ELLGRTLY rOSTHlrES.

A terrible fashion has been introduced this
autumn into Paris to swell bills and excite an
honorable emulation in extravaganza. Some
one has discovered that trimming dress with
birds feathers has an exceedingly charming
appearance, and that envy is excited in pro-
portion to the rarity of the fowl that is plucked
The lady who has introduced this novelty
made her first appearance in a costume which
evidently left nothing to be desired; though
we are unable to understand the millinery
jargon in which it is described. The tunic was
trimmed with the feathers of the jay, but only
the blue ones that form part of the wing. As
the jay is not a very common bird-for he is a
deadly enemy to gamekeepers, and even the
Legislature has put price on his head-thOSe
feathers must have cost pretty sum. But
what will old ladies and children exclaim
when they hear that another merVsiILe,Ise, not
to be outdone, has ordered black silk dress
to be trimmed with canary feathersl Il is not
easy to calculate how many hundreds of these
little creatures would have to be butchered be-
fore the quantity requisite to produce the
effect would be obtained. Then arises the
question, what next? To ladies of inventive
genius, the Geological Gardens offer oppOrtuni-
ties, the thought Of which ought to strike
terror into the breast of DR.. Sclater. Deli-
cans beak as hair-pin would set of the
largest chignon. How many eockatoos' grace
full top-knots would be required to furnish
forth costume de eoUr could only be matter
of speculation, and the judicious expenditure
of a few six-penny visits. A iamfDgO's leg
would make an elegant parasol handle, and a
tigers tail comfortable, as we'll as an IN
usual, boa. The mask of the Polar bear,
neatly trimmed with Vultures' feathers, would
make a very striking as well as q warm cover
ing for. the head during the coming winter.
But these are rather speculations for the man
milliners. If we only live long enough we
shall no doubt see the elephant and rhinocerOs
contribute something else besides their
"ivories" to the exfgencies of fashion, and
when the earth and the air are exhausted
there will remain the great deep and its in
habitants to help to crafty feminine vanity

CB.tD LIFE IN SHAKERDOK.

Children Il. at are placed with the Shakers
at Lebanon are l.ndentured to Benjamin Gates
or some authority uEtiI they become Of age, +"
he agreeing in papers 70 provide them food,
clothing, etc. They are then placed In the
children's order, under the charge Of sisters
designated to care for them, who commence at
once to instill into their minds the glories Of
the creed. In their management never a blow
is struck. Refractory ones are punished by
being laid fat upon the floor, face down.
When they have been kept thus PROSTATE for
a length of time, they are taken I'D and
''talked to-" the enormity Of their offenses
pointed out, and are exhorted to behave bet
ter in the future. Those from eight to 4
dozen years of age ego to confession" every
Saturday, and Gown up' Tor are supposed TOD
to the little sins of the week that have escaped
the notice of their guardians. And as they
receive special approval after an apparently
very full confession, they early learn to con-
jure up quite enormous stories, knowing that
they "gulP' their cOnfessors into deeper
belief in their penitence. Snow don't you
feel better after confessing all thatw asks the
ancient virgin who has heard the story. "Yes,
yea" says the little miss, and tipping wink
to her companions she walks out as sedately
as a spinster of seventy. Another method Of
punishment is to put the youngster into =
large sack, tying it tightly around the neck.
Should the child refuse to get into the bag, it
is drawn over the refractory one, and then,
head, feet and all envelOped, he or she is left
to repent Of the offensive disobedience. The
children are sent to school four months each
year-the boys in the winter and the girls in
the summer. Coeducation hasn't the slight
est support here. The girls and boys must
not converse together. If they happen to
meet, and if roguish youngster is bold
enOu0h to break the silence with soma Drattyr
maiden, the maiden must be deaf and dumb
to him. "Isn't there some boy here that YOU
are just little fonder of than the othersl' is
a standing question in the confessional. The
reply always is NAY" and the blind Old
goodies believe it!-PittStisld Eagle.

PEOPLE WHO WHINE.

There is a class of persons in this world, by
no means small, whose prominent popularity
is whining. They whine because they are
poor, or if rich, because they have no health
to enjoy their riches; they whine because they
shave no luck" and others prosperity ex-
eeeds theirs; they whine because some friends
have died and they are still living; they whine
because they have aches and pains, and they
have aches and pains because they whine; and
they whine, no one can tell why. Now word
TO these whining persons. First, stop whin-
ing-it is of 10 use complaining, fretting, fault
finding and whining. Why, you are the most
deluded set of creatures that ever lived! Do you
know that it is a Well-settled principle Of
physiology and common sense that these habits
are more exhausting to nervous vitality than
almost any other violation of physiological
lawl And do you know that life Is pretty
much as you make it, You can make 1t bright
and sunshiny, or yoI can make i dark AND
shadowy. The.zI stop whining and fretting, and
go on your Way rejoicing

PLANTS SACRED TO TIE EzRGLE,

There is a whole garden full Of plants sacred
to the Virgin Mary, generally because they
flower at some period connected with "Our
Lady's" days-the Visitation, the Assumption,
the Birth, the Baptism, Puriieation-such as
the LADY smoek, J" Lady's Mantle, (" 'Lady's
Fingers" "Lady's Slippers" '.Lady's
Tresses," the pretty little green ophrys with
a twisted stem. The ''Virgin's Bower" begins
to blossom In July, when the Feast Of Vista
occurs, and Is In the fullest flower at the As
sumption, in August. The "Lady's Bedstraw''
belongs to no particular month, but has a Verv
particular story for its name. The different
plants were summoned to come and form a
little bed for the Virgin and Child in the stable
at Bethlehem. They all made excuses one af-
ter the other; some were too busy, some de-
elared themselves insi1Hifeant, some too great.
or it was too early or too late for appearing.
At last this pretty little white star offered her
self for the place, and she WAS afterward re-
warded for her virtue BY her flowers being
turned TO a golden yellow,
