STYLES OF THE DAY.

White glace kid embroidered in black silk, spangles and jet shades is the latest trimming used aa vests, revere, cuffs and high collars.

In broche designs cloudy, zig-zag effects prevail in crosswise style. One pretty gauze ribbon has embroidered flowers on the surface.

Entire costumes ot rich brown velveteen have vests of yellow broadcloth, satin or cloth of gold, with additional trimming of marten, mink or sable.

Even the conservative British maiden is taking to red gowns. Ladies' cloth in deep jacquemluot will be very fashionable for skirts this winter, with Loui3 XVI. coats of black velvet.

The loose cloaks and circular designs arc of mirolr velvet in dark red, sapphire, violet and rich old rose shades, with ermine or Thibet fur. These garments are lined with plain or broche satin.

The glittering coat of mail appearance is in vogue for full dress toilette. The bodice of one very attractive costume is of shot apricot and rose silk, covered with white net, studded with silver spangles.

The newest ribbons are of striped gauze, with satin edges. The color scheme calls for a light colored ground, as white, straw, cream, pink or maize, with the edge in a darker tone, as brown, black or marine.

Vests of cherry pink, grass green or orange velvet covered nearly to the center by a jabot of rich yellowish lace are used in jacket waists of black velveteen. The collar and waists are lace ruffled, and the corselet is of black velveteen or satla. These bodices are exceedingly smart.

Uneducated Mathematical Prodigies.

Zerah Colburn, born in Vermont in 1804, at the age of six was a mathematical prodigy, though he was without even ordinary intelligence in other directions, and was a degenerate, with supernumerary digits on both hands and feet Tom Fuller, a Virginia "lightning calculator" of the last century, was an Illiterate native African of prodigious power of calculation. Asked how many seconds in a year and a half, he responded in two minutes, 47,304,000? how fflahy seconds a man had lived who was 70 years 17 days and 12 hours old, he answered in a minute and a half, 2,210,500,800. Dase, an otherwise extremely dull-witted German, was a "mathematical genius," who, for example. multiplied correctly in fifty-four seconds 79,532,853 by 93,758,479.

Kudy-Snatching at Harvard.

In the memoirs of my grandfather. Dr. John C. Warren, the second professor of anatomy at Harvard, and who succeeded his father in that chair, is an interesting passage describing how, when a student, he, with others, "raised" a body. He says: "When my father came up in the morning to lecture and found I had been engaged in this scrape he was very much alarmed, but when the body was uncovered and he saw what a fine, healthy subject it was be seemed to be as much pleased as I ever saw him."—Forum.

A Matter for the Future.

"Yes," remarked the proud father whose tastes are musical, "he's the finest baby the neighborhood has ever seen. I don't rely on my own prejudiced opinion in making the statement. My wife says the same thing." "Are you going to make a musician of him?" "Oh, it's altogether too early to decide that. His hair hasn't begun to grow yet."—Washington Star.

A Flag of Warning.

Beware of the dry, tickling, hacking, morning cough, for it warns you that consumption lurks near. The famous Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup will cure it. "I had a very bad cough. One doctor pronounced it consumption. I used Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup and was completely cured the cough left me and has never come back. Simon Smasal, 375 31st Street, Chicago, Ills." Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup costs but 25 cents. Ask for Bull's, take only Bull's.

NEW WOMAfc IN LITERATURE.

laHMtto Olldar Gives tier' d«aa Cuamu' la« tb« Talked of CnMAi*.

The new woman of the novelist merely one of Dr. Max Nor dan's degenerates. She is the creation ot a write# who is hysterical and degenerate, antf the world takes her as something that really exists. To be rare,there are plenty of women with "pasta" and with "yearnings," and there always have been and probably always will be, bnt 1 doubt if any woman outside of an insane asylum talks the rubbish about spiritual impacts, tells that "we are tones of one chord," and abont the "vile slavery" of marriage, as do the women of Miss Pendered and Mr. Grant Allen. Writera of this 6ort do not represent the women of the day any more than the painted women of the streets represent tho women of good society.

The jaundioed writera of "The Yellow Book" cannot be expected to give us pictures of healthy lives. Their tastes run to worm eaten fruit They have no liking for that which is red with the hue of health. They prefer the yellow hue of decay. Dr. Nordau is quite right when be calls it disease. The heroines of "The Yellow Book," of "Discords" and of "Wreckage" might have boen taken from Lombroso's study of the female offender. If they exist outside of their creator's brains, their oases will be found recorded in scientific studies of criminology or in the ordinary police reports.

The

Dew

Up summer and winter before sunrise, he reads the matins and his day's work is often done, says Blaokwood's Magaeine. Sometimes he reads the angelus and vespers usually they are undertaken by the native oateohist. Perhaps in the course of the long morning Ah Han or Ah Si will present himself and pour forth complaint about a buffalo and trampledpadi field or he maybe called to adjudicate in what should be an notion for a divorce. Sometimes of a morning he sallies forth, his yellow pigtail coiled around his head and an enormous satchel Blung across his back, with a store of iron shot and wadding for his rickety muzzle loader, and if be Is lucky will bring back a pigeon or two, or even a pheasant, to supplement the inevitable pork or fowl and rice.

