MAKINQ PAPER PATTERNS
How Women Who live Away From th
Centers ofFashion are Able to Cut Their
Garments as Stylishly as Those la the Bi
Cities.
Ono often hears of the severe fashions
of "ye olden times;1' of plain skirts and
bodices, fine in material but simply con
structed, even for "the Sunday best,'1
and we can but look in astonishment to
see the contrast a few years have
brought about Wondering how this
great revolution had taken place, a re-,
porter called on a large fashion-house to
make inquiries. Having stated his ob
ject, he was conducted to a suite of
rooms, each occupied by a number of
pretty girls, all busily engaged in cut-'
ling and folding papers.
"When dresses became more elabo
rate, people in moderate circumstances,
little able to afford dressmakers1 bills,
and who yet wanted to keep up with
the fashions of the day, were at a law to
know what to do, till the inventive
genius of man came to the rescue with
paper patterns. This idea gave rise Id
a large business, which was taken up
by a few companies, generally in con
nection with the sale of sewing-machines,
thus combining the advertising
power needed for the two departments
Since then several houses have started
independently, and one large firm has
even given up the machine department,
paper patterns having absorbed all the
capital, time, and attention of the com
pany. - "Will you telll me how the patterns
are made?11
"When a design has been submitted
designing styles is a profession by
itself either made up from paper or
shown from a French drawing or plate,
and has been approved, competent fit
ters imitate the design in cheap muslin,
simply basting the parts together, yet
being extremely careful to obtain a per
fect and well-fitting model from which
the pattern may be copied. These
models, to insure a sure and stylish
figure, arc fitted to a live model, who
wears the ghostly dress till every plait
is properly adjusted and the garment,
made to compare exactly with the origi
nal design. This cloth model is then
sent to the description-writer, who
carefully rips it apart, at the same time
marking each portion that it may be
exactly replaced from the directions she
writes to accompany each pattern.
Next comes the grader, who takes the
dissected garment and cuts an exact
pattern of each part, putting in all the
notches and perforations as marked
upon the cloth by the description-writer.
The latter by this timeias sent the
directions to the printer, who is fast
making ready the envelopes to hold the
pattern when completed.11
"How are they made to fit different
porsons?11
"The grader, who has a system of
measurement known only to the pro
fession, prepares separate patterns or
'duplicates of the garment properly en
larged or diminished to suit both great
and small. He sends these paste-board
patterns of the different sizes to the
cutters, who stand before large tables
with imraonse sheets of tissue paper in
layers of fifty spread before them. The
pattern is th'eu marked upon them and
cut with large shears, and then is
handed to girls, who with trained fin
fiera rapidly fold and place them in
the envelopes now in waiting.
"Much art work is vequired in an es
tablishment of this kiud, as the cloth
model, after fitting, has to be sketched
by skillful artists, who arc to bring out
in the most graceful manner the curves,
folds, and various novelties represented
in the f ashion, to make :is acceptable a
wood-cut as possible to use in the illus
trated catalogue, upon the envelopes
and other advertising mediums. Most
houses issue a fashion paper, a few spicy
and catching notes from the outer
world helping the circulation of what
without these would be a puro adver
tising sheet"
"Are these patterns much sought
after?"
"Over a million of patterns are sold
yearly by one house, agencies being es
tablished all over the world, though it
is conceded that the most substantial
orders are from the crowing West and
from towns where the facilities for ob
taining reliable stvles are few and fee
ble. A love of being a la mode lies
either latent or expressed in the heart
of every woman, and to the favored
ones living in the city a walk down the
leading street or avenue brings to the
mind of both young and old some new
idea of dress, with which the country
girl can only be blessed by the advent
of a city visitor or by the fashion papers
brought by the kindly mails. These
papers are eagerly waited for and
grasped on their arrival. Each new
stylo is conned and criticised, and the
want of the heart tilled and happiness
made complete by the knowledge that
a few cents will bring the requisite pat
tern and. full directions for the making
of the garment desired.11
"How manv new styles are brought
out a month ?Tl
"From fifteen to sixty new styles are
manufactured monthly, and these some
times form a nucleus for a two hundred
page magazine partially made up of
stories, articles on art decoration, prac
tical housekeeping, etc, forming still
another solid medium for farther circu
lation of the styles manufactured. Twice
a year styles are "killed" in order u
keep thestock reduced to the proper
number. The undesirable fashions are
easily detected on examining the orders,
which reveal sometimes a fickle and
changeable public taste. A stroll
through an establishment like this de
scribed is interesting as illustrating a
manufacture well repaying tire happy
invention of the discoverer of a want
long felt and supplied with the little
oblong envelopes containing the myste
rious angles, curves, and curious shapes
of brown tissue, dotted and notched,
called paper patterns." N. Y. Mail and

