The life of llroderic k, of California, was once saved by the ball of his antagon ist striking his watch, while we have the oratorio-? of Handel because the sword of b:3 antagonist broke on his coat button. Two fighting Irishmen, McNally and Harrington, once fought, and the bullet of one was turned aside by the suspender buckle of the other, while the second bullet lodged in a paper of ginger nuts in the pocket of tho first man. Another Irishman, fighting with Barrington had his life preserved by a brooch which ho wore, in which the ball lodged, while Roche fort was spared for years to abuse his Eolitical enemies by tho accident of aving a 5-franc pieca in his Test pocket. Hut perhaps the most singu lar result over know in a duel was that achieved by two French gentlemen named Pierrot and Arlequin, who at the word fired together, and each suc ceeded in killing the other's second. "What an escape!" cried a spectator, though the seconds had both fallen dead. But it may be safely affirmed that the friends of the seconds did not look on the matter in this accommo dating way, and much trouble ensued, though tihallyTho whole affair was dropped, and no further fighting re sulted from so unlucky a duel. The Field of Honor. A lawyer from Arizona was return ing from the East, where he had been to settle up the affairs of some mining company. He was full of indignation at the delays of the law in Eastern courts. "It took me three months," he said, "to get a little formality through that ought to have been sett ed in twenty four hours. It worried the life out of me. Now, out in Arizona we don't do things that way. Our courts movo quick. We haven't so much style or red tape, and believe that when a thing has to bo done the way to get it done is to get right at it and rush it. I remem ber last spring the Judge came to our place to hold court. There was a jail full of fellows there, in for murder and horse-stealing. The Judjrc was in a hurry, and said that do kct must bo cleared within twenty-four hours. Well, it was." "How in the world did ho do it." "He didn't do it. That night tho boys organ'zed a little coram ttce, took the prisoners out of jail, hung the horse thieves and told the murderers to get put of the territory. Next morning the Judge-signed the docketf and cost bills" "rid went "on his way'rejoiciug." OUR CKAZV QUILT. Hevrntreiith Onturj Mean of Womanly Reality Plain ,..-.tIi From Paris Colin-ruing Hosiery. Hall Itonui Toilet for a niiiic Married Lady New llnirrrt ami Conrrlls hi Tahle t'oiers. A WOMAN'S KACK. Mr. Labouclicrc treats the public to the following extract from a book pub lished in the seventeenth century: To tho absolute forme of a woman's Face, there goes a faire, white forehead mark ed with no wrinkles or lines, longer than that of man's is, and drawing to a roundnesso about the temples, that it seems to represent a Turkish bowo in verted, wherein there appears not any tumour or gibosity, or any cloud, no severity or sadncsc, but a plea-ant and modest clieorfulne.-.-e, a face round, pleasant, and elegant to behold. A little mouth somewhat or scarce open ing, small while teeth, somewhat short, even, and in number just twenty-eight, not thin, nor too hard closed together; somewhat full lips. Corall, imitating vernuuion, a little tiisjoyned, yet so as the teeth are just covered, whilst shee holds her peace or laugheth not, un moved; that is such a woman that doth not rest, nor bite, nor suck her lips; these lips thus described add a wonder ful grace and dignity to a woman's visage. Neither is tho noe to be omitted, the honor and ornament of the visage, which represents the out ward size of a Rose, of a tucane size, strait, clcane, with certaine obtuse nesse acute, but the holes of the nos trils small. A round, smooth pill'd or smooth chin, the candor whereof seems to introduce into the beholder's mind a certaine suspition of a Rose colour, but no traiet at all, nor any perception of haire is to bo seen, neither on tho lips nor chin. A small, short, purple tongue most certainly doth becomo a woman, which is yet scarce or never seen, tho tip scarce appearins; while shee speaks; the eyebrows ought to be black, subtle, disjoyncd, soft and sweetly arched. Somewhat black eyes, declining to smallnessc, concave, roll ing, laughing, pleasant and shining. The Bals of the Cheek3 round, alto gether void of hairs, lleshic, rosie, and resembling tho red Sunshine Apples of Autumnc. Above these remains the Temples, which ought to bo no lesso white than the Forehead, and without suspicion of any bones, yet not swoln or depressed but in a manner a little scarce; ears graven, somewhat short soft and delicate, aspersed with the de lucid colour of Roses. The whole head rather little than great, more round than a man's, comely, erect and ele vated. HOSIERY. A plain