A WORK OF ART.

MOW A PARIS "COUTURIER" FASKIONS A BEAUTIFUL TOILET,

The Muter in Mtditatln POM—Speaking if Inspired by the God of Taste—Work Performed by "Secondary" Artists.

[Theodora CbUd in Lippincott's.] Epingiard, for so we will call him for convenience sake, rarely dines- during tha busy beacon be is the martyr of bis profession. He has a bouie exqaisitely decorated and arranged, bat be lived alone, bis daily commerce with women having disinclined him to risk the lottery of marriage. Nevertheless, be is maoh effeminized and bis employees will assure yon that he wears cambric nightcaps bordered with lace, 'and a lace jabot on his nightshirts. His life is entirely devoted to bis art, and be conscientiously goes on Tuesdays to the ComedieFraneai&e, on Fridays to the opera, and on Saturdays to the Italians or the circa*, because these are the nights selected by rank and fashion, and therefore excellent occasion* for observing the work of bis rival*. For the tame reason Epingiard will be seen on fashionable days at the races, and at flrat performances at the fashionable theatres, but always alone.

Epingiard talk4 slowly, precisely, and in a sing-song and hypocritical voice, while hi* Angers, laden with heavy riugs, cares.* voluptuously some piece of surah or silk. He is in serious consultation with one of the leaders of fashion, the Baronne de P. Suddenly changing bis tone, be call* out to a model who is passing: "You there, mademoiselle, put on this hbirt tosbaw to madama." And, turning tho model round, be show* the skirt in all Its OHpects, passing his fingers over the batiste and seeming to give it life and beauty by bis mire touch.

CREATING A MASTERPIECE.

Epingiard pastes into saloon where two ladies are waiting impatiently, particularly the younger of the two, who has come, under the wing of a fashionable relative, tobu introduced to the grand couturier. "Bon Jour, M. Kpinglard,*1 begius ibe elder "1 have come to ask you to create a masterpiece. It will not be tho lirst time, will it? My nelce is going ber first ball next month, nnd I wish her to have a dress on whioh your signature will le visible." Epingiard falls into a meditative pose, hi* nlbow in one band, bU cliiu in the other, and looks long at the young pirl, scrutinizing not only the liue and modeling of tiie body, but tho expression of tho face, the eyes the •hade and nature of the hair, reading her temperament with tae lucidity of phrenologist, aided by the divination of a plastic artist who lias bad great oxperience with feminine humanity.

The examination lasts many minutes nnd finally, as if under the inspiring influence of tho god of tosto, Epingiard, in broken phrases, composes tho dress: "Toilette entirely of tulle—corsa .e plaited diag onally—-around the deuolletagu four ruches —the skirt relieved with drapery of white satui falling behind like a peplum—on the shool4ei* (the left shoulder) a bouquet of myosotis or violets—that is how I *00 niqfp emoiselle dressed." And Epingiard salute* gravoly, while an assistant, who has noted down the prophetio utterances of the mas*tor, conducts the subject to a room in the eentarof whichis aunrtioulated model at alwmmne tor»o,*Wflh moveable breasts, flattened rag arms hanging at the side, and a combination of straps and springs to adjust the tsiiile. or waist—a moit siuistar ani grotesque object, all crumbled and shriveled up and covered with shiny, glaze calico. This is the studio of ons of the mo-t important of the secondary artiste in dressmaking, the corsagero.

AT WOHK IN THE STUDIO.

Tho chief of this department take* the subject in hand, aud, with the aid of a piece of course canvas, such at the tailors use to line coats, she takes a complete mold of the botly, cutting, and pinning, an I Kinootliiug with her baud until the mold is perfect. TM is the first «tep toward the execution of the master's plan. At the next soano) «f trying-on, tho subject passes *imultAii»ou«ly through the hands of several heads of du|wrtnent«— the corsageiv, the jupiere, who irapji, tL* skirt and arranges the train, and the second jupiere, who mounts and construct the skirt. The corsage is brought all sown and whalebone*!, but only basted below the arms and at the shoulder, and an ooon as it is in place— "orac! crao!"—the corsage re, with angry fingers, break4 the threads, and then calmly and ]atiently rejoin* the seam* and pins them togother so that the joinings may lie perfectly flat and even.