AN ASTONISHED CAT.
How Poll Parrot Frightened
Fuss and
Saved Her Own Life.
Gautier, the French writer, had a eat
which slept on his bed of nights, on the
arm of his chair in the day, followed
him when he walked, and always kept
him company at meals. One day a
friend left his parrot in Gautier's charge
during his absence. The poor bird sat
disconsolate on the top of his stand,
while ffie cat stored at the strange
sight Gautier followed her thought,
and she seemed to be saying:
"It must be green chicken1
Thereupon she jumped from his
writing table, crouched flat with head
low, back stretched out at full length,
and eyes fixed immovable on the bird.
Parrot followed all the movements,
raised his feathers, sharpened his bill,
stretched out his claws, and evidently
prepared for war. The cat lay still,
and seemed to "be thinking:
"No doubt though green, the chicken
must be good to eat"
Suddenly her back was arched, and
with one superb bound she was on the
perch, when the parrot screamed out:
"Have your breakfast, Jack?"
e Pussy was, almost frightened out of
her wits. She cast an anxious glance'
at her master, leaped down and hid
under the bed, from which no threat or
caress could bring her out for the day.

A STRANGE PHENOMENA.
What aa Eye-Witness Has to Say About the
Underground Fires Now Baglng In High
land CoBBty, Virginia.
Among the recent arrivals in the city
was Mr. Edward B. Elder, of Highland
County, Virginia. Of late there have
been reports from that section of the
country of a strange phenomena which
was said to have been witnessed in the
mountains a few miles from Mon
terey Court House, Highland County,
Where the earth was said to be one
burning mass. The fact that Mr. Mul
hattonwas known to be in another
quarter of the globe gave the story
some credence, and more especially so
as it was vouched for by responsible
men. A reporter, learning of Mr. El
der's arrival, went in search of him last
night to see if he knew anything con
cerning the matter. He was found
comfortably ensconced in a cushioned
chair at the Gait House, talking to
some friends. When asked if he had
heard of the strange performance na
ture was said to be guilty of, he replied:
"It is certainly true, and is the most
remarkable thing I ever heard of. From
present indications I should say that we
are likely to have another edition of
Mount Vesuvius produced in the moun
tains of Virginia. The phenomena con
sists of fires which seem to be raging
under the earth, on top of the peaks in
Highland County, and the ground for a
considerable distance seems to be a
smoldering mass. The first heard of it
was a report brought by a boy who
claimed to have walked over the place
which was on fire. The country around
is almost inaccessible, and it is very
seldom that any one ventures so far up
on the mountains, therefore it was only
by accident that the discovery was
made. A few days ago the boy, who
was in search of some lost sheep, wan
dered on foot among the hills, until he
got several miles from home. All at
once he felt the air grow warmer, and
experienced a strange sensation, as if
some burning substance was beneath
nim. He was on an elevated plateau,
probably a quarter of a mile square, on
the top of one of the small mountains.
At first ho was greatly alarmed and
started to run away. His curiosity
overcame his fear, however, and he
stopped to see if he could find the
cause of the unusual warmth. He
Atnnned and nlaced his hand on the
earth, and was startled to find that it
was so hot as to almost blister his flesh.
He did not pursue his researches any
further, but proceeded at once to his
home, where he told of the strange oc
currence. No faith was put in the nar
rative, and it was thought by the neigh
bors that the youth was going crazy.
"The news finally reached the town
of Monterey, and some scientifically-in
dined persons determined to investigate.
Piocuring the boy for a guide, they
went to the place and found that all he
had stated was true. When they re
turned, they told even a more wonder
ful story than that told by the boy.
This produced a great sensation
throughout the immediate country, and
a great many persons were nearly
frightened out of their wits. The super
stitious were of the belief that the day
of judgment was close at hand and be
gan to make preparations to respond to
tne call 01 ine trumpet, wmen uiey
momentarily expected to wake the si
lence of the mountains. I lived some
distance away, but when the news
reached me I determined to satisfy my
self. After nearly a day's travel over
.the rough mountain road, which wound
around cliffs at the foot of overhanging
rocks, I arrived within a short distance
of the region. 1 here loft my horse,
and, together with a couple of friends
who had accompained me, proceeded as
best I could to the place indicated. I had
beard exaggerated stories, and was
almost prepared for anything, but I must
confess that I was greatly startled. The
earth for yards around seemed to be a
smouldering heap and was as hot as an
oven. In places a hard crust had formed
over the clay, and large fissures made
by the heat The air seemed very dense
and foggy, and in many places a bluish
smoke Droke through holes in the earth
and spread over the mountain tops. We
dug down to the depth of probably three
feet and came to a yellowish sort of clay
which was almost as soft as putty.
When a shovelful was thrown out on
the ground it smoldered like a heap of
ashes, and a quantity of smoke seemed
to rise from it. It was very hot, and
glowed with a strange brilliancy, which
lasted for hours. We tried the experi
ment of digging down in a number of
places, and always with the same re
sults. The deeper we went the more
pronounced was the phenomena, and
we found it ditlicult to stand over the
opening. How long this has been in
tirogress no one knows, and the most
earned are baffled for a reason. It looks
as if a volcano was at work and ready
at any moment to burst an opening
through the earth and throw out its
volume of smoke and fire. Hundreds
of "people have visited the place, and
all have Come away more mystified than
a.ver." Louisville Courier-Journal.
Life in Florida.

