J II II with much hesitation that We un.
dertake comment on 20 delicate subject,
well knowing that Clarenoe's adventure
with the Watcher on the Threshold waj
mere bagatells to the dangers Of the rash
invader Of femanine strongholds. Spring
approaches, however; the subject mustibe
treated, and professional duty leaves. no
room fer neutrality-suspicious..
Fashiopably speaking, the spriug is a
'Iloud one"--not 30 loud as Dolly Warden,
with her roses, and sunhowers, andoab-
bage, was inclined to make It last year
but there is an evid ent intention OF as
close repetition as possible without pro-
ducing sanguinary revolution Of tthe
males. Wives aud sweethearts will no
longer, indeed, be mistaken for hanging
vegetable gardens, but will, on the CON
trary. present startling licensees to re-
bras, lsopards, quaggas, hyenas and that
striped aud spotted ilk. Adams garden
is no longer the model for limitation it
10 now the menagerie. The more mod
crate will perhaps content themselves
with the plumagc of the birds
various shades Of the sky--blue she on or
scarlet and rose and the rich violet but
tho bon ton will glow rcsplendent in posi-
tive colors, lit up with big white dots, like
prize fighters neck tie, and staring
stripes in black and gray, and dazzling
white brochc figares on all sorts Of stuff,
and diamonds whose checker.braid sur
face resembles the pantaloons Of Biles, the
lawyer. 1t is not the plaids of Scotland
we are expected to admire; these customs
are endeared to u.s. but bright colors COW
cred with broad stripes deep blue and
indigo percales, with snow balls scatterc d
over it, navy blue rolonaises with polka
dots, indigo and saffron calicoes and choc-
olate foulards, with dice patterns in white
We shall be beaten with many stripes, and
spotted into vertigo.
All this the spring displays indicate,
and 1t is unnecessary thereafter TO inquire
as to the cut Of garment or the length Of
skirt. The mind refuses to contemplate
such tribes when burdened with these
enormiiies of color. Something called the
Gabriel is to be very popular, indicative,
doubtless, Of the judgement which is to
follow. safer us the deluge' is certain
ly very appropriate sentiment for the
occasion.
AS to the person proper we we have lit
tic to communicate, as the authorities
have not determined upon the summer
campaign. Blonde hair however, will
cease to be fashionable, and stained COM
pleSions are likely to reurn-the norid
brunette being the accepted type of beau
ty. A rosy blonde, with slight applica-
ton Of walnut wash, turns intoa most
lovely brunette of this type. The mouth
will be worn little open, and the eyes
partly closed, after the manner Of the
houris. We regret to notice that the
dromedary bend will DO entirely discou-
tinued, but the kangaroo droop of the
hands will DO more fashionable than ever
as IN excellent keeping with the menage.

Measuring the Height Of Trees.


In the last .Imertcun IgricuNur.
ist is an illustrated article describ.
ing the mode Of ascertaining the
height of trees. The mode, although
quite simple, is not always OH hand
when most wanted, and requires
some nicely of management; and
the extreme height of trees is less
frequently desired to be found by
farmers who wish to cut stick OF
timber to some desired length from
the timber woods. \ more simple
method, and one that can be put in
practice at any time and place, when
one has only measuring rod, and
has the experience Of the writer, is
as follows: a stick of timber is de,
sired, say fifty feet long; select your
tree, measure fifty feet in direct
line from the foot Of the tree on as
near level ground as possible; now
cut stick the exact height of the
observer and stick it in the ground
exactly perpendicular; now let the
observer lie flat on his back, his feet
against the stick, and head in line
Of tree and stick, and look directly
over the top of the stick, and where
the line of vision strikes the tree
will be the length of the stick, fifty
feet, desired. 1T the ground is not
level the measure will not be exact,
but allowance must be made,

Thick and IN Ii SesdAny.

The theory of thin seeding pre-
supposes the best condition of soil,
as regards richness, through pulver-
ization. freedom from weeds, &c
The terms chin seeding" and "gen'
erous seeding" are relative in their
application. Mr.. William Newton,
of Henrietta, N. Y, states that, to
test the effect of thin seeding of oats,
one portion of u field was sown at
the rate of two bushels per acre, the
remainder of the field receiving a
larger amount. On the first men
toned portion the crop was two or
three days later than on the other
part of the field, and showed signs
of rust. He assumes that oats thin
ly sown are much more liable to
rust, ripcn later, and give straw
ofinferior quality. The largest crops
he has ever seen were raised from a
sowing Of 81 bushels per acre.
