How TO Dress well.

In an old number of Al the YeaY
Round we find the following: GAS you
look from your window in Paris, observe
the first women who pass; forty have
noses depressed in the middle. small
quantity of dark hair, and a sHarthy
complexion; but then, what a toilet
Not only suitable for the season, but to
the age and complexion of the wearer.
How neat the feet and handsl How
well the clothes are put on, and, more
than all, how well they suit each 9TH
er."
We have often said the same thing
in other words. Before our English
women can dress perfectly, they must
have the taste of the French, especially
In color. One reason why we see colors
ill-arranged in this country is, that the
different articles are purchased each for
its own imagined virtues, and without
any thought of what it is to be worn
with. Women, while shopping, buy
what pleases the eye on the counter,
forgetting what they have got at home.
That parasol is pretty, but it will kill
by its color one dress in the buyers
wardrobe, and be unsuitable for all
others. To be msgnifcently dressed
certainly costs money; but to be dress
ed with taste is not expensive. 1t re-
quires good sense, knowledge, refine
ment. Never buy an article unless it
is suitable to your age, habits, style and
to the rest of your wardrobe. Nothing
is more vulgar than to wear costly
laces with a common delaine, or cheap
laces with expensive brocades.
What colors, we may be asked, 60
best together2 Green with violet ;
gold with dark crimson or lilac; pale
blue with scarlet; pink with black or
white; and grey with scarlet or pink.
A gold color generally requires warm
tint to give life to it. Grey and pale
blue, for instance, do not combine well,
both being cold colors. White and
black are safe wear, but the latter is
not favorable to dark or pale complex
ions. Pink is, to some skins, the most
becoming; not, however, if there is
much color in the cheek and lips; and
if there be even a suspicion of red in
either hair or complexion. Peach-color
is perhaps one of the most elegant
colors worn. Maize is very becoming,
to persons with dark hair
and eyes. But whatever the color or
material of the entire dress, the details
are all in all the lace round the bosom
and sleeves, the flowers; in fact all that
furnishes the dress. The ornaments in
the head must harmonic with the
dress. If trimmed with black lace,
some of the same should be worn in
the head, and the flowers that are
worn in the hair should decorate the
dress.

itate him, the farmer attributed it to
special sensitiveness on his own part but
be did not mention, and perhaps. indeed,
did not know, the probable effect of expec-
tation in bringing about the result =
When Adams found out which hat COW
cred gold, which silver, and which di-
amond pin, we are lot informed whether
he was told beforehand that those were the
relative qualities of the three articles; nor
whether he looked out for any unintention-
al hints or clews from the bystanders. The
slightest exclamation, word or look of
special interest, might aid shrewd man
thus placed upon his metLle. When Ad-
ans experimental before Mr.. Marshall,
the experiment with the three hats failed
but-and mark the importance-the rod
turned strongly, although it did not make
the right guess at the right hat: a proof
that there was guessing in the matter, on
the part of the man if not on the part of
the rod. The Seebold experiment did not
profess to have any immediate relation to
the discovery Of underground veins of
metal or spring of water; and 80 far as It is
reliable at all, it seems to have some con-
nectiOn with Reiehenbach's Odd force,
which was much talked and written about
at that time.
All things considered, there seems fair
reason for believing that Chevreul has sue-
gested what will prove a clew, not only 10
the chief facts connected with the divfn-
ing rod, but also to some other phenome
ma which are ever now and then starting
up to perplex Us. That the affair is partly
mental and partly Muscular, mind acting
unconciOusly upon muscle through the
me1ium of nerve, seems to be the conelu-
sion most likely to lead to the truth
There has been another theory started to
the effect that, when a person is walking
forward, holding diVining-rod in the
usual way, there will be a mechanical ten
deney to close the prongs of the fork a
little, by the natural though unconefous
tendency to use the hands and arms; that
when he walks backwards. the tendency
will be to open them little; and that
this closing and opening viii lead to a
downward or an upward bending Of the
outer end OF the rod. Whether thisis q fact
or not, it leaves unexplained the alleged
bending Of the rod when the experimenter
IS standing over hidden veins and springs.
As to the discovery Of murders and rob
berries by the -divining rod, the tast would
be, not to tell the doWser beforehand that
such crime has been committed. but to
leave the rod to find out that fact; this
would be what Bacon would have called
an eEperiRse5stalm eslIeis. ..-....- e.

Pocket Money for Farmers
Boys.

The Germantown Telegraph says:
"How to raise pocket-money is hard
question for great many farmers sons
to solve. True, some may have but
little trouble to get it, providing their
parents are wealthy; but to this class l
shall not speak. To such boys as like
to earn what they spend, and have a
desire to become farmers, l will present
a plan by which both these ends may
be attained to more or less degree.
ain the first place it will be necessa-
ry to have q small piece of ground, on
the farm, of course; to those who can
not get that, my plan will not be feasi-
BILE. After having got your land you
are ready to commence operations. All
your spare moments may be employed
upon it. l suppose most boys would
know what to plant; but still few
hints from one who has tried it may
not be out of place. If you are near a
market, 1 would suggest early vegeta-
bles, such as peas, string-beans, beets,
early potatoes, etc.; and to those that
were distance from any such market,
popcorn might be raised to advantage,
or white bush-beans, as they always
command a good price if good article;
still great deal would depend on the
nature of the land, and what was most
in demand in either case. After plant
ing, do not think that your work is
done till harvesting; but keep the
ground mellow hoe your crops as often
as you can; do not let weed be seen,
for all that goes to nourish the weed
will be taken from your pocket. Ii will
take you but a few moments, a day, to
hoe it over, if you do not have too
much ground, which would be worse
than having none, for you will find
that a little ground well titled Is a
great deal better than a good deal left
to take care Of itself, or only half taken
care of.
"Another thing you will find to be of
great use to you as well as a pleasant
pastime, and that is to have blank |
book, and in part of which you should |
set down the time of planting, the kind |
of manures used, and which gave the |
best satisfaction; how your crops stood |
the drought or wet weather, as the case
might be-; and in fact anything which |
you might think would benefit you in |
a succeeding year. In another part Of
my book 1 would keep an account with
my land, charging it with the manure,
seed and labor, and giving it credit for
its produce. In this way you can see at
q glance what crops pay the best, and
what manure will produce the largest
crops. In keeping your book for few
years you will derive much pleasure in
looking back at your first beginning to
farm for yourself.
"If for the first year or two your
pocket money does not equal your ex-
pectation you must not be discouraged,
but remember that what does not 60
into your pocket goes into your head in
the shape of experience, which will be
of great use to you in future years.
Let those who can, try this; it will
cost them nothing if they are living on
farms, for all the work may be done at
moons, nights, and early in the morn
ing. 1t will not only be a source of
pleasure to them, but also of profit" (;
