j /ar<T e Feet Look Best In Black.
■wjjen will women learn that big feet
look their best in black? Not iu shiny
Wack, like patent leather, which natur
ally attracts the eye, but in dull black,
me soft kid. They *can wear lovely
Uppers or low shoes of this kind iu the
morning. an< l L° r Ike evening a black
ea tia one is always good form. A very
ki<rh heel wilt not make a large foot look
small- It simply puts it upon a pedestal
ajid the lookers on have an opportunity
to measure its length. A black velvet
jlipper can only be worn by Cinderella,
ft ud the foot of Cinderella must be slen
der, else the pile of the velvet will make
It look thick. A large buckle is never
desirable, except with a slender foot and
T ery low instep; when there is a fine
arch a small buckle cr bow wants to be
adhered to, so that the natural beauty
may be shown to great advantage. —New

Bracelets and Sleeves.
“Bracelets are a drug in the market,”
said a New York manufacturer to a Sun
reporter. “Wo have not had any sales
in this country worth speaking of for
three years,” he continued, “but are
exporting a good many to Germany this
year. The reason the business is slow
here is because women are wearing long
sleeves and cuffs. Short sleeves are the
style in Germany now, and the demand
for bracelets is hr sk there. Next year
we will do a good domestic trade, for
short sleeves are coming in again here.
The first step toward them is the fashion
of pulling the sleeves at the shoulders
and elbows. Short sleeves and bracelets
will be the proper thing within six
months. We watch the changes iu sleeve
fashion closer in our business than the
ladies do themselves. It is very import
ant that we should know in advance
what kind of sleeves will be worn, and
go I know that next year there will bo a
big bracelet boom.”
The Bone Dish.
“Well,” said a lady to the Observer
yesterday, “I was at a dinner party last
night where all the latest kinks were
put in, and I was glad to find one that is
really sensible and a comfort. I don’t
care about eating my ice cream with a
fork, or about having a wonderful and
specially devised spoon for Komau
punch, or a new patent back-action fork
for my salad, or about seeing the olives
tied up with ribbons, or anout having
my napkin ( hanged four times during
the meal. I think lots of those frills are
tiresome, but I am glad to have a bone
dish.” “A bone dish!” echoed the be
nighted Observer. “Yes, don’t you
know how in England they are always
giving you in a sort of informal way an
extra plate, not changing your plate, but
letting you have two at once; at break
fast or lunch, to be sure, it is not so in
formal, it is there regularly for your but
ter —instead of the little sniffs of dishes
we use—and for anything else you want
it for, and you always do want it to re
ceive your bones and potato skins. I’ve
always thought that though we make so
much fU'S and elaboration in our swell
table arrangements, that nothing com
pensated for the comfort the English get
out of that extra plate. Now I found
last night that the latest tip-top touch is
this something, only of course with a
Yankee improvement. The bone dish is
now launched in America, but it is not
another round plate, but a long narrow
dish taking up much less room, and it is
for you to use as a receptacle for what
ever you don’t want on your plate. It is
a glorious comfort.”
A Southern Diuna.
But I must tell you of something that
lives and moves and has its being, writes
a Philadelphia Time* correspondent from
Alabama. In short, ft is a girl, not a
girl of the period, nor a typical girl of
thß South, but our own Diana, who can
drive like Jehu, ride and shoot like*a
cowboy, run like a professional and swim
like a duck. She will go rowing with
no company but her dog and gun, and
she can drop her oars, spring to her feet
with her gun, and shoot a marsh hen or
grosbeak without rocking the boat or
misplacing the oars. She sleeps on pit
lows of down from birds and ducks
killed by her own hand, and expects by
next spring to have enough feaihers of
the same kind to make a feather bed.
I neglected to mention what, perhaps,
is more remarkable than her other accom
plishments, that she can drive a nail
without mashing her fingers. Once, in
deed, she drove a nail to good purpose.