The result of this gross living is an un
healthy disposition of body, a bloodless
face, and childftn the color of death
with unnatural appetites. I have seen
them chewing and eating clay, mud,
cement and other things, and it is not
uncommon for death to be caused from
such practices. Many are too poor to
live even as well as this. The pork not
imported is obtained from the "razor
back" hogs, which run almost wild in
the country, and are as trig a nuisance
as can be imagined. They are an infe
rior breed descended, it is said, from
old Spanish stock, and are seen in
droves tearing through the woods,
breaking into plantations and doing
more damage to property than they are
worth. They have long gaunt bodies
with a head like a monster pike, and
each one bears on the ear the owner's

A HUMAN BAROMETER.
Am Old Soldier's Ability to Foretell Stoi
Through an Injured Leg.
The surgeons of the Jefferson college
hospital in this city, writes a corres
pondent from Philadelphia, havo been
very much interested recently in a some
what unusual case that has been in their
bands for treatment It is that of a
man who may be described as a human
barometer. So far, however, from
boasting of his power to foretell changes
in the weather, the patient, whose name
is Frederick Gnyer, went to the hospital
in hopes that the surgeons might cure
him of his malady. During the war
Guyer was Captain of Company D,
Ninth New York Volunteers. Early in
the morning of the second day's light
in the Wilderness he was struck by a
Minie rifle ball, which penetrated his
rihtleg three inches above the knee.
Ine engagement was so hot at the time
that his comrades could render him no
further attention than to place him
under a tree somewhat out of the direct
lino of firo, and there he remained for
thirty-six hours, when a cnange of front
by the Federal lines left hira in Con
federate territory, and he was taken
Erisoner. The rebel surgeon into whoso
ands he fell insisted upon amputating
his leg, and the operation was roughly
performed by candlelight, the limb being
taken off at the thigh.
"Six or seven days after that," said
Captain Guyer to the Times' corres
pondent this morning "I began to feel
severe pains in the stump, and have
never been wholly free from suffering
since. The sensation is apparently in
the foot I have never felt any pain
that seemed to come from the thigh, or,
indeed, from anywhere above the ankle.
There is usually a twitching sensation,
such as a man experiences in the elec
tric bath, at the point where tho great
toe joins the foot Sometimes there is
a similar feeling in the little toe; then,
again there is a burning sensation
across all the toes, and occasionally a
pain in the heel. Before my treatment
in the hospital I could alwaj'S tell by the
increased severity of the pain when we
were going to have a storm. It was es
pecially severe just before a north or a
northeast wind began to blow, but when
there was a big storm coming my toes
would begin to ache three or four days
in advance, and as the storm approached
the pain would become so intense as to
almost set me crazv. You remember
