FOR THE FAIR SEX.


pout, and parting Of lips as they touch
That's kiss in the abstract. 1t does not seem
much;
But where is the language can rightly express
it2
What letters can sound it 10 help you to guess
it?
What simile suggest or what fancy reveal
The mysterious bliss it can cause one to feel I
Here nature assuredly won a diploma
For fragrance OF flavor and perfect aroma
A kiss is eleotrical-comes with a start
That tingles delicate shock to the heart,
And sets the eyes twinkling with rapturous
delight,
Like stars in the sky OF clear frosty night.
When tits over the ecstacy clings to you yet;
Ills Joy to remember and never forget.
All pleasure condensed in an instant OF bliss
Can but partly describe what's contained in
kiss.

Fashion Notes.

Flowers reappear as trimming for
dress bonnets.
Cashmere colors are more sparingly
used, and chiefly as relief to plain vel
vets and cloths.
A great deal of figured and stamped
velveteen is used inexpensivey with
satin and silk in street costumes.
The latest boots for ladies have broad
projecting sole, and button on the out
side of the foot instead of over the instep,
as formerly.
Wide ribbons with dark borders and
chintz or palms in the center, are used
with striking effect with delicately
tinted muslins and satins for evening
dress.
The new fur-lined circulars are made
with deep collar of fur instead of the
hood of last winter. and all a trif1e
shorter, to enable them to be worn with
the short costumes.
Garnet and pink are the leading COM
blnation OF colors for evening dress. No
shades are more inviting in assistance
to the complexion. A great deal of
tilmy white lace or gauze de sole is in
dlspensable with such costumes for
young ladies.
A. is averred by dealers that ladies
who own fine diamonds purchase and
wear numbers of paste stones in hand :
some settings, to enchance the splendor
OF their display. The white topaz, found
IN Arizona and Idaho, is frequently set
with real diamonds to make show.
Princess dresses for evening have the
'front.' slashed in deep points from below
the hips, edged with feathery fringe,
falling over satin of q deonor oho5a

are the proper trimming for such hats,
which are rather more stylish abroad
than the dressy turbans.
Flowers are worn with evening toilets
IN every fashion. A bouquet is tucked
IN the lace at right of the low, round
corsage, or on the Grecian bertha di-
rectiiy IN front. In other designs,
smaller knots are worn as epaulets. and
a rose heads the lacing in the back of
the cuirass basque, or dozen roses of
graduated sizes form Gordon from the
left shoulder across the bosom. This
is particularly rich, with black lace or
satin dresses. A festoon of roses heads
the deep lace of the apron, with a trail
falling at each side, or spiral of lace
headed by flowers is carried down the
back of the dress, in a new and elegant
fashion.

BY the suddenness and violence OF its effects
Sell-evident as this proposition would seem
there are many foolish persons who are con-
tent only with remedy that acts abruptly.
The pill and other nostrum vendors who trade
upon the credulity of this class, find their
"best holt" as poor Artemus Ward termed it,
in the sale of violent purgatives. So long as
they wrench the bowels of their dupes suhi-
GENTLY, they are pretty sure of certain meas
ure OF success If instead OF such perncous
rubbish, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is used,
the results are widely different. The bowels
are relieved, but always gently, by this pleas
ant laxative, which does not weaken but in
vigorates them, and endows the cooperative
organs of digestion and bilious secretion with
activity and regularity, strengthens the con-
stitution and physique, and while it is safe
in its constituents, is sufficiently prompt in
nneratinn.

There is Always Rcom at the Top.

Daniel Webster once SAID to young strug-
Cling lawyer: "Toung mun, seek for eminence
in your callihg-there's always room at the
top" This remark has passed into popular
provcrb, and has received another illustration
in the wonderful success OF the "95 Per Cent
Sterling Rubber Boot" When the Candee
Co. first put these goods on the market,
the,e was general prediction OF failure, on
account of the relative high price necessarily
asked for n boot of such quality. But the
utter worthessness OF all other rubber boots
had filed the community with Indignation,
and the tact that the company had themselves
faith enough in the goods to give three
months warrant on them, and to stamp that
warrant on the boots, and to provide place
for permanent record OF the date of sale so as
to fix the duration OF the warrant, showed a
degree OF confidence and good faith which
tempted buyers to give the boots trial.
And a trial so fully demonstrated the great
worth and economy OF the boots, that they
are gradually displacing all the cheaper goods.
Solid merit always wins.

