Costumes.

A Russian General, who now holds a
very important command in the far
East, complained, when some five or
six years ago, he visited London, that it
was impossible 10 understand on what
principle the English dressed them
selves. A few male friends had invited
him to dinner; and on appearing among
them he found himself the only one of
the party who wore a frock coat. The
next morning he was t. breakfast with
a few more friends; and. determined
this time To be on the safe side, he pre-
sented himself in dress suit. We have
met with n novel in which one of the
principal incidents was the refusal of a
check taker at the Royal Italian Opera
t. admit distinguished foreigner who.
with the regulation evening coat, wore
a pair of light-colored trousers such
rs, in like connection, would
be accepted on the Continent (at
least in summer) as quite appro-
pirate TO festive occasion. The only
app, oach, indeed, TO a despotism of
taste that now exists in England is the
authority exercised i'm the matter of
costume by our operate officials. who
tolerate nothing but black and white.
I'm ordinary life people will doubtless
continue TO dress as they may think fit.
without needing the circumstances and
appeals addressed to them by those who
have studied the subject. aud who have
at once better information and better
perceptions than the general mass of
mankind. But what may be permitted

Grated on the part of painters, sculptOrs
and stage managers. Smith. Jones and

TO influence the public mind have heavier
responsibilities; and the evil they do
lives after them. London Standard.

Curing Hay.

The question of whether hay could
1oe be cured by other than the common
and often destructive method now in
vogue is being closely investigated by
the experts and farmers of England.
The old and original method was to
Jet the grass first get well ripened, then
cut it with the reaping hook or scythe,
turn it frequently with the fork TO dry
or ripen in the sun and the next day put
it in cocks. After few days make the
whole into stacks or ricks. or put it in
the barn.
After this came moving machines,
horse-rakes, tedders, elf-loading wagons
and hay-forks, and tackling for unload
ing and placing the hay in the barn or
ricks.
Under the first sys EN- there was often
heavy loss and always some injury from
exposing the grass so long to the
weather, which could not always be de-
p nded upon. Modern appliano es h we
materially hasten the process of get
ting the hay cured and in the barn, but
with continuous wet weather there is
still much risk that should if possible be
avoided. To overcome this trouble
many experiments are now under trial
with more o. less success. One method
proposed is to stack the grass while per-
fectly green, with considerable layers of
straw between layers of the grass, with
an open passage in the center of the
stack for the moisture to pass out. This
has not been discovered to prevent a
certain amount of mold forming on the
hay.
Machinery with drying apparatus at
tachment has been tried. but not suffi-
GENTLY economical and expeditions to
prove a success Farmers, however,
should put their wits to work to COM
pass this subject, for it will never do for
all time to let the hay crop, the most i'm
portant one often on the farm, be en-
tirely at the mercy of spell of bad
weather that is liable to come at the
time it is most hurtful. - american

Fashions i'm Calico.

Bright cclors and large patterns-loud
styles of prints, foulards, cambrics and
bro ades-have had remarkable run
during the past season, and what is
more curious still is that the demand
for these goods still continues. 1t was
supposed that as the summer waned
and sobcr-tinted autumn came on people
would, in sympathy with nature or from
n proper aesthetic taste, adopt less loud
styles and more sober colorS; but the
taste for the loud styles still persists
The trade, however, knowing how
quickly the public taste may change, is
beginning to be more cautious in hand
ling its goods and looks for reaction
and demand for the smaller patterns and
moro tasteful, or at least more
seasonable. shades, and modest styles.
The prices of last week are firmly main
tanned, and there is no reason why they
will not hold throughout. Dress goods
continue 10 demand attention, and the
demand for several popular styles is
ahead of the supply. In imported goods,
especially. the trade is better than it has
been for several years. Choice imports
are becoming quite scarce In some
varieties. Ladies are taking to wearing
woolens moro and more every year.
Plain goods in all the staple colors and
new shades are very active. The shades
most in demand are myrtles, garnets,
bronzes. navies. olives. browns, plums,
terra cottas and electric blues.-BoSton

"Another velvet season is one Of the GER

A Large and Harmonious Conventional
Decided Contrast to the Late Repub

Brief and Pointed.
PATTlSON TAKES FIRST PLACE.

HARRISBURG, June 2S.-The delegates to
the Democratic State Convention have all
arrived. aud the hotels are in a buz of ex-
citement. There is no end of candidates,
with Hopkins PattiSon, Coke and Hall
in the lead for the head of the ticket.
Where the lightning will strike is hard to
tell, general feeling Of uncertainty being
noticeable But there is an unmistakable
desire on all sides to do that which shall
seem TO be for the best interests OF the
party. Hopkins appears 10 lead IN the
fight, having possibly eighty'tve or ninety
delegates at his back, although his most
sanguine friends claim over one hundred
on the first ballot. Next to Hopkins, Pat
tison seems TO he making the most headway.
George Ii. Irwin is making warm fight
Black. it is thought, will experience little
difficulty in getting the nomination in case
he enters the arena.
The delegates appear to be pretty much
at sea with regard to the other places on
the ticket, and their action with reference
to these will be largely influenced by the
nomination for the first place.
The convention promises to be somewhat
deliberate in its discussions OF men and
measures, and its session may be somewhat
prOtractcd.
