Taris, Nov. 3.—Paris dressmakers ore in
a llutter of excitement this week, for they
ar.* hoxing and shipping gowns for the
New York horse show, which begins Nov.
13. There are more dresses sent over for
this event than for the Patriarch's ball,
and more designs come out of the work
shops of the artistic head of the great
ladles' designing establishments for this
event than for that of an international
wedding.
American society takes its start for the
season of 1897-'9B from the horse show,
and the fashions you see there will be the
ones that will prevail all winter. Of this
we are assured.

says one. "My bouquet will be corn col
ored Japanese flowers,” says another,
which means also that she will wear
chrysanthemums.
Several very elegant driving coats have
been sent over for wear during the after
noon. Women who go to the horse show,
you must know, have a special toilet for
the evening which is quite different from
the afternoon array. It is understood that
these long cloaks have been sent over to
Mrs. C. Oliver Iselin Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt, Jr., who is evidently going to take-'
a conspicuous part in the season’s enter
tainment, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney
and Mrs. George Gould.
The cloaks are cut nearly all on the same
lines. Loose at the waist, slightly in
creasing in size from neck to hem, with a
very gradual tapering at the waist. They
are of light hroadcioth, almost white, with
collar of deeper shade. They are double
breasted and button down the front with
white pearl buttons. Shorter cloaks of the
same pattern are also worn.
The evening style embrace trimmed
skirts and overskirts. One of these is
a fine goods shirred upon tiny bands of
black satin ribbon, which Is woven in
the goods. This overskirt is short on
one side and very long on the other and
trimmed with taffeta ruffles or reseda.
Another dress of damson cloth has a
passementerie design on each side in
black jet. Deep flounces of damson silk
trim the sides and back, thus giving an
overskirt effect in the back Instead of
the front.
liorse show hats are picturesque. They
Brf -' in a way picture hats, although they
are not so very large. One of the most
noticeable of these is of black chenille and

and filled in the back with silk chrysan
themums and plied high in the front with

from the front and backward. These cost

It was trimmed round with six bands of
narrow black velvet. From under the
arms came two strips of the green gauze
that were draped to the front of the cor
sage, and hung in long loops that reached
the girdle.
The lower edge of these strips was
adorned with loops of the black velvet.
The sleeves were draped from the wrists
to the armhole seams, and between the
elbows and tha shoulders there were
bands of black velvet ribbons and bows
that were tied on the top of the sleeve.
The tall crush collar and the girdle were
of black velvet. The collar was mounted
by a frill of white gauze. Frills of the
gauze gave a flnsh to the bottom of the
sleeves. Nina Goodwin.
MAKING A NEWSPAPER,
Don- tlfe Office Boy Explain* It to the
Rural Bride and Groom.
From the Fourth Estate.
The rural bride and groom timidly ap
proached the elevator leading up into the
building wherein was located a great city
daily, and the man asked the elevator boy,
"How d’y'?”
" ‘D evenin’," responded the boy, In a
manner which made the shrinking bride
cling to the arm of her long, green hus
band.
“We’re in town on our weddln’ trip,
kinder,” he said, blushtngly, “and me and
Mattie thought as we was seein’ the sightj
we oughter see the newspaper office, too.
Our parents has been takin’ your weekly
for a good many years.”
“That’s right,” said the elevator boy,
encouragingly, “the people will be glad
you did, but I haven’t got time to show
you around. Here's the office boy, though,
and he’s an expert in that business, he is.
Ain’t you. Snips?”
Snips being appealed to, came out from
somewhere he had no business to be, and
assumed importance.
“What I don’t know about the newspa
per business, mister,” he said, ”1 guess
you won’t find around here. It's an hour
till midnight, when I go on watch, and If
you make it worth while I'll show you
everything.
A bargain was struck.
“Now,” said the office boy, “follow me,
and when I’m done with you if you don't
say you got more for the money than ever
you did before in your life I’ll say you
don’t know punkins when the leaves is
off the vines.”
This homely reference brought a smile
to the bride's cheek, and she followed the
boy and her husband down into a cellar
with more confidence than she felt at first.
"I brought you down here so's you could
see the engine,” the boy explained, “and
then you wouldn’t have to come down here
any more, for it ain’t very clean and pur
ty for the lady.” The lady looked her
thanks. “You see, there’s four b’ilers.”
■''Bout the same as sawmill b’ilers. I
reckon,” said the groom, as if he were
not greatly impressed.
“Well, there’s two hat'rles of ’em,” said

the boy, not knowing a sawmill from a
washboiler.
“They ain’t like that in a sawmill,” said
the visitor.
“I should say they wasn’t. There’s a
a good deal more difference than that,
you will find, between a sawmill and a
newspaper.” continued the guide, in a
more or less triumphant tone, turning to
go out of the engine room.
“Now, that through yonder," he said,
pointing out from the elevator, “Is the
countin’ room—”
“Where they count the papers?” inter
rupted the groom.
“Naw,” said the boy, “where they count
the money. That’s the business office
There’s some people that thinks its pleas

tackle it once they find Its business

“ 'Pears to me it would be Just the kind
of pleasure I was lookin' for. to count
money,” ventured the groom, with the
manner of a rural rooster getting off a
joke.
“I guess not. ef you was countin’ it out
instead of In,” said the boy. There’s two
ways of countin’.”
Going up to the top floor, the office boy
held a whispered conversation with the
elevator boy, the feature of which was
that the office boy ha/1 a lead pipe cinch.
“That part in there,” explained the boy,
as he ranged his people up in front of the
door leading Into the hall to the editorial
rooms, "is where they keep the brains;
end this one over here,” pointing to the
reportorinl department, ”is where they
keep the legs."
The bride gave a nervous start, fearing
she had got into the room of a
medical college.
‘ That's only a Joke they have,” explain
ed the boy, when he saw he might be mis
understood. "You see, them’s editors in
there, that writes with their pens what
they thinks out and finds in other papers
and books and places, an l ihese others is
reporters, that writes mostly with their
legs when the city editor sturts ’em out
to walk a mile and write a line.”
“Will you ever he one?” asked the bride,
diffidently.
"I'd just as lief as not. ma’am,” he said,
modestly, “but office boys don't most usu
ally seem to have that kind of style about
’em.”
“Where does the man stajf that writes
the jokes?” asked groom.
”He stays at home,” grimed the boy.
“Ef he stayed around the office some-
Jaody'd kill him.”
“See that door over there?” said the
guide, pointing to a mysterious looking
aperture in the wall. "Well, that's the
‘old man's’ den."
“Who’s he?" asked the groom. ‘That
man that signs himself ‘we’?”
“Thai’s him,” said the boy, admiringly.
“He's the grand mogul—the boss—the old
man;” and the boy gazed on the closed
door with reverence akin to awe.
"Well, I'd like to see him,” said the
groom, bravely stepping toward the door.
"Are you armed?” asked the guide, in
terposing himself in the caller’s path.
“No; what’s that got to do with it?”
"Nothin’, only ef you go in there at this
time of night your honeymoon is mighty
likely to be turned Into a funeral proces
sion, and the old man won't be chief
mourner netlher.”^
“He must think a heap of himself," ven
ured the visitor, in a disappointed tone.
“He does. He thinks more of hisself
than all the rest of the fellers does, but
that don’t make the paper none the wors
ter, I guess. He gimme a quarter th’
other day extry fer doin’ something fer
him, and cussed me fifty cents worth fer
not doin’ It like he wanted it.”
“Who writes the love stories?” the bride
sweetly inquired.
"They don't write ’em, ma’am. You see,
they got a machine down stairs that they
grind the poetry out of, and when they
want love stories they throw in a little
extry ink and paper and a honeysuckle or
two, and then they get love stories out of
them.”
“Oh, can we see them?” she asked, eag
erly.
“I was just goin' that way, ma'am,”
bowed the guide, and led them off to the
composing room, where the typesetting
machines were making night hideous.
At the door the boy left them for a mo
ment, and spoke to tltb foreman.
“The gent in charge, ma'am,” reported
the boy, "says they are busy now making
poetry, but if you’ll come back at 4 o’clock
in the morning they will be doin’ the love
stories. You can see, though, how they
do it,” and he took them around to several
machines. '*
"In there.” he said, stopping on the
way, "is where they stereotype. But you
'don’t care for that. What you want is
to let the lady see the press go ’round.”
One of the presses watt go.ng when they
reached the room, boy held a
council with the pressman.
“Sorry,” he said, rejoining his guests,
“but the whole shooting match won’t be
ready till two or three hours yet; but
you can *ee what this one is at. Now,
when the whole thing 4* goin’ she prints
two millions a hour."
"How long do you run the thing?" ask
ed the groom, showing more suprise than
at anything he had previously heard.
The boy consulted the foreman.
“About two hours and twenty minutes,”
he said.
"That * between four and five millions
circulation, ain't it?” inquired the groom.
"That’s what,” said the boy, with su
preme confidence.
The groom seemed to be shaking his
head as the l>oy told him other tilings and
snowed him the sight of early morning ac
tivity, which was at present gloomy and
still, and finally the bridal party, after
squaring with the guide, departed, and
the boy returned to his friend at the ele
vator.
“Yep, and they swallowed everything I
told ’em, essept about the number of pa
pers them presses runs off, and when I
give him (he steer I did he looked at me
as if he thought I was the circulation ed
itor. Do I look it, Tommy?"
INSENSIBLE I’D PAIN.
Carious Way* in Which It I* Secnrcd
Without the l sc of Anesthetic*.
Front the Pittsburg Dispatch.
An interesting point has been brought
out In the discussion of the dental section
of a medical association oil cataphoresis.
Cataphoresis is the most modern method
of causing the tooth and gums or any
part of the body to become insensible to
pain. The ordinary method of tts exhibi
tion Is to saturate a piece of cotton with
cocaine and apply the cotton containing
electrode to the part to he Influenced, a
weak electric current being turned on in
the meantime. In from one and a half to
ten minutes the part becomes "obtunded,"
or benumbed.
A dentist who took part In the discussion
said that he had held back—much to the
surprise of some of his professional breth
ren—from the active recognition of cata
phoresis in dentistry, and ho would now
enlighten the association as to his reasons
for doing so. The ’extraction of teeth by
electricity was common as far back as
1856, but the real cause of any merit in
that method was that the shock produc
ed at the Instant the forceps were applied
produced a diversion of the will forue by
causing a sudden and violent inhalation
into the lungs. While the lungs remained
inflated the effect was excellent, for the
senses were, for the instant, submerged
or subjugated. He discovered that the act
ual insensibility to pain arose from the
sudden inhalation of air, and thenceforth
abandoned the use of electricity and de
pended upon rapid breathing alone, in
conclusion, he said to his confreres: "You
now know why I abandoned electricity for
ohtunding sensitive dentine and for ex
tracting, for this revelation of how nature
relievos gave me the clew to the brighter
step which dentists have been slow to re
cognize as a fact. Had they done so, then
you would not to-day be looking for any
other agent in most of the cases that It
is our lot to have."
Subsequently another practitioner stated
that he had made frequent use of the rap
id-breathing method to obtund pain for
some sixteen years, and he thought tf the
real effect of rapid breathing were better
understood It might have a wider applica
tion than in dental practice. There are
many ways In which a state of disordina
tion of the nerves of feeling may be pro-
duied so that they will not carry the sen
sation of pain to the brain, and thus pro
duce anesthesia. The way quiek breathing
acts seems to be by diverting the atten
tion from the operation to the effort to
breathe quickly. In hypnotism sleep is
caused by occupying the patient's atten
tion* and thus dlsordinatlng the centers
of mentality and the centers of sensation,
so that they do not work together. A case
is reported from tumor operation in which
the man was made to hold the surgeon's
hand and maintain constant pressure.
