Notes on the Fashions.

The fashionable mourning pin for a gentleman's tie is of cut jet, and is round.
 Black velvet bracelets, fastened by gold studs, are something quite new and pretty.
 Centennial travelling cloaks are large circulars, or ulsters, with Vatican backs.
 English walking hats and toques will be worn for travelling and shopping pur- poses.
 in the back of many of the imported polonaises.
 Some of the new diamond rings have the diamond deeply set in heavy circlet of gold.
 Lace and Hamburg embroidery are used in combination for overdresses and sacks.
 The fashionable long crape veil is cut bias at one end, thus making it obliquely pointed.
 The hairin front cut short and combed down straight over the forehead is again in vogue.
 Some of the black parasols are lined with ecru silk, and have ecru lace for 8 finish at the edge.
 The new silks are named gaze moselle, broderie, tolle Bombay, faconne, Arabic and isere.
 The hair is now worn in two braids, looped up on the back of the head, in stead of one, as formerly.
 Striped batiste suits are made com posite, with trimmings of solid colored batiste of the same color.
 Centennial handkerchiefs are of white silk, with border of red, white and blue stripes.
 The face veils for mourning are made of black silk net, with either an edge of crape folds or of silk fringe.
 A special fancy of the season is a cream colored lace overdress, with or without jacket of the same.
 The sacks from Paris have five long seams in the back, but preserve the straight French effect.
 Two leaves or short ends of duchesse lace fastened at the neck with long pin or an artificial flower make pretty bow.
 Goods having alternate stripes of vel vet and grenadine make up very hand somely into overskirts and jackets or polonaises.
 Among the new linen collars and cuffs are some which have borders about half an inch wide of navy blue or car dinal red.
 A handsome jabot is made of Valen- ciennes lace, having between each fall of the lace colored ribbon loops about an inch wide.
 Centennial sashes have three stripes, one of red, one of white, and one of blue. The ends have heavy fringe of the three colors.

How One Feels.

When one of the favored few has gained admittance to the main building on the Centennial grounds, says visitor, if it is his first visit there, he is more than surprised, and even more than filled with admiration, for the only feature capable of rousing the latter feeling is the building, itself, the other objects be- ing so scattered in the hustle of prepara- tion, and presenting such an undistin- guishable mixture of plainness, elegance and grandeur, as to excite almost be- wilderment. In order to see to satis- faction what is going on all over those twenty one acres of flooring, person walks along the nave for a distance of about one and one-half furlongs, when he arrives at the foot of one of the four towers rising from the center of the building. If he is not one of those per- sons who are involuntarily disposed to cast themselves headlong from high places, he ascends the spiral iron stair way, running considerable risk of be- coming so dizzy as to topple over the handrailing and dash his brains out on the floor below. Having reached the first of the three landings in the tower, all of which afford excellent prone nades, he makes use of an inverted paint keg for an arm chair and a piece of floor ing board for note book. High above the showcase and other articles with which the great wooden plane is almost entirely covered, rise the elegant pavil- ions of Spain, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and others, and the pretty pagoda of Chili.

Prince Bismarck speaks good Swed- ish, and learned to do so in six weeks. Before the late Austro -Prussian war, he frequently visited Sweden, Once while hunting in that country with Baron Blitzen Finnecker, Bismarck had a severe fall from his horse. When told that it would take some six weeks before he could recover from the hurt, he con- sidered the unwelcome fact few mo- ments in grim silence and then charac- teristically asked to be furnished with the Swedish and German papers, and 8 Swedish and German dictionary-and to be let alone. At the end of six weeks he had made the double conquest of his wound and the Swedish language which he could fuently speak and trans late

To Preserve Eyesight.

The eye, of all organs of the body, is the most delicate and beautiful, the most fearfully and wonderfully made; and if we remember that it is subject to over forty different diseases, any one of which may derange or even destroy 1t, 1t IS surely only plain duty to do everything we can to retain the blessing of good sight.
 When your eyes are at all weak, never work or read in the twilight, and never go out in very bright sunshine, espe- cially if the ground is covered with snow. Out in Greenland, traveller writes. after shooting for five or six hours on the ice, we used always to come on board as hungry as hawks, but blind as moles. We were all right while on the snow, but the steward had to lead us to the table and assist us in eating. In about two hours we came round again. This snow blindness is caused Tn great measure by extreme contrac- tion of the pupil. Gold water to the eyes and few whiffs of chloroform tend to dispel it.
 Color blindness is rather a strange affection, and any one so afflicted should never attempt to learn to be an artist, a signal man, or sailor. However, this affection is often more apparent than real. It IS not so much that the man does not know the difference in the colors as that he forgets to name them aright.
 Surely it is unnecessary for us here to raise voice against that silly and most pernicious habit that some young ladies have of dilating the pupil with bella donna or solution of atropine before going to party or ball. That it is done, ample means of ascertaining. A more certain way of spelling the eyesight could hardly be devised; let those who doubt me try it for one season, and see as the blind man said.
 Regular living, temperance, 8 suffi cient amount of both bodily and menta exertion, early hours, and the bath ars the chief preservatives to the eyesight.

A Shower of Eggs.

A Niagara (Ont. correspondent of the St. Catharine NeaOs sends that paper an account of shower of goose eggs that he alleges fell in that historic neighbor- hood, during heavy snow storm. He says hundreds of splendid eggs were picked up on field near his house, and he says he intends to "set" " lot of them. He accounts for the phenomenon on the hypothesis that a flock of wild geese, going north, became bewildered in the storm, and were unable to reach their usual haunts in time to deposit their eggs in the orthodox way.