While studying for a prize at school she
was taken with a violent toothache. Her
mother forbade her going to school in
such violent pain, and there was no den
tist nearer than Mobile. So with a sud
den resolve she got a nail, and, holding
it against the tooth, sho drov-e it out (or
more likely in) with one blow of the
hammer, then went to school and won
the pri.e. She has kindly taught me
how to row with a good stroke and how
to swim with an inflated pillow case.
Now she would teach me how to shoot.
I can make ready and take aim, but when
the time comes to fire my fingers are so
occupied with stopping my ears that I
Cannot pull the trigger.
Diana knows every cattle mark in the
community. She owns quite a number
of sheep and cows, and can tell at a
glance if one ss missing. At present Di
ana’s most devoted admirer is a man who
can neither ride, drive, row nor swim,
■hoot a gun nor smoke a cigar. This
toay be the irony of fate, but I suspect it
is fat?, nevertheless, for she imagines
now that she drtests him, and that is
nsuallv one of the shadowa cost before
the coming event.
A New Industry For 'Women.
Cooking delicacies for the sick, with
a dainty perfection that cannot l e at
tained by large caterers or ordinary
cooks, is a comparatively new but very
popular industry, added to the list of
peculiar employments by which women
■reenabled to earn their living in New
York, One of the consignors of the
Woman’s i-.xchange has entire charge of
this special branch of cuisine, and has
coined dollars for herself, besides carry
ing comfort to many sullerers. i-he
failed entirely in the cake department at
the Exchange, but at the suggestion of
some friends she began the cooking oi
those delicacies which long practice had
»>ds her u adept and an artist in pre-
paring. Now the invalids in the richest
houses on the avenue, the boarders at the
Hoffman House and Brunswick, the sick
in various hospitals, and the delicate
friends of wealthy patrons among the
poor alike enjoy the same broths and
teas, iceland moss and blanc mange she
prepares, and which can be found no
where else so delicious in taste. Beef
tea, chicken and mutton broth and beef
juice, with various similar delicacies,
may be had at any time on a day’s notice
at the Exchange, and in cases of
emergency they are often prepared by
the lady during the night.
Many physicians in the city, under
standing the importance of suitable diet
for their patients, recommend to them
the food prepared by these women who
are by long practice proficient in the art
of serving. Another woman makes her
living preparing calf’s foot jelly for the
sick. Th s requires a longer notice than
the broths, as she sometimes experiences
some difficulty in obtaining the calves’
feet in the uptown markets, which ne
cessitates a half day’s journey among the
down town shops.
Still another gentlewoman prepares va
rious kinds of bread, brown bre*d, gra
ham, and heilth food bread, the latter
made from entire wheat. One customer,
a delicate man boarding at a very ele
gant uptown restaurant, consumed eight
loaves of health food bread a week
through the entire winter. A wealthy
lady in town has kept an old coachman
alive on the beef tea made by the gentle
spinster at the Woman's Exchange all
through the pa t summer, and another
lady ordered rolls and chicken broth
sent to a sick servant for many weeks,
until her recovery was announced. A
lady in Washington, learning of the ill
ness of a poor friend, ordered nourish
ing dainties sent to her through a long
illness. The kindness of rich women
continually manifests itself in this way.
Other women employ themselves very
lucratively in the preparation of pure
jellies, containing no gelatine, for inva
lids, and still others are occupied in the
making of w:ne and fruit cordials and
tonics for the sick and debilitated.
These women are almost without excep
tion ladies of wealth and refinement,
who, learning their dainty and womanly
art of invalid cuisine from experience
gained in the care of their own families,
nave a peculiar skill which cannot be ac
quired in any other way, and which
some sudden whirl in the wheel of for
tuno has caused them to employ for the
public good through the emptiness of a
private purse.— Now Yoid Sun.
