French lace continues in favor. and

A new material for summer dresses
bears a close resemblance to scrim.
Ladies in Paris are dressing their

Cashmere is much used in place of
silk to wear under white lace over.
dresses.
Gloves, shoes, stockings, and under.
garments show no symptoms of
change.
1t is not now necessary that the
bonnet be all of one color, as contrasts
are very stylish.
For young ladies' evening dresses
they are using flounces of Valen-
ciennes lace. Some have them deep
and some are narrow, to suit the taste
of the wearer.
Linen collars for both boys and
girls are worn deeper. The Smyrna
or crochetted lace collars and cuffs are
very popular for little girls. These
are quite deep also.
Colored flannel shirts are still very
fashionable for ladies, but they are
embroidered with silk the color of the
skirt, not with different color, such
as pink with blue or blue with cardi-
nal, &c.
The only ornament that should be
used on party dresses for young girls
are natural flowers or ribbons. Col
ored ribbons are very much used
The couture should be simply ar
ranged.
In spring dress fabrics are displayed
many self-cOlored materials. which
are remarkably handsome, all founded
on the old prismatic. but under new
grades, variation7, and titles often
perplexing to comprehend.
Wooden ornaments for dresses and
cloaks are made of white holly that
initiates old ivory, and are carved
or painted. A set consists of buckles,
large pin for the drapory, and but
tons Of two sizes for the basque and
coat.

The state of Jacobs well IL, doubt
less, well-known to the majority of
your readers, even to those who have
not themselves visited the Holy Land.
1t has again and again been described
by the many writers on Palestine, and
all have mentioned their disappoint-
ment that instead of finding any SEM
blance to we'll or anything which
could recall the interview Of our Lord
with the woman Of Samaria, they have
merely found dark, irregular hole
amid mass Of ruins in a vaulted
chamber beneath the surface Of the
ground lhave shared this disappointa
ment on many previous visits to
Nablus, and again as, fortnight ago,
we stood beside the spot, it was with
great regret that we were so utterly
unable to picture before us the scene
so graphically described by the evan
geiist. We had clambered down into
the vault, and were vainly attempting
to peer into the dark hole amid the
heaps of stones and rubbish, when we
CHANGED to notice a few feet from the
opening q dark crack between the
stones. Fancying that possibly it
might be another opening of the well
we removed some stones and earth and
soon were able to trace part Of acarved
aperture in a large slab of stone. Deep
ly interested at finding this we cleared
away more earth and stones and soon
distinguished the circular mouth Of the
well, though it was blocked by an
immense mass of stone Calling to aid
two men who were looking on, with
considerable labor we at length re-
moved it, and the opening of the well
was clear. 1t is impossible to describe
our feelings as we gazcd down the
open well and sat on that ledge on
which, doubtless, the Savior rested, and
felt with our fingers the grooves in the
stone caused by the ropes by which tho
water pots were drawn up.-ReD. c. ".

A European Journal relates that a
few months since workmcn employed
upon some constructions on the bank
of the river Dnicper, in Central Russia,
employed the electric light to enable
them to prosecute their labors at night.
The brilliant rays of light attracted so
many millions of nocturnal moths,
beetles and other insects, that from
time to time it was necessary to stop
work and set all hands to destroying
the clouds of winged victims that fire.
quently completely Ohscured the light
This suggested the idea OF employing
the electric light to destroy nocturna
insects prcjudicial to agriculture, and
experiments in that direction are to no
tried next spring. Not only to Insects
but fish, the light proved fatally a.
tractive. Its rays, directed to the sur
face of the water, drew together vast
quantities of all the fishes found in the
Dnieper, and when within the charmed
field of illumination they lay crowded
together in masses, seemingly blinded
and stupefed. The workmen, improv-
ing the opportunity, made a notable

Jennie June says in the New York
World : There is another great want
in this city, and that is respectable
lodging-houses for women that can
afford topay, Every woman who can
be reached is constantly in receipt of
inquiries like this Do you know of
any place in New York where lady
can get board for a week at a moderate
rate, or where she would feel perfectly
safe foreman over night when in town
on shopping trip or to attend musi-
cal festival p The woman addressed
never does know where to find such
quarters, and is obliged to suggest the
hotel on the European plan as the only
solution to the problem. But why
would not the Amsterdam Woman's
Hotel scheme be good here =? That is
hotel for women only, based on prin-
ciplcs Of moderation and cleanliness.
minus the length and extravaganza Of
our hotel bills Of fare, minus the bar,
the wine-cellar, and the dress-coated
heayily-fed waiter but orderly, clean,
safe and home-like in the best sense
in its culinary department. 1t is one
woman's opinion there would be money
as well as comfort in it.

him Of some negative virtues she pos
sessed. she never drank nor smoked,
never owed bill to her laundress or
tailor; never stayed out all night,
playing billiards; never lounged on the
pier and ogled pretty girls; never in

"Now," said she, rising Indignantly,

A Philadelphia newspaper tells of a
woman who has manipulated a railway
switch for twenty-five years without
once in that time failing to put the
Well-knoWn corrective of the course of
trains in lis proper place SO that the
cars might continue in the way that
they ought to 60. We see nothing to
wonder at in this 1t is admitted that
the woman was married in the long
ago, and that she merely succeeded her
husband on his death as wielder of the
switch. Being married she probably
had children, on whom practice with
the domestic variety of switch had
made her so perfect that she was fully
competent to handle the more ponder
Gus railway instrument as soon as the
necessity for dong so arose. Had the
amiable Philadelphia paper told us of a
woman who had kept her hand off a
switch for twenty-five years we might
have felt inclined to participate in its
mild surprise, but we rise altogether
too early in the land of the setting sun
to be astonished when we hear OF one
managing railway switch, a hickory
switch, or switch of back hair for
any number of years that may be i'm
imagined. - ChicNgo NelCS.

Popping the Qlcs.ion.

A rather fast young man becoming
enamored of a pretty girl, finally de-
cided to make her q formal offer of
his hand and heart-all he was worth
-i,nd then he hoped to be INDUCED in
some lover-like demonstrations the
lady being so far coolly Indifferent to-
ward him. He attributed this to
maidenly reserve,for it never occurred
to him that she was not in love with
him.
He cautiously prefaced his declara-
ton with few questions, for he had
no intention ,.f throwing himself
away" Did she love him well enough
to live in cottage with him? Was
she a good cook and washer? Did she
think it a wife's duty to make home
happy? Would she consult his tastes
and wishes concerning her associates
and pursuