fabrics in the composition OF the fall
dresses.
English spy is the name OF a new color
in Silk stockings intended to wear with
black gowns.
Heavy satin in rich shades Of color,
with stripes Of long pile plush or che
mile, will be used for the most expen-
siye dress acccssories
A pretty way of fastening the straps
across a pulled or shirred waistcoat IS to
fasten them high on one side and low
on tie ether, instead of straight across.
Som u the new silk goods show moire
stripes alternating with stripes OF bro
caded or damask flowers and leaves en-
croaching on the edges of the moire
stripe.
Muslin dresses with embroidered
iiounce3 reaching from belt to hem, and
kerchiefs embroidered to match, are
pretty for the country or for watering
places.
The demand for ostrich feathers has
increased and seems likely to 20 on in
crcasing, for the fall hats are not likely
to be less abounding in plumage than
those now in wear.
White lace stockings are worn over
colJrcd ones Of silk or LIsle thread
matching the dress for evening toilets.
The low slipper displays all the beauty
Of the lace inserted IN the instep or up
the ankles.
The latest tablecloiLs are Of fine
linen monte cloth with fringed edges,
and sham opcnwork six inches above
the fringe. Some intended for lunch
con cloths have color introduced in the
open work and in the fringe.
The latcs. novelties in stockings show
shaded iombrc) effects; for instance, a
shaded stocking has toe Of the most
delicate shell pink tint, shading gradu-
ally to deep crimson on the calf Of the
leg, and again TO shell pink a; the top
where it is sometimes finished with a
lace irill.
The earliest watcr.color designs OF
dresses for fall show no decided depart
ure from the general make up Of cos
tunes worn this season. Plated collar
cites Of null, plain white and dotted,
lace edged, embroidered, and perfectly
plain, are much worn, with scarf bows
% match.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.


Nothing is so good az il seems before
hand.
Love dies Of disgust and is buried by
oblivion.
No man can be wise On an empty
stomach.
He who has lost his honor can lose
nothing more.
There is no grief like the grief that
does not speak.
One ungrateful man Injuries all that
are in distress.
Politeness is the expression or imita-
tion Of social virtues.
Never anything can come amiss when
himpleness and duty tender it.
When one gets so much humility that
he is proud Of 1t, he is just too good to
live.
Deliberate with caution but act with
decision; and yield with graciousness or
oppose with hrmness.
There is no fea!ing, perhaps, except
the extremes Of fear and gricf, that does
not find relief in music.
1t is better to do the most triAing
thing in the world, than 10 think half
an hour Of trAing thing.
Costly followers are not 20 be liked:
lest while a man make,h his train longer,
he makes bis wings shorter.
Men will never know us by our faith,
for that is within us; but they know Us
by our works, which arc visible to them.
There never were in the world two
opinions alike, 10 more than two hairs
or two grains. The most universal
quality is diversity.
Talent is the capacity Of doing any
thing that depends on application and
industry, and it is a voluntary power,
while genius is involuntary.
a man has no right to occupy such
high moral grounds that he is constant

Let q man take time enough for the
most trivial deeds though it be but the
pairing OF his nails The buds swell i'm
perccpubly without huryor confusion;
as if the short spring days were an
eternity.

4 Princess Riding Habit.

The change in the riding habit worn
by the Princess of Wales has been the
subject Of much talk and discussion
among ladies in England, and may be
interesting to horsowomcn here. The
new riding habit is made with 4 short
skirt gored to the knees, 80 that the
position of the rider is safer in the sad
die, being unincumbered with the heavy
folds and useless length Of drapery
hitherto worn. The skirt cannot be
blown about, and is thus prevented
from revealing the foot and ankle,
which can never look graceful when
stretched over the side OF the horse to
reach tho stirrup. The skirt worn by
the princess is not much longer than an
ordinary drawing.room costume, and
light, easily raised by the wearer with
out the danger of causing a stumble,
which 30 continually happens with the
riding habit usually worn.

