with
a revival of "The Bauble Shop." Julia Arthur has given her brother power of attorney, so that he may arrange for her starring tour season after next.
Minnie Palmer's new play, "The School Girl," produced at the Bijou, Now York, is as successful a failure as "The Stag Party."
James O'Neill has a collection of 50 rare and valuable walking sticks, given him by his friends inside and outside of the profession during his 20 years' career.
It will surprise even Richard Mansfield's greatest admirers know that his book, ''One Evening," has reached a salo in England and America of more than 30,000 copies.
The first American starring tour of John Hare, the English actor, which has just begun at Abbey's theater, New York, has started, according to Clarence Fleming, Mr. Hare's manager, most satisfactorily.
With regard to the rumor afloat that Maudo Adams is to star next season, it is ended by Theatrical Tidings, which states officially that Miss Adams has signed a contract to continue to support John Drew.
DREAMS OF DRESS.
Very large collars and yokes of fine openwork jot passementerie, with full fringes, are worn with colored dresses.
The Eton jacket idea is quite popular, and some of the new models have tlieso jacket fronts edged with fur all around.
The use of contrasting side sections in skirts seems to be increasing. There are also fronts of entirely different material.
A dress of putty colored cloth has an Eton jacket of wine colored velvet with velvot sleeves and collar. From beneath the jacket, entirely across the front, is a full puffed vest of cream colored crepon.
Hairdressing has become elaborate in the extreme. Puffs, feathers, combs, aigrets, ornaments and ribbons are mingled in what might beoome inextricable confusion were the arrangement less artistic.
Some new skirts are shown with the seams open about half the distance from hem to waist line. These openings are filled in with plaitings of satin, silk or velvet, and in some models there are cross lacings of cord or velvet ribbon over these plaitings.
Shades of yellow are in demand for evening wear. A very rich costume is of a copper yellow satin, brocaded with small designs in rose color and foliage in natural tints. The trimming is of very open jet passementerie, with a full fringe made of extremely fine jet beads.
A jacket shown at a recent exhibition of imported garments is made of velvet, with applique of very thick, silk embroidered down at the edges. The silk covers at least half of thesu* face of the garment A high rolling collar of fur and fur cuffs make a very handsome finish.—New York Ledger.
PERFUMES.
The Empress Josephine was fond of orange water. From the gas tar has been extracted an oil identical with that of bitter almonds.
Crito considered the oil of cinnamon to be a very efficient remedy in all diseases of the head.
The "sweet incense" used on the altar was made of different substances, each of which gave forth a special perfume.
Incense is mentioned in A. D. 496 as used in Christian churches, the occasion being the baptism of Clovis of France.
Perfumes rnd essencos made from lemon, orange and borgamot long ago made Sicily famous in the annals of the perfumers.
The original word translated apotheoary in the Bible is believed by some authorities to be better translated by perfumer.
The United States manufactures extensively perfumes from wintergreen, sassafras and several other woods and herbs.
Perfumes are made from a great variety of seeds, and by combining some of these new perfumes are made, which resemble none of those previously known.
Grasse, in Franoe, contains over 100 factories which distill perfumes from the flowers of the orange, jasmine, rose, violet, cassia, tuberose and other plants.
In Tartary onions, leeks and garlic are regarded as perfumes. A Tartar lady will make herself agreeable by rubbing apiece of freshly cut onion on her hands and over her countenance.
THE NEW SOUTH.
The removal of the disabilities bill is significant of the restoration of good feeling and an evidence of good will.—Indianapolis News.
The passage of the bill relating to the disabilities of old Confederates was worthy of this forgiving time and seals tho truth that the war of the sixties is over.—Pittsburg Times.
It was passed by a vote which indicates that the era of good feeling has really bogun again, and that sectionalism, in the invidious meaning of the term, is dead.-— Mobile Register.
The unanimous vote by which the senate passed the bill to remove the disabilities of ex-Confederates is no surprise. Our war is over, anil we are one people in sentiment and purpose as well as in name. —Atlanta JouKtm-l
Deafness Cannot'.Be Cured

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect- hearing, and when is-entirely .closed, Deafness is the result, «and unless the iuflamation can he taken out and this tube restored to its normal cotdition, hearing1 will be destroyed'forever 'nine cases out of" ten are causedjjby catarrh, which is nothing but an-tnflamedjeonditjon of the mucous surfaces.

DEAD.
