Millinery.

1t is asserted that the votaries of fash
ion always believe the latest novelties to
be the best that have ever appeared, even
to the extent of obliteratng all that have
gone before; but, so far as millinery is
concerned, this assertion goes improved
this fall. New styles are close resem-
blances of the popular fashions of sum-
mer, just passed, and thus far neither
hat nor bonnet amazes anyone by auda.
cious innovations. Not even a leading
popularity can be remarked, for, while
foreign letter-writers maintain that large
square crowns are the height of the
mode, there are sloping crowns seen
in the Coaching hat, the Tadema, the
Abilene and the Stanley. Bonnets have
square crowns quite frequently, and are
the more stylish for this feature, as
capes and high crown trimmings produce
excellent effects upon these shapes. Brims
for such hats-among which are the
Queen, the Ward and the Acollade-are
somewhat close-ftting, as they flare very
moderately, leaving space of not more
than an inch and half for face trim
ming. The back of the hat is cut
squarely off, as if to fit over the couture.
In a stylish hat, which is prominent
shape for this season, the front droops
over the pulled hair, requiring only vel
vet band and an oblong ornament to fill
in the space. The back is curved or
waved, and completed with a garniture
of ribbon underne ath the cape. The con-
spicuous point of the model is the crown
trimming and the bouquet of autumn
leaves and glossy pine-cones which are
massed at the front. These hats are con-
sidered suitable for young ladies, matrons
and ali except really venerable persons,
and are trimmed with ribbon, velvet, silk
or the fancy silk plushes which are newly
introduced for bonnet trimmings.
The Stanley is a remarkably graceful
shape, well adapted to a combination of
ornament. Both feathers and flowers ap.
pear on the same hat, and knot of rib
bons is placed at the back, partly under
meath the brim, in case the wearer makes
use of a low couture; only the softest
kinds Of feathers are used upon this form
of hat, and when flowers are added the
front view exhibits the feathers only.
For a young married lady a rolling
brim hat or bonnet exhibited at recent
millinery opening presented a model
somewhat oval in shape at the front,
while at the back cape was formed by
turning the frame directly downward,
making square, close outline across the
back of the head. On this variety of hat

ing in this country, is member of the
body known as Plymouth Brethren,
which originated in 1880. The Brethren
do not believe in ecclesiasticism, disown
creeds and confessions, object to any
professional order of the clergy, and take
the Bible as their rule of life. They lay
great stress upon the doctrines of special
providence, answer to prayer, and the
indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and be-
lieve that all religious enterprises re-
quiring money should be carried on with
out appeals for means, in simple trust in
God to furnish money as it was needed.
In the founding of churches in this
country there have been no less striking
condolences than in the establishment
of the civil government or the discovery
of the continent. By one of those singu-
lar condolences not unknown to history
Maryland became the fruitful seed-bed
of American Presbyterianism, American
Methodism, and American Catholicism,
There Francis Mackenzie, an Irishman,
first organized Presbyterianism. There,
also, Strawbridge planted Methodism,
and there Lord Baltimore and others laid
the foundations of Catholicism.

A Battle Between Ants.

G. B. Brown, in his Camp and Canoe
Life in British GUIANA" describes bat
BILE between tamrians Qarge ants, which
do not build nests, but occupy old wasps'
nests or hollow trees) and yackamans,
which are nest-builders The scene of
the battle was hollow tree, the home
of colony of tamrians, surrounded by a
patch of white sand:
"a band from column of yackamaps
crossed the sand, and, climbing the tree,
entered the home of the tamrians, where
they were met by the inhabitants and the
fight commenced; but as the former
poured in by thousands the fight was
carried on in the hollow tree, lasting for
about quarter of an hour. During that
time many yackamans were seen coming
out of the hole carefully bearing their
wounded comrades, some of whom were
lifeless, and making off across the sand
in the direction taken by the main
column. Then soon all began to pour
out again, but these carried the dead
bodies of the unfortunate tamrians, of
which probably not one had escaped.
The band then marched off in long line,
and on their way had to ascend steep
rise in the sand, up which many of them,
who had lost leg or two, could not
climb, but kept rolling down. Then il
was that the collective number exhibited
their wonderful sagacity. As wounded
one was struggling up, many of its un.
loaded and unwounded comrades massed
themselves together below it, and, as il
gained, inch by inch, they advanced slow.
ly in compact mass behind, so that
when it lost its footing and rolled down
it did not 60 far before it was brought
up against their bodies. Sometimes they
almost showed it up, and, getting it safe.
ly to the top, made off and left it to plod
along the level by itself. This was moi
an isolated instance, but was done re.
peatedly by several gangs Of ants"

Saving Garden Seeds.

