half as large again as the lining, or if they are unlined, are wrinkled on the arm like a mousquetaire glove, and come far down over the hand, finishing some times in a soft fall ruffle, in which case, when it falls as far as the knuckles, no , glove should be worn. The newest sleeve of braided or embroidered gowns ^ is a tight sleeve, reaching half way above the elbow and finishing at the top with & very full puff of the material, ^vhioh 3 must be wide enough to fall almost to the elbow. This is good style for India ' silks trimmed with lace.?Chicago Herald. marie Antoinette's slipper. 1 In an old French household in New Tork the most carefully cherished heir- ( loom is a slipper which was worn by Marie Antoinette in the last days before the French Revolution. It was one of the precious relics in the baggage of a court lady who fled with her husband to 1 Louisiana when the storm broke. She left the tiny, blue, faded slipper to her I daughter, with the injunction that it should go down in the family, to the e eldest daughter, if she never allowed herself to have corns. It is a pretty ? slipper, and has been carefully kept in the jewel case of one Frenchwomen after another, so that it is perfectly preserved. It is short, very narrow and ery high heeled, cud is a brocaded c blue, lined with soft white silk. The sole is of coarse grained leather, and t xnree satin 6traps over tne instep iastenea with a paste buckle. The pointed toe is f embroidered with silver threads, and y the edges are bound with silver braid. The condition regarding its inheritance t has always been strictly regarded. The women of the house have taken great care of their feet that they might rightfully claim the unhappy Queen's slipper, ' and for a hundred years there has not * been a pinching shoe worn in the family. ?rSew York Press. I z COMBRSIXS COLOKS IK DRESS. The St. Louis Globe-DemocraVs New c York letter says: A well known designer \ of women's gowns says' "It requires an artist to render women's clothing deco- i xative, and a male artist at that. Few g women know how to anply colors in T dress, and I have seen cultured dames right here in New York society wear the most ridiculous combination of colors, j There isn't one woman in u hundred who j. knows how to harmonize pronounced colors with effect. They always treat color3 as distinct features of dress, and s the ruling passion is not so much to make 1 a harmonious bleudingas it is" to secure c pronounced evidence of the presence in a T gown of fashionable color. A man looks at a color in a landscape. lis doesn't try J to introduce a color that renders a wo- f men a caricature as women themselves i dc. For instance; a man in designing a ^ gown consults me peculiarities ai a woman's face and figure, the color of her \ hair and eyes, her complexion, h^r social a status, etc. A gown with pronounced red features doesn't look well on a woman whose eyes and hair arc brown, and whose face is traced with red veins. The reason why men have been great successes as modistes and designers is because they tell a woman what suits her. The ordinary woman dressmaker never does. She takes any material brought her, and the aborbing question is to style, Dot adaptability. The shape of a woman's nose has just as much to do with the Btyle of dress best suited to her as has the length of her waist. If the nose is strongly characteristic the dress may be the same, but a woman with a pug nose commits a crime v. hen she wear3 anything but black or white. There ought, also, to-be a law against a woman with brown hair wearing a greea dress, or, in fact, anything green about her person. 4Cold colors,' and by that term I mean decided hues, green, yellow, red and pink, go with strong individualities of face and figure. The most ludicrous spectacle in the world is to see a poor little weazened woman of forty try to wear pink on *,he street. The pink age ends < at twenty-seven, the blue at thirty-two, the red at thirty-five, yellow (in the evening) at forty-one, combinations including any of these colors at forty-three, and black and white with death. A woman under twenty-seven can wear any color combination she want3, and she usually does. \ WARM-WJCATHER DRESSES. wIt is, indeed, a stupid and ijdolent t I woman who cannot have dainty, pretty [dresses this season!" exclaimed a young woman, vrho was just putting the last stitches into a delicate organdy. "Just think of it, here is this dress: it took fourteen yards of goods and I have spent two days' time on it, and it is pretty enough to wear anywhere. Ihave just finished a black orgaudy, and it is a beauty. The skirt is made with five straight widths and a deep hem. Above the hem is a ruffle sixteen inchcs deep with a hem three-fourths of an inch wide and a shirred standing heading. The waist i3 made with tucks in form of a yoke, and the lower part of the waist gathered into the rouud belt. The sleeves are very full at the shoulders, and as close to the lower arm as is comfortable. The collar and the front are trimmed