SUMMER STYLES.
tockings wear well.

Raw silk stockings wear well.
Very small earrings are now worn.
Oxford ties are popular for house wear.
Much velvet is used on summer bonnets and
hats.
Lawn is being much used for ladies' under
clothing in place of cambria
Hand painted sashes are very pretty over

Among the Nonpareil summer velveteens is
an exquisite new shade called marine blue.
White gowns are elaborately trimmed with
either lace or embroidery never with both.
Bows for white dresses embroidered in colors
have many loops and contain all the colors of
the embroidery.
White tulle wells that merely serve to hold the
fluffy front hair in place without fattening it
are worn with summer bonnets.
Hats and bonnets made of white null, with
lace and clover blossoms, will be very much worn
at the watering places and the seaside.
The Watteau style of dress promises to be I'M
commonly popular this summer in toilets and
costumes designed for nearly every occasion.
A favorite way of sewing on lace this year is
gathering the lace, then sewing it on the wrong
side, turning and catchiD it down at intervals,
making puff.
The old-fashioned challie-a light WOODEN fab
ric with which some silk is woven-is revived for
summer dresses; the ground is light in color and
is strewn with flowers

and dressing sacques 1t is chosen in stripes of
gay contrasting colors. pink With blue, rose with
gray, ecru with scarlet
The pointed girdle is revival of an old fash
ion and is very becoming to both slight and full
figures. 1t is pointed at both edges in front, is
quite narrow around the sides, and is finished be-
hind by wide sash bow of two broad loops and
two ends only slightly longer than the loops or
else extending to the end Of the skirt
A very stylish bonnet recently worn at an af-
ternoon wedding had brim of cut jet beads and
pulled crown of black net, spotted with single
beads In the front of the crown and immedi-
ately over the foreheadSwere two large bouquets
of most natural-lookihg lilies of the valley,
the stalks tied together with narrow paleblue

The gathered spencer waists in fashion twenty
years ago are revived to wear with skirts Of
different colors of different material, and it
is said will take the place of Jerseys as the sea-
son advances Lace, either black or white, and
silk surahs of any light color, are the materials
used, and the belt and sash worn with these
waists may be of the Same, or of velvet or else
of soft India silk.

BOOK THIEVES.
a New and Ingenious Trick by Which liz
braries Are Robbed.

New York Mail and Express.
''The newest trick of book thieves is a most
curious one,' said Nassau street New York,
book dealer tl'e other day, land confess it took
me in completely although | have been in the
business forty years and thought l knew q good
deal. A very well dressed man came in and
represented himself rs the assistant librarian Of
the new public library i'll Cleveland. He said hei
had come to this city TO buy 10000 books,
among which he wanted to include about forty
representative copies of the old theological
works printed in New England within the first
century after the settlement Of the PuTitans.
"Of course, | gave him permission to look
at what had in that line" said the book dealer.
After examining the books for about half an
hour the man went out, saying that he intended
to visit other book stores in the neighborhood.
He returned about o'clock in the afternoon,
and looked again at the books and then went
away, promising to call this morning and make
his purchases.
Gust after he had gone noticed that he had
put one of the books back on the wrong shelf.
1t was a volume of Cotton Mathers sermons,
printed in Cambridge in 1868, and was almost
unique in this country. Taking it down, felt
that there was some small substance between
some of the leaves, and, sure enough there was
"a piece of wet string laid against the binding,
Just back of where there had been aswood-cut
portrait of Cotton Mather himself But the
woodcut had disappeared. The rascal had slip
ped the wet string in during his first visit to the
store, and it had so moistened the paste with
which the portrait was fastened in the book
that during his second visit he had slipped tho
cut out and put it in his pocket without cutting
or tearing it in the least. An examination of
the volumes the thief had looked over revealed
the fact that he had in the same way stolen
seventeen other woodcuts and engravings, the
loss of which decreases the value of the Volumes
fully one half. For instance, the Cotton Mather
sermons were worth $3.50 with the portrait, whiles
without it / can't sell the book for more than
$50 Do 1 expect to catch him2 Well, l hardly
expect to be so fortunate"
''What do you think the man can sell his
plumber fort" Asked the reporter.
''Well, probably for about $500-perhapsS
more" said the book dealer ''And | pity the
public libraries of the city, for the man evidently
knows Just what woodcuts and engravin gs are
the rarest and most valuable, and he will play
the same trick in those places if the librarians
are not careful"

Apostl.oplle to a Cousin.
New York Tribune.

We have cousin we are harsh to--the rat
He crossed the ocean with us, and is almost as
populous we are in the pipes and sewers and
easements beneath our homes. If he should in
wade the house with his hundred thousands we
might scream, but if he should leave his hermit
age and us for good we might die He is the
unpaid scavenger of man, bold and modest
merry, but undisturbing, and his brother, the
squirrel in our cage, fed on sweet almonds by
the children, is just as fierce. The rat is pretty
too, if one would believe it. His rodent species
is as versatile as man, and several Of our States
are named for him: the Wolverine, the Gopher
the Prairie-dog. He viii so with u.s. mariner

READING FOR THE SABBATH.


l sat me down beneath the trees,
To hear the song of birds and bees,
To watch she clouds that foated by,
To ask, Is God forever night
And whence this life of beauteous spring!
This something causing birds to sing!
This resurrection of the earthl
What gives to all things this new birth9
And, as question, earth and sky,
With myriad voices made reply;
"lis God, who moves o 'er all the earth
And gives to nature this new birth.
Each leaflet moving in the breeze
But speaks of God Among the trees
Each joyful beam of summer sun
But tells of God. When day is done
The birds whose warblngs fill my ear
Tell me thevoice of God is here;
Each whispering breath of summer air
Tells me that God is everywhere;
The varied hues of tree and flower
With beauty fill the passing hour
The forest smiles, the air is balm,
All nature breathes living PSALM
The wood-thrush sings my heart song
His liquid notes, so pure and strong.
Seem sent from heaven to cheer my soul
And all my wayward thoughts control;
The sun, the sky, the earth. the air,
Are full of beauty everywhere;
All nature speaks to eye and ear
The truth that God is ever near.

