A LITTLE OF FASHION.

Shingled front hair is all the rage.
Sleeves have decided tendency to full

Fashionable gentlemen wear black silk
hose for full dress.
Gold thistles and gold burrs are the latest
millinery and hair ornaments.
Large black lace fichus will be worn in
place of mantles with midsummer dresses.
Large shawls of white null embroidered on
the edges and in the corners will be much
worn with midsummer toilets.
A charming way of making up children's
sateen dresses is with short, full skirt, with

ish net over satin, batiste, sateen, or surah,
in apricot, pink, lilac, or blue, is very much
used for overdresses tunics, andibodices, to be
trimmed with ruffes of lace matching that
of the net.
For seaside and mountain wear, white,
coarse straw bonnets, OF the modified poke
shape, are very simply trimmed with white
lace, silk pompons or silk cord, and are en-
tirely without color. Flowers and plumes
are not used in trimming these morning
bonnets.
Very pretty sailor suits for boys are in
white flannel the loose shirt having a laclnga
of blue silk cord; others have trimmings of
bright blue ribbon round the sleeves and
down the side of the pants, blue buttons to
correspond, and deep linen collars spotted
with the same color.
Overskirts for thin dresses, as for instance,
gauze tarlatan, ETC., are now very often conf
posed OF scarfs intertwined and draped grace
fully over the skirt. When the dress is
combination, the overskirt may thus be
made of the two materials or colors one
scarf being of one and two of the other.

believed the train skirt is coming in again,

toilets are all made with it, so arranged that
when dancing is desired, it can be raised by
means of tapes, and serve as a demi-train.
For young ladies, however, the train is not
as yet indispensable.

THE BATTLE OF ARnMoRE,

R, J. Burdette, in Cincinnati Enquirer.
The sunshine never kissed lovelier day
nor blessed fairer scene. All the land, and
the sky and the clounds were clad in the
beauty of June. The lanes were fringed with
emerald; the round-eyed daisies peeped out
from the billowy fields of grass, and daintier
wild flowers of the woods nestled like gems
in the velvet moss. Down in the meadows
the buttercups cleaned like buttons of gold.
Over the low hills the soft winds whispered
to the leaves about other summers and down
through the shadowy woods the little brook
laughed and sung and babbled like child
playing by itself. Here and there a cottage
nestled among the trees. The distant calls
of children came ripping across the fields
The long road wound away, yellow and
quiet, until it turned out Of sight beyond
the little church with its snowy walls and
slender spire
How quiet and peaceful all the world lay
before the window of my prison that day in
June. Far away the note of meadow-lark
came, and was heard no more Now and then
the whistle of robin at times the twitter of
a blue-bird. 1t was such an afternoon as YOU
would wish to endure forever White-winged
peace smiled in the sunshine, and sang with
the zephyrs and the brook, and the far-away
calls and scarcely -heard laughter of the chill
dren playing somewhere unseen. Its music is
the crown OF the days beauty and tran
quillity
Clear, mellow, distant, four or five notes of
bugle ring out over the low hills and come
echoing down the forest asles. A hush in
woodland and meadow follows it. Again the
ringing notes, softened by distance, call
through the sunlight but there is an impe-
rious accent of command in the clear-cu
tones, musical as they are. Once more the
bugle-call thrills through the beautiful May
afternoon. The meadow-lark answers it, and
the robin whistles merrily back to its echoes
How my heart leaped at the sound of the
bugle-call How my blood went surging
through my veins like tide of laval Out of
my prison window l look with straining
eyes In the futtering leaves / can see no
glitter of bayonets. listen, but down the

One of the big frogs in Terrell Brothers
tank swallowed a trout about six inches
long yesterday afternoon. The frog was rest
ing at the surface and was bothered by the
trout, which kept nibbing at his long legs.
The frogs good nature finally gave out, and,
diving for the speckled teaser, he swallowed
him at gulp The trout was too long for
the frogs stomach, and the end of its tail
protruded from its mouth. Crowds last
evening watched the efforts of the frog to get
the trout down. The trouteater was swollen
like maddened turkey -gobbler, but ne was
