At 4a clearing off was in progress. . More people are getting costumes made for the masquerade ball next week than was ever known here before, and the indications are that it will be one of the most -success— ful affairs of the kind ever witnessed here. A letter received from Carroll Cook, attorney at law, San Francisco, says that if ~~ possible he will attend the ball to be given by the Curly Bears in this city on the 6th __of April. Other prominent members of the erder in other parts of the State are expected here en that occasion. PERSONAL POINTERS. A Concise Chronicle of Various Folks Doings and Intentions. E.

For quite a long time fashions have undergone a slow change, practically reinaining in a stationary state with slight. modifi( This season, «however, a decided change is shown in‘ skirts, in’ the ‘way of draperies. The old-time draped effects are more or less revived with the addition of many pretty and artistic touches, in accordance with modern taste, or with adapta— tions from histori¢al sources. The underskirt, however, will retain its present flaring effect. To many people, the announcement of this coming style is viewed with some apprehension, as it implies}much practical knowledge for the making-up of the new skirts. The best way, however to tind the needed information and all the leading models of the coming season, is to subscribe to one or’ two -Fashion Journals, The McDowell Magazines, which always maintain a high degree of excellence in this respect, will perfectly fill the wants of reveryone on this subject. We netice also that, for the further accommodation vof their customers, these Magazines contain, moderate price, designs of new skirts -and other most novel styles. The patterns and . paper models issued by the house of McDowell & Co., are widely knownand justly praised for their accuracy, and their artistic, as well as their practical excellence. ~~ ‘La Mode de Paris” and ‘‘Paris Album of Fashion” cost only $3.50 a year or 35 cents each per copy. «The French Dressmaker”’ is $3 per annum or 30 cents per copy. ‘‘La ‘.

A. McDowell & Co., 20 West 14th Street, New York. . 20@e Not So Many After All. A few months ago, by the talk that was going on, one would naturally come to the conclusion ‘that this city would be deserted of its population for a time, as everybody, his mother, his uncle, his cousin and his aunts, were all going down to take in the Midwinter Fair. But now all is silent on that proposition and it would seem that but few will go from this-section, not at preseat at least. : ~~ ~ ‘Doctor’s Valuable Services. “I must express my gratitude te you, doctor. I am a thousand times obliged to you. You saved my life,’? said a young man, rushing and shaking the hand of a New York doctor. : ‘‘But I never treated you.”“No, of course you didn’t treat me, but I was about to commit suicide owing to poverty, when my rich uncle died and left ide $10,000. He was one of your patients, and if it hadn’t been for you he might. be Chauvinism. to mean an extravagant and absurd patriotism and pride in one’s own country, with a corresponding enmity toward and contempt for foreign nations. It is the French equivalent, for the jingoism of the London music halls after Lord Beaconsfield’s return from the congress of Berlin in 1878. The origin of the word is due to Chauvin, the name of a figure in the comedy ‘‘La Cocarde Tricolore’ (1881). by the brothers Theodore and Hippolyte Cognard, the action in which includes tho conquest of Algeria. Chauvin is a young recruit who speaks much, displays great courage and sings several couplets with the refrain, ‘‘J’suis Francais, j’suis Chauvin, j’tape sur le Bedouin.’’ The authors of the comedy, however, borrowed the name from that of Nicholas Chauvin, an old soldier of Napoleon, well known in his time in Paris for his devoted enthusiasm for the emperor. Calvin isa Latinized form Eagle. Why Windmills Burned Down. A Of the production of fire by the friction of wood against wood, windmills of the old construction gave, on a large scale, some disastrous examples. When the force of the wind increased, the miller was obliged to bring each of the sails in succession to the ground in or-. der to unclothe it, but when sudden squalls cameon this was impracticable, and the mill, in extreme cases, ran away—that is, could not be stopped. Everything was now done to increase . the grip of the-wooden-brake round-the . great wheel on the driving shaft, and water was poured copiously over them, ‘but in spite of all. this flames would sometimes burst out from the intense friction and the .mill be probably burned down.as the result. The beautiful machinery of the modern windmill, by which the miJler controls the action of the sails from the interior of the building, has reduced this danger to a minimum.—Notes and Queries. Satolli's English Speeches, One characteristic of Mgr. Satolli is the power of his memory. His duties require him to make frequent speeches before American congregations, and therefore in the English language. He writes his speeches out in Italian, for: mulates in his own language and on paper what he wishes tosay and in just what words he wishes to say it, has these speeches translated into English Soe-wonderfultery of detail that no one would suspect from listening to his utterances that he was. not an English scholar. Although not understanding ‘the words he speaks, he gives them an inflection and a pronunciation that are nearly perfeet and proves that the power of imita= tion has been strongly cultivated within him, for he copies every emphasis taught hiin by the interpreter.— Boston Advertiser; ,.

Miller canie over from French Corral this morning and returned home this afternoon, been . Ed. Black left this morning for San Francisco to view the Midwinter Fair and visit riends. He expects to be there two or three weeks and will probably return heré’ before going back to Floriston. The Roads. . owt The roads leading out of this city are in pretty good condition. There are many places that could be mended to good advan-— tage. The stage men say it is perfectly wonderful how the roads have dried up during the past few days. PARALYZED.

Completion of the United States Geological ' Survey In Three New England States. The complete topographical mup of the state.of Connecticut has been completed by the United States geological survey, and the sheets having been combined in a single large map it is now ready for distribution. The original sheets areon a scale of an inch to the mile, with 20 foot contours, but the reduction is on a two inch scale, with 100 foot contours. The cost of the entire work was about $50,000, of which the geological survey bore half, and the state of Connecticut. the other half. The mapping of the entire states of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island has now been finished, and work during the past ear was pushed forward on the state of New York, which ig now under Herbert M. Wilson and well under way. These maps, which are the only accurate and comprehensive topographie work done in the United States, are in steady demand. They are too valuable and expensive for promiscuous distribution like the average government document, but they are given free to all who apply for them. They are the basis for nearly all of the development and improvement schemes of the country where accurate maps are required, and it is from this point of view that they area popular institution with the people. The maps are given freeof charge, but many who want them and do not know this offer good round prices for them, as much as $100 having been offered for a single sectional sheet, the bidder probably being agreeably surprised on receiving the map and his money back as well.— Washington Post. Great Hop Yards of the Northwest. ~ ‘Phe palm for possessing the largest single hop ranch in the world, which has for a long tizne been the prond boast of King county, will soon pass to the east side of the ade mountains. Yakima county has laid claim to the distinction, and by next summer will have every right to it, for there will be at that time upon her rich valley 600 acres of in one body. The big ualmie hop ranch in this county contains 840 acres in one body . to hops, and the Lilienthals of Francisco own a yard at Pleasanton, Alameda county, Cal., of 350 acres, to which they are adding 400 acres more, -which when fully planted will be larger than the Yakima yard.—Seattle Tele~ A LARGE and enthusiastic meeting was} ic, “to find out what reason you can give for representing the new year asa nude small boy.” “That is done,” responded the art editor, ‘‘because the year does not get its close till the 81:t of December.” Then the captions critic went out and broke his nice new pledge.—Indianapolis Journal. ; ~ Broke Into Jail. : Thekeeper of the Portland (Mich.) jail left the jail the other-evening to visit an prisoners he neglected to lock it durin; his absence, When he returned, he found that three men had entered, built a fire in the stove and were occupying three of the cells.—Portland Dispatch.
Straining After Style. The Vienna correspondent of a London journal, writing about the hold that fashion has on the women of the Austrian capital, says: ‘It may beconfidently asserted that every Vienna woman and girl dresses in p station above her lot in life.
