Genuine antique Persian enabroideries .are worn On cloth and cashmere dresses. Striped cheviot la the best and most serviceable geld that can be had for street wear. Brown is a good color, and a few ,ornamental battons are the only decora- tion required. Never since the Puritan days have the .Amerioan ladle!! been im quietly dressed for ohureli and street as they now are. The Fear Hundred put ran -abouts in •dead black with black felt hats and velvet Dutch dresses. Iufants wear all white, and nothing but woolen cloth is used for ;young girls. Little toques of close -fitting bonnets are always appropria a3 for the street. Large hats are seen on the promenade, but the dresa with which they are most effective is unsuited for a public thoroughfare. Sleevea of real tapesptry cloth are put in Deng weeps of velvet and brocade. The contrast is novel, whatever may be said about the taste. —World. Miniature Lantos. Some of the small lamps designed for writing tables are a test of the artistic skill and ingenuity required in this line of decorative art, says the New York World. Whether a lady uses sealing -wax or not, a pair of candlea or a vestal lamp is consid- ered as much of a necessity as a letter rack or an ink map. Candle -sticks are seen in fine porcelain, old china, solid silver and carved bronze, with candles and shades to snit tho faney of the owner. They may have been purchased or handed down from an old aunt, bnt they are sure to be beauti- ful. The miniature lamp, with a body of opal or Bohemian glass, mounted on carved brass, provided with burner, wick, globe and lace shade, is newer and quite the prettiest ornament on the table. These little lamps, if turned low, can be made to burn three or four hours. You can buy tome as low as 50 cents, in amber or tur- quoise tint, but if the shade is real lace, the !mounting genuine brass and the glass pure Bohemian ware, there will be nothing left of $15 for fragment coins too insignificant for reckoning. What is a Gentleman? We know Mr. Cannot, and have known him for years. We respect his ability, admire his many excellent qualities. In all the relations of life he is an upright and clever gentleman, and as such is entitled to fair and honorable treatment at the hands of his contemporaries,—Elinira Advertiser. This only shows that each man has his own idea of what constitutes an honorable and upright gentleman. The Mr. °Minot referred to, editor of the Albany Times, and recently chosen friend of Governor Hill, was at one period of his career in the Peni- tentiary for betraying a public tenet. Our Elmira contemporary doesn't seem to mind it little thing like that, and regards the crime for which Mr. Callieat was thus punished as entirely consistent with up. 'rightness. It is odd that opinions should differ on a subject like that, bat they do.— New York Herald. (Actinism Frankness.

To amend Act respecting eieetione of Members of the House of Commons, other- wise known as chapter tight of the Revised Statutes of Clanada jonoas. Sir John Thonapeon, in introducing his Bill relating to bine of exchange and pro. missery notes, said thin measure had received consideration in the House beat session, and was brought pp ngain on an understanding then arrived at. The Bill was read a firstnime. Sir John Macdonald, in reply to Mr. Desanlniers, said that the appointment to fill the vaeanoy in the Senate caused by the death of Mr. Ferrier was still under con- sideration. Mr. Mills (Bothweli)—The vacancies are being well considered. (Letightern Mr. Landerkin moved for a statement of Bills disallowed since Confederation and cense assigned. Mr. McCerthy asked. to have "added to the motion that it be stated whether said Bills were disallowed because they were contrary to publio polioy or ultra vires under the B. N. A. Act. Mr. Landerkin—Wonld hon. gentlemen consent to, have this return brought down in English and French. (Laughter) If. so, I consent to the addition. Sir John Thompson said that the returns had been brought down to the year 1888, and the Government would bring down the returns to the present. The motion passed. Mr. Lanrier—I would like to ask whether it is the intention of the Government to lay on the table the papers connected with the Behring Sea fisheries dispute. ,Sir John Meodonald—It is 'not the in- tention of the Government to lay these papers before the House at present, although we may do so in the course of the session. • • Sir Richard Cartwright—This matter was refereed to in the Speech froth the Throne, and when that is the case it is always customary to lay the papers before the House. If my memory serves me right, this is the practice in England. Sir John Macdonald—The subject was not properly referred to in the epeeoh in the way mentioned. As the hon. leader of the Opposition said a few days ago, tho lan- guage was very vague, and I may say it was purposely vague. The subject is receiving attention at Washington, and as his Excel- lency said, I expect it will come to a satis- factory conclusion. In the meantime it would be against public interest to lay the papers before the House. Mr. Mills (Bothwell)—Against Govern- ment, and not public interest. Sir Richard Cartwright—We have been called to meet earlier than usual this year, and I presume Government business is in a state of forwardness. I would like to ask when we will have the estimates brought down. Mr. Foster—I expect to lay the estimates before the Haase at an early date, probably about the middle of this week. Mr. Taylor, in introducing his Bill to prohibit the importation of foreigners to perform labor In Canada, explained that the measure was intended to protect the laboring classes of Canada. A Bill on the subject had been passed by the United States Congress in 1885 and this was a oopy of the American Act:. Mr. Mills (Bothwell) -1 would like to ask the Minister of Justice whether he has con- sidered this Bill, and whether this Honda has power to interfere with contracts of this sort. Sir John Thompson—I have not men the Bill. The Bill was read a first time. Sir John Macdonald—I heard last right, Mr. Speaker, that you had an attack of in- fluenza. I gave notice yesterday that I would naove for the appointment of a chair- man of the Committee of the Whole Hones. With the consent of hon. gentlemen I will move it now. Mr. Laurier—We have no objection. Sir John Macdonald—I move then that John Fisher Wood, member for the elec- toral district of Brookville, be appointed Chairman of the Committee of the Whole House. Mr. Choquette introduced a Bill to amend chapter five of the ROViSOCI Statutes of Canada, entitled, an Act respecting the electoral franchise. The Bill was read a first time. Mr. Casgrain introduced a 13111 for farther securing the independence of Par- liament, and explained that the object of the measure was to enable members to take oath that they were not disqualified 111 any way from taking their Beats.

