Mrs. Hastings' Gowns. The outfit of our present first lady in the State of Pennsylvania, Mrs. D. H. Hastings, wife of the new Governor, is remarkable at once for its quiet elegance and simplic ity. The materials are of the choicest qualities selected in colors best suited to the complexion of the wearer and made up by artists. Some choice gems were created by the modiste who made Mrs. Cleveland's gowns, others were de signed in Philadelphia and still others, it is whispered, some of her prettiest Iresses, by her Bellefonte dressmaker. A very handsome dress, the one worn on Inauguration day and which is now to be taken for her visiting and calling costume is of laly's cloth light mauve in color and trimmed with velvet in the darkest shade of the same color. In this suit a change has been rung upon the almost universal plain skirt, by piping either side of the front breadth with a cord of the velvet, quite as thick as one of her n slender fingers. The waist for this skirt is round and Inished at the waist with a roll of tho dark velvet, and at the neck with the conventional stock collar. Jery full sleeves finished at the wrists with velvet roll, and a full vest of moire silk show ing a shade of mauve between the very light cloth and very dark velvet with just the least bit of cream lace forming a tiny jabot at the throat, the whole forming one of the most exquisite com binations imaginable and one that could only have been evolved from the brain of a "really" artist. For carriage wear with this suit is a coat of the dark mauve velvet, almost if not quite three-quarter length, tight fitting, fuK skirt and sleeves large enough to take in the fashionably large sleeves of the dress waist. A Frenchy feature of this exquisite coat is a very full fall of heavy cream lace, which seems simply to have been tacked at the throat and then left to take its own course to the waist line. With each full suit there is a small bonnet to match. One of Mrs. Hastings most becoming gowns is a street suit of tho just now popular velutina-cord in: so shade of wood-brown and trimmeL w ;b that rachest of all fur, the brown marten. Velutina-cord, it may or may not be known generally, is of corduroy weave but with a surface as soft and glossy as real velvet, and certainly promises to be the most popular winter goods in the market. The architectural idea 6f Mrs. Hastings' suit is plain full skirt, showing two wide box plaits at the back. A coat basque with two small box plaits from the yoke to the waist line, back and front. The yoke was rather wide, cut in three points back and front, and edged with the brown mar ten fur. The sleeves and edge of the basque were finished with the same fur. A pretty house grown and the one in which Mrs. Hastings was receiving calls upon the afternoon of my visit was a fine cream wool shot with a cerise red silk which combination was particularly becoming to her brunette type. The skirt of this gown was as plain and full as possible pipe-organ plaits at the back and the whole crinolined "until able to stand alone." The waist was laid in the new box plaits with stripes of i'd velvet showing from under them; a roll of red velvet finished the edge of the waist and wide folds of the same bound the throat. Another, and probably more costly than any is a Lyons black velvet, short length. One peculiairity of Mrs. H's wardrobe is the asence of trained skirts. The waist of this velvet is heavy with cut jet and so made that with the sleeves removed and the heavy yoke of jet, a fully-fledged eve ning bodice is left all ready for wear. With this velvet skirt there are to be worn several waists of silk, chiffon and grenadine that almost defy description. One certainly does, An illuminated grenadine in stripes fully three inches in width, one stripe in dark green shading out in the lightest green, and the alternating stripe in the darkest red shading into palest pink. The stock, and waist, and sleeves, finished with red velvet and sparkling jet, the whole, when worn with the elegant velvet skirt making an almost bewildering combination and one of Mrs. Hasting's most becoming suits.

The process of manufacture consists in furnishing glass in a hot, plastic condition, with a flexible metalic layer, Iron-wire net Ling, for Instance, whIch is completely Inclosed by the vitreous substance and effectively protected against exterior Influences, as dust, etc. The new glass possesses much greater resisting power than the ordinary material and Is, It is claimed, Indifferent to the most abrupt changes of temperature and will even withstand open tire. The glass Is especially adapted for skylights, the powerful resisting Qualities of the material enabling the usual wire protectors to be dispensed with. As wire glass cannot be cut by the diamond except under the ap plication of great force and cannot be broken without creating consider able noise, the substance is claimed to be in a measure burglar-proof. Iron. Why~ It 1s "a Ta'6ble ?Cat." Some writers on the curiosities ot Ainimal n'omenclature tell us that the reason we call a feline of certain markings of color a "tabby" cat is be cause Tabitha was the goddess of the crooked-clawed species. Wagner's "Names and Their Meaning," although it has a splendid department on the nicknames of birds, does not refer to those applied to the animal species at all, therefore it will be of no use to consult that work to find out why a " tabby" cat bears its unique name, or why a "Jerusalemu" donkey isso called. In a curious old work (printed in Lon don, in 1606) entitled, "Names Ap plied to Animate Things," I find the following, which seems to explain the tabby cat enigma: "The ternme 'Tab bie Cat' is derived fromi At ab, a famous streete in Bagda1, at eittle of the Ori snt. This streete is iEnbited by tho manufacturers of a sillen sta~i calle 1 'atabi,' the waved markings of the pratered siilke rasmbl')ing a cat's coat. From that we call all cats so marked A BRIGHT STA& A SKETCH OF THE MAN 'WO LEJ MARY ANDERSON TO FAME. Also Played Leading Roles With Bootb Barrett and Thorne. (From the St. Louis Chronice.) One of the most conspicuous figares in th Stageland of America to-day is John W. Nor ton. Born in the seventh ward of New Yor City forty-s&x years ago, the friends of hi youth were Thomas W. Keene and Fran Chanfrau. We find Keene a star at the ag of 25 and Norton in the flower of early man hood the leading man for E.lwin Booth a the famous Winter Garden Theatre. H was starred with Lawrence Barrett early i the 70s, and alternated the leading role with Charles Thorne at the Variety Theatr in New Orleans. Early in the Centennia year, in Louisville, Norton met our Mar Anderson, then a fair young girl who aspire( for stage fame, took her under his guidane and, as everybody knows, led her to fame Mr. Norton is now the proprietor of th Grand Opera House in St. Louis, the D Quesne Theatre, Pittsburg, and one of th stockholders in the American Extravaganz Company. One afternoon early In June he bobble Into his New York Office on Broadwaey an encountered his business manager, Georg MeManup, who had also been a rheumatic suf ferer for two years. Norton was surprise that McManus had discarded his cane. Wh cured you? he asked. "I cured myself," re plied McManus, "with Dr. Winliams' Pin Pills." "I was encouraged by Mr. McManus' cur and as a last resort tried the Pink Pills my self," said Mr. Norton to a Chronicle re porter. "You have known me for five year and know how I have suffered. Why, dur In- the summer of 1S93 I was on my back a the Mullanphy Hospital, in this city, fou weeks. I was put on the old system of diet ing, with a view to clearing those acidulou properties in my blood that modical theorist say is the cause of my rheumatism. I ]o: the Hospital feeling stronzer, but the firs damp weather brought with it those exert ciating pains in the legs and back. It we the same old trouble. After sitting dow for a stretch of five minutes the pain screwed my legs into a knot when I arose and I hobbled as painfully as ever.

