Partisan Headgear.

It is more than ever understood now
in Paris that the chapeau should be
made to match, in some particulars at
least, the costume it is worn with. One
can no longer buy bonnet because it
is pretty it must be chosen with q
view to it's fitness with regard to Cher
things. It is very fashionable to make
the crown of the bonnet of the same
material as the dress. This has
brought black silk chapeaux into
vogue, that being so much worn,
Black silk bonnets are very becoming,
and any flowers or trimming will suit
them. Some are made like Charlotte
Corday caps, with rushing in front of
silk and areophane, bunch of flowers
being inserted just in the centre, To
wear with blue dresses toque of blue
Levantine silk is very pretty, surround
ed by wreath of forg et-me-nots and
variegated leaves, with ruching OF
blue Grape peeping beneath the rim,
which is entirely covered with the
flowers. Straw bonnets, of course, suit
ecru toilets to perfection. For black
or white straw hats roulard 'kerchief,
knotted over the crown in the Dor.
delaise or Creole fashion, is very Co
quettish and pretty. These 'kerchiefs
are of the most brilliant colors, some
times half dozen tints mixed together
and, when such is the case, few or nc
flowers or feathers must be used, anC
the toilet must be sober in coloring, OF
the effect will be much too glazing.

Curious Norwegian Dishes.

Still, III most countries there is some
thing to be Iearned-some peculiar dish
mot unfrequently the queerest look
ing) which will reward investigation.
Occasionally, indeed, the inquirer will
meet with rebuff; but is not this the
case III all original research? Never
shall we forget our first and last ac-
quaintance with that northernest and
nastiest Of foods called stockfsche.
We had arrived at a settlers hut far
away III the Arctic regions of Norway.
hungry as starved wolves, and 10 one
set before us what looked and felt like
large splinter of pine wood. AS we
raised it to our lips, however, we be-
came fully aware by the perfume, which
can only be described as noisome, that
1t consisted Of animal matter; still,
undaunted, we managed to bite off a
portion. At first it seemed tasteless,
but as it became slowly reduced by ac-
vely-working jaws, such sickening
flavor unfolded itself that in horror
and amazement We fed from the food
and the hut that could harbor it. Our
feeling on first tasting the plum soup of
n Norway, served as the commencement
Of dinner, was one Of indignant sur
prise, not much inferior to that of the
bucolic gentleman who bit into an olive
under the impression that it was a pre-
served green-gage and though it is
not in itself absolutely nauseous. we
coefess we could never abide it. There
is, however, one excellent dish which
the Norwegian traveller meets with at
every little in. It is called carbonate.
and consists of minced meats, eggs.
and fine herbs made up into kind of
cake, and then fried or baked. The
meat probably, if cooked in an ordinary
way, would defy mastication, but thus
treated it is really a dainty plate.
Equally common at the post stations is
salmon dried and prepared in some
sublime manner, far superior to the
kippered salmon of commerce, and
eaten raw in the thinnest possible

yourself about to salute the red Inns of

with the other she draws forth from her
mouth brownish black roll of tobacco

monster grub, and then depositing the
savory losenge on the brim of your
sombrero, puts up her face, and is
ready for salute. I have sometimes
seen an over-delicate foreigner turn
away with shudder of loathing under
such circumstances, and get the epithet
of thesavage applied to him by the Of
Tended beauty for his sensitive squeam-
ishness. However, one soon gets used
to this in Paraguay, where you are,
perforce of custom, obliged to kiss

at least $1,s78, 100000 to the national
wealth.
The present yearly increase in this
population being 80, 432, an additional
million will be gained every thirteen
years.
These additional millions will be
urgently needed and can be readily
supplied by Europe from time to time
and from age to age, to enable the
American Union to produce and export
the vegetable and animal products to
feed, and the cotton to clothe the large
and st eadily increasing population of
Europe.

Ohio River, and on the upper lakes and

1t has now become matter of vital

4 King of Trees.

In the great forest, near Cape Coast
Castle, Africa, the silk-cotton, like a
king OF trees, towers over all others. 1t
is truly most wonderful tree. It
grows faster than any other, for the
wood is soft. It must be one of the
largest trees in the world. There is a
most wonderful provision of nature
shown III this in compensating it for
the softness Of its wood, which, from
It's immense size, could not support the
weight Of the branches and towering
top. Rising far above the other giants,
therefore deriving no shelter from them.
each one stands for greaterpart OF it's
height separate tree, and exposed to
the full force of the constant tornadoes
which sweep over this part of the coun-
try during the rains. The necessary
support is given to it by a number of
large buttresses all round the stems ::
they are formed by the roots which rise
over the ground in a fattened shape ex-
tending up the sides of the trees. and
forming most regular supports all
round. In many places the natives
make use Of the spaces between these
buttresses as houses; merely making
roof overhead, the house is complete.
AS the people Of this country never
have more than three walls to their
houses, and the tree. with two of it's
buttresses supplies those, they are quite
ready-made houses for them, and in
destructible. While the tree is young
all the bark is covered with very large.
strong thorns. For what purpose it is
provided with these is not so evident.
