To CLEAN OSTRICH PLUMEs.-
White ones can be cleaned by taking
four ounces of white soap, cut it into
small pieces, dissolve in four pints
of water rather hot, and make lath-
er; into this dip the feathers, and
wash gently with the hands for about
ten minutes rinse in hot water and
shake until dry. Ostrich tips can be
curled by holding them in the steam
from water until they are damp, and
then drawing each fibre separately
over the blade of a blunt knife.

In providing for fowls for winter
it is we'll to lay in some lime, in the.
shape of clam and oyster shells, and,
to certain extent, in ashes. Hens
that are fed upon corn alone are apt
to lay soft-shelled eggs, since there
is little lime found in this grain.
This is particularly true where the
fowls are old. Young hens have a
more bountiful supply in the system,
which has not as yet been drawn on.
This supply should be carefully kept
up, as toward spring, when the fowls
are laying plentifully, and the demand
for Matching eggs comes in, the ne
cessity is felt. A supply of shells at
this time is found beneficial, without
which egg production will fall off
greatly.
The Cheshire breed of hogs is q
faVorlte one with the people OF north
ern New York. By some it is thought
to be the same as the Large White
Yorkshire, for this breed, as is also
the Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, an6
some other shires are alike in color
size shape and quality of meat. They
are admirable for production of fa
side pork, for sailing and barreling
Some of them make tolerable gooC
hams and bacon, though, as a gener
al rule, there is too great a proper
ton of fat to suit most people. Tn
value of breed depends on ,wha
uses are made of them. In the day
of the rebellion the hog that put Oh
fat the fastest was the kind wanted
but this is not always the case now.

The Jacket Bodice.

Among the new styles may be noticed
the Jacket bodice, with habit basque |;
the Hungarian bodice, pointed back and
front, and ornamented with frogged
braiding in the military style; also the
long redingote, fastened to the waist
and draped below it into simple paniers,
the basque meeting at the back in folds.
Skirts may be either killed, with scarf
drapery at the top, or plain with doAble
pleating or ruching at the lower edge.
Imported tweed dresses are made with
q colored waistcoat, the bodice merely
buttoning at the waist, thus displaying
a mass of color above and below the
fastenings. Red waistcoats and blue
waistcoats are both worn, with buttons
to correspond. Among the favored col
ors for these costumes may be mentioned
cadet blue, SEAL brown, all shades, and
very dark terra Gotta.
While many advocate the one color
in new costumes, still others incline to
a variety of hues. The skirt Of fall
dress has the flounces made OF two
kinds of material, maroon and mode al
ternately, in regular rows, but gradu-
ated towards the waist-which had
peculiar and pleasing ettect-and the
suit was rendered more noticeable by
bodice of brocade in which two colors
of the skirt were illustrated in the grand
and raised brocade figures. With skirts
of two colors, sometimes third is used,
but it is generally plain tone. Round
skirt basques are again fashionable as
well as coat and paletot bodices. Now,
in place of the usual drapery at the
back, it is finished with bow at the
edge of the bodice as well as on the
skirt: in the last casethe bow is visible
between the slashed open back seam Of

Some Travelling Dresses.

New travelling dresses, suitable to the
season, are those with corduroy or
wooden plush underskirts, with coarse
reps. In one the dark red skirt has a
Jacket bodice and an all round tunic of
check wooden stuff, brown, with lines
of red introduced. The skirt is lined
with leather. Another smoke-colored,
elastic cloth dress ischarmingly trimmed
with silver gimp. A green serge has
the bodice fastened on one side with a
double row of buttons and coat basque
at the back.
1t is further stated that the disposition
to copy gentlemen's fashions seems to
be increasing, and some of the new
Jackets are really fac SMILES of mems
frock coats. Indian cloths, shot wooden
cloths, checks, tweeds, sapphires, blue
cloth habits are all worn; also combined
shots and stripes.
A neat dress of shepherds plaid shows
a skirt pleated perpendicularly, while
the scarf tunic is arranged horizontally.
The bodice is a pleated blouse, fitting
the figure closely, with waistband to
match. A double puff of the fabric in
the back connects the ends of folded
scarf on skirt, and the sleeves and front
of corsage are finished with small but
tons. Another costume shows plain
beige skirt, pleated, with tunic draped
above it. The basque is OF mixed cloth,
is in jacket shape, with round basque,
stitched with contrasting color and
arranged in boX-pleats at the back.

A Touch OF the French.

Very Frenchy is a dress Of telegraph
blue delaine, trimmed with bands OF
lowered foulard. The front Of skirt is
formed of boX-pleatings Of the material,
alternating with boX-bands of fOuiard.
The overgarment is basque polonaise,
trimmed with revers and bands of foul
ard puffed back; sleeves and throat fin
ished with foulard ruching and quilting
of lace.
An odd but very stylish costume for
fall wear has just been completed after
one of the Universal Fashion models.
1t is a combination of Meveilleux and
brocade. The skirt of the satin is gar
nished with three rows of side pleating.
The upper garment, redingOte polo
naise, is of the Sicn brocade. 1t is tight
fitting, opens in front, is plain in the
sides and draped hack. The scarf
crosses the back, is curved over the hips
and below basque face of corsage IS
tied in knot, the ends falling over the
skirt, disclosed between the side of the
polonaise in a fan shape. The revers.of
corsage relieve the centre stirring OF
satin, and sleeves are finished with frill
of lace, which also trims the neck.
The Universal house-dress model APP
pears elaborate, but is really simple:
The dress is all in one piece and is fitted
to an under lining. The back is laid in
Il deep .Watteu pleat. A Jacket is simu-
lated by the thinning an" drnpvry
sleeves, which are tight-fitting. Bows
of ribbon garnish the dress on the
sleeves and at the throat. A new fitted
basque is closed in front and scOlOped
about its lower edges while the side and
centre backs are cut deeper and shirred
in two parts and furnished with bows.