This will make any one tired, and the ef
fort diverted the attention of the patient
from the pain of operation so fully that
the tumor was removed by ligation with
out any pain being felt, and without the
loss of consciousness at any time. All that
seems necessary is to fix the thoughts of
the patient closely on something else
while the pain lasts. This answers very
well when the tooth can be drawn instant
ly, hut if this or uny other operation has
to he prolonged, there Is no question that
cataphoresis Is the surest, simplest and
best method known of securing insensibil
ity to pain.
The Problem of Life.
Every sensible doctor knows that the
great problem of life and health Is a
problem of repair. If he could only find
some means to repair the rapid waste of
tissues in the human structure faster than
it goes on, there Is no disease which ho
could not conquer. He Is like the alchem
ists of olden times continually seeking the
one magical solvent which should turn all
things Into gold.
The wasting, lingering diseases which
come from deep-seated constitutional
weakness completely reverse all the nat
ural conditions of the organism. The
waste Increases to a frightful degree
while every normal process of repair Is
entirely suspended. The drugs which are
efficacious In some acute or merely local
troubles are of no avail. The average
"IF HE COULD ONLY FIND THE ONE MAGICAL SOLVENT.’*
practitioner has'nothing In his medicine
case which can cope with the disease.
It 1s In such cases as this that Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery reveals
Its extraordinary power of restoring na
ture to her proper balance. It has the re
markable property of reaching and arouß
ing the Innermost springs of vitality In
the human organism, enabling it to take
up again and carry on to completion its
own natural work of repair in spite of dis
ease.
"I have thought for a long time," writes
Mrs. Rosa Petty of Lockvllie, Chatham
county. North Carolina, “that I would not
do you Justice If I did not write and tell
you how I was cured of that dreadful dis
ease called consumption by using Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I had
measles and pneumonia both at the same
time, and came near dying, and as soon
as I was able to go out I was taken with
grip, and then followed consumption. My
physician did all he could for my relief,
but I received none. I tried everything
that I could hear of that was good for a
cough, but grew worse, and would have
died soon had I not commenced using the
'Golden Medical Discovery.’ I felt Im
proved before the first bottle was finished.
I took six bottles, and after that I felt
better and stronger than in ten years be
fore. That was six years ago, and to-dy
I do not feel any symptoms of a return
of the disease. I remam cured, and I
think I am the cause of a friend being
cured by using the same medicine. He
was afflicted like I was, and after every
thing else failed to cure him he took Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
was cured.”
This wonderful “Discovery” begins Its
marvelous repairing process at the very
foundations of life in the nutritive sys
tem; it gives the digestive functions power
to extract nourishment from food and
transform It into rich tissue-building
blood. It charges the entire circulating
system with the vital red corpJscles which
repair Inflamed throat and bronchial pass
ages; heal and renew worn out lung fab
ric; create healthy substantial flesh, mus
cular force, and nerve power.
It energizes and rejuvenates the entire
system; drives out Impurities, restores
strength, capacity and mental buoyancy;
rounds out sunken form* and gives fresh
color to pale cheeks. No other remedial
agent known to medical science is so mar
velously efficacious in bringing back com
plete, robust, permanent health to the
weak and suffering.
Mr. A. W. McMillan of iShlloh Church,
Sevier county, Tennessee, writes: “I am
over 58 years of age. One year ago I was
prostrated, and from that date until the
15th of the following Janua'ry I was treat
ed by two as good physicians as there are
In the country. They pronounced my dis
ease thickening of the walls of the stom
ach, a sloughing off of the mucous lining
of the stomach, enlargement of the liver,
neuralgia of the stomach, and ulceration
of the bowels. I had frequent attacks of
biliousness and was badly constipated.
Thus matters stood until January, 1895.
The doctors were doing me no good. Pre
pared chalk, Dover's powders, calomel
would not reach my case. My wife now
got me a bottie of Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery and a vial of his Pleas
ant Pellets.
