FASHION NOTES FOR THE LADIEs.-We clip
the following from our exchanges
Several strands of seed pearls are considered
very stylish for necklace.
Necklaces still the rage. The newest style
is called the dog collar - it is very broad and
composed of heavy gold links.
Bonnets trimmed in two colors, with single
bright contrasting tint in flowers or feathers, are
especially the combination of the seasons nov
elites.
The hair is worn lower than ever in the back,
braided in wide strands and looped on the top
OF the head, while it is held by bow and ends
of ribbon.
Hoops, If worn at ali, are very small, with an
extensive hustle attachment Many dispense
entirely with the wire cage, and wear the MANNER
hustle of hair cloth or Wire
Black and white lace combined and orno-
mented with bright flowers, make lovely hon
net to be worn en- suite with costume of black
gross grain, or of cashmere, trimmed with black
and white lace.
Oversklrts, we are told, will now have but a
short reign, although they are pretty and uni
gersally liked. Instead of the overskirt. the
shirt is TO be ruffled to the waist and worn with
a stylish basque.
Hair striped silks, in various shades and col
ors, make up very stylish. Most of them are
trimmed with feathered ruchings of the materi
al, or with ruchings Of plain silk matching the
dark stripe Of the costume.
White chip bonnets and hats have been intro
duced IN great numbers this season, and will be
preferred to other straws They are handsome,
trimmed with any color. Black velvet and lace
will be extensively used on these hats, which can
be worn with any suit.

Special Notices.

This excellent Family medicine has been be-
fore the public over thirty gears, and probably
has wider and better reputation than any other
proprietary medicine of the present day. 1t is
sufficient evidence of its virtues as standard
medicine, to know that its sale is constantly on
the increase. No curative agent has had such
wide spread sale, or given such universal salts

perfectly safe, even in unskillful hands.
Taken internally, it cures Dysentry, Cholera,

thae remedial agents should be at hand to be

Such remedial agent exists in PERRY DAVIS
Pain Killer" the fame OF which has extended
over all the earth. Amid the eternal ices of the
polar regions. or beneath the intolerable and
burning suns of the tropics, its virtues are known
and appreciated. And by it suffering humanity
has found relief from many of its ills. The eff
fect OF the Pain Killer upon the patient, when
taken internally IN cases of Cough, Cold, Bowel
Complaints, Cholera Dysentery, and other af
fectlons OF the system has been truly wonderful,
and has won for it name among medical pre-
paratlons that can never be forgotten. Its sue
cess IN removing pan as an external remedy,
IN cases OF Burns, Bruises, Sores and Spralns,

KILLING GRUBs. Occasionally, sections of
sodded ground become so infested with grubs as
to render them worthless for the production of
hay. These pests work at the base of the sod
eating off the roots entirely as to enable one
to uncover large sections of ground by simply
pulling the grass with the hand.
Flowing land which is in such conditions for
the purpose of immediate cropping, is not a very
promising labor, unless measures are taken at
the time of seeding for starving out the worms
A liberal application of salt sown broadcast, at
the rate of about half bushel to the acre, just
after blowing, has been known to do the bust
ness for the grubs, while benef ting the soil at
the same time. If the sowing is accompanied by
rain, or Immediately followed by it, the effect
will besall the more decisive.

tai powers. He exhibited at very early age a
fondness for books which disposition continually
increased. We rarely come in contact with a
youth of his years so manly in his department,
reading and study, and, naturally, so brilliant
and promising.
About the time he entered his 18th year he
also entered the service of Christ, joined the
United Brethren Church and was forming a re-
ligious character so that his friends, and those
who knew him had every reason to expect that
his maturer years would prove blessing to the
church and mankind. But when death came
it found him resigned and willing to die. His
mind was clear, devotional and satisfactory to
the last The last prayer he was heard to utter
was: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit"
