Fashion Gossip for the Ladies.

All persons who have present or
prospective interest in weddings or
balls arc notified that white kid
gloves are no longer Imperative.
Pale shades of blue, rose, lavender,
straw and pe"rl color are preferred,
and three buttons take precedence
over four or more. Much time aud
attention are now devoted to the
ADoRNNiENf OF THE THROAT,
whose beauty has too long been ignor.
ed and neglected.. For many years
linen collars disfgured the softest and
roundest outline by their harsh pre-
cision and dead contrasts. The love-
lest throats became merely sailow,
ungainly cylinders. At last, aftor
many generations, good taste prevails
so far that some consideration is
sh own to throats. Where linen once
disigured beauties, lace and. tulIe
now impart grace and softness to tho
least progressing women. Fashion is
revelling in the invention of pretty
ornaments for this new feature of at.
traction. Velvet ruffs, lined with
white pink of blue silk, with inner
quillin e of tullc or Brussels net, are
seen everywhere. Neckties can bo
worn at tho base Of these, the ends
crossed or knotted in front, with a
locket in place of a breastpin.
THE LAST NEcKTlE
is a velvet ribbon an inch and half
wide, with ends embroidered in blue
or scarlet bees, and finished with fine
silk fringe. Others are of soft
armure silk, brocaded in white,
Seats of crcp dc CLINE, six iuches wide
are worn around the throat, until furs
become seasonablc. Plain necties
are basted in shallow pleats, sur
mounted by simple ruchc OF tulle
or wash blonde. Another style of
ruff or "round collar" is easily made.
Black silk or velvi: for the interior
is lined with silk of any color, run
together on The wrong side. The
strip Is graduated from three or four
inches in the middle to about one
and a half at the ends. Turned on
the right side, it is box-plcatcd in
double or treble plcats down the CEN
tire. The top and bottom of every
pleat are then tackled together, and
form a succession Of roses and hollow
shells, revealing the colorcd liuing
and the inner ruff of tulle, which
rests against the throat.
THE NILSSON CoLLARET
IL both sorvicablc and attractive.
A band of silk, edged on either
side with Valcnciennes, is cut to fit |
tho back Of tho neck and pass down
the front to the waist, strapped across
tho breast by two bows to hold in
place. Black lace scarfs around the
neck held by scarlet bows arc also
quite effective. Black velvet vests,
pipcd with silk and edged with lace,
preserve or renovate dresses, offering
tho raro combination Of style and
economy.
sAsHES
are of soft twilled silk a foot wide.
Ihey are worn, too, on tho loft side
of the back, passed througo the large
sash buckles, which arc now a full
dress necessity. A steel anchor for
this purpose, with belty tackle and
twelve buttons to match, can be
bought for nino dollars.

Guano Not the ExcrcmCnt OF Sea Birds.

The long received opinion that
guano is the deposit of myriads of sea
birds, accumulating through long
ages, is rendered untenable by the
recent Investigations Of DR.. Habel.
After treating the guano with an acid,
microfcopical and chemical examlna-
tion revealed that the insoluble resi-.
due was composed of fossil spongcs
and other marine animals and plants
precisely similar in constitution to
such as still uxist in those seas. The
taot that the anchors of ships in the
ne'ghborhood of the guano islands
often bring up guano from the botte M
OF the ocean, is quito in opposition
to the prevalent belief. DR.. Habel
therefore considers that tho deposits
or guaho must be the result of the
accumulation of fossil plnnts and
animals whose organic matter has
been transformed into nitroeenou,
substance, the mineral portion re-
naming intact.

The news from Havana of the