“The medicine taken, my wife said I
was better, or at least was holding my
own. She went back and got another sup
ply. I took the medicine and then could
see for myself that I was gaining. I have
used In all twelve bottles of ‘Golden Medi
cal Discovery' and also some of ’Pellets.’
My biliousness has left me, constipation
is gone and I am as regular In my bowels
as I ever was. I was almost a skeleton.
I lived for months on boiled milk, but now
I can eat a little of anything I want, sleep
well, go anywhere I want to, visit my
children and friends, and look after my
business. In fact, ’Richard is (nearly*
himself again,' In May after I was able
PAGES 17 TO 20.
to sit up a little I weighed 116 pounds, in
August 122, in October 132.”
When a man’s liver is out of order he
is ripe for almost any disease that hap*
pens along. His entire constitution is in
a state of receptivity and is ready for con
tagion of any description. The “Golden
Medical Discovery” is the best of all
known liver invigorators. It will put the
laziest of ilvers on a
makes your liver lively and your blood
pure. It is the best of spring medicine.
“1 had been troubled for several years
with spells of liver complaint,” writes H.
N. Dransfleld, Esq., of Centennial, Mon*
roe county. West Virginia, “and about
two years ago my health gave way. I
tried Sarsaparilla. I was getting worse
all the lime, r had a weakness In my left
side and limbs, palpitation of the heart
at times, cramping pains in the stomach
after eating; nerves weak, and no energy
for anything. I took Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery, and began to mend
from the start. I soon felt like anew
person. I am now enjoying splendid
health and have a splendid appetite, good
digestion, and also a peaceful, quiet
mind.”

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.
Theorists Sometimes Itndely Shock
ed In Smlrien Emergencies.
From the Boston Transcript.
Apropos of the question of cruelty to an
imals, a correspondent sends this story:
Two men were walking along a shady path
In the woods of Northern New Hampshire
recently. One of the men owned a beauti
ful dog, and the animal was bounding
along In advance of them, sniffing here and
fliore, and looking frequently up Into the
branches of the tall oaks which lined the
way. The men were conversing. Mr.
Hotchkiss was talking about his love for
all animated nature. His companion agreed
with him In that It was a downright shame
to kill or abuse helpless animals of any
description. The harking of the dog in
terrupted them. Mr. Hotchkiss spoke in
u vexed and angry tone, and, striding for
ward, he seized a piece of dead wood lying
near. “See that dog worrying that poor
squirrel!” said he. "It makes me so mad
I could kill the dog!”
This somehow reminds the Listener of a
speculation into which he was once plung
ed by the conduct of a favorite cat. The
cat, which was a superb blick one. wore
about liis neck a collar, to which the
children had attached a little tinkling bell.
One day, in the garden, the Listener saw
the cat creeping up on a bird In a bush.
To prevent the tinkling of the bell from
warning the bird, the cat was creeping
with such a slow and steady movement
that the he.U was not shaken a bit, and
was perfectly silent. It was an admirable
performance. The bird must have seen the
cat, but acted as If charmed. Then the Lis
tener wondered ‘‘ls it my duty, as a hu
mane person, to moke a noise and scare
away that bird, so that It shall not be
caught and eaten?” It occurred to him
that it might he Inhumane to the cat, af
teT all the pains and skill involved In
keeping that bell still, to Interfere with
his performance. It might be a shock to
the whole physical and moral system to
scare away the bird at that moment. One
should beware of Interference with the es
tablished economy of nature.
And yet It could not be said that the cat
needed the bird. He had abundance of
food given him every day at the house.
His attack on the bird was mere wanton
destruction—n killing for the fun of It, no
more Justifiable than men's hunting. It
would be right to warn the bird. And yet
who could blame the cat for obeying his
most essential instinct? He had no moral
responsibility; his right to kill the bird
was derived from the organic law of na
ture. This was true as to the cat; but
did his natural right relieve the human
observer from the obligation of humanity?
Clearly, he was bound—
Bflt at this Juncture the cat sprang
swiftly through the air—the bird fluttered
—too late! The cat had It in his Jaws, and
made oft with It.
