STEEL ORNAMENTs.-The fashionable cut
steel and diamond-steel ornaments are very
handsome, and also expensive, a single orna-
ment sometimes costing six dollars at the
wholesale houses. The steel aigrette for the
front will perhaps be the most fashionable
ornaments of bonnets for young ladies'. A
yery slight beading ofcut steel is in excellent
taste around the brim of black and other da. k
velvet hats. The new jet orn an cuts are ex-
quisitely fine. They are made of tiniest
beads sewed on black jet, in patterns OF leaf
and flower, or blocks or Greek squares.
There are Jet coronets, either very massive
looking, or else as light as lace, jet plumes,
wings, aigrettes. bands of jet passemanter
all beads like embroidery, and beautiful da-
dems with dropping frinles. Simple hoops,
merely large rings of jet or of cut steel, are
used amiust loops of silk or ribbon. Slides
of jet and steel mingled are shown in square
and oval shapes, and tuere are horse shoes Of
jet with cut steel nail heads in them.

FTNHE invention of the WROUGHT IRON FUR
Il MACE, was the result of thorough and pains
taking investigation by DIR. JAMES r. NICHOLS, Ed
0r of the Boston journal of Chemistry, into the OBJ
ections or defects in nearly all the Hot Air Furnaces
now in use. During The asst three years Five Hun
dred have been sold. They have proved competent
to supply delightful, pure current of rm air to
Churches, Stores School Houses and Dwellings, ana
in every place where used they have been a perfect
success and given entire satisfaction.
The great distinguishing features of this Furnace,
are its Simplicity os Construction the perfect sa e.
guards against the passage of Dust and deleterlous
coal gases into the rooms warmed by it. The heat
radiating surfaces made of B ier Iron, rivited
together in the same manner as Srea oilers, an
not particle OF gas or dust can p through. The
original OF this Furnace constructed three years
ago by DR.. Mic ols for private use, as safeguard
against those infractions of the laws of health to
which be himself s well as others were subjected by
the use cf Hot Air Flu naces. DR. Nichols says with
three years use OF my Furnace am satisfied that no
deleterious gases or dust can flow into the rooms
from it.
In the NICHOLS WROUGHT IRON FURNA e,
we have coal burning device much cheaper than
any Steam Apparatus. less troublesome, one which
supplies air pure and healthful as that rom
Steam or hot water. 1t does away with all the seri-
obje tioy,s which have existed against Hot Air

Why Chubb MOurned.

When Chubb's wife died we called
III to mourn with him, and, if possible,
to console him in his affection. The
old man sat in his rocking chair with
his eyes closed, chewing a toothpick,
and rocking himself to and fro as he
apparently unused over the years that
had sped SO happily in company with
his partner. We gently approached
the subject of Mrs. Chubb's departure.
We assured him that we sympathized
with him in his deep affection, and the
more sincerely because we we'll knew
the estimable qualities of his wife, and
were familiar with The virtues with
which she adorned her home. "She
was, indeed" we said, "an excellent
woman; remarkable woman wo-
man of sterling and unaffected piety.''
Chubb stopped rocking and looked at
us mournfally ; Unaffected piety 81
he exclaimed unaffected piety
That's just it. That's just what's the
matter. tell you, Adeler," he said,
bringing his hand down emphatica]ly
on the arm of the chair, "the way that
there woman would roast sugar.cured
ham would bring tears to the eyes of a
craven image" Then we went out and
left him alone with his sorrow. There
are some kinds of grief that are too sa.
cred to be lightly intruded upon. -Maa

TrOtting Action.

A great many stations trot too vide,
that is, they have too open gait
Such an action is faulty T.; and the rea-
son is this: It is necessary, as all
admit, that in speeding, the action of
the hlnd-legs should be wide enough
to allow the feet to pass outside OF the
forward.legs. This is indispensable.
But it should be borne in mind that
every inch Of lateral action requires
exertlon, costs effort, and exhausts
strength; and that the horse should be
gated, therefore, SO as to "open up !"
no wider than is necessary, in order
to get safely by his forelegs for every
inch OF side action beyond this is I'M
necessary, and a source of exhaustion,
when every ounce of strength is needed
to bring him home in time. What we
want is motion IN straight line, or as
near straight line as the circum-
stances OF the case will permit and

Alleged New Potato Disease.

4 new potato disease is described as
having made its appearance near Jena,
differing from the one commonly known
in it's directly attacking the tubers and
not the leaves. The tuber becomes
covered with q purplish felt, which is
mycellum of a fungus. The skin of the
potato is sometimes apparently not
penetrated by the mycelium, the con-
trary being the fact IN other cases. In
the latter event, the tuber becomes
completely destroyed by cancerous
disease. The fungus belongs to the
genus Seleroticu'n, and, according to
Prof. Holliss, the remedy will proba-
bly, be the same as in the ordinary po-
tato disease namely, the selecting of
early kinds, using only mineral and no
animal or vegetable manures, and with
careful selection of the best adapted
soil. The Rev. NJ J. Berkeley, the en-
inent fungologist, however, has lately
announced that this is the well-known
cooper Web" which some years is
very destructlv to asparagus, mint and
other crops, and has been known, to
some extent, to attack the potato. It
is figured in Tulasne's "Fungi Hy-
pog@i," under the name OF Rhizoc-
tOnla.

A Pet Goat.

Everybody knows what family pet is.
If he has not one himself. his neighbor
has; and that is often just as bad.
These dear creatures are continually
proving themselves such in a sense
other than affectionately. AS an illus
tration of this, we have heard Of fond
father who purchased goat in the
city for mis- boy, and paid three dollars
for it. He gave three dollars more to
get it into the country for the summer,
and then, not caring to take it back,
boarded it out at a farmers for the
winter. The next summer he found
the goat awaiting him, and bill OF
fifteen dollars also, showing that the
hardy animal had only cost six times
as much to keep in the year as it had
cost to buy. This creature lasted for
six or eight years, and was constant
source of comfort and expense-partic-
ularly the latter.
