TEE WOMAN OF FASHION. Latest Fancies Devised for Umbrella Handles. Sets of Unlr-Plna to Adorn the Xewcst of Gold and Cut Silver the Favorites In Ilnlr Ornaments- Jeweled Headed Toilet Pins. 1SJH.J Something- neiv must constantly be 'flevisecl to meet the demand for the in parasol and umbrella han- The woman of fashion carries an nearly always in her promenades, both in winter and summer; and, SB consequence, she is continually on the "lookout for any thing-thatis new, jaunty, cclogaut and attractive. Dresden china is the latest material 3hat is used for umbrella handles.

It 2s stout and thick when put to this use, and does not break as easily- as one suppose from merely hearing- of fad. The color of the Dresden va- according- to the taste and dress of tier -who carries it. Dark colored handles, slightly decorated, accompany um- that arc used for church, pingfand calling-. Vvhile light, gay ones, Dolly Varde.n in appearance, are qi an afternoon in the parks and upairthc avenue. Bins for the hair are worn in all sizes, -makes arid designs, and in as great a quantity as one can boast.

A pretty of hair-pins is a set in tortoise shell and gold. Three of the have gold heads, all different in with tortoise-shell prongs, and the others have twisted gold prongs Sopped with themost exquisite shades of tortoise shell, varying in color from a 3ovely amber to a deep wins brown. In the hair of a light blonde these aj-e positively dazzling-, reflecting the golden shades of hair and givicg back a radiance from the manv-colorcd tortoise i if Another set of hair-pins varied widely in the design of each pin. One had the body of an asp for a head; another ivas a dull red gold with a cat's eye set a third was "cut silver that like diamonds; frosted gold was and the prettiest of all was a of turquoise aad rnoon- These pins are all meant for a-ctual service as well as ornament. Another fancy in the line of new jewelry, though an expensive one, is for having toilet pins headed with real jewels instead of the common heads that grace the pins that come by the js.

rf HOOD. These jewelled pins arc obtainable, in imitation, for a few cents a bos, but the real ztrticle costs money. A certain belle left an order witb. her jeweler for fifty gurnet-headed pins, twelve chip diamond ones, one hundred eacn of light gold and cut silver and half a dozen each of emerald, turquoise, pearl and Dresden. Many of these jewels require a gold setting; so, although, they were to be the tiniest gems that could be 'procured, the cost was snore than the average woman of taste care to expend upon an article of so easilylosfarid so really slight Sn the matter of ornamentation.

Every thing that can be done to the charm of the tea gown is MOW devised by the modiste who understands her At an afternoon tea a young matron appeared in an ex- vtrnisite gown designed by an.American artist, and executed upon our own silk ISooms. It was gold color in' line with -a 'Suspicion of orange flashes darting across it. Pink figures were faintly ontlined on the surface, blending with the', background in an indistinct wavy of color. The- waist was half confined by a girdle Tvhich consisted of a number of miniatures painted on porcelain and'set with and moonstones. The likenesses those of celebrated people' whom fche Had known and who, as a special token of their friendship, had had the paintings executed.

Around the neck of the went three chains of gold, beautifully cut. and from the center hung an immense diamond th.it reflected the tints of the gown and! of the girdle. The rage for gathered and puffed sleeves is so great that they have even invaded the precincts of the decollate gown. This seems almost impossible, yet it is managed and in such a cunning way as to 'defy detection really well A gown is made low-necked and sleeveless. the shoulders, is fastened a tight-fitting silken strap and this strap is gathered, a- full, long sleeve which extends to the waist and 3s there gathered in upon a band.

At first sight, one is startled to' see the high. puffs standing securely upon the bare shoulders and only the long graceful of the sleeves frees one from the -oncoinf ortable sensation that the wearer annst be suffering tortures with the pinned into her shoulders. One never sees extremes in fashion Hipon the woman of refinement and "taste. It is the woman who' is ambitious beyond her means' and who is "bad in general and language presxwnes to wear street garments as they are worn in Paris or who goes to the utmost height permissable in any thong. In the long skirts that one sees now upon the street there is a good illustration of this.