Site died last night: (How deep the snows of May Bloom on the thickets there.) See how her face, Is blindly turned against the light. (The grace
Of spring comes new—as it was yesterday And ever shall be.) They have put away Her hands beneath the sheets. (How green the place. See through the leaves white butterflies that chase
Each other in the sun.) Oh. poor dead clay' The mouth is silent and the eyes are blind 1 (But how the young leaves in the sun and shade Do tremble with the faint, delicious wind!)
Her life is ended, and licr grave is made. And is this all that death can leave behind? Good Lord deliver me! I am afraid! —New York Tribune.
A NEW WOMAN.
There had been whist that evening at the club and, incidentally, there bad been champagne. There were cigars and conversation. The meeting had been a thorough success, so in consequence the members of the Columbian were in high feather.
The club was only a year old, and each new success meant another weight thrown on the side of popularity and permanence.
So the conversation had in it some of the spirit of the lively young men. "By Jove," said Morris Habberton, "this is what I call real joy of life. A fellow attends to his business during the day and feels that he deserves a rest at night. So he hies him to his club, where there are cards, cigars, congenial fellows and a harmless glass." "Nothing like it," said old Hobbs, who was gray as to the fringes of his bald pate, but had left the Bachelors' because, as he explained it, "the fellows were getting old and grumpy. "There's always aglow about the very appearance of the club entrance to me," said Habberton. "Oh, we know that's champagne talking, but the vintage seems to have the knack of uttering truth tonight."
This was Lewis Mortimer's contribution to the general talk. "Vintage be hanged!" exclaimed the first speaker, turning on him in mock I *nry.
But old Hobbs interrupted him with, "Don't hang the vintage now, my dear boy, and don't, on your life, underrate its power and influence. "I don't, but my words are the words of sane and sober truth. I say and maintain and I reiterate that there are a warmth and a genial glow about the very entrance to these rooms." "He waxeth oratorical," mocked Mortimer. "Contrast," went on Habberton,without deigning to notice the interruption, "this home coming with the home coming of a fellow who is married to a woman." "Or one of these new women," from Hensington, who had not before joined in the conversation. "Ah, now you are talking sense," said old Hobbs, rubbing his hands gleefully. "It is the advent of the new woman that is keeping so many innocent, eligible and worthy men from matrimony." "How do you know?" interrupted Mortimer, with especial stress on the "you."
Some one threw an almanac at him, and old Hobbs remarked that he hated "weak attempts at sarcasm.
Reginald Vertress was a known and reputed ladies' man, so nobody paid much attention when he observed, rather tentatively: "Oh, I haven't much faith in all this talk about the new woman, anyway. If you'd believe me, she's only the same dear creature with the addition of a bicycle, big sleeves and a membership ticket in the V. G. P. U." "Well, whatever may be said," went on Habberton—he had drunk considerable champagne—"the new woman is a painful reality. We hate to admit her presence, but she is here, though we hope not to stay." "Pray forbear," exclaimed the irrepressible Mortimer. "Who knows but some of our number have formed 'entangling alliances' with new women who make political speeches and head petitioning conventions?" "May gracious heaven forbid!" responded Habberton, in such a tone of mock tragedy that the whole company burst into peals of rollicking laughter. There was one young man who had not joined in the conversation and who did not join in the laugh.
This was Tom Agnew. He sat smoking in an obscure corner, and his face flushed at the last words of Habberton Mortimer and the laugh which greeted them. As soon as convenience would allow he rose and slipped away.
In his mind a strange fight was taking place between resentment, love and fear of ridicule.
He felt that in Lewis Mortimer's last remarks there had been a veiled allusion to himself, though his engagement to Helen Clayburn was supposed to be a secret.
Helen he knew to be a leader in the work of women, and he grew angry with himself, with her and with his companions when he thought that she might be included in the category of new women.
A man is not always reasonable after champagne and a losing game of whist. So in his unreason Tom Agnew wrote a letter that night which in his saner moments he would not have been guilty of penning.
And the next morning Helen Clayburn received it just as she was going out to attend a meeting of the Kindergarten association. "Why, it's a letter from Tom," she said. "I wonder if he is in haste to go away, that he writes." And she tore it open. It was not very long and as she read it she grew white and trembled a little. But Helen Clayburn was a very sensible girl. She handed the letter to fcer mother, saying: "Something has gone wrong to vex Tom. He should have come to me instead of writing. I will wait for bim to come to his senses."
She read a paper that morning before
the association and the ladies said of it: "The paper was excellent, but don't you think its value was much added to by her manner of reading? It was read with such spirit."
