The present season is certainly 70
markable for the splendor and elegance
of its fabrics and costumes. The; rage
for new and intense effects and com.
binations seems to have reached id
height and robes of this description app
pear in greater contrast than ever be-
side the many toilets of pure white, nov
also in such vogue. The wealth Of the
Orient and the vivid coloring of the
tropics are to be found in the tapestried,
brocaded and embossed silks, satins and
plushes that glitter with a network 81
beads, which closely simulate gems il
their brilliancy. This proaigalitY 81
color and combination, while it gives
great scope lor magniticence in dress,
also gives great chance for excessive
bad taste, thus necessitating the exercise
of the most delicate Judgment and d
sure artistic eye for harmony, as well
as for appropriateness and good effect.
Among the many regal fabricstnoN
exhibited by a celebrated Broadway
house is o magnificent bridal satin a
ivory white, brocaded wish white ilies
and rosebuds, the lstamens and pistils
formed Of cut crystals and pearls. a
second pattern shows q ground Of silver
satin brocaded with crimson carnations,
and another, of amber satin, is embossed
with scarlet roses and foliage. Lastly
is. a pale almond satin brocaded with
white anemones, blush roses and forget
me-nots. All the aforementioned fab
RIGS are considered low in price at the
rate of thirty dollars 9 yard.

colors1n pre,s.

Nothirs is SO economical as handsome
black, in spite of its first cost, since il
may be turned and returned and made
over and over again SO long asst holds
together, and Mrs. Grundy's sharp
eyes may fail to recognize it after each
transformation. On the other hand, .
colored dress in any positive shade, be-
comes marked after it hns been worn
two or three times, and however care
fully combined Or converted into a new
costume, is sure to be .tshadoweds
throughout its existence. Black how
eyer unless worn as mourning, is ap-
propriate only for matrons and ladies
who have passed the first blush.
White, especially diaphanous
white, is universally becom,j
ing when softened by lace and
trimmed with bows and rosettes in col
ored ribbon, in the pretty fashion nov
popular. Pale blue is becoming to
blondes md brunettes with clear COM
plexion, since it has q tendency to dar-j
ken the shadows. Pale pink and bright
pink suit olive compilations and hair Of
dark, reddish brown tint. yellow has
a tendency to make the skin look fair;
many reds will lend it q positively
greenish hue; mauye gives it q yellow
tint, and light green can be worn only
by women with perfect complexion.
Indeed, the only way to tell whether
color is becoming is to hold q breadth
of it about the head and neck o ifstlisi
is not practicable, throw it about ths
shoulders close to the face.

Generated Poisons.

There are three views respecting the
origin of most infectious diseases.
The first is that they originate from
impalpable poisons, produced from filth
during some of the chemical changes
which its particles undergo in certain
conditions.
A second is that they are due to living
organisms, mostly microscopic plants,
introduced into the system through the
mouth or lungs, the product of living
germs outside of the body.
The third is in part like the second,
hut it claims that the living germs,
are generated directly, apart from all
parent germs, from elementary particles
of filth, during the various processes of
their decomposition and decomposition.
The last view is held by the advocates
not a large number-of the theory of
spontaneous generation"
The first is the old view, and is still
maintained by many strong advocates.
The second is a wholly modern view,
and rests mainly on the discovery of the
parasites by the microscope.
Filth. however, lies at the basis of
GNeth view, even Tile second nOlQlnS
that filth is a hot-bcd for the rapid
growth and multiplication of the germs,
and that its influence on the human svs.
TEN is to lower it's vitality and thus
make it good soil for their development.
Hence these diseases are now universally
known as filth diseases.
The following are fresh illustrations
of the connection between disease and
filth. A V epidemic Of diptheria
recently broke out in the Blind Asy-
lunl, Batavia. N. Y. An investigation
by the State Board of Health showed
that the drain, which conducted the
sewerage to n swamp back of the insti.
tuition hadfallen inpieces and was wholly
%blockaded by the surrounding earth.
One OF the citizens of Chelsea, a we'll
known lawyer, lately died from o very
violent attah Of typhoid fever. A child
had recently recovered from the same
disease. This same child had previous
ly had attacks of scarlet fever and dip
iberia. The house was a fine one, and
everything that met the eye was scrup-
| u%lously neat. But on tearing up the
! basement tioor-at the urgent request
of the family physician-there was
found beneath an immense mass Of filth,
the sewerage-pipe being broken in two
places.-Youth's Companion.

Helpful Hints.

Vegetables should be steamed or
boiled rapidly.
A few drops Of ammonia in the bath
lng-tub ~cleanses the skin wonderfully.
It is stated that a dried apple is
greatly improved by the addition of a
beaten egg.
The dust may be easily removed from
a carpet by covering the broom with a
damp cloth.
Pastry should be mixed as cold as
possible, and kneaded slightly. rolled
out and baked Immediately.
Two parts of linseed oil and one of
alcohol make an excellent varnish f..
furniture. Apply with a soft rag.
Bags made of Canton flannel, drawn
over the broom, are very useful for
busting walls and hardwood floors.
A piece of mesquite netting, slightly
damp, is considered by many the best
thing to dust painted woodwork with.
A few drops of a solution of glycerine
a little camphor rubbed on the hands
while damp will render them soft and
comfortable.
High medical authority recommends
the use of vaseline for relieving the
burning and itching sensation Of the
eruption of scarlet fever. Three OF
four applications to the surface of the
body will usually suffice.

