It is, instead, fastened by a number of minute buttons and buttonholes on the left side seam; these are continued around the arm, following the exact shape of the sleeve, and thence proceeding up the shoulder seam 'to the throat. In this way the bodice is made to fit the figure like a glove. For fine figures this style is. effective, but indif ferent ones should shun it, Summer Homesruxs sre shown in plain Sroands, in wide diagonals and in stripes.

Pardee in “Dixie.” Some years ago Richard Grant White wrote a delightfully interesting book on Americanisms. He might well have divided the sublect into two parts: Yankeeisms and Southernisms. Ab- solute correctness in pronunciation or in the formation of sentences is a most difficult accom- plishment, and few there be, either North or South, who have reached such a degree of per- fection that no exceptions can be taken by “carping critics” to their utterances, In the matter of pronunciation the times are chang- ing, and one can scarcely keep pace with the innovations being introduced by the leading ortheopists. The oo of this paper is, however, to sent, In a succinct way, a few of the quaint nesses of pronunciation and construction held to by the Southern people as a class. Among these the first that comes to mind is the cus- tom of omitting the last two letters of such words as “more,” “store,” “four’—which are pronounced “mo,” “sto,” and “fo.” “What o'clock is it? you ask the Carolinian, and ten to one he tells you itis “half pas’ fo’,” if that happens to be the hour. Another common Southernism is the use of “like as if,” or “like” for the words “as if.” “She looked like she knew me” is a common expression, or “she looked like as if she’d die.” This is very common in Washington, and in ail the states south of Mason and Dixon's line. ‘The word “funny” is frequently used instead of strange, and sometimes with startling effects. Ayoung Southern girl was visiting us once, anda caller was telling of the death of her mother through swallowing a fishbone. “Oh! wasn't it funny?” exclaimea our visitor, at the end of the narrative. “I think you’ mean strange,” said the caller, as soon as she re- covered from the astonishment. Our girl friend has never used the word “funny” since. If you happen to hear anybody say “rye cheer” you may Know itis intended to mean “right here.” For instance: A South Carolinian will say, “Where was he af last night fellow-citizen will say, “He staid rye cheer with me.” Djear—pronounced in one lable—is not @ Russian word, as might be supposed; itmeans “Do you. hear} and is usually addressed to servanis inthis form: “You Jim! Bring in that wood, djear!” “To get to go” is essentially a Georgia expres- sion. They say: “Do, don't fail to come to~ night,” and the reply is: “I've tried to get to yo three weeks, now, so J reckon I'll be there Unight.” The expression, in Georgia and South Carolina, but rarely else- where. One ofthe most laughable things you ever heard {s the peculiar pronunciation of the word “abou.” It is impossible to express the South Carolinian’s pronunciation phonet! renee It sounds like abaout—pronounced very quickly in three syllables. “Quare,” for “queer,” is an- other word. The use of “reckon” for “presume” is said to have been derived from the Yankees, as was the expression “right smart” for the word “much.” : In imitation of English, perhaps, is ihe cus- tom of saying “I've it” for “I have it,” and the generat use of the word “got” where it is quite unnecessary. iso English is the use of “obliged,” as “I'm o’bliged to do it” for “I must do it;” “he is obliged to go” for “he must go.” and his Ambigulty of expression is too prevalent in Dixie, and too many people sacrifice sense for sound. ‘Low-country people and the residents of mid- dle South Carolina say “gee-arde for “gar- den,” “gee-yard” for “guard,” with the hard sound of “g.” So, too, with such words as “card,” “car,” and “cart,” into which is intro- duced the sound of “kee,” to take the place of the first consonant, thus: “kee-ard” “kee-av, “kee-art.” ‘The use of delightful for delicious in such a sentence as: “The ice cream is delightful,” is very common. “Pretty” isa word very often misused, for instance: “Isn't this a pretty day?. and this error is a very genera! one. North Curo- linians say the scenery is “pretty”—meaning picturesque, the day is “pretty”—imeaning fine, and that ‘rson’s Manners are “pretty” — meaning well-bred. “You all,” or, a8 it should be abbreviated, «y'lt,” is one of the most ridiculous of all the Soathernisms I can call to mind. It usually means two or more persons, but is sometimes used when only one person is meant. For in- stance, a caller, on taking her departure, says: “Y'll must come to see us. She means the lady upon whom she is calling and herhusband may call. ‘The Yankees have quite ae many ridiculous figures of 5] h as those Ihave mentioned as peculiarly Southern, and it will be reserved for another paper to present the oddities of Yankee conversation. In the meantime every true- hearted Southerner who reades