Double capes are to be worn next sea
son, instead of rounded as formerly.
A celebrated writer says that one good
mother is worth hundred schoolmas-
ters.
The most popular Spring costumes are
Of foulard silks trimmed with velvet and
fringe.
A new style of ruffle for the neck is
very full and wide, and is called the
"Medici frill"
Large coral beads worn around the
neck are said to be preventive against
rheumatism, asthma, and the neuralgia.
Fichus of crepe chine, edged with wide
lace, are worn with dark silk dinner
dresses, and are very stylish and becom-
ing.
Imitation lace is more used for trim
ming this season than the rest, rs it is
much more durable and not half SO ex-
pensive.
A new style of material for mourning
dresses for Summer wear is called batiste,
and is a light tan color, striped with
white or colored satin stripes.
The newest style of wells are of plain
net, made square in front, and pointed at
the back, the point being thrown over

ish lace.

4 Life of Romance,

! Some aged inhabitants of the city ot
/ Munich. Germany. still remember wo
man who used to be called die Beterin
| to pass the whole of every day in silent.
motionless prayer before the Virgin S
image No rain, or stClm, or cold, or
entreaties could drag her away when
spoken to she only wept and said, My
child, my child !" King Ludwig [. took
an interest in this woman. AMI her story
was found to be that in early life she had
been peasant in the neighbOrhood,
who had a lover, but they were too poor
to marry One night the Virgin ap-
peared to her in dream, and neighbor
found in the circumstance some hint as
to number in lottery. The girl pur-
chased tins number and drew thousand
horins. But then her lover was drafted
for the war, and she had to pay four
hundred fiorins to get him off. The
other six hundred were taken by her ia
thers creditors. Some years after she
found at the foot of Virgin, when pray
ing, eighteen hundred gulden. The
young people then married, but two or
three days after the husband was taken
away for another war. In his absence
she bore son. Once again the hus-
band returned, but only to be immedi-
ately recalled to fight against Russia.
Going to see him off with her child.
poor Adelaide was knocked down by a
carriage, and her foot ushed. Worse
than all, her child was lost. She never
saw her husband or child again, though
she heard of her child as having got into
soldiers wagon, and being adopted by
an officer going to Russia. The poor
woman actually wandered to Russia
whence she came back broken hearted
10 pass her days before the image of the
Virgin, who had twice given her gold
but could not restore her child. Through
the sympathy of the king. her last days
were made as comfortable as possible.
She died in 1884 in hospital.

The Inland Sea.

In the Great West, there is no more
interesting and facinating locality than
that Of Salt Lake, in Utah.
At the first glance il seems so strange
to find n sen, whose waters are even
more salt than the waters Of the Atlantic
or Pacific, away up there, at an elevation
OF nearly five Thousand feet and eight
! hundred miles from the nearest sea coast
proper. But, when we know its history
which we now only suspect-it may
not seem unnatural, though still wonder
ful.
There is every indication that Salt
Lake is n mere remnant of what was
once mighty seal
1t appears-to he gradually drying up.
We will not see the process completed
in our day, however, as it is n consider
able body of water, having length of
one hundred and twenty miles, and an
average breadth of about forty miles.
At some points its depth is very great.
/ have ST ted that Salt Lake contains
gre iter proportion of salt than the two
great oceans, which is an evidence that
evaporation has been one agent in re-
ducing "A great ocean to the more modest
dimensions Of lake. Evaporation,
eruptions and drainage have accomplish
ed the vast work This amounts to
little more than speculation. at present,
but, in time, science will prove it as
clearly as the boundaries Of seas and
continents are marked as they exist
to-day.
Salt Lake bears all the marks of body
of water that is shrinking and drying up.
IL has great, smooth margin, mt some
points many miles in width, that is one
vast plain of alkili, white as snow, and
baked and cracked like the muddy bot
tom o, a pond that has been licked dry
by the burning sun during a summer
drought
Around Salt Lake, where the land
rises a little higher, is one of the most
fertile regions on the continent. 1t is a
perfect oasis, indeed; for on the west
stretch out barren plains hundreds of
miles, and on the east loom up rugged
mountains, capped with snow, and so
rocky as to offer but poor encourage
ment to tree or bush. But the level
lands, between the mountains and the |
lakes margin, are the paradise of the
.sbandman, and Salt Lake City is the
nucleus of a perfect garden spot. The
soil is wealth itself, and its vegetation
fairly rivals that of the tropics in its
richness and luxurance.
Whatever may be its political destiny.
the Salt Lake region has bright future
before it as farming country; and
with its beauty, its wild surroundings,
its facinating history, it is one of
Heavens richest gifts to man.

Col. Fisk and the Erie.

A New York paper gives us the follow
incident. 1t may be true, aud it may
not; II is not generally known that Fisk
was not the vice president Of the Erie
road at the time of his death. Hearing
of the combination Of English stock
holders against him, Gould saw the ne
cessity Of making n desperate attempt
TO put his house in order and Fisk was
to be the scapegoat. Accordingly he
sent third party to sound Fisk about
Offering his resignation as vice-presi-
dent. Fisk replied The only man
who can speak to me about such mat
ter is Jay Gould; hut let him come him
self to me like man" After this rebuff
Gould delayed for few days, and finally
rs "A last resort determined to make n
direct proposition to Fisk 1t is well
known that their rooms at the Grand
Opera House adjoined each other. A few
days after his first attempt Gould enter
ed Fisk's room in a nervous manner,
tearing up pieces Of paper, as he is ne
,ustomed to do when he Is violently
agltated, and approaching Fisk desk,
sald in stammeriug manner, Fisk, |
have got to say the most painful thing |
ever had to say in my life" Here he
paused for a moment, as If uncertain
how to make his proposition. At this,
Fisk looked up and said in his hearty
way, We'll, Gould, go on, you know
I've got no feeling" To this, Could
still stammering, replied, "Well, Fisk,
