Fur Trimmings.

Fur trimmings are the most fashion
able garniture for sacks, cloaks, and
heavy wraps of all cleths, silks, and
velvet, the Basar tells us. There is an
endless variety of trimming furs, some
of which we have already quoted, but
the caprice of the season is for dark furs
that have white-tipped hairs and so
popular are these that furriers have re-
sorted to sewing gray or white hairs in
the dark furs when nature has not sup
piled them. OF the latter is fancy fur
called silver otter, which is black fur
with silver hairs sewed or even pasted
in. This is Of no real value, but is the
fancy of the moment, fashion for a
season. 1t is really beaver fur dyed
black, and this, when the white hairs are
inserted, costs SO yard. Black marten
in its natural color is also given facti-
tious value by adding these white hairs,
and is sold for "a a yard. . These furs
are really limitations of the fine sea. otter
which, in its best qualities, is supplied
by nature with these "silver points" or
fine white glossy hairs; this fine fur is
among the choicest trimmings for vel
vet, seal, and silk cloaks, and costs from
Sc to S15 yard. The plain otter fur
ranges from So to $l2. Beaver borders
cost from Sc to $40. The most expen-
sive of all fur trimmings are the sable
tail borders, ranging in price from 800
to $50 a yard. A snowy inexpensive
trimming, resembling chinchilla and
quite as durable, is made from silver
coon skins, and sold from 50 to S..
Gray fox furs have also very good
effect on gray, brown, black, or blue
fabrics, and cost from $1.50 to $3.50 q
yard. The cony trimmings vary in
shade, and arc called black, brown, gray,
silver, or white cony, according to color,
They are much used for trimming chill
dren's clothing, and are very low priced,
ranging from forty cents to sixty-fve
cents yard.

The Presidential Election.

The New York Herald, rejoicing at
the fact that the Republican and Demo
cratic parties were equally balanced in
the late elections, says:
Neither party can afford to blunder in
SO critical a coniuncture. The increas-
ing body of independent voters will de-
eide the contest when the scales hang SO
even and the necessity which each
party will be under of bidding for their
support should incite each to put for
ward its best man and make such a dec
laration of principles as citizens of sound
Judgment can approve. The next
Presidential election will not be sharp
conflict of clashing Epolicies for the
country is nearly unanimous on every
topic which will be touched in the party
platforms of next year. The contest
will probably be decided by the personal
merits of the candidates in point OF
ability, integrity, experience, public ser
vices and popular magnetism. It is for.
tunate for the country that neither party
can presume upon its strength and put
forward mischievous principles or vul
nerable candidate. The present equality
of the two parties is the most hopeful
sign of the times.

Value of Trees In Towns.

Mr.. Griffiths, the medical officer OF
health for Sheffield, in his report upon
the sanitary condition of that town dur
ing 1874, makes the following remarks
in reference to street trees: In the
formation of new streets, and on the eve
of the contemplated widening and altera-
ton of old ones, it is to be hoped that an
effort may be made to provide for the
planting and establishment of trees
wherever practicable. The pleasing ap-
pearance of yerdure in summer, and the
agreeableness of the shade afforded by
the foliage to pedestrians, are Dement'S
to the inhabitants well worth the effort
and the cost. Whoever has visited the
boulevards of continental towns, or even
the squares of London, can testify to the
advantages of verdure as offering pleas
ure to the eye and qualification to the
mind. Moreover, from sanitary point
of view, the benefits are of incalculable
value. 1t has been asserted that the ag-
gregate surfaces of the leaves of well
grown elm, lime and sycamore trees,
with their six to seven million leaves,
equal about 200, 900 square feet, or about
five acres and these are almost con-
stantly absorbing and digesting the car
bonic acid and various exhalations given
off by the putrefaction of animal and
vegetable matter, and, as if grateful for
such support, return into the air pure
oxygen, which reinvigorates and renews
animal life. Trees thus remove poison
from our midst, and to be without them
is an oversight. Trees can be had which
will exist, with suitable attention, in any
part of the city.

Don't Worry.

