The E-thetic Craze.

1t is not by any means certain tha
the aesthetic craze is a craze at all. It is
simply an innovation which, like a
pendulum suddenly set in motion. has
swung past its line of perpendicular.
One thing is certain this innovation
is beginning to show itself in the style
of dress worn by ladies in way that
promises the most complete and the
most desirable revolution that can be
imagined. 1t is getting 20 be the
fashion for ladies 70 wear costumes
adapted exclusively to their style OF
looks, 30 that the garb of every lady
does to some eTtent represent hor.
self to produce, as il it we're
a blossoming OF her inherent
qualities. Now this is something in &C.
cordanoe with the law of nature, and
the effect cannot help but be satisfac-
tory. We shall have diversity instead
of uniformity. but as the diversity will
be uniform in consistency with the
varied expressions Of nature, il will be
that diversity that yields a sense OF
completeness instead of the broken,
dislocated effect produced by the uni.
formity of the present style II may
be possible that the aesthetic innovation
will reach and toa great extent remodel
and beau.ify mans dress as well as
women's. Therefore let us welcome a
craze that promises to give US beauty

naturAlness. - Chicago Express.

A pretty walking dress for young

Last of all, and most beautiful, are the
pale-hued plushes in pale blue, silver

made up with white lace trimmings.

Itisnow generally known that carbolic

volatile. II is therefore natural to

The Farmers Rank.

The farmer with the nabob ranks,
And with the gildcd millionAircs;
For he controls substantial banks,
And holds in them the safest shares.
His banks are banks of loan and Gay,
His shares are plow-sharcs in the mold;
The more they break the more they pay,
In dividends of green aud gold.
His face is bronzed with summer skies,
His honest hands are hard and brown:
But there is something in his eyes
That came with light from heaven down.
He is not Of the earth clod,
With kings and millionaires he ranks,

station of the Roman feet Near the
huge amphitheater, only second to the
coliseum in size and massiveness Of con-

engaged in digging an ice cellar for the

senal, when at about yards depth
from the surface they came upon q
statue nine feet three inches in height,
representing Roman emperor, and in
4 state of almost perfect preservation.
This efigv, executed in Grecian mar
ble of the finest quality, is stated 70 be
the most beautiful and highly finished
efigy OF It's kind in existence. II has

trait OF any particular emperor, but
