THE COMING GLOVE.
There is a ntw idea for fastening the
glove on the market thi9 year. It is
called the "tirette" and consists of a
small cord, which runs through a couple
of eyelet holes and fastens under a gilt
clasp, and when drawn up it gives the
hand that neat look anything snug about
the wrist is sure to impart. Some of the
new glove9 have embroidered wrists in
the old time elaborate fashion of embroideriog
on leather. The new gray
gants de suede have more of a greenish
shade than those which have been worn
all winter. Tan ecru gloves are quite
passe.?Chicago Herald.
THE "TILTER" HATS.
A line of hats that may be called the
"tilters" are specially graceful. The
crowns belong to one variety or another,
just as it happens, and the brims tilt
down one side and up the other, or down

all at once on all sides, always going the
right way, no matter which way they go,
and always sure to be the prettiest hats
that their wearers ever bad. The Tam
crown is favorite in these, and also the
bell crown. Sometimes the edge of the
brim is turned up, like the sailor brim
described, though rolling more; never
higher than half an inch, the little roll
makes a pretty finish. Chip is' the material
most easily worked into these
shapes.?New York Times.
HEROIC WATS OF RAISING A FCND.
The Library Association of Otsego,
Mich., needs money. The usual means
of extorting subscriptions having been
exhausted, forty women agreed to earn
money by individual efforts, and they
rightly argued that the more they attracted
attention the better. The results
have surpassed expectation. Mrs.
fN. M. Mills peddled doughnuts iff the
street. Mrs. Edsall, the banker's wife,
washed windows at twenty cents each.
^Irs. George Euston dressed as a bootblack
and had a stand on a street corner.
Mrs. L. D. Williams peddled corn salve.
Miss Maggie Smith went about as a
street beggar, and Mrs. Frank Lindsay
and Mrs. C. E. Drew, with a hand-organ
and a monkey, captured all the loose
change that was left in the town.?New

WOMEN AB BANK TREASURERS.
Miss Sarah C. Clark ha9 been Treasurer
of a savings bank in Exeter, N. H., since
1883, and only the other day was selected
for the tenth year of her service in that
office. She began working in the bank
as a clerk, and her advancement was due
wholly to her industry and competency
to discharge the labors assigned her.
Miss Clark is under bonds to the amount
of $45,000 for the faithful performance
of her duties, the same security being
exacted of her that a man would be required
to furnish. UBder her management
the business of the bank has largely
increased, and her cood judgment in the
placing ot loans has caused her to be
made a member of the investment com*
pany. The assets of the bank are now
over $500,000, while the deposits are increasing
$50,000 annually.
New Hampshire has three women
treasurers of savings banks. Miss J.
Grace Alexander has been Treasurer of
the Security Savings Bank, of Winchester,
since its organization in 1881. The
assets of the bank are $280,000. Miss
Cora A. Wells was recently elected
Treasurer of the savings bank at Hinsdale.?Brooklyn

THE "RAINT-DAY C08TCME."
Attempts have been made to popular
lze in America tne "rainy-aay costume
worn by some of the most exclusive
leaders of fashion both in Paris and London.
Unlike many of the costumes of
the "reform" type, this suit is as pretty
as it is useful, and is made variously of
Harris tweed, homespun, Scotch cheviot,
and plain unpatterned. English serge.
The skirt is gored slightly on the front
and sides, and is full in the back. It is
unlined. and faced with waterproof to
the depth of eight inches underside. The
skirt is very short, that is, it clears the
ground by five inches all around. Attached
to this skirt is a fitted blouse

goods matching the skirt. One of these
suits brought from London by a returned
tourist consists of a skirt and jacket of
dark russet-colored serge, with vest of
paler tan surah. The jacket is doublebreasted,
and this and the skirt are
machine-stitched <it all the edges. En
suite is a cap of tan cloth, also a pair of
neat, very long russet kid leggins, with
gloves cf the same shade, a pretty addition
to the whole being a small umbrella
of red russet changeable silk.?New
York Post.
PANNIERS MAY RETURN.
I wouldn't wonder at all if we arrived
at panniers before the season is over.
Many skirts now have a suggestion of
drapery about them and to others a graceful
touch is imparted by puffs of lace
about the waist. Sometimes the lace
takes the shape of what used to be called
a postillion, and is added only at the
back and sides of the waist. An awfully
pretty way of making an old waist new
is to sew the lace underneath quite
straight and plain and turn it up on the
outside, or else apply it in a girdle shape
in a high point at the back. A few yards
oi nice luce laid in at the beginning of
the season is a positive economy, because
it nan he nut on one <mwn fnr nn nrra
eion and taken right off and be ready for
the next one, and it always gives a touch
of refinement to the most commonplace
toilet. Why, even a bit of lace fulled
around the cuffs and falling over the
hand gives a touch of old world grace to
everybody and is the most becoming thing
in the world to anybody's hand. It
brings out all the beauties of a pretty
pair and throws the dearest little veil in
the world over ordinary ones. The new
point de jene, or coral lace as it ie usually
c*ll?d, it u perfect blessing. Three
quarters of a yard of lace about a quartet
of a yard deep, either plainly gathered
or run on a bit of crepe of some pretty
coL-r, fastened at one's throat and falling
down over one's gown in front simply
gives a new air to the whole costume and
it's a dainty air too, and looks just as il
you felt that way all the time and loved
to be so, and hadn't just put it on because
some one was coming.?American