Death Is Dead.

] saw in dreams a mighty multitude
Gathered they seemed, from north, south, east and
west,
And in their looks such horror expressed
AS must forever words of mine elude.
As ii transfxei by grief, some silent stood,
While others wildly slnote upon the breast
And cried out fearfully, mo rest, no restl'
Some fed, as if by shapes unseen pursued.
Some laughed insanely. Others, shrieking said,
'To think but yesterday might have died,
For then God had not Numbered, Death is dead.
They gashed themselves till all with blood were red
ANSWER, 0 God; take back this curse, they cried
But death is dead was all the voice replied

Worship in the synagognes.

Some evidence of progress among the Jews is
shown in Rabbi Gottheil's proposal, which is in
dorsed by the Jewish Advocate, to use an
English instead of Hebrew ritual in the syna
gogue services. That paper, however, opposes
the holding of devotional services on Sunday in
stead of Saturday, while it approves of making
use Of Sundays for the purpose of giving re
hgious instruction. 1t is becoming somewhat
common for Jewish synagogues to be open on
Sunday for this object We do not doubt that
the substitution of the English language for the
Hebrew in ritual services in this country will
ere long become quite general

DOlly's Fan.

Dolly had a silken fan,
Crimson, with feather border
And she-O, so airily-
Used to sway it from and toward her.
Dolly, seated in her pew,
Many wondering eyes were scanning;
fitting up her dainty chin
Toward the parson, softly tanning.
Every little girl in church,
Pity It's to tell such folly
While the parson preached and prayed
Tried to fan her just like Dolly!

widespread revival Although our chapel seats

many are turned away At least 10 have heen

June l. 1884, will ever be a memorable dag in
the history of Methodsm in the Dominion of
Canada. That important day commenced
new era, inasmuch as four branches of the
Methodist family merged themselves into one
denomination. and are known no longer as the
Methodist Church of Canada, the Methodist
Episcopal Church, the Primitive Methodist
Church or Bible Christian Church, but the
Methodist Church. This will be the name of the
Methodist denomination in Canada. The Leg
slatures have by parliamentary enactments
decreed that all the property owned by the late
denominations is to be held by the new organi-
cation.

HONORs TO A CAE4DIAY STATES



Sir John Macdonald, the Premie Of the
Canadian Dominion, who has been some
weeks in England, was, on the 2sth ult. in
vested with the Order Of the Bath by her
Majesty the Queen. In the evening Of that
day, Sir John was entertained by Tn Empire
Cub in London at a magnificent banquet.
The Marquis OF Lorne presided and there
was a most distinguished gathering Of states
men and members of the nobility present.
The Marquis gracefully referred to his pleas
aut residence in Canada, as Governor Gen
eral Of that colony, and proposed the health
in most complimentary terms Of the gentle
man who had that day been invested with
the Order of the Bath bY the Queen.
Sir John Macdonald in replying referred
to the many honors which bad heen conferred
upon him during bis STAY in England, and
thanked those present in the warmest mau-
ner for the enthusiastic way in which bis
health had been drunk, which ne considered
more an honor to the great Dominion be re-
presented than to himself. be reviewed the
forty years of his public life in Canada. and
said that whether he addressed audiences in
the backwoods or in the cities of the Dom
inioD, the sentiment Of loyalty to England
was always welcomed By his hearers. Can
ada, be said, would always, of its own viii,
remain in close connection with Great
Britain, but he thought it was obvious that
there should be closer connection between
the Mother Country and her colony across
the Atlantic. He considered that the propo-
sal for direct representation of the Domin-
ion in the British House of Commons is en-
tirely impractieable. The speech was listened
TO with the closest attention, and was greeted
with hearty applause
Sir John seems to ne great favorite in
royal circles and among the nobility OF Eng
land. 1t has been hinted that he may be
raised to be peer of the realm. Sir John is
justly noted as one Of the ablest statesmen

The Wisconsin Central Invited In.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. &

lNhSN+-- ANAc-A0-A ~ tAc OAt1G-l
CHICAGO, Dec. 4 "A meeting Of the North
western Traffic association will be held next
week at Commissioner Carman's office. 1t is
understood that the prime object of the meet
ing is the consideration Of a new and highly
important problem presented in the Wiscou-
sin Central. This road is now
nearly completed to st. Paul, and win be
ready for business by the beginning Of
the new year. The Wisconsin Central will
furnish really the shortest route between
Chicago ana St Paul and cannot avoid de-
veloping into q formidable competition OF
lines in Mr.. Carmsn's pool. New lines are
very prone to provoke lively rate war in
order 10 get thoroughly advertised. The old
northwestern lines fear such a denou-
m ent, and have undertaken to forestall it BY
instructing the commissioner TO invite the
Wisconsin Central To come within the pool
fold. With the railroads all over the coun-
try so hard pressed, it is believed that the
new conner will deem il judciOus TO accept
the invitation and thus avoid war The
commissioner will probably be ready 10 sub
mit the Central's reply at the approaching
meeting.
