Storing Eurs in summer.

When we put furs into storage for
the season." said a furrier recently,
"our first care is to beat them thorough
ly with rattans to drive the dust out,
and get rid Of the moth eggs that may
have been laid In them, or been blown
INTO them from the air. This done,
they are hung on wire frames that
distend them, and put into closets that
are lined with tar paper. Moths cannot
stand the strong odoT of tar, and never
live long under its influence. Every
three or four weeks the furs are taken
from the closets and beaten with rat
tans; and 50, in the course Of a season,
every article has to be handled at least
a dozen times. In old times camphor
was used; but it has been discovered
that 1t had a tendency to detract from
their color, and make them much
lighter in hue. Isuppose there is some
thing in the dyes used for sable and
other dark turs that camphOr influences.
Old women still use that drug, how
ever, and WREN you see a sealskin sack,
or cloak, or dolman that shows streaks
of gray or a muddy yellow, you can be
sure that Il has been kept in camphOr
through the hot weather. The whole
secret in keeping furs is to beat all the
dust out of them, and then keep them
in a close closet impregnated with the
odOr of tar. Another old preventive
was pepper, either cayenne or common
black, but this has been abandoned;
and some good housekeepers used to
keep their furs in tobacco-cuttings. l
have seer moths flourish in tobacco,
and, where l have seen insect powders
used, they have sometimes injured the
furs in some way or Lave been totally
useless in guarding them from their
bitter foe.
Another desideratum in storing
furs is strict cleanliness. We wash all
the closets every spring with water and
common washing soda, and the latter
serves to destroy any moth eggs that
may have got into the places. Thus
our, closets are never invaded by the
moth; but should we show -carelessness
for a single week the result would be
disastrous. Muffs, collars and other
small articles we keep in boxes, pack.
ing with them sufficient tar paper to
keep out the moths, and the shelves on
which they stand are always keep free

A Pullman car conductor said: you
have no idea of the number of towels
and sheets that are lost during the year
by the company. The bosses have
tried time and again 10 put a stop to
this loss, but it goes on all the same,
although the conductor is held respOn-
slble for all the articles entrusted to
his a I've been in the service a
good while, and to save my life l
haven't been able TO find out positively
where the towels go. | have come to
the conclusion that the passengers soil
them and throw them out of the win
dow. I've seen this thing done fire.,
ouently, and | honestly believe that
the passengers think the towels don't
cost anything. It's rather rough on a
conductor to be compelled to pay foI
articles he has never used, but then |
D that some sort or a system has
to be adopted and carried out. |
think, however, that the towels should
be made larger, so that passenger could
never excuse themselves for going of
with one by saying they thought it was

Grave DisgeTs.

My acquaintance with gIave.diggers,
considering its length, was unremark-
able. One, indeed, whom | found ply
ing his spade in the red evening, high
above Allan Water, and in the shadow
of Dunblane Cathedral, told mt of his
acquaintance with the birds that still
attended his labors; how some would
ever perch about him, waiting for their
prey !; and, in a true Sections Calendar,
how the species varied with the season
of the year. But this was the very po-
etry of the profession. The others
whom | knew were somewhat dry. A
faint flavor of the gardener hung about
them, but sophisticated and disbloomed.
They had engagements to keep, not
alone with the deliberate series of the
seasons, but with mankind's clocks and
hour-long measurement of time. And
thus there was no leisure for the relish
ing pinch or the hour-long gossip, foot
on spade. They were men wrapped up
in their grim business ; they liked well
to open l~ong-closed family vaults, blow
ing in the key and throwing wide the
grating, and carried in their minds a
calendar of names and dates 1t would
be ''in ifty-twa" that such a tomb was
last opened for 'Miss Jemimy.n 1t was