The mail comes in once a fortnight and a day Blips by unnoticed, thanks to home letters and a dozen numbers of La Croix, where, squeezed between the latest miraole and the life of some worthy saint, the doings of the outer world may be found recorded in a ten line notice on "a 1* Etranger."

Sometimes an afternoon is whiled away in curing the rank tobaooo of the place or in brewing rice wine or malt beer—because ten years of solitude have taught him to do things for himself— and when be has no such pastime on hand, he gets through the day absorbed as one hopes in his little mediaeval library of religious books—lives of the saints and sermons and essays.

Then is it wonderful that even a mind as broad and gentle as his should in constant journeyings on the one road have worn a rut for itself, deep sunk and gloomy as the traffic channeled paths of the loess land in the north, till, when a rare glimpse of the outside world does break upon his view, his dazzled eyes can see nothing but trees walking, schismatics and Freemasons, Jews and atheists, spiritualism and table turning, with the fiend himself in a fiery cloud over all?

Paradox.

An amusing instance of an orator unable to resist a neat paradox was presented iu a speech made at a banquet given when President Hayes and his cabinet were in Omaha. Evarts was delivering a most eloqnept eulogy of the west and concluded one of his famous interminable sentences in these words "I like the west. I like her self made men, and the more I travel west, the more I meet with her public men, the more I am satisfied of the truthfulness af the Bible statement that the-wise-men-came-from-the-eastl"—Exchange.

The Other Ada.

First Vestryman—It must make a llergyman feel very unhappy to discover that he has outlived his usefulness in a parish.

Second Vestryman—Ndk so unhappy is It makes the people when he doesn't liacover it —New York Tribune.

Catch Toar Bare.

The well known saying, "First oatch roar hare," is generally credited to "Mrs. Glass' Cook Book," written by Dr. John Hill in the eighteenth oentury. But in an early edition of the book the leading of the sentonoe la, "First oaae (that is. sldn) your bare."

The Mercenary.

The meroenary fighting man is person who seldom receives his doe reward during his lifetime or his just meed ctf fame after his death. The character is 6fle so alien to the age in which we llve^ tt belongs so entirely to the days when fighting was the only oooupation for a gentleman, that it has forfeited alike our sttady and our sympathy. Volunteers we understand, but mercenaries we do not. the world apparently has grown to think that fighting aa a profession—the bare trade of arms nnconsecrated by any sentiment of cause or oountry—is not a noble thing and should not, however ably and gallantly followed, be adJudged the highest praise.

Possibly the world is right, bnt we suspect that ohange of aystem in the training of fighting men has bad far more influence than mere abstract humanity in creating thia opinion. In these days of short service and swift wars the old type of professional fighting man has become extinct. In every country the recruit is forced through a soldier's education at high pressure and returned to oivil life as speedily as possible that he may earn money to pay for the education of others. No man, unless he be an offloer, devotes his whole lifetime to the military oalling, and consequently the few mercenaries—the name la too ignoble for them—who are known to us in these later times are without exception officers—Gordon, for instance, Valentine Baker and Hobart. It was not •o of old, when the rule was once a soldier always a soldier, and the only school was war. Then few men dreamed of rising to oommand except through the ranks, and many gentlemen preferred to stay all their lives in the ranks or at highest to carry the ensigns of their oompanies. Veteran soldiers were worth their weight in gold, and though by no means innocent of rapaoity followed their calling from sheer devotion to it SQd thought themselves unluokv if they died in their beds.—Macpjillan's Magazine

Color Blind.

John Dalton, without whose disoover* Of the laws .of chemical combination ohemistry as an exaot scienoe oould hardly exist, was wholly color blind. His knowledge ot the fact came about by a happening of the sort which we call chance. On bis mother's birthday, when he was a man of 26, he took her a pair of stockings tybioh he had seen in a shop window labeled: "Silk, and newest fashion." "Thee has bought me a pair of grand hose, John," said the mother, "but what made thee faljey such a bright oolor? Why, I can never show myself at meeting in them."

John was much disconcerted, but he told her that he considered the stookinga to be of a very proper go to meeting oolor, as they were a dark bluish drab. "Why, they're red aa a cherry, John,'' was her astonished reply.

Neither he nor bis brother Jonathan oould see anything bnt drab inthestookings, and they rested in the belief that the good wife's eyes were out of order until she, having consulted various neighbors, returned with the verdict, "Varra fine stuff, but uncommon scarlety."

The consequence waa that John Dalton became almost the first to direot the attention of the scientific world to the aubject of oolor blindness. Youth'a Companion.

Bare of It This Time.

"John! John!" Mr. Billus ceased snoring. "What's the matter, Maria?" "T^re'samaninthehouse. Listen 1" "What?" "I heard a heavy foot on the stairway. Listen I"

Mr. Billus listened a moment "I don't hear anything." "I da There—I heard it again 1" Therr was no rerpanse but a snore. "John 1" Another snore. "JoLn Billus, are yon afraid to get up?"

