Paris, Jan. 1, 1897.—The children of Paris
s.rs kept in a little world of their own un
til they are grown up and ready to be mar
ried; then they step all of a sudden lute
full womanhood. Before this age, which
is nearly twenty, they are mere babies,
knowing nothing of the great, wicked
city, beyond the peaceful parks and the
sunny nurseries. Of the great world of
fashion and gowns they are equally igno
rant.
But that does not prevent the women of
Paris from gowning their children in a
very fashionable way. Parisians are so
tasteful, so to-tho-manner fashionable
that it would be impossible for them to
make a dowdy article of dress even for a
growing child.
Growing girls in Paris are fortunate.
They have modes made for them, and thiy
are catered to by couturieres who do noth
ing else. These couturieres are very high
priced, so (hat not all Parisian mothers
can g;o to them, but I’aris is full of handy
little'seamstresses who copy the work of
the high-priced couturieres so faithfully
that it passes for the original.
American mothers are very extravagant
with their children's clothes. They buy
new goods and pay fancy prices for thorn,
while a French mother will give her seum
stress two old gowns and tell her to do
her best with the material before her.
All gowns for French children's dresses
bearing the Paris stamp are, consequent
ly. made of two fabrics, 'i'hcy are the re
sult of economy, but are so pleasingly
adapted that you do not suspect the fact.
The materials are good, and after all the
little dresses are better for being made of
two kinds of goods, even though mother
has worn it for a year or two before.
Five little dresses hung upon the rack of
a couturiere who makes children's clothes
for people with money. They were order
ed for a little child whom Mrs. Bradley-
Martin is “mothering." The little one Is
wealthy in her own right and secures the
tinest children's dresses that are made in
Paris. Yet how simple and unaffected tho
gowns are; hardly worthy, you would say.
the expensive price mark that is placed
upon them.
One of the prettiest of the five was a
wood-colored corduroy skirt, with waist
of same. The sleeves were in tan cloth,
with cuffs of corduroy. The neck had a
One woiy a play-dress of figured flannel. The other a cream wash cashmere.
scarlet cloth yoke only three inches deep
set In front and back, and the skirt was
faced with scarlet. Metal clasps fastened
the waist at neck and yoke.
Another little gown was a full affair foil
ing from a deep yoke. It was made quite
godet in the back to give a pleasing hang,
and the front was sraight in its fail. It
was of olivine-colored cashmere. The only
trimming was a piping of blue tft-ound the
skirt and neck.
Two little girls, Americans, who are at
tending school in Paris while their parents
lead gay society lives, were seen playing
In a sunny nursery on (he ground floor of
a beautiful house. They were dressed
"like fashion plates,” yet in the most sen
sible way that could be devised, wash ma
terials and comfortable modes.
One wore a play dress of figured flannel,
the color an invisible blue, with cream
colored figures, like small flowers,. The
skirt was joined to a surplice waist with a
band of the goods. Steel buckles covered
the side fastenings of the skirt.
Tl> waist had an underbody of the flan
nel hooking straight from neck to bell.
Over this there crossed the surplice pieces.
The sleeves were full balloons, with plenty
of room for the elbow.
The only trimming upon this simple lit
tle dress was an epaulet of white silk,
upon which were sewed overlapping rows
of narrow Valenciennes lace. Both silk
and lace could be washed. The neck was
■ crush of blue ribbon with a liny chemi
sette of the silk and lace attached. Two
small squares of the same trimmed the
skirt.
This little gown might he made of any
figured stuff, and the skirt could be differ
ent front the surplice waist. In this way
old go&na could he easily utilised without
causing/ the little malil any mortification
of spirit.
One rather peculiar fashion Is followed
by French women and by Americans edu
cating their children here—that of leaving
the arnf bare winter and summer. Young
women in society habitually wear the el
how sleeve for dinner and evening and
they suffer no cold therefrom. Short
sleeves are convenient for the younger
members of the family, and their dresses
are universally made that way. The style
has one advantage—the sleeves do not cut
through at the elbow.
Another little dress was a cream cash
mere. It was in one piece throughout end
buttoned quite simply down the buck
Around the foot of the skirt there was a
deep embroidery in colored silks, every
shade of which would wash. This laun
dering quality Is observable upon most of
the dresses of children; and the small girl
need not worry about spotting her dress
at play.
1 rom the arm-holes*of this cream cash
mere there extended a small vest of deep
green cashmere, which hooked over the
front under a silk rosette .The same finish
was upon the elbow sleeves. To give shape
to the dress at the waist line there were
-Uraps of metallic belting going six times
around the waist. An embroidered yoke
and collar completed the details of this
very well adapted little gown.
Metallic ribbon Is used much upon chil
dren s dresses. It has several great ad
vantages. it is cheap. It wears well and it
is pleasing to a little girl, as giving her a
dressed-up air. Silver metallic ribbon can
tie purchased for a feu cents a yarT.
Broad silvered In-aiding answers the same
purpose, and a little of it carried around a
small girl's waist gives the ribbon finish
to an otherwise plain gown. Gold ribbon
can be used in the same way.
The question of figure was taken boldly
by the horns by a woman whose private
dancing class for her own daughter is
shared lay the most aristocratic little heir
esses of Paris. No fine toilets are w-orn, as
Paris children do not know what style is,
but the little ones present the most at
tractive appearance that can be imagined.
In figure and material their gowning is
ideal.
The little daughter of the hostess, who
is a girl of twelve years, of the most im
possible ligure, being short and stout,
wore last week a dress of figured French
-hallle.lts groundwork was dahlia red with
figures in white and green. It was only a
plain little material, but Its grace lay in
ts treatment. The dress had a deep yoke
of pale green silk, from which the skirt
hung—full In the back, scant in the front.
The sleeves were very large. Beginning
at a point Just under the arms, there was
a narrow green ribbon carried at least ten
times loosely around the dress and caught
each time around with a small pearl but
ton. Finally the ribbon hung in font
streamers to the hem of the skirt.
Children's hats are very soft and farge.
They are Gainsborough and Marlborough,
with a generous sprinkling of the Tam
O'Shanter and the beret. The foundation
of ull is cloth with a wired edge. The
baggy hat, with its tight-fitting head
piece, Is seen in all its variations.
A woman with four little girls to dress
purchased at a very elaborate couturlere's
a fine beret to tit her largest girl. This she
ripped apart, and from the pattern thus
made, cut enough to lit all the members
of her girl family. The hats were of dif
ferent materials and colors, and different
ly trimmed, so that there was no un
pleasant sameness. Any one possessing a
good "Tam" pattern could fashion the be
ret, which is a little larger in the crown.
The materials for children's dresses con
tinue to he cashmere and flannel. For fine
little gowns, or very durable ones, the
brigantine is liked, also the Irish poplin,
which ts coming in with a great rage
here.
For nice wear a pale gray Irish poplin,
trimmed with pink piping at the arm holes,
tind strapped with pink upon skirt and
sleeves, was worn by a little, miss whose
waist was finished with a band of pink
ribbon drawn through a buckle of gold.
The sash is not greatly worn. The crush
licit has taken Its place completely and the
sash is voted bulky and expensive.
Children's coiffures arc low and confined.
The flowing hair i.i untidy. A popular
style for (he short haired girl Is to tie the
haic at the nape of the neck and curl the
ends outward and upward. This gives a
full pleasing hair effect to the sides of the
face. Taller girls with longer hair drupe

