From the Poughkeepsie News-Press. ‘The long slope down Union street is a favorite resort for coasting. School children and some not school children entertain themselves in the afternoon with their sleds, and the fun grows fast and furious at times. To attempt to des- cribe @ young lady on a sled is an effort that makes the pencil falter. The immensity of the task is quite too much, Owing to the size and shape of thesled and the objections that theyoung men who manage the affair have to her drag- ging her feet upon the ground the young lady has to seat herself in a manner which might vul- garly be called straddling. But she does this with grace and catches up her dress withsuch pretty art, as to make it appear one of the natural and easy attitudes. Then, when the sled 1s shoved off and begins to gather momentum in its de- scent, she clings trustingly to the coat of the Young gentleman in front of her. When it be- gins to dash along and strike flro out of the ground she utters @ little scream and throws er arms about his neck.

The Method of Treatment, the Effect of At, ete. It is said to be a fact that more persons are to- day taking hot water for various allmeyts than any single drug in our pharmacopa@ia. The benefits that result from the internal use of hot water must be due, in part, at least, if not wholly to heat, said Dr. Ambrose L. Ranney in a recent lecture before the academy of medicine, in Hartford. Some of the effects are manifested almost immediately in organs connected di- rectly with the digestive apparatus. RULES FOR ADMINISTRATION, 1. The water may be taken in doses of from one goblet to one-and-a-half. An ordinary gob- let contains about ten ounces. The dose must be modified in accordance with its effects. 2. It must be drunk hot, and not warm (110 to 150 degrees.) If necessary, fifteen minutes or more may be consumed in sipping a goblet- ful. Wooden cups prevent the water from cool- ing quickly. The water may be flavored with ar, salt, ginger, ete., if necessary, but : y agreeable to the palate without such after the patient has taken it for a short time. 3. The dose must be taken one hour and ahalf before each meal with absolute punctuality,and one at bed time. Patients have the firsi dose brought to their bed-ide, and consume It before rising. ‘The passage of the fluid Into the intes- tine, or its absorption before the meal, is insured by this rule. The quantity n daily must be Miodified acvording to the effects produced. 4. The temperature of the water should be in- creased as fast as the patients can bear it. It is remarkable how high a degree of heat some pa- tients can endure after taking hot water for months. At first such a temperature would blister the mouth, Below 110 degrees the heat is not sufficient, a8 arule,to have any effects, SAVC as an emetic. 5. The administration of hot water must b continned ix months in order toge its full etic te me weeks, as a ral before any beneficial effects bee marked! apparent. It is not suflicie & test of i value that it be giv with variable degrees of temperature. The use of cold fluids, in the form of bever- ages, must be absolutely prohibited, A restricted diet is often necessary to the full effects of the treatment, in some forms of ner- vous derangements. It is customary with some atients to forbid all sweets, pastry, fresh bread many form and fats. The sour wines are not usually forbidden, uor is tea or coffee, unless they are apparently injurious to the patient. The condition of the subject, in respect to flesh is a guide, asa rule, to the character of the diet prescribed, provided that marked disturbances to digestion are not to be combated. EFFECTS OF THE TREATMENT. 1. On drinking a goblet of hot water.for the first time asense of warmth within the stom- ach will be produced, unaccompanied with nausea. Eructations of gas from the stomach commonly oecur within a few minutes after the first dose of hot water. This effvct may pe! sist for seme weeks, Exeessive eructation in- Gicates that fermentation of food occurs after eating, . 2. The skin soon shows the effect of the heat. A gentle glow, with a tendeney to perspiration, is developed rapidly. This is diffused over the entire body, Coldness of the extremities ts n at irregular intervals, often very much benefited, and In a short time, by this treatment.

The question may be raised if this one habit alone has not done more harm to the nervous systems of men than tobacco or alcohol. CONCLUSIONS, 1, It is harmless if properly administered. A degree of temperature that can be endured by the mouth wiil not impair the integrity of the stomach. Many of us drink coffee and tea at an equally high temperature, and in as large quantities as are compatible with the hot water treatment.

