A Male Critic.


After man reaches thirty-five and
goes beyond it, he is apt to be too criti-
cal, and scans a pretty face as coolly as
he does statue or painting. To my
mind the most wonderful, rarest coun-
tenance is not mere beauty or regularity
of outline, or dazzling complexion the
most beautiful, charming woman in the
world is she who has what you call an
eloquent face. One that reflects every
emotion, as the limpid water shows back
the changing cloud, the passing object.
Such face is never-ending charm it
allures, it fascinates and portrays in turn
the feeling of the heart. 1t is sweetly
tender, self-loving, sympathetic, and
enslaves by its very variety. We can
imagine the star-eyed sorceress of the
Nile, radiant with love, as her mail-clad
Antony came within reach of her sculp-
tured arms. Such face had La VALERIE,
who held the tickle, fair and false Louis
in bondage, and defied all other danes
of the old noblesse.- Washington Capt.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.


Whlle the fantastic stocking has not
been entirely thrown out of the wardrobe
effects OF the woman of fashion, saws a
New York paper, it is evident to the
most casual observer that the stockings
OF this summer are less ornate and less
decofatlve IN their general effect than
those of a year ago. Perhaps the most
- sss,iorsd the otis 20 ~ eaf
or the pair madsnAnE stockingF3
are Invariably plain, and 81 elk and fine
Isle thread. The use OF Isle thread
hosiery has in n great measure SUPER
seeded that of silk. Not that silk stock
ings are or ever will be out of date, but
the less expensive and cooler, more
washable, and pretty Isle thread hosiery
is found more economical and more at
tainable in fact by the many. The
fastidious few, however, cling to the silk
stocking for full dress purposes. Taste
IS divided at the moment between stock
ings il plain colors and hair-lined
stripes. Frequently the hair lines are
produced simply in the weaving or knit
ting of delicate line of open or dropped
stitches down the entire length of the
stocking.
As costumes en- suite are almost de-
rlgeur, there is abundant provision for
matching the striped bayadere and
plaided dress fabrics in large supplies of
hosiery in Rome. Algeria, and bayadere
stripes to match the suits. The clocked

ing color, and the embroidery and open
clocking over the instep, though not SO
fashionable as formerly, are not unfre-
quently seen; but this kind of ornamen-
tation is on the decline.
For the most dressy occasions there
are stockings of silk in high finish and
high colors, as we'll as in black, pearl

More bizarre and odd fancies are pro
vided for in silk stockings in all shades
of color, embroidered in designs Of
game cards, clubs, spades. hearts, and
diamonds, with their kings, queens, and
knaves in the card colors. Variety in
color in hosiery seems to have reached
its climax this season, stockings running
through all the clock and neutral shades,
the grays, fawns, ecrus, and blues, tc
the reds, yellows, and mauves, and the
intermediate shades and mixtures now
in vogue.

ADnuehter,s Affection.

She is the delight of her parents at
home, their pride abroad, the solace of
their labor and their cares, and the an
ticipated hope and Joy of their declin-
ing lives. The love of offspring, the
most forcible of all our instincts, is
even stronger toward the female than
the male child. 1t is wise that it should
be so-it is more wanted it is just that
it should be so-it is more requited.
There is no pillow on which the head of
parent, anguished by sickness or by sor-
row. can so sweetly reEose as on the bosom
of an affectionate daughter. Her atten-
tions are upceasing. Even after her marri-
age her htial affections are unfrn paired
she may give hc~ haA5~Zd her heart to
her husband, but Still sne may share her
cares and attention with her parents,
without pang of jealousy or dis
trust from him. He only looks on them
as the assured pledges of h,r fidelity,
and the unerring evidences of a good
disposition.

Shell Lime.

There is no better way to utilize shells
than to burn them. Shell lime is more
valuable as fertilizer than rock lime,
as it contains other minerals besides
lime. But lime itself is of little value
as direct fertilizer, yet for reducing
other substances to an available condi-
ton for food for plants it is useful. 1t
renders stiff, clayey soil more friable
and liberates salts of soda and potash,
making fertilizers OF them. Many a
barren clay soil contains all the ele-
ments necessary for fertility, which, on
account of their combinations, are not
available. An application of lime de-
composes the clay and liberates the salt.
Mixed with muck from swamp meadows
it combines with the acids and decom-
poses the vegetable matter, making an
excellent manure. On lands where
night soil has been continuously used
it will aid in producing good crops if
spread broadcast ON the land.