On her ktioo*. turning patiently round nnd round, the jupiere drape* the skirt on a lining of silk, seeking to perfect the roundness sparing no pain*, and displaying in all «he duos the arti*t's amour-propre, the desire to achieve a master-piece in the detail which Uie umsoultne designer ha: allotted to her care. The-e women who lend their Isglit-flngtirod collaboration to the imagination of the bearded dressmaker are really admirable in their seutiment of their work, in their artist's ambition which thinks not merely of the week\« •alary, but of tho perfection of tbe master-piece. They seem to tlnd in ton *0 personal satisfaction in producing a beautiful toilet, in fashioning a delicate thing whicli almost has the qualities of a work of art aud wbeu the subject in naturally well formed—tent faita. as they ay—and not artificially made up .with what is called tbe tailie de couturier*, their painstaking knows no bounds.

SOMETHING ABOUT LICORICE.

Where It Grow* as a Weed—How Stick Licorice Is Made—Quality. [Chicago Times.]

Licorice wa* used by the ancient Greeks and mans, and its name, which is derived from the Qreak. signifies a sweet root. The plant grows wild in mo*t of tb? countries that border on tbe Mediterranean sea. In northern Africa it is very c-ommon, and is regarded by farmer* and gardeners as a weed. It is very difficult to exterminate it when it is once introduced on land. It thrives in bot countries best on land that is quite moist, and is generally fonnd on the rich "bottom" lands in the vicinity of rivers and streams. It seems likely that tbe Saracens cultivated it southern Spain. The only part of the plant that is valuable is tbe root, which in suitable soil will grow to tbe length of six or night feet. These roots, properly cleaned, cut iu pieces about a foot long, and tied up in bandies, may be seen in any drug store.

Stick licorice is made by crashing and grinding tbe root to a pulp, which is boiled in water over an open fire, and tbe decoc tion, separated from tbe solid residue of the root, id evaporated in copper pans till a sufficient degree of concentration is attained, after which, on cooling, it is rolled into the form of sticks or other shapes for the market. The preparation of the juice is a widely-extended industry along the Mediterranean coasts, but the quality best appreciate 1 in the United Kingdom is made in Calabria, and sold under the name of name of solazzi and corigliano juice, Tbe licorice grown in Yorkshire, England, is made into a confection called pontefract cakes.

Licorice in various forms is a popular remedy for coughs, and it is largely used by children as a sweetmeat. It enter.* into the composition of many cough lozeugos and other demuloent preparations, and in the form of aromatic sirup* and elixir* it has a remarkable effect in masking the taste of nauseous medicines, property peculiar to glyoyrrhizin. A con* id arable quantity of licorice parte is used in tho pro paration of tobacco for chewing. Com mercial licorice paste is frequently much adulterated and often contains distinct traces of copper, apparently derived from the vqjsels in which tbe julco is inspissated. It is often adulterated with gum artfbio, flour and starch. Licorice is also used to a considerable extent in tbe manufacture of porter aadMHe other malt liquors. Probably the largest proportion of the licorice brought to this country is u*el in tho manufacture of "plug" tobacco.

The quality of root produced in the different countries is as follows: Asiatio Tur key, decidelly bittjr Greece, bitter, but not so bitter as Asiatic Turkey 8icily, sweet, but le:*s so than Sp&nisa: Spain, rich and aweet Italy, richest and sweetest of all The difference in tho quality of tbe root is presumed to be duo to tue peculiarities of the soil and climate. A largo part of the roots produced in Spain and .Portugal is sold to tbe French an English who manufacture it into cake. The plant is not cultivated in these countries. It grows wild in favorable localities and attains a height of from three to Ave feet Tbe stalks are sometime* used for fuel, but no other use is made of them. The ground occupied by the plant* i* dug over every fourth or filth year. Ordinarily enough remain in the soil to insure the production of anew stook of plants. England appears to bo almost the only country in tbe world in which the plant it cultivate]. It was probably brought to the country by the monies, who u*ed it for medicine.

The Windmills of Holland. [Cor. Courier-Journal.]

