PARASLS.

We cannot and will not deny
it-business is backward In
many departments; one of these
departments is that OF Parasols.
The recent heavy rains have
not tended to improve bust
ness--we shall improve it by
our never failing method. Par
soils will be more in demand
now than they have been any
time this season. We have
got more of them than we have
ever had at this time Of the
wear. We have marked them
down for ONE WEEK.
We expect our new prices
will sell enough OF them this
week TO reduce the stock to
the size we want it.

Tarring q Rat.
or SO.

Rats are wonderfully clean animals,
and they d slike tar more, perhaps,
than anything else, for IL it once gets
in their. Jackets they find it most ditf-
cult to remove it. Now, / had heard
it mentioned that pouring tar down at
the entrance OF their holes was a good
remedy, also p.aeing broken pieces of
glass by their holes was another rem
edy. BIT these remedies are not eff
fectIYe. The rats may leave the old
holes and make fresh ones in other
parts of the house; they don't, how
ever, leave the premises for good. I
thought I would try another expert
ment-one I had not heard OF before.
One evening / set q large Wire-cage
rat-trap, attaching inside q most Sc
ductiVe piece Of strongly smelling
cheese, and next morning I found, to
my satisfaction, that I had succeeded
in trapping a very large rat. one OF the
largest I had ever seen, which, after /
had bameared him with tar, I left
loose into his favorite run The next
night I tried again and succeeded in
catching another equally big fellow,
and served him in the same manner.
/ could o folIow thesetWo besmeared
rats into their numerous runs to see
what would happen. but it is reason
able to assume that they either sum-
moned together all the members OF
their community, and by their crest
fallen appearance gave their comrades
silent indications of the misfortune
which had 50 suddenly befallen them,
or that they frightened their brethren
away, for they one and all forsook the
place and fed. The experiment was
eminentIy successful. From that day,
in 1876, till now, 1883, my house, an
Gent though it is, has been entirely
free from rats; and / believe that there
is no remedy equal to this one, if you
can catch your rat alive. They never
come back to the house again.-ch0m-
bers' Journal.

The Glory OF Washington.

The visitor at this time realizes that
the glory of Washington is in its
trees, says a letter from the national
capital. Every street and avenue is
lined with the n; they shade the parks
and little triangles and squares OF
green which the peculiar conformation
of the city PAGES at almost every treet
corner. Washington, with more than
q hundred miles of trees in its streets
NOT including those in the parks
surely sets a good example to othef
American cities, so many of which
have allowed their trees to die out and
be crowded out, until their streets look
like tunnels in broWn-stone quarfies or
brickyards.
It is fortunate, too, in another re-
spect as a city of residence. Having
no commerce and no heavy traffic in its
streets, it can maintain the smooth
asphalt pavements and make carriage
driving here easier than on a Well-kept
country road. In one particular it is
still far behind the metropolitan stand
ard. The detestable brick sidewalks
still exist in almost all parts of the
city, and with their bulges and holoWs
wrench the feet so badly that it is a
common thing for pedestrians to tax e
to the streets, which are much better
adapted for walking than the side
walks. The squares, circles and other
parks alluded to are a special feature
of the capital. Many are beautifed
with beds Of flowers set out from the
government gardens and thoroughly
cared for. They furnish delightful
outlooks for the houses grouped about
them, and are a continual pleasure to
the eye of the ~passer-by. Many of
the public buildings are surrounded
with slopes of Well-tendeI grass,
dotted with beds of flowers.

How to Live In Cold Water.

Kyle, the business manager OF Cap
tain Webb, gives what he represents
to be the secret of that mans ability
to remain long in cold water. "At
d time Captain Webb was in charge
of d coasting vessel which sailed for
Lapland,'' SAYS Kyle. HE noticed
that while he stood shivering on deck,
wrapped in furs and f1annels, the Laps
would 90 out into the ice-cold water
and remain there for hours. There
was the secret he was after. How was
1t that they could stand the cold SO
much better than he could? He de-
termined to learn the secret, and plead
ing sickness sent the vessel home IN
charge Of the first officer. He lived
with this people for nine months,
studied their diet. their method OF
living, and lived as they lived. He
then returned to- England, and 70
NAMED for two years upon the east
coast Of England, existing upon blub-
Der and the skins of fish. He had
learned the secret of maintaining his
normal temperature and keeping the
blood in the veins and arteries in near
~ the same state Of richness In the
water. He found no more blue veins,
nc more ch lis. He outWitted the doc
tors, and discovered, or at least utll.
lied, q scientific fact.

