FASHION NEWS.

The popular dustproof travelling cloak
is modification Of the ''Ulster," Of steel
gray mohair. 1t slightly fitted in the
back, with the front loose, and in some
models deep circular cape is set in with
the side-seams OF the back, and the gar
ment called "Ulster Dolman.'
There is a special fancy this summer
for shirred bonnets OF round hats of cot.
ton goods thot may be renewed by the
laundress when no longer fresh. Ladies
save pieces of their lawn, batiste, and
simple plaid bingham dresses to make
the round hat which is to be worn with
them.
Mob-caps of oil-silk, colored seas green,
or else in the usual yellow shades, are
used to protect the hair while in the wa
ter. Over this is worn a wide-brimmed
coarse straw hat, which may be bought
tor few cents. Sometimes a cottage
shaped cap of the oil-silk is preferred to
the mob-cap.
There are elegant sachels of morocco
and Russia leather, lined with fine mo-
rocdo or velvet, and supplied with vel
vet-lined etui containing hair, tooth, nail,
hat and clothes-brushes, scissors and 9th
er instruments for keeping the nails in
order, boxes Of nail and lace powder,
hand-mirrors and other toilet convenicn
ceS.
Another dressy novelty this summer is
the mantle of white Breton lace made in
the shape of a large fchu, with volumi-
Gus jabot ends tied at the waist in front.
The back reaches just below the belt
the dress, and the shoulders are covered
with soft white net, which is wrought in
the large foriated patterns now darned
ia the Breton lace. The garment is a
most dainty finish to elegant summer
costumes for day receptions. ..sr. o..
The belts and bags so popular with
American ladies are again used-a fash
ion peculiar to this side of the water as
tourists assert each season when return
ing from Europe. For general wear
llght-colored leather or morocco belts are
used, with bags attached, and the favorite
is of alligator-skin with its peculiar
square grains. Belts of medium width
are most becoming to the figures, but
those four inches wide are most fashion
able. ~:.,.
The Carmen bonnet of white organdv
is pretty and inexpensive for midsummer
wear at the watering-places. 1t is made
double OF the sheer muslin, drawn over
fine white wire at intervals of an inch
ai.u has the Mary Stuart pointed front,
widely fairing sides, and indented cur
tain band that distinguishes the large
Carmen shape. A bunch of field peoples,
blue corn-fowers, buttercups or daisies,
with some loops of black velvet ribbon,
form the trimmings. , ~..ls5 ....

Sound SleeD.

a"Put a sound wall of sleep between
every two days" advises q benefacto rato
the human family. Without knowing
whom to credit with it, we recognize its
value and wish the wise counsel might be
more generally needed for the ultimate
good of all. Sound sleep is essential to
good health Nothing else restores tho
system exhausted by labor, by care or &c
tivity, as does the perfect repose found in
unbroken sleep. Almost wholly are the
disposition and temper governed by. the
capacity to sleep soundly. The sound.
sleeper, whose nervous system is re rec
ated and braced by healthful, restful
sleep, is seldom disturbed by trifes that
upset completely an irritable, wakeful
person who lies through the watches Of
the night conscious Of such pulsation Of i
restless being, and beginning each morn
ing with worn nerves and a heavy spirit.
Before the excited imagination of the
wakeful person all the disagreeable

One of the famous prophecies of Moth
erShipton, who lived in England over
800 years ago, was that Ham Hill. Il
large stone quarry near Ycovill, would
suddenly be swallowed up by an earth
quake at 10 O'Clock on Good Friday, 1779,
and that Yeov1ll would be visited bv
tremendous food. When the morning
of that day came, such was the faith in
Mother Shlpton that large numbers of
people came as near as they dared to
watch the catastrophe. Many people
living near by went several miles from
the locality, others moved the pots and
pans from their shelves and slowed away
their looking glasses, while others sus-
pended agricultural work for severa
days preceding the expected shock, Sc,
so as not to waste labor and seed. Twelve
o'clock came and superstition lost an
other hold upon Ignorance -.- zs:-

The chief reason why evil often seems so
much commoner than good in the world
is that evil is noisy and always advertised,
while good is quiet and passes without
notice. The daily press chronicles and
emphasizes crime, but seldom makes rec
ord of the manifold virtues, which are to
vice as fifty to one. In these days Of Excess
sive publication, what we do read of we
are inclined to believe does not exist.
Occasionally however instances of modest
unassertive heroism get into print, and it
is pleasant and encouraging to notice
them: Here are two: Peter Rapp, aged
26, died in Cincinnati a few days ago.
Nobody had known Or even heard of him,
for he was only driver of street car,
earning a wretched pittance. Still, with
this pittance he had for years supported
his father and mother, both invalids and
unable to work, and having provided for
them, had actually nothing for himself.
Last winter he could buy neither under
garments nor overcoat, and |, he s.: was
obliged to walk daily from his poor house
and back, nine miles, because the street
car companies, as generous there as here,
would not allow their employees,
when off duty, to ride free. His
suffering from cold, with Is hours of
daily hard work. added to anxiety and
privation destroyed his health, and he
died of rapid consumption-died, literal
ly, that his parents might live. 8 50 =
Mary Ann, or Grandma, Wilson as she is

faith. She at length married him with

PLY with her husband until the death OF
his father, who decreed on his deathbed
that his son should take another wife
The Mormon apostles subsequently con.
firmed this decree, and Young obeyed. s
When his wife heard that he had decid-
ed to marry again she separated from him.
Since that time she has frequently visited
her parents in Philadelphia, although she
has a fine home in Salt Lake City. While
visiting in Newark Mrs. Young said that
her husband had always treated her kind
ly, and that she pitied him. He did, not
want to marry second wife, and he was
forced by the polygamists, to do so. in
order to show the Mormons that he was
true disciple. of his father. Mrs.
Young also said that her life in Salt

polygamy. H. 34.sl ...s.. ,,...,,, u

since been anxious for her welfare. She

Arizona with his second wife, whom he
never appears with at public receptions.
During the years that Mrs. Young lived
