fall goods.
Fanchan and Normandy breakfast
caps are favorites.
Long mits are the favorite hand wear
at the moment.
Small broken checked suitings and
plaids will be worn.
Women with long, stick-like arms
should not wear tight, long sleeves.
White lace over-colored satin is the
latest relief for black dresses in Lon
don.
Open work embroidery is an effective
trimming on mauve, lemon, pink and
blue Surah.
In England mourning is worn only
one year for the nearest relatives and
Grape but six months.
Terra Gotta in all shades from dark
salmon to deep copper is the favorite
color for early fall cashmeres.
The lawn tennis striped suitipgs so
fashionable this season have lent an ef-
feet to the new fall goods.
New plush goods have extremely long
pile, which is cut in irregular depth, to
form the figures of the fabric.
Button, low-quartered OF half boots
will be the leading shoes until the mid
die of September or first of October.
Plaid, striped and shaded goods will
be combined with plain or self-colored
fabrics in the compositi on of the earlies
fall dressed.
Heavy satins in rich shades of color,
with stripes of long pile plush or che
nile, will be used for the most expen-
sive dress accessories.
The earliest water-color designs of
dresses for fall show no decided depar-
ture from the general makeup of cos
tunes worn this season.
Plated collarettes of null, plain
white and dotted, lace-edged, embroid-
cred and perfectly plain, are much
worn, with scarf bows to match.
Some of the new silk goods show
moire stripes alternating with stripes of
brocaded or damask flowers and leaves
encroaching on the edges of the MORE
stripe.
The special novelty in fchus is the
addition of long ends of wing-like shape
to designs made of null and lace. In
some cases these ends reach nearly TO
the knee and are narrow.
Longitudinal stripes in bright colors,
with gold and silver hair line effects,
crossed diagonally with stripes formed
in the weaving OF the fabric, make one
of the features of the new fall goods.
A handsome novelty to be worn with
a dressy costume is the pocket sash,
made of black satin de Lyon, and either
tied in bow or simply knotted at the
left side. The broad ends are formed
each into fiat pocket, on which there
is hand painting of poppies, daises
and corn flowers, The edges of the

1t is said that the presence of glucose
in sugar can be detected in this way {:
Take handful of the mixture and drop
it into glass of cold water. Stir it q
ew minutes, and you will note that the
cane sugar is entirely dissolved, leaving
the grape sugar undissolved at the
bottom of the glass, in the form Of
white, sticky substance not at all unlike
starch in looks, and quite bitter to the
taste. IT won't do to use hot water in
your test, however, for if you do the
whole thing will dissolve"

A RllE FOR A WIFE.

Did you ever ride a mule? / don't
mean a civilized creature accustomed to
good society, but wild steed of the
plains brought up on the grass and
rattlesnakes, and accustomed to cavort
regardless of the constitution as amend
ed, or the rights of man. Mules are
pretty much alike the world over, only
the Texas mule is little more so.

foot well-I mean my love, not the girl
she isn't deep bit--and as my luck
would have it, another fellow fell about
the same distance at the same time.
He's not bad looking chap, and
wears store clothes on week days. He
parts his hair in the middle, and oils it
up with bergamot and cinnamon. He
has his name printed on pieces of paste
board and drops them around promiscu.

walked over to the gals house, intend
ing to move on her works, and have the
little thing settled without further de-
bate. My rival was there, and seemed
to have on his. best clothes. That didn't
amount to much, for knew that at ten
o'clock, six hours after my arrival, he'd
have to wend his winding way home,
for the old lady he boarded with didn't
allow irregular hours.
If he got to his frugal couch, or rather
the house containing it, he might skin
his knuckles and kick his boots off, but
he wouldn't get in after that hour, and
the haymow is not a very pleasant bed

Araminta is possessed of little
brother-I hate girls brothers II they
are little they play tricks on you, and if
they are big they borrow your money,
get drunk, and insult you with impu-
nifty, knowing that you are in love with
the sister and won't resent an insult.
While we were talking in o small way,
and looking volumes of love at the girl
and wrath at each other, we heard n
fearful yell in the garden patch, and
running out, found little brother on the
ground in active convulsions. He had
been trying to eat his way through the
melon patch. II was disgusting fail
pre, for he could not have burstod open
and gone into the contents of more than
ten or twelve.
As it was, il looked as if there was
going to be death in the family, and
Araminta screamed scream and yelled
at us to run for doctor
We both took in the situation at
glance-the man that got the doc

