THE LADIES' COLUMN. .., Uttmt FaaUnn Note*. Heliotrope glovea and stockingacoQetantly grow in favor. Myrtle leaves are mixed with orange bloosoms in bridal wreaths. Large chaux of moire ribbon, matching the fabric in color, loop up the volaminooa draperiaa. Charles X. pink ia rapidly becoming with absinthe ^een, the rival of the iiniversal heliotrope. It ia also known as old pink. The sleeves of all the new French dresses are very full at the armhole and do net tit the arm tightly, except below the elbow. The French milliners call this the "Ameri- can aleeve." Combs are worn like large pins â€" narrow and high. There is sometimes placed at the back of the head, where the twist be- gins, a long comb with abort teeth, to keep the hair in place. Bridesmaids wear Pomp&doar toilets of crepe-de-chine draped over striped silk petticoats. Tnere are also dresses of old- laahioned moire antique and Pompadour lace, a silk lace like the blonde lace of long ago. Maiden-hair ferns of beautifolly shaded green tints and green moire sashes of great width are on pretty atriped lace dresses, and to complete them are capote bonnets of the lace, with green velvet around the brim and a high cluster of ferns for trim- ming. For the new season drena^s of silk and cashmere are being revived. They promise to be popular, because they can be worn as house dresses all the year round in this climate. The skirts are of heavy silk, untrimmed, the draping atid bas<)ue of cashmere, the latter with a silk vest. Dressmakers are abandoning the bala- yeuse. They are troublesome from so frequently coming undone, and it was net an unusual thing to trip over a straggling end. In its place two narrow dounces of silk, the same color as the dreas, are some- times used, but more often nothing at all. Sarah Bernhardt has introduced the fashion of wearing with tea-gowns ailver girdles, dropping belsw the waist and hung with vinaigrettes and tablets. Others are of leather, are undressed and colored either heliotrope or poppy-red. Plain silver belts are shown to wear with belted dresses. For wear iu the rain come silk water- proofs of dark red with close hair-liuea of black, or of dark or old blue with garnet' stripes. They are made to lit tightly iii the back, have large, loose dolman sleeves, permitting free use of the arms, and very full skirts, to allow (or the growing volumi- nousness in draperies. The waistcoat cut in a I' in front, which was fashionable for men last spring, is shown in the new tailor costumes for women this season. The waistcoats are fre<|t]ently of a lighter shade than the waist proper and are sliced out at the throat in this I' shape, showing either a chemisette and white tie or tilled in with white China orape or surah. Few underskirts are trimmed. The vela- minous and fancifully draped overdresses are edged with narrow bands of fur in those of the spring ooetiunm iu wbteb (ur is still useu. On the summer cx>8tunies these upper draperies will frequently be edged with narrow full ruches, either pinked if of silk, or with rolled edges if of other materials. This heavy edging to the swinging draperies adds much to the grace of the wearer when walking. Some of these draperies in India silk are edged with fluffv silk balls to match the colors of the dowers in the stud. A charming spring costume has a skirt of cream white cashmere braided with brown braid. The full draperies are of Uavana brown cashmere and verv long, showing but little of the braided lower skirt. The short pointed basque of the brown has a while braided vest und plain sleeves made somewhat loose above the elbow and gathered into the arm-hole. The wrist ia finished by a narrow cream moire ribbon tied in a smart bow on the outer side of the sleeve, the same in the neck with the bow tied on the left side. Sateens will be more than ever ^wpular this season. They are shown in all the now shades of heliotrope, gray, old-blue, Charles X. pink and the many shades of green. These are made with velvet collars, cuffs and revers, very frts)uently with vests of soft (olds of lace, or silk musUu iu a lighter tint. There are many also in the now Pompadour patterns, with creamy or white grounds strewn with gay llowers. These are made up with the plain sateens of the shade of the ground and are trimmed profusely with lace. Hintit tu HouHekeeper*.

It is a good plan to buy more carpeting than is needed to cover the stairs, and move it each season, so that the whole will wear evenly. If stair carpets cannot be changed in this way they wil not wear nearly so long.

