TnexorabIe Fashion.
Cincinnati saturday Night.

The lady who attemp' to K p
pace with the fashions, must need be
extremely careful as to every partic-
ular in her costuming, as to cut and
quality of each garment, and rs to
when, bow and where TO wear them.
There are ten thousands laws as
memorable as those of the Modes and
Persians of which fashion demands
obsel vance, concerning the most
minute and trifling Of the multitude
nous details that go towards the
make up Of the fashionable woman.
For example, late number OF a
well known fashion Journal says !:
"Annie of Austria colarettes are
suitable only for matinee jackets.
Turkish fez caps are worn only as
breakfast caps" Apropos of these
edicts of fashion, as incident:
Seated near a couple of ladies at
the Grand the other night, we over
heard a portion of their CONVERSE
ton.
SAID one, You notice that have
on an Annie OF Austria collarette.'
"Yes,n responded the othor.
"What could you have been think
ing about, my dear, you know they
are only Worn at matinees
H. \ | "a gn
titled | don't see how | came to
make such an awful blunder. What
in the world will people think :? But
| am always doing something dread
fui; the other day | went down to
dinner with my feZ zap on just
think of H., wearing a breakfast cap
to dinnpr! Did you ever hear Of
anylldug so ridiculous in your life?"
And the other lady avoWed that
She never had.
A brutal fellow next to us who
had been listening to this converse
ton, turned TO Us and in a voice dis.
tinctly audible to the ladies, said
"Querr what funny mistakes a
man will make about his toilet.
You wouldn't believe it now, but it s
a fact, that I've come here to night
with my snspenders on wrong side
out "
"Great Cesar! ia that so ?" we
calculated.
Yes" said he, and l never felt
so darn 'shamed in my life. But
I've done worse things shan that. "
Impossible -
Yes, sir only last Sunday l went
to church with my opera hat on, aud
the next night | took in a variety
show in my Sunday boots" and then
the horrid things went out to get a
drink.

The Copperhead's Enemy
Martin Index.

Under the tree lay a ''copperhead"
snake about two and one-half feet
in length, perfectly motionless. On
the other side of the reptile, about
one or two inches from its head,
there was large green worm fasten-
cd to the body of the snake. It's
powerful mandibles refastened to
the neck of the snake, and its legs,
which were pointed with sharp,
strong fangs, were firmly planted in
the reptiles body. Evidently, so
far as the worm was concerned, it
was an assault with intent to muir
der. Mr.. Cakes seized stick and
despatched both snake and worm
He informed us that he had noticed
of late Oh his farm several "copper"
head Snakes all disembowelled, and
could not account for it, as the dead
snakes bore no evidence Of having
been killed by human beings. The
cumstance above related cOnvin-
ced him that they had been killed
and disembowelled by these worms.
The worm was not centiped, but
its body resembled that of very
large tobacco worm, except that its
mandibles and fangs were different.
