Several new and pretty shades of lilac

Full velvet sleeves are a feature of
silk and wool gowns prepared for au
tumn trousseaux.
Stuart frills of costly lace falling over
the corsage are worn on many bodices
slightlv open in the neck.
In new autumn gowns there will be
less use made of goods in combination
than of handsome solid colors richly
bordered.
.Light colored but warm woolens will
be worn all through the autumn until
the stormy days of earlv winter impose
darker tints.
'Very striking plaids are imported,
with a silk surface thrown up above soft
wool goods, and many of these are in
Madras colors.
The gray and silver shades are strik
ingly beautiful this season, and in very
many cases these tints take the prece
dence of all others.
The favorite ribbon for dress garni
ture is a rich gros grain, irregularly
striped with satin or else with a border
of satin on each edge.
Tho dull surfaced ooze calf is now
made up in dark brown and black shoes
as well as in tan and russet, and has a
soft, luxurious appearance.
Embroidery of all kinds in silk, in
metal and in beads will be one of the
principal ornaments for wiuter toilets
of all kinds, day or eveniug.
The illusion bonnets will be worn
later this season than tbev have been
hitherto, and it is said that they will
even be prepared for autumn use.
Flower bonnets and brims continue in
bigh favor. Directoire hats of black
chips are trimmed with scarfs of black
tulle and sprays of pink or lilac orchids.
The Venetian silk warp challies de
signed for demi-dress during the au
tumn are very lovely, both in color and
fabric, and their handsome velvet rib
bon trimmingsgive additional charm.
By way of preserving the general
average, the bodices worn with evening
dress are rather higher on the shoulders
since the introduction of the falling
frill sometimes worn with dav dress.
Reconciled By Music.
The Spanish and Indian Californians
were passionately food of music. All
the men could make shoes and play the
guitar, and every woman could sing
Spanish songs to her own accompani
ment. Bancroft, in his "California
Pastoral," tells how the people, after
the conquest of the country by the
United States were reconciled to the
new rule by music.
The Californians were invited to re
turn to their homes and resume their
usual occupations. Proclamations
which promised protection of their
persons and property were placarded in
the towns, but they would not come
out of their hiding places.
The Commodore whose naval force
bad helped to conquer the country wa
at Los Angelos, and. meeting Captain
PheJps, an old trader on the coast, re
quested his help.
"Commodore," replied the captain,
"you have a fine band on your ship, and
such a thing was never before in this
country. Let it play one hour in the
plaza
each day at sunset and I assure
you it will do more toward reconciling
the people than all your proclamations,
which few of them can read."
The
caDtain'ssuggestion

was adopted.
At first the children came forth and
peeped around the
comers of the houses.
A few lively tunes brought on the vivas
of the older ones, and before the band
ceased playing they were surrounded
by delighted natives.
The next afternoon the plaza wa?
thronged with the people of the town,
and wiih ranchmen from a distance.
THjjho, having heard of the wonderful
band, had ridden in. The old priest
of the mission of San Gabriel, as he sat
by the church door opposite the plaza
listening to the music, was introduced
by several of the naval officers.
.v
"I have not heard a band," said the
old man, "since I left Spain over fifty
years ago. Ah! that music will do
more service in the conquest of Cali
than a thousand bayonets."
'Inconsistent Man. ,lfl||l§
It is all nonsense to tell women not
to "make up." They will do it, and we
must confess that some ate positively
repulsive mostly because they endeavor
to do away entirely with all the dainty
Accessories so necessary to a charming
and attractive toilet. The trouble is
Mfchat so many silly women in their
Ir'ihxiety for self improvement overreach

That is the trouble.
^tHow often they are heard to declare,
in terms most emphatic, that woman's
greatest charm is in being perfectlv
natural. Now watch them, please,
when introduced to a fascinating bit of
feminity. Do' they stop to study up
cause and effects which has given that
tinge of color to the pretty white cheek,
to inquire why the eyes look so dark
and brilliant as they dance and sparkle
beneath the curly, fluffy bang? Of
course not. The inconsistent creature,
man, realizes but one thing. The girl
is lovely, and he who is so ready to
condemn is always the first to admire.
The cute little woman laughs in her
sleeve and goes on her way rejoicing,
feeling quite repaid for the extra atten
tion given to her skillful anc artistic
makeup.
He Overdid it.
An eccentric clergyman in Cornwall
had been much annoyed by a way the
members of his congiegation had got
into of looking round to take stock of
late comers After enduring the an
noyance for some time, h^ said, on en
entering the reading desk one day:
"Brethren, I regret to see that your
attention is called awav from your re
ligious duties by your very natural
desire to see who comes in behind you.
I propose, heLceforth, to save vou the
trouble by naming each person who
may enter, and I hope the service will
then be allowed to proceed without
interruption." He then began: "Dearly
beloved," but paused half way to in
terpolate, ''Farmer Stubbins, with his
wife and daughter."
Farmer Stubbing looked rather sur
prised, buf. the minister, with perfect
gravity, resumed his exhortation. Pre
sently he again paused, "Sam Curtis
and William Diggle." The abashed
congregation kept their eyes studiously
bent on their books. The service pro
ceeded in the most orderly manner, the
parson interrupting himself every now
and then to name some new comer.