these lines will declare that he never used any of these South- ernisms, and will be just as honest in his belief asthe Charlestonian when he vows that he never says “‘dis-a-way”’ for “this way” and “dat- @-way” for “that way.” ———— 00 __ Victoria Opening Parliament. ‘London Letter to New York Tribune. The queen appears. Her majesty moves slowly through the door with that astonishing dignity of bearing which nigh 40 years of sov- ereignty have bestowed upon her short stout figure. She is clad in deep black trimmed with ermine at the edges; low neck and long train, and her gown is better made than when she last walked through that door, near six years ago. On her head a diadem of brilliants; on her neck glows a living light which flashes to the fartest end of the hali—the priceless Kobi- noor. The Prince of Wales quits the chair by which he is standing, descends the two steps of the dais, meets bis’ royal mother, bows low, kisses her band, and conducts her to the throne; does it all with considerable grace ‘and _irreproachable humility of de- meanor. Beatrice in ruby velvet, whom it seems we are now to call the Princess Henry, and attending her majesty is the mistress of the robes (duchess of Buccleuch), and a lady of the bed- chamber whom I cannot name. Other officers of the household follow—the lord steward, the master of the horse, the captain of the yeomen of the guard, the captain of the honorable corps | of gentlemen at arms, but ov none of them do any of us bestow many glances. We are all watching the queen as she mounts the two ste and seats herself on the throne, where the Toyal robes of crimson velvet and white silk embroidered in gold, which she ought to we are hanging. When she has taken her seat the royal robes do certainly look as it they were part of the attire of the occupant of the gilt arm-chair. The procession grouped itself about the queen: The Princess Beatrice stood beside her mother on the right, the duchess of Buc- celeuch behind, and in their company two sons | ot the prince of Wales, Prince Albert Victor, in hussar uniform, and Prince George. The scene was at its height of brilliancy; is more brilliant I think than any otheranywhere now to be witnessed; brilliant with color, with | the beauty of women, with gems, with rank, with great names, with historic Cloaks and wraps had Geopeed off as the com- pany rose, and wonderful was the gleam of | white shoulders sparkling with youth and with | precious stones when this transformation was wrought. Many of these great ladies were in | black, but there were gowns of sky blue and white and rose color and many another delicate or splendid tint, and the jewels they wore | would have more than ransomed all the kings | and queens still on European thrones. A blaze ot color was everywhere, seariet for once blended with crimson, and crimson with ruby | red, the black and goid harmonizing the most diseordant dyes. A There was a long pause, the queen motioned | toher Meges to beseated; then the faithtul commons were summoned and arrived in o mob with much tumuit of voices and slam- ming of door The faithful commons testify their devotion to her majesty by their extreme impatience to arrive in her presence. Quiet restored, the lord chancellor goes down on his knees and hands a paper toher majesty, who hands it forthwith sk to him. ‘his is the queen’s speech, which the lord chancellor pro- ceeds toread. "We bad all hoped the queen would read it herself, which they say she does very well, but the fatigue of the day seems to be enough for her without that, Lord Hals- bury makes himself easily heard and we listen in dead silence. Nobody in this august pres- ence of royalty or its throne dreams of applaud- ing. And then ail is soon over. The queen rises; all rise with or before her; she descends, having Prince Albert Victor by the hand. The Prince of Wales steps forward as if to accom- pany his mother, but afier a few words she passes on alone, ‘the procession which came with her in stately measure goes out as best it can, and there breaks forth again throughout the house of lords the eager sound of voices impatient of 20 minutes’ silence. Leaving at once, I found myself at the corner of Palace yard " st asthe queen came on her return journey. ‘The carriage, and still more the Ubree flunkeys in livery who clung bebiud,were magniticeut, so were the trappings of the six cream-colored horses who drew the whole. Her Inajesty showed her face—it is a rubicund,strong visage—cheerfully out of the window, and with the clank of trotting cavalry mingied the grate- Tulsound of her cheering people. The next minute came a sound less grateful. Across the road Jeading to Westmiuster bridge was a stout barricade of timber guarded by police, and be- hind it an angry mob, who groaned. They groaned loudly and niore than once, and the queen's face as she heard it flushed ‘a dee red. The same thing, ] was told, happer another point of the ‘route. ° But I testify only to what} saw and heard. in another moment the cortege had passed and the ceremony was: over.

