siInpIicitY ln Dress.

Our young girls in America do not seem to
have the sense of the beauty of simplicity
in dress. No young girl looks as young or
as lovely in heavy velvsts and loaded
as in simple muslins and soft,
clinging materials. They detract fHom their
own fresh charms by calling attention to
their adornment. | should be inclined to
say that no jewels, unless a single row OF
pearls about the throat, no lace but simple
valenoiennes, should-be worn by any girl
Younger than twenty-one. A dress perfectly
fresh, light in color, (where the complexion
permits beautifully cut, and almost en-
tirely untrimmed, cannot be improved upon

a Gre.t Duches.,. r.aea F,uery.

The old Duchess Of Somerset, the sale of
whose effects took place the other day, had
passion for dress which lasted to the very
end of her life, aud as she held to the opinion
that nothing is too good to wear and nothing
10 too bad to keep, cupboards and drawers
were allied to overdowing, and the whole at
tic story of hsr house in Park street COM
plstely stuffed with dresses. The coronation
robes, worn at the crowping of Queen Vic
toria were there, of crimson velvet, lined
with miniver. Her Grace was wont to have
this robe brought to her once IN three
months, when she would try 1t on and pa
rade before the lookng-glass with as much
delight at her appearance as she must have
felt on the occasion on which it was first
donned. The Dukes coronet was there Of
silver, mounted in gold lace and trimmed
with minjyer, and his garter robes shone
forth in splengor, 9nd then came the relic of
the sentiment which belongs to all alike
the Duke wedding vest, Of white satin, EN-
broidered in silver, and kept by tbs wife
with the same care and reverence as Marl-
borough treasured the lock of Sarah's hair
after SO many years as bright and fresh as
ever. The sale has made . great Impression
in London and called mp stofies Of the dead

The Great Ruby.

The first and most famous of existing
rubies forms part of the Imperial States
crown made for Queen Victoria in 1888, en-
bellished with all the gems left after the
destruction of the regalia during the period
of the Commonwealth, and subsequently
added to by purchases. This ruby, stand
ing in the centre of the Maltese cross, on the
top of the British crown, and the most con-
spicuous gem on it, is believed to be, on
tolerably good authority, the same as that
worn in front of the helmet of King Henry
v at the battle of Agincourt. Unlike famous
diamonds, rubies have no proper names, but
this one in the British crown might be called
the "Agincourt." Its history can be traced
back to the year 1867, when, after the battle
of Niagara, nsar Vittoria, King Pedro of Cas-
tile presented 1t to Edward the Black
Prince" This "Aginconrt," If so it can be
called, has small hole bored through it,
after fashion common in the East, to be
hung by itself round the neck. This hole
is now filled in the front by a small ruby,
to be distinguished only from the stone by
close examination. OF about the same size
as this ruby is another, formerly among the
regalia of Austria, but of the present existence
of which little, II anything, is known. The
Emperor Rudolph II received 1t In 1860 from
his sister. Queen Dowager of France, 1t be-
ing valued at the time at 10000 ducats, or
about $50, 900. II would now probably be
worth not far from half million sterling,
the value of the ruby having increased in
value more than that of any other precious
stone.-Ine Anfiqnary.

Wealth and Mennne ess.

l tell you that, in nine cases out of ten,
great acquired wealth lifts up in monumental
testimony the meanness of its possessor. l
knew two neighbors, old Californians, who
had about equal fortunes. They were both
old settlers, both rich, and both much
respected. In that fearful year, 1852, when
the dying and destitute immigrants literally
crawled on hands and knees over the Sierra
trying to reach the settlements, one OF these
men drove all his cattle up to the mountains,
butchered them, and fed the starving. He
had his Mexicans pack all the mules with
-four, which at that time cost almost its
weight in gold, and push on night and day
over the mountains to meet the strangers
there and feed them, so that they might have
strength to reach his house, where they
could have shelter and rest. The other man,
cold and cautious, saw his opportunity and
embraced 1t. He sat at home and sold all
his wheat and mules and meat. and with the
vast opportunities for turning money to
account in that new country soon became
almost prince in fortune. But his generous
neighbor died beggar in Idaho, where he
had gone to try to make another fortune.
He literally had not money enough to buy
shroud, and AZ he died among strangers by
the roadside he was buried without even so
much as pine board coffin. l saw his grave
there only last year: Some one had set up
rough granite stone at the head. And that
is all. No name--not even letter or date.
Nothing. But that boulder was fashioned
by the hand of Almighty God, and in the
little seams and dots and messy scars that
cover it He can read the rubric that
chronicles the secret virtues Of this lone
dead man on the snowy mountains of Idaho.
The children of the " Prince" :" are in Paris.
Upheld by his colossal wealth their lives
seem to embrace the universal world. He is
my friend. He buys all my books, and reads
every line write. When he comes to this
sketch he will understand it. And he ought
to understand, too, that all the respect,
admiration, and love which the new land
once gave these two men gathers around and
is buried beneath that moss-grOwn granite
stone, and that know, even with all his
show of splendor, that his heart is as cold
and as empty as that dead mans hand