10 retain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from all anxiety con-
cerning disease. The mind has powe r
over the body, for person to think he
has disease will often produce that
disease. This we see effected when the
mind is intensely concentrated ON the
disease of another. 1t is found in the
hospitals that surgeons and physicians
are liable to die of them themselves, and
the mental strain is SO great that some
times people die of diseases which they
have only in Imagination. We have
seen person seasick in anticipation of
voyage ere reaching the vessel. We
have known persons to die of imaginary
cancer in the stomach when they had no
cancer or any mortal disease. A blind
folded man, slightly pricked in the arm,
has tainted and died from believing that
he was bleeding to death. Therefore,
we'll persons, to remain SO, should be
cheerful and happy, and sick persons
should nave their attention diverted as
much as possible from themselves. 1t
is by their faith that men are saved, and
it is by their faith they die. AS man
thinketh so is he. If he wills not to
die he can often live in spite of disease,
and if he has little or no attachment to
life he will slip away as easily as a child
will fall asleep. Men live by their souls
and not by their bodies. Their bodies
have no life of themselves, they are only
receptacles of life, tenements of their
souls; and the will has much to do in
maintaining the physical occupancy OF
giving it up. ,- = -

since accused of numbering one of his
Deighbors, confessed his crime, and
gave all the particulars of it. He was
sentenced to be hanged; but his life was
saved by the sudden reappearance OF
the individual supposed to have been
murdered-there having been no murder
or violence at all. This case is matter
of judicial record, and puzzle to jud-
ges and lawyers. That " confession
was by man of mature years, of educa-
tion and of good character. Now comes
" confession" also of an offense never
committed, by a boy of tender years /;
and it is cCrroborated by little brother,
who never saw anything of the kind
which he says he saw. This story, in
which is involved a peculiar phase of
human character, or the working of the
mind under serious accusations, is some
thing for teachers, as well as lawyers
and judges, to reflect upon and define,
if they can.

A Strange Prisoner.

One of ex-Gov. Dix's official acts near
the close of his administration was the
pardon of John Parsons, who had served
twenty-three years of life sentence.
His crime was the unintentional killing
of man in street fight in New York.
In Sing Sing he became, through good
behavior, favorite with the keepers,
and was often sent to the village on
errands, but by his few friends and rela-
tives out in the world he was soon for
gotten. He lost, with the knowledge of
their disregard, all desire for freedom,
grew to regard the prison without re
gret as his permanent homo, and op-
posed frequent offers of endeavors to Sc
cure for him a pardon. Several years
ago he was allowed to visit New York
alone, and while in Niblo's theater was
seen by keeper, who, supposing that
he had escaped, handcuffed and took
him back to Sing Sing in spite of his ex-
PLANTATION. That was his last absence
from the prison, for when the pardon
from Gov. Dix was received he wept,
declared that if sent away he would com
NIT some crime that would insure his
return, and prevailed upon the warden
to allow him to stay. A few days age
he died in his cell.

Church PewS.

There is speck of history connected
with the origin of church pews that can
not help but prove interesting. In the
early days of the Anglo-Saxon and
some of the Norman churches a stone
bench afforded the only sitting accom-
modations for members or visitors. In
the year 1919 they are spoken of as sit
ting on the ground OF in standing pos
ture. At q later period the people in
troduced low, three-legged stools, and
they were placed in no uniform order in
the church. Directly after the Norman
conquest wooden seats came in fashion.
In 1887 decree was issued that none
should call any seat in the church his
own except noblemen and patrons, each
entering and holding the one he first
found. From 1880 to 1910 seats were
more appropriated, and a crow bar
guarded the entrance, bearing the ini-
tial of the owner. 1t was in 1908 that
galleries were thought of. And as early
as 1918 pews were arranged to afford
comfort by being baized or cushioned,
while the sides around were so high as
to hide the occupants-a device of the
Puritans to avoid being seen by the Off
GER, who reported those who did not
stand when the name of Jesus was men
toned,

Wheat i'm New York.

The number of acres of wheat under
cultivation in the State of New York in
1850 was 12,408,9 ,964 in 1870, 15, 5,627,-
206 /; increase, 3,218, ,242, or twenty-six
per cent, while the wheat crop, which
should have gained in the same ratio,
fell off nearly eight per cent. ..H
Winter wheat was the chief crop in
western New York from the earliest set
Element until about twenty years ago,
when winter killing, the midge and
other annoyances led many farmers to
the cultivation of other cereals or fruits.
Still winter and spring wheat are largely
grown, though the yield seems to grew
smaller year by year. ,.,--
When the Western States began to
send down their vast crops of wheat the
farmers of New York looked around for
other crops. They devoted more land to
barley, oats, corn. and potatoes, and
made some successful experiments in to
bacco. Buckwheat, hops, broom corn
and hay were looked after. and certain
localities were devoted to one or two
articles. -

The Agreement.