tho big electric storm we had
three years ago, when the aurora
filled the sky at night, and all
the telegraph wires were disarranged.
I was living then in West Twenty-eighth
street, New York, and felt the storm
coming three days before it appeared. I
suffered more at that time than on any
other occasion. The pain grew more
severe as the storm approached, seemed
to vary with its distance and its fluctu
ations, and reached a climax just before
it broke. Then the painful sensations
began to pass away, and in a few hours,
while the storm was still raging, I was
at ease again. I could always foretell
any change in the weather, either from
fair to stormy or from stormy to fair,
and could also tell its severity. A local
storm or one of light magnitude affect
ed me but slightly, while a general
storm was announced by its unpleasant
forerunners according to its magnitude;
and, similarly, I knew by the relief
from pain when clear weather was com
ing. Since leaving the hospital I have
been comparatively free from pain,
though I still feel occasional twitches."
The operation performed on Captain
Guyer was as remarkable as hi6 dis
ease. It consisted of the removal of a
number of large bulbous formations
from the stumps of the nerves. Bulbs
about the size of the middle finger of
the average loan's hand and nearly an
inch long were cut off from the grealor
and lesser sciatic nerves, and smaller
formations were removed from other
nerves. In all six of these abnormal
growths were found and removed. The
patient was kept in the hospital four
weeks, and was discharged about two
weeks ago, though he still reports peri
odically for examination and treatment
The wounds made by the scalpel are
healing nicely, and the doctors think
that when the inflammation subsides no
more pain will be felt The patient is
about forty-five years of age, of slender
build, anil, aside from his peculiar
malady, is in good health. He has
never worn an artificial leg, but has al
ways used cmtches. Dr. John H. Brin
ton, the operating surgeon, is preparing
a monograph on the case for publica
tion in a medical journal. N.Y.Times.

"Well, Mike, how goes it?" said the

' "Bad enough, Master John, for your

"Is he, indeed. Poor Jack! He has
gone the way of all flesh. How did he
die?"
"Well, they don't rightly know, sir;
but they think he must have overeat
himself."
"The greedy fellow. What di- they
give him so much for?"
"Well, sir, it seems he must have got
to the place where the dead horses was
lying "
"Dead horses! What dead horses?"
"The carriage horses. It was a very
bad day and a heavy road, and they
were kept standing."
"When? What day? Whatroad?"
"The road to tho cemetery, sir, and
the day of the funeral."
"What funeral?"
"Why, the mistress's, sir."
"Not my mother's!"
"The same, sir, rest her soul. She
took the master's death so much to
heart that she did not live three days
after him."
"The master's! Heavens, Mike; do
you tell me I have lost both my pa
rents!" "The poor ould master took to his
bed when he received the bad news,
and niver left it, sir, till they put him in
his coffin."