Some of these are important factors in the deveiop- ment of nervous derangements, 4. It appears that the curative influence of hot water is not usually transient. In many cases the symptoms have shown no tendency to return when once checked by it use, pro- vided the patient's indiscretions do not lead to arelapse. 5. Itmay be employed as an adjunct to all recognized methods of treatment, without det- riment to the patient, 6. It exerts a marked influence upon disturb- ances of the nerves, 7. In diabetes andinsome kidney derange- ments its action asa diuretic is quite remark- able in some cases. 8. Asa laxative, hot water has a slow but de- cided action.

For full dress the regular “swallow-tail” has, ofcourse, the lead, but we are pleased to note that great liberties are being taken with this sedate, timeand usher honored garment. Each of our leading houses has its own pet ideas about the most artistic form. In fact, diver gence of opinion has recently developed which unmistakably illustrates a feeling of decided dissatisfaction with the iron-bound laws which have been so lang obeyed in the production of this coat. The style we have represented 4s, rhaps, the most popular, but others are much. favored. Instead of the élightly-rounded cor- ners at the hips and bottom of skirt, some lead- ing artists make sharp. angles. ad of the strap reaching to the lapel, some extend the skirt only to the V, adding the width of the strap to the length of fore-part; some make the shawl collar and some omit’ the lapel seam when the skirt finishes at the V. But, however opinions differ as to the most artistic of the va- rious expressions named, all are agreed in mak- ing the lengths medium, the lapels light and well peaked, or the roll ‘light if of the shawl form; the sleeves moderately narrow and the collar small, Worsteds are generally used, and the edges ire generally bound very natrow. Broadcloth ts more popular with elderly men, with raw edges or corded. The facings show to the end of the holes and peaked lapels; sleeves are finished with cuffs and holes and buttons. Black is mostly used, but colors are steadily gaining in popularit; THE DOUBLE-BREASTED FROCK 4s as popularasever. For day dress there 1s no other style so suitable, and it is alsoa great favorite for business wear by professional men and others whose business requires them to be particularly well dressed. It is made about the same as last fall, the changes being a lower roll and slightly wider shoulders, with sleeves a trif_e larger. ‘The lengths are the same. They are made with five holes in each lapel and close with four buttons, For spring wear all dark colors are used, but for summer various shades of gray and other light colors and mixtures promise to be popular. The facings always show to the end of the holes, and the edgings of the goods, if dark, are either bound or flat braided, but close to the edge. The sleeves are finished to imitate cuits, generally with one, but sometimes with two holes and buttons, MORNING COATS: Are made to close with four, three or one but- ton, the four-button form being decidedly the most popular. The features common to these forms are high shoulder seams, wide back scyes, moderately curved side-seams, moderate waist and full length, moderate width of back at waist, wider shoulders afd larger sleeves than last season, a lower opening than last season and’ more general ease.. The four and three buttoners’ ure of about the same length and form, the three showing only a trifle more of the vest than the four, ‘The lapels of both are moderately light, and turn from three and ahalfto four inches.’ The Une of fronts shows a very subdued angleat the lower button, and the skirts are only moderately cut away. ‘The corners of the skirt are cut away with Tather angular sweep, not @ full, free round. Flaps are rarely placed on the waist seams un- less the fabric Is a pronounced pattern, “The one-button coat is cut with a full, free swee from top of lapels to midway of the skirt an then boldly rounded to bottom, ‘The fronts are made to Close to top button or ‘to roll free. Sleeves for the three forms are about one inch narrower at the elbow than at the top, and are not much hollowed on under arm seam. They are finished to imitate cuts, with one hole and button. The edges are finished with binding, puton halt and half or flat braided with me- ium width braid. WALKING-COATS, A style which will enjoy some favor !s made with a waist length of twenty anda full Jength of thirty-two Inches, This coat is but slightly cut away in front, rolls about the same as a morning coat, and has rather wider shoulders. Made from ehecked or -plaided goods, it is a Very attractive garment. SACK COATS. No matter what other styles may be {n favor, the sack always enjoys a considerable popular- ity. For office and business wear there 1s no other style so comfortable, convenient and sult- able, and for this reason no other can displace the Sack in popular favor. Besides these advam tages, the sack looks well in,and is better adapt- ed to, the more pronounced styles of fabric than any form of the frock. For the coming season the four button witha light roll, say four inches deep, with the fronts boldly’ rounded from the lower button, will be ta favoritestyle. ‘The straight front will be considerably worn also. The one-button cutaway will be quite popular for summer. The fronts are cut awgy with a tull,free sweep from the breast andboldly rounded at the bottom. These coats will inva- Tiably be made to roll free and will generally be worn with the lapels turning nearl? to the lower button, The length will be about the same as last fall, ond will be gov- erned by the knuckles’on a well-proportioned man. The back is Jess closely fitted than last season, but is tolerably well defined. The shoul der seams are almost on top of te shoulders, and the shoulders are slightly wider than for @ rock. The sleeves are of medium size, and are nished to imitate shallow cuffs with hole and button, or have a small rounded vent, with stitching around just above, and one button. On the cutaway the fadags sometimes show to end of collar, but self-facing will atso be po) lar, For early spring and for aqua.ic burpgses the double-breasted sack will be fvorn. The Jengths and general features are the same as for the single breast. The lapels gre moderately peaked, but by nomeans wide. The buttous are four-and-+-half inches back from the edge, and all the corners are sharp. Edges are flat-braided when goods permit, otherwise they are stitched either Close to the edge with two rows, or with one row close to edge and the other three- eighths of an inch further back. The wide stitching ts generally contined to the cutaway and double-breasted form. ———— e+ ___ Old Newspapers. From Harper's Bazar. ‘They are of more use than would appear at a first glance.

