It seems no doubt to many reader Of
Macauley's History as if he wrote with
out effort, and as if the charms of his
style were the gift of nature rather than
the product of art, so spontaneously do
they appear to flow from his pen. It
was the general opinion Ct his literary
friends that he wrote with great rapidity
and made few corrections in his manu-.
scripts. On the contrary, we are told
by his nephew and biographer, that he
never allowed sentence to pass until it
was as good as he could make it, and
would often rewrite paragraphs and
whole chapters, that he might gain even
a slight i'm provementi in arrangement or
expl ession. After writing thus careful
ly he corrected again, and his manuscripts
were covered with erasures. He paid
equal attention to proof-sheets. He
could not rest until the lines were level
to hairs breadth, and the punctuation
correct to a comma; until every para
graph concluded with telling sentence
and every sentence flowed like running
water.

Gold Months Last Year.

Last year, May 9Th, there was Sc
we're frost, making ice an eighth of an
inch thick. A long cold storm occurred
May 18th and 18th. Early potatoes
were just breaking through. We sowed
our first field corn not until May 18th.
Cold, gray skies continued from this
date until the middle of June. AS late
as June goth melons were scarcely up
and our corn was but four inches high.
Grape buds were just beginning to open.
We remember it was thought that the
grape crop would prove an entire failure.

Young Girls Toilets.

TFO" d JcAuAC JuA0 ACGIcAs
While married ladies array themselves
with so much magni6cence, and in all
colors Of the rainbow, the young girls,
especially those that affect En- ylish styles
and manners, are putting on airs of ex-
IRENE simplicity. Their brothers are
jockeys and stable-boys and they are
milk-maids and pretty waiter girls. One
cannot respect such an exhibition as
this, even when it seems praiseworthy,
because there's no conscience in it. 1t
does not make them any more truly USE
full or economical, or sensible, or willing
to face the essential conditions of an
honorable and independent life. It is
part of the curious medley which we call
life and which makes those who fare
and dress snnptuously every day some
times to wish for nothing so much as the
poetry and poverty, its freedom from
conventionality, and its picturesque ele-
ments without its hard and binding cir
cumstances.'
These simple dresses are sometimes
of cashmere, sometimes of cotton, sat-
teen, Bingham or fresh lowered lawn.
A cashmere of this kind in gems d. armes
blue is made with perfectly plain box
plated skirt. The plain waist is set on
belt and cut square, so that little
tucker of plated muslin can be inserted
and plain sleeves with plating of lace
or muslin at the wrist. The costume is
not complete without an apron, not of
toweling, but made of fringed towel
with embroidered border and
fringed bib and pocket. A pretty dress
of lilac muslin is made with q gathered
skirt trimmed around the bottom, with
a putting and narrow founce. The
surplice waist is crossed and gathered
,nto1 pelt, and the full sleeves are
gathered at the top and also into near
ly straight cuff which is trimmed with

Gingham dresses when made for mar

three, but for young girls they are made
whole, either in the princess form or
with the bodice gathered into belt and
covered with belt of ribbon when the
apron is removed: The blouse bodice
ton to this rule.
Walking clubs set good example in
regard to walking-dress, which serves
also as a suitable travelling dress. The
most approved model consists of a Jer-
sey bodice, an unlined and pleated skirt
and plain folds draped over the hips,
but without sash ends. These form q
convenient pocket at the side which is
concealed and with a shoulder cape
(pleated) and hat (either Langtry, tur-
ban, derby, or shade), the costume is
completed. One point may be remark
de that late walking gloves are gauntlet
ed instead of Wrinkled.

Amenities of Russian Life.

Amen1CleS OF Russian Life.
Life in Russia is subjected to many an
noyances. No one is alleged to enter
Russia without a passport duly vised or
leave the country without permission
from the authorities. These passports
are, however, of little use for detective
purposes, as they simply contain the
name, but give no description of the
traveller. The hotel keepers at st. Pet
ersburg are obliged under heavy penal
ties, to report to the police twice day
the names of all travellers who enter or
leave their hotels. Ea:h householder
in the city is compelled by the govern
ment to have "dvornick" to watch his
premises. These dvornicks are men of
the peasant class, who sit dav and night
wrapped in their sheepshins at the en-
trance of the houses, their Office being
apparently that of half Waterman half
spy. An order was issued short time
ago that no one should walk in the
streets of St. Petersburg without q pass
port, but the absurdity and annoyance
of proceedings were such as to compel
the withdrawal of the ORDER Newspa-
per editors are only allowed to give on
certain subjects such views as meet with
the approval of tho government, and
some question: they are prohibited dis
cussing. Foreign newspapers are
stopped Fat the postofice, often held
back altogether. and when delivered at
all, have any Objectionable parts or par
agraphs stamped out and made ilegible.
The London Times frequently appears
with paragraphs or portions of the col
umns blo:ted out in this manner. A
gentleman received his newspaper a
short time ago ago with the whole u l oft cut
tisements. It would take too long to
enumerate the many petty and other
annoyances which official zeal imposes
on the ordinary life of the Russian peo-
pie, and which have to be accepted

An Indian Folk StOry-The Bcav-
er Wife.
THE BEAVER WIFE.

THE BEAVER WIFE.
A man wanted wife, SO he looked
about for one to please him, but could
not find one among all the girls he knew.
One day he met one called the Beaver.
She had lovely teeth; this he noted when
she laughed; so he made up his mind to
marry her. He went to her father aud
asked him for his daughter, and was told
that he might marry her if he liked, but
that if he did he would have a lot of
trouble; and the father refused to part
with her unless the suitor promised to
make bridge across every stream he
came to for her to pass dry footed. This
the suitor promised to do. He married
the girl and lived very comfortably with
her for two years, when he went as u.s.
ual owl-hunting, leaving his wife to
make a new camp. AS usual he made
bridges over all the creeks he came to.
At last he came to dry one. Over this
he made no bridge, but walked on for
about a mile, where he hung up his bag to
show where he wished the camp
to be made. He then went on and
made his snares. 1t rained while he was
doing so, and he returned early expect
ing to find the camp. But when he
came to the place, there was his bag but
no camp: Going back to- look for his
wife, he came to the creek which had
been dry in the morning, but was full OF
water; and what astonished him more
was that large beaver house was built
that he had not noticed before. He then
determined to break it. but while he was
trying to break in, he heard his wlfe's
voice inside telling him to 60 away, for
his neglect to put up bridge had chan
ged her into a beaver. He tried many
times to take the house, but always fail
ed. His forgetfulness cost him his wife
and his two children.-[N istoskesik in

On first turning to pasture some people
not only subject their cattle to hoven-
the dangerous bloat generated by gas
but also to the scours. The sudden
change from dry hay to young watery
grass, to eat their fill, is too great. The
first three days the cattle should be suf-
fered to remain at pasture only about
half an hour to an hour, according to its
rankness. After this, for the nextthree
days they may be allowed double the
time, and So 20 on gradually increasing

and prevents securing. A quart or two
of Indian ',neal is good to mix with this,
but not kran. In case of bloat, punctur-
ing the side with q short, narrow-bladed
knife is often resorted to, but this is
dangerous, unless the person knows ex-