Waiting,

Will the slow weeks never goi
Hark the curCsw ringeth low;
Into twilight soft and gray
Melts at last the weary day;
Once again the night is here.
Are you thinking Of me, dear2
All day long my heart has heard
just one softly-whispered word
All day long your name has como
To me through the busy hum
Everywhere in hall and street
You have :arried with me, sweet.
In the faces of the crowd,
In the cries that echo loud,
All throughout the hurrying throngs,
All amid the strife of tongues,
Nothing have heard or seen
Save your voice, your face, my queen.
Other women come and go,
Other voices whisper low,
Other eyes grow dim or bright,
Shed or veil their changeful light;
But l stand apart, alone,
Waiting still for yo ], my own.
All ! that waiting. Do you feel,
Darling, as the slow days steal
Silent, one by one away,
How my heart must yearn and pray
For the touch of lips and hand?
Darling, do you understandP
In the daily strife and stress
Do you see the foes that press
Close and hard within, without ?
All the dread and all the doubt,
All the fears that clasp and cling,
All the bitter questioning?
Fast though with no clash of swords,
Gather all those phantom hordes
And my soul, as falls the night,
Seems to lose her wonted might,
Shrinks before the dusky crew,
Prays and long and yearns for you.
Must l always watch and wait,
Exiled, famished, at your gate2
VIII you not be braYe and come
Ere the pleading lips be dumb
Ere within the weary eyes
Hopes last glimmer fades and diea
All dear heart, be strong, be true
Bee, kingdom waits for you
High above all stain or seattle
Floats loves banner, shines loves faith
Enter on your reign screnel
Come my own my love my queen

TWO ROSES.

/ send two roses to my. fair
A red one and q white
And II she loves nj" she will wear
The pure white rose tonight;
But If my love deny me grace.
To bid my hope be dead,
Upon her bosom viii she place
The fatal one-the red:
In hope and fear the day spend;
Each moment slowly goes.
For all my future doth depend
Upon simple reae.
'Oh, that the night woald come" sigh.
Then wish 'twere only noon.
For me. If hope be doomed to die,
The night will come too soon.
She comes! and with her comes breath
OF roses on the air.
And be it life or be 1t death,
Hook upon my fair.
l see the white rose in her breast,
The red rose on her cheek;
What need of words to tell the rest,
So plain these roses speak.

And Of all the lands I've travelled o'er, tits thu

Where the willows weep and the roses sleep
and the balmy breezes blow,
In that dear old land, that sweet old land

But oh. alas! how can 7 sinr9 tits an exil,

And the very Joys thite NIL my breast mus,

For that dear old land, that sweet old land

But I'll sing Of the lonely old churchyardi
whore our fathers bones are laid
Where the cloisters stsnd, those ruins grand
that our tyrant foes hays made:

of his early doom, and his youthful bloom
and his spirit moro than brave;
And. ali how blest and calm his rest. though
his grave be cold and low,
In that dear old land. that sweet old land
where the beautiful rivers now.
And I'll sing Of Tone and the Geraldine, proud
Edward true and blest-
They won the crown-the martyrs crown--and
they sleep In shade and rest,
In heavenly mould their names are rolled
they died in nanhood's glow,
For that dser old land. that sweet old land

And I'll sing Of IreIand's ancient days, when
her sires were k.ngly men.
Who led the chase and the manly race through

Whose only word was the shining sword

PAPA's -cOaIxa cone.

The cloth Is spread. so snowy white,
The tableware is clean and bright,
The day has waned, ills almost night,
And papa's coming home!
With hOmely food the tables graoed,
A careful mothers hand is traced;
A flower bud in her hair is placed,
For papa's coming home!
The house Is tidied up with care,
The children washed. and combed their hair.
And placed his slippers by his chair,
For papa's coming home!
They hang around the garden gate,
And watch and watch. the clock strikes eight
He soon will come. IT'S getting late,
And papa's coming home!
He turns the corner Of the street;
They see him and they run and meet,
And soon their loving smiles him greet,
For papa's coming home!