1 HE BLACK REPUBLIC.
A Kaoe of SaTag-es without Hope of Re
demption Horrible Tal of Crimes and
Superstition.
Sir Spencer St John has just written
a book on tho Hayti savages. He says
the inhabitants were and savages they
are likely to remain, indulging in all
the horrible rites and acts of cannibal
ism. There are many restrictions whico
the whites have to contend with in all
commercial transactions, besides tho
unfairness of the laws; in brief, there
are no laws framed that afford protec
tion to the white. This rule is carried
to such an extent that Judges are afraid
to give a verdict in favor of a foreigner,
no matter what crime the black may
have committed. The dreadful massa
cres that took place during the revolu
tion are related with minute accuracy,
and the only man who had any humani
ty in his composition was Toussaint, the
hero of the time, who with the true in
stinct of a General, foresaw that his
undisciplined forces could not cope with
the perfect discipline of the European
troops. He,therefore,inl79o,formedfour
regiments of two thousand men each,
whom he had drilled daily by French
soldiers, his former prisoners. "During
the continuous fighting, which occu
pied a considerable period, Toussaint
showed great magnanimity and control,
and what was of great importance to
the unprotected, when his word was
once pledged he never broke it" Pass
ing over this busy period, we can not
find as the years roll on that the brutal
nature of the Haytians had changed one
iota, and it is difficult to decide which
are the most bloodthirsty the negroes
or the mulattoes. "When the decree
was issued by Dessalines that mulatto
children should inherit tho estates of
their white fathers, two young men
met, and one said to the other, you
kill my father, and I will kill yours;1
which they accordingly did, and took
possession of the estates." Now for a
black example. "A negro General,
grandfather of a lady I knew in Hayti,
went to Dessalines after the appearance
of tho decree, to murder the white
French left in the island, and said:
Emperor, I have obeyed your decree,
I have put my white wife to death.1
'Excellent Haytian,' answered he,
but an infernal scoundrel. If ever
again you present yourself before me 1
will have you shot"
No portion of the book is more strik
ing and so likely to prove the retro
grade condition of the people than the
revolting custom of the voudoux wor
ship and its attendant horrors of canni
balism. The obscenity of the rites and
the hideous practices are best described
in the author's own words: A child has
been stolen for the purpose of making a
feast "She was thrown on the ground,
her aunt holding her by the waist,
whilst the papaloi pressed her throat
and the others held her legs and arms;
her struggles soon ceased, as Floreal
had succeeded in strangling her. Tben
Joanne handed him a large knife, with
Which he cut off Claircine's head, the
assistants catching the blood in a jar;
then Floreal is said to have inserted an
instrument under the child's skin, and
detached it from the body. Having
succeeded in flaying their victim, the
fiesh was cut off from the bones and
placed in large wooden dishes; the en
trails and skin being butted near to the
cottage. The whole party then started
for Floreal's house, carrying the re
mains of their victim with them. On
their arrival Jeanne rang a little
WjII, and a procession was formed;
tuc head borne aloft, and a sa
cred song sung. Then preparations
yere made for a feast Jeanne
cooked the flesh with congo beans,
small and rather bitter (pois congo),
whilst Floreal put the head into a pot
with yams, to make some soup. While
the others were engaged vi the kitchen,
one of the women present, Roseide
Sumera, urged by the earful appetito
of a cannibal, cut from the child's palm
a piece of flesh and ato it raw (this I
heard her vow in open court. The
cooking over, portions of tho prepared
dish were handed round, of which all
present partook, and the soup being
ready, it was divided among tho assists
ants, who deliberately drank it The
night was passed in dancing, drinking
and debauchery." In another case a
French priest said to a mother: " How
could you eat the flesh of your own
children?" She answered, coolly: "And
who had a better right? est ce que ce

TURKISH WOMEN.
The Relations of Females In Turkey
Towards the Opposite Sex.
On the street the women are models
of propriety, They never speak to a
man on such occasions, though they
will stare at a foreigner with simple and
child-like curiosity. Fiances are al
lowed to walk and talk together, and it
is the correct thing for accepted lovers
to serenade their dulcineas in the even
ing with a guitar. The Hitter custom
seems to be in the nature of a final test
of the strength of the bride's attach
ment Certainly from what I heard, if
she can stand his music with compos
ure, there are few trials as bad that will
come to her in after life, unless he sings
again. There has been the same
loosening of rigidity of late years in the
matter of women going abroad alone as
in other lines of Turkish conduct To
read the old statutes one would think
the lines very hardly drawn, Thus in
the time of Mouradlll. the women were
forbidden to vJuar bright colors, or sail
in a caique without their husbands, and
if a woman was found in the streets
alone it was the duty of every good
Mouradian to stop her, reprove
ber, and order her to go home.
To-day the statutes are less severe,
but in dead earnest as far as they do go.
But the women are more careful, and
ttough they are seen everywhere, rid
ing in the cars, buying in the bazars,
and lunching quietly in the cemeteries,
they never venture to speak to a stran
ger in the street