Habit Of Thinking Aloud.

The late R. T. Daniel, Attorney-Gen
eral OF Virginia, was particularly alb
sent minded, and had q habit Of think
ing aloud. Once, it is related, the
present Senator Riddleberger was max
ing a speech in the Legislature, 81
which he was then a member, when
Daniel strolled in, and, during mo
mentary pause remarked, fundamentally
aloud, that Riddleberger was stha
blankedest fool he ever Jaw The,
House reared, Riddleberger finished
his speech with difficulty, but Daniel
had no idea Of what he had done. Soon
after he was elected Attorney-Ge General,
and Riddleberger came TO him, shook
hands, congratulated him warmly md
said he had worked Tor him as hard as
any man in the State, Although.
he added .syou said one daySwhen i
was speaking in the Legislature that 4

seminate blossoms die earliest and are

seminate blossoms die earliest and are
produced on the weaker limbs. Fe-
male quadrupeds have more endurance
than males. In the human race, de-
spite the intellectual and physical
strength of the man, the woman en-
dures longest and will bear pain to
which the strongest nan succumbs.
Iymotic diseases are moro fatal
to males, and more male
children die than females. Dever-i
ga asserts that the proper
ton, dying suddenly is about 10 women:
to 7s0 men; 1,080 men in the United
States in 1870 committed suicide, to 285
women. Intemperance, apoplexy,
govt, hydrocephalus, affections Of the
heart and liver, scrofuln paralysis, are
far more fatal to males than females.
Pulmonary consumption, on the other
hand, is more deadly to tlelatter. Fee
males in cities are more prone to o n
sumption than in the country. All old
countries not disturbed by emigration
have a great majority OF females in the
population. In royal families the sta
tistics show more daughters than
sons. The Hebrew woman
is exceptionally long lived; the colored.
man is exceptionally short lived. The
married state is favorable to the pro-
longation of life among women. DR..
Hough proclaims that there are from 2
to 6 per cent. more males born than fe-
males in the living population. From
which statistics we conclude that all
women ought to marry, and that men
are likely to become SO scarce they can
not be sufficiently priced by the other
Sex.

workers in foreground sulphur mines
suffer much less than the rest of the
surrounding population from intermit-
tent feyers. NJ. Fouaue has shown
that Zepheria ION the volcanic island of
Miloor or Milos, the most westerly of the

R. j. Burdette in Burlington Hawk-Eye.
The train ia in the air so much of the
time you think you are flying. And
not merely flying over little culverts
Al d seven by nine creeks, but jumping
from ono mountain to another. At
Quakake Junction you can stand on the
moutain side and look at the mountain
until your eyes ache and then rest them
on one of the lovelies, broadcast valleys
the sun ever laughed upon. And by and
by the flying begins. As you zeal Nc
Auley's Mountain, you begin to see
some splendid railroad engineering
work, and at Ringtown you enjoy the
first flyer, a little swing across the Cat
awaissa on a bridge 1910 feet long and
1876 feet high. You keep your face
glued to the window, for there isn't q
mile of scenery fit to be missed now.
Catawissa Mountain looms up in broken
lines ank rugged grandeur, and the
man who can describe the scenery on
the creek at Stranger Hollow doesn't
write with my pen.
Mountains upon mountains and
mountains behind them again draw you
from II side of the car to the other,
until you fairly weary of grandeur and
have run out of adjectives twenty miles
ago. AS the Nescopec Mountains hold
the skies up for you to run under, you
catch your breath and make the leap
and away we go across Long Hollow
bridge, 1850 feet long and 125 feet
high; then, before you have scarcely
time to pull yourself together, here
they come, close as hurdles in a circus
ring, Fishers bridge, 755 feet long and
124 feet high, with a valley to look at
that charms you into forgetfulness Of
the bridge; then Mine Gap bridge, 600
feet long and 103 feet high; hooplal
Mainville bridge, 700 feet long and Ito
feet high-breezy work, isn't it?
And SO w go, jumping creeks and
rivers, on past Catawissa, and here we
are at Danville, capital of Montour,
Pennsylvania, and who wouldn't 90 to
Danville down a road so airy and

pale stone which he wears in his watch

day while surveying in the woods on the

Forty years afterwards my father, then

sets he found this stone: he recognized
it, ard upon investigation found that
ten years previously it had been found
by Mr.. Kale in the woods where nv

there for thirty years. It isn't worth
much, but it would take a good deal of

Another us. Tor a,yo.r.n..