Colorado springs,

The Colorado anemOne is not like the
the New England anemone, but resem-
bles crocuses out in chinchilla furs.
The mountain lilies are like low-grow-
ing tuberoses without the heavy frag-
rance. Driving through a narrow val
ley one morning early last spring, says
a correspondent, | came upon these
blossoms. The Southern slope was
studded with the pure, wax-white stars
of the mountain lily, slender and deli
cate, opening their slim petals to the
sun, and lifting up their grass-like
leaves Ike tiny arms to shelter the
blossoms from the wind. The opposite
slope was purple with the anemones
swinging INT nodding every way.
Birds were wrapped up in their furs as
if the wind were a little too cold yet:
but they were not all chinchilld, for l
found the brown sealskins and almost
pure white ermines; some were just
y~enturing out of their furs, while 9TH
ers had entirely outgrown theirs, and
were lifting their heads up high, gayly
noddlng welcome and encouragement
to their delicate neighbors across the
way. AS they bent and swung, the
gold and silver of the stamens and pis-
ills seemed to pour out of the full cups.
Although the ToWnsendia (peep.o'-
spring is a common name for it), which
looks much like a daisy, comes first, it
is found in warm, protected spots; but
the anemones brave the winds and the
SHOWS, and clothe the bare, open hill
sides and northern slopes in purple and
gold. The native grass on the plains
and commons is still brown, and will
be for another month; the lawns and
gardens are green and starting finely;
the cotton woods that line III streets
are budding slowly; they will soon be
out now, for the water is let into the
rrigating bitches, and its babble sounds
ike spring. The farmers are at work
turning up the rich black soil on the
outskirts of the city; early vegetables
are up, and raspberry and currant
shrubs are in full leaf. There is plenty
of snow in the mountains-mOre now
than there has been at times through
the winter. The men at the station on
Pixies Peak had been showed in for
four weeks, when three weeks ago one
of them came down to town. Since
then the other nan has been alone up
there. Although we have heard moth
ing from him, we see him every day by
means of the telescope.

Ladies' Stationery.

Few things, among personal belong,
ings, speak more plainly of refinement,
or its opposite than the sort of station
cry that one uses. Even now one
shudders at the recollection of certain
envelopes of e~xtravagant naTrowness
and Of a violet solferino hue, which
were used by fashionable young ladies
some eighteen or twenty years ago.
Hardly better, however, are the styles
of to-day. Stationers have gone quite
daft on the subject of fancy writing
papers, We see not only stationery of
every color, but of every texture from
the tough, thin, foreign paper to the
thick and hideouS imitation of alligator
skin and pebbled leather. Some time
ago folk laughed at enthusiastic seekers
for oddities who were writing notes
upon paper which had to all appearance
been through a fire. The edges were
scorched and irregular dashes of what
seemed to be smoke defaced the page.
Now these same lovers of novelty are
rejoicing in stationery which looks as
though it had been sprinkled with
muddy water and then dried. It's hue
is dingy, its edges are crumpls d and
dirty, but how happy are these maidens
who use it. They are in the fashion.
They care comparatively little what
they write, since they are quite certain
they have the ''newest thing" in writ
ing paper. The convenient fashion Of
correspondence cards is passing by, yet
perhaps it is not TO be considered
altogether a pity, for, while pleasant, it
was just one of those easy fashions
which tempt the sending of a multitude
of hasty little billets, and lead us to
neglect more than ever, letter-writting
as a fine and graceful art. To repeat
what has been said many times without
effect, ecceutricity IS never truly
elegant, and people of the finest breed
ing use plain white paper of the antique
parchment, or royal Irish linen brands,
They do not indulge in colored inks,
neither are their pages perfumed. The
only addition to the plain white station
ery-saye the tnfing one of the
thoughts expressed thereon by the
WRITER'S the seal, neatly made of red
or violet wax, and clearly impressed by
the signet ring, with the crest of the
family arms. To conclude with a
friendly warning to those very youth
full letter-writers who most affect fancy
stationery, be very sure of your spell
ing and your chirography before you
call attention to either by the splendor
or novelty of the paper on which you
write.

The window presented by Prince Bis
marck and his cousins TO the Germanic
Museum in Nuremberg, was put up in
May. 1t was painted by the artist
Eisgruber after a cartoon designed by
Professor Wanderer, and represents a
mighty oak tree, on either side of
which, in order to denote the warlike
character Of the members OF the Bis
marck family, stands a man clad In the
armor of the 10th century, one OF
whom shows the striking features of
the Iron Chancellor. These two war
riors support the family coat-of-arms,
above which, III the top Of the oak tree,
is the princely escutcheon. On either
side are the armorial bearings of the
Counts of Bismarck (WuTtemberg
branch and those Of the Bismarck
Bohlen family, together with q variety
of military emblems, among them the
arms and equipments Of the regiment
of cuirassiers, of which Prince Bis.
marck is the commander, and those Of
the regiment of dragons, in which

The steamship Nacooche, of the Ocean
Steamship Company, which was found to
be on fire between decks shortly after
leaving Savannah for New York few
days ago, had on board three thousand
boxes of Florida oranges consigned to
parties in New York. After the fire was
extinguished ON Tuesday the oranges
were taken out of the steamer and found
to have all been thoroughly cooked by
the steam which was used in extinguish-
ing the flames, so that they are utterly
worthless. The steamer was but little
damaged, but besides the oranges large
amount of cotton was more or less dam
aged by fire and water. 1t is estimated
that the damage to the cargo will amount
to between $4,000 and $25 ,000.-Times