Tho most oouspicuout ani familiar object in Holland i* the windmill. Th msands of the* structures are scattered throughout the entire country, iuctu linj the town.*, rarm-hou*Oi an I fWl.l*. They are ei for grist-mill -, saw-mills and for all manufacturing purpose®, but principally for tbe purpose o( pumping the water from th9 low lands into the canals that form drains to the sea. Many of these mills aro of immensa siss, their arms or sails mo&surinz as much as sixty feet. They preseuc a solemn look by day and a mo*t weird look by nUht.

In my opinion one of these out-of-tbe-way windmills at tbe dead hour of midnight offers the best field on this earth for ghost hunting. If you can not find ghosts here, then you need look no farther, in tbe certain belief that none are to be found anywhere. Tbe number and sight of tbeje windmills suggest tbe three impo-csibUitiei with which I have met in my travels—first, to be oat of sight of a Chinamau in San Francisco second, to be out of sight of a windmill in Holland, an third, to be out of sight of a prie in Rome. These may be set down as the three impossibilities of travel in these place-.

Another peculiar ani universal sight in Holland is tbe fact that all the houses and buildings are covered with red pottery or corrugated tiling. Thus the tops of all structures from huts to palaces, are bright red. This style of roofing aas now extended throughout Belgium and mo*t of Germany and Switsariand, beoanss it is more convenient and cheaper than wood or other metal. Tbe great scarcity of timber in thess countries make wood roofing an impossibility.

THE WAYS OF STORMSJ

VARIOUS CHARACTERISTICS NOTED BY THE SIGNAL SERVICE.

The Left-Kanded Spiral of the Winds Advaace from West to Kaet—Veering of tbe Winds at the

Storm-Center.

[Youth's Companion.]

A peculiar consequence of the wind's constant direction of spiral rotation, and the eastward ad vanoe of the storm is seen in the veering of the winds from southeast through south to west for observers south of t|ie track. For example, at Lynchburg the wind tbe wind will veer from southeast on Friday morning to South on Saturday, and west on Sunday, as shown in tbe charts but on Lake Huron it will back from southcast on Friday to east on Saturday, and passing through north in the night, will ap pear as nosthwest on Sunday morning. This shows the mistake of the ordinary belief that backish winds foretell the early coining of another storm.

VARIOUS PECULIARITIES.

Another consequence of the left-handed rotatiou and eastward advance is that the front of our storms i* relative'y vgarm, moist, cloudy and rainy or snowy, while the rear is relatively cold, dry and clear. For the winds on the front oomo from the southeast, where they have been warmer, and blow into regions where they afe allowed to cool, ani so become cloudy and let rain fall but tha winds on th^ rw come from the northern interior of the continent, whero they have been clear and dry, and blow Into a warmer ragiou as cold, clearing Winds.

The question may be well asked, what becomes of the winds at the storm-center towards which they all flow? It may be afely answered that on approaching the center, they rise,^and^pn reaching a of a mile or rSore, they gradually turn and flow outward. The evidence of the rising is seen in the heaviness of the clouds and rain around tho center, for as the air riae3. it expands, and by expanding it is cooled, and thus its moisture is either condensed into cloud droplets which unite and fall as rain, or frozen into minute ice crystals which gradually sink as snowflake*.

The evidence of the outward overflow is found in the motion of the higher clouds, such as those that precede the storm many observations have been mads on these lofty wind-vanes, ani they are discovered to move away from the storm center, and hence to diverge very stronzly from the direction of the surface wind*. The observers on Mt. Washington find that the winds there blow nearly in a circle around the storm oenter at that height. They are just changing from the inflow of the surface to the outflow of the still higher regions! ^9}

Macready and His Peculiarities, [Cornhill Magazine. 1 Macreaiy was notoriously one of the most violent tempered men in England, and in his "Life" it is recorded that he prayed earnestly to ba delivered from his violent tits of passion. Macready was a scholar and a gentleman, and most conscientious in his endeavors to make the stage what it ought lo be, a school of dramatic art ta his audience. Naturally he bad a very fine voice, susceptible of great modulation, especially in the representation of pathos. But, from an over anxiety to make everything that be said reach every one of his audience, he had fallen into a painful habit of breaking up hi* sentences, which notonly marred the rhymth of the vers9 he bad to speak, but gave a "jerky" unevenness to his elocution that became at times irritating.*

