Fashion Notes.

The decadence of chnging skirts is an
nounced.
White fur robes are used by ladies in
their carriages.
Newest furs for the neck are Carrick
capes, instead of boas.
Good news for,brunettes Spanish
styles are coming in this spring.
Roses covered with dew-drops are the
new trimming for ball dresses.
Feather fans are used with evening
dresses almost to the exclusion of all
other styles.
Wedding dresses are mostly in the
princesse style, made plain, with very
little trimming.
Pretty new handkerchiefs are of sheer
lawn, with ruffle embroidered in pale
pink or blue silk.
y New artificial roses are closed as buds,
and by spring open as full-blown
roses while being worn.
New wells are dotted with beads, and
have delicate fringe of the same on the
edge. These are always in mask shape.
A very sensible bangle (that still holds
its own), is plain band of silver with a
patent coin-holder attached by strong
silver chain.
Ladies in mourning wear wide Grape
collars below the standing crepe iis5e
ruehe. Grape cuffs over the long tight
sleeve match the collar.

Wonders of the American Continent.

The american Enquirer thus cata-
logues a few of the wonders of the
American continent: The greatest cata-
ract in the world is the Falls of Niagara,
where the water from the great upper
mile in width, and then being suddenly
two columns to the depth of It's feet.
The greatest cave in the world is the
Mammoth cave, of Kentucky, where any
one can make voyage on the waters Of
subterranean river, and catch fish
without eyes. The greatest river in
the world is the Mississippi, 1000
miles long. The largest valley in
the world is the valley of the Mis-
sissippi. 1t contains 100000 square
miles, and is one of the most fertile re-
gions of the globe. The largest city
park in the world is in Philadelphia. It
contains over 2,700 acres. The greatest
grain port in the world is Chicago. The
largest lake in the world is Lake Supe-
rior, which is truly an inland sea, being
430 miles long and 1000 feet deep. The
longest railroad at present is the Pacific
railroad, over 8, 900 miles in length. The
greatest mass of solid iron in the world
is the Pilot Knob of Missouri 1t is $50
feet high and two miles in circuit. The
best specimen of Greciansarchitecture in
the world is the Girard college for orph.
ans, Philadelphia. The largest aqueduct
in the world is the Croton aqueduct,
New York. Its length is forty and one
quarter miles and it cost 912, 500, 600.
The largest deposits of anthracite Goa
in the world are in Pennsylvania, the
mines of which supply the market with
millions of tons annually, and appear tc
be inexhaustible.

A Bad Fit.

The doctors of Detroit don't take q
joke as kindly as they might. The
other evening citizen of Woodward
avenue went block out of his way to
put his head into a doctors office and
call out
"Man at the corner of Woodward
avenue and Elizabeth street got bad
fit
The doctor put on his hat and hast
ened to the corner indicated, hoping that
he might not be too late to save human
life. There was no crowd and no excite
ment, and as the M. d. leaned against
the lamp-post to catch his breath, he saw
a man sitting on the curb-stone bathing
his feet with cold water. The boot
which he had drawn off stood beside
him, and the man was saying:
"Blame that shoemaker; blame that
boot-ah-yes, blame 'em %
1t was bad fit. After two or three
minutes the doctor saw that it was. What
h 8 thoughts were no one will never know
but as boy came n.cr running a
velocipede against him, he srowled out
"About ten thousand meg in this
town ought to be taken out ans shot p

VOL. VIII.
The Way of the World.

The way oil tne NOrids
Whene'er we see a man
Who's wise beyond the rule;
We ask who is there can,
We ask who is there who'll
Take his place another day,
When his soul has passed away
Out of all this world Of clay
When the weird fates his life-thread sever
And he is lost to us forever?
To us it seems as though
The world could scarcely stand
The course of things scarce go
without his guiding hand;
Strong the wide world to direct,
Reconciling every sect,
Keeping evil courses checked
A hand that's strong enough, and clever,
To keep the worlds course straight forever.
But when he gains the bound.
When runs his earthly race,
Another man is found
straightway to fill his place;
Just as though it were to prove
Others can the world make move
In its old accustomed groove
The world, that would survive him never,
Still rolls on Just the same as ever.
We learn a lesson here;
We find we, after all,
Who think ourselves 80 dear,
Are only very small.
Though we do our best to-day
That our praises men may say,
And we remembered aye;
Yet, notwithstanding our endeavor,
Our deeds and we are missed scarce ever.

A Receipt for Mullins.

As we all know, there are some women
who are natural cooks. The "natural
depravity of inanimate objects seems
charmed away when they get hold of
bowl and spoon. Their ovens always
bake on both top and bottom. Soups
never scorch, nor biscuits sour. They
always carry their recipes in their heads.
With what exasperating indefiniteness
do they answer you when you ask them
how they make any particular thing
mullins, for instance.
"Dear me, never have much of a
rule about such things"
But can't you give me little idea :?
John has so often spoken of your muf-
fins since we took tea with you, and I
really should like to learn how to make
them"
"Well I stir up pretty stiff batter;
depends something on how many folks 1
have to tea,"
"Do you use milk ?"

water"
"Any eggs?"
"Well, If eggs are cheap, break in a
couple, if they are dear, l don't always. "
"You use some butter"
"Oh yes, a piece about as big as an
egg."
She pauses, as if it were all. You
timidly suggest
"Cream tartar or soda ?"
A look of surprise creeps over her
face, as if she would say, "What does
the woman mean by asking so many
questions ?" but she says
"Well, if I have sour milk, I don't
use cream tartar; if the milk's sweet
put in a couple of spoonfuls of cream
tartar and one of soda."
You wish You dared ask whether it's
table or tea-spoonfuls she means, but il
you are novice, think it must be table.

She evidently now considers the thing

bling; but you really do wish to please
John.
The look of surprise changes to wide
eyed amazement.
"Flour? Why, supposed any goose
would know about that. A good bowl
full, of course. 1 always use my owl
Judgment about the flour"
You retire from the field discounted
but not being easily discouraged, try K
follow these "directions. The resul
is something very different from Mrs
Handy's delicate mullins. John breaks
one open very suspiciously, and, after
minutes inspection, pushes back hi

Cooking by means of solar rays has
been tried successfully at Bombay, and
an apparatus has been contrived to cook
chops and steaks in the open air as we'll
and expeditiously as over an ordinary
fire. The apparatus consists of copper
vessel, timed inside and painted black
outside, with glass cover enveloping
the vessel with an inch of hot air, and
fixed on to the bottom of a conical re-
hector lined with common silvered sheet
glass. If properly covered over it will
retain the heat for full three hours and a
half.
