Color and Dress.

Color is an immense factor in dress at
the present and very fair test of the
amount Of art and culture which wom
an puts into her clothing, or at least how
farshe keeps en- rapport with the most re-
cent ideas in making her selection. Art
and esthetic ideas in dress have done
much for us by introducing a new world
of color, a world of meaning, of depth
of expression such as of late years,
previous to this era, we knew nothing.
If any one wishes to be convinced of the
truth of this statement let him compare
the fine-art shades In the materials of
to-day with those of ten, fifteen and
twenty-five years ago. Every year the
improvement is manifest and the shades
or tones develop a more subtle con-
seriousness, growing character which
contains possibilities of harmonious re-
lations with the persons and influences
with which it is brought in contact, of
whom and of which it is destined to be-
come part.
Take green, for example There is no
color so significant, SO capable of tender,
helpful. growing expression. 1t is in
the subdued art shades universally be-
coming; and it fraternizes with more
colors than any other except those that
do not quarrel because of their fixed and
eternal neutrality. Who does not re-
member what were called the "grass"
green's and "apple" green's of few
years ago.. They were the green's of
paper flags on st. Patrick's day! Put
these green's by the green's of grass and
leaves, even at their brightest, and one
will be astonished at the quiet depth,
the delicacy and subdued character of
the natural tint-the immense differ
ence between what we call nature and
what is nature.
The esthetic school have tried to get
rid of the entire system of crude color,
substituting for it the refinement of sub
dued tones--such colors as are found
upon old china, tapestry and needle
work; and, to acertain extent, they have
succeeded. The best English and French
manufacturers have been glad to adopt
ideas which had all the attraction of
novelty and all the force of tradition.
Particularly where atmosph eric infiu-
ences are favorable colors have been
lowered, deepened and tho general tone
greatly improved. In this country it is
more difficult to create a.. ew departure
of this kind, because the climate lacks
the humidity and tenderness necessary
to the production of the most perfect
dyes; secondly, because the policy Of
the country is to sustain its manufact-
urers, not to improve its manufactures.
Our art colors are therefore confined to
imported fabrics and materials, and the
price puts them out of the reach of any
but the rich, or at least those who can
afford Injuries. Still, one good effect
has been produced; our manufacturers
have been stimulated to the production
of variety in color and to attempts at
imitation. Jenny June.

An Unexpected Response.

Preachers in the interior settlements
have had often ludicrous experiences.
They must hold the attention of a con-
gregation in spite ofcrying babies, and
keep their own gravity in circum-
stances both awkward and ridiculous.
Occasionally the strain is too great,
and they surrender to the situation.
An eloquent Episcopal clergyman was
ANONYMOUSLY driven from the pulpit
by donkey.
He was favorite preacher with the
frontier families, for he depended
little on manuscript, and used many
familiar phrases and illustrations,
which interested them in his sermons.
In enforcing the lesson of sermon,
he was earnest and practical, and made
direct appeals to his hearers.
On one occasion during the summer,
he was preaching in a crowded school,
house. The windows were open, and
cattle were browsing on the shady
side. Among them was a donkey,
which, having drawn one of the fam
lilies to the meeting, had been turned
loose to browse. The preacher was
ending his sermon with, "And now,
beloved, what think We of these
things?"
At this juncture, the donkey put his
head through the open window and
gave a most unearthly bray. The
preachers self possession wavered,
and the hands and handkerchiefs went
up to the faces of the congregation.
The silence grew oppressive, but the
preacher managed to add, 81 say, my
brethren. what think you of these
things?" to which the donkey respond
ed by second hideous bray. 1t was
too much for preacher and nearer. In
minute the sermon was ended, the
congregation was dismissed, and the
people gathered in groups outside,
convulsed with laughter.
The moral of that sermon was
doubtless lost in this case. We let
the reader judge of the situation and
answer for himself, "What think you
of these things"

Inareport sent to the British Foreign
Office the Acting Consul General at
Bangkok mentions the discovery of
valuable sapphire mines in that part
of Siam. Mines of inferior value have
long been known in the neighborhoOd,
and about five years ago new mines
were discovered by a native hunter
Being, however, in q remote and Sc
cluded position, it was long before
their fame spread to Burmese and In
dian gem traders and miners. Even
tually they became more widely
known, and large numbers focked to
them, especially from British Burmah.
The largest sapphire hitherto found
weighed three hundred and seventy
carats in the rough, and when cut
turned out one hundred and eleven
carats of the finest water. The ruby,
ONYX, and jade are also found in the
district, but are apparently of inferior
quality.
The Duke of Argyll, writing to the
Nature, gives, as he believes, the only
case among feathered tribes in which
vocal is replaced by instrumental
music. The peculiar sound made with
the bill of the woodpecker upon trees
apparently serves the same purpose as
the song of other birds, and ends when
the eggs are Matched. The Duke had
lately an opportunity of closely OBJ
serving how the lesser-spotted wood
pecker, OF picus minor, behaved at
pairing time, and the results of his OBJ
servation excite curiosity. He is quito
certain that the sound made by the
bird has nothing to do with the quest
for food, "The bird selects ono parti-
cular spot upon the trunk or bough of
tree, which spot is naturally sonor-
GUS from the wood being more or less
followed by decay. The bird re-
turns to this precise spot continually
during the day, and produces the sound
by striking on the spot with its bill,
the stroke being repeated with arapid-
ity which is really incomprehensible,
for it quite eludes the eye. 1t is eff
fected by vibratory motion of the
head, but the vibrations are so quick
that the action looks like O single
stroke. After short pauses this stroke
is again and again renewed, sometimes
for several minutes together. During
each interval the woodpecker looks
round it and below it with evident
delight, and with apparent challenge
of admiration, The beautiful crimson
crest is more or less erected. The whole
performance evidently takes the place
of song i'll other birds" The nest is
not in the same tree as the one struck
by the bill of the male. Similar
sonorous spots in the trees In the
| iicighborhood are selected if avail
able, SO that the observer concludes
/ that the hen bird as she sits OH the nest
| is serenaded from different directions,
and with such variety IN the sound as
the change OF tree may produce.