If a man begins to save against his

him as a small capitalist who is giving

upon him as indulging irfdangerous ca
prices, which mar end in the necessity
of putting a bullet through his head.
There may be exceptions here and there.
Sometimes you will find an old lady
who will protect eccentricity in a par
rot a magpie, or a jackdaw, as a bird
that has a right to a certain freedom of
movement in return for its entertaining
attempts at conversation. But, on the
whole, there is no sterner standard of
conventionality than that which we en

It seems, from all that can be
learned from the fair sex, that Worth
and his compeers in Paris charge a
round hundred thousand francs, say
twenty thousand dollars, to outfit a
vouftg lady for the matrimonial voyage.
For this she is equipped from top to toe:
everything is of the best and in the
latest fashion. Of course this is not the
limit. Ladies in Paris occasionally
spend two hundred and fifty thousand
francs for their trousseau, and are heard
to complain, a few weeks after marri
age, that they have nothing to wear.
A few days since, as workmen were
removing old ice from Ober & Co.'s ice

found a large frog between two blocks

A number of heavy blows were required
to separate the blocks, when on being
released, his frogship stretched himself
a few times to get limbered up and then
hopped away as lively as ever, appa

A LIFE OF HARDSHIPS.
A Providence Hoy's Kxpcricnce as a De
serter from the French Army. .
The News printed, on Saturday, a
story of a boy who enlisted in the French
arm aud deserted three times. Tho
names were withheld because tho
parents desired to keep to themselves
the greatest trouble of their lives. Bi'l
now as they have decided to appeal to
the Secretary of State for assistance in
getting their son out of the army, it
were better that the uames be given,
that they may have the sympathy, at
least, of'those who know the facts. The
father's name is Simon Hcrion, a
Prussian, who came to this country
about fourteen years ago. He is em
ployed in the "Wanskuck Mills, is a citi
zen of tho United States, and is highly
esteemed for Ids industry, his Christian
character and worth. His wife is :
Swiss, who lived on the. French side of
the Confederacy. Hence, the father
speaking German aud the mother
French," the boys (Henry and John) be
came fluent in the use of both. It is
unnecessary to repeat the story of the
boys' wanderings. It closed with the
fact that Henry, the elder brother, had
been recaptured after his third
desertion and led back to prison. News
has been received that he was sentenced
to fifteen years' hard labor with tht
chain-gang There are three French
militarv posts in Algeria. At one oi
these Henry is held. They live in tents,
and the fare is wretched. The guard
has orders to shoot any one who at
tempts to desert But every one of
them can be bought.
When Henry was recaptured after
one desertion he was kept 120 days in
an underground dungeon, given only
bread and water, aud a little dirty soup
once a week. The hardships through
which he has passed seem almost in
credible. When John reached Algeria
he went into the country to find the
farmer for whom Henry worked. The
farmer was away on a two days' jour
ney. John waited for his return, and
learned that Henry was in a place near
the coast through" which John passed.
As he stated in the other account John
reached this place to see Henry led
away by a French officer. If he had
not lost two days waiting for the return
of the farmer, he would have found
Henry before the officer discovered him,
and he might have escaped. John at
once started for home, and is expected
even- day. Henry Hcrion is a minor,
not twenty years of age, and on this
ground an attempt will be made through
the Secretary of State to eficct his
release.
Since writing the above it has been
learned that the son John has this
morning reached his home in Wanskuck.
He left Algeria on November 22. Prav

pounds, and was sitting in the corner by
the rear door. Suddenly he jumped from
his seat to ask the conductor a question.
She (iunocent, unthinking creature)
thought he meant to leave the car, and
so she slid into the seat he had just va
cated. Soon he concluded the inter
view with the conductor and bejran to
slide back into his eat again. The lit

bulky form gradually assuming fright