Tli** I niileassni Experience of Three
Men in nn Pmmlnnril Coal.l’ll.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Glouster, O.—Three men were brought
to .town yesterday morning in a patrol
wagon and placed in the city hospital for
treatment who were at the next door to
death. Their names are Duke Fulton,
James Packard, and Charles Makes, all
coal miners, and their narration of their
existence for the past few days is remark-
able.
A week ago Friday the mine at which
they had employment did not work, and
the trio decided to go across the hills upon
a hunting expedition. A start was made
long before day.lght, and by the time Fri
day's sun began to appear at the summit
of the barren eastern hills the seekers for
game had reached a point about four miles
northwest of Glouster and close to the
opening of the old, deserted Great Dia
mond coal mines. The Great Diamond
ceased operations about three years ago
because of a difficulty between the opera
tors and employes, and since then the
mine lias been entirely neg.ected, and
whenever rain descends a large quantity
of water flows into the moyth of the great
cavern.
Packard made the suggestion that the
party go down into and Inspect the seclud
ed quarters that had once given room for
work to something like 150 laborers, and
the other two men eagerly assented to the
spoken arrangement. The cage that had
once carried the coal and the miners from
the pit of the mine to the outside world
lay at the bottom, decayed and worthless,
and the explorers had to climb down the
perpendicular ladder of the air passage—
the only other opening of the mine—to get
below the surface of mother earth
and review the mysteries that always
hang about the Interior of a coalpit.
The three men, is all miners genet Wily
do when on an expedition that would
probably require a part of the night be
fore home would bo reached, were wear
ing their regular lantern-supplied caps,
which they used when at work In the
mines, and when they reached the bottom
of the ladder they set out on a short trip
through the main section, which is one
of the largest in Southern Ohio, and ex
tends almost two miles In an easterly di
rection.
Maltes and Packard had been former
employes of the mine, and it was decided
that a visit he paid to a noted spring of
pure water that had once been the pride
and delight of scores of workmen In form
er years. The liquid was said to huve
been the most excellent ever drank by
those who tasted it. The spring was al
most twenty-four leet In depth, and the
water was clear enough that by the aid
of proper lights the bottom could easily
be seen.
The three men traveled on for an hour
or so, and it shortly became apparent to
Maltes und Packard (hat they were pur
suing the w rung course, as no sign of a
spring had been observed. They retraced
their steps through the long. dungeon-Uke
passage, and, through a miscalculation,
got started Into a path entirely unknown.
Slowly they turned around, keeping a
hold of each other's hand, hut the more
tin y attempted to find the proposed main
hull of the mine the worse they became
confused, and at last they were compelled
to believe that they were lost In the great
cavern In the midst of hundreds of wind