The African HOney-Bird,

The honey-bird is about as large as n
gray mocking-bird, and is of similar
color. 1t endeavors to attract the atten-
ton of travellers and to induce them to
follow it. When it succeeds thus far, it
almost invariably leads the person who
follows tc nest of wild bees. While
un the route it keeps up an incessant
twittering, rs if to assure its follower of
success, and often alights on the ground
or bush and looks back to see if the
person is still in pursuit.
The native Africans, when conducted
by the bird, frequently answer its twit-
tering with u whistle as they proceed,
for the purpose of signifying 10 their
conductor that they are still following Z.
When the bird arrives at the hollow
tree or other place where the honey is
deposited, it hovers over the spot,
points at the deposit with its bill,
and perches on neighboring bush or
tree to await its share of the plunder.
This is the usual termination of the ad.
venture. But sometimes the honey
bird seems TO be actuated by love of
mischief, and then instead of leading
the traveller to bees nest, it conducts
him to the lair of some wild beast, and
then flies away with twittering which
sounds something like laughter. Cor
don Cumming, 1.-The lion killer" once
followed honey-bird which conducted
him to the retreat of huge crocodile /;
and, having introduced the traveller to
this august presence, the little feathered
Joker took hasty leave, evidently much
delighted with the success of his trick.

"A cave in Eastern Tennessee is two
miles in length, and has openings at both
ends. The owner of the ground around
each entrance charged for admission, and
acted as guide for visitors. The rivalry
led to serious fights in the cave, for each
held the other to be a trespasser. Then
one Of the contestants hit upon a novel
and effective means of running the others
business. He sunk shaft 80 as to admit
a large stream into the cave at about the

favorable direction, the water poured out
at the enemy's portal, while his own was
unobstructed. The matter is to be made

No trace of hawking is to be found in
the Egyptian paintings. The use of the
hawk species for the purpose of lowllng
appears to have been unknown to the
Egyptians, as also to the Asiatics.
From their early contact with the
Egyptians it might have been expected
that the Jews would have acquired a
taste for hunting. But this does not ap.
pear to have been the case. They had
no doubt, occasion to destroy the beasts
of prey for the protection of their flock,
and herds. From the legend of Samson,
and the statement ascribed to David that
he had slain lion and bear, and the
story of Benaiah, who is said to have
slain a lion in pit in time of snow, it
would appear that lions, though there is
no reason to suppose them to have been
numerous, were occasionally troublesome
in Judea. Several allusions in the Bible
also shows that the various devices for
taking both ground and winged game
were not unknown to the Jews, and the
express enumeration of harts, roebucks
and fallow deer, among the provisions
daily Supplied for the household and
table Of Solomon, shows that game of
this description was not wanting in Ju-
dea, and that its capture was not neg.
lected. But there is nothing to lead US
to suppose that hunting or fowling was
generally pursued rs an amusement, or
on an extensive scale, as in Egypt or
Assyria. The prohibition as to eating
the flesh of certain animals, as the wild
swine, the hare and the coney, elsewhere
the objects of pursuit, but forbidden by
the Jewish law, no doubt OH the snppo.
sition that their flesh was unwholesome
to man-though we are at loss to see
why the flesh of an animal which chews
the cud but does not divide the hoof
should necessarily be unfit for man, and
still more so to account for the lawgiver
having fallen into the mistake of sappos-
ing that the hare and coney were ami
mails which chewed the cud-may have
tended to check the practice of hunting,
the pursuit of the hare and the wild boar,
especially the former, forming generally
so large portion of the hunters occupa-
ton. 1t does not appear from the Bible
that the Jews availed themselves of the
service of the dog in the pursuit Of game.
Possibly the prohibition contained in the
seventeenth chapter of Leviticus against
eating the flesh of any animal that had
been torn may have led to the non.use of
the dog, serious drawback to the sue
cess of the hunter. and which would ne.
cessitate the use of the snare, the trap
and the pittall in substitution for the
chase.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, November 8.
Some excitement prevails in political
circles over tho discovery that Robert
McKenna, one of the ten Republicans
elected to the Legislature from this coun-
ty, is ineligible, having been convicted
ofincest for marrying his wife's grand
daughter. McKenna was pardoned by
Governor John G. Brown four years ago,
but it is claimed he has never applied to
be restored to the rights Of citizenship
and that he is therefore disqualified from
holding Office. It is stated that the GER
tihcate will be given to w. B. Wisiston, q
Democrat; who received the next highest
vote. This change may possibly deter
mine the selection of a United States Sen
ator, as the complexion of the Legisla-
ture is very close.
