Tli Latest la Turbans, Toques, Round
Hats and Flower Ilonneta.
As the season advances, milliners
talk less of toques for morning bat?,
and commend round Spanish turbans
for wearing with tailor gowns and shop
ping toilettes. These are not the gen
uine toreador hats, but are modifica
tions of them, with the box brim closer
against the crown; and instead of pom
pons and grelots for trimmings, there
are half-wreaths of some very small
flower, with upright loops of crape or of
ribbon. A black Neapolitan turban
with a wreath of forget-me-not or of
mignonette or of arbutus is not consid
ered too dressy to wear with the sim
plest woolen gown in the morning.
The ribbon hats worn last season are
also made again of gros grain satin
egged ribbon to match wool dresses.
The shapes vary, some of them project
ing slightly in front, others being mere
ly turban shapes; but all are compact
and close, and the ribbon loops of which
they are made come forward from the
back, and are usually higher there than
in front. .
The tendency is toward such showy
flower-laden hats that even the tailors
and hatters fail to supply simple de
signs for conservative tastes. A com
promise ordered by women who dress
quietly is the slender toque of black
Neapolitan, with a twist of crepe de
Chine along the edges, and wings or a
bird for trimming, or else the toque is
of open lace straw sewed together, of
braids chosen by the wearer, and
trimmed with two rosettes of crepe de
Chino or of satin directly in front, with
some pointed ends of velvet ribbon set
upward from their midst, and narrow
velvet ribbon strings brought from the
back of the crown to tie in a small bow
on the loft side. The rosettes may be
alike, or else one of a becoming color,
and the other black, as aubergine loops
of satin ribbon with a rosette of bias
black satin drawn round and round; or
olse there are two shades of crape in
the rosettes, one of ecru, the other dark
brown, or one of pale green and the
other dark myrtle groen. The velvet
ribbon strings match the darkest shade,
or else they are black, and only an inch
vvide.
The boat-shaped hats of last year are
the favorite English walking hats for
young ladies, and are made of open
straws or of thin Neapolitan braids for
morning and traveling, and of shirred
tulle black, green or brown for dreggy
afternoon wear. Gold ribbon an inch
and a half wide, more flexible than
galloon, yet of woven metal threads, is
the trimming for many of these bats; it
surrounds the crown close at the back,
and is brought forward to the front of
tho peaked brim, and tied there in a
small bow. llib.xm loops are added at
the back on morning hats, but flowers
trim those of tullo for afternoon, as a
fow Ion y-ate mined pink roses laid along
the front, and hold by the bow of gold
ribbon.
Flower bonnets are still very fashion
able, tho newest being of two wreath9
lying fiat on tho head, like bandeaux or
fillets, with open spaces between. Oth
ers have a coronet of jet or net next the
face, with a wreath of yellow or pink
roses crowning the open center, and a
high black aigrette. Itlack velvet pan
ales, violets, or daisies with yellow cen
ters form flat wreaths on dark bonnets,
and are considered very elegant garni
tures, and not elderly looking. When
flowers are used to cover the whole
crown, those of unusual coloring are
selected, as sweet-pea blossonig that
look well with the stylish pinkish pur
ple velvet riblons, or nasturtiums of
varied tints with brown velvet strings,
or else dark gilly-ftowers are massed on
the crown, with lighter velvet quilled
along its edges and tied in bow in
front holding some green leaves erect as
an aigretto. These with bonnets of
green roso leaves are now preferred to
the familiar violet and rose potaled
bonnets. Harper's Bazar.

