I've pretty near reached the end of this story, ¢ I guess yon ain’t sorry, for it's been a Jong one and not an over cheertul one. Ionly need to tell you, to wind up, that a doctor come, and that hehad Jake and Hetty carried into one of the houses near by, and that he did what he could for ‘em, while waiting the arrival of an ambulance. Jake he come to pretty soon, and he laid still until he'd got bis ideas more or less straightened out, and then be asked about his wile, and she was pointed out to him, lying in the same room, a couple of yards away, her theayter dress all scorched ‘and blackened, her hair singed clear off her head, and herselt as stiff and quiet as if she was dead. Jake, with a fear and ae ‘in that was worse than a'knife-biade in his heart, he made out to ask whether she was badly hurt. « ‘Badly hurt?” says the doctor. “She's killed. Leastwise, she’s ying, fast, aud ‘ll! be dead in- side ot an hour. She'll never open her eyes or her mouth again.” But that’s whefe the doctor made a mistake, For he fadn’t more than spoke them words, when Hetty, she give a sort of tremble trom head to foot, and then, exactly opposite to what the doctor said, she did open her eyes and her mouth. She roiled her eyes around until they Struck Jake, and when they done that, she cries, Very low and faint, in a voice that made Jake feel ax though lis, Bosom, would bust open, she cries, “Oh, Jake, then—then I saved you id with that, she shu§her eyes again, and she give another tremble, and she give alitile groan, and. she—she straightened out,as stiff'and still as be- fore; and says the doctor, “She's dead not and this time he spoke the truth. That's all, sir, That's the whole of the story that I set out to tell you, What become of Jake?

At the beginning of this year a discovery was made at Semirjetsche, ia the district of Fer- guna, west of the Chinese frontierat Kuldja and northeast of Kokand, which is of great interest to historians and Orientalists. It was near the Tuins of a fortress called Burana, built of bricks and situated on the spurs of the Alexander in chain, that Dr. Porjakow found two old decayed graveyards with numerous zrave- many of which bore a cross and. others ehiseléd Insc hey could wot be deci Phered on the spot, both characters and lan age appearing to be quite unknow Ciutoe missionaries In’ iui) the characters to bi beiteved the urian, while the lama of the Kaimucks believed he recognized in one of the inscriptions the Buddhist form of prayer, om ma hom, It was determined to take several tombstones, fourteen photographs and eight rather imperiect copies of the Inscriptions: to St. Petersburg, where they were handed to the councillor of state, Chwolson,who soon declared the character to LeSyriae- Nestorian, It was difficult to decipher, ior, besides the age and decay of the stones ‘and’ inscriptions, they contained new jitalies not usual in Old Syriac, and aiso quite forcign letters, probably taken "from the Arabian alphabet, and, very unexpectedly, some Turkish words and proper names; This taving bec found out the de ciphering proceeded rapidly, aud.

