Something Good,

When over the fair fame of friend or foo
The blight of deep disgrace shall fall, instead
OF words OF blame, or proof of thus and 50,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow-being yet
MAY fall so low but love may lit his head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet,
If something good be said.
No pitying heart may vainly turn aside
In ways OF charity; no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorihed,
If something good be said.
And so 1 charge ye, by the thorny crown,
And by the cross on which the Savior bled,
And by your own souls hope of fair renown,
Let something good be said!

nd.ShOwers in China.

Every year witnesses curious sand
showers in China when there is neither
cloud nor fog in the sky, but the sun is
scarcely visible, looking very much as
when seen through smoked glass. The
air is filed with a fine dust, entering
eyes, nostrils and mouth, and often
causing serious diseases ofthe eye. This
dust, or sand, as the people call it, pene-
trate houses, reaching even apartments
which seem securely closed. 1t is sup
posed TO come from the great desert of
Cobb, as the sand of the Sahara is
taken up by whirlwinds and carried
hundreds of miles away. The Chinese,
while sensible to the personal discom-
fort al ising from these showers, are re-
signed to them from a conviction that
they are a great help to agriculture.
They say that year of numerous sand
showers is always year OF great fer
till y. The sand probably imparts some
enriching elements to the soil, and il
also tends TO loosen the compact allu'
vial matter Of the Chinese valleys. 1t is
possible that these showers may bt
composed OF microscopic insects, like
similar showers which have been noticed
in the Atlantic ocean.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.


EtChuSs
The lichu is very conspicuous tea-
ture in summer toilets, and appears
in various ways. Sometimes it is made
of the dress material, and forms the
drapery on the bosom; when made OF
white muslin, and very small, it takes
the place of collar or frill; again, Ithe |
large shawl-shaped fichus of white lace |
and null are used to complete water
ing-place toilets; and the fichu-man- |
tie of black lace, Surah, or camePs-hair !
is the fashionable wrap for city streets |
or drives. The fichu as part of the dress |
trimming is especially pretty on thin
muslin. grenadine, or light silk dresses. |
For such purposes it is made of four
folds of the material cut bias, and edged
at the top and bottom with narrow
plating, or else a ruffle of the goods
taken double. This passes around the
back of the neck, and extends down the
fronts as far as the top OF the darts,
where it is rounded off, or else it may be
heightened so that the ends will be con-
cealed under the belt. A ruffie of lace
or a linen collar is worn around the neck.
Very small fichus of white soft null are
made with a point behind, are turned
over at the top, and rounded in front;
they are then edged with lace two inch
es wide, and this lace is also put on the
upper part, which is turned down, thus
making two rows in the back, When
completed this fichu is scarcely larger
than lady's pocket handkerchief folded
triangularly, and is worn close and high
about the throat, dispensing with the
warm linen collar or the full ruff of lace.
1t is cool and D leasant for summer wear,
and is very dressy. Ladies who make
braid laces, and who do fanciful pat
terms of tatting, make this small fichu
without muslin, and entirely of the tat
ting or lace. The shawl-shaped muslin
hchus are large enough to reach nearly
to the elbows, are quite straight and
closet ing across the back, and have
ends loosely tied in front. They are
shaped by a seam in the back, where a
sloJed piece is set in. The upper part
/ of the fichu is turned down very broad
| ly and when trimmed with wide lace it
meets the row of lace ON the lower edge.
1his is the prettiest wrap Tor wearing
with white dresses and the white gypsy
hats that are now trimmed with muslin
and lace.
White silk-muslin fichus are made to
use instead of laces with dressy toilets,
and are trimmed with mbroidery OF
white silk done on the muslin. New
| black tichus, to be worn in the same
way, are of transparent square meshes,
| like those of grenadine, and are bright
ened by being elaborately wrought with
| iridescent beads and gold threads. The
Spanish lace fichus are popularity worn
both in black and white laces, and in
the small sizes like mere collarettes, a:
well as the large mantillas. .-Bdzar.