iit at K in ru, in the State of New
York. The Concord prison, although
ntyle'1 "the Massachusetts Reforma
tory," is practically a State convict
prison; for its inmates include the worst
class of criminals, amongst whom are
many burglars, robbers and common
thieves, together with others guilty of
arson, forgery, manslaughter and at
tempted murder. Thus, out of the 664
prisoners released from the establish
ment in 1SS9, there were 94 who had
been convicted of burglary or house
breaking, and 125 thieves and rob
bers. Even convicts guilty of cap
ital crimes may be legally com
mitted to Concord "Reformatory."
the difference between it and ordi
nary prisons being that the age of its
inmates must not exceod forty years on
entry, and that they must not have
been convicted more than three times
previously. But. once within its walls,
the convicts find themselves in a com
parative paradise. In the first place,
the maximum period of detention is
only five years, even for the most
atrocious offenders. And by means of
the "graded" system of "indetermin
ate sentences, legalized for special
application at this establishment, its
inmates may, by good behavior, obtain
their liberty in eleven months, instead
of the five years' maximum. As at El-
mi ra, Intellectual study and high-class
teaching are prominent elements in the
dally routine. The report, issued 1890,
gives a list of sixty-five persons, chiefly
clergymen and professors, who, during
the past year, delivered addresses on
various subjects to the prisoners. The
topics selected included, amongst many
others, the following: Profit and
Profitsharing; Socialism from a
Christian Standpoint; the Early
Church; an Evening in the
British House of Commons; Luck
and Pluck; Monks and Nuns, etc.
The regular classes for study were for
political economy, music, architectural
drawing. mathematics and other
branches. There are periodical exam
inations, which furnish a basis for the
apportionment of good marks, which
materially expedite the period of lib
eration. Amongst the questions and
tasks recently put at examination times
were such as these: "Describe recti
linear perspective, telling wherein it
apparently is false when compared with
curvilinear." "Draw a spiral with In
struments." "What is meant by di
vision of labor, and how does it In
crease labor's productiveness?" "Ex
plain the law of 'diminishing returns'
by a clear illustration. "What per
centage of dictionary words are of
Anglo-Saxon origin?" etc. The drawing
;lass execute freehand designs in terra
cotta, plaster and stucco; also designs
for internal and external house decora
tion in wood, iron, stone and cop
per. There is a debating society,
a scientific and literary club, and
an athletic society in the prison. There
is a Protestant minister, Rev. Mr. Batt,
and a Catholic priest, Kev. Father Crow,
both of whose labors are highly com
mended in the report. A farm of aboul
100 acres Is worked by the prisoners.
There are 63 head of cattle and 50(
3wine upon It. There Is in the establish
ment a printing-office, and. as atElmira,
a weekly newspaper is printed and
Dublished by the prisoners. But, noV
withstanding all the various studies
and pursuits encouraged by the authori
ties, it is admitted that many of the
Inmates hate honest labor. Rev.
Mr. Batt naively records: "In our more
private prison meetings I have repeat
edly endeavored to discuss the subject
of dellgence; b'4t J have rarely been
able to escape the feeling that rnany of
the prisoners did not want the mattei
talked about with any freedom.
Some of the opponents have ex
pressed fears that such discussions
might lead to an increase of tasks in
the work-shops. Others have said: "I
will work when I get out of here, when
I can work for wages; but I don't want
to bear any thing about work here.'
Others, claiming to be friends, have
besought me to desist, lest 1 should
break up my meetings " This prison U
a very costly one to the State. Last
year the expenses were $165,000, includ
ing salaries and wages. Four-fifths of
the inmates of tho prison are native
Americans and one-fifth foreigners.
There are sixty -one resident officers, of
whom forty-five have salaries ranging

Aa Old. Fashioned Story with a Moral at
the End of It.
One day as Farmer Brill was sitting
under the wide-spreading branches of
his favorite apple tree a boy about
fifteen years of age, whose appearance
indicated that he was both tired and
hungry, came along from the direction
of Boston and halted and said:
"If you please, kind sir, would you
let me cull a few harvest apples to fill
up the vacuum in my stomach ?"
Now, farmer Brill was noted as a
very stingy man. While he was strict
ly honest he was so stingy that he
wouldn't sharpen his axe for fear of
wearing out the grindstone. The request
of the boy so paralyzed him that he
gasped for breath, and for several min
utes was unable to speak. He was
about to jump up and give the young
ster a blast which would scare him out
of a year's growth, when some strange
power restrained him, and much to his
amazement he found himself replying:
"Yes, my good boy, you can have a
whole bushel if you want them."
"Thanks, kind sir," replied the boy;
"Heaven will surely reward you for
your great liberality."
He climbed over and began to put the
largest and finest apples where they
would do the most good, while Farmer
Brill looked on in a mystified way and
wondered whether ho was asleep or
awake, The boy had eaten his fill, and
was about to request the loan of a two
bushel bag in order that he might take
some apples along to serve him as a
luncheon, when a band of Indians sud
denly burst from the sugar-bush with
blood-curdling yells and made for the
house. There were fourteen of them,
and they ware under the lead of "Jle-Who-IIankers-for-Scalps."
They had
come to kill and destroy, and as the
farmer heard them he went down into
his boots with the exclamation:
"Alas! my goose is cooked!"
But how was it with our boy hero,
whose name, by the way, was Charlies
vua Tpttenham? He took in tho situa
tion at a glante, sprang for an old
scythe hanging in a cherry:tree, and the
next instant he bounded forward with a
wild yell and shouted:
"Back cravens, or will destroy
you!"
But the cravens came on, and the work
of death began. With one powerful
sweep of this terrible weapon Charles
cut seven of them down, and at the next
only one was left alive. This was a
warrior named Pink-Eye, and with a
scceaiu pf anguish which was heard
high above the squealing of the hungry
pigs in the pen he fled to the depths of
the forest to carry the news to his chief.
"Farmer Brill, I have saved you!"
said the boy, as he stood beside the
helpless old man.
?.lJy gam, but so you have!" gasped
the man, finding his voice with a great
effort
CjThen he got up and hugged Charles,
and offered him all the young, sweet
turnips he wanted to eat and sent him
away with his blessing, and when he
came to overhaul the dead and figure up
the money and pearls and diamonds
Ipi)n4 in their Lip-pock6t he saw that
be was rich for life. Turning from the.
wagon-load of wealth at his feet to view
the boy hoofing it down the road in the
direction of Tatertown, Farmer Brill
extended his hands and solemnly ob
served: V good action is nevt thrown away

