Our grandmothers would have been puzzled tf they bad heard or read of “scientific dress.” That ‘science and art should have any influence on the “hang” Of @ skirt oF the “set” of a bodice would have Deen to them a novel idea indeed; and the mantua-maker of .thetr time would have looked abundantly bewuidered had any of her customers ordered a sctentific sleeve or a bodice constructed on mathematical principles. In our privileged age not onty science and art, but religion ttself, concern themselves 1a woman's Gress. ‘The exnibits recently displayed at the Mariborough Rooms went tar to prove that mathe. matical principles adapted to costume and based upon a fundamental knowiedse of anatomy pro~ duce an artistic result. |The sliow was divided into cllons, the and most important of which was that of the amateur dressinakers, Whose competitions filled the whole of a very large room." ‘The directors of the association of- fered a gold medal and a silver, carrying with them Fespectively situations worth £100 and £50 per an- DUM. Among the rest, tree dresses were remarked as being particularly weil designed. One was a brown ottoman, the skirt of which was skillfully draped in folds that fell harmoniously and as naturally a5 though one had gathered them F momentarily in the hand. re Was a vest of brocaded plush in the front of the bodice, across which met small folded scarves of ‘the ottoman. The excellence Of Anish displayed In the niceties of these folds and fn the details of the basque was muoh com- mented on by the thousands of visitors Who hromyed the rooms. Another dress in which a food, Idea was consistently carried out was in Kk cashmere With a loose blouse front of soft Diack silk, Small tabs of the cashmere were Dut toned over this, one from right to left the other frow left to right, an ingenious method of secur. ing @ 00d fusiening without undue strain oa the solitary bution. ‘Here, again, the folds of the skirt were admirable, none being unaccounted for, and ail being arranged with an evident regard to the outline of the buinan form. There was none of that bulging at the knees, or protrusion below them, which 1s too often’ characteristic of the amateur dressmaker’s work. In a steel-colored satin dress, elaborately trimmed with jet in the same Unt, there was nothing suggestive of the amateur, Unless we take the word in its original Sense and adopt it as meaning a lover of one’s art. ‘That crucial test of capacity, the setting-in of the sleeve, here gave no Sign of the absence of the pro- fessional touch. Amoug other meritorious gowns in this section were a gray cashmere, in whlch the Iingled simplicity and grace of the Skirt were ad- mirable; a brown cloth trimmed with striped vel- Yet, good in cut and in styie: a neat tailor-made gray tweed; and a blue dress, turned up wiin ta fan velvet and made with a bic “gonget” collar. ‘Rather (oo ambitious was a trained dinner dressin gray ottoman und plush with draperies of beaded Det. A well-designed yachting costume of navy biue cloth, made with a blouse of white flannel, would have won more suffrages had not the dress- maker who produced it added the Inappropriate triviality of lisse frilling to the neck and sleeves of an aquatic frock, Can any one imagine a mer- maid with pleated ruffles? Old Neptune would be very harsh With such decorations, and in his do- minions, fannel and serge are probably «tue only Wear,” save fins and tails and floating hair. ‘Thé section devoted to amateur millinery was less satisfactory than that of dressmaking, the number of exhibits being suialler, and the Lounets and hats In many cases suffering from the dis advantage of caeap materials. It is impossible to Produce u good effect in either dress or head gear with interior fabrics, and there ought to be no Such Uuings a8 cheap feathers or cueap flowers, ‘Taese cunnotin any way be considered useiul, and they are decidedly not ornamental. ‘The sec: Uon devoted to children’s dresses, and open to amateur competitors, seemed to attract the bulk. of the sightseers. A’cashumere blouse in a bright tone of terra cotta Was siucexed on the shoulders and round the wrists. ‘This sensibie style of dress looks to disudvantage on a stand, needing the round limbs of chiidood to filustrate its good points, Possibly for this reason it was voted “ugiy” by a lane proportion of the gaz ers. A very elaborate little gown with a hand-painted fapnt of white satin seemed Detter “to please the multitude. Most ehildren would feel wretched in tt, being warned by nurses and governesses that the silgntest strain Would be permanent injury and disfigurement. ‘The pearls, too, that were introduced, tasselwise, as decorations Oniy added to tue chances of accl dent, to be followed by reproacnes, if not by shak- ings’ A cream-colored merino with facings of sural Was Weil cut and Weil finished. Another, made of white lace and lined wita pink, was pretty, but rather suggestive of an old-fasiitoned Gressing table. There was bul a score of exhibits im this section, Dressmakers who do not make a special study of canidren’s clothes are_never Will ing to undertake them. ‘They complain that chtl- drea have “such odd little shapes.” Being accas. tomed to work for digures that have been more or less distorted by compression, they full to unaer- Stand Che iorins of Nature's own shaping. ‘Some excelient gowns were shown tu the section devoted to professional dressmakers, notably a tailor-made costume in brown tweed, a balt- mourning dress, in which the draping of ‘the skirt was very and a walking-dress also well thought out. a’ Greek dress looked very uncom- fortabie on a wire-and, needing arms and a neck, at least, for favorable display. ‘The buttonson tie shoulders were by no tueans orthodox. The folds were not correctly grouped round them, and in- stead of buttoning upon thet, as they ought to have done, ail Was xed by stitches, even tne but- tons themselves being sewn on.