LITTLE-KNOWN WIDOW8.
Some of the richest widows in the
country the world kDows the least of,
writes John A. Cockerill. And among
these are some who do the world a great
deal of good, too. Every city has its
wealthy widows and if you look over the
'glittering galaxy they will in moot cases
be found to be women of rare good sense,
managing their affairs with judgment
and bearing themselves in a very proper
world. Tha fact that 8
woman is a rich man's widow is always
something to her credit. Men who do
not have good wives to help them in the
world's strife rarely have the chance to
leave rich widows. How often do the
people of New York hear of Mrs. Schenley,
of Pittsburg? Yet she is worth
$20,000,000, according to the ea'cirnates
of those who know where her property is
and the value of it.
Mrs. Thomas A. Scott, of Philadelphia,
is a modest woman, notwithstanding
her $5,000,000 or more. Out
neighboring city of Hartford has two or
three rich women, and one of them, Mrs.
Leonard Church, worth $1,000,000, is
not above taking her outing in a turnout
worth at the outside figure about $65. I
used to hear occasionally, through some
clever business turn she had made, of
Sarah Cates, of Kansas City. She is a
widow and away from her home i9

reputea to oe worui fiv,vW,v>;? ...
realized from a real estate investment of
less than $300C. I have not heard lately
of Mrs. Cates, but unless she pinned her
faith and her bank notes with too much
tenacity upon Kansas City's future, I
presume she is still accumulating money.
The world hears nothing of Mra. Rachel
Gaff, of Cincinnati, nor Mrs. Olilver
Perrin, of the same place, and yet each
of those ladies is worth from $2,000,000
to $3,000,000. Mrs. Joseph Harrison,
whose husband built the first railroad in
Russia, is worth $4,000,000, but her
name is rarely seen in newspapers. In
striking contrast with these women just
named, in the matter of avoiding the public
gaze, is America's own Mrs. Jos^phina
M. Ayer, the patent-medicine widow,
who continues to dazzle Paris with her
diamonds, swell equipages and princely
entertainments. Mrs. Ayer is our best
example of a lady who is away from
home, very rich, and doesn't care who
knows it. A reception wmcu hits, ajui
gave last winter?it was but one of several?is
said to have been a marvel of
expenditure, even for Paris. It is not
unlikely that her future effoits in this
direction may eclipse the greatest of her
i past achievements.?New York Recor'

in mourning pins.
Watteau folds at the back of gown*
are very much the mode. Frequently a
bow with very long ends is used instead
of the fold both on high necked and
decollete gowns.
A favorite fashion of the hour for din

These plaits are attached to gowns of ani
handsome material, and are a rich and
graceful addition.
At the present moment dre3S skirts
cling tighter than ever. In extreme
cases the entire dress looks like a cuirass,
the skirt and bodice made iu one and
both equally tight.
Sash ribbons are shown in all the colors
of summer silks and cottons. Somt
very serviceable and pretty ones are oi
double-face satin. These come in al'

white.
The advent of the poke bonnet has
been discussed very thoroughly, and it
now seems likely that for the ensuing
summer small boo net; and large round
hate will maintain the i hold upon fashI

| AmoDg the new silks and satins are
; those figured in polka dots of various
! sizes. These made with full skirts and

I about the low cut neck are exceedingly
! pretty for young girls.
The best modistes use silk lining both
for the bodies and skirts of gowns. Linings
of silk fit so much bettsr and aro so
much lighter than the ordiuary lining
that they are invariably preferred by
tnose wno nave oace naa mem.
Among the recently imported gowns
are those with glove-fitting, seamless
round waists, with sheath skirts. They
are designed expressly for slender women.
Length is given to the waist
when needed by adding a sharply pointed
trirdle of silk or velvet.
The new polka-dotted silks and satins
make charming gowns for young girls,
when these are made with rather full
skirts and baby waist, with deep frill of
chiffon or point de Gene around the
openneck,and a black velvet girdle with
velvet ribbon eade at one side.

A new way of annealing small pieces of
steel is given by a writer in the English
Mechanic. Heat the pieces as slowly as
possible, ana wheo at a low red heat
put them between two pieces of dry

boards, and on coming together around
it they form a practically air-tight charcoal
bed. When cools off the steel is
apt to be found thoroughly annealed.