Weddings Among Scandinavians
Wedding presents were extensively
given at most Scandinavians weddings,
and among the lower orders the parents
and friends presented the bride with a
pig, sheep or cow, and the groom with
a colt, dog, cat or goose. In days of
old, too, the husband made bis wife sev
eral presents, such as a pair of oxen for
the plow or a harnessed horse and arms.
This, we are told, was to signify that
she ought not to lead an idle and luxuri
ous life, but that she was to be a par
taker with him in his labors and a com
panion in dangers, which they were to
’share together in peace and war. The
yoked oxen, the caparisoned horse, and
the arms all served to instruct the women
how they were to lead their lite, and
how, perhaps, it might he terminated.
The arms were to be carefully preserved,
and, being ennobled by the use the hus
band made of them, were to be consigned
as portions for their daughter and to be
handed down to prosterity. At the
present day much enthusiasm is manife-t
--ed it a Swedish wcddingiti the bestowal
of presents of all kinds. Mr. Du
Chailiu, describing a wedding in Dale
carlia, says:
“Every one as he left put in the hands
of the bride some bank bills, which,
without looking at, she dropped into the
b g linen pouch on that occasion aj; her
side. This was the parting g.ft, and*
every guest, according to his means, gave
money to the bride. The girls of the
hamlet had heid a meeting, and all had
agreed that each should give exactly the
same sum. A popular bride often gets
a considerable amount in this manner,
which enabies her and her husband to
begin life quite cheerfully.”
It is customary, too, in Sweden on the
wedding day for the bride aud bride
groom to sit on a raised platform under
a canopy of si.k, all the wedding pres
ents being artistically arranged on a
bench covered with silk. A Swedish
bride also has her pockets filled with
bread, for according to a popular super
stition, it is supposed that every piece
she gives to the poor on her way to
church averts some misfortune, but the
person to whom she bestows it will not
eat it, as he thereby brings mistortune
on himself.
Few sights are more picturesque than
a peasant’s wedding in Norwuy. The
bride wears a crown and no end of trin
kets, which are leather for the occasion,
so that the “poorest woman in the land
has the gratification of appearing for one
day inherli e in a guise which she prob
ab.y thinks equal to that of a queen.”
bhe generally, too, remains dressed in
all her finery throughout the festive
merry-makings. As soon, too, as the
marriage ceremony is o er the house is
thrown open to ail friends and neighbors,
leastmg and dancing being kept up
somet.mes for several days. The bridal
crown is so constructed that by with
drawing a pin it opens and falls from the
head, this being a signal for the gay do
ings of the wedding to come to a close.
As soon, therefoie, as the bride drops
her crown the music is hushed aud the
guests depart. — Interior.
Fashion Notes.
Quaint-Gretchen cloaks for little girls
are in fashion.
The newest jerseys are made in the
directoire style.
Large velvet collars are a conspicuous
feature of the Winter wraps.
But few of the corsages of the present
time show a visible fasteuiug.
House vasts or tea jackets are made
of the new embroidered silks.
Fillets of ribbon to wear in the hair
with evening toilets a e imported.
rersiau cashmere silk with an imita
tion astraehan border i* converted into
novelties.
Redingotes and polonaises outnumber
the ba que dresses among the new im
portations.
Matelasse galloons are the novelty in
trimmings. They make rich borders for
cloth dresses.
Favorite designs in the uw brocades
are leaves of every possible shape con
veniently arranged.
The ideal doth costume of the pres
ent season is as severe in outline and
finish as a riding habit.
Handsome cloth costumes are made
with a Direetoire redingote of one color
opening over a skirt of another.
Some of the mo3t elegant of the Win
ter cloaks are very long, and are made
of the new cloths —matelasse velvet or
plush.
A tasty gown for a.young lady is made
of bright red ladies’ cloth, with a wide
belt of the same, and ruches of black
lace above the belt.
Mediaeval tea gowns with corset waist
and full skirt of six or seven breadths
are made of bengalino. Soft brocades
of pale blue, old rose, yellow, aud l,us
sian green are also in favor.