The Four.Leayed Clover.

In Germany there is belief that the
four-leaved clover, on account of its
crossed form, is endowed with magical
virtues. The general form of the super
stition is that one who carries the clover
about him will be able to detect the
presence of evil spirits, and will be sue
cessful at play. In Bohemia it is said
that If a maiden manages to put the leaf
into the shoe of her lover without his
knowledge on going on a journey, he
will return safely. The four-leaf clover
IN various regions is believed to protect
one from witches and keep butter pure,
on which account it is considered a
good form for butter mold.

Cotton and Silk,

The census reports contain many in
teresting facts as to the manufacture of
cotton and silk in this country. OF the
5000, 900 bales of cotton produced at
the South, 1856, ,4S1 bales-consider-
ably more than one-fourth of the whole
product-are manufactured in cotton
fabrics of various kinds in the United
States. OF these fabrics thirty-six per
cent. are made in Massachusetts and
twenty-four per cent. in the other New
England States, making together sixty
per cent. of the American product to be
credited to New England. Magnificent
results have attended the ventures in
cotton manufacturing at the South. Old
mills have been extended and many new
mills are being constructed. Mr.. Walker,
superintendent of the census, thinks
that the figures of 1890 will show won
derful development of the business at
the South, particularly in Georgia. At
present 181, ,628 persons are employed
in this single industry in the United
States. Silk manufacture is of com
paratively recent date in this country,
yet there were last year 383 factories,
having an invested capital of $1S,S99,-
300, and producing annually $34, 4,410,-
4l6 of silk goods. The total wages
paid was SO, 107,S35. These two indus
tries make, according to the superin-
tendent of the census, very gratifying
returns and show a good healthy
growth.

A Woman Farmer.

Mrs. Mary Macutchen, of Lawrence,
Kan, is, according to popular report,
the best farmer of the neighborhood.
Ten years ago she was left widow with
few acres of land and four children.
She went to work, literally putting her
hand to the pillow. Soon she added to
her property by purchase and improve
ment. In 1874 she contracted for an
unimproved farm for 81, 800, which she
gave to one of her boys. She has since
paid for the land from the surplus prod
ucts of her own farm of 100 acres.
Last year she bought farm of $50
acres at the price of $4,000, one
fourth of which she has already paid,
and will pay over the other fourth from
the crops of this year. She works her
farm with the aid of her two sons and
much hired help. This is
good example of what has been done in
the midst of hard times in Kansas by a
widow with a family of children and no
resources.

Eyesight.

Millions blindness was the result of
overwork and dyspepsia. Multitudes of
men orw women have made their eyes weak
for life by too free use of the eyesight,
reading small print, and doing fine sew
ing. In view of these things, it is we'll
to observe the following rules in the
uses of the eyes: Avoid all sudden
changes between light and darkness.
Never begin to read or write or sew for
several minutes after coming from dark
ness to bright light. Never read bv
twilight or moonlight, or on a very
cloudy day. Never read or sew directly
IN front of the light or window or door.
1t is best to have the light fall from
above, obliquely over tho left shoulder.
Never sleep so that on the first waking
the eyes shall open on the light of a
window Too much light creates a
glare, and pains and confuses the sight.
The moment you are sensible of an effort
to distinguish, that moment cease and
take walk or ride. AS the sky is blue
and the earth green, it would seem that
the ceiling should be blush tinge, and
the carpet green, and the walls of some
mellow tint. The moment you are
prompted to rub the eyes, that moment
cease using them. If the eyelids are
glued together on waking up, do not
forcibly open them, but apply the saliva
with the fingers. 1t is the speediest
diluent in the world. Then wash your
lace and eyes In warm water.
