Again, it is night glorious night. The
moon, at its full, has reached the zenith and,
drowned in sea of stars, looks down upon
the sleeping earth.

Fashion Notes.

Imported collars have neck. ties to
match.
There is noticeable absence of lace
on hats, this season.
Arms and crests on note paper are
more stylish than monograms.
1.-THE oId-fashioned black and white
checks are to be worn again.
Crimred braid fringe is mentioned
as being on many of the Paris dresses.
The cuirass basque has recently been
given the name of 'Genevieve de Bra
bant.'
Many tasques are made without
shoulder seams, and consequently have
has backs.
All the looping of over-dresses is in
the back. The front must be perfectly
straight and plain.
Most of the spring hats have three or
four colors in the trimming, and these
in great contrast.
Children's hats are mostly of chip
and leghOrn, and simplicity is the rule
which guides the trimming.
The new summer fan is called the
'Pistolet.' It's shaped like pistol,
and goes off when opened.
There are such varieties in the shapes
of hats that no lady will be excused if
she chooses an unbecoming one.
Plaid grenadines-a novelty this
spring-are likely to vie with the stri-
ped ones for preference. Plain grena-
dimes must be trimmed with bright
colors.
Some of the country hats are marvels
of beauty and jauntiness. They have
very wide brims turned up i'll front
and dented at the sides, and are TRIM
med with scarfs or flowers.
When a long apron over-dress is
worn, there should only be one row of
trimming on the front of the under
dress; but from the front breadth back
the trimming should extend half way
up the skirt.
Brocade and can ask ribbons are, at
present, all the style, but have been so
extensively imported that they are
likely to become common. Those used
as scarfs for hats are from five to
twelve inches wide.

For another source of eur daily fun
we are Indebted to Shiliaber. His Mrs.
Partingion, however, is but an Ameri-
can edition of ss;Shs ridan's Mrs. Mala-
prop. We love the old lady the more
when We hear hi T say, like a good house
wife, that she gets up every morning
at tie shriIl carrion of the chandelier!
But her mischievous nephew, Ike, is
purely indigenous. His mischief is the
very essence OF Young America with
ont its father. Ike is yet to grow into
full stature. He stands as the juvenile
embodiment of d peculiar vein known
among US as practical jokes-what the
boys term 'sells," and from which
springs their expression, well, hes
lsold." This is almost a mon0Inania
with some. Even such players as
Southern have not disdained TO play its
pranks. 1t is the result of its proven
bial shrewdness which seeks to slyly
lead green one on, in the most natur-
al way in the world, until the catastro-
phe is ready when the pitfall is opened,
and the victim drops or rushes in with
a curiosity only equaled by the surplus
fund of experience which he receives.
Barnum's book has many exam pies OF

raciness of the joke hides the rascallty
of the job; and we applaud the success
full Inorist, first because We can but
admire his shrewd calculations on the
sim plicity of human nature, and next,
because we are glad to see our fellows
learning the ways of the world in such
an amusing way. In trading, he is the
/ very incarnation of the koenast shrewd-
ness. He will b.s 2,Ift la do business
under the most advtiae circumstances,
ana secure profit also. This propen-
sity is portrayed in the story of Sam
Jones. That worthy, we are told, call
} ed at the store of a Mr.. Brown, with an
egg in his hand, and wanted to 'dicker
il for darning-needle. This done, he
asks Mr.. Brown if he isn't '.going tC

tainly, a trade is trade, big or little. ,
"Well, what will you have?" "a glas;

THE DIsAPPoINTMENT OF EARTH
In Our age, full of new logical force
and OF reliance upon reason, our young
men, proud and impatient, deal very
harshly with the evidences of religion,
and will exact proof long after more
thoughtful age would have sought the
place of faith and hope. We who have
come to middle life have discovered
that we cannot have everything heart
can wish. When people are young
they use that poetic formula, but We
know well that man can only find a
small part of his hearts desire along
any of earth's best paths. The happi-
ness, the success, the fame man longs
for will never come. 1t is just thus all
along the lines of the SOULS outtreach-
ing, and thus young men ask for
proof of religion which they will never
find. They laugh at our proofs because
they do not realize that the mighty
disappointment of earth is universal,
and with its dark cloud wraps not only
the dreams of happiness and fame and
life, hut the evidences and faith OF the
Christian.-Da Swing.

- HAZZS

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation ;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that isis kept
fully up to its high standsTd; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for rrestoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making 1t
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruH
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
BY its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. It is the most
economical HAZE DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair splendid, glossy ap-
searance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