When she came home from the association, Helen Clayburn read Tom Agnew's letter again and cried a little R3 she laid it down. "He 'cannot become the laughing stock of men by marrying a girl whose actions place her unmistakably in ihe ranks of that very undesirable creature, the new woman.' Who has been talking to him, and what have I done except take an interest in what should engage the attention of every true woman? Tom, Tom, I love you, but you must— you must come to yourself."
And she did not answer the letter. Three weeks passed and Torn Agnew grew uneasy. Why had Helen not written He had expected a letter from her before this. He hoped he had said nothing which she might construe into a desire on his part to break their engagement. He had not meant to go so far as that.
He was at the club one night again, and in tho meantime an election had taken place.
There were only cigars on this night. There had been no .whist, no champagne. "It is wonderful what a triumph we have in electing pure and worthy men to take charge of our school interests," said Morris Habberton seriously. "Yes, we," sneered Lewis Mortimer. "Betsey and I, we killed a bear, didn'4 we? Wliat are you talking about? "it was the women who did it. They worked before election and then went up to the polls like—ahem—men. "Well, I have no objection to that. I don't want to rob them of their credit. All honor to the women who rid us of boodlers and incompetents." "They acted nobly," chimed in old Hobbs, "but much was due to the splendid leadership and wonderful genius fur organization of that Miss Clayburn. She is indeed a great girl. You know her, Agnew, don't you?" "Ah, yes, yes, of course," stammered Tom. "Well, we'll expect you to see that she is one of the patronesses on 'ladies' day.'
As soon as Tom could get out he hurried away, mentally kicking himself for a weak fool.
And he called himself by no milder name when he found Helen Clayburn at home a half hour later. He explained it all to her, not fpr a moment sparing himself. "I said that something had happened to vex you," said Helen, "but, oh, Tom, I knew you would come to your senses. But aren't you afraid of me as a new •tfoman? Just think, Tom, I've been elected president of the Woman's Social Purity club and won the annual medal for the best muffins at the cooking school. Isn't that ominous?"
There was a look in her eyes and a half humorous little tremor in her voice that made him clasp her in his arms as he said: "I don't care if you've been elected sheriff if you'll just forgive me and take me back to your heart again. I don't care how new a woman you are, just so you are mine."—Chicago News.
Warren Hastings' Law Expenses.
Hastings was in his sixty-third year when he was acquitted, after a trial which lasted seven years. His costs amounted to £100,000, which seems a pretty heavy lawyer's bill—it is at the rate of over £14,000 a year—though, no doubt, heavy expenses were contracted before the trial began in the preparation of evidence. The printed brief delivered to counsel for the defense extended to 24 folio volumes, and Law's retainer was 500 guineas. Hastings memorialized the hoijse of commons to grant him compensation, but Pitt, to whom the petition was sent, refused, in a curt note, to submit it to the sovereign, though he did not hesitate, as chancellor of the exchequer, to debit the country with the enormous costs of the prosecution. But the court of directors of the East India company behaved very well. They resolved to grant Hastings a sum of £71,080 as an indemnification for his costs and an annuity of £5,000 for life.
It will hardly be believed that the board of control, of which Dundas was the head, refused to sanction these proposals, as excessive, and ultimately Hastings received from the directors £50,000 down and £4,000 a year for life. We presume that he settled his bill of costs for 10s. in the pound, and his three counsel, Law, Plumer and Dallas, might well have foregone some of their fees, for the trial brought them so much reputation that they all attained to the highest posts on the bench.—Saturday Review.
Marble Making.
The example furnished by nature in the production of marble from chalk by water, the latter percolating gradually and steadily through the chalky deposits, dissolving the chalk particle by particle and crystallizing it, mountain pressure effecting its characteristic solidity, it is now found may be the basis of accomplishing similar results by a resort to chemical processes. Slices of chalk are for this purpgse dipped into a color bath, staining them with tints that will imitate any kind of marble known, the same mineral stains answering this end as are employed in nature. For instance, to produce the appearance of the well known and popular verde antique an oxide of copper application is resorted to, and in a similar manner green, pink, black and other colorings are obtained. The slices after this are placed in another bath, where they are hardened and crystallized, coming out to all intents and purposes real marble.—London Decorators' Gazette.
The Old Familiar Greeting.
At a recent seance in this city the spirit of the wife of a well known citizen appeared, and he involuntarily exclaimed, "I haven't got a cent."—Los Angeles Express..