In reply to the question: Should
farmers save their own garden seeds?" a
correspondent of the Country Gentleman
thus replies We may better afford to
pay treble prices for seeds which we know
to be pure than to grow them and find too
late that they are worse than worthless.
Nor is it any assurance of purity that
the fruit from which the seed was taken
was of superior quality. Many supe-
rior watermelon or muskmelon has had
cross of squash, or something else
not at all affecting the flavor but max
ing the seed something that no one would
plant for any purpose. 1t is one of the
difficulties of this subject that you never
know till the second year whether your
homegrown seeds have been hopelessly
mixed. If, however, you do not care for
the seed, this becomes an advantage.
You may plant the closely. related plants
-squashes, melons, cucumbers and
pumpkins-all in the same quarter, and,
if you choose, with vines running to-
gether, and the fruit will not be injured
particle. If you find any unpleasant
suggestions in the flavor of your vegeta-
seed, and would have shown itself though
sown mile from anything else. But
some kinds of seeds are so easily grown
and saved that farmers are inexcusable
if they need to buy. In a great majori-
ty of cases it is sheer carelessness, or
worse, that they do not have seed to SOW
and to spare. Lettuce always seeds, and
when you once get good kind you need
never fail of supply. twill in fact seed
the ground and be up before you think
the soil warm enough to stir with the
pillow. If not in the right place to leave,
the young plants will make all the better
heads by transplanting. The pinch of
seed which you will give five or ten cents
for pays the seed-grower at the rate of
more than 81 600 per acre. 1t is very
small matter, but if from plant occupying
q square foot of ground you can save five
cents worth of seed, then for that square
foot you will get a crop worth more than
50, 200 an acre. Sweet corn may always
be saved, if the grower will take the
slightest trouble to save one, two or more
ears among the best at the time of gath
ering. Beets may be saved, if you will

wintering in the cellar. When you have
grown quantity of beet seed, it will be
good for seven years, which is more than
you can surely say of seed which you
buy. Seed-dealers have no business to
know how long seed will continue to
grow, but unfortunately they do. They
understand too well also that farmers al
ways SOW garden seeds, especially the
small ones, much too thickly; hence we
find that such a mixture of old and fresh
onion seed as the dealer will calculate
to have come up thick enough. The re-
suit is that if we take extra pains, and
SOW just right, the plants are altogether
too thin. There are so many vexations
in buying poor seeds that, of all kinds
which can be most easily grown, farmers
had much better save a supply from their
own gardens"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-10-13

crown trimmings are particularly effect
i've, but anything that covers the cape is
avoided, although drapery of ribbons
or lace is added beneath the cape for la
dies who require this addition. A pecul-
lar combination of color was seen on the
hat here described. The brim was faced
with dark blue. green velvet, with a piping
of rose color, corded with the dark shade.
The flower garniture showed the rose be-
gonia, or ax-plant, with its lustrous
foliage, and odd buds and blossoms.
Long loops of the velvet appeared on the
outside at the very point of the crown
in front, and the back had garniture of
the same falling from beneath the cape.
A scarf of tulle worn around the throat
was attached with fancy pin to the gar
niture of velvet, which was placed I'M
derneath the cape. Scarfs of lace accom-
pany this variety of hat, but are supple
ments rather than portions of the model,
and are worn only at the convenience of
the individual.
The prevailing materials for hats and
bonnets, apart from the rough straw
bralds (Which will be worn as usual until
cold weather intervenes), are silk, felt
and velvet. Felt hats are of unusually
fine qualities, and a few show furry
brims, in which case a narrow binding
appears upon the edge. Hats of this
kind roll back from the face, and the
only trimming seen at the front is puff
of silk or ribbon placed under the brim
and lying upon the hair. Strings or
brides" are conspicuous on imported
hats, as also are capes made of the trim
ming material, when not supplied as
part of the hat. Hats of silk have the
crowns embroidered with floss and cut
beads matching the hat material in color,
and satin ribbon supplies the trimming.
Jet fringes and beads and clair de-lune
beads and ornaments also appear. New
ribbons are double-faced plush, satin and
brocaded kinds, which have the ground
and figure in different colors. Ribbed
silk, with the color thrown up to the
right side in ridges, is leading trim
ming material, extensively seen on for
eign models this season. Satin roses,
velvet flowers and leaves, and such odd
things as velvet peas and the double
pronged blossom of the maple tree, arc
among fresh importations for millinery
uses. Meetings. of jet serve to cover the
crowns of bonnets, and also to supply
scarfs which extend from the back of the
hat to the front, fastening underneath
the chin. Metal ornaments, which are
supplied in abundance for the fall trade,
are beautiful in design and finish, owing
to the fact of their being the work of
professional jewelers. who have no more
important commissions to execute dur
ing the present depression in business
Many of the designs are exceedingly
original, and it is not unusual to see a
landscape or almost an aviary repre-
sented upon a surface two inches long by
a quarter of an inch broad.-D0mestic