No response. Mrs. Billus lay down again. "If you can stand it to have the house robbed," she exclaimed wrathfully, "I can."

At the end of half an hour she spoke again: "John I"

No answer. "John Billus!" "What's the matter now?" "I was mistaken. There wasn't any man in the house. And there isn't any man in the bouse now, either. Hear that, do you?"—Chicago Tribune.

Glory Sufficient.

The barber's trade is everywhere reoognized ns honorable, bnt Tho Commercial Bulletin tells a story of one mun who had poculiar reasons for magnifying his office.

There was ouoo a hairdresser in Boston who numbered among his patrons many gentlemen of the medical profession. One day, when operating upon one of them, he broke forth in great glee: "Vat you dink, dogtor?

Information For the Teacher.

The teacher was asking questions— teachers nre quite apt to ask questions, and they sometimes receive curious answers. This question was as follows: "Now, pnpils, how ma*/ months have 28 days?" "All of them, teaoher," replied the boy on the front seat—Dtioa Observer.

SOUTH 'AFRICAN UON8.'

They Are, It Is Said, the Boldest of All Predatory Animals.

South African lions are, beyond question, the boldest of all predatory animals, and those of Mashonaland are perhaps the boldest of all. During the night, their natural hunting time, they attack draft animals, or even men, within a few yards of the campfires, and area constant and serious danger to travelers in distriots remote from the main tracks of traders. From the Zambezi, through Mashonaland, and north to the Limpopo a chorus of complaints rises in the pages of reoent travelers whose cattle or followers have suffered from their attacks. Mr. Selous has recorded the pursuit of the post from Salisbury by a lion, and the loss of the mail bags, which the animal tore from the back of the pack horse. Mr. Millais, who crossed the Nuanetsi river with a team of eight donkeys to draw his wagon—the oxen being left behind on aocount of the proximity of the "fly" country—lost three in one night by a lion attaok, carried out with the utmost contempt for human beings, whether white or black. He was awakened by the lion'a roar, and almost immediately saw one of the tethered donkeys knocked over. It was not five yards from the fire, but in the darkness and dazzle of the fire he could not see the attacker. "We knew instinctively that a lion had killed the donkey, and was standing over him not five yards from where we were, but it was hopeless to fire unless we saw something, or at least could make certain of his whereabouts."

This odd scene oontinued for some moments, the actors being four or five black men, two white men, a pony, seven live donkeys and a dead one, and the lion standing over th$ latter, with afire partlv lighting up tbo figures, until coupiQ more donkeys broke loose, They rushed into a mealie field, and there thd party beard the lion chasing first one donkey and then another, as excited and aa little afraid as a dog chasing rabbits in afield of barley. "At every bound ih® iipn emitted subdued 'boo-uff,' aa his fore legs strtiok the ground, but the two did not go far. There were presently a loud scuffle, a crack and the 60und of a heavy body falling then all was still." The lion ohased the third donkey round the camp, killed and ate it, and was next day shot by an ingenious trap, made by tying a rifle to posts, and fastening a string to the trigger, which the lion struok when revisiting its "kill." The unsportsmanlike method of com passing its death is excused by Captain Millais on the ground of necessity. Thin lion was 10 feet long from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, was in perfect health and immensely formidable.—London Spectator.

FOUNDfMQ THE KONtfcTSTATE.

fcplorer Stanley Tells la Brief the Rtoiy ef the Oreat Enterprise.

During my descent of the Kongo bad revolved over and over in my mind the question of the destiny of the river. Seated at the prow of my boat whiob led our flotilla, and daily watching the river developing itaelf, I was preoccupied with these thoughts every leisure moment. There was, it seemed to me, no other power bnt England that could Interest itself with this part of Africa, and, as I said, there was not a single white man in possession of any portion at the equatorial belt exoept at the mouth of the Kongo, where a few trad ars bad gathered. But despite the nu merous addresses in England upon this subject I failed to awaken more than a geographical interest in equatorial Af rica. The terror of the African olimate In general was too strong upon everybody.

Elsewhere, however, the reports of my addresses in the English newspapers were taking effect. After nearly nine months' busy life in England the king of the Belgians incited me to visit him, and I was then informed of his strong Inclination to undertake for Africa what I had been so strenuously advising Englishmen to do. He waB already president of the African International association, which was about to set on foot a hu manitarian enterprise from the east coast, and he led me to understand that if I were free from other engagements he would lika to employ me in opening the Kongo basin to European influence and civilization.

It was my opinion that the best way of setting about the work was to construct a light surface railway which should skirt the cataracts of the lower Kongo and then to launch steamers on the upper waters, whioh I estimated would furnish about 6,000 miles of nav' igation. We argned about this matter from August to December, 1878. The best Belgian engineers were consulted, but after the most elaborate calculations as to cost it was finally decided that as the oxpen6e would be great we should content ourselves with making wagon roads past the cataracts and build a series of military stations for the protection of caravans, and that the annuH expenditure should not exoeed $60,000. —Henry Stanley in Century.