The truly fashionable woman wears her skirt just escap- ingthe street-in front and barely sweeping the pavement in the rear. There ia nojperceptible fullness at either front or and' the back is gathered in a double fold of fullness that spreads out almost like a fan as it reaches the bot torn of the skirt A very stylish street dress of this description was of ecru cloth, tailor made. The jacket had a bordering of light fur aad a high collar of the same, while a four inch band of the fur went around the bottom of the skirt. These plain skirts actually 'demand a change in dress from the old-time petticoat and underskirt, the fullness of these 'garments being such as to seriously affect the hang of a plain skirt and to cause an awkward appearance around the knees. Then, too, the petticoat can- not be quite as long as a sweeping plain skirt, "and, consequently, the place where it leaves off is disagreeably apparent to observers.

The new style of divided skirt does away with this difficulty, for it provides DOLLY DEBUTANTE A-N'D MISS SECOND warmth and sufficient protection, while it does not in the least produce a bungling- effect, nor tend to twist about the knees of the wearer as she walks. The most clegafit and expensive are very long, coming almost to the ankles, aid are rather tight. They cost upwards of ten dollars each and are not altogether convenient, being difficult to lift out of the mud in sloppy weather. Another style, costing only a quarter as much, is made of heavy linen or even poplin. These are satisfactory in warm weather.

Bu1 the divided skirt that holds the palm ol popular approval is a combination oJ silk and wool It ties just below the waist with a shir ribbon, extends only to the knees and has a clinging quality that makes it just the thing for warmth, health and ease in windy weather, or when the thermometer threatens to take a run down among the zeros. With such a petticoat as this and an all-wool combination garment, a woman, is prepared for all kinds of weather, save very hot. Latest advices insist that all boas Shall be feat, somewhat broad and very long, reaching to the hem of the skirt. A fashionable boa of this description is in black Angora, A high collar of the same material is fastened to the boa and surrounds the neck. front is fastened with a silver clasp.

The effect is something like a cape with long fronts falling loosely to the bottom of the skirt. The cape in seal and astrakan is new, because it combines the high, Straight collar with a large Medici which can be turned up or down at pleasure. A toque in seal and astrakan and a cairugorum brooch ornament accompanies this, and there is also a seal muff with astrakan gauntlets fastened to the ends. This very convenient arrangement protects.the wrists and keeps the hands warm inside the muff. A'charmingly becoming carriage cloak came out, last week.

It was of slack silk brocaded in crimson. It was GEOLOGICAL MYSTERIES. THE PEMSSB AS SEE IS WOES. SKETCHED AT HOETLIS. lined throughout with, 'fine white Mon- golafur and an immense boa of the same decorated the neck and' front of the cloak.

Supposed Origin of Stwne of the Preoloui Stones or Commerce. Geology has been a revelation to mankind told-us wonderful thines of the past history of the earth. But geology has secrets of that are as hidden from comprehension as the atmosphere of the moon or the belts of Saturn. -Certain things have been done, says the geologist, through volcanic action or tho agenc.y "of fire, and that is as near as be can come to it So that, after all, we see effects, but know little or nothing- of "tno causes. There is a rock known as amygoaloid, one of the igneous rocks, which in some of the gigantic transformations of nature, we will say in cooling from a melted state, formed within itself cavities from tbe size of a marble or bead to that of tbe closed hand.

Kow, as nature abbors a vacuum, she set to work to fill these cavities, and in doing so she used other materials, and tbese combinations produced some of wbat we call the "precious stones of commerce." Exactly how this was done we can not tell, but we see some hint of the operation in- every subterranean cave where stalactites and stalagmites are found. Every student knows that this is the result of dropping water which contains carbonate of lime. The water' evaporating, leaves a'minute particle of lime, which takes something to itself from the earth or atmosphere, and in the course of ages bodies are formed of a. most remarkable character. In probably somewhat the same fashion have these cavities filled in the igneous rocks, and then come time and storms and other agencies, earthquakes, perhaps, and the rocks are rent apart, and out drops a head or a bowlder, and a curioua man picks it up and hammers and breaks it, and then he puts a polish on it by some process more or less advanced, and lo! he holds in his nand an agate or an onyx.