Best Fruit nj the Top.

oh, the apple trees up in tho orchard
Like wee chubby faces | sec
The russets and pippins, sly peoping,
Between leaves twinkle at mo
And on the crisp breeze, as I'm longing
In vain for the beauties to drop,
A blithe, haunting song seems to whisper,
"The best fruit is found at the top"
Oh, the gnarlod and moss'd boughs upward
tossing
They cradle me now in their arms,
And onward gaze on tho orchard,
The river the uplands and farms.
So gazing far, far out from childhood,

Fame, station, are won but by climbing;

4 Novelty In Money Orders.

Postmaster. General James has hit
upon a plan Of facilitating the trans
mission through the mails at a cheap
rate of small sums Of money. The new
device is an improvement upon the sys-
tenn Of postal orders recently adopted
by the English postal authorities. The
improvement consists of three columns
of figures, one to represent dollars, the
second tens and the third units. Two
denominations Of these orders are to Toe
issucd-one for all sums within $3.50,
and the other for all sums within So.
The - card has four figures and a
cipher in the dollar column and all
the numerals in each of the other
columns. The postmaster selling the
order will designate the amount 20 bc
drawn by punching the figures in the
respective columns. The orders will be
payable TO bearer, and the postoiiice
will not be responsible for their safe de-
livery any more than for fractional cur
rcncy, for which they are intended as a
substitute. Both sets Of orders are
TO be printed on bank-note paper, to be
finely engraved and other precautions
taken against countcrfeiting. II is ex-
pected that the department will be able
to sell them at from two to three cents
for a $3.50 order, and from four TO five
cents for IS order. The postmaster
will enter the amount Of the order in
writing on n stub, which will be the
only check the department will need,
and will contain only the amount Of the
order, the date OF issue and the name Of
the Office upon which the order is
drawn. This will do away with great
deal OF clerical labor, since the names
of the remitter and payee will not he
entered at all in the records as is done
in money order transactions, nor will
any advices be issued. In order to pre-
vent the use OF the postal orders as cur
rency, they are TO he redeemsble only
for three months after date Of issue.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Money at
the last session OF Congress providing
for reduction Of the charges for money
orders and allowing an increase of
amounts that may be sent through the
mails from $50 to 500 will be reiatro.
duced next winter. II met the approval
OF the postoffice committee last winter,
but Mr.. Money did not get a chance TO
report it. The reduction of charges
will be about onc-half and the passage
of the bill viii be coupled with measures
looking TO the adoption of the system
explained above. In this way the two
systems will supplement each other,
money orders being available as now for
any purpose, and the small orders being
for service for newspaper subscriptions
and for other purposes for which frac-
tional currency was formerly used. The
reduction in the price of money orders
will also make the price of safety but a
triile more than that which il will be
necessary TO pay for the proposed new
postal orders. with their attendant

What Ancient Religion, Taught.

Women were admitted to the Grecian
priesthood, slariu : its highest dignities.
In Sparta was law that men should
worship the gods with as little expense
as possible.
OF the Roman Sibyls it is said that
Apollo threw them into a kind Of
ecsiacy in which they could foresee the
future.
With the Greeks, superior power,
no: moral excellence, was the essential
element in their conception of divine
beings.
So fearful were the Athenians that
they should omit the honors Of worship
to some deity, that they even erected
altars to unknown gods.
The Greeks offered sacrifices, but no
prayers to their deities for it was be-
lieved that not even Jupiter himself
could change their inexorable DEGREES.
1t is claimed that Zoroaster received
his book Of laws, the Zenda Vesta, upon
a flaming mount from Ormudz himself;
also that be finally ascended to heaven
on thunderbolt.
The Greeks believed tha; departed
human souls fingered around their
former habi;ations and families to pro-
tect them; aud hence their Lares and
Penates, household gods.
The idea that heavenly luminaries
we're inhabited by spirits of a nsture
intermediate between God and man,
first led mortals to address prayers to
the orbs over which they were supposed
TO preside.
Among the Greeks the unity of God.
the immortal progress and destiny of
the soul, and other sacred doctrines,
were taught in the sanctuary to an in

veiled in symbols.
The Parsees were a prosecuted com
pany OF the followers OF Zoroas.er, who
fed TO India. They are a poor, harm
less people, industrious in their habits
and honest in their dealings. They
worship one God and detest idols.
A sect OF devil worshipers exists
among the Parsees. They believe in
one God also, and that Satan was once
at the head of the angelic host, and will
eventually be restored; hence they think
it well to concilia.e him.
Orpheus, one of the old sages and
bards Of the Greeks, taught that souls
are in this world as punishment OF
sins committed in pre-existent state:
that the body is prison in which the
scul is kept till it faults are expiated.
During the last ten days Of the year
the Parsees believe that the spirits OF
the dead come to the earth 10 visit their
relatives, therefore they never leave their
homes az that season but make great
preparation for their reception.
