Sisters : nave beeri benefited so much by our helpful talks, I think it is about time for me to contribute my mite. I will tell you how 1 renovated au old dress. It was made with a plain ba.sque and trimmed skirt, and after I had worn it for over a year as one of my best dresses, it began to look faded and allow signs of wear. So I ripped it apart and brushed it well, and turned it wrong side out and made a skirt, plain in front and the sides, and full back drapery. The dress was green, and I added a black V-shaped front, black collar and cuffs. Then I had a dress which did service for a term of eohool, and I thought it was sure- ly ready for the rag -bag, But I procured a package or two of dark brown dye, and after ripping and washing it dyed it a dark brown. Of course I could not use the black trimming, so I got one and a half yards of small striped goods, brown and gold stripe. I put a strip Several inches wide a.round the skirt to make it lorg enough, as it has shrunk in dyeing. The upper part a the sleeves was of the stripped, as was the waist front from the under -arra seam to within about two inches of the middle of the front, and extending from the belt to just above the darts. The rest of the front was filled in with pleats of the pain browr. After adding a collar and belt of the striped ma- terial, I had a dress which would do service for another terra of school, and that, with little trouble and expeese, I think there is no excuse far gide going shabbily dressed, when with tile assistance of fashion plates, dye, and a little patience and ingenuity, an old, faded dress ean be transformed into one which reserubles and does nearly as much service as s. new one. A dreesmaker will cut a pattern Which will exactly fit you, for a small amount. Every girl should learn enough about dreesinaking to make her own clothes, at least the com- mon everyday dreeses. Then she can have as =eh more to spend for the material as it costs to get'them made, Old linings can be used, if washed and starched very stiff and carefully pressed. It is best to face it up, on the wrongside for a few inches with ducking or crinoline, so that the skirt will hang smooth and straight. It isbest to use new waist lining. The waist will set better than if old IS need, Gide, remember that a cheap dress neat- ly and prettily made is prettier than expen- sive material all botched up ; although good material will pay beat in the end, as it can be made over several times,--Moua in the Housekeeper. The Rail1le11-94 — The first summer weather calls attention to the many (graceful designs in outing gowns now shown in the shops. The bias - or suit of jacket, shirt waist and straight skirt promises to he more popular than ever for the corning 'season. There aro many materials, from Plain storm tweed to figured white duck and aerviceable cheviot. In general utility this suit has never been ex- celled. The new blazer jackets are decided- ly different from those of last season and upon the cut and chic of the* jacket the entire style of the suit depends. The newest blazers for young ladies are made with short fronts like an Eton jacket and elongated postilions at the back. Still nother style consiats of the belted blouse'adapted to the blazer effect by open fronts Which disclose theshirt waist beneath. Amore tcopular style than either has the jacket belted neatly at the back and flowing loosely in front. These jackets are finished with simple rolling collars with. out a notch. While plain blue remains a fashionable material for outing nee, there are tweeds introduced in a variety of colors, Including brown, white, bright red andblack, There are also Soft cloths of pure indigo blue color and twilled weave which are used by ladies who object to the harah texture of an Eng. lish serge. The new duck suitings promise to be es- pecially popular for outings, as they may be as easily laundried as an old-fashioned ging- ham gown and can thus renew their fresh - 21085 repeatedly. They are made with a simple bell skirt united to a belt which is pointed at the top and straight on the lower side and is worn over the shirt waisb of linen batiste. A jacket of linen duck with flow- ing frontsiindbelted or fittedback completes the suit. This suit of jacket and skirt, *without the batiste waist, costs $15 in the shops: The batiste waist costs $3 more. These suits are especially pretty in white batiste, sprigged with the tiniest figures in