A beginning is about to be made, says
Mature, TO carry out Lieutenant Wey-
precht's proposal for a circle of observ
ing stations around the north polar
region. The Danish government has
resolved to establish a station at Uper-
nivik, in West Greenland; the Russian
government has granted "a subsidy for
an observatory at the mouth OF the
Lena, and another on the New Siberian
islands; Count Wilczek is to detray the
expenses OF a station on Nova Zembla
under the direction of Lieutenant Wey-
precht; the United States signal service
under General Meyer, has received per-
mission to plant an observatory at Point
Barrow, in Alaska; and it is expected
that Canada will have similar estab.
lishment on some point on her Arctic
coast. Al the Hamburg conference it
was announced that Holland would
furnish the funds for station in Spitz-
bergen; and tits expected that Norway
will have an observing post on the ex-
tremity of the province of Finmark.
This is a good beginning, and it is hoped
that some sort of agreement will be es-
tablished to have all the observations
made after a uniform method, otherwise
their value will be greatly decreased.

Fashion Notes.

Bead collars increase in popularity.
Japanese pongee is a summer nov
city.
Children continue to wear single piece
dresses.
Soft silk sashes are finished at the ends
with tassels.
Cheese cloth dresses are worn again
this summer.
Partisan dressmakers combine cotton
goods with silk.
Heavy box plat I'd Hounces to the knee
are much worn.
Trousers under the skirt are univer-
sally worn by equestriennes.
White foulards with black polka dots
make very stylish toilets.
Surtouts have the front breadths cut
away to show the trimming on the un-
derskirt.
Silk fans with long ivory handles and
Hat borders of feathers are cheap this
summer.
Grenadine dresses often have the front
breadths entirely covered with t1ounces
of French lace.
Cheap satin is the best material for
trimming cheap wooden suits. 1t is not
so likely to fade as silk.
Bead embroidery on black net is used
to trim kid waists, or else satin pipings
and cascades of lace.
The Black Forest bows of black silk,
which supersede the Alsatian, are espe-
cially becoming to fair-haired girls.
Shirring is more used than at any
previous season for the front of dress
skirts, but is now shirred horizontally
in wide clusters instead of lengthwise,
as it was formerly.
Panels at the sides of skirts are now
more often plated than plain. The
plaits are lengthwise side plaits, and
sometimes one large round knot is TIED
on these plaits about half way down
the skirt. Shirred panels are also sed

The frequency of stammering in the
south of France is found, on investiga-
tion, to equal twelve or thirteen cases in
every 1000 of the population, while in
the eastern departments the proportion
is only one 10 that number. 1t has
been assumed that the defect was, in
many instances, stimulated to avoid
military CONSUMPTION, but according to
the Able Petitote there are two districts
in the Bouches du Rhone where all the
Inhabitants some 1900 stammer.
He ascribes this to long-continued in

says that the growth of that organ is
greatest in the first and second years of
Lille. At the end of the second year it is
doubled in size, and during the next
i've years it is again doubled. Then its
growth is much slower, though from
the fifteenth to the twentieth year its
size increases two-thirds. A very slight
growth is then observed up to fifty,
when it gradually diminishes. Except
in childhood, mems hearts are decided y

Origin Of the Horseshoe Superstition.

In very early times, says q writer in
BatdsOin's Monthly, among the Celtic
race, an effigy of the patron saint, so
common in churches and temples, was
much used in the dwellings and work.
shops of the people, as a so-called "pro-
lection" against i'll fortune. The
glory" above the head of these fig-
ures-which latter was often rudely
carved in wood and painted-was repre-
sented by a circular piece of polished
metal, to convey the effect of the shin
ing halo, or nin,bus, frequently seen in
illustrations of the Virgin and other
Scripture subjects. Often this metal
ninabus was of semi-circular form; and.
after the figure itself had disappeared,
by reason of decay, the nin,bus remain
ed and was suspended in some promi-
nent place at the entrance-door, or 9TH
er point commanding view. The eff
giles in question were not uncommonly
seen by the side of the doorway. In
course OF time the nin,bus was much used
as a substitute for the latter and was sold
in the shops for this purpose.
The tradition of "good luck" as en-
bodied in the horseshoe theory, NAV
thus be easily traced, since it became a
common occurrence, in due course of
time, for the faithful adherent of the
belief in charms and symbols, to adopt
the horseshoe worn to brightness. in
the absence of any other, which he
nailed over his cottage-door. Hence a
piece OF metal of this shape became as
sociated in the common mind with SUI
pernatural presence and care, in keep
ing with the belief attaching to the
original figure of the patron saint.
