Fashion Chit.Chat.

The English or Dolmon cloak will be
much worn.
Rough overcoats will be much worn,
and will be made rather long.
In cassimeres, subducd plaids and
stripes are the prevailing pattern.
Feathers and fruit will be extensively
used, almost entirely superseding
flowers.
Hats will be worn larger than hereto
fore, giving room for more elaborate
trimming.
In colored silks, dark cloth shades
are tho lateat stytos, and black silks will
also be largely worn.
The popularity Of the Normandy car
for babes has almost ruled out til,
quaint little French cap.
Rufllings Ia Queen Elizabeth, of all
varieties, but principally large, is Il
predominant mode of 'neckwear.
The most elegant of iall suits will be
a lizard-green and black-striped linen
polonaise the stripe being of satin.
Cashmere and camel's-hair cloth will
be much sought after, and the rougher
the surface the more desirable will be
the goods.
The Scotch snood is being again in
trouuced. Brunettes should choose
pink, and blondes, blue or Nile-green
or narrow black-velvet.
A novelty in polonaises is promised
from France. twill be double breasted,
and made of dark blue linen, with
lan,nn -rnlpraI narl h,,ttAnc
In ribbons, the latest colors are
prune, ours, sorosis, Waterloo, Niagara,
Atlantic, serpent, lizard, vert mousse,
marine, myrtle, Ardoise and bronze.
Ladies' dresses will be of quiet style,
long redingotes with large buttons and
pockets, with moderate trimmings, will
be the most fashionable street dress.
A pretty hat, and likely to be much
in vogue, is dark straw turned up at
the side, with peaked crown, and
trimmed at the side with q rooster
pompon.
For evening gatherings, brunettes
will appear the prettiest in all shades
of yellow, red or crimson; ruddy
blondes, in blue and light green pale
ones in blue.
Neckties are rather subdued the
latest style is the wearing of narrow
ribbon corresponding in color to the
dress, tied into a small bow, and the
ends falling below the waist.
Oxidized iewelry is the rage, taking
precedence of any other kind, and sets
of this material are worn extensively,
including large buckles, canteens and
urns for suspension from the waist.
A nice covering for chilnren in the
winter is a hood, which conceals the
entire head, with ends attached, which
falls gracefully over the shoulders, af-
ter the manner of a Russian baslich.
A nice Marie Antoinette cap, with
long streamers, which cross the breast,
and are tied around the waist, the ends
falling down the back, is handsome
appendage, and likely to be much worn.
A pretty style in sash ribbons is no.
ticeable, that of combination of Ro-
man colors and water edge, or Roman
edge and velvet centre. These combi-
nations are imported in various widths
for sashes, belts and Eair-ribbons.

The spirit of malicious mischief
which has given no respite to the
tortured spirit of George Russ, Of
Jonesville, found an aperture for whole
sale exit in the numerously attended
party at the Harris Works, says local
paper. After long and patient watch
ing, his eXpectant vision took III the
grand opportunity to relieve himself at
one fell swoop of the overburdened
desire to inhict his mischievous in
genuity upon his fellow creatures and
achieve that sudden distinction which
comes to those who enter with the true
spirit of energy upon the consummation
Of well-laid plans. George purchased
quarter of pound of cayenne pepper
and placed it safely in his outside
pocket. That night he attended the
party. He had no invitation, but
George stands not upon the conven-
tionalities of that society which refuses
him recognition. He had business
there and he Went. Cautiously he
entered the crowded room, threading
his way here and there, meandering to
the right, to the left, forwards, back
wards, and rs he progressed in his
travels the quarter of n pound of
cayenne pepper which he had bought
i'll the afternoon, spread itself IN ser
pentine shapes upon the floor of the
room. Then George withdrew to
retired corner and enjoyed the sneezing
and excited remarks of his two thou
sand victims. He went home happy
that night, and doubtless would have
been so still had not Marshal Crotzen-
berg pulled him from under the side
walk on North Main street the next
morning and taken him to Jail. He
was brought into the presence of
Justice Smith to answer to criminal
charge, and the upshot of the affair is
that he was sentenced to forty days in
Jail and fine of Sl4.9O,

The Uprising Against Early Rising.

Early rising has been very rudely
and successfully shaken. Charles Lamb
has shown that there is as much ex-
cess in rising with the lark and lying
down with the lamb as in the practice
referred to in Moore's song, which rec
ommends lengthening of our days by
taking "a few hours from night, my
dear p That philosophy was shaken
in the early days of the world by two
sleepy children who came under the re.
buke of vigilant fathers. "My sonl"
remarked one sire, 81 found piece OF
gold by rising early !" "Aye r re-
ioined young hopeful, "but the man
Who lost it was up before you" my
son." said the other worthy parent,

catches the worm p 81 do, oh my
father" replied the excellent boy;
"also. that the worm was caught by
getting up earlier than the bird.

THAT PAINT WOULDN'T DRY.

g An old lady who lives little distance
from the small village of Quechee, Vt,
writes friend, went to the store in that
place for pot of paint, with which she
designed ornamenting her kitchen HOOP
She told the clerk who went down STAIRS
to prepare the decoction, to put in plenty
Of driving material, and he honestly in
tended to do so, but missing some poma-
tum from one side Of his mustach. the loss
so annoyed him that he omitted paying
that attention to the order which II re-
quired, and instead of turpentine poured
in generous quantity Of syrup. That
evening the old lady painted the floor. and
the next morning made an examination
of it to test its condition. When she
opened the door, her cat, which was fol-
lowing playfully, jumped into the room,
and then stopped. The old lady imme-
diately shooed the animal, but 1t didn't
shoe 1t pulled away and tore one foot
from the floor, and set it down again to
pull up another which necessitated pulling
up the frs. one again.
Then it tried the experiment over again,
but with the same result. Finally it lifted
one foot and kept it up until the other was
lifted. This gave the animal the appear
IUct Oh LfyluS 10 Stsiuu vi Ito hlau, but 'e'
plaintive cries indicated that such was not
its purpose. While thus raised it attempted
to lift the third foot, but in so doing fell
over, and came down on its side in the
paint, and there it stuck, clawing the air
with its paws, and splitting forth the most
venomous sounds. The old lady got
board, and laying it to the cat succeeded
with some difficulty in rescuing it, Bat
she could not understand why that paint
should be so moist. In the afternoon she
tried the floor again with her finger, but
the paint was still sticky. The next morn
ing it was the same, and also in the after
noon. The third morning there was no
improvement, nor any in the afternoon.
She was astonished. When she touched
her finger to the paint this time she trans
ferred HE finger to her tongue, then
opened her eyes a little wider and tasted
again. After that she put GA her things,
harnessed the horse, and started for that
store. Aud that evening the clerk shaved
off his in,,stache, and buried his pomatum
in the solitude OF the forest.