THE NAVAJO INDIANS.
Habits and Customs of a Remarkable
. Tribe or Ked Sleu.
The discussion in Congress recently
regarding tho disposition of the Navajo
Indians has attracted attention to this,
tribe anew. Inhabitants of their pres
ent location for centuries and antedat
ing in their traditions the most remote
records of the white man on this conti
nent they are in many respects the
most remarkable tribe with which tho
Government has to deal.
They differ in appearance from the
typical, dirty redskins of the plains.
They are tall and well-formed, having
a clear, olive-brown complexion, and
are lacking in the other prominent feat
ures of the American Indian. Their
bearing is as easy and graceful as that
of a European, and they dress with com
fort The women wear a skirt that
comes nearly to the knees, and a shawi
thrown over the shoulders in the Mex
ican fashion. The men don a long frock
made of bright material and wear buck
skin knee pants and woolen stockings.
J. heir costume is exceedingly easy
and comfortable, and as the most brill
iant of colors are used, the effect of a
group of the people is decidedly strik
ing. The women have all their white
Bisters' love of finery, and feathers dip
ped in the strong dyes manufactured by
them ornament their heads and shawls.
The men have a helmet-shaped cap
that is likewise ornamented, and gives
them, at a little distance, the appear
ance of being typical stage warriors.
The old Abrahamic government is
their tribal form of management The
wealthiest men aro the chiefs or lead
ers, and each has a set of retainers
resembling the servitors of the feudal
lords of Scotland. Tho chiefs consult
at stated periods and decide what shall
be done with the possessions of the
tribe. It is estimated that thev have
on their ranges nearly 8.000,000 sheep
and 20, 000 horses, besides large herds
of cattle. As the tribe consists of
less than 10,000 members the wealth
quite respectable. It is con
stantly being added to by their sales of
ornamental articles manufactured by
them. Thej make all their own cloth
ing on looms invented and constructed
by themselves, and are also tho manu
facturers of their bridles, saddles.
spears, etc. lhey aro not rapid work
men, and as their roaming life in rude
lodges made of poles and grass is not
conducive to the preservation of their
property, not much time remains for
manufacturing any thing but blankets
for outside sale.
Woman holds an exalted place in their
estimation, which fact alone would mark
them as a peculiar race among the In
dians of America. Thev believe that a
woman places the sun in the heavens
each morning, while the stars aro sprin
kled upon the great blanket of tho sky
by a woman's hand. In strange vari
ance with this idea is the one that the
moon is carried through tho air on tho
back of a mule, the ears of which their
medicine men pretend to bo able to dis
cern. Those who have witnessed some of
their ceremonies declare them to be ex
ceedingly interesting. That of moving
tho camp is one most religiously ob
served. Tho medicine man takes from
tho chief camp-fire a burning brand.
which is carried ahead of the company
until another camp is reached. Should
the brand be extinguisheda return is
made to the original camp, where they
remain until tho following day. When
a long move is to bo made the medicine
men have a wick saturated with oil and
hidden in the brand, thus preserving
the fire. In marriage the woman is, so
to speak, the best man. The bride and
groom sit on opposite sides of a water
proof basket filled with food, of which
they partake in the presence of their
friends. By this act they are made man

to her home. The marriage relation is
not very strictly observed, but only one
legal husband or wife can bo had. St

