(the BLOUSE WAISTS tnMMKWmaHMW New York, Nov. 12. -The greatest | trouble with any now style that meets popular taste is that it is at once over done and everybody wears it in and out of scasou. So it is with the blouse waist. From mourning and even tailor made costumes of the most uncompromising kind to the lightest and flimsiest of dancing dresses we find the blouse waist, and already I see signs of a reaction in favor of tight waists. Blouses are made of strange materials when we think of the loose and baggy effect they have. I saw in one house a regular Russian blouse belt and all made of Hudson bay sable. This had the high storm collar, the pouched front, the little skirt piece set on with a decided spring and a thick leather belt It didn’t look half bad, though the fur is so thick. Still, there • fl ft IliWMiB NEW WAISTS. is no material, however rich, that can give a blouse a really elegant appearance. Stylish and striking it may be, but not pleasing, to the most refined taste. There was a whole suit, skirt and blouse, made of fine black Persian lamb. The skirt was open in front over a panel of plaited black satin duchesse, but the blouse was closed. The skirt to the basque was piped and faced with black satin. Along the edge of the storm collar was sewed a row of finely cut jet beads as large as peas. The belt worn with the basque was made of black velvet, with rows of the same kind of beads at the edges. The entire costume, hat and all, was black without a hint of color. It was a costly and sumptuous affair. Even the oldest ladies wear the blouse waist, but one may say that the blouse of the present day fits closely over the shoulders and around the bust line, all the bagginess being massed toward the front, low down, with the exception of those blouses gathered all the way around to stand out over the belt. Even these are but a very trifle looser any-, where than a snug waist would be, but these few gathers are put where they show very plainly. There are now many tight waists seen. Some are cut off short and round and finished with a piping cord or per haps a belt made of bias velvet. These are for the very slender ladies. For those more bountifully endowed the pointed fronts and backs are most often seen or pointed fronts and queer little postilion backs. One of the prettiest of the new ideas is the tab in front. This is becoming to all figures and can be varied to suit. Fur will be so very much worn this winter that one may be surprised at finding any garment with none on. Even coarse goatskin is used. Fur hats i are among the novelties, and some of them are novel enough in all conscience. Seal and undyed beaver, mink, skunk, otter, chinchilla and sable are all seen on hats, but only those of short pile, like seal and beaver, are suitable for making the entire hat. The large pic ture hats of velvet, with innumerable featherbone shirrings, are also orna mented with fur wherever it can be added. Many felt hats have narrow bindings of fur around the edges. For millinery there are the queerest looking arrangements of stiff feathers imaginable, and it seems as if the only idea was to see how stiff and grotesque '!w i STYLES FOR THE NEW YORK MORSE SHOW, an affair it can be made to look. Owl, hawk, turkey and parrot quills are used ; so are the long, glossy plumes from the barnyard fowls. Whole pheasants are mounted like real birds, and they are seated upon the top of the hat as if ■ hatching ideas. The preference in these feathers is for the natural drabs and light browns, with dashes of black or white—in short, the feathers which be long naturally to the large birds. Os trich plumes are worn and to be worn as much as ever. 1 notice in one house a number of - most beautiful black velvet jackets. These range from the eton to three quarter coat. They are all lined with rich satin, generally black, and either I mbroidered with heavy w'k in raises lesign, trimmed with silk passemen terie, or else beaded with tine cut jet beads. All have the collars bordered with Alaska sable fur. They are for old and young, the shape fitting them for their purpose. Olive Hm<pkr. BUGGS AND ME. Stirring Incidents of a Stirring Friend and Partnership. Winter has crept up surprisingly npm many of us, but not so with Buggs and me. Dur ng the fruitful seasons, we have laid away and stored the every day oomforts, until now we open our Shutters and as we see the leaves wilt under the rasping touch of Jack Fiost, we smuggle our bead deep down in our shoulders, and sigh that all people do not have the foresight of Buggs and me. Through many changing seasons, in fact since I was very young, Buggs and I have been great cronies, so it was very natural that we should be business part ners when I grew older, for Buggs was old. Accordingly we opened this summer our little store just beyond East Rome, and I carefully traced, Buggs and Co. on the window lights where all passers by would be attracted to our emporium, for I was sure that my pokeberry sign would be alluring. During the last few months marvelous changes have taken place, all for the better, and we now average more than two sales a day, and after being in busi ness four months, I can now sit on a cracker box, cross my legs, and with a “two for” cheroot, sending its noxious fumes in every direction, discuss the action of the newspapers in starting out on the Guldensuppe trial in New York, just like they were going to repeat their Luetgert folly. Guldensuppe was a rub ber in a bate house, and his murdeied Martin Thorn was a barber, so you see the cause of the indignation aroused around the store of Buggs and Co. Buggs says they can kill a dozen rubber men, and he doesn’t care for we can get plenty more from India and he gen erally knows. We had quite a discussion a few days ago, about collecting thirty cents a piece for some shriveled fire damaged derbys that we had sold. I am some sort of a Bible man, so I