with a finger-wide plaiting of the goods, set on in jabot fashion. I wear, with this dress, a very long sash, made of a full width of black India silk, tied in a very long loose bow at the back. I don't like stumpy bows; they give one a bumpbacked effect. "There are lovely new fabrics in cotton, the most delicate 'see-through' muslins; and there is a charming material something like the old-fashioned barege, made up with ruffles bound with silk or ribbon. Such dresses are exceedingly pretty, and are useful for home or watering-place wear, for morning, or informal days. "India 6ilk dresses are made with demi-train, trimmed with laoe ruffles,, either set on plain, or draped in festoons,': or following a scalloped or pointed pat-' tern. ' 'A number of prdtty costumes have been made with princess bodies, with thtf sides draped in panier fashion. One; model ha3 narrow fronts, draped over, the side sections, and with the ends left' long enough to tie in a very large sashbow, with ends falling almost to the hem, of the skirt. Sash-ends with lace or; fringe are pretty, and ono slender figure has a very long, wide-sash drapery, with! one edge elaborately trimmed with lace. This sash is drawn around the waist, the lace-trimmed edge falling over the skirt of the dress. The ends are tied in a loose knot, and cover a large portion of the back of the dress. A shoulder drapery in similar fashion is knotted at the front, the ends falling below the waist-line."?' The Ledger. FASHION KOUE9. Bluette is tbe latest shade of blae. Vests of corduroy are worn with striped cheviot suits. The corslet bodice is in favor for bouse dresses. Chevron designs a?e noted in the latest imported silks. ; A new combination is pale olive green' j vrith dark olive. The close-fitting beil skirt is unco intertable for tennis. Silk gloves are bought out with treble tips for the samtner. A thick royale ribbon has velvet edges divided by gilt cords. The handsomest parasols are supplied, with ribs of solid silver. The coat-tails of basques are shorter ;han those of last season. The hat of the hour has a lace straw )rim and a chiffron crown. Black velvet ribbon having a goldi :dge ani stripes is announced. White is worn constantly with green >r blue sleeves and deep belts. Round or slightly oval brooches awaking the place of the long lace pins. Chenille spot tulle, in various colors, :omes in dress lengths for evening wear. Undulating hair-lines make aew cross >ars in two or three shades on a fourth. The brown shades to be worn in the all look remarkably well in silk and velvet. To wear at the sea-shore you want a hia, s5.1ver-giay homespun, flecked with vhite. Elastic belts of silver wire have square >uckles in front studded with amehysts. The linen collar is now very wide and las a narrow turned-over edge all iround. Gray, black and tan suede ties are frejuently tipped with silver and finished vith narrow bands of the same. If you put a collar, girdle and cuffs of >lack velvet to your light gingham jown, have them easily detachable and lot heavy enough to be hot looking. VlCaUi-^IUUUUUUj uu wu " vi uuaugvA raist-coats are just now the height of ashion, and hats are flat plates with leavy wreaths of roscj beneath the brim. Black satin royale?better known as atin dc Lyon?is this season called ipon to furnish some of the haudsomest :ostumes to be seen in the fashionable vorld. The shirred mail hat should be white, >ink or blue. If it is trimmed with luffy rosettes of the mull, when it wilt3 n a fog or sea turn it and it will do so vith the more uniformity. Londoners are wearing Oriental shoes vith four straps buckling on the instep ind Grecian slippers in velvet calf and ootgear of Swiss prunella in gray or awn finely embroidered. The simple gown of whfte is almost i thing of the past. Even the dresses n this pure tone whet made of the ichest material are hardly considerod Inished unless lavishly deoorated. It is the thing to trim cotton dresses vith black lace, arranged as a narrow lounce across the hem in front and j&ught up in feitoons. The sleeves and he front of the bodioe are cohered with )lack lace also. A shy damsel of sweet sixteen is a picture in a gown of white Berge, which s made as close fitting as a riding habit, he bottom of the 6kirt, the corsage and he sleeves being edged with three rows >f delicate silver galloon. Duck's-foot yellow is the odd nan? of he newest and oddest sh&de in glove3. ;t is worn with gray gowus. Duck's-e^g jroen is another new shade, the London aste at the moment running to ducks exjeedingly. Pale heliotrope, pale pink md lemon are worn with evening jowns. The most exquisite white parasote, and irobably the mo3t costly in New York 2ity, have a landscape and flower-spray n white thread lacs inserted on one side if the white srlk foundation. Others less costly have smaller insertions of real lace. The summer parasol is known by its bow of silk or lace near the handle, while the handle of the white silk and lace parasol is carved ivory, and others aave large Dresden balls. _ ?

