Summer Dresses.

Leaders of fashion, with their craving
for variety, are already protesting
against the use of figured fabrics to such
an extent that Paris dressmakers send
to the modistes here dresses of plain
surface and solid color. This is espe-
cially noted in the use of sewing-silk
grenadines in preference to brocaded
ones. and of plain Surah silk instead OF
figured silk, also in the attempt to re-
vive taffela, which is always plain and
lustrous. The most elegant black
dresses this season are of the plain sew
ing-silk grenadines, trimmed elaborately
with black lace in which gilt threads
are thickly interviewer, or else with
open trimmings entirely o. jet, or per-
haps with fine embroidery done on
grenadine for hounces' and panels:
Spanish laces over colors, especially red
or yellow, are also used for trimming
black grenadines. The square-meshed
canvas grenadines is liked for parts of
dresses that are completed by Surah, or,
if figures are not objected to, 0y very
rich brocaded grenadines that have
smooth ground of satin luster, with
large, open worked figures. The plain
canvas grenadine in such com hinations
| is used for three or four narrow plated
| frills at the foot, and these are sewed
directly on the black silk skirt used for
the foundation. There are then pyra-
mids of such plaitings up each side, or
only up the front. Folded plaitings OF
the pain grenadine are then laid like "A
diagonal scarf across the front and sides
above this is the apron of brocade, and
the hooped drapery of the back is also
bfocade. Rows of jetted fringe laid
on knife-plaitings that pass up the sloes
or front add to the rich effect. Another
caprice is that of lining the waist OF
black grenadine dresses with red OF
yellow silk, and omitting it in the skirt.
This gives touch OF color, and makes
the difference between waists and
skirts that are now so popular. A very
narrow plating of red Surah should be
set under the lowest row of black plait'
ing around the skirt of such dresses, the
sash belt may also be lined with red
and there may be one or two large TO
settes of black with gay lining set on
the ides.-HGTper'S Bdzdr.

Our Ships at Sea.

How many of us have ships at sea,
Freightod with wishes, and hopes, and fears
Tossing about on the waves, while we
Lingcr and wait on the shore for years,
Gazing ainr through the distance dim
AwMighing, will ever our ships come in 3?
~sent them away with laughter and song,
The decks were white, and the sails were
now,
The fragrant breezes bore them along,
The sen was calm and the skies were blue,
Aud we thought as we watched them sail
away
OF the JOY they would bring us some future
day.
Long have VIC watched beside tho shore
To catch the gloam OF a coming sail,
But we only hear the breakers roar
Or the sweeping night winds dismal wall,
Till our cheeks grow pale, and our eyes grow
dim,
And we sadly Sigh, viii they ever come in :?
OH poor sad heart, with its burden OF cares,
Its aims defeated, its worthless life
That has garnered only the thorns and the
tares,
Tint is scared and torn in the pitilul strife
Afar on the heavenly golden shore
Thy ships are anchored for ever more.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
ParisIan Marriages.

The Partisan, an American paper
published in Paris, says: Our lady
readers will perhaps be interested to
know how n grand marriage is arranged
at Paris. The preliminaries are gener-
ally arranged between the two families
with the help of the notaries; less often
the marriage is more romantic and
springs purely from love, in which case
the traditional steps of courtship and
marriage are much modified. Suppos-
ing, however, that marriage has been
recognized as advisable between the two
families the first thing to do is to ar
range an interview between the young
folks. For this purpose some neutral
ground is generally chosen--a reception
at friends house, a concert, ball and
the theaters. The opera is preferred by
the world of fashion; the opera comique
is popular with the bourgeoise and the
provincials. The young man sits in the
orchestra and the young girl dressed in
her best, is placed in front of box.
Between the acts the young man pays q
visit to the box and is presented. The
next day he pays visit to the father
and makes q formal demand of the
young lady's hand. 1fit is accepted, he
begins to pay court to the young girl.
Every udy, a. lLlS oIdgO W plOOCOulhSo,
the young man is admitted to the house
of his future wife as if he were one of
the family.
He is called by his .Christian name.
The day after the accordailles," or his
acceptation by the family, he presents
his future wife with ring, always the
same ole pearl or two pearls mounted
with two diamonds. You may see
these rings by the score in the jewelers.
shops. Every day, too, he sends bou-
ouet~ of flowers. Nowadays these
bouquets are splendid and cost a small
fortune, for it is the custom to envelop
them with lace, which is sometimes re.
placed by watered ribbon, on which the
name OF the young girl is embroidered
In ariUtocratic families the first person
to whom the marriage is announced is
the pope, who sends his benediction by
telegraph, on the day of the ceremony
at the church. The mother, accom-
panied by her daughter, visits her
friends in order to inform them of the
happy news. In Madam de Sevigne's
days young girls wedding trousseau
contained only three dresses. In the
year of grace, 1880, a wedding trousseau
in high life is q very grand affair, ano
comprises twelve dresses, all made W
with stockings, shoes, sun shades ano
Ii ITS to match. The trousseau, together
with the linen, is worth from 10000 tc
| SO, coo francs In the trousseau OF the
| Princess Isabella de Groy, the wife o
the Archduke Frederick of Austria, al
the linen is counted by the gross. There
are twelve dozens of everything.

