ET? ? -J Labor Memorial Day. At the session of the Knights of Labor, in Louisville, Kv., it was voted unanimous^' to set apart the last Sunday in June as labor memorial day. This day will be observed by all the district assemblies in the United States. It was expressly stated that the day should not be regarded in the light of a holiday. It was fixed upon Sunday especially because it could not be made A holiday with its attendant festivities. WITH GREAT EXPRESSION*. "They tell me, Grimly, that your daughter sings with great expression." "Greatest expression you ever saw. Her own motner can t reiu^uiic lace when sh ?'s si"ging at her best." Pojt Farms in China. In Manchuria and all that part of China adjoining Mongolia there are thousands of farms devoted exclusively to dog raising. At each of these establishments several hundred dogs are ' kept, which are killed by strangulation when they are S months old, usually toward the middle of winter. At that time their skin Is. covered with 1 very fine liair, and from these skins are made winter clothes for the in habitants of the celestial empire. The dogs furnishing these skins are entirely different from the breed of dogs | known here or in Europe, and their fur is said to be so long-haired and i close on account of the extreme cold in that region. These fur dogs constitute the only wealth of this desolate country, and the only dowry given to tne aauguierx of these farmers consists of a number of dots. The value o? the dogs is v about half a dollar, and as it takes eight fur dogs to make a coat, such an article is rather expensive. Traffic in dog skins is centered in ' large cities like Moukden and Foo Chow, where they are tanned. At the flrst-nauied place the amount of dog skins bundled last year represented half a million dollars. Fortune* ia Laces. Large sums of money are represented by fine old laces. It is said that the Astors own lace worth $3,000,000. and that the Vanderbilts value theirs at $4,000,000. The pope is content with only $T5,000 represented in lace, and the Princess of Wales boasts a collection worth $250,000. j c I?ware of Olnlinmti) foi Catarrh Tha? Contain Mercury, '** "*?

The costume given in the illustration has the j FUSSES' WAIST WITH JACKET. merit of being singularly well adapted to youthful figures while it is so simple as to be easily made. As shown the material is light-weight novelty of JM iPr CIRCULAR CAPE OF HEAVY silk and wool iu a rich blue color. The trimming consists of fine black mohair braid arranged in straight bands. The full bodice is mounted on a fitted lining which is composod of the usual pieces and shows the usual seams. On it is arranged the pluin yoke below which falls the full portion which is drawn in at the waist in gathers. The closing is effected invisibly at the centre-back and the neck is finished with a straight collar showing an upstanding frill of lace at the back. The sleeves are two-seamed and snug fitting except for the slight puff at the shoulder. The jacket is made entirely separate ana aas severs which are self-faced, and curved epaulettes which add breadth to the shoulders and so greatly enhance the effect. It is lined throughout with silk, both the revers and epaulettes having au entire lining of light-weight tailor's canvas. At the waist is worn a pointed bodice of the material closely banded with the braid. The skirt is cut in the latest style and is tive-gored with the new fan back. It is litted smoothly across the hip3 and front, and laid in deep underlying plaits at the back to give the necessary spring. The trimming is arranged in hoop effect, but can be varied to suit the taste. The skirt is j lined throughout with percaline and ! has an entire facing of hair cloth six { inches in depth. To make this waist and jacket for a I miss of fourteen years will require two and one-fourth yards of forty-four-inch material. The jacket alone calls for seven-eighths of a yard. The skirt will require three and seven-eighths yards of the same width goods. Ladles' Circular Cape.

The material is heavy black astrukhan cioih which is quite plain and untrimmed. There is a single seam in the cape proper and one in the collar, both at the centre back. The closing is effected invis- j ibly by moans of coat hooks and eyes. The model is lined throughout with ' satin. The edges are simply seamed and turned. Cloth, both with plain I and rough surface, is appropriate. Silks of all sorts, plaids, lioman : stripes and figures, as well as plain satin, are used for linings.