All bodices fit the figure very closely
Basques, Direetoiie rediugotes and polo
naises are about equally favored. The
first-named, however, display an endless
variety in style and decoration.
It is predicted that silk is to be again
generally worn. The prices of silk
goods are advancing, aud it will no
doubt Bl a long time befoio ladies can
purchase them at the very low prices of
the past two years.
A Monument Without an Inscription.
The monument to be erected in a Chi
cago cemetery by the Hon. John Went
worth, better known as “Long John”
Wentworth, has been finished by the
Hallowell Granite Company, and all the
stones shipped with the exception of the
main shaft, which now lies in the yard
near the railroad station. The material
is entirely of white Hallowell granite,
and the monument is plain in design.
The base is eighteen feet square and two
feet thick, anil Superintendent Hunt, of
the granite works says it is the largest
stone ever shipped in one piece. It could
not be transported by rail, but it was
necessary to ship it by vessel to New
York and thence by h uge through the
canal to Chicago. The second base is
eleven feet five inches square by one foot
six inches in thickness, The shaft is
four feet six inches square at the base,
fifty-five feet high and pyramidal in
shape. Its weight is seventy tons, and
two special cars are being constructed at
the Cortland car works to carry it, being
the largest stone ever shipped by rail in
this country. It will cost $ 0;000.
In speaking of his ma estic monument
recently, the old gentleman was asked
what inscription he intended to have
upon it.
“No inscription at all,” he answered.
“It’s going to be just like me, a plain,
unsophisticated monument. Then a
man’ll come along and say: ‘Who’s
monument is that?’ 't hen the man will
say: ‘Wentworth’s.’ ‘Who’s Went
worth?’ Then he’ll go and buy a biogra
phy aud find out. If my name is on it
he’ll simply say; ‘Oh, Wentworth,’ and
walk off and forget all about it.” —New
York Sun.
Spiders’ Webs Poor Thermometers.
“The spiders’ webs that one meets
these mornings in the fields and mead
xjws are not so indicative of the kind of
weather that we shall have through the
day as some suppose,” said a merchant
the other day. “It is not exactly true
that these spiderwebs are more abundant
on some mornings than on others, and
that they presage fair weather. As a
matter of fact during the latter half of
the summer, these webs are about as
abundant oue day as another, but they
are much more noticeable on some morn
ings than others, by reason of a heavy
dew which makes them mote cor.spcu
ous. They are especially noticeable on a
■ foggy morning.
‘‘These webs are little nets that catch
the fog. and on every little silken thread
is strung innumerable minute drops like
glass beads. After an hour of sunshine
tbe webs are apparently gone. But they
are still there, stretched above the grass,
at noon and at sunset, as abundant as
they were atsunr.se, and are then more
serviceable to the spiders because they
are invisible. The Hies and other insects
would avoid them in the m-oruing.
“Farmers consult these little webs os
regularly as they would a thermometer,
if they had one, and in many houses they
often take the place of that instrument.
A heavy dew occurs under a clear, cool
sky, and the night pretending a day ol
rain is Uiiiaily a dewle-s night. That
dew then means fair weather, and a co
pious dew disclo-es the spiders’ webs.
It is the dew that is significant, and not
the webs.” —New York Mad and Express.
Origin of the Phrase “I’m Fly.”
“The slang phrase ‘l’m flv,’ ‘he’s fly,” 1
began the old skipper, “which is used so
much, in police parlance, dates back nigh
on to 175 years ago. There was a famous
market in New i ork called the Fly. I
have heard said that the name ‘Fly’ was
the abbreviation i’’ly, from valley, as
the locality was between Golden Hill and
another elevated piece of ground. The
Fly Market was infected by a gang of
idlers, bummers and sneak thieves, who
occasionally picked up an honest sh 11 ing
by doing chores for the butchers. They
formed a faction in an antagonism to
other similar lawless gangs, aud were
kown as the Fly Boys. They terrorized
all the others, and any one of them
could go beyond their limits with im
punity by using the shibboleth, ‘l'm
Flv.’ Their superior cunning and crafti
ness were everywhere recognized, aud
now down to this late day we hear their
cry and password used by even the pre
tentiously moral. There was a ce ebrated
pira’e in those days who, I believe,
graduated from the scum of this market,
for he adopted the name of t aptain Fly.