black or color, or striped with fine hair line stripes. They are worn with batiste linen waists in red, navy blue and other shades, sseded with fine white dots. Plain white batiste waists are worn "with suits of plain white'duck. For -general wear with serge and worsted outing dresses, a shirt waist of changeable silk, either plain surah or surah- seeded with white dots, is chosen. The white and the colored silks, striped with hair lines in flower colors, are also chosen for shirt waists. For misses arid older schools girls, the suspender suit made with a pointed bodice and bell skirt, and .worn with a full guipure of bright colored silk is preferred for serviceable wean These suits are generally made of blue serge. The bell skirt is finished with a plain hem and only the bias seam at the back. It is fitted around the hips at the belt with from five to seven little gores, one directly in front and two or three, as the case may be, on. either side. This suit costs in the shops, without the silk guimpe, about $12. The gnimpe costs from $4 to $5 more. There are a few suits in the shops for tall grow- ing girls, made with a Russian blouse reaching about midway down the skirt. The blazer suit, which is displayed. for girls from ten to sixteen, is quite similar to the one worn by grown women, but the skirt is simply finished with a narrow roll, where the belt should be, and this finish is completely concealed beneath the blouse waist of white lawn which hangs over it. The blouse is made in sailor fashion with a deep square collar at the back edged with embroidery, and a box -pleat in the centre of the front trimmed on both sides with embroidery. A natty little jacket with higlesleeves, emartly fitted to the figure, and flowing in front, completes the suit when fut extra wrap is required. Children's cambric dresses are made in simple styles whieli may be easily laaind ried. A little more embroidery is used than 'last season. Very frequently a full ruffle of the dress Material, abent four inches deep fine, ishes the neck of blouse dresses. Black vel- vet sashes of ribbon about two inches wide are used on small children's dresses'and they often begin on the shoulder, go down to the waist line, where they cross airectly in front and pass around to the back where they, are tied in a bow, with ends. A pale blue and white cambric or rose and white striped is very pretty finished in -this way. Challies in rich colors, sprigged with flowers, are still very popular for afternoon wear and for any occasion when a more elaborate dress is required for a child. They are made with full plain skirts containing one breadth at' eaoh, full yoke waists, with tucked yokes of the dress material and fall English sleeves falling low from the shoulder. A flat girdle of the dress material, poiuted at the front and simp'y crossed. at the back, conceals the bne where skirt joins the waist. The new parasols for serviceable use in the street and for travelling are gay little affairs of changeable ailk, mounted on the lightest frames and either unlined or lined under the ribs. The handles are of lia.tural wood. A. silver handle is no longer consid- ered good form as it has been vulgarized by cheap immitation. A very pretty and use- ful parasol may be purchased as low as $2. For promenade and earriage use and for watering places there are many parasols of aoft white chiffon, puffed on the frames W- hiled under the ribs with white silk so as to give them substance enough to be sunshades. These are trimmed with white lacesor with ruffles of chiffon, and mounted on sticks of natural wood, There are also parasols of black chain. Some of the prettiest of these parapols in white or black are spangled, TWO IN ABS ON TRANCE'S HANDS. -- Samory and Behanzin are Giving Her a Illeindtall Afrivan Trimble, The French have two little wars on their hands in West Africa. We have heard re- centlyof the purpose of tlae King of Dahomey to force the French again into hostili- ties, The French have accepted the chal- lenge, bait is not likely that we shall hear Of hard fighting for some time yet, PA this is the rainy Beaton along that coast and the time is not auspicious for militFy move- ments. A month or two from now we may hear of some very lively doings in Dahomey and King Behanzin is likely to learn a les- son he will never forget. The other war is now going on turther northwest, The French are making a great effort to dispose filially