New CaMEL's Haut Crotus, new cheviots and suitings are seen in herring bone and chev- Fon weaves to form the vertical stripes, THE PRESENT TENDENCY OF FASHION 1s toward the mediwval and antique, the manche Juive, stomacher and peplum being the signs of the coming styles. ‘THe Cxaze For LACE is on the increase, and. is creating a genuine revival of old points Flemish, Alencon, Bruges, and English, along with Venetian ard old Florentine point coupe. ‘THE PLUSH STRIPES on new woolen novelty fabrics are made to produce shaded, block, bar, flower, and leat effects by the cut and uncut Pile, creating what the merchants call “frize effects.” FIcnvs will be muchavorn, They are made of squares of lawn, embroidered, and of dotted net, edged with lace. ‘The latter are very long, are crossed over the bust and tied at the left side of the waist. ALAS FOR THE Poor Brrvs! The importers’ stocks show every variety of fenthered creature, from the prosaic barnyard fowl to the glorious Pheasant and vird of paradise. The assortment of birds’ claws, too, is appalling. Tue Most Lapy1ike Boxxets now worn are the snug princess shapes, trimmed with a velvet brim, and loops ofvelvet ribbon. ‘These are always ‘appropriate and serviceable, and | look consistent with any style of dress adopted. A Fasuros Warren, In a letter from over the | sea, that white dresses will be worn | throughout the autumn over slips of batiste | and poppy-red Sicilienne. White veiling and | albatross will be worn under Russian jackets and opera coats of velvet, FEATURES IN FALL FASHIONS are waistcoats Mot various kinds, long over draperies, long waists, short shoulder seams, sleeves loose above the elbows, full skirts, side panels, little skirt draperies, many battons, ji ng hat crowns, high coiffures, and | very high dress collars, AUTUMN TOILETS are most varied in style | and fashion; skirts, tunies and bodices are made of every shape and cut, Skirts are as much worn gathered as pleated, plain as draped; jacket bodices are quite as fasttonable as those With sinzte or double points, or gathered oF pleated on to a round waistband. LINEN COLLAKS AND CHEMISETTES will be worn with tailor-made costumes. This style is only suitable for youthful persons. There is jothing more incongruous than to se a woman r along the road to sixty, with wrinkles tured in w tailor-made gown with a ont” and jaunty necktie. BurTToxs will be w-prominent item in the sea- son’s dress and cloak trimmings. They are shown In various metal and mixed styles. Oxi- | dized buttons are fairly popular. Bronze metal effects are particularly good, There are buttons with pearl ornaments set over metal, also new round ball rosary buttons In general sizes, AMONG the novelties shown Is a suit with a skirt of bronze faille having stripes in fancy plush, showing cardinal, white, green and a ash of gold. Over this 1s worn a drapery and basque of the new embossed Jersey cloth that looks Ike rich brocade. The cloth is cream- white and bas a Molicre vest, collar, cuffs and facings of taille Francaise in bronze. MANTLES for autumn wear show no marked changes iu general design from those worn In the spring. There is much latitude in the matter of fronts; they may be long or short, pointed, round ‘or square, according. to tne ey of the wearer, Generally the backs are longer and narrower than those of the spri muniles, Jackets will be worn with tailor- made costumes, - VET will be in great use for this ason. Tt will not oniy share a prominent part in millinery, wraps and cos- | tames, but will obtain prime importance in Toles Of ceremony, lorming a. distinguishing component in the Superd tea gowns now ale fected, and besides its use for reception, even- | ening and dinner toflets will also constitute an important feature in costly wedding dresses. Gauze with velvet stripes will be in great use for fancy evening toilets the coming season, Much tinsel is introduced into textiles of this © with advantage, as there Is in meretricious and tawdry look to the best qualities, Moire ribbon and dress materials with narrow raised stripes of “zephyr” velvet or piush are amoung goods which are now lirgely used by Paris milliners. AMONG CORDUROY FAnRICS are novel pat- terns in silk and wool, which have proved very popular abr One imported gown, made at a west-end house in London, has a petticoat of heliotrope corduroy, witit a Stripe of plush and satin in pale lilac. Above this is a tunic of plain heliotrope “piush. Another, in dark Princess of Wales bite corduroy, is striped with golden-brown velvet, with Jucket above of plain blue velvet opening over a waistcoat of goiden-brown satin worked with dark blue beads. WooLeNs for autumn wear nave hair-like stripes and checks, They will be used for tailor-made costumes without other accessories, although velvet trimmings will remain in as luigh iavor as during the past season. ‘The fab— soft and wre of tight e stripes, While red stripes on navy blue grounds, black’ stripes on. gray grounds and brown grounds with stripes Of Highter tin: are also seen, ONE OF THE FASHIONARLE CoRSAGES, which 1s likely to prove very popular in evening dress, is made of black silk velvet opening broadly half the length of front over a chemisette russe of richest white luce. ‘There are merely wide straps oi black velvet which go over the shoulders, with dainty Jall-ote white lace. beneath it simply to veil the topof the art The back ts cat down slightly iu a square or V shape, and ends in avery short tui “bird's )” 'postillion, with a fan of luce se. between two ats.

The newer modelsare far less severe in style; they fit even more accurately, but there is more orns- mentation visible apon all styles except those to be devoted strictly to utility uses. Light weight wools have also takeu the pince of the heavy cumbersome ¢loths first employed, and in. their stead ure used the softly draping London diagonals, cumel’s hair serges, with threads of silk and urrasene intermingied, and bourrettes, armures, hoinespuns and ‘canvas guous, pale toned etumines, Lincolushtre Belgravia, Seatel, tweed meitons, and other extra flue sutings: AMoN@ the pretty gowns for afternoon wilets are the inexpensive siik-and éatin foulards now sold at greatly reduced prices.
