FALL HATS.


Private mllliners, says Hdrper'S
Bdzar for the current week, have had
their fall openings of bonnets, and set
tied the matter of shapes for the season.
Fashionable French milliners have al
ready modified the extremely large bon
nets sent out at the beginning of the
season, and now make graceful bonnet
OF admirable proportions and smaller
size. The fiaring aureole brim is re-
tanned, but the crown is smaller, and the
cottage sides fit the head so closely that
the bonnet scarcely needs an elastic for
holding it on. The ribbon strings that
we recorded as a sensible fashion, it
seems are not to serve their natural pur-
poses of tying the bonnet under the
chin, but are to be crossed behind the
head and passed around the neck as
drapery for the neck, instead of the
black lace scarfs lately worn. Black
tulle and lace are used for this purpose
as we'll as ribbon, and this is the only
way in which black lace appears upon
the bonnets. Ecru cashmere lace is
seen in all the best millinery houses, but
is most sparingly used. Very full face
trimmings, usually of velvet, chif0nne
that is in regular loops, knots, half
bows, rosettes, that are placed on one
side, and in many odd curves La
Renaissance-are all in the new bon
nets. The stylish flowers are full soft
tufts of roses, or carnations, or artemis-
las, with brown foliage, messy buds.
pine cones, burs, and unblown buds.
Felt hats will be worn before the velvet
ones are put on, and many of them are
so handsome that they will be worn on
dressy occasions throughout the season.
GLOVES.
There will be less matching the glove
with the shade of the dress than former
ly. Such dark shades are now chosen
for costumes that light-colored gloves of
some harmonious tint are used to
brighten the toilet. Thus with myrtle
green, plum, or navy blue dresses the
gloves are of the neutral shades of mode
color, wood, drab, or cream. For those
who prefer a monotoned toilet there are
dozens of shades of each of the stylish
colors, slate gray, blue, green, and
brown. 1t is said that gray will be the
prevalent color for gloves to wear with
various dresses. Brown is shown in all
the "beige" hues, and tie blue-black
gloves of last year reappear. The safest
purchase, however, is the demi-shades
of brown and gray, such as the natural
colors of undressed kid gloves, as these
are worn with any dress, and especially
with black costumes.

Fly-Catching Rats.

Mr.. G.. b. Odell, at his hotel on Front
street, is the happy owner of a fly-exter-
minator, which for thorough work is I'M
surpassed by anything we have ever
seen. In one of the windows fronting
on Front street, where samples of his
wares are occasionally shown, rat began
several weeks since to make sly visits,
and secure a good meal as often as he
came, by catching the many flies which
are on the panes of glass. He grew very
expert at it, and though at first quite
shy, soon became emboldened when he
found he was ngt disturbed i'll his forag.
ing expeditions, and would pursue his
business not in the least intimidated by
spectators. who were only separated from
him by q pane of glass. He obtained
entrance to this window by gnawing a
hole through the wooden base, coming
from below. For weeks he has pursued
his fy-hunting business undisturbed.
One Sunday one of the walters discov-
cred him in the act of introducing a
friend or member of his family to his
foraging ground. The newcomer was
very shy, and only put his head through
while the old habitue tried TO coax him
in the window. He would catch fly,
gravely hand it to his friend, who would
rs gravely eat it, and look for more. By
degrees he lost a little of his fear, walked
out, and soon became an expert in the
new business. Either one or both may
be seen almost any day by any one who
may be patient enough to wait for their
appearance short time.-NeUburg

their numbers in the next Chamber, but
in spite of their fuss and activity they
cannot seize on the government, nor
tamper with the spirit of discipline
which prevails in the army. The army
and navy are the best elements of France,
and no idea can be formed of the moral
enthusiasm produced by the war; they
are pattern of honor and duty, and sub
mission to the public interests. Speak
ing favorably of Marshal MacMahon, M.
Gambetta says it is well that he is not
politician properly 50 called, whom party
interests might perhaps draw into griev-
Gus acts. His loyalty he has never for

A Good Crop of Turtles.

Some time since Providence OR. I.)
policeman saw turtle dig a hole and
deposit her eggs therein, at Roger
Williams Park, and when he went to his
home that night disinterred the eggs,
thirty-fve in number, and took them
with him. Digging hole in his yard,
similar to the one made by the turtle,
and as near to it in shape and size as
possible, he again buried the eggs, and
after 1l2 days they commenced to hatch
out, and in short time thirty-four little
turtles no larger than old-fashioned cop
per cents came to the surface, only one
of the eggs failing to hatch. They were
put in pond.

THE OLD CLOCK.

Memento of the gone-by hours,
Dost thou recall alone the past
WHY stand'st thou silent midst these towers,
When time still flies so fast?
Where are the hands in moments fed,
That marked those moments as they ne"'
To generations of the dead,
Who turned ON thee their view.
To watch and greet the appointed time
OF every empty dream of JOY,
Or wait in agony the chime
Which might such dreams destroy!
To thee the eager eye was turned,
Of pride, of policy, and power,
And loves own longing heart has burned
To hear thee mark his hour.
Pleasure and pastime. grief and care,
Have heard thee chime some change OF lot;
While the dull ear Of cold despair
Has heard, but marked thee not.
And thou art silent now, and still,
While round thy mystic dial runs go
The legend OF mans hours-though III,
As thou, he marks the sun
Those rolling suns-those rolling suns,
Unchronicled by both, go on;
Though still each comments as II runs,
Till mans brief day be done.
Mans heart too. like thy face /! on 1t
Records of passing hours may stand,
But stand unmarked by movement mt,
BY chimes or pointing hand.
o, dial art thou raised on high
To speak reproach for lifes abuse?
Or give TO eager hope the lie?
Or tell Times future use?
The future! Thou has Daught TO do
alone
Is that whereon thy comments go,
Fit gravestones of hours gone
The future Yes at least to me
Thus plainly, thus, thy moral stands
Good deeds mark hours Let not life be
A dial without hands.