A dress of tals fabric in the shade of green known as “umignonette,” was conscientiously made. A brown one Was more elaborate, but one failed to understand why the front of the skirt should have been smocked at the kners. ‘This would make sitting a ratuer uncomfortable business, Dut, perhaps, us the exhibit In quesiion Was styled a walking dress, it may not have been ieant to sit down in. A special ne In this class was offered by the propriewors of the srish Textile Journut for tne Dest dress made of Irish linea for summer wear, the style of make-up and material to be studied “with a view to minimize the cost of laun- drying.” In oue of the coupetitive cambric gowns there Was a most ingenious device Wnereby the large pleats forming the fullness of the skirt at tue Dack could be released by a touch.

On the opposite side of the river a crowd of men and boys on araft were firing pistols and a rifle up and down the river. The lads un- dressed and entered the water. They had been there but a few moments when the firing became promiscuous, and Elmore Green, one of tue party, shouted Uo tae crowd va the otwer side to be more earetul, The request was uot heeded, and Noah Cuntreil, aged ten yeurs, began vo curse the crowd. were now aimed at the boys, aud buue:s whistied about tueir heads.

A Girl Who Plays Ball. ‘From the Danbury (Coun.) News, Danbury bas a phenomenal female ball-player, Itisa girl ven years of age.

It 15 in a supreme test of this Kind that the inherent weakness and absurd- ity of the system 1s conspicuously shown. About two thousand Jurors have been summoned to try an old man accused of bribing public ofctals, Nearly twelve hundred of tnese talesmen have been examined under oath, and yet it has not been possible to select twelve men competent to sit in the jury box, Over a month bas elapsed In the parently fruitless task to find in the chief comm cial city of the Union, tbe center of wealth and ea- terprise, twelve men, good and true, to try Jacob Sharp. Judge Barrett ascribes it to the manner in duty, the panely in great trials bridging forth uty, the panels in great U preponderance of tliterave and inquatiged jurors "he proportion of respected, Well-known and sub- | stantial citizens of the jury lists is exceedingly ‘small, for the single reason that It 1s easy to be ex- cused from Jury duty, especially When money or poultical Lnfluence fs in question. Judge Barrett makes a terrible arraignment of the system that suppiles the jury box tn New York, and furaishes a preponderance of everything that is low, ignorant, vicious, and unintelligent, “We found people,” he says, “who were deat of over age; many who had actually served within three months agd whose names in some unac- countable manner had got back into the great wheel; many who were exempt by law, non- residents, poll-clerks, milltlamen, occasionally the names of even deceased na.” ‘The judge speaks of the unwillingness of the ly qualified business men (o sacritice their interests, even for a brief period, to the public good. They have too many loopholes of escape at present, and, there- fore, we find the * Or che directory,” a8 J Barrett terms them, drawn upon for jurors. The representative men of New York are seldom or never summoned. ‘There 1s evidently great reform necessary here, Judge Barrett suggests that all the properly qualified jurors. in New York should be ascertained in a thorough and effective manner and duly enrolled, the tax-books and lists of electors as a nucleus, the books of the mercantile agencies and the memvers of the exchanges and Prominent organizations (o be examined to com- plete the Usts of those lable to jury duty. By Unis means a larger number and better class of Jurors would be available on criminal cases of ‘great public interest. ‘There 1s much also to censure in the extreme latitude given to objecting to a juror on the. grounds of supposed prejudice. It is a very poor way of obtaining an intelligent jury for a grave case by making the formation of @ previous opin- fon on it as a sufficient disqualification. While 1 1s but equitabie aud proper that every means should be adopted to ensure impartiality in the {B2y;0x 1 should not be at the expense of intel, gence. "No fair-minded, law-abiding, intelligent cluzen, who 4s sworn in a8 a Juror, wili perinit any previously-concetved opinion of his on the ques- Uon le Is called upon 10 decide to influence nim. He knows his duty, and may, in nearly every caso, be reited upon to’ fulfill it” Why, then, shoul ‘what might be almost termed dense’ ignorance and mental linbecllity be regarded as the best proofs of impartiality in the Jury-box? ‘The mode of ex- amination of jurors now in vogue might be ma- terially improved. A self-respecting citizen 13 naturally disinclined to face tie ordeal of abu: insolence, and insult to which he may be subjec by counsel in belag examined as to his qualifica- Uons tor the jury-box. The next legislature should take up the retorm of'a system that falis to secure twelve competent men in a city of a million and a half inhabitants, after four Weeks’ effort, to try Jacob Sharp. Good Guessing. TP WAS DONE BY A SLEEPING-CAR PORTER—EASY WHEN YOU KNOW HOW. ‘From the Chicago Herald. “There is one sleeping-car porter in this country who'll not die poor, if thrift and smartness count for anything,” said a gentleman who has just re- turned from a trip to California, “Soon after we left Omaha the porter of our car began to talk base ball and to let us all know that he was a base-ball crank. He grew rather familiar, too, considering his’ station, but nobody objected, for it 1s always best on a cross-country trip to Keep on the good Siae of a portey, Among the passengers were several gentlemen who take a little interest in bas2 Dall, and so, along in the afternoon when the poster told about Lue sport. some passengers had had the week before, and suggested that ‘jus’ to kill time,’ we imitate thelr example, ‘the gem- men’ makin’ up a base-ball pool at $5 a guess, de gemman guessin’ clostist to de way de fo" league games come out to take de pot,’ there were seven Fesponses, After the money bad been paid into the hands of one who was selected to act as stuke- holder, and the subscribers had written out. thelr guesses and signed telr names to them, the porter umbly asked permission tocomein. ‘Though we all thought the chap was displaying considerable freshness, so long as he had suggested the scheme In which ‘we had begun to take a good deal of in- terest there Was no ‘One to object. So the porter Put uP his $9 and fled his guess with the stake- older. ‘The next day we got a paper at Cheyenne and you can imagine how surprised we were when we Giscovered that only one man in the party had named the four winners, and that man the porter, ‘The way that fellow grinned when he put the $40 way In his pocket made me feel suspicious, and So, later on, When another pool of the same ‘kind ‘was proposed I decided to stay out and keep an eve on the @orter. About 3 o'clock the train Stopped at a lttle station, and I saw the porter making a break for the telegraph office. When he came out be had a message, which he was readin, eagerly. He sat down in the smoking car and seribled something on a plece of paper, consulting his mess.ige as he did so, and then walked back to the sleeping car, remarking that he'd ‘yive the gemmen a chance to git a pa’ of de stuff back,’ And deposited with the Stake hoider a $5 Dill and the siip of paper I'dseen him writing on in the ‘sinoking car. “Having found out what his game was, I took the stakeholder one side and said to him: ‘This darkey 13 buncoing us.