penalties of his crimes by being hanged

An Old Postal Regulation.
It is rather an odd thing that if yon
paste a priuted slip on a postal card the
Government will charge the receiver let
ter postage, while if the same matter is
printed directly on the card nothing
extra is demanded. The same slip which
if pasted on a postal card would be
eha’ged extra for. may be put into an un
sealed envelope and it wdl then go at
printed matter rates, or the whole paper
from which the clipping is taken may be
sent, containing the article marked, at
a much less rate than the Government
wou d charge for the same article at
tached to the catd. That is, the Govern
ment would rather carry four ounces for
a cent than the four-tifth9 of an ounce
for the same money. —Detroit Fret Dress.
She Was Not that Kind.
They were holding an auction of
smuggled goods at the custom house,
and the auctioneer was crying for bids
on a shawl worth a couple of dollars,
when a woman on the outskirts of the
crowd called out:
“I bid four dollars !’
“Third and last call and gone 1” ex
claimed the auctioneer’ ‘iComeand get
it, madam.”
She pushed her way in, saw what il
was, and backed oat with the remark:
“That’s no silk dress.” •
“Nobody said it was, madam.”
“But that’s what I came for. They
told me that silk dresses were going for
four dollars apiece, and I like to have
killed myself running to get here. Four
dollars for a shawl 1”
“How much will you hid?”
“Thirty cents, sir, and not a penny
more!”
“Stand back, please.”
“Oh, yes ! Because I won’t go about
with my feet on the ground and a four
dollar shawl on my back, it’s stand b ick,
if you please I I’ll stand back, sir, but
I’m not that kind of woman. I believe
in consistency.”
“But you wanted a silk dress,” sug
gested one of the crowd.
“And wasn’t I going to mortgage the
house and lot to buy the bonnet to go
with it 1” she retorted.
Fumigation.
The punctured letter is a thing of the
past. All of the fumigating stations
have been discontinued. Charlie Green,
who was at the station at the Ninety
nine-mile post on the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railroad, three miles below
Waycross, Ga., came into the city.
There were five men at his station.
They have been given thirty days’ leave
of absence and pay. They bandied from
18,000 to 22,000 letters per day, and
7,000 newspapers and periodicals. Each
letter had to be punctured aud smoked
in the sulphur fumes for four hours
Then the letters had to be a-sorted and
forwarded. Every letter had to be han
dled twice. The sulphur fumes did not
agree with the postal clerks, and their
health was affected, but not seriously.
They had a colored boy who went imo
the fumigating cars and scraped together
the letters from the wire screens. Ab >ut
ten pounds of sulphur were burned at
one time in a car, of which there were
three. The clerks do not see that they
come out ahead, as they would have had
forty-two days off had they been on their
regular railway routes. — Charleston , S.

Cure of Pneumonia.
Hess Road, Niagara Co., N. Y.,1
March 24. 1886. f
About a year ago I was taken with a severe
pain in both lungs. I was first attacked with a
violent chill, then a dreadful pain and then a
cough accompanied by considerable fever. It
looked very much like a bad attack of pneumo
nia. A friend of mine procured five Allcock’B
Plasters. One he put under each arm, one
under each shoulder blade, and one on my
chest close around my throat. In a few hours
the cough ceased, the pain gradually abated
and I broke out in a profuse perspiration. I
fell into a profound sleep, and the next day
was almost well. I wore the Plasters eight days
afterwards, and have never had any trouble
since. William A. Sawyer.