A resident of Detroit, says the Free
Press, secured place for his boy to
learn trade few weeks ago, having a
written agreement with the manufactur-
er. The boy proved very destructive on
machinery and window glass, aud final
ly, the other day, the manufacturer call
ed upon the father and said
"I can't keep Henry any longer. His
recklessness has cost me over 5000 in
four weeks"
"What's the matter2" inquired the
father.
"Why, he has broken over twenty
panes of glass, for one thing, and the
other day he destroyed piece of ma
chinery which cost me Sl40."
"He did, eh2"
"Yes, he did,"
"Well, when I go home I'll look at
our agreement" eoid the father. 81

A Butter Trier.

An Auburn paper tells this delightful
story: Saturday morning a woman ap-
preached the stall of a market man in
Williamsport and asked if he had any
good butter. The man informed her
that he had prime article, at the same
time unfolding a fine roll from clean
white cloth, which he exhibited. The
woman seized it like tiger, and held it
up to her nose, and then deliberately
reaching back of her head drew forth a
hair pin and jammed it deep into the
butter. AS she drew the pin through
her mouth, she shook her head, and re-
marked that it wasn't good. and adjust
ing the pin she moved on.

An Agreeable Story. .

"Milk mysteries and milkman' s
miseries is the alliterative heading q
New York exchange places over trial
that took place in the marine court.
This was suit for the recovery of $500
from milkman who had been supplied
by dairyman up in the country. In
the course of the trial some interesting
developments were made that we appre-
hend will prove very interesting to all
consumers of milk. In the first place,
it appears that the employees of the
railroads are in the habit of opening
cans, taking as much milk as they want,
and replacing the stolen fluid with
water. If the cans are locked they are
broken open, for the milk will be had.
Assuming that pure milk is shipped by
the dairyman, what must be its condi-
ton on arrival in New York, even before
it is doctored by the dealers here2 But
it appears watering is not the greatest of
the agents used to adrlterate the milk.
In summer baking powder, sulphur, and
other mild and agreeable tonics are ad-
ministered in the milk to preserve its
tone and prevent it souring. In the
course of the trial referred to, it ap-
peared that on one occasion an overdose
of baking powder was given a can with
lamentable results. During the night
the powder began to exercise its leaven-
ing functions with such admirable sue
cess that the lid was blown off the can
and the fluid overfowed the floor. AT
other times the smell OF sulphur from
the milk was so strong that the dealer
was obliged to throw the fluid away.
In consequence Of this he refused the
dairyman payment, and the suit that
was begun in consequence was the me.
diurn that brought these pleasant facts
to light. Badly-fed cows, water, sui
phur, and baking powder combined dc
not tend to produce pure milk.

A Buried Love.

Our love WAS born amid the purple heather,
When winds were still, and vesper lights
were red
For one bright year we cherished it together
Now it lies cold and dead.
Dead and across the brown hill-ridges, vail
ing,
Comes the wild autumn in her swift return,
With sullen tears, and misty garments trailing
Over the faded fern.
All, there may come time-God send it
quickly
When loves lone grave shall wear fra
grant wreath
or blooms, and velvet moses, piling thick)y
Upon the dust beneath.
And we, across the heather slow returning,
May seek, perchance this sacred mound Of
ours
Seek it, unvexed by any foolish yearning,
And find it lost in flowers.

Domestic Bliss.-A Fragment.

lam
A married lady Of thirty odd.
Every evening see in their beds
A "b bakers dozen" Of curly heads.
Every morning my slumbers greet
The patter patter Of twenty-six feet,
Thirteen little hearts are always in flutter
I'LL thirteen little mouths are filed with bread
and butter
Ihlrteen little tongues arc busy all day long,
Iwenty-six little hands, with doing something
wrong
Till fsin am to do,
With an energy, too
And when my poor husband comes home from
his work,
Tired and hungry, and fierce as Turk,
What do you think is the picture he sees
legion Of babies, all in breeze
Johnny is crying
And Lucy assigning,
And worn-out mamma, with her hair all
s,hying;
Strong and angry William beating little Nelly ;
Charley in the pantry eating currant jelly
Richard strutting round in papas Sunday
coat
Harry at the glass with razor at his throat
Robert gets his fingers crushed when susy
shuts the door,
And mitigates their aching with forty-pound
roar
BABY at the coal-hod hurries to begin,
throwing in his mite to the universal din.
Alas my lord and master being rather weak of
nerve, he
Begins to lose his patience in the stunning
topsy-turvy,
And then the frightened little ones all fly to
me for shelter,
And 80 the drama closes mid a general helter-
skelter.
LII give you my name lest you find me
myth!
Yours feaTy Tyectfully, Mrs. John Smith.