In his seventh lecture on evolution at Yale, last Saturday, Prof. Dana illustrated his re- marks by charts and drawings, He said the different continénts have their unity of type which points toa unity of descent, Geology here aids the theorist and supplies the proof. Certain animals which exist in South America today, the sloth and armadilio, are pre- eminently the type of animals of the past, which were much larger than those of the pres- ent. Trees are so closely like the fossils which exist in the same continents that some fossils are called by the same names as the living species. Some of the fossils ex- actly resemble the living trees. In others there are all degrees and difference, and the subsequent changes must be regarded as due to the change of cironmstances, “The geological record is very incomplete, but it has nm able to demolish’ the disthneé between the living 5 ies and their ancestors of former years. esident Marsh has found fossil birds with reptile-like teeth, and we have reptiles that walk on their hind* legs like birds. ‘The near- est bird and the nearest reptile are very far apart, but there are lines of resemblance which point'to the fact that they were of one species, Which gives hope to the evolution. These arguments have great weight, and we are sometimes almost persuaded to become. be- Hevers in evolution ourselves. It is an argu- ment in favor of the theory ot the common origin of the species through natural causes that no offspring 1s exactly like its parent. It is at least an open question whether variation, if given time, will not originate new species, All botanists’ are believers in the origin of Species from species. Change of habits through use or disuse, is a prominent way in which change and hew species occur. It the mere ceasing to move will enuse objects. to grow to- gether, may this not have been a feature in the originating of variations and species? Several ies of ants have slaves. One species is dependent on its slaves for its fooa, the making of its nest and the feeding ot itsown young. When they have to migrate the slaves carry them in their jaws. This race isevidently @ new species, tor by disuse of members they have become entirely dependent on others, thus forming an entirely new race. No recent bird has been found having teeth, but capsules have been found in the embryonic chick. It isknown that birds long ago had teeth, and these have been lost through the in- | tervening ages. ‘The fact that the rudiments of a tail exist in man may point to the iact that some of his ancestors had a tail, One of the splint boues on the side of a horse’s leg grew to a large size with @ hoof on it large enough to be shod, This Is simply a development of a toe which exists in all horses In the undeveloped state, and we are sure it existed in the ances- tors of the horse in its developed state. Varieties have often been produced in some unknown way by a change of region, and also species may be produced in the same way. Butterflies of some countries are exam: ples of this. On opposite coasts of the Isthmus of Panama one-third of the shells show that they are of the same species, and that they | must have migrated when the isthmus was | submerged, while two-thirds show parallel species not identically the same. The widest | differences of island ‘from continental species | are due to migration, and sometimes entirely ditferent species arise from the same cause. | Darwin observes that there are rudimentary | muscles in man which are strongly developed in the man ape, whieh, he says, 1s. an indication that they exist in this’ state in some of man’s ancestors. ———~+e+ An “’Ostler Joe” Case. TERRIBLE TRAGEDY WHICH FOLLOWED AN ELOPEMENT FROM A CONNECTICUT VILLAGE. A telegram to the New York Sun from Nor- | walk, March 2, says: Stephen A. Brady and | Miss Stella Kent eloped from Norwaik two years ago. Before the elopement Brady was one of the most prosperous and widely-known busi- ness men of the town. He did business jeweleron Main street, and lived happil, | his tamily in a pretty ‘little cottage in Bi iP Miss Ste! <ent, a sister of | Brady, went to reside with the family. Kent's personal ‘Miss harms and lively dispo- | place. Not. long alter came the announcement | that Miss Kent and Brady had eloped. It is not known that any attempt w: movements of the runaway couple, but it was reported shortly afterward that a gentle! from this place had seen them in Kansas City. | The affair, which had almost been forgotten, was revived yesterday-by the receipt of M souri papers giving the details of a double (rag- edy which occurred in the little village of Iron Knob on the night of January 80, aud of which Brady and the woman Kent are supposed to have been the victims. The Jadez ot that place tells the following story of the tragedy: ‘Late lastsummer there arrived in this village @ niin and woman of middie age with an in- | fant. ‘They stopped for a short time at the Elmo hotel, where they were known as Mr. and Mrs, Jackson, of Kansas City. They afterward moved into a'house on Banks street, the man setting himself up as a repairer of watches, clocks and