The fancy ribbon tied round the neck in a bow at the back is pretty and becoming, but with stylish women is a fashion of the past, says Toilettes. For ordinary wear a puckered band of silk round the neck, with two 2>ointed ears of silk embroidery falling over each side, or a frill standing out all round, is a becoming finish. A plain band with a velvet frill cut in a circle about three inches deep is a durable linisk; the inner line of the circle should lit the collar, then the frill sets in flutes all round without any extra fulness next the throat; this may have a tine wire inserted in the edge so that the flutes may he arranged and kept regular. The velvet must he lined with silk either of the same or some pretty contrasting color, and a smarter eflect is obtained if the edge is finished with a narrow jeweled passementerie. A full ruffle of lace or double chiflon with a rosette of the same, or a small bunch of flowers each side the neck, from which fall fan-shaped pleatings, is dressy and becoming; as vlso are ruffles composed of narrow velvet, finished by a jabot of lace in front. | I.onjj Coat For a Child. Long coats are undoubtedly the favorites for wea tots' wear. In common with the wraps and gowns of their mothers, their materials are remarkable for richness before all else, but vji i BLACK ASTRAKHAN CLOTH. the general style and cut is simple. The model shown is of palo pink bengaline with collar and epaulettes of velvet bound with ermine. With it is worn a hat of the same materials with trimming of ribbon and quills. The back of the coat has a pointed yoke to which the full portion, which is laid in three box-plaits, is seamed. The fronts, on the contrary, ore cut in one piece with the plaits laid from the shoulder. The simulated yoke of velvet is faced onto the silk and the epaalettes are sewed beneath the outer fold of each plait. The closing is effected by pearl buttons and buttonholes, the latter worked in the edge of the right front which laps over onto i "" j -< ! tno leit. rue secouu xtu?t ui u, down the right side is for decoration only.

' Perhaps there Is no staple article I alK>ut which less is known by the averI acre person than human hair as an article of commerce. It will doubtless surprise many when It is stated that the dealers in human hair goods do not depend on chance clippings here and there, but that there is a regular hair harvest that can always be relied | upon. It is estimated that over 12.- ! 000,000 pounds of human hair are used annually in the civilized world or idorning the heads of women. Iu New Vork city alone over four tons of this class of goods are imported yearly. j "Not a little of the hair used iu this j rountry," said a New York dealer to the writer, "conies from the heads of j American women and is fully as fine in shade and texture as the imported i liml n hirr harvest during the craze that the fair sex had not long j ago for having their hair cut short. : Many thousands of women who then i had their locks sheared have since bit- j torly regretted it. as in many instances i their hair has grown so slowly that they have been compelled to wear a wig or a switch since the fashion ; changed. After the majority of women reach the age of thirty the hair seems to partially lose its vigor, and If cut it will not grow long again. "Two-thirds of the ladies nowadays use false hair more or less. The de-' cree of fashion, or the charm, is the reason, of course. One woman, for in- j stance, has a high forehead and wishes j to reduce It in npi>oaranee. Another j has worn off the front hair by contin- ( ued frizzing, and would like to conceal the fact. Both make use of a front or top piece, with a choice of many styles. "Ladies' wigs ccst from $20 to $200. Half wigs, top pieces and switches, from $10 to $30, according to quality, j "The largest supply of hair comes from Switzerland, Germany, and the, French provinces. There is a human j !>oJf nmrbat in \f<?rlnns in the denart- I ment of the lower Pyrenees, held every Friday. Hundreds of hair traders walk up and down the one street of the village, their shears dangling from their belts, and Inspect the braids which the peasant girls, standing on the steps of the houses, let down for Inspection. If a bargain Is struck the hair Is cut, and the money paid on th<> spot, the price varying from GO cents to ?3 in our money. "A woman's hair may grow to the length of six feet. And I know a lady who has been offered and refused $500 for her crown of glory, which Is over six feet long. A single female hair will bear up a weight of four ounces without breaking, but the hair thus heavily weighted must be dark brown, for blonde hair breaks under a strain of two and one-half ounces. There are some 2,000 Importers, manufacturers and dealers in human hair in the United States. Only a "Vooman."