CHARGING A REGIMENT.
An Enraged Bull's Mad Attack on General
De Trobriand's '1 roops.
Near New Kent Court House, Va.,
General De Trobriand's brigade en
camped in a field in which was an ill
tempered bull. At first the animal
seemed to pay no attention to what was
going on, but after the arms had been
stacked and the men had scattered in
all directions in search of wood and
water, he began to be excited by the
unusual stir. As he began pawing the
ground and bellowing, the dogs of the
regiment set up a chorus of barking and
immediately started in the direction of
the bull. He charged resolutely upon
the first five or six of them, and the
men hastened from all sides to enjoy
the spectacle.
The moment the bull saw that he had
enemies more -worthy of his notice, he
fell upon the nearest The men, who
had no arms except their canteens and
tin cups., took to their heels with all
haste, and their companions, seeing
that the sport was becoming serious,
made for the fence, in tho midst of cries
and laughter, the noise of which came
nearer and nearer.
Blinded by rage, worried by the dogs,
the bull in a few bounds was at tho
fi-ontgf the regiment The Lieutenant
Colonel was there at that moment giv
ing orders, when twenty voices at once
called to Kim: "Look out!" He turned
his head; the animal was almost upon
him, foaming at the mouth, fire in his
ey0s, vifch horns lowered-
With one hound the Lieutenant-Col
onel jumped to one side, his foot slipped

again turned upon us in the midst of a

On our right was the Seventh Massa

stopped near the road, and behind the
wago.-. -teS chained a flue Newfoundland
dog, 'the ' pet of the regiment The
courageous dog made frantic efferts to
get loose, and a general cry went up:
Tnrhain the dog! Unchain the dogr!"
The dpg'aa" loosed. He founded
across the road and rushed upon the en

few men, Indeed, had seized their guns,
but they could not use them for fear of
killing some of their comrades. As to

one was willing to try it
When the Newfoundland entered the
lists every thing was changed. For a
moment the dog and the bull stopped in

warriors was formed around them. -
Then followed a series of maneuvers
for position till all at once the big dog
P3a4 a feint turned sharply baclc

- The Length or Pastoral Calls."
How long should a pastoral caU be?
A Massachusetts clergyman settles this
question in an original way. He has a
fine dog which always accompanies him
in hi3 pastoral calls, nestling down in
the parlor beside his master in respect
ful silence. WThen the dog brain, with
the absolute accuracy of dog instinct
decides that the proper limit of the call
Is reached, he lifts his head, rises erect
puts his nose on his master's knee and
winks at him, saying: "Time's up."
And, thereupon, the good man makes

Why stands this crowd in the publio street?
Is tho Nation's fate at stake?
An anxious look lies in ev'ry eye
A9 tho' each heart must break.
What means this rushing of anxious raenr
What tncans that cheer's loud roar?
There's a base-ball gamo betwixt rival

And they've just put out the scor.

Not Such an Ass as He Looks.
Once upon a time there was a donkey
who was turned out to feed in a field
where there was an abundance of good
grass anl wholesome herbs. There was
a large proportion of thistles in the
fieldand the horses and cattle laughed
heartily at the donkey, who calmly
made h s meals from the prickly plants.
"How unfortunate," said they, "it is to
have such low taste," and they reveled
in luxury and made such inroads into
the supply that there was soon nothing
left but thistles. And then the donkey
smiled when ho saw them standing
around envying him his powers of di
gestion The donkey isn't always such
an ass as he looks. Washington Post
Boston has a street-railway horse
forty years old. who for twenty-five
years jogged along boforo a car runnirg
between Boston and Brookline. In that
time he never lost a trip from sickness
or disability, and actually traveled 125,
000 miles. He is now on the retired list
and will never be required by the com
pany to do any more work.
" Hello I Hello 1 1 Hello III"
"Well; what is it?"
" How is your mother, this morning 1 "
"Very much better; she had a real restful
sleep last night : she is almost rid of her nigrht
Bwcats, cough and nervousness, and is crow
ing quite cheerful. How grateful we all are
to you for that bottle of medicine."
" Don't speak of gratitude. What does the
doctor say ? "
" He eays he never saw so wonderful a
chauge in such a serious lung trouble. He
Btill thinks we are giving his medicines. I
don't like to tell him."
"That's right. He's an old friend, you
know. I'm sure your mother will get well
now ; but you won't forget the name of tho
medicine, will you ? "
" Never ! Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery " aro household words already, and it
has come to stay. Do come and see what sun
Rhine it has brought already, and let us thank
jou again for it."
" I will. Good bye."
Tho foregoing is a fair representation of a
very common occurrence. "Golden Jledicsil
Discovery" lias cured eevere, lingering coughs
and arrested Consumption, or Lung-ecrof ula,
in thousands of cases after doctors have failed
and other medicines have been tried und aban
doned as useless. Tho " Discovery " is guar

taken in time and gi cu a fair trial, or money