SeasOnabIe Hints.

The weather variations of the early fall
create a demand for appropriate weight
garments, and the Season, reliable au-
thority in matters of fashion, to meet
the requirements caused by the sudden
atmospheric changes in the Northern
climate, suggest compromise by COM
bining heavy and light fabrics, uniting
in costumes Indian cloth, batiste and
muslin, with silk, velvet end even plush,
and still another arrangement is that of
the large lowered, splendidly colored
sateens with self-colored cashmere. In
this connection the skirt is made of the
sateen, while the waist or bodice is of
the wooden fabric, as is also the drsVery
of the tablier overskirt, which falls in
graceful folds in front and is looped in
the back. Such corsage is garnihed
with ruchings of chantilly lace, inter-
spersed here and there with bow; Of
satin ribbon.
Another equally popular critic styo-
Gates the adoption of the plain or self
colored lightweight wooden fabrics for
fall wear and asserts that materials Of
sombre hue take the lead. Iailor-made
dresses are of mixed cheviots, cbth-
finished fiannels and shepherds checks,
and all Of these wooden goods shouu be
we'll spoHSed, before garments are cut
out, to prevent subsequent shrinking.

A Cute Trick.
London DAILY Ne10s.

Orpheus with his lutte made tree and
other objects dance at his pleasure, and
a similar method of overcoming mater
ial difficulties seems to prevail in lodg-
lighthouses in Queenstown. The diff
Guilty of being in two places at once,
like a bird, has been remarked on by
an Irish metaphysiCian. Some others
thinkers Of the same race have been no
less struck with the inability of two
bodies to occupy the same space at the
same moment. At Queenstown, whence
Cmigrants start, the place which many
bodies desire to occupy st the same
given moment, is a bed in lodging
house. The difficulty has been over
come with singular ingenuity. In a re-
port on over Crowding of emigrants,
published by the bOafd of trade, the
method of creating vacuum in bed is
explained. AS soon as the rooms in a
lOiging-hOuse are full, and in that hour
when sleep is sweetest to men, fiddler
is introduced. The lads land, we pre-
sumo, lasSes) Mt once wake up and gal
lantly take the fiure," while new set
of emigrants jump into the vacated beds
and sleep till the jewellers are danced
down. Then the new tenants of the
bed are evicted, and they take the flure"
in their turn; the company thus alter
nately sleeping, and dancing. This
plan necessarily causes overcrowding,
would probably prevent the nervous
from sleeping, and has other patent in
cOnveniences. But there is something
fcstal about the method after all.

E,.r,n, sep.ember Designs,

Butterick furnishes some very elegant
designs for September. A very hand
some style is illustrated in mixed thiv-
lot. The back is in Princess shape, with
an attached drapery, which is gracefully
arranged. The bodice consists of a
disappointed vest, slightly overlaored
at the sides by side fronts, which are
draped by pleats at their front and back
edges into handsomely wrinkied pniers
over the hips. The skirt is completed
by front and side cores, the latter sight
" overlapping the sides of the former,
thus carrying out the plastron effect to
the bottom. The lower edge Of The en-
tire skirt is upturned for hem and fin
ished with a pleating set on Under
meath. The vest is closed with bltton-
holes and tiny ball buttons, AID is
crossed with gracefully-festooned cords,
which droop from the centre Of thecord-
buttons attached to the side fronts. Sim
liar cord ornaments are festOoned across
the front gore from the side cores with
decidedly elegant and stylish effed. A
rolling collar finishes the neck ant cuffs
decorate the sleeves. These corr aud
rosette ornaments are now very popu-
lar, and come in sets in black andin all
the new and popular colors. -.

presented city, was made in this
fashion: The airy-looking underskirt
and tunic were of the finest pearl white
India null, the three deep iounces
which trimmed the skirt being. edged
with beautiful pattern of Oriental
lace three inches deep. The edge Of
the tunic had one deep, lace-edged, ruff
fle to match. Over this was worn a
walking-coat of black Lyons velvet,
fitting the form to perfection. The
sleeves were cut in close-coat style, and
above them were drawn a very long
pair of black silk jersey gloves. Upon
the head was a Sir Peter Lely hat Of
pearl-white straw trimmed with
Oriental lace. On each side Of the
crown dropped a long, full ostrich
feather of palest blue. Around the
throat was a wide, picturesque collaret
of Oriental lace, fastened under the
chin with pale blue satin ribbons, which
fell in shower of loops and ends, in
delicate contrast to the white lace and
the rice black velvet coat beneath it.