Schools for the Blind. The statistics recently issued by the Census Department on the various details of public education in this country contain no more interesting data than when the inquiry has proceeded on comparatively unknown lines. The data on schools for the blind are a ca3e in point. According to a series of tables just made public it would appear that while the average amount spent in this form of education in 1840 to 1850 was $268 per pupil, the better facilities afforded in the decade just closed brought the cost up to $288. The number of schools shows j OQQl a L?rubiijriu? iuti"c?ac, wuc utiu^ h%hj\. reporting to the department. While it must be born in mind that the apparent increase in the decade is due to some extent to the increased facilities for the reception and education of the blind in the schools provided for this purpose, it is none the less true that public spirit aud benevolence has largely been at work in impressing upon these unfortunates the need of a better equipment for life. The advances made in this respect in the United States compare favorably with those of the older communities across the water, if, indeed, they may not to-day be said to be the model for universal emulation.?St. Louis Star-Sayings. The Hippocratic Oath. Proofreader (New York, N. Y.) writes: "In describing the closing exercises of a college of medicine, a morning pap&r recently stated that the Presi- < dent of the college administered the Hippocratic oath to the young graduating physicians. What is the 'Hippocratic oath?' " Answer: The Hippocratic oath was an engagement made in classic times between young men entering into tbe practice of medicine. The formula was ascribed to Hippocrates, "tbe Father of Medicine," and opened with: "I swear by Apollo, the physician, by J3sculapius, by Hvgeia, Panacea, aud all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this oath: to reckon him who teaches me this art equally deat to me with my parents; to share my substance with him and relieve hi3 necessities, if required; to look upon his offspring upon tbe same footing as iny own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they shall learn it, without fee or stipulation." It proceeds with the laying down of an exalted code of medical ethi?a. The oath administered in the case you mention we judge was Bome modification of the original and supported a lofty standard of medical honor.?2V<flo York Ledger. _ HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.

Even if they are built in the house, they are often so unfinished or damp as to be quite useless for linen. Our illustration is one that could be made and kept in the family for all time. Four feet high is a good height, with the top finished fiat, so as to be used if needed. Each shelf has its own arrangement for the various articles. Napkins can be kept in piles, each particular dozen by itself; table-cloths, sheets and pillowcases laid as they will be needed. System in housekeeping Bavea much care and trouble. Upon one door should hang a slate and pencil, to note what is removed; on the other door can be placed a list of the contents and tbeir locality, so that any one could find what was needed, even in a case of emergency.

IOO Doses One Dollar Triyial Causes of War Among the curiosities of history oft-recurring fact that many of the great wars of the past have been indirectly brought about by triflng circumstances.

The lady and her mother escaped to Venice, and the Sultan sent an official after them to bring them back to Constantinople. The Venetian Repullic "was at first willing to comply -with the Sultan's request, but the ladies succeeded in making their escape to Ferrara, and from thence to Lyons, in Fiance. The Porte complained that the Venetian Republic had not used , due diligence, and ultimately a terrible 3 war broke out over this trivial circum- ? 6tanco. A. contemporary historian says: "The agent of the Venetian Government at Constantinople informed the council that the reason of the dispatch of the 1 Turkish Envoy to Venice was, to require * on the part of tbe Grand Signeur, that a i Spanish lady, named Mendez, with her ] daughters, should be delivered up to the J Envoy, and by him brought to Constan- < tinople. The common rumor was, that i the Lady Mendez bad promised to marry \ one of her daughters to the son of a man < named Rodriguez, doctor to the Grand Signeur. The lady, however, changed ? her mind, and fied with her daughters to . Ferrara, where they remained under the protection of the Duke for some time. It is now said that they have gone from Ferrara to Lyons in order to reabze funds ] invested there by the late husband of the Lady Mendz. The emissary of the ' Grand Signeur was by no means coutent ] with the loss of his prey, and there was j trouble in consequence.0 This informa- < tion is contained in a letter written from ' Venice in July, 1549, by M. Morvillier to Henry II. of France, the object being < to induce the King to use his authority . for the purpose of sending the Lady I Mendez and her daughter to Constants nople.