Where the Gondola Rears Its Young and Art is More Popular than Sonp. Bill Nye in the New York Mercury. ‘We arrived in Venice last evening, Intitude 45 degrees 25 minutes north, longitude 12 de- gress 19 minutes east. Venice is the home of the Venitian, and also where the gondola has its nests and rears its young. This is the town where the “Merchant of Venice” used todo business, and the home of Shylock, a broker, who sheared the Venitian lamb at the corner of the Rialto and the Grand a He is now no more.

He is cailed the gondolier. Sometimes he sings in a low tone of voice and in a forelgn tongue. Ido not know where I have met so many foreigners as Ihave here in. Europe, unless it was in New York at the polls. Wherever I go hear a foreign tongue. I do not know whether these people talk In the Ttallan language just to show offor not. Per- haps they prefer‘it.

I have oftea thought that if Venice would run less to art and more to soap she would be more apt to win my respect. Art 4s all right to a certain extent, but it can be run in the ground, It breaks my Heart to know how lavish nature has been with water here, and yet how the Venitians scorn to investigate its bene- fits. When a gondolier gets a drop of water on him he swoons, Then he lies in a kind of coma till another gondolier comes along to breathe in his face and revive him. 200 AN ERA OF GIMCRACKS. The Sort of Nest That Newly-Mated Pairs Fit Up in a Crowded Town. From the New York Mirror. Ihave been up town lately, visiting a prett friend of mine, whose husband has a salary $5,000 a year, and how Jolly comfortable they | might be on it if they were not permeated with | the principles of this era of rot. They have established themselves in a stock apartment house, where liveried servants tend the door and run the elevator. The light of heaven reaches them through stained glass and it falls in sickly greensand purple3on tesselated floors They hive in a series of closets, the smallest of | them being the bed room. But they have no end of drapery and hangings. They have bought, with no discrimination and less taste, a lotot pictures+real Daubinas, They are wonder- fully framed, but the flames are already open- ing in every corner. They stand on. fancy easgels’and the veneers are ng offand stick- ing out like somany onion skins. There is no end of silver plating on the open grates and th doors of the establishment; but my friend, b ing of @ neat turn, has polished it so thorouzhi: that after six months’ occu nancy the silver is all off and streaky black takes its place, The house itselfhas been built perhaps two y and amoreshabbily put together edifice heartofiman never conceived and Hand of man never put up.