DIR. Soper in the Lancet, recommends
the use of a mixture Of equal parts Of
glycerine and castor oil, slightly favored
with oil of almonds or lemon, as an
agreeable substitute for castor oil. He
states that of this mixture q teaspoonfMl
is an effective dose, and in cases Of
chronic constipation, hemmorrhoids and
anaemia, it has proved most useful.
Tablespoonful doses have also been
found useful in the early stages Of bron-
chitis, in which it seems to promote
emulation from the bronchial tubes and
is certainly expectorant. By first pour.
ing the glycerine into a morton, and
adding the castor oil very gradually,
triturating thoroughly meanwhile, :
perfectly homogeneous jelly-like emul-
sion is the result.

Australian shsep.

An Australian paper says: A1amb
dropped at Woorvoma, province of Vic
toria, in April, and shorn on the 18th
Of September, gave 6 pounds of very
fine wool, belly trimmings not included.
His girth behind the shoulders was
80 IL inches; he measured 43 ga inch
es from the top of the head behind the
horns to the butt Of the tail. He pulled
the scale down ut 100 pounds. The
lambs are all extremely fat and heavy.
These sheep were from Rambonillettis,
imported before Louis Philippe fed
from the throne of France. Fresh
blood from the same flock was intro
duced in the time OF Napoleon III.
The rams in this flock have always clip
ped heavily. At 2 years old, 10 l-2
pounds and IL IL pounds were the
weights of two feeces. At 3 years old,
the former gave 8 pounds of clean
washed wool. For eight years the two
sheep clipped annually from the first
named weights down to II pounds and
Is 1-2 pounds. The sheep have ALWAYS
to get their living on the station; no
hand-feeding is resorted to at any time.

Castor OIL for Shoe r.ea.her.

There is one simple article which will
render any decently-made boot thor
oughly impervious. 1t is nothing more
nor less than cold-drawn castor oil,
pure and simple" 1t is best applied
before q moderate fire. The boots to
be dressed should be quite clean and
dry, and special care should be given to
the welt and the tongues, and their
stitching to the upper feathers. I gen
orally begin by pouring the oil from the
bottle all around the welt SO that the
angle between the sole and upper leath-
er is quite filed with oil, and then pro-
coed all oyer the boot, including tho
edges of the soles, rubbing
it in with the hand. When
one is done, have q turn at the
other, and so alternately till you have
got in about a tablespoonful and q halt
to each boat. The tongues, being thin
ner leather, should be quite saturated.
Subsequent dressing will not require
so much oil. I have never found any
thing to touch this as q waterproof Of
dressing; the gelatinous oil seem to eff
f~ectually stop every pore in the leather.
There is another advantage for those
who are natty in such matters-the'boots
will soon take as good Common black
ing) polish-so much so that a man
may, if he likes, waterproof ais ordin-
airy walking-boots for bid weather
without spelling their appearance.
With q common walking-boot of ordin-
ary thickness apply the oil over the sole.
Shooting, 1 wear boots SO treated, over
thick wooden socks, from eight to twelve
hours a day, for more, without feeling
the slightest inconvenience in any way
but they have the chilly feel insepara-
bic from all boots that are oiled in that
way.

Eust in wheat.
From the Mechanical World.

a NV J. L.
Rust is n of the most formidable
enemies the grain farmer
has to contend with in wet and muggy
seasons Warmth and moisture favor
its developmnt. In seasons alike in.
their heat, rainfall and humidity, the
rust is not equally damaging. It breaks
out in what appears a capricious man
ner. A drenching rain is some
times followed by less rust than that
which appears after a slight shower of
even aheavy dew. There are a~ntecalent
conditions which largely determine the
degree of liability to rust. The micro
scopic spores of th. fungus known rs
rust float about in tie air awaiting IA
yorable opportunities for development,
and when they meet circumstances of
the proper kind they null
tiply with astonishing rap
idly. During moist, hot weather,
the sap vessels of the plants become
ruptured and fungold germs attach
themselves readily. Ii the plants,
some scientists think, are healthy and
vigorous, they resist the attempt of the
parasite to establish itself, much as
healthy animals refuse to become the
abode of parasites which thrive on their
weaker fellows. Anything, therefore,
which weakens the vitality of the wheat
plant renders it liable to become the
prey of rust. Exhaustion of food ele-
ments i'll the soil, the presence about
the roots of sour, stagnant water, sow
ing for late in the fall for proper de.
yelopment to resist the winter, are
among common and easily preventible
causes, hard winters and cold, backward
springs, which prevent the healthy de-
velopment of the wheat plant, are among
the most prominent-next, Of course, to
warmth and moisture. These conditions
have existed this year, SIS they did in
1876, when the damage from rust was
widespread and very serious. Fortu-
nately, midgeand weeyil were not among
the pests of last summer, MS they were
iii that unfortunate season. tsWhat can
not be cured must be endured b1t the
causes which can be reached should not
be suffered to exist. Good farming in
the broadcast sense of the term, which
includes proper selection of lands for
different crops, propes preparation Of
the soil and proper culture, is the
best preventative of serious damage
from rust.