argued that the good book says for us to forgive our debtors. When I said this, Buggs looked at me, seriously as if to question my sanity, then broke out in a hearty laugh. In hie own matter-of-fact way of reasoning, he replied that I could go upon my knees in the closet, and for give them all, but his side of the house was going to doits best to collect that thirty cents. And he did. He said that I pretended to be such a biblical student, could I explain to him why God would create men in his own image, and pre destine some of them to eternal punish ment? 1 knew he had me. so I told him that the devil was the author of such questionable ideas, and to banish them. He was quiet for some minutes then we branched off on the love affairs of the younger brother of Buggs, whose ama tive nature is blighted by a fickle dispo sition. So long as the tender chords binding his heart to his “bright particu lar,’’were nurtured by an every day association, bis devotion and submis sion to her wishes was deep and sincere, but as soon as they were separated, the creep ng tendrils that gradually had en cased his heart would loosen until that old theory was proven, ‘ ’out of sight, out of mind.” Unlike man’s love, the one upon whom his love had been lav ished, retained faithfully her dependant trust in him, thereby causing his indif ference to cut deeper the furrows on the fair brow, and to bend lower the justly proud head. After weighing his merits and demerits, we decided that we could not censure him for being unable to Waft his spirit in sweet imaginations constantly to her side. Such a nature is a misfortune not a fault, a feeling in born, and increate, not acquired, nor cultivated, With such spice to occasion ally vary the monotony of our daily life, we whiled the hours away while the street oars were stagnated last week. But crowning the weeks events, and without the mention of which, this re sume would be incomplete, was our taking a preacher. Last Tuesday night, Buggs and I were awakened by a terri ble commotion in our back yard. A cat aclysm of omniDuses, or a Scalchi con cert, lulls us to sleep but this racket startled us so that the chattering of our teeth sounded like hail on a tin roof. Buggs and I filled hands and pockets with weapons for offensive, and defen sive warfare, the first things our hands tell upon, and by the ruddy light of a candle, that the wind blew out before we reached the back partition, we sal lied forth with chivalric tread and an tagonistio mien. Coming from the re gion of our poultry yard, the most ago nizing cries of distress pierced the mid night dullness, and upon closer inspeo tion we saw that the death watch was at the door, and that our chicken feath ers were counted, The preachers advent had cast its shadow before, and alarmed our fowls. The armament which we hastily gathered consisted of cakes of THB BOMB TRIBUNE. SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 14. 18»7. SHINING SHOWER SpF- STARS TONIGHT. The astronomers look for the next great meteoric shower on the morning of November 15, 1899. They calculate that the earth will then pass again through the center of an immense swarm of meteoroids, as they are before combustion. There great “Lenoide Star Showers,” as they are called, oc cur at intervals of every 33 years and one day. The great shower of 1799 oc curred on November 12; that 1833 on November 14, and, consequently, a re petition of the next wonderful pheno mena is expected on the morning of No vember 15,1899. In the meanwhile, however, as the aggregation of meteoroids is of immense length, one end of it will encounter the earth in 1898 and the other in 1900, making, as Professor Lewis wist, the distinguished astronomer of Rochester, N. Y„ says, considerable showers in those years also. Not only this, but it is stated on the same authority that many forerunners of the great shower may be expected to come within the earth’s atmosphere on November 14, 1897, because many of the meteoroids are always considerably in advance of the main cluster. Professor Swift says “the thickness of the meteoroidal stream is 100,000 miles, and the dura ion of the shower is equal to the time of the diagonal passage of the earth soap in our pockets, tin pithers, towel racks, candelabra’s and various bric-a brac, with which the room of two old bachelors is ornamented in our hands. But our preacher was a lovely young fellow, clean shaved, slick hair, and having a sweet, pleasant address. We had family prayers, and he questioned us like we were catechumen, and succeeded in making Buggs feel like a regular loggerhead, but I stood the catechising scathless. An air of his sanctity has made us breathe easier, and few households can boast of as fer vent and prayerful a pair of sinners as Buggs and me. I heard a low monotonic mumble on our back porch last night stfortly after supper, and I listened. Buggs had been silent in reveries all after, noon, and I tried to rouse him, but he seemed to be either brooding, or as Shel ley would say, “Music, when soft voices die, vibrates in the memory.” The gentle pong-ponger, pong pongei of a church bell nearby called the worshippers to a communion preparation service, and, as its notes of immaculate sweetness melted on the twilight evening, I stood enraptur ed as I heard Buggs slowly, somewhat sadly, repeating Thomas Moore’s lovely poem— Those evening bells! those evening bells! How many a tale their music tells Os youth, and home, and that sweet time. When last I heard their soothing chime! Those joyous hours are passed away, And many a heart that then was gay, Within she tomb now darkly dwells. And beats no more those evening bells. *> And so ’twill be when I am gone— that tuneful peal will still ring on; While other bards shall walk these dells, And sing your praise, sweet evening be Is, His sweet low voice lulled me into un conscious bliss, and I thanked him f< r the transition.