A well-known college professor was entertaining 8 company of friends the other evening, and during his remarks said: “You all know the surface of fishes is coated with» substance which is called mucus, and that it is some- what similar in form, though different in quality, to the mucous lining of the human system. The entire interior of the body is covered with a mucous mem- brane. It {s sensitive, and forms the basis of life. It absorbs life-giving properties from food, from drink, ‘and from the air, and it is the only way by which life can be sustained. When it becomes inflamed or irri- tated it causes colds, dyspepsia, pneumonia, dysentery, and often death. Nine-tonths of all known diseases have their origin in the mucous membrane. The poison in the air and in food is simply thousands of germs which attack this mucous surface, These germs must be Killed, and I know of nothing that will so certainly do this asa pure spirit stimulant. Prof. Austin Flint of Bellevue College, says: ‘The judicious use of alco- holic stimulants is one of the striking characteristics of progress in the practice of medicine during the last half century,’ and his views are confirmed by Profs, Carpenter, Parrish, Gardner and othera.” It being true that pure spirits furnish the best means for expelling germs and warding off disease and death it follows that only pure spirits can be valuable, Instead of warding off discase, impure spirits cause it, but when so prominent a scientist as Prof. Henry Mott, Ph. D. F.C. 8., says: “By a most careful analysis I have found Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey free from adultera- tions or foreign substances, and it deserves to meet with great success," it means that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is absolutely the purest in the market. This 4s proven not only by analysis, but by the wonderful effects it is having upon the community. The well- known Dr. R. W. Hutchinson, of New York, says: “I highly recommend Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and prescribe it extensively in my practice.” Rev. B. Mills, ‘of Princeton, Iowa, says: “I have used Duffy's Pure ‘Malt Whiskey and Formula with great benefit to my wife, who is a confirmed invalid. I know from expe- rience it isa pure and most valuable medicine. I arh also using it in the case of my son, who is threatened with consumption. I am s Presbyterian clergyman and a doctor of divinity, but I am not afraid to recom- mend Duffy's Malt Whiskey as the purest and most efficient tonic that I know of.” Duffy's Malt Whiskey is the only worthy preparation in the market, and has stood the test of time, although surrounded by numerous unworthy imitations. Be- ware of any other bottled whiskey which may be offered toyou. Duffy's Formula is a positive cure for coughs, colds and all pulmonary troubles. my28 L0Us4Na STATE LOTTERY.
