COCIfiTY I THE WORLD 0F FflsMioN 1 MIRRORED. •‘Autumnal Reflections,’' by the Village Dressmaker, from the New York Life: “The western sky has trimmed its skirts with ruffles all the way, And bias stripes of salmon-pink and heliotrope and gray; And then, to make it worse, has fin ished off its yellow waist With pipings made of turkey-red, in very shocking taste. 'The autumn leaves, like polka dots, are lying on the ground, ■ ’The flower-beds of calico are withering all around; The purple velvet pansy and the frumpy-leaved old rose, When night goes into mourning will probably be froze. The sun tucks up bis orange-satin quilt about his head. And stuffs his ears with cotton-batting clouds and goes-to bed; While the cock and hen on the wooden fence their feathers flirt and shake, As they dream about the boas which their tails will some day make.” The weeks’ crowning and closing event, was the farewell german given by Prof. Northcutt at the Armstrong, •Friday evening. It was gracefully led by Prof. Northcutt and Miss Wal ker, and Barry Cothran and Miss May Beth Sullivan. Before the german, two fancy dances were gracefully ex ecuted by Miss Bessie Hight and Miss Addie Wright. Two of the sweetest figures in the german were Miss Mabel Harbour in blue accordion pleat, and Miss Bes sie Hight in pink. Miss Featherston wore a handsome white satin evening gown that enhanced ber rare blonde beauty. Miss Sullivan who is re markable for her rare taste in the se lection of ber costumes, wore a dainty p nk silk, slashed with bonsai men tive. The hours waned and still the merry dancers were lost in the se ductive waltzes but the we sma’ hours aroused the chaperones Mrs. H. Yan cey, Mrs. John Montgomery, Mrs. JM. D. Gailliard and others, and reluc tantly the enchantment was broken. Those dancing were Barry Cothran, Miss Sullivan; James O’Neill, Miss Featherston; Edward West, Miss Yan cey; C.

Mrs. RoweU read the minutes, which are al way* enter taining and they were particularly so on this occasion as she touched up each new officer in her own inimitable way.

A memorial to Mrs. Irwin was read by Mrs. McGhee, setting forth the womanly virtues and Christian graces of this most estimable lady. A copy was giveu to Mrs. Montgom ery. Mrs. Irwin’s daughter, who was present, one copy kept in the chapter, and one sent to ‘ ‘The American Monthly.” A very lively discussion followed on co-education. Much was said for it—no argument was sustained against it. That the women of Georgia might have the faculties for higher education within their own state was hoped for. A paper was read at the Federation of clubs at Rome, Ga. when it was stated there were 380, women from Georgia persuing studies at Northern colleges. A committee composed of Mesdames Wood, Eastman, and Haynes were ap pointed to get up an- entertainment. Mrs. McGhee very kindly offered the use of her home.

A perfect face of a delicate Jewish cast was discovered in a small stone about as large around as a 10 cent piece found lying on the railroad grade near Junction City, Ore, Not only’are the brow, hair, oeard and beautiful aquiline nose perfectly shaped and distinct on the etone, but the neck and shoulders are vignetted off into the delicate agate like tracery of the background as it would have been done by an artist. Not only is the face as delicately beau tiful in line as one stamped upon a Greek coin of the reign of Alexander, but in this stone are reproduced the col .ors of life. The face is white, with a blending of flesh tones, growing deeper in the shadows of the neck and shoul ders. The hair in the dark shadow at the back is a rich auburn, just the colo’i associated most often with the ascot!. Jewish type to which the whole sac.. belongs. It is perhaps the strangest pan of this extraordinary coincidence of forms that each feature, from the cav ernous eye and delicate hollowed cheek to the high, narrow brow and wavy auburn hair, is in accord with a famil iar type of the Christ. In this respect the Oregon stone is infinitely superior as a work of nature’s art to the “Stone Man of Sorrows,’’ about which a book was published in London. This head, in a stone a little larger than the recent discovery, was picked up at Oboram mergau as a mere casual memento of the spot, because of its associations with the passion play, and eight years afterward, being held in a certain position, wa>. seen to reveal the face that was some what sentimentally supposed to resem ble the face of Christ.—Boston Tran script. When Man Is Dangerous* It is a singular fact, yet one substan tiated by statistics, that most crime is committed in New York by men 29 years old. This is not only true of the lesser, but also of the greater crimes, al though a man is presumed to be at that period of bis life not only in the zenith of his physical powers, but also in full and complete possession of his' mental strength, with a complete appreciation of right and wrong and their respective consequences. This condition is a prob lem which has not been solved by the student of criminology, and one which is made the more complex by the fact that the ages of 21. .27 and 45 years nearly equal it, with the intervening years showing a far less percentage of crime. It is indeed peculiar that the crim inal tendency should be so strong at 29, with no such inclination, so far as crim inal statistics show, in as great a degree for the succeeding 1G years and then another outburst of the animal in man. /This condition is found to be true by actual figures, and as all statistical com putations at which average conditions are sought to be determined are arrived at by this method, so may the student of this subject as well as the insurance magnate who bases his rates on the gen eral average of losses tn proportion to the risks taken, and does so with full safety, employ it in solving the problem before him.—Chicago Times-Herald. Manifest Destiny. “Charley!’’ exclaimed young Mrs. Tor kins." “What is it?” inquired her husband, as the newspaper slid from his startled grasp. "1 have thought it all Out ” “1 don’t know what you are talking about. ” “The baby’s future. You know how important it is to watch a child and see what his bent is, so that you can get him started on the right road in life." “Yes, but isn’t our baby rather young?” “The younger the better. There is no telling how early character may begin to be molded. You may thank me for taking a great responsibility off your mind. You needn’t worry about his avocation any more.” “And what, may 1 inquire, do you propose to make of him?’’ “A grand opera singer. ” “You’re going to let him go on the stage?’ ’ “I think that when nature especially fits any person for some particular call ing it is dangerous and wrong to com pel him to do something else ’’ “How do you know lie is fitted for grand opera?” “ Because every time he opens his mouth be yells at tne top of his voice and you can t understand a word he says.”—Washington Star Gems of the Ap-;st!Fß. One would think the 12 apostles were rich gentlemen, judging by the freedom with which the ancients assigned them emblems in the way of precious stones. Thus Peter. the Rock, was represented by the hard jasper Andrew was given the blue sapphire as the emblem of Ip even ly faith Bartholomew, the martyr, was assigned the blood red carnelian; James, the affectionate, the white chai cedon, and the gentle, loving John the emerald. With the same view to fitness, James the younger was assigned the topaz, and the enthusiastic and energet ic Matthew the amethyst, while the chrysolite was the emblem of Matthias; the beryl. Thomas; the chrysophrase, Thaddeus, and the pink hyacinth, Sim eon of Cana. To the present day the em blem of Matthew is the sacred stone or namenting cross and pastoral ring of the Roman Catholics.—Pittsburg Dis patch.
