A Timely Gift.


Books will never lose their value as

Horner who prefers plums TO roots.
There is no trouble in fixing upon the
right kind of book for the man or wo-
man whose mind you know. Between
friends worthy OF the name there can
hardly be mistake. You may 60 to
your shelves in preference to going to
your bookseller, and taking down some
volume which both of you have admir-
ed, you write your friends name upon
your own book plate, and the matter is
settled at once, You are sure to confer

FASHION NOTES.


The simplest linen collars are worn
It'll velvet street costumes.
Boas are entirely out of fashion
nall Byron collars of fur are worn in,
tead.
Buckles of silver. gold, jet, bronze
and pearl are used to Grnament bon
pets, hats, dresses and slippers.
Stylish round felt hats have narrow
Rrims with high Alpine crowns: this
lhaPe is most becoming to round, full
aces.
Some of the prettiest Of the Winter
bonnets are those tiny affairs of black
velvet with ostrich tips on the side and
narrow black satin strings.
Sixor eight crushed roses of different
shades of red half cover black or red
bonnets. The same varied shades are
seen in clusters of ostrich feathers.
Some Partisan dress-makers have
completely abandoned the use of vests,
but many have not, so it is vet to be
decided wheter they will remain in fash
ion or not.
Among brides there is heavy run
on white velvet brocade for marriage
gowns, and in consequence the price Of
the material has gone up in the neigh
oOrhood of the comet.
Light lilac kid gloves, stitched with
black, are the correct style of gentle
men in connection with evening dress,
and for button-hole flowers che chry-
saAthemum is now in high favor.
Wraps and camers-hair shawls are
now so adroitly made that the shawl is
not cut, but held togother in graceful
folds by means of tapes on the inside.
1t makes an elegant and exceedingly
stylish wrap.
The most fashionable Jet bonnets are
those formed of row upon row of jet
beads of the same size finely cut, and as
large as the end of lady's finger.
Those in fanciful designs of jetted lace
are no longer stylish.
The fashionable hats worn by Young
ladies are puffed cloth or velvet toques,
md with these the Langtry coiffure
With fluffy front hair and low, small
Greek knot behind is appropriate.
There is new combination of shades
called strawberry, which graduates from
| warm pink tone to the palest and
most delicate flesh hue. Bows, cock
ldes, and punches of feathers are in
his combination.
The New York Mail and Express
says: "Sealskin sacques are shorter
md fit closer to the figure than last
eason, and are not made with pockets.
Che darkes. shades of sealskins are not
'nly the best, but the most fashion
Lble."

Wicked jake Reads Recipe Upside
Down.
Detroit Free Press.l

Detroit Free Press.
Old Mrs. Jones borrowed Mrs.
Browns recipe for making watermelon
pickle the other day, and being hard Of
hearing, as she couldn't see to read very
we'll, she got her grandson, jake, to
read it for her. jake took the paper
like dutiful child, and, holding it up
side down commenced:
"Take a green watermelon"
"Why, jake, amt you mistaken? I
thought the melon must be ripe"
"Oh, what's the matter wild yew
Gew ever see watermelon that wasn't
green ?"
"Cut the watermelon in four
halves"
"But there amt only two halves to
anything. | don't believe you are read
ing that, jake"
"Well, l don't have to; anyhow
that's what the reseet says. Then soak
it in pint cup"
"Oh, dear me! How in the world
can you put a watermelon in a pint
cup?"
"Well, / amt here to tell the where
ases and the howfores. Pm just read
ing the facts and you can put in the
filcsfee to suit your taste. After soakin'
the melon put in skillet and fry it fur
FIVE days"
II wonder if Mrs. Brown sent me
such a recipe as that ?" said the old
lady; but Jake kept on:
"Then put the watermelon in a quart
bowl and pour over it galoon of vine
gar, taking care not to spill the vine
gar"
'Pd just like to know how you can
pour gallon into a quart bowl with
out spilling any of it" but jake con-
tinued
"Then sift a peck of red pepper
through milk-strainer over the melon,
and to one cup of butter add the white
and yelks and shells of three eggs, and
throw in the old hen that laid them,
and four sticks of cinnamon drops and
two tablespoonfuls of quinine, and run
it through coffee-m mill and let it stand
until it ferments, and then pour it in a
tin-can and tie the can to a dogs tail
this will stir it up to the right con-
sisteney-and then you can turn it off
in crooks and have it ready fol- use.
Serve it cold and spread it on mince
pie and it makes capital DESERT" and
jake slid out of doors and left the old
lady looking like wrinkle on a monu-
ment.

Lower Pearl River Navigation.
Democrat-star.l

Democrat-Star.
1t seems to be a hard matter to have
government work done honestly. Mr.. Mey-
er, the contractor to clean out West Pearl
river, did more harm than good. He cuts
trees and fell them in the river and thereby
ohstructed navigation. The steamer Major
White, owned by Messrs. Poitevant, Favre
& Co, of Pearlington, used for transporting
passengers and freight on West Pearl river,
while on her down trip last week come in
contact with some of the distractions put
IN the river by Meyer, and sunk. This is con-
siderable loss to the owners of :he boat, and
we presume the man Meyer will have 70 pay.
Major Buchanan. u. s. Engineer, we learn
has arrived at Gainesville and proposes to
clean out West Pearl river according to
contract, honestly. He has built fats and
is well prepared to do the work. We hope
the work will be executed we'll, and that
Major Buchanan will assist the government
in bringing the contractor, Meyer, to jus
tice.

A very nlce-looking young man stooc
in the doorway of the editorial room
and gazed in benign way at the occu

Would it be possible for me to sci

"Why, l don't see--began the
author.
"Of course you don't. Probably you
we're the hero of the novel. Did you
ever hear of Thompson's colt?
The visitor admitted his ignorance
concerning that historical animal
"Well, Thompson's colt" continued
he horse reporter, ''was such an
eternal idiot that he swan across the
civer to get drink. Now that fellow
IN your story is dead match for him."
Il don't understand"
Probably not. 1t is not expected Of
literary people. But l tell you, this
young fellow in your story is out under
an apple tree holding girls hands,
isn't he ?"
"Yes."
''And according TO the story he nais-
ed her long ringlets to his lips and kiss
ed them reverently.' That right?"
Certainly"
"Now, what do you think of a
young man that would go nibbling
around girls back hair when she had
her face with her? Such stories do not
possess the fidelity to nature that
should ever characterize the work Of
genius. No, my genial imbecile, you
can not get the weight of this powerful
Journal on the side Of any such young
man as your story depicts. We were