An information Clab.

A number OF ladies met one day
for purposes Of social improvement.
One Of their number proposed that
each member Of the party should in
form the company Of the last new
thing she had learned. Amid much
laughter the plan was agreed upon.
A young married lady began by telling
how to make a new kind Of fancy
bread. Then Mrs. Smith spoke: 81
had two holes in my brown cashmere
dress. I could not darn them, nor
patch them, nor take a piece out to
look well, and 1 was bound not to
make a bad job Of it. l don't mind a
mended place IN a calico dress, but a
good cashmere would look so like an
old one, darn it never so nicely, and
press it never so we'll. A friend
showed me her black merina that she
had mended charmingly by wetting a
piece of court plaster Of exactly Che
same shade as the goods, and putting
it on the wrong side, pressing down
every frayed edge and every thread.
and laying a weight on it until it was
thoroughly dry" Mrs. Green then
stated that deodorized sulphur brushed
well into the scalp with a stiff brush
was excellent for making the hair
grow, The little school teacher gave
her method for crimping hair; she
dampened it a little at night, then put
in closely, n after another, some
pieces of those long combs that little
girls wear. The broken pieces put in
closely at the sides made nice, large
ripples that remained in for a day or
two, if the front hair was handled
carefully and not drawn tightly. And
SC on through the entire circle. Every
lady gave some bit of useful informa-
ton to her interested listeners. Don't
you think this plan Of entertainment
a good one, ladies?

Felt derbys with large birds for
trimming are exhibited, and make
durable hats for the seashore.
Bows of pink ribbon or pink velvet
are worn around the wrists In the
morning instead of bracelets.
Cream-colored porcupine straws
adorned with self-colored trimmings
are the most admired shade hats.
The coming dress sleeve o~bIiterates
the shoulder-seam of thee orsage, ex-
tending in a pint to the neck of the
dress.
Skirts are still round, a trihe longer
PERHAPS than last season, but they do
not drag, and must always clear the
ground.
Colored transparencies are much
usel with muslin; they serve to set off
the embroidery when the muslin is
open-Work or dotted.
One of the newest walking hats il
the rough English straw, deeply
pointed front and back, sides broad and
rolled close against the croWn.
Sashes of the same material as the
dress are worn with large loops and
ends falling over the tournure so as to
increase that bouffant effect so much
desired.
Long silk gloves are finished around
the eige by two deep ruties of lace the
color of the gloves. Sometimes a mar
row satin ribbon is tied about the end
of the glove.
Silver braid and fine gray chenille
cord plated in basket designs make
dressy bonnets, particularly when
trimmed with white and gray ostrich
feathers and ornaments of silver.
Some pretty capes are cut open up
each side, from the shoulder down
ward, and tied together, OF laced across
with narrow velvet ribbon. A novelty
is to loop up the right side Of the cape
to the top Of the arm in small folds,
and finish it off with two OR three
pompons in the center of double loops
of velvet.
The entire skirt of large plaids or
DlOckss o gOreQs DuG gatnered or
plated in at the waist, or to a hip
yoke, with the bodice and sleeves of
plain stuff, the panniers and pouf epau-
Iettes and cuffs, and a small fichu or
large collar of the plaid stuff, make up
the costume in some of the fall impor-
tations.
The newest %parasols have divisions,
cut out about the edges in deep tri-
angles instead of the usual curves.
One recently 10 was o -black satin,
covered with peaches in black chenille,
a fringe of deep black Spanish lace,
sewn with gold thread, finishing the
edge. 1t was lined with ~gold-colored
satin, which was pinked out, and which
showed under the lace for an inch
or SO.

The difference between a cyclone
and tornado is SO clearly defined in the

duce it:

81 three hundred miles and sometimes
as much as q thousand miles in diam
eter. which originates in the tropics
and moves diagonally over the surface
of the earth northWard or southwark.
The center of the cyclone is q region OF
calm. al tornado is a Whirling wind
storm, generally only a few hundred
yards Id diameter, the center Of which
Is occupied By the CHARACTERISTIC cone

destructive power is terrific