Another drawback that he created for himself was this: He made tbe most horrible faces when bis passions were roused, insomuch that I was once nearly put out of tbe theatre for bursting out laughing in 'King Lear," when the mad king shrieked oat, "Look! look! a mouse," and he made such a tremendous face and rolled bis eyes in such a supernatural manner at so small an animal, in his imagination, that if it had been at tho end of tbe world I could not have kept my ccnntrnance. Nevertheless on looking back I feel fully convinced that a Shakespearean performance at Macready's theatre gave one a great aest for reading and trying to un lerstand Shakespeare.

are

Among the characteristics which general, since they pertain more or elosely to all our storms, is the left-! inward spiral of tbe winds all our storms have this peculiar motion, and it is only the southern hemisphere that the rotation of tbe winds is in the opposite direction. The winds become stronger toward th* centre of the storm at »ea, where they aifj a little retarded by friction, they attain dangerous velocity, but on land tbey an seldom destructive. And yet just about the centre, tbe winds fade away this is especially noticeable in storms at sea.

Another general characteri tio is the m£ vance of the storm from west to east, bat in respect to velooity and direction there is much irregularity. Some storm* ran fnr tbe south, along the northern coast oft gulf of Mexico, and then turn north-east along tbe Atlantic states others pass scrth of Lake Superior and cross Canada and Labrador to the polar seaa

VELOCITY AND ROTATION.

Some travel with great velocity. In January, 1877, a storm advanced 1,872 miles in twenty-four hour*, while others some times stand nearly *till, or occasionally eveu move backwards, for a whole day. In speaking here of the advance of the storm along its track, the velocity of this advance, whioh averages thirty miles an hoar, niu-t not be oonfounde 1 with the velocity of the wind? in the storm for there is no well-marked agreement between tbe two. In tbe West Indies, the stornfe move rather slowly, tyt their winds attain hurricane strength.

Malaria of Parasitic Origin. [Detroit Free Prem.1

The doctors and scientists are evidently bent on reducing all disease to the action of parasites or germs of soare kind. Cholera, consumption hydrophobia, sheep rot. have all been charged up to the microbe or the bacillus, or whatever other little beast was small enough to be called hard names without striking back.

An Italian scientist, Dr. Fotn&csi Crudeli, now assigns "malaria* to a parasite which be calls a "schizomyoes badllaris,'' and gives him a character as bard as his nana He "attacks directly tbe globules of tbe blood and destroys them." Without his presence in ten neither marshes nor putrescent water in capable of producing malaria.

How Charles *kens Learned Stenography. The famous no* elist started in life as a reporter. H? learned shorthand by the old clumsy methods that were tbe fashion in his time. It was as serious a business as learning Greek and committing to memory the whole of tha Iliad. But Dicken3 worked at it and stack to it through thick and thin, till finally he mastered it In later years ha becanu very wealthy, ani the most renowned story writer of bis time. But he never would havedone EO if he had not worked just as hard at writing as be did at learning shorthand. Have some of oar boys and girls thought tbey would like to become stenograph are? Here is how Charles Dickec3 learned it Ha says: 1 bought an approved schema of the noble art and mystery of stenography (which cost me ten -and-3ix-p9nce), and plunged into a sea of perplexity that brought me in a few weeks to the confines of distraction.

The changes that were run? upon dot?, which in ona position meant one thing, and in another position soma thing else the wonderful vagaries that were played by circles the unaccon tabh consequence5 that resulted from i^irks like fly's legs the-tre-mendous effect from a curve in the wrong place, not only troubled my waking hours, but ra ippear jd bifore me in my sleep.

When I had groped my way blindly through th£» difficulties and had mastered the "alphabat" which was an Egyptian temple in itself, then there appeared a procession of new horrors called "arbitrary characters"—the most despotic characters I have ever known—which insisted, for instance, that the thing like the beginning of a cobweb meant "expectation," and that a pen-and-ink sky-rocket meant "disadvantageous."

When I had fixed these wretches in my mind, I found that they had driven everything else out of it. Then, beginning again, I forgot them. Then, while 1 was picking them up, I dropped the other fragment* of the system. In short, it was almost heartbreaking.