spoken Paris lady writes to an English magazine: There is very little hew in hosiery this year, except that the black dies are really fast now, and that manufacturers have been .turning their attention to making the hose durable as well as good looking, hence, very many of them are spliced and have doublo heels so that you can wear shoes without any fear of the tops cutting at the back of the ankle, or of toes poking through beforo their time. Laced stockings have been brought out, and are liked by those who object to garters, and who have not yet adopted suspenders. The front of the stocking is slit from the top to tho knee, strengthened by a facing and laced with a smooth lacing string. This lacing prevents the stock ing from slipping down, at the same timo causing it to fit neatly above the knee. Plain colored stockings, exactly matching the dress, are the most fashionable, some plain wove, some ribbed, but this year the ribs are wider. Still open-rib and elaborately embroid ered stockings are worn by those who can afford them, especially with shoes. If you want a good-wearing woolen stocking, get one made of alpaca wool, wiry, light, warm and strong. If you desire to match a dress, and not take a great deal of wear out of thorn, there is a new make of cheap, pure, silk stockincs brought out in all colors. Balbriggan. woolen, silk and spun are the choice of stockings for winter wear. Americans and Parisians affect the stockings striped from top to toe, with two colors, or black and a color. Peo ple with weak circulations will like to know that they can have spun silk stockings with lleccy lining., and also armlets in silk or nit-rino, woven so that they can be slipped on to legs and arms in a minute. To tlie-c people I would recommend weiring a Shetland spencer with long sleeves under the bodice of their dre.. Nothing is so warm and it takes up no room. A BALL ROOM TOILET. A handsome ball-room toilet for a young married lady consists of a long, square-cut train of cream satin, and plain skirt of rich gold brocade; this is cut out in wide shallow tabs, with a box-plait of satin below. At the top of each slit are small marabout feathers, all spotted and sparkling with gold, from the sides of the waist hang sash ends of ribbon, which are loosely tied up on the front of the skirt and fall in long loops to its edge. The low-pointed bodice is prettily trimmed with a shaped-out full bertha of old lace studded with gold-headed pins. On the right of the basque there is also a pouf of the golden-tipped feathers. A sec ond costume is of black beaded tulle and black satin worked with jet leaves, the front of the skirt being entirely covered with embroidery and bordered with a heavy niching of satin. The water-fall back is of close-gathered tulle, thickly sewed with small loops of cut beads. Down each side of tho skirt are short tongues of black satin with ribbon bows placed at the points, and about the hips is a short festooned scarf. A striking black velvet gown has tho back cut in one, en princesse, and is made with a very long train, edged with a frilling of lace. The front of the skirt is shaped at the edge, the pointed tabs boiug beaded with butterflys of jet and everywhere bor dered with lace. Beneath the tabs is a narrow box-plaiting of velvet. The bodice is pointed in front at the waist, and is much mixed with lace at the neck and sleeves. A jabot of lace mixed with jet btittcrilies is arranged on the chest. Ameneati Queen. TABLE-COVERS AND SCARFS. It seems that tho fashion for table covers and scarfs is not waning, for they are continually being made, and new devices are employed in their decoration. A pretty one was recently made of dark cardinal sateen, lined with yellow; on each end is a broad band of plush or velvet of the same color, but of a deeper shade; it is fin ished on each end with tassels, and above the band is a vine in delicate Kensington needle-work; and. by the way, todoono piece of this needle-work well is more satisfactory than to do half a dozen in the Kensington paint ing. That .is so easilr done that a great many women take one lesson, 'and then go on "-daubing," and fancy that they are really artistic in it.' An other table scarf is of felt ami i- - !- to j.u.i.i- .ill round. The ends have thrco deep points on each; between tho points a tassel is hung. A few inches above the points on each end a scroll of velvet is applied, and the edo-e of the velvet is outlined with gilt braid or tine cord. Another of drab felt has a bouquet of autumn leaves in velvet ap plied, and the ends of the felt are slash ed to make tho fringe. Yellow sateen makes elegant table scarfs, and with broad bands of crimson plush and deep embroidery in various colors above tho band it is toned down so that there is nothing glaring or too pronounced about it.