During the past two weeks we hav had much rainy weather in St. Louis. Bu the dampness has not had the slightest effec in bringing back the rheumatism, which consider a sufficient and reliable test of th efficacy of Pink Pil!s.

The extent of this coun try is equalled by none on earth. Col air being heavier to the square inc than warm air, the cold air, when com ing in contact with a warm curren from the south, always predominates forcing the warm air into the uppe currents. The cause of cyclones is th neeting of a head wind from the nort] with a head wind from the south. The: meet like two vast armies of men. Th< pressure at the point of meeting is e< great that the air, by comprehension becomes heavier to the square ic than wood or the human body, henci either one will float in the same man er that wood will float in water-i loats because it is lighter to the squart inch than water. Place water in a2 ordinary wash bowl and remove the plug and it will be observed that it passing out the water forms a circulai reaction. Air being a liquid does th< .ame in passing either upwards oi ownwards; hence the funnel-shapet spout of the cyclone centre. When wo immense bodies of air coming fron: pposite direction meet, the only gress is upwards and sideways, and it passing upwards it forms the funne: he same as water passing out of r ashbowl downwards. The theory tha1 cyclone forms a vacuum is absurd, Withdraw air from a glass jar with at ir-pump, and, a feather within the vaccuum formed will drop with the same velocity as lead, or, on the othei and, you can compress air until it fa heavier to the square inch than wood, n which case wood will float in the sir. The lifting power of a cyclone it aused (1) by the compression or den. sity of the air, and (2) by its velocity. Cmbining the power of density witl: that of velocity, which occurs at the entre or funnel, no power can resisi it. The feeling of suffocation or diffi eulty in breathing when near the traci f a cyclone is caused from the com ~ression of air.-Minneapolis Tribuna Mlllionaires and Thoir Sons, On the average, great fortunes 111 merica have probably clone more gooc and less harm than might have been xpected.

On the afternoon about which we xerespeaking I remember setting forth yu my walk In the still glow of the tropical calm and wondering ratter at the intense stillness of the surroundinr forest. Then the air grew cooler and the green of the foliage in front seemed to deepen, and presently there was a sound as of a giant waterfall in the dis tance. Waterfalls do not, however, grow louder every second, whereas the noise in front did so. Then there was a loud, angry growl as of a dozen lions. A minute more and the whole jungle began to roar as if fifty squadrons of heavy cavalry were coming up at a ga. !ap. Then came a drop of rain and a peal of thunder which seemed to mat .he world stop. Then the storm began. The sky abovn, .tarkened, the trees clattered, tie brushwood beneath hissed and bowed itself. A deluge of rain dirops blotted ut the narrow view. Down it came. soaking through the densest leaves un der which one fled for refu; . striln: the grass and sand with millions of dull thuds. dashing furiously against the leaves as if they were so many hos tile shields, streaking the air with in numerable Zerpendicular lines and hurling itsclr down with the force of 'Sullets. In such a downpour one may as wel. walk and get wet as to stand still and get wet. Unfortunately one did not know where to walk to. The "circum bendibus system" presupposes the fact that the wagon wheels and bullock tracks can be seen and noted. But when the cart track Is no longer a cart track, but "all turned to rushing wa ters," such tracks cannot be seen, and unless you have a pocket compass you may as well try to fly as to get back to where you came from.

In contrast to the very large geners tors of electricity-batteries and dyna mo electric machinery-In such com. mon use to-day, it may be interestin.; to note what is perhaps the smnallest electric battery ever constructed, and~ no doubt also the smallest generator of electrical or mechanical energy. This battery was constructed some~ years ago by one of the electricians of the Boston Telephone Comparny, and consisted of an ordinary glass head, through which two wvires, cue of cop per and the othe-r of i-on, were looped and twisted so as to prevent their com lg in contact. The wires acted as the electrodes, and all that was necessary to cause a current to flow was to place a drop of acidulated water in the head. Certainly such a minute battery tur nished but an infinitesimal current, but could be essily used in a delicate tele phone; in fact, it is said to have been actually used in signaliug to a distance of neal- 2020 miles.-Cassier's Mag's i-e.