Many of the stones used in tho arts have no other origin and are deposits of silica, alumina, oxide of iron and other coloring substances. It is the color or arrangement of colors that gives the name, and thug we have agate, onyx, chalcedony, carnelian, sard, cbrysopraso, sardonyx and others, all members of the quartz family and all having a family resemblance. The agate has veins of different shades of color in parallel lines. Sometimes tbese are very close together, as many.as fifty to the inch, hut this is unusual. When there are alternate bands of.color and a transparent have the onyx; but tbe latter may be obtained by cutting the stone fn a dif ferent way.

Agates are used chiefly for ornamental purposes, such as cups seals, rings, handles for parasols swords, table and mantel ornaments hut the material is so hard that it can only be worked by those who have prac ticed skill. Tho onyx was valued by the ancients for its application tc cameos and first an oh ject in relief, the latter a "cut in' process; and these objects are stil made. Nature produces some veri Strange forms and agates are found with exact resemblances moss and other, natural- objects and figures, which are very curious anc often very valuable. An alyst. POST-OFFICE THIEVES.

COUNTING BANK BILLS. The Methods Employed By the Receiving of City Banks. are two kinds of bank bills," said a man who has handled a good many of them. "There are the National bank bills and the Government notes. The former have vignettes on each end; on the left hand only.

The Treasury Department made a m'stake in putting the vignette on the left end of the Government note, for this reason: Take'a bundle of these bills in a banjt; the bank clerk in counting such a bundle places bis left hand on the laft end of the bundle and counts tbe right end' with his right thumb and finger. The vignette is trTe most difficult thing to counterfeit, and for that very reason ft is counterfeited most. In counting such bills as I have been speaking aborft this vignette is not seen by tbe bank cler.k and ho is more liable to count in a spurious note' than if he saw tbe vignette. The expert knows a bad vignette almost at a glance. I think if the Treasury Department had thought of this the vignette would have been put on the ngnt end of bill." This was told to the cashier of a Dearborn street bank.

He smiled when he heard it. "In the first place," he said, "bank clerks do not count bills in the way you mention. If. they do they Violate orders. Tbe instructions are that they shall handle the bills so ihat each one will come entirely within the range of the eye.

I presume there are violations of this rule in every bant. Even so an expert has other means' of detecting a bad bill than looking at the vignette. However, I ani of the opinion that the vignette would be an additional safeguard if it were on the right end of Tribune. According- to nn Inspector They Risk Much For Small Results. "How do you grade the man who robs letters in the category of thieves?" "It is difficult to answer that question.

They are neither foolish nor stupid. I can say that they are generally desperate men who are willing to risk so much for small results. Suppose a man should open a dozen letters and abstract their contents. He would be as much amenable to the law as if he should open a hundred' or a thousand letters and secure a goodly booty. Yet in that dozen letters there may be not a penny.

The -mail- thief flJlways take great chances. always knows that -the authorities will use every means in their power to get him into their clutches, and when they do that it is all up with m. Men who break open letters and take their contents are generally men who have fallen from grace into bad habits-and have be come reckless. Generally they lose their self-respect and their possessions by gambling. Theji in trying to get even with the world they hope that the mails will help them on, forgetting for awhile the consequence of their acts.

Take the case of George W. Harris, the railway postal cleric who -is now a fugitive from justice. He was in the Government service for a dozen years. He was a good clerk and was well known. His weakness was betting on the races- One week he won over fourteen hundred dollars, but the next week he lost it and more, too.

Getting deeper into debt and lacking the nerve to be honest and to face his creditors he got desperate, robbed the registered letters in his charge, disgraced himself and his family, destitute and ran away. His was an example of tbe average weakness of the man who'will pilfer the letters to which he may have access. It is not so much the damage that the post- office robber does the letters whose contents he abstracts, but the loss that he inflicts upon others outside of the letter- writer. He may have to open fifty letters before-he secures a dollar bill. All these letters that have inclosures that he-.

can not u.ae willfully destroyed, and great loss and inconvenience is entailed upon the correspondents and upon those merchants to whom the letters have directed. Generally the thief is discovered, and then he ia made to dance a very lively jig to the music of: his own-, Evening Post Too Bad. "How many languages do you speak, Mr. DuUpate?"
