The Fashions.

For engagement rings, solitaires are
now preferred to clusters.
Contraryto the predictions which have
been made, the imitation Of dresses is
not at all marked.
Diamonds are set in receding settings,
i. e., the gold is subseryient to the gem
and shows as little as possible.
The Derby felt hat, that may bebought
as low as fifty cents, is worn by misses;
also the Pinafore with straight sailor
brim.
An old resident Of the village should
call on a new resident without being in
troduced. Her visiting card is sufficient
introduction.
Scarfs Of chenille are imported for
throwing over the head and shoulders
when going TO evening entertainments.
They come in dark garnet shot with gilt
threads, in pale blue, cream-color, and
rose.
There is no change in the shape of
short round skirts, nor in the very small
bustles which are worn with them. The
bustles are only required to lift the
skirt out and back very slightly, so that
the wearer may not touch the edge with
the back OF her foot.
Soft plaid silks are imported laid in
folds TO yea as ichus ON plain dresses,
especially to %enliven black toilettes. -
They extended down each side below the
belt, and are trimmed inside and across
the ends with plated white Breton lace.
The blue and green plaid ichus are very
popular.
The sleeves Of cloth suits are plain
coat shapes entirely without trimming,
or else having either one or two large
buttons set near the wrist, and with these
are mock button-holes. Instead of bind
ing the mock holes with silk, they are
now overcast as real button-holes are,
but are not cut open.
A gray cloth costume is trimmed with
black corduroy, the skirt being formed
Of three kilt plaits of the gray in clus-
tiers separated by a corduroy plait.-
Skirted basques, double. breasted frock-
coats with the double part added by
q seam down the middle, and habit
basques, are all used with cloth suits.

Burdette,s Sermon on Contentment.

Be contented, my SOD. You need not
be Satisfied with what you are; you don't
want to live without ambition; 80 long
as you live, strive to be something bet
ter and higher and stronger tomorrow
than you are to-day, but don't worry;
don't fret. Wear your ready.made clothes
with the air OF a prince, until you can
do better; eat your twenty-five cent din
ner with the maDner Of a man who is &C.
customed to fare sumptuously every day
on course dinners, and likes this sort of
q thing for a change. Keep the sun
shine in your heart and it will shine out
of your face. The worlds always CRATE
full to a sunny t. mpered man, just be-
cause he is good enough and gracious
enough to live in it. Laugh, my son,
if your stomach is s empty that you
can not tell whether your pain is my our
liver or your backbone, wear your hat
iauntily if it is so full of holes that you
can't see the grease and weather stains
that cover it;speak cheerily, though you
have to wear your overcoat every time
your shirt goes to the laundry, 1t won't
be an easy thing to do, right along; the
days will come when n good indulgence
in the blues would seem like paradise;
there will be hours when you would
rather swear than laugh, when you
would rather growl and wall than look
pleasant; there will be times when in
spite of your strength and manhood and
good resolutions, you will go away by
yourself and groan and bury your face
in your hands and cry like a girl; know
it, son. But don't make q habit Of it,
aud don't let any n see you do it. II
is a dangerous luxury, son, and should
only be indulged in at very long inter
walls and on rare occasions. Cultivate
contentment; if you have no gloves, put
your hands in your pockets; if your coat
is out at the elbows, back up against
the fence; if you have no hat, you will
never become bald. Aud when prosper
ity comes-not il, but when-ycu will be
prouder of your good nature in the dark
days of your adversely, my son, than
you can be Of all the honors and all the
fame and position that prosperity and
success can bring you. Never worry,
son; don't fret; it will only make your
face thin and your hair turn gray.

November in History.

