Summer Hats and Ronnets.

Travelling has taken the place of cere
monious visiting, therefore, very few
dress bOnnets are to be seen; some ladies
venturing a hat in the country, even for
church wear.
The high, English-crowned hats, with
narrow, rolled brims, are the most stylish
for travelmgs because they look well with
a simple trimming Of ribbons or velvet,
which is all that a travelling hat ought to
have. The "Rough and Ready" it a very
good style for children, and serves an eX-
cellent purpose for gardening or rowing ;
but it is too eccentric for ladies' travelling
wear The Trough and Ready" bv the
way, is the same hat which in France is
called the Cloche, in England, the Chi
nese hat, and here the Coolie. 1t costs
seventy-five cents untrimmed, and about
two dollars and fifty cents lined and
trimmed.
Broad-brimmed hats for ladies coun-
try-wear are, also, sometimes used in tray
cling, especially for short trips and for
excursions. They are of straw or Leg
horn, and are ornamented with blue or
light-gray tissue veil, or more elaborate
" trimmed with lace velvet and feathers.
Very pretty church hats for young ladies
IN the country are made of crepe or lace.
ornamented with Il wreath of tinted
leaves.
Black lace bOnnets are almost obsolete:
but few, Of plain black tulle, trimmed
with lace, have appeared and look quaint
and very pretty with ornements of fine
JET, or bunch OF yellow buJtercups with
hanging meadow-grass 1t should be re-

"A Radical Forgery.

The papers of the Office-holders party
are publishing the following declaration
as having been made during the war, by
Mr.. Greeley:
When the rebellieus Traitors are over
whelmed in the Field. and scattered like
leaves before an angry wind, it must not
be to return to Peaceful and Contented
Homes. They must find poverty at their
firesidesl and pIvation in the anxious

state that the present promises to be the
most abundant season known in the State

better.
Similar reports are made from the en-

were never better. This fact which
promises cheap food, is encouraging to

drawing their supplies from that section.

likely to be swelled by accessions from all

making entries at the State Fair has excl
ted considerable comment, but we are
inclined to the belief that our home indus

grounds. There are yet two days in which
entries may be made before the opening.
The inclement weather of the past few
days has retarded preparations somewhat
and delayed entries.
A military company from Washington,
another from Norfolk and perhaps company
A, of Petersburg, will visit Richmond dur
ing the Fair. These, with the First Regi-
ment, will form an interesting feature of
the display. Persons having stock or arti
cles which they intend to exhibit at the
State Fair, should have them on the grounds
at the very latest by Monday, in order that
they may be properly arranged in the de-
partments to which they will be assigned.
Mr.. Theodore Pace, the assistant secretary,
will be present on the grounds on Saturday
and Monday, and will attend to entries.

Plant Orchards.

The Hon. j. Sterling Morton in Report
to the Nebraska State Horticultural Society
relative to fruit-growing in the State, con-
cludes as follows:
''There is beauty in well-ordered or.
chard, which is "a joy forever" 1t is a
blessing to him who plants it, and it per-
pctuates his name and memory, keeping it
fresh as the fruit bears long after he has
ceased to live. There is a comfort in a
good orchard, in that it makes the new
home mere like the "old home in the
East" and with its thrifty growth and
large lucious fruits, sows contentment in
the mind of family, as the clouds scatter
the rain.
Orchards are missionaries of culture and
refinement. They make the people among
whom they grow better and more thoughts
full people. If every farmer in Nebraska
will plant out and cultivate an orchard and
a flower garden, together with few forest
trees, they will become mentally and mo-
rally the best agricultural State, the grand
est community of producers in the Ameri-
can Union. Children reared among trees
and flowers growing up with them will be
better, in mind and in heart, than children
reared among hogs and cattle. The occu-
pations and surroundings of boys and girls
make them, to great extent, either bad
and coarse, or good and gentle.
III had the power would compel
every man in the State, who has home of
his own, to plant out and cultivate fruit
trees E.r

Heating SIck.Rooms.

Where the entire dwelling is heated by a
furnace or by steam, it will probably be
unnecessary to have other means of warm
ing the sick-room but the fireplace should
be dtDays open, and kept ready for a wood
or coal fire whenever the patient shall
express desire for one. The fre-places
are excellent ventilating fues even without
fire, but are nearly perfect when supplied
with wood fire, the brisk blaze of which
creates strong ascending current, and con-
tinually carries off the ever.accumulating
exhalations of the sick-room.
If there is no fireplace, window OPEN
ed short distance from the bottom, in the
room in which the patient is lying, and one
let down from the top in the other large
room, with the doors opened between the
two, will form an ef1ectual draught during
will not be too strong for the most delicate
patient who is protected from the direct
draught by the high head-board of the bed.
In cold weather the window opened from
the bottom will often be found sufficient.
On very cold days we may trust to an en-
tire change Of air several times each day,
effected by raising all the windows for few
moments at time, during which the pa
tient must be thoroughly protected by ex-
ira blankets, and shawl about the head.
If stoves are the only means of heating
the apartment, o perpetual burner"
(coaD may be used in one room to keep
both at an even temperature during day
and night, but the sleeping-room should
be provided with wood stove; the brisk
blaze in this answering to some extent the
purpose of fire in an open Fireplace.
Many lives have been cut short by exag-
gerated notions in regard to fresh air. Air
must be pure, but it should also be wa,m.
To effect this there should be, day and:night
a steady but gentle heat in the room of an
invalid, accompanied by an equally steady
and gentle current of fresh air.--Home and
Society, in Scribner's for November.

Lost in the Crater Of vesuviuS.

The Rerista, of Naples, contains the
following account of the loss of two gen.
tlemen in the crater of Vesuvius, who with
great temeIity, insisted on being lowered
to dark cavern Immediately below the
orifice of the crater.
"a party formed to ascend Mount We
suvius, Friday afternoon, consisting of
two Americans, three Englishmen, and
one Frenchman. The tourists began the
ascent, over hillocks and boulders Of lava,
until the vicinity of the crater was reached,
when Messrs. James Wilcox and Fran
co.'s Lemeur, an American and French
man, insisted on being lowered down to a
cavern which is formed below the mouth
of the volcano. The guides, who pro-
vided themselves with ropes for the pur-
pose, complied with the request of the
foreigners, and lowered them down the
mountain. Being perfectly quiet, no dam
ger was anticipated, but when one Of the
party above the crater called out to each of
the adventurers, no answer was returned.
The guides growing anxious, cried: Sen
tlemen, it would be better for you to
hold on to the ends of the ropes
Still the ropes remained slack,
and no answer came from the murky
cavern below. Twenty minutes elapsed
and the adventurers were yet silent. 1t
was then proposed that one of the guides
should be lowered and hold on to the ropes
until he had investigated the appearance
of the cavern base. ~
"He had hardly entered when he cried
out loudly, Up, up; there's nothing here
but very narrow rock AS far as any
living person can tell, the unfortunate
strangers were hurled into the abyss of
Mount Vesuvius." t-,4s
