ANOTHER New SHGP.-A Mr.. Torell, of England,
proposes to build ships divided horizontally into
two parts, the upper portion being provided with a
fiat bottom. The rudder is also capable of being
halves of the ship. When perfect ship is required
the halves are secured together by capstans; but
when divided, the upper portion forms a hatbot-
toned boat of large dimensions and light draught
in which much of the cargo can be hoated into
shallow water up rivers into the interior of
country without being displaced. The under por-
tion may be used a separate vessel for coasting

drawing rooms, hardly large enough to admit three

hooped danes. Dancing even in the cabarets ''des

raj beautiful evening costumes one of which was
blue terry velvet; the skirt is without any trim
ming, but is very full the low-necked body is open
en- polnte, almost to the waist; it is followed out
| and forms braces, which are fastened on the
shoulders; the front piece is composed of body of
plated muslin, with sleeves of the same bordered
with terry velvet and they are covered by yolumi-
nous white tulle puf1s. This toilette is completed
by an Egyptian cdche-peigne, a pretty coiffure
formed by tress of blue terry velvet sprinkIed
with gold crescents; it comes rather forward and
forms behind two rings, in which small god
poniards, enriched with sapphres, are inserted
Another is of jonq,itcoored tulle; there are four
skirts over a satin slip of the shade. The
upper skirt is open, and is trimmed round, as are
the others, with pinked ruches of gauze The
body is Of satin, with double berthe of lace,
trimmed with ruches of satin. The bouOnne sleeves
are also decorated with laces and ruches. Tulle,

We see four skirts of tule, two pink and two white
alternately, over slip of white moire antique
The tulle skirts looped up, at equal distances
by bouquets of wild flowers, with light wreaths
from one bouquet to the other. The low body is
formed of tulle bouillonnes and a narrow blondes
the top is trimmed round with very fine wreath
of flowers, with small sprays falling the body
the two in front finished by large tufts.
| Drab velvet is much used for making walking
bonnets. They are often fashioned entirely of the
velvet, and simply ornamented with lace; but for
visiting they trimmed with scarfs of lace and
of bright colored velvet. There is a new colored
velvet-peach blossom-a color exceedingly be-
coming to most compilations. A rosettc of the vel
vet is placed on the top of the hat, with long ends
falling each side. Under the end on the left side
is placed long cured feather, which is gracefully
twisted across the curtain. White satin and col
ored velvet are mixed in making dress bonnets.

How Corn IS PRESERVED IN RUsSA.-At a late
meeting of the Academy of Sciences held in Paris,
letter from NJ de Semchof-a Russian land-hol-
der-was read, describing the manner in which
corn-plts are made in that country. The pits are
dug in dry soil, and instead of masonry the earth
ern sides are hardened by long continued expos
ure to wood fire. Before the corn is introduced.
the air in the pit is rarifed by burning straw in it,
after which the grain is thrown in, packed close,
and the pit is tightly enclosed. Corn has been
preserved in such pits for forty years. Some of
our western farmers, who raise large crops of wheat
and corn, should try this method of preserving
grain during years when there is a great harvest,
in order to lay up store for seasons of an inferior
yield-S American

MY CHILDHOOD'S HOME.

Alasl for the home Of my childhood,
sigh for its pleasures in vain;
The garden, the meadow, the wildwood,
Are all now the strangers domain.
Soft scenes of my happicst hours
Your beauties I'll ne'er again see,
In the field where planted the flowers
There blooms not howerior me-
The Oak and the China meath whose branches
rested,
While zephyrs broathed music around,
Their glory lies withered and wasted
BY the blast of the north wester, crushed to
the ground.
The friends who once round me did rally,
With kind words still cheering me on,
Now repose meath the sod Of the valley,
Alas! they have left me alone.
Yes, there's my father, but ON, where's my moth
err
To the church yard she's long since been borne
No kindhearted sister or brother,
Is left now to hail my return.
Amid Hand Sadness and danger,
Igreve now in silence alone:
For the kindliest tones Of the stranger
But remind nc of loved ones now gono.
Thus alone DER the wide world rover,
Like the wild deer I'll wander at will;
But when liio's weary journey is over
Let me rest on my own native hill.
Let me sleep mid my dearest relations,
With the friends Of my childhood around,
Till all Of earths slumbering nations
Shall wake ut the last trumpet sound.

ADVANTAGES OF WOMEN OVER MEN.

ADVANTAGES OF WOMEN OVER MEN.
Some one sums up the advantages
of women over men as follows: "A
woman may say what she pleases to
you without being knocked down for
it. She can take snooze after din
ner, while her husband has to go to
work. She can go forth into the streets
without being invited to treat at every
coffee house. She can paint her face
il it is too pale, and -four it if too red.
She can stay at home in time of war,
and wed if her husband is killed.
She can wear corsets if too thick
other fixing, if too thin. She can eat,
drink and be merry, without costing a
cent. She can get divorced from her
husband whenever she sees one she
likes better, She can get in debt all
over, until he warns the public by ad.
vertisement-not to trust her on his
account any longer"

that there is an intimate connection

may be argued that females do not
