A young woman, who is a relative of |

her first call upon the first lady a few ;
months ago. She sent up her card in the !
approved fashion, and in a few minutes

AN ADMIRER Of AMERICAN WOMEN.
Vienna is noted for its beautiful
women It is therefore of interest to
read what a Viennese writer in the Neue
Frtie Bresse has to say about American
women, who, he declares, if they are not
always beautiful, at least knowrhow to
make themselves appear so. “No
where,’’ lie says, “have l seen so many
beautiful women as in America, includ¬
ing even old women with white hair.
The native American girl, especially if
of English or Scotch descent, is large and
slender, generally blonde, with regular
features and remarkably small hauds and
feet. The complexion is often pale;
rarely do they have the fresh color of a
Viennese girl. The most beautiful girl
1 have ever come across in my life I saw
in a New York store. She was a Amer
iran ot Spanish descent, of a literally
dazzling beauty, such as I had never be
fore encountered in life or on canvas.”
He contrasts the conmgal devotion of
American husbands with the selfishness
of German husbands, aud says his experi¬
ence has taught him to believe that the
happiest marriages are those of Ameri¬
can men to German women.
YOUTHFUL RECEPTION GOWNS.
Many of the new gowns arc all in one
piece, whether cut in Frincesse breadths,
or with the skirt sewed to the waist, or
in tho new quaint fashion with the
waist shaped by innumerable fine tucks
and shirrings at the top of breadths
which extend from the neck to the foot.
The last fashion is especially pretty in I
soft camel's hair and other fine woolens
made up with insertions of herring-bone
or other open crocheted stitches done iu
silken threads between the shirred puffs,
and above hems or tucks. Thus a
graceful Empire gown for a slender
young figure is made of gray camel’s hair
all in one from top to toe, and only two
and three-eighths of a yard wide at the
foot. It is fastened behind, is without
reed? or bustle, and is made over a fitted
silk slip that is held iu place by several
short whale bones set below the bust and
curving out on the hips. The high neck
has three gathered puffs iu round yoke
shape separated by herring-bone inser¬
tion crocheted in gray silk, and below
the bust fine lengthwise tucks taper the
fabric to lit the waist; similar tucks ex
♦ end all the way up the back, concealing
its fastening by hooks and eyes. The
long sleeves, slightly full and high on
the shoulders, taper to the wrists, and
have but one seam, which is plaited in
side the elbow, aud three rows of her
riug-boue insertion are about the wrists,
This simple gown has only a frill of the
wool gathered to edge its neck, and is
worn with an amber necklace and brace
lets. Old-rose, pale green, Eiffel red
and cream white wool dresses will be
made by this model for young ladies and
for girls just in their teens to wear at
l hristmas parties, and to assist at after
noon receptions throughout the winter,

A CURE FOR CHAPPED HANDS.
In a bright, iuoezy article on t-cib-t

the readers ot the Lodie* Home. Journal
some useful hints about drying the hands
in 'Halt l .

on the “chaps by drying your hands im
Sd'heJt and heat w‘hRe while e they arc still damp. ^ I I
know that some mornings you dry them
probably thirty or forty times, still 1 in

to dry them thoroughly each time, then

“It s all my own fault, you know, for I

Then again I have seen women who of
necessity had had tbeir hands in water
and soap for so long that the flesh looked
nearly parboiled, and the feeling. I am
told, is the acme of discomfort. In such

of ammonia in it and good soap and wash
it off. It may take three or four water*.
When the grease is gone put on a fcw
drops of a mixture of glycerine, soft
water and cologne (in equal parts) end
rub well. This will leave your hands
smooth and soft, but not greasy or
sticky.
Glycerine should never be used pure,
as it then has such an affinity or appetite
f,, r water that it absorbs even the neees
pary moisture of the skin and produces a
re cl, feverish, irritated surface. Many
people complain that they 4 ’can't use
glycerine at all,” because it “don't agree
with their skins.” Dilute it with water
«nd then try it, or what is better still,
m ix glycerine, water and cologne in equal
as I have just spoken about.
Don’t let your husband try this mix¬
ture after shaving or he will use it all.
If voti want to put him in angelic mood,
fix up a shaving lotion for him thus:
Bay rum one-half pint, water one
qitarter pint, glycerine two fluid ounces.
Then indeed he will rise up and call j*ou