A New Wrinkle That Eclipses all Pre-
vlous Dead Beat Stories.

From the Cleveland Herald.
Talk about your hotel BEATS" said a
clerk in one of the hotels Of the city the
other evening, 81 heard Of one of the
toughest cases which happened a short
time ago. got the first part Of the story
from the proprietor Of prominent res.
taurant, to whom the fellow told history
of the affair before he left the town. He
said that one evening this fellow came in
and sat down to table, giving his orders
with the air Of millionaire. He was
well dressed, and wore long handsome
ulster. After he had finished his supper
he started out, seeming to forget that he
hadn't paid. The proprietor stopped him
with reminder of the fact, when it was
found that the fellow was beat, and
hadn't cent of money. The restauranter
was angry, and about to administer dose
of leather beneath the tails of that elegant
ulster, when the fellow begged off, and
said he would leave his pantaloons with
the proprietor as security till morning.
The gentleman, in order to test him, cen
sented, and the fellow went behind the
screen and divested himself Of the afore-
mentioned garment, leaving only the light
covering of his undercothing. With his
ulster buttoned close around him, he still
had the appearance of q finely dressed
gentleman with his pantaloons stuffed in
his boot tops. He left his breeches and
went out. Entering a certain prominent
hotel, he walked to the register, entered
his name, demanded to be shown TO his
room, and instructed the clerk to have
him called at 8 o'clock in the morning, all
! of which was complied with; but when
| the boy called him at o'clock the air
about that room was blue with profanity,
and the fellow ordered the boy to send
the landlord up Immediately. The land.
lord thinking something terrible had
happened, Immediately repaired to the
room and found his guest apparently in a
terrible rage. He wanted to know what
kind of ID house they kept there,
full Of petty thieves. Just look here,
said he, my pantaloons containing my
pocket book and watch are gone, and
some one connected with this house took
them, for they must have crawled in over
the transom. l tell you by, I'll give
this place away to every man on the 10 I'd.
The landlord was considerably chagrlned
about the matter, and sent out for pair
of pantaloons. and as the rest of the
chothes were very elegant, an elegant
pair was purchased. The fellow was
then taken to breakfast and shown the
best attention the house could afford.
After breakfast the landlord gave him $40,
as he had to leave no stone unturned until
the thief was discovered. The cute young
gentleman went to the restaurant, re-
deemed his pants, told the story: and

A CEMENT OR GLUE.-D;ssolve Ave or
SIX bits of mastic IN as much spirits OF
wine as will make them liquid. In an
other vessel dissolve as much isinglass
previously soaked IN water till softened)
in rum or barndy as will make 2 ounces
by measure of strong glue, add two bits
Of gum galbanum or ammoniacum, which
must be rubber or ground till dissolved.
Mix the whole with sufficient heat, and
keep the composition in bottle well
corked. When to be used, set the bottle
in hot water. An excellent cement.
BEST WATER FOR PLANTs.-It is we'll
known that rain-water is far better than
spring water for pronoGng the growth OF
plants; this is from the former containing
that which Is necessary ingredient IN
their formation--namely, ammonia, and
which is abundant IN liquid manure. The
efficacy Of this may be soon developed by
sprinkling one half OF a grass plot with
spring water, in which pounded carbon
ate of ammonia (about one ounce % the
gallon has been dissolved; the former will
keep it alive, but the latter will give it
vigor and luxuriance.
CURE FOR DIARRHoEA.-The small
plant, commonly known by the name
Rupturewort, made into tea, and drank
frequently, is sure cure for this disease.
Rupturevort grows in nearly every open
lot, and along the roads. 1t is small
plant, throwing out number OF shoots
in a horizontal direction, and lying close
to the ground, something similar to the
manner of the Pusleyweed, and bears a
small dark-green leaf, with an oblong
purple spot in the centre. When the stem
is broken, a white milky substance will
ooze from the wound. 1t is very palatable,
and infants take it as readily as any
drink. This is an Old Indian cure, and
may be relied on. The botanical name
Of this plant is Euphorbia Maculata.
MODE OF FIXING PENCIL DRAwINGs.-
Dissolve pale resin In spirits of wine; lay
the pencil drawings on its face upon a
sheet of clean paper, and brush the back
of the drawing with the solution. This
penetrates through the paper in u few
minutes, and as the spirit evaporates the
resin is deposited as a varnish on the
drawing. This has the advantage of not
cooking the paper, which aqueous sola-
tions will do; and as the brush only pass
es over the back of the drawing, none of
the pencil marks are in any degree re-
moved. This process will not answer with
drawings on card, or any other substance
too thick to be penetrated by the solution.
In this case, weak solution of isinglass
may be placed in shallow dish, the draw
ing being passed through it so as to wet
every part without touching it with q
brush.