Wllerr They Find Food tu .%UevUte Their Suffering. Animals gel rid of their parasites by using dirt, mud, clay. etc. Those suffer- 1 ing from fever restrain their diet, keep quiet, seek dark, airy places, drink water and sometimes plunge into it. When a dog has lost its appetite it eats that species of grass known as dog's grass, which acts as an emetic and purgative. Cats also eat grass. Sheep and cows, when ill, ae>k out certain herbs. \n animal suffering from chronic rfaeomatism always keeps as much as possible in the sun. The warrior ants seem to have regularly organized ambulances. Latraille cut the antenme of an ant, and the other ants came and covered the wounded part with a transparent tluid secreted m their mouths. If a chimpanzee is wounded it stops the bleeding by placing its hand on the wound or dressing it with leaves and grass. When an animal has a wounded leg or arm hanging on, it complstes the amputa- tion by means of its teeth. A dog, on being bitten in the muzzle by a viper, was ob- served to plunge its bead repeatedly for several days into running water. The animal eventually recovered. .\ sporting dog was run over by a car- riage. During three weeks in winter it remained lying in a brook, where its food was taken to it. The animal recovered. A terrier hurt its right eve. It remained under a counter, avoiding Ught and heat, although it habitually kept close to the fire. It adopted, by way of general treatment, rest and abstinence from food. The local treatment consists in licking the upper surface of the paw. which it applied to the wounded eye, again licking the paw when it became dry. Animals suffering from rheumatic fever treat themselves by the continued applica- tion of cold water, which M. Delaunay con- siders to be more certain than any other method. In view of these interesting facts, we are, he thinks, forced to admit that hy- giene and therapeutics as practiced by ani- mals may. in the interest of physiology, be studied with advantage. Many physicians have been keen observers of animals, their diseases, and the methods adopted by them in their instinct to cure them8elve8,and have availed themselves in their practice of the knowledge so brought under their observa- tion.

The writer tried the scales upon her hat and wrap last week. The little jet and lace affair that fits so jauntily over her shoulders and looks as airy and light as the spring morning itself is no such gossamer. It need weigh ne.\t to nothing, but it can and does run as high as thirty pounds. Ten pounds is good average weight for glitter and tinkle enough to make a panoply of sparkling sun points of their owner as she walks the streets looking like a dewdrop aud feeling like a lump of lead. The long and dignified ratelan that covers the figure from top to toe has possibilities in the way of beads that are not granted it for nothing, and it improves them to the full. Forty pounds it is said to weigh , there are fairy tales of fifty, but the writer speaks only whereof she knows. The bon- net hardly' knows the meaning of avoirdu- pois till it makes the ac<|uaintance of that black king jet, but then it weighs down the scales iu right lordly fashion. Four pounds is little enough for a glittering beaded crown, and there are heads that submit to eight and nine without a murmur for the sake of auch a regal diadem.

She Shot UFi-telr to .4.voi^ Xarrylai; an Elder Who Already Had Four Wires. Sixteen years ago, writes a Jericho Val- ley, Utah, correspondent of the New York Sun. Samuel Bates, a Mormon, then the possessor of two wives, Ann and .Jane, the latter being cbUdlesa, took Mary Lee, au orphin, to bring up according to the rites of the Church of the Latter Day Saints. As Ann had many children to comfort her, the babe was placed in the charge of Jane, a devout Mormon, herself bom in the faith. Mary Lee s parents were from England. Her mother was a delicate little woman, well remembered by many here as a tear- ful and unhappy person. Times were iiaru for them when they first appeared here, and they grew harder for some reason. Just as her husband was about to take a second wife. evidently against the wishes of the companion of his youth, he was killed in a snow-slide, and three months after that his widow died, some said if a broken heart, leaving little Mary alone in the world. Samuel Bates was something of a man among the Mormons, He was called Brother Bates. His first wife was a hard, coarse woman, but Jane, to whom the little orphan went, waa tender, rather gdbd- looking, and tilled with a stern and on bending faith in thedivinity of her religion and a determination to "liTe" it to the end. The child which thus fell to her par- took of her dead mother's disposition. .\a she grew to womanhood she became fair to a degree not often seen in these parts, bat I in spirit she was gloomy, sad. and reticent. Surrounded by Mormons and taught by the pious Jane, she became almost a fanatic on the subject of religion herself, und I readily accepted all that was instilled into her mind as the inspiration of the Lord. .