of the Sultan Sam- ory, their enemy in the upper Niger region. Sammy has been flghtteg the 1 reneh ea, good deal of the time since ISS. A few Weeks ago The Sun reported that the French had driven him from his capital, Bissandagu, and they thought then that Samory was nearing the end of ids rope. But he does not relinquish the game so easily, and the Freueh career of success has not been un. broken. Since he lost his capital Samory has been in the hill country south of his fanner strong- hold, The Freneli sent a force after him to insure his defeat, bathe has latelyscored at least one little victory over his pursuers, and lie took a few French prisoners. It is hoped that be has not such faith in his ulti- mate success as will lead him to treat his prisoners -with the terrible cruelty to which he is said often to have subjected other pris- oners of war, Gen. Faidherhe, who fought Sammy for years in the western Soudan, describes him as a monster of cruelty. Feld- herbe says he owed the rapidity of his con- quests to the terror produced by his prac- tice of burning his prisoners of war by the hundred in fiery trenches filledwith blazing wood and oil. We have not had Sarnory's side of this story. One reason why he is now able to offe formidable resistance to the French is Le - calla° he has quite a quantity of repeating rifles in his army, The French say he has 2,000 repeating rifles, and they blame the Engliali for permitting him to purchase these improved weapons through agents in British territory on the coast. It is probable that the French will not put an end to their troubles with Samory until they succeed in killing him, Nearly all the troope Senegal can muster aro needed in the war with this prophet of the western Soudan, and so France is likely to have her hands very full when Ring Bohemia of Dahomey assumes the offensive, as he is cer- tain to do AS soon as the weather permits. In the end, however, it is quite certain that Samory will be defeated and his coun- try turned into a French protectorate. SIB BUAN SMITH'S MISSION. On lilts Way to see Morocco's Sultan, and the French don't Like 11. Sir Euan Smith, the British Minister to Morocco, has started from Tangier on his mission to the Sultan at Fez. Alarge num- ber of officials and natives turned out to bid hint farewell as he left Tangier, but all the members of the French Legation were con- spicuous by their absence. The purpose of Sir Euan Smith's visit to the capital has not been definitely announced, except that the Minister has said that the mission is un- dertaken in the cause of British interests, that Great Britain has no intention of ac- quiring an acre of Muley Hassan's territory, and that the only desire of England is that the Sultan should govern his people more justly and permit the country to be develop- ed to its full extent. The fact that some foreign legations, in one way or another, manifested their dis- approval of Sir Euan Smith's mission is an. other illustration of the jealously with which the representatives in Morocco of the .European powers regard each other's actions. They are always eager to declare their anxiety to preserve the independence of Muley Hassan; but if one of them under- takes a diplomatic mission to Fez or Mara- kesh, men-of-war are likely to steam into the harbour of Tangier to be ready for any emergency. The resultis that when onepower gains the ear of the Sultan the other powers see to it that some obstacle is thrown in the way of any action his Highness may be in - alined to take, and as the easy-going poten- tate is only too glad of an excuse to keep clear of the infidel, the result is that his mines are at this moment unopened, his country is without roads, and Tangier is badly supplied with water. A while ago the 'Sultan engaged an Eng- lish officer to drill his troops. Thereupon the French Government insisted upon a useless, but very expensive, military com- mission, composed of French officers, being attached to the Sultan's army. Then the Spaniards and Italians came in with more officials to burden the Moorish Treasury, and, it is expected that before long Germany Will demand that her representatives shall also be attached to the Sultan's military 'service. All these officials are really en- cumbrances, and their occupation is to act .the part of spies on each other's actions ; and the world looks on at the . interesting spectacle of everybody playing dog in the manger.

Madame Patti has "sold her voice," that is, for a consideration she has promised to permit her throat to be examined atter her death, to see if the construation of it in any way mounts for her marvellous gift of song. The probability is that the secret lies more in the brain than in the vocal mechanism. The marriage of Count Herbert Bismarck to the Countess Hoyos is likely to be' one of the most brilliant events of the 'Vienna sea- son. The wedding will be etterlded by great gathering ot the leading nobility of .Austria. and Hungary, among whom the family of Hoyos stands very high. The Countess Margaret 1s21, and le one of seven children, the eldest of whom, (Jountees Leo- poldine, married Baron Ludwig von Plessea, of the German diplomatic service. Count Herbert Bismarck was an intimate friend of Baron Plessen, who invited hint two months ago to pay him a visit at Flume. During a fortnight's stay with Count Iloyos he made bis fiancee's acquaintance. The German Emperor's Imperial train, which has just been completed, has cost £150,000, and it has taken threeyears to con- struct. There are twelve carriages, allows- neeted together by corridors._ The libraty saloon is hung, with, (lobelias tapestry from the Palace of Charlettenburg, and the din- ing saloon is tarnished and panelled with oak, while there is a drawing room furnish- ed entirely in white satin, and two nursery carriages, a reception saloon, which containa several pieces of statuary, a luxuriously. fitted smoking room, and three sleeping salooes, each of which is fitted with a bath. There is a large kitchen, and accommodation for the suite and the servants, At a meeting of the Japan Society in London Mr. Shielshi, e gresluttte of the Un- iversity of Tokio, read a paper on " Ju- jitsu,',the ancient ert of self-defence by " sleight of body," It differa from wrest - in yielding to strength instead of op posing it. It has been cultivated in Japan by a hundred different schools, the oldest of which is the Takenouchi-Rin, founded by Takenouchi Hisarnori in 1532. Ju-jitsu is the chief daily amusement of the boys of Tokio. The priests there, too, are all oblig- ed to cultivate this syetere of physical cul- ture, It is prescribed in the Naval Acad- emy and in the higher academies and the Imperial University. The method for gain- ing a victory over an antagonist ia demib. ed as drawing the body by the hands, svitiet, or feat.,"" straight eelf-throwilig" and "side self -throwing" by "holding the body, or part of the body, or by striking a vital part of the body." Julitsu is strongly commended for moral and mental training, People don't drink so much in GCTIlladly as they used to, soya Bismarck, When a visitor lately refused a glass of whiskey of. fared by the Prince the latter said: I think drinking is dyiag out mare and and more here. I only hope we shall not become like the English, who drink only water and tea," Then he made the follow- ing statement "We northern people re. quire a wetting. The Hungarians, the Spaniards, and the others down there come into the world half seas over, but if the Ger- man is to become thoroughly conscious of his strength he must first have swallowed half a bottle of wine—or, rather, a whole one, 1 don't like liqueurs and such sweet stuff, but at the late Empress Augusta's there was nothing else.

The Czae of Russia is reported to have been plunged into the deepest affliction by the sudden death of bis valet and conficlen- tialservant, Dimitri Varkoff, who had. never boon absent from him for a single day dur- ing a period of more than thirty years. Varkoff always slept in the room next the Emperor's, and within the last ten years lie three times saved hisMajesty f ram assassina- Con ; but these attempts on the Emperor's life were hushed up, and tbe exact details have remained a secret. Yarkoff trained the ferocious mastiffs which always guard the Czar wherever he is, and when the Em- peror was travelling or when there was reason .to fear treachery in the Imperial kitchen, Varkoff cooked all his master's food. He was a man of dametless courage and a Hercules in physique. KAISER WILLIAM'S HEALTH. StartlingStatement of a London Journal— Mental Disease—Reettrrent Fits of Instinity—Imperilling the Peace of Europe. A despatch trom London says :—Piccadil- ly, our potable society -weekly, vouches for thecorrectness of the followingstatement The Emperor William of Germany, besid- es having a hereditary disposition to a very distressing form of mental malady, suffers from a painfully diseased condition of one side of his head, leadmgto occasional acute crises, which in a less exalted patient would be described as insanity. Despite un- ceasing efforts to keep the matter secret, it has become known that the Kaiser, without consulting any of his advisers, has twice within the past months addressed mes- sages to the St. Petersburg Government, whieh, if they had been taken seriously as the acts of a man answerable for his con- duct, mtst have led to immediate war. The Czar, however, fully understands the unfor- tunate mental condition of his fellow -mon- arch, and being also anxious for peace, has found a way out of the difficulty by ignor- ing the messages orpretending to misunder. stand them. But such a fortunate result of these eccentricities cannot, in the nature of things, be always hoped for Were the Czar, for iustance, desirous of pretext of a justifiable,' eclaration of war, the insane act of the Kaiser would plunge the nation /into a bloody and expensive combat, whose outcome no man could predict. There is deep feeling in Berlin among those familiar with the situation, mid it is all the deeper because nobody ventures to speak openly of what thousands are thinking." Gold Discoveries in Burmah.