Fulton, JJathes and Packard are young
men between 20 and 25, and bravely they
rushed through the maddening darkness,
faintly penetrated by their mite of cap

hoping against hope that something would

escape. Once the lost adventurers passed
by a den, which they claimed to have
been the home of hundreds of rattle
snakes. The men had heard the sound of
a chorus of hisses, and in an ecstasy of
joy and uncontrollable delight hugged
each other, thinking that the noise of
the serpents was made by the spring of
water. They struck matches anil gazed
through an opening in the slate, and were
horrified as the creatures, attracted by the
lights, made a rush toward the opening of
the room where the miners stood. The
frightened men broke hands and ran a
long distance, hallooing in loud voices,
and when exhausted by the terrible strain
upon their nerves they dropped down. The
men do not know whether the reptiles
pursued at ull.
The suffering of the young men drove
them into temporary fits of madness. For
a while one would shriek out In unearthly
tones some disconnected words. At times
the three would fight among themselves
ill maniac earnestness and declare death
to one another, and when they would be
come temporarily played out they would
wrap their nrnis around each other’s neck
and rain kisses upon the faces and necks.
Thoir lights gave out within twenty-four
hours, and, with the exception of a few
matches which they had, for over HO
hours they were In dense darkness. With
out water and food, they finally gave up
every hope of over leaving the tomb nnd
decided to make no further attempt to
av.t their lives. When they came to this
decision, a- Mat lies puts It, they lay down
side by side with their tongues parched
so dry that they could scarcely whisper.

final determination to give up their exist
ence without further struggles the tnon