Carried. , Mr. aostigan, in anewer to Mr. Small, said that the Government were considering the Inland Revenue Act, with a view to making amendment� in the interest of the tobacco trade, if it coald be done without . prejudice to revenue, Mr. Carling, in reply to Mr. Jones, said that the Agricultural Department had received no information as to any special cattle disclaim in the Western States lane that the quarantine of ninety days, to which cattle frotn the Western States were subjected, was a eufficient protection egahast any epidemic. Mr, Wood (Westmoreland) move(t foe returns allowing the quantity of freah beef imported lino Canada from the United States during the timed year ended Dem 31st, 1880. He pointed out that it was impossible to gather from tho trade and navigation retnrne the fresh beet imperted, ao no aistincilion Was made between it and the other kinds. Importations of froeh beef into the Maxieime Provinces had of le.te years been largely on the Menem. It was the duty of the Government to take mine ateps to protect Canadian interest% and he believed that the tariff should he made higher. In tact the present Charge should be doubled, , Mr Betvell oedd the Governmeat had no power to obtain the tnfornaation asked by the metnber, as no eeparate statietios had been forwarded as to the importation of fresh beef. The motion was withdrawn. Rulea for Skaters. lee an eighth of an inch, thiokisn't ice any longer when you try to skete on it.

Adam mut book to Philadelphia and, of Or a time, passed from batehering te the operation "of tage lines, at which he was kept busy till 1854. 'When the war made horses seams, Fore- paugh got several contracts to furnish equines to several street -oar companies, and tradition says he put himself in snug eirounestafroae by baying up the castaway oar horses, rejuvenating, them throng'a a temporary sojourn and careful treatment on an island in the Sohnylkill and then selling them back to tlae companies. In 1861 Forepsugh eold 62 horses to John O' ' Brien the circus manager, for $9,000, and in 1865 he took a notion to visit the (drone. O'Brien had been in bad luck and had failed to entirely equare himself in the horse deal. Foreptingh conceived a fancy for the show and bought it. Later, he also bought Jerry Mabie's meatigerie in Chicago for 842,000, the collection includ- ing two elephants Data eight other animals. This was the beginning of the career as circus manager and proprietor wlaieh sub- sequently made Forepaugh more, than a millionaire and placed his name second only to that of P. T. Barnum as a show- intin, and emend to nobody's in its famil- iarity to juvenile Americana. Forepangh engaged Dan Rice for clown, paying him $1,000 per week and allowing him eitra- ordinar kr' privileges. He kept Dan for three years, beginning in '65. In his almost a- quarter century of °irons business Forepangh brought his show to enormoae proportions, and never onee were the predictions of his ill ,fortune made by other managers verefied. Several times he seemed on tha verge of finenoial disaster, but each time his luck turned, and he came out e100,000 ahead on one season when he had been oompelled to flee from his New England oironit. He gave his personal attention to every- thieg,about his show, fronanhe engagement of his lieutenants and his star performers down to the selection of the lowliest animal specimen, or truck horse. He accumnlitted a vast amount of real estate in Brooklyn, and in Philadelphia his assessment on houses built as investments, besides his magnificent reeidence, rose above $700,000.