The stream makes a around the sun in about years, and by consequence the earth passes thro’ i in a new place every year The length of the swarm is ■s > enormous that al though it moves at the rate of nearly 25 miles a second, yet it takes it two year topass the earth, so that when it.- hinder part is still with us its advane ing side will have reached the orbits cf Jupiter and B‘turn. Notwithstanding this extent, it is but a fraction of the en tire orbit-. Prof. Swift says: ‘‘This great cluster will reach the earth’s or bit about June 1, 1899, but the earth will not have arrived there then, bu. i will be due nearly six months later 1 when our planet will plunge into the I swarming mass, and for at least five years we shall experience a literal rain of fire.” The English and the French. It has been the writer’s fate to live a good deal on both sides of the English channel, and nothing is more amusing than to hear the absurdities that are gravely asserted by each of their neigh bors. To an Englishman a Frenchman will always be “a tiger or monkey” of Carlyle, while to the French mind Eng lish gravity is only hypocrisy to cover every vice. Nothing pleases him so much as a great scandal in England, and he will gleefully bring you the pa | per containing the account to prove how i true is his opinion, it is quite useless ' to explain (as the writer has often tried) to the British mind that Frenchmen do not all pass their lives drinking absinth ‘on the boulevards, and as Englishmen i (asMaxO’Rell says) seem to leave their [ morals in a valise at Dover when off i for a short visit to Paris, to be picked up on their return, it would be time lost trying to make a Gaul understand what good husbands and fathers they are. These two great nations always seem to stand in the relation to each other that Rome and Greece held. Our Eng lish cousins are the great conquerors of the world, the great colonizers, with a vast capital in which wealth and mis ery jostle each other in the streets; a hideous conglomeration of .buildingsand monuments, without form and void, very much as old Rome must have been under the Caesars, enormous buildings without taste, and enormous wealth, while the French s6em to have inherit ed the temperament of the Greeks.

The strategic position of the Greek and Turkish armies in the late cam paign was out little more complicated than rhe strategic position of two foot ball teams when they are lined up for a scrimmage When the game began, the Greeks had possession of the ball, and they rushed it into Turkish territory, where they lost it almost immediately on a fumble, and after that the Turks drove them rapidly down tbe field, go ing around their ends and breaking through their center very much as they pleased. Tbe Greeks were outnumbered three to one, but there are many people who think that they would have run away even had the number of men on both sides been equal There is, however, no way of proving that they would have done this, while it can be proved that they were outnumbered and were near ly always for that reason attacked as strongly an the flank as in the front. This fact should be placed to their cred it side in summing up their strange conduct If an eleven from Princeton played three elevens from Yale at the same time, one can see that the game would hardly be interesting, and to car ry out the simile still further and then to drop it, it was as though this Prince ton eleven was untrained and had nt knowledge of tricks or of team play, and absolutely no regard for its captain as a captain.—Richard Harding Davis in Harper’s Magazine.

Much suffering could be avoided if the first warning pains of Rheumatism were heeded and the proper treatment at once taken. But the people generally are not acquainted with the cause of the disease, though thousands know its tor tures. Those who use liniments and ointments cannot understand why they grow worse each winter, and find them selves gradually becoming unable to get around as they once could; yet they know that their trouble came on at first as little aches and pains, which hardly attracted their attention.! Everybody should know more about rheumatism; they should know* that it is a peculiar condition of the blood upon which all the liniments in the world can have no effect whatever. The best blood remedy is needed—one which is able to go to the very seat of the disease, and force it out. Swift’s Specific (S.S.S.) is the right remedy for Rheu matism, because it is the only blood remedy free from mercury, potash and other minerals which intensify the dis, ease, causing stiffness of the joints and •citing of the bones. Swift’s Specific being a real blood rem edy never fails to cui e Rheumatism. It reaches even the worst cases where the doctors have made cripples with their prescriptions of potash and mercury. Mr. D. R. Johnson, an extensive lum ber dealer of Blackshear, Ga., writes: • My wife was for years a sufferer from Rheumatism, and was treated constant ly, but could obtain no relief. The pain was first felt in her left shoulder, and extended in all directions, increasing in severity. The doctors said the dis ease was liable to strike the heart at any time, in which event death would be inevitable. “Every kind of treatment recommend ed for Rheumatism was given her, including many blood remedies, but none dialler any good. She was grow ing worse all the while, and was reduced to a mere shadow of her foimer self. “It was at this critical period that Swift’s Specific was given her; the med icine seemed to reach the disease promptly, and she at once began to im prove. One dozen bottles effected a complete cure, and she has had no touch of the disease since.” Every one afflicted with Rheumatism should take a remedy which can reach their trouble. S.S.S. will cure the most aggravated case of Rheumatism,Catarrh, Cancer, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrof ula, Eczema, or any other blood disease. It is guaranteed Purely Vegetable.