ments. he went into a semi-doze and pass
ed through a dream terrible In its make

able to control himself, he rushed away
from his companions, lit- went but a short
way before he ran across the fountain
that had been first hunted for by the three
und, insane with the Joy of the scene, he
jumped into the crystal pool and bathed
himself time and time again with the re
freshing fluid. The water seemingly had
a powerful effect in refreshing Mathes;
and, afterward awakening his comrades,
they aii drank from the basin of water,
which saved their lives.
It required but little trouble for Mathes
and Packard to get upon the main route
from the spring, which they had ofttimes
followed a few years before, and the bot
tom of the air passage to the top was
safely reached without the starved and
nearly totally exhausted men losing their
way. How they got to the top, being, as
they were, in this weakened condition, no
one could ably prophecy, as it requires
the efforts of a strong man to lift himself
from one rung of the ladder to another,
situated, as they are, about five feet apart.
Put they reached the surface of earth
again, never so beautiful as it appeared
just at the break of day, Saturday morn
ing. to their gaze.
Riley Tullis, a farmer boy, passed by
with a drove of cows, and noticing the
emancipated bits of humanity lying near
by, investigated the case. Riley's father
telephoned to the police authorities of this
city the terrible condition of the men, and
a wagon tilled with blankets and straw'
was sent across the hills to bring the un
fortunate adventurers to their native vil
lage.
RAIIIES-PROOF DOGS.
A Simple Operation Performed !>>
Mr. Lawyer's Fnther With Great
Saeees*.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Mr. E. J. Lawyer, state fire marshal,
who has been interested in the children
who were sent to the Pasteur Institute to
be treated for the bite of a mad dog, said
yesterday:
“My father, William Lawyer, who is an
old man, has always been fond of dogs
and he has always perfomed an opera
tion on all the animais he has owned to
prevent them from having the rabies. He
has had but one animal affected, and in
this case he failed to take the precaution
as he had done with the other dogs.
“When he was 17 years of age a German
blacksmith, who lived at Hanover, Pa.,
ow'ned two puppies. He called my father
one day and said: ‘William, I will show
you something which will always be of
use to you.’ Taking one of the dogs, the
blacksmith placed it in a boot top, and,
pulling its mouth open, pulled the animal's
tongue out. Then he took a sharp knife
and made a slit under the dog's tongue,
then took an awl and forced out a small
worm. When he had completed the opera
tion the blacksmith asked father to try
his hand on the other animal, which he
did. The blacksmith then said: ‘These
dogs will never have the hydrophobia. If
they are bitten by a mad dog their jaws
will lock and they will not be able to open
them.’ ”
The fire marshal said his father had
taken the precuatlon to follow the black
smith's advice. One of his dogs, which
had been treated by this process, was bit
ten by a dog which was mad, and in a
few days the mouth of Mr. Lawyer’s dog
became locked and the animal died with
out inflicting any injury to any one.
Mr. Lawyer says he would like to have
some of the medical fraternity experi
ment with two dogs, taking the worm from
the tongue of one and leaving it in the
tongue of the other, then inoculating both
with the virus from a dog known to have
been affected with the rabies.
OSTRICH Hl >TIXG.
Proflinble Sport Tlint I* Milking the
Ririls Scarce.
From the Paris t’nivers Illustre.
An ostrich chase is very attractive
sport; or rather the sale of booty is no
great as to attract hunters. The Arabs
give themselves to it with a real passion.
Mounted on their fine little horses, they
try as much as possible to fatigue the os
trich, for as it is eight feet high and has
very strong legs it possesses a quickness
of movement which the best horse cannot
attain. It has great endurance, overtaken
by the hunter, it seeks to defend Itself
with its feet and wings, but more often It
still strives to escape by flight, uttering
a plaintive cry. In fact, the ostrich is
deprived of the power of fight by reason
of its great size. The muscular force
with which nature has endowed it is not
equal to lifting such a weight. Its pecu
liar organization has made it the courier
of the desert, where it Is able to quickly
traverse the almost limitless expanse. The
Arab knows very well that it Is the habit
of the ostrich to make great detours about
Us nest in a circle. He chases it then
without ceasing until It is almost there,
when, worn out, it succumbs, concealing
Us head In the sand in order not to see
Us enemy, or instinctively hoping to es
cape a danger which It cannot see any
more. This chase requires eight or ten
hours, but it offers large rewards. The
plumes are worth a considerable sum, the
skin makes good ieathpr and the Arabs
are very fond of the flesh. Besides, In
spite of the fact that It reproduces its
species rapidly, the ostrich Is all the time
becoming rarer, and it is hunted for ex
port and domestication in other countries
It is one of Africa's great resources ami
may become anew source of prosperity
to Algerians If they are willing to make
the effort. The truth of the'popular .lay
ing, "the stomach of an ostrich, * has
been confirmed recently by uti autopsy on
one, doubtless for a time captive, when the
following was found in Us stomach; A
parasol handle, a glove, a handkerchief,
a pair of eye-glasses, a ring, a comb, three
large rocks, the necks of two beer bottles,
the sole of a shoe, a bell and a little har
monica.