In the hearing of the contest of the will of the late Hugh J. Hastings, on Tuesday, a witness Was asked why the late Judge Folger once made @ remark derogatory to.some of the executors, This then ovcufred, according toa reporter in the Tribune; Mr. Conkhing, turning to Surrogate Rollins, then said: “Ishall not undertake a defense of Mr. Folger's memory. I knew him for thirty years as & judge, a legislator, and an executive officet of large experience, again as a judge, and then asa minister of finance. (Turning to Mr. Ransom), I never coaxed and persuaded him to be a candidate for governor and then stabbed him in the back or broke his heart and drove him to lis grave. * * © I can well under- stand how my friend might be inter in the memory of Judge Folger. Judge Folger accepted the position of arbiter, and one side repudiates his decision, and so I can understand how he came to make this remark.” The Mr. Ransom referred to is Mr. Rastus W. Ransom, formerly and soon again to be a law partner of Chester A. Arthur. The person to whom Mr. Conkling ascribed the conduct to Which he attributed the death of Judge Folger is Mf. Arthur himself. Mr. Conkling has thus enlivened a proceeding In probate with an at- tack upon the Presideat of the United States, ofa nature which ts stfficlently indicated by its words, Aside from the conduct credited to the Pres- ident by Bz. Conkling, which is a matter the wWrangilng stalwart partisans, who have been beaten by their party and "beaten by their coaniry, 2an settle with themselves, the Hagle Wishes ‘distinatly and with Knowledze ‘to say this: The death of Charles J. Folger was due to a disorder of the kidneys and the liver. ‘That disorder had its origin in causes entirely physical and of a date long preceding Gen. Arthur's accession to the presidency or to the ‘vice presidehtial nomination. Mr. Folger Was several {itnes prostrated by It when ho was on the appélils bench. He left that court in the belle? that new duties and a change of cli- mate would benefit his health. This belief, concurring with the public reasons which lei him to become Secretary of the Treasury was verified by events. His removal to Wash: ington prolonged a Ufe which continued resi- dence in Albany would have ended years be- fore the date of his decease. The effect of his nomination and defeat on his health will be a matter of speculation. A mortal malady was certainly rded by his removal to Washington. That is a fact. After bis de- feat he continued in the Treasury under President Arthur. That 1s a fact. He was a man with a high senso of honor and self-respect. ‘That ts a fact, 1s it conceivable that he believed the President capable of the conduct declared by Mr. Conkling—and atill kept in his service? It {semphatically not. All the talk about his defeat “breaking his heart and driving him to his grave” is nonsense, and worse than non- sense to any man who knows the fucts. The savage and treacherous course ascribed to Mr, Arthur by Mr. Conkling {s contradicted by the relations between Judge Folger and Mr. Arthur up to the former's death. The accusation made by the ex-Senator {s brutal, Indecent, and, we regret to say, characteristic of his unlicensed tonued as a licensed attorney. oo Catehing an “ Express” Train. From the Territorial Enterprise. Several men were at Wabuska the other day to say good-bye to one of their number who was going north, Just as the train was fairly under way the departing vaquery shouted back that he had left hisovercoat. A shortseareh resulted in finding the article and a hurried discussion arose as to the best way of restoring it toits owner, when it was suggested that, had they been quick enough, one of them might have caught the train on’his horse. The suggestion was like a flash of fire to powder One glance after the fast disappearins in and Dan Far!: was in the saddle, plunging both rowels in his eed and away and away, over ditches, through the sagebrush, up the hills and down the hollows, riding as though for dear life, ikea madman or, more reckless still, like a thorough-blooded cow- boy. It was a hard run, but in a mile and ahalf Dan overhauled the train and the conductor slackehed speed so that he could deliver the coat. It is needless to say that Dan rode a good horse.

It is estimated that £1,000 will cover the damage done by the explosion in the tower. The explosion in the house of commons did more injury to the upholstery, but even there it is estimated that everything can be restored for less than £10,000. We have not yet heard how much it will cost to repair the br iy lass in Westininster hall, but it will, probably Go tess than £5,000. On the whole. £20,000 ce, presents the outside dumage done by the three carefully plantied explosions about which all the world has been talking.

This huge London of ours, in which are the nerve-centers of the empire, the rulers of our world-encircling realm, crowded as it is with vast and incalculable treasures of every kind, has been exposed for two years and more to the attack of conspirators Who have the whole armory of science at the disposal of agents absolutely free from seruple or remorse, Never was so vast,so vulnerable a el ex- posed to the matic@and ingenuity of the sol- ters of despair.
