Something Pretty from the Forests.

There are many who, as they walk or
drive through the woods in autumn
and winter, habitually look around for
whatever is beautiful or curious, and
make collections of the lovely mosses
and llchens, acorns and leaves, crooked
sticks and knotty twigs, until there
seems no end to the increase of these
treasures. But having made the col.
lection, the next thing is how to arrange
the same effectively, 80 as to produce
some new and pleasing combination.
The old cone work, that was in favor
years ago. has become obsolete, and
although still beautiful, is out of favor
because it catches the dust, and will
not bear the free use of the dust brush.
so we are glad Of finding other ways of
turning our beauties to account. One
of the newest and most beautiful of
these rustic designs is made by arranp-
ing bunch of acorns in their natural
groups, with the large dried russell
colored leaves of the oak around them,
on a ground of bright blue or scarlet
velvet or paper. The addition of some
dried grape tendrils and messy ,twigs
winimprove the general effect, and the
nuts must be secured in place by means
OF little glue holding them in their
cups.
Another way is to take the nuts with
out the cups, and introduce fine wires
as stems into the large ends, then group
them to represent q cluster of grapes,
with leaves overhanging and twig
like the stem of the bunch fastened in
the proper place. AS border to this,
the lichens, with few autumn leaves
with bright, tint, viii answer, or a
wreath Of twigs and briers alone will
be very tasteful, To render such a
group still more permanent, the leaves
may be made of leather-work, either
oak or grape leaves, letting them re-
main in their natural colors, without
varnish or satin,

Starving In Nebraska,

It is q strange and pathetic story of
destitution and suffering which comes
to us from Nebraska, where whole com.
munities isolated from the rest of the
world are brought face to face with
starvation. The CRY of want has for
many months been painfully familiar 20
the ears Of people in the thickly settled
States OF the East, but the people who
raised 1t have always been easily within
the reach of the relief which, when
known to be needed, has always been
Literally supplied. The people of Ne
brassa, whose crops have been swept
clean by plague Of grasshoppers as
destructive as the one inflicted upon the
Egyptians of old, are, by reason of
their isolation, almost beyond the reach
OF relief and the advent of the win
ter,s snow, If it finds them unsupplied.
will hopelessly shut them in with their
fate. It is = terrible thing to think
that In this land of plenty and in q wear
OF more than usually bountiful har-
vests, hundreds of people are in immi-
nent danger Of dying outright from
starvation. The relief which shall save
them from starvation must be speedily
rendered, and it is greatly to the credit
OF General Ord, commanding the de-
partment in which the destiEution az
lists, that he has done everything in his
power to hasten the rendering Of relief.

Investment with Positive Return,

The Prevention Cure.

able. Mans ignorance and criminal
neglect lie at theroot of scourees which
were once believed to be the SIGN of
Divine wrath. Now then, let the doc
tors tell us just what to do, and then
let the laws and the courts enforce il.
The disregard of sanitary regulations
should be punished as surely as theft
or murder, for it robs the communitv
of'health and Stays its members. IL the
doctors tell us truly, there is no reason
why man should not reach four-score
years in perfect health, and even pass

The Centennial Buildings.

The structures which are now rising

oipal buildings-for there will be an in

OF hoor space. These are the main or
industrial hall, the art gallery, the ma
chinery, the agricultural, and the her-

hall, which is in the form of a parallelo-
gram, no less than $50 feet long iby
664 feet in width. But, in addition 10

EXPENDITURES.
Cut or from State Aid.

Section 10 of the amendment to the
Constitution of New York, says the
Evening Post, seems to cut off all State
aid from the orphan asylums, homes of
the friendless, and similar charitable
institutions throughout the interior of
the State. These institutions, to the
number OF one hundred and six. re-
ceived in 1871, when this amendment
was proposed, $474, 800 from the Legis-
iature. 1t in like manner forbids the
appropriations to hospitals, which
amounted in that year to $179. 1876: as
well as to dispensaries, which in 1871
received $S3, 765 from the State. The
State is, moreover, thus forbidden in
its organic law from providing for its
insane or idiots or drunkards in insti-
tut1ons under private management. In
1871 the State institutions for these OBJ
jects of charity, including the inebriate
asylum, received about $745, 900 from
the State treasury. Their total ex-
penditures during that year were about
$934, 900. The amendment leaves the
asylums for the deaf and dumb and the
blind, and the houses of refuge, and
probably all the reformatories, as they
were before its passage. These can
still be assisted by appropriations.
The eleventh section cuts off all town
or city appropriations to church schools,
or to such asylums or charities as are
not distinctly for the poor, or whose
appropriations have not been authorized
by Law. The State cannot aid any
charitable institution for assisting the
poor while the county or city can. If
such aid is authorized by the Legisla-

Fashions in Furs.

The cost of plain jacket of Alaska
sealskin is now from $l25 to 5000, while
the same of Shetland seal costs from
$500 to 1915. Trimmings of "pup"
otter increase the expense by 800. It
is said that only about twenty five of
these pup" offers are killed i'm the
course Of a year, and their exquisite
fur is therefore extremely valuable.
Ihescost of single small skin is no
less than $3.50. = 4.
Trimmings of old sea otter add from
$50 to $75 to the, cost of sealskin
jacket, and beaver trimmings, which
are used chiefly in revamping old ga1-
ments, increase the price by from $25
to 40.
Beaver and mink sacks are not here
in popular demand, but, being very
warm, are sold in considerable num-
bers for wear in the cold climate of the
Northwest. Their price varies from
500 to $155 for beaver and from 5000
to $3.50 for mink.
Muffs and fur-trimmed velvet will be
worn to match. The following will be
tavorite trimmings for garments of
velvet and cloth Chinchilla, from Sc
to 800 per yard Russian fox, $15 per
yard silver fox, SIS to S15 per yard :;
Alaska sable, 81 80 to So per yard and
silver marten, 81 to $3 per yard.
For children's furs, white cony and
ermine will be fashionable for entire
garments. For trimmings there are
natural genet at from 81. 80 to 50. 80 per
yard, and gray fox at from seventy-fve
cents to 50. :
Sets of boas and muffs for ladies are
shown at from $40 to $50 in sealskin, at
from $50 to $75 in ohinchilla, and at
from $25 to 500 in mink. Ladies' and
gentlemen's seslskin caps are both made
with a rolled-up band, and cost from
SO to S15.