jewelry. Business, however, was very poor with hini, and together with his pus- sion for drink, the ‘couple had hard time to getalong. It had been observed that the inan Was dunking more heavily than ever, and bad shown on such occasions a very ugly disposi- tion, On Weanesday nightlast the neighbors, hear- ing loud noises and terrible screams coming from the house, summoned a deputy sherift, who, with a number of others, entered the house, but too late to prevent a terribie tragedy. ‘They found that the man, wilie evidenuy in astate of crazy intoxication, had beaten’ the woman with an axe until lier features were scarcely recognizable, and had then cut his own throat with a knife. The ebiid lay upon the bed uninjured, too young to re what had happened. The man was dead wien found, but the woman lingered some two lours be: fore dying, during Which time she was occasiou- lly conscious and able to talk in an incoherent, n Jt was gathered from her conversation that the couple originally came from Connecticut, where they were well connected, the man hav ing deserted a wife and jamily t6 elope with the woman, who seems not to have been married. ‘The right name of the parties could noi be arly understood, but was thought to be eitier mp or Brady. When the couple first arrived here they were quite fleshy people, but dissipation by the man and care ‘and worriment oa the part of ihe woman had reduced them very much at the last. AS there was nothing of value or to indicate | the natnes or address of friends iound araong | their ettects, they were buried at tl the town inthe West Braneh burying ground. ‘The child, a bright, healthy-looking girl baby, | has been taken in charge by the town authori: ties, and will be properly provided for. The true | history of the parties and their wanderings since leaving their native state will probably pever be known in this section, although many are curious to know it, ‘The description of the man and woman corre- sponds in every particular with thatof Brady and Miss Kent, and the statements made by tue dying woman ‘are identical with the circum- slances attending their elopement. Both tae Brady and Kent families are well connected in Norwalk, Brady’s daughter, a pretty and ac- complished young lady, being betrothed to the son of a retired hat manutacturer, anda brother of Miss Kent having wedded a daughter of Rep- resentative Bi oe ____ Sunset Cox. HE MAKES AN ATTEMPT AT PLOWING WITH AN OX TEAM IN TURKEY. In a private letter to the editor of the Syra- euse Courier, Mr... 8. Cox relates in his charac- teristic style his experience at plowing in ‘Tur- key: “Mrs. Cox drove me out—I mean a coach- man did—upon the grand hills and into the superb valleys thatsuburb thiseity, There are, be it known, fine farms and gardens plenty upon these hills.

A German Scientist Confirms the New Theory by Experiments. From the Times-Star, Cincinnati, Ohio. An eminent Cincinnati physician stopped a ‘Times-Star reporter to say: “Did you read what Dr. Whittaker says about soup?” Taking down a German medical pub lication, the doctor said, “A German experi” menter has been testing the subject. He finds that beef tea—considered by most people the most nourishing of drinks—is almost entirely without value. Here ts the way the results of his experiments are recorded: “It is a thing most curious that almost every- body seems to regard beef tea as a kind of es- sence of all the nutritious and_ strengthening jualities found in the meat, Now, the fact ls that there is in a bowl of beef tea but little, if any, more nutriment than there is in a glass of lemonade. How could there be? We know that the principal nutrient parts of beef, besides: its 75 per cent of water, are albumen ‘and fat. Now albumen coagulates at 176 deg. F., and at 212 deg., the boiling point, 1t becomes like eggs hard boiled. As a consequence, the albumen, contained in the meat becomes entangled in the meshes, and is firmly held there. Of course, then, the albumen does not find its way into the beeftea, As for the fs the only remaining strengthening ingredient, that comes to the top, and is always carefully skimmed off, for nothing is more disgusting to a sensitive appe- tite than greasy beef tea. An experinient was made on three dogs, allas nearly alike as to age and sizeas we could get them. The dogs were il shut ‘up in separate pens, side by side. ‘or dog No. 1 was ordered a diet of Extract of Beet and all the water he wanted to drink. Dog No. 2 was restricted to water only, being allowed nothing whatever to eat; while dog No- 3 was allowed neither food nor water. Ofcourse the dog that had no water was the first to die; but if you should guess which was the next to suecuinb you would probably make a mistake. it was not the dog that was allowed nothing to eat, but the one at the lower end of the row, who died with a quantity of meatextract with: in sixinchesot his nose. Dog No. 2 with nothing but water in his kennel, got along well enough for about @ month, and then died sud- denly. We expected’ him to -remain about six “weeks, but I think the death of the, other, dogs, bad a depressing effect on him.