A Skeleton in the Crystal.
The aged Dr. Collier relates the foV
lowing: In 1842 an old and worthy
friend, of whose strict veracity I haven't
the least possible doubt, came from Burnbam,
England, with a relative to transact
some business in London. During
the time of my absence from home with
this relative, my friend, through sheer
curiosity, took up a small oval-mounted
crystal which stood near him on a table,
and began to examine it. After looking
at it intently for a few minutes and trying
to guess, as he afterwards told me,
what on earth such a novelty could be
used for, he noticed that tbe surface of
the instrument became clouded. This
He at urn aitnoutea toms naving diowd

the dew-like cloud with his handkerchief,
but hie efforts seemed to increase the
cloudiness. Presently the cloud took
upon itself the form of the legs of an
ostrich, the toes and knee-joints being
clearly outline . For a second they
seemed to open and ^lose at the joints
like a pair of caliper*. While gazing in
awe-stricken wonder and amazement at
this uncanny exhibition of the supernatural,
my friend noticed that the figure

the final change came, which
converted the cloudiness of the upper
part of the glass into ribs, vertebrae, long,
bony arms, ihe whole surmounted by a
hideous, grinning skull. At this juncture,
according to my friend's story, he
began to feel a great oppression in the
region of the chest and a numbness and
giddiness in the head. He lost no time
in replacing the crystal upon the table,
and says that it was some hours betas
he was able to throw off the unpleasant
sensation which his curious experience
produced.
It was not until nearlv two Tears after
this that he ventured to tell me of the
circumstance; even then I could not induce
him to inspect the crystal again.
In conclusion I may remark that the

the time, died at about the time Mr.

A Promising Situation.
(New York Dally JnTMtlgator.)
Good judges say that one of the next )<v
calities to achieve distinction by jumping
from a substantial town to a thriving metropolis
in a few years will be the city of
Superior, Wisconsin, and this, too, without
the effort and struggle through whicb
inferior towns have passed while effecting
the same result. Until a yeai
or two ago the average man did not stop tc
think that Superior as a monopolist of the
water and rail termini at one end of the
lakes is in the same position as Buffalo at
the other end. Figures are uninteresting
uoless given briefly, but comparisons
are always important. This little Superior,
credited by its last census with
only 22,000 people, handled more

it shipped nineteen million bushels, of flout
sixteen hundred thousand barrel*, of wool
four million pounds, and of merchandise
to the value of thirteen million dollars
Of all lake cities this business was
second only to Chicago in magnitude.
There is an economical reason for this
condition of things. It is that the rail
rate on freight sent west of Lake Michigan
is one cent per ton per mile, while
the water rate is one-tenth of one cent per
ton per mile. This position at the extreme
western end of Lake Superior is
what gives the city of Superior its prestige,
and is making it grow faster than
Chicago ever did. Besides one hundred and
one smaller industrial concerns, Superior has
located twenty-eight large manufacturing
enterprises in the past eighteen months, including
the American Steel Barge Comriomr
tho bnildera of the famous
FH*V1
"whaleback" vessel, which is revolutionizing
the lake and ocean freight
carrying trade. The twenty-eight institutions
above mentioned include iron and steel
plants, flour mills, stove foundries, wagon
factories, pump makers, ship builders and
saw and shingle mills. The most conservative
business men in the Northwest
believe that Superior will grow faster
in the next ten years tban any
other city in that prosperous section of the
country, and many of them claim that
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Milwaukee
have never seen the rapid growth
that will come to the bead of the great chain

Q. If Alabastine expensive?
A. No, it is the cheapest article for the parpose
on the market.
Q. How is that'/ Cannot I ^purchase kalsomines
at a few cents per pound.'
A. Yes. kaLsomines can be purchased at
almost any price.
Q. Why then is Alabastine less expensive?
J\u XIX IUC ill Ov |/UVW w ywv II ??o?/
costing a few cents more, will cover double the
surface that a package or kalsomine will.
Q. What other advantage lifts Alabastine
that kalsomines do not possess?
A. Alabastine is entirely-different from all
kalsomines. It is manufactured from a base in
itself a cement, and when applied to a wall sets
hard.
S. How do kalsomines differ from this?
. Kalsomines are made from whiting, clays,
chalks or some inert powder for a base and are
entirely dependent on animal glue to hold them
on the walL
Q. What are the results?
A. In one case the Alabastine being a cement
hardens with age, and the kalsomines as soon
as' the glue, which constitutes its binding
quality, decays, rubs and scales off, as it has
nothing to hold it on the walL
Q. Does Alabastine require washing and
scraping off before recoating?
A. No, Alabastine when once applied to a
clean surface can be recoated for any length of
time without having to wash or scrape the
walls.
Q. Does this feature count for much?
A. Ask any practical housekeeper, who has
been driven from home to have walls washed
and scraped, whether it will be desirable to
have all of this overcome, and walls improved
instead of "poilr.d by coating them.
Q. How can I get Alabastine ?
A. From your local paint dealer. If he does
not keep it In stock, and tries to sell you something
else, tell him you are determined to trv
Alabastine, and If he will not keep it you will
get it elsewhere.