FASHION ROTES.
Linen collars and cuffs are worn again.
Galloon girdles ard added to many
gowns.
Persian bordcrings are the height of
fashion.
Trained velvet dresses arc liked for re
ceptious.
Light colors predominate in house
dresses for the Winter,
Light otter fur promises to become ex¬
ceedingly fashionable.
On cloth dresses the ornamentation is
generally of a flat description.
Feather bands are used to trim the
most dressy velvet jackets and pelerines.
Immense velvet crowns are thought
stylish on all kinds of hats for children.
Large plaited rosettes of white and
yellow crape are a popular trimming for
black felt hats.
Velvet bodices in Spanish fashion are
worn with skirts of diaphanous material
for evening dress.
Vests, sleeves and girdles made of vel¬
vet are the most conspicuous features of
winter wool dresses.

j The cape-sleeved jacket, simulating a

Narrow fur bands iu several row’s on
both skirt and bodice have superceded

tumes.
Tiie figures in the new and richest bro¬
caded silks are very large, a single pat¬
tern frequently covering an entire
breadth.
Vandyke points are popular iu lace,
passementerie and embroidery, and are
also made in velvet for the bottom of
dress skirts.
Prune cloth dresses have garnitures
either of black or Suede color. Of course,
the latter shade makes the more youth
ful costume,
Tartan shoulder capes iu triple folds,
with long square front, also triple folded,
are seen among the utility short wraps
for early fall wear.
The exquisite “finish” which is put
upon all dresses and mantles, and which
is the distinguishing feature of the times,
is an outcome of the tailor gown,
Even street dresses are cut in the four
scam, or Princess form, the skirt and
waist all in one, even when a separate
bodice is stimulated by the belt and sur¬
plices.
Skirts are worn somewhat longer than
during the summer, the suspicion of train
being seen on some. For these (lays,
-serge, that most serviceable of all matc
rials, is in vogue; with those are worn
white or red cloth jackets, this bit of
color being very effective on the dark
gray, brown or loutre, the prevailing
colors.
A pretty novelty for little girls from
six to twelve is the flat Chinese or Tonkin
hat of felt. It ha? a low, bowl-shaped
crown, with feather rosettes around it,
which graduate smaller toward the back,

Vegetable Flannel.
In view of the arrangements that are
being made for South, the utiliza ion of pine
straw in the the following ex¬
tract from an English textile paper is of
interest:
“ Vege able flannel is a texti’e mate¬
rial, now being largely manufacture 1 in
Germany, out of pine lea es. The fibre
is spun, knitted, and woven into under
gamien’s and clothing < f various kinds.
In the hospitals, penitentiaries, and bar¬
racks of Vienna and Breslau, blankets
made of tills material are exclusively
used. One of the chief a Wantages is
that no vermin will lo ige in them. The
material is also used as stuffing, closely

The Growth of Trees.
In the parish of Winfarthing are two
magnificent oak trefes, one of which is
known as the “Winfarthing Oak;” the
other is little inferior to it in magni
tnde, but appears to have been gener
allv passed over in favor of the more
celebiated tiee first mentioned. These
trees F. were the inspected by Robert Marsh am,
R. S., friend and correspondent
of Gilbert White, and a great agricul¬
turist, in the year 1744; and he has left
in his diary accuiafce measurements of
both.
T 'e larger tree measured a 7 tha f time
38 ft et 7 inches in circumference, and
the smaller uM 30 feet. In the year
1874, when these trees were measured
according to Marsham's method, the
larger tree was just smaller 4o feet in circumfer¬
ence. and the ?0 feet: it w.ll
thus be seen that one tree bad increase 1
17 inches in 130 years, whereas the other
had remained in statu quo.— London