The anniversaries Of November are
quite in keeping with its somber repu-
%tation, being mostly Of a very gloomy
order. On the LIST Of November, 1855,
occurred the great earthquake Of Lisbon,
the most terrible which has eyer deyasta.
ted Europe. The 9th has the multiplied
renown Of Guy Fawkes' 'Gunpowder
Plot, Frederick the Greats overthrow
Of the French at Rossbacb, in 1857, the
massacre OF the British ENJOYS at Cabul
in lS41, and the Russian defeat at mixer.
man. The 9Th is the anniversary OF
Milton's death. Ga the 9th Napoleon
overthrow the Directory, and made
himself First Consul OF France. On the
10th Arnold and Montgomery commenc-
ed their daring attempt upon Quebec.
The same day has the greater renown
Of Luther's birth, and the fall Of Glsta-
vus A~dolphus at Lutzen, an event which
changed the whole course Of the Thirty
Years War. The capture Of Vienna by
the French, in 1905, occurred on the
18th. On the 18th was born the elder
Pitt, (afterward Lord ChathamJ on the
10th D'Alembert, one OF the ablest and
bitterest of the great writers who pre-.
cipitated the French Revolution. The
opening OF the Suez canal fell on the
same day. The 18th Witnessed Napo-
Icons victory at Arcola, (17960 Sir
Colin Campbell's relief Of Lucknow,
1850 the storming of Kars, QS77,)
and Gen. Skobelef's success at the
Green Hills, near Pleva, in the same
year. The 18th is the birthday OF Prof.
Nordenskjold, the explorer of the Siber-
ian sea-board. Ga the Goth Admiral
Vernon and his famous six ships cap
tured Porto Bello, on the Panama 18TH
mus. The 23S, Oath, and 25th witnessed
the series of battles by which Gen. Grant
drove Bragg from Chattanooga. On the
28th died De Frontenac, n of the
most distinguished OF the French gov
ernors of Canada. The 30th is rendered
famous by the fall OF Charles XII. Of
Sweden before the fortress Of Frederick
she'll; the death of Marshal SAKE, Louis
XV.'s ablest general, aud the great
sortie from Paris against Brie and
Champigny. This list is still to be
supplemented with the suicide of Lord
Give, on the Y of his departure for
America to deal with the expected out
break; Hoods defeat at Franklin by
Gen. Schofield, (ls64D the death Of Gen.
Meade, and serveral of the hardest
battles OF the Franco German war.

to where you threw it from, and then,
with as little force as possible, take it
away, place it on the ground; do not
allow him TO touch il, but pat him and
praise him; in n few minutes repeat the
operation, and continue until he gets
tired OF it, at first signs Of which stop

will like the lessons all the better il at
the end of each you reward him with

extend the lesson out OF doors, throwing
the ball into grass or elsewhere that he
may have to seek for it; and 60 on until
he will seek at the commanding use Of
that word, with a wave Of the hand to
guide him in the direction in which you
have previously hidden the ball. These
should be strictly private lessons, as the
presence OF any other man or dog will
distract the pupils attention and spoil
all. Lessons in the water are taught on
the same plan, and diving by using a
bone or other white substance that will
sink, beginning by at first dropping il
into very shallow, clear water. We have
seen a dog trained in the manner we
have briefly described-he was a fine
pup, son Of imported parents-so that
at six months old he would go back two
miles and fetch an srticle which he had
not seen hidden, and he was SO tender
mouthed that we have seer him carry a
winged crow a mile without hurting
him-no easy task when the temper Of
the crow and the strength of his bill are
considered. -Book Of the Dog.

A Powerful Electric Eel.

NJ. Marcy, who has for some years
been engaged in the study of these very
singular aquatic animals, has announced
to the Paris academy CT science that he
has received Il living specimen of the
gymnotus or electrical eel from Peru,
and that it is lodged in his laboratory at
the college de France, where, Blythe
bye, any visitor is admitted to inspect it.
The gymnotus is that peculiar fish
which at its pleasure gives electrical
discharges, and thereby stuns tho ami
NAL it desires to make its prey. Its
principal home is in the rivers and la
goons Of South America, where it is the
terror of all other animals, not even ex-
cepting the clyman, the American croco.
die. One OF these eels two meters in
length can give a shock which will re.
duce to powerlessness the ken and
horses that come down to the stream to
drink at the points it ~frequents, and
thus render them an easy prey to their
aquatic enemies. Man himself, although
not so sensitive to the shock as other
animals, is still liable to very serious
inconvenience from its effects. NJ.
Marcy has found, during his investiga.
tions, that a gymnotus Of a meter in
length has an electrical surface Of about
600 square feet, equal to a very power
full battery. The animal, owing to
its length and suppleuess of it's body,
can produce different electrical effects
according as it is in a straight line, con.
vex, or concave as regards its prey. Its
general mode of procedure is to form a
semi circle and place the fish it is intent
on in the diameter Of the circuit
When the discharge is delivered, the
prey, as if struck by a thunderbolt, is
rendered powerless; the gymnotus swings
round it, as if to be assured OF the eff
cacy of the shock, and then swallows its
victim. These are not the only fish
which possess this singular power oil
launching electrical discharges on their
prey or on their enemies. Many others
are known, but far inferior in force to
the terrible gymnotus. Among them are
the torpedo fish and some species Of
skate which inhabit the coasts OF Great
Britain and France, and som> other
species found in the Nile and Senegal.