In the Wrong JPTest.
A young man over in Brush Valley
township was desperately in love with
a farmer's daughter, says the Punxsu
tawaney (Pa.) Spirit. She reciprocated
the tender passion, but her father was
sullen and obdurate, and gave the
young man understand, in the moat
emphatic terms, that if he ever entered
that bouse it would be at his peril, lie
would, he said, "kick the daylights out
of him."
One night recently, when the old
gentleman had gone to Indiana to be
absent over night, the ydung man took
advantage of his absence to visit the
daughter. Thev were sitting in the
front room, both beaming with joy. It
was nearly midnight. Presently the
daughter heard a noise which she recog
nized as her father's footsteps, There
was a bed the room, and the girl
drew back the calico curtains and told
the young man to bustle under. He
did so: She had forgotten to tell
him that there was a goose un
der there engaged in a motherly
effort to hatch out a dozen young gos
lings. Scarcely had the young man
gotten himself securely stored away
when the girl's father entered. Just
about this time the old goose made a
hissing noise, drew oack Us long neck
and struck, the already frightened int
truder a smart blow on the left ear.
nipping a piece out. That was enough,
He was sure he had been bitten by a
snake, and, witlj a blood curdling yell,
the young man rushed from his hiding
place, screaming at the %p of his voice:

and I don't care a dang who knows lit"

Things Worth Remembering.
That it is dangerous to stand near a
tall tree or spireduringa thunder storm.
That the southwest corner of the cel
lar is the "cyclone safety point."
That there is no medicine so univer
sally applicable to sickness as fresh air
and sunshine.
That blowing out the gas before re
tiring is funny—to
everybody exceot the
one who tries it.
That you may swear as hard as you
please, but it will not remove grease
spots,
That the Wisconem Central is the
most popular line between Minneapolis
and St. Paul and Milwaukee and Chi
cago.

The fting Finger.
In reply to the query, "Which is the
proper engagement ring finger and
which the wedding?" Jewelers' Circular
replies: The third finger is the prefer
red one for both betrothal and marriage
rings, although efforts have been made
at various times to make the engage
ment riog finger the second. Two rea
sons are assigned for this preference of
the third digit as the ring finger. First,
the belief entertained by the ancients
that a delicate vein ran from the third
finger of the left hand to the heart.
Second, in the Roman church the thumb
and two first fingers represent the
Trinity, the third being the husband s,
"to whom the woman owes allegiance
next to God." The left hand was
chosen to show that "the woman is to
be subject to man."
In answer to the objection urged, "If
engagement and wedding ring fingers
being the same, you have got to break
the engagement, whereas you are reallv
sealing it,the authorities quoted say
"When the betrothal ring is removed to
make place for the wedding ring it is
in token that the engagement with a
fiance is at an end, and with a wifo just
begun, in a word, the marriage cere
mony ends the betrothal. The custom
of moving the engagement ring above
the wedding ring is a significent one.
for the former not only serves as a guard
to the latter, but is a constant reminder
of halcyon days whether marriage
proves a failure or not."
Traits of the Oheyennes.
In their present location the Ohey
ennes are doing nothing for themselves.
They can't farm the land they've got
without irrigation. They are smart
enough to know that if they work and
raise crops their rations will be cut down.
So they remain utterly dependent.
Their quick-witted children
go
of
(A-v..
to school
at the agency and learn to read and write
within a year. That is all the good it
does them. Imitation is one of the
strong characteristics of tbe Cheyenne.
But it will not prompt him to work for a
living as long as he doesn't have to. An
Admirable Cheyenne trait is affection for
children. The greates drawback the
teachers of the Indian school encounter
results from this trait. Indian mothers
will hang about the schoolhouse and
coax their little ones away because they
cannot bear the separation. If the Chey
ennes were put upon agricultural land
among or beside white farmers if they
were given tools and stock if their ra
tions were gradually but steadily re
duced, they would become self-sftppoft
lug. Intelligence and the imitative
faculty would co operate with necessity
and the result
self-support would be
obtained. But that kind
of.
an Indian
policy is a long way in the future, seem
ingly. Indian contracts, Indian philan
chrophy of the mistaken character, Indian
bureau patronage, and Indian indolence
will all help to postpone the solution
Uanram's Offer.
A temperance orator at Brooklyn re
cently repeated an offer that Barnum,
the showman, had once made to New
York. If they would give him the re
venue that went into the tills of the
saloon keepers he would agree to pay
the pauper tax, give each man a barrel
of flour, each family a library of 100
volumes, buy each man a good suit of
clothes, and each woman a silk dress,
and to pay, as a bonus for the privilege,
one million dollars. Barnum expected
to be cheated out of a million dollars
by talse returns in this business, but he
nevertheless counted on a profit of
seven million by the deal. This is tem
perance talk of cour banks full of
money are spent for liquor. But then
there is a lot of misery. There are
pauper?, idiots, tramps, scamna, sots,
and all kinds of blots on our civilization.
We buv these results with the money,
and we get enough of them to satisfy
us. Eich individual has it to decidB for
himself whether he cares to go into that
sort of trade or not.