JEFFERSON DAVIS DYING.
THE CONFEDERACY'S CHEIFTAIN SLOWLY
PASSING AWAY.
A special dispatch from New Orleans
under date of Friday, says: Mr. Jeffer
son Davis’ condition has again become
critical—more critical than it has lieon »t
any time since iiis present attack, and
even the members of his family admit,
for the first time, that the situa
tioa is very discouraging, but stid.
ciing to the hope that Mr.
Davis's wonderful vitality and recuper
ntive powers will pull him through. lie
shows, however, no regarded disposition to far rccup*
crate, and this is as more
serious thm the bronchitis and fever fiom
which he has suffered. Mr. Davis has
taken no food except beef tea, for
two weeks, and that iu such
small quantities r.s barely to keep the
patient alive. ITc has felt no desire for
food, and hns taken what was offered
him under protest. And thus, while ho
has been bettor one day than another,
and then worse again, he hns been grow*
ing weaker all the time, and has de¬
pended largely on stimulants for
strength. The bronchitis is now regarded
a8 simply . loci complaint. from tvlnoh
there is little to fear, but the dread is
that the long sickness from which Mr,
Davis has been suffering, the lack of
nourishment aid the fevers which hue
visited him from tiro to tim y may
produce meningitis or paralysis,
Mr. Davis is atthe residence of Justice
Fenner, of the State Supreme Court at
New Orleans,-and is attended by that
gentleman’s family, Mr*. Davis and lov
ing relatives and friends and Dr?.
Chaille and Zickbam, two of New Or
leans’ leading physicians. His daughter,
Mbs Winnie Davis, left two months ago
on a trip through Europe for her health,
accompanied by 7 a patty of friends. She
is believed to be now at Paris. The res
idence of Mr. Davis is at Beauvoir, be
tween Biloxi and Ocean Springs, Miss.,
a beautiful place on the gulf coast. While
in New Orleans Mr. Davis was taken sick,
first with bronchitis, then with pneu
monia and fever added, which, with loss
of sleep, his eighty-one yeais and natur¬
ally feeble constitution threatened to
terminate his life, ns his little remaining
strength was rapidly departing. A fav¬
orable change then came for a few days
with better nights rest and absence of
fever. But strength returned very slow¬
ly. Two days ago he had a relapse
accompanied by fever and the old sym
toms of sickness and loss of sleep.
This is his condition at present.

ALABAMA JUTE.
ANEW AND VALUABLE WEED DISCOVERED
THAT DISCOUNTS JUTE.
The Birmingham Age Herald Fuller reports
the discovery by Mr. F. J. of a
valuable weed growing w’ild in Jefferson
county, Ala., or rather an important use
for it. He calls it “Alabama jute,” and
he exhibited strips of the covering or
bark five feet in length, stronger by far
than jute,and finer. Mr. Fuller stripped said that
the bark could be easily from
the stem, and wren passed through an
ordinary cine mill, would come out al¬
most clean. He thought that the weed,
growing wild, would yield a thousand
pounds of fibre per acre, and this could
be largely increased by cultivation. He
was confident that he had discovered a
substitute better thau jute for cotton
bagging, and one which would add a
new product to every southern farm and
prove a great saviDg to cotton planters.
A Sr. Louis man has an idea
if he Is able to fully de el op it, w.ll make
him famous. His idea is that the sound
wa es,-whose euros are cut upon the
s be nt (ylinders pulated of the phi nograph, can
so other man tint by magnifying finally or
Mime be means they can
read from the cylinder like the words
of a bo k, without the aid of an a ticu
lat'ng phonograph. He siys: It is
kn wn that a comet makes a pecol'ar
1 no on the cylinder in soun ing a cer¬
tain note. The huo an voi e makes an¬
other k nd of 1 ne and the bs njo another.
The three together, str king the same
n te, n ake a fourth kind of 1 line, j lie
other sound will vary in the same way,
and all the < ifibrem es can be plainly
teen as t e lines aio compared o.i the
cy inder. Is it po sible that a ' o ab.i
!ary t an be made of these lnes? The
St. Louis n;an think so.

their patrons, and will have families ot

daughters a musical education, receive and in this
way the Teacher will a more liberal
patronage. The expense of sheet music