\ year or two ago Mary Lee became aci|uainted with a young man living in a minmg camp not far (rom here, a Gentile. of course, as no Mormon delves (or liold and silver. The youth, Seth Bentlev by name, rarely lost an opportunity to pay the girl little attentions, and at length it be- came the rumor that he waa her accepted lover. She would stroll away to the (oot hills to meet him, of evenings they would be seen by the mountain brook which winds through the town, and on Sunday after- noons, particularly when Brother Bates I was away from home, they would be riding or walking together. Jane made no oppo. sition to the intimacy, but when Brother Bates' attention was called to the matter he felt that it was his duty to inter- fere. Little by little Jane's mind was won over fo his way of thinking, though at first she had been unsuspecting. Bentlev was forbidden the house, and the girl was told that she must never meet him again. But they met after this, not as a result uf Mary's disobedience, but by reason of Beutley's persistance. He found her one day last summer down by the brook, and when she would have run from him he caught her, and. holding her closely, be told her of his affection for her. and entreated her to become his wife, and in return received some encouragement. From that time on they met occasionally, un- known to Brother Bates or to Jane. In September Brother Batea went to New Mexico on an exhortation tour, and when be returned in Uutoiicr be brought back with him a Mormon elder named Cratty. who. seeing Mary Lee, bethought him that he would like to take another wife, his tifth, and he accordingly broached the subject to her on the second day after his arrival. The girl repelled him with horror, but he pressed the suit, and at length brought Brother Batea to his assist- ance. At first Jane opposed the proposi- tion. She was a sincere Mormon, but ber affection for her foster chdd got the better of ber faith for a time, aud until she could be placated Elder Cratty had to hang his harp on the willow. The uu-aus resorted to to bring Jane to see the error of her ways are familiar to all who Imve had intercourse with the strange people who inhabit these valleys. Brother Bates had a vision. Then Elder Cratty had a vision. Then a bishop who was passing through Jericho Valley had a vision. Then tbs Sunday school superintendent, the Sunday school teacheri and the local elders and missionaries had visions. By a singular concensus of opinion all had seen the same thing. Mary Lee was God's choice (or Elder Cratty's wife. Still the girl, now most of the time in tears, like her unhappy mother, dead sixteen years, shrank from the proffer of the visitor, and her foster mother, the kindly but superstitious Jane, atill demurretl. though iirowing weaker in her opposition. The visions (ailmg of the desired effect. Elder Cratty and Brother Bates went up into the mountains some time last month, and, fasting for fourteen days and ui;;ht8. they wrestle>l with the Lord, aud at »he end of their vigil they were rewanled by seeing a great light and hearing a voice from heaven saying that Elder Cratty should take Mary Lee to wife, and that further delay would be both unseemly and displeasing to the Lord. With this revela- tion and the further assurance that a spirit had appeared unto Cratty in a vi-siou say. ing that if Mary Lee would marry hmi she would receive the requisite affection (i>r her husband by pray mi; (or it in the temple, the two weudeil their way homeward *nd communicated to Jane the result o( their prayers aud fastings. I u the face of such undoubted evidence of the Lord's approval that good woman could say no more, and, taking the girl to one side, she advised her to give up her Gontile lover and cling to the husband aelectod for her by Goil, who had promised His servants that if she did not love him now the spirit would confer great and surpassing atTection upon her at her nuptials. I Marv Lee s own faith was strong, and her inclination to follow the teaching of her religion was great : but it took many more interviews to bring her to admit that she had decided to obey the command. When she at last gave her consent there was much joy in Jericho valley, and a great company was made up to go nlong with the wedding party to the temple. They were to start by waggons on a Monday morning. When the sun .auie up over themountaiu range that morning it saw Mary Lee down by the brook, revolver in hand, stone dead. She had risen during the night, aud having sought a secluded spot where she snd Bentley often met. she iiad taken her appeal at once to the Judgeo( all the earth. Her religion would not permit her to marry the man of her choice, and her womanhood revolted against the alliance which, accord- mg to earthly interpretation, the unseen powers had arranged for ber.