Akin to bronze are olive hues running through many shades from dark to light. Both are exceedingly fashionable, anil come up with a pres tige that overshadows many other color-, hitherto much favored. A rich shade of Russian blue is shown in cam el's hair goods, cheviots anil French cashmeres which is exceedingly hand some. Not less noticeable are superb wino and garnet shades, attractive in themselves by reason of the warmth and glow they impart in the colder seasons of the .rear, or as resulting in unique and gorgeous combinations, when used in conjunction with other rich, harmonizing shades. Marine blue. iiko seal Drown, seems endowed with a perennial existence, and holds, as it in variably does, a noticeable position in tho world of fashionable colorings. "Two-tone" Mendings continue in fa vor, and in delicate evening uilks these effects are very popular. The art of blending seems to have reached its height in some of the exquisitely shad ed shot silks and satins, with their rare lights and shadows, and a sheen of silver over all. A'eio Yorl Evening Post. How a Train Was Saved. "I see in the paper," said an old en- Sipcer, "that they have arrested a ickle-Plate driver over in Indiana for failing to stop his train at a grade crossing in time to prevent an accident. His defense is that the rails were slip pery. That reminds me of one of my own experiences. Several years ago I was running a fast express one night. We were three hours behind time, and if there's anything in the world I hate it's to finish a run behind schedule. These grade crossings of one-horso railroads are nuisances to the trunk lines, and we had a habit of failing to stop, merely slacking up for 'em. At this crossing I had never seen a train at that time of the night, and so I rounded the curve out of the cut at full tilt. I was astonished to see tho target set up against me, though I had time enough to stop. But it was a down grade there and the track was very slippery, and to add to the danger my air didn't work right I whistled sharply to have the target set clear for me, but on looking I saw that a freight train was standing right over the cross ing, evidently intending to put a few cars on our switch. I wish I could tell you what my thoughts were at that moment. I gave the danger whistle and tried to stop my train, but I had seven heavy sleepers on and we just slid down that grade spite of every thing I could do .Now .comes the sur prising part of the story. Quicker than lean tell you thebrakemanon the freight train uncoupled a car just back of our crossing and signaled his engi neer to go ahead, which he did sharp ly, but barely in time to let ns through. In fact, the pilot of my engine took the buffer off that rear car. 1 hrough that little hole- we slipped, and lives and property were saved. Now that brake man was only a common railroader, yet he saw that situation at a glance. There wasn't time to run bis whole train off the crossing, nor even half of it barely time to pull up one car length by prompt, quick work. He kept his wits about him as I venture to say not one man in a thousand would have done, and saved my reputation, if not my life. He is now a division superintendent on one of the best roads in this country; and may good luck go with him." Train Talk in Chicago Herald. The Beds of tbe German Peasantry. The dwelling houses or, rather, the apartments ara-at ono end of the barn, and are separated from the store-room for hay and grain by a brick partition. The sleeping apartments are made in the walls of the room.those in the kitch en and dining-room being used by the family, while the one in the parlor is reserved for the stranger within their gates. The walls selected for the beds are the outside ones, as they are thick enough to make a bed of the average width. The walls are plastered nicely, and tho beds aro simply a niche large enough for a bed, the wall presenting an unbroken surface, save tho opening where you get into bed. These open ings are sometimes of an ordinary height, while others require a step-ladder to reach them, to the complete dis comfiture of the festive bed bug. The beds are made first of a lot of loose straw, surmounted by a thick feather mattress. This is covered with a sheet, while above it is another mattress of fine feathers made light enough to serve as covers. Just imagine the feelings of an American who has to make" and unmake his toilet after getting into bed! The opening in the wall is closed by a calico curtain, except the spare bed in the parlor, which has doors of wood that are opened and shut at pleasure. Ingleside. m The Study or Fingcr-Nalls. Phrenology and chiromancy have long ago become established branches of pseudo-science, and books and pam phlets on these subjects are within the reach of everybody. There is, howev er, a new branch of the curious meth ods of physical research into psychical character, which is as yet very little de veloped. It is the study of the finger nails, the shape and color of which are said to indicate certain traits of charac ter. Finger nails, according to the ex perts of the new fad, if long and slen der, denote imagination and poetic feelings, love of art, and laziness; if long and flat, they aro the sign of prudence, good sense, and grave men tal faculties; if wide and snort, of an ger and rudeness, controversy, and ob stinacy; a healthy color signifies virtue, health, happiness, courage, and liber ality; dry and brittle nails are signs of anger, cruelty, quarrel, culminating ev en in murder; curved in the shape of claws, hypocrisy and wickedness; soft, feebleness of body and mind; and, last ly, we are told that short nails, gnaw c"d down to the tlesh, signify silliness and dissipation. Whichlast injunction would make it worth while to commend the study of nails at least to schoolboys laboring under the burden of mathe matical studies, or the heavier corvee of an unwelcome imposition.
