turn the glove over and adjust gently

gloves were laid in damp towel for
three or four minutes previously to pull

The fashion of combination costumes
is tower of strength to her who must
do much with small means, since it
allows her to utilize any scraps which she
may have on hand. Then, too, the
fashion of framing the front breadth
of skirt gives great scope to the en-
plovmcut of an inconsiderable quantity
of handsome material, and many "short
lengths" of rich brocade velvet, or satin
may be most advantageously used in
this manner. The bodice is often of the
same material as the panels, but where
this cannot be accomplished, portion
can be introduced as trimming, such as
revers. plastrons, or pelerine and cuffs.
The jacket, different from the skirt, is
another economical style, but this has
been referred to in former articles. It's
latest and most inexpensive form is the
jacket of bright-colored cashmere, cut
to initiate Jersey, and untrimmed, ex-
cept for small buttons which fasten it
from top to bottom. Young ladies and
misses wear these on the street, while
for afternoon wear at home, their use is
general, and .they serve to utilize any
old skirt at small expense.
Neatness is, however. the great de.
sideratum to economy in dress. II the
toilet is carefully made, the dress tidy,
well-fitting and neatly put on, and the
color or frill spotless, the effect can
scarcely fail to be attractive. To keep
garments fresh and neat much pain is
necessary. The dress must be brushed.
or at least shaken when taken off, and
be carefully hung up, not tossed down
on chair or in The bed in crumbled
heap. Gloves should be tenderly
smoothed OUT frills rolled up and
Strengthened, and ribbons smoothed
over the fingers, tightly rolled up, and
pinned with fine needle; pin is apt
to leave'its mark behind it in unsightly
holes.
1t is an excellent plan to keep large
box in which all odds and ends of velvet,
ribbons, etc. are kept. Such an omnium
gatherum will prove mine from which
bindings, bonnet trimmings and other
minor necessaries may frequently be ex-
tracted at need, and thus save many a
dime aud twenty-five cent piece.

tan, who has been already robbed of his
territory, fears that this last emblem OF
royalty will be also taken from him by
his powerful and ayaricious neighbors at
Pontianak." Nave also mentions that
a friend of his, Captain of an India

requested not to touch it, This gem

markable that the author of paper on

The Farm ar's Horse.

The idea that farmers must neces-
sarily have large tiaoby overgrown
horses, weighing from 1000 to 1900
pounds, is gaining favor, and will
doubtless prove one of those tidal waves
or some popular excitement. The gen
erality OF farmers do not need or require
such a horse. For all practical pur-
poses appertaining to the farm, these
elephant-like horses fail to meet the re-
quirements satisfactorily. Any one who
will take pains to notice horses belong
ing to the rural districts can readily see
at glance that the majority of farms
contain a vast surplus of horsefiesh; that
is, majority of those who have these
much coveted horses--I will say at least
nine-tenths, for there are fully this pro-
portion who find this surplus horse flesh
a decided hindraHce in performing the
various requirements that the average
farmer is bound to demand, whether his
team is large or just the adequate size.
A horse or team Of the adequate size will
perform the different kinds of work
which most farmers require Of one and
the same team Gan all-purpose team)
quicker, with greater ease and with less
feed, than the big, elephant-like, inetii-
Gent horse already alluded to. The
farmer usually, if not always, desires a
horse that will answer all purposes; that
is, work to the pIow, the reaper,
the mower, the wagon, the buggy
or spring wagon, and under the saddle;
while there may be many who OF
necessity require all these desirable
qualities of their limited number OF
horses at least they make them perform
all the above named kinds OF work,
which may be satisfactory, or may be
performed in such u way as to give
reasonable satisfaction, owing to what
manner of horses are thus employed.
For the farmers own use, which means
the specified essential requirements al
ready designated, it matters little
whether his horse be able to trot mile
in 2:17 or not, but it is "a matter of con-
siderable importance that he does not
resemble that largest of all quadrupeds,
the elephant, to such degree as to
seriously impede locomotion.
Size, other things being equal, is in
this case the measure of efficiency. Then
the adequate size is neither the largest
horse nor the smallest horse, but is of
that weight and symmetry which will
enable him to satisfactorily perform all
kinds of work, and should weigh from
1850 to 1880 pounds, which with the
above definitions, will justly render him
the farmers horse.--J. W., ia Iowa

The Largest Diamond.


Bcrneois no longer terra incognita
Recently two important works on Borneo
have been published, the first by Carl
Beck. who has explored most of the
Dutch territory. the second by Joseph
Hattop, who. in possession of the private
letters and explorers reports of the
British North Borneo, has given us some
interesting revelations about Sabah, and
ti,e mysterious regions of Kina Balu.
These current volumes. written upon
authoritative data, maintain TO some eX-
tent the traditional character of Borneo
as " r treasurehoSse of gems" though
&c is plain chat the mineral wealth of the
country has been oyerrated. Expecta-
tious OF mineral discoveries are justified,
and. whether they are realized or not,
ali who are interested in the history Of
the worlds famous gems will watch
with curiosity the new developments
promised in the land which is known to
have produced many splendid stones,
bat which is more particularly associated
with the history of the Matan diamond.

CrinOline.

Hoop Ia! Crinoline is coming to the
front again, and soon the sweeping
amplitude of hoopskirts may contend
with merchants packing cases for the
monopoly of our sidewalks, not to speak
at all OF the most convenient possession
of street cars and stages by the unsightly
juponical continuance. But it is coming
for all that, if we aret to credit the British
Trade Journal, which says: Thanks to
the ladies, there is every prospect of =
lost trade being revived. When crino-
lines went out the fair ones expressed
themselves as dcvoutly thankful, and
said sweet things about the clinging
skirts which followed. Judging by what
they stated, male creatures came to the
conclusion that crinoline would never
again be worn. Fashion, however, is
still all-powerful. At first there was
slight protuberauce, which was just Wis.,
ible; then the jaunty Newmarket was
distinctly parted and in about six
weeks the 'crinolet'' was general. Now
the crinoline is fairly upon us. Two
Sheffield manufacturers, who make a
specially of crinolne wire, are full Of
orders, largely on foreign account, but a
good deal of it is also for the home
markets. When the fashion went out
the change brought disaster to several
firms engaged in the production OF Grim
oline steel. Now the premises are being
again put to their old use, in tho hope
that crinoline may become as firmly
seated this round Of the fashionable
wheel rs it was the last, IN ]. Star.

HARRY AND THE PEARS.

Many wise thing sounds absurd
Through the wrong naming OF a word;
And oft is caused a world of bother
BY using one word for another;
Yet in our glossary words are found
Unlike in sense, yet like in sound.
Though by word-bluuders harm is done,
In play on words there's sonnet mes fun,
As in an apt impromptu pun,
Or in joke such as cite
Yet Hal, methlnks, was hardly right.

Illneither cut, nor bite, nor break 'em,
And yet in equal shares we'll take EN-"

''But t.sat's not fair
You have more than your rightffil share.
There's one for Carrie, one for me,
And two for you. That should not be-"