He was very young at this time to be so persevering. He was a mere boy reporter when at last hs got the thing learned. He continues:

I went into the gallery of the house of commons as a parliamentary reporter whan I was a boy not 18, and I lett it—I can hardly believe tha inexorable truth—nigh thirty years ago and I have pursued the calling of a reporter under circumstances of which many of my brethren here, and my brethren's successors, can form no adequate conception.

I have often transcribed for the printer from my shorthand notes important public speeches in which the strictest accuracy was required, and a mistake in which would have bee:i to a young man severely compromising, writing on the palm of my hand by tha light of a dark lantern, in a postchaise and four, galloping through a wild country through the dead of the night, at the then surprising rate of fifteen miles an hour.

The very last time I was at Exeter 1 strolled into the castle yard there to identify, for the amusement of a friend, the spot on whioh I "took" au election speech of my noble friend, Lord Russell. It was in the midst of a lively fight kaptupJby all the vagabonds in the vicinity, and uncfer such pelting rain that I remember two good-naturod colleagues, who chancad to be at leisure, held a pocket handkerchiaf -over ray notebook, after the manner of a state canopy in an ecclesiastical procession.

I have worn my knaes by writing on them on the#old back row of the house of commons, and I have worn my feet by standing to write in a preposterous pen in the old house of lords, where we used to be huddled like so many sheep.

HOW HORRID!

lllg Dog and Little Dog. fSan Francisco Bulletin.)

In Away unknown to those who chanced to be on the spot, a small terrier dog fell from the stringer of the wharf into the bay. He swam around for soma time in a circle, and many plans were suggested for his rescue by witnesses to tha misfortune, but none of them proved practical. Just at the moment when when all hopes of saving the terrier were given up the bark of a dog in tha crowd attractad attention, and but a moment passed when there appeared upon the stringer in front of tbe wharf a large Newfoundland. He saw the little fellow in the water, and with a low wail he ran to and fro along the wharf for a moment or two, and then, to the surprise of every one present, he sprang into the water and at on00 swam to the terrier, seising him by tho neck with his teatb, and after swimming about for some time he sighted the new sea wall extension, about 100 yards distant, for which be beaded. He was eagerly watched by tbe admiring crpwd until be reached his destination, whan everybody started oa a simultaneous run toward tha rescuer.

Upon landing bis burden on terra firm* tbe Newfoundland gave two or three sharp barks, and seemed to be proud of what hi bad done. It was some tiima before tbe terrier was ab.e to gain strength to walk away One of the witnesses to the strange signt took his handkerchief from his pocket and tied it about the neck at tbe Newfoundland, wiving: "This dog is min?, and 1 would not take ft.000 for him at this moment,"

THE INCREASE OP INSANITY.

Boston rapports 800 insane, says Mr. T. B. Sanborn, not 75 of whom will recover

This is frightful! Insanity has increased 40 per cent in a decade and most of tbe cases are incurable. Whatever the individual cause may be, the fact remains that Uric Add blood sets the brain on fire, destrops its tissues, and then oomes some form of fatal lunacy.

Nothio

eased, stomach. oric acid, caused by failure of kidney action, and the consequent destruction of the blood life—albumen—you have the fuel and the flame and a brain in full blaze as when one raves, or in slow combustion, as in milder forms of insanity. Rev. E. D. Hopkins, of St. Johnsbury, Vt., a few years ago was oonfined in au asylum. He took a terrible cold while aiding in putting out a •fire in a neighbor's burning bouse, and for twenty-five years that cold was slowly filling bis blood with uric acid and finally tbe deadly work was done. The case looked hopeless but be happily used Warner's safe cure and recovered. That was three years ago and having ridden his blood of all surplus uric acid, he has remained well until this day.

It is indeed a terrible thing to lose one's mind, but it is a more terrible thing to suffer such a condition when it can be so easily prevented. &?,*'£?* '1

If when you call.for Hop Bitters (see green cluster of Hops on the white label) the druggist hands out any stuff called C. D. Warner's German Hop Bitters or with other "Hop" name, refuse It and shun that druggist as you would a viper: and if he has taken your money for the stun, indict him for the fraud and sue him for damages for the swiudle, and we will reward you liberally tor the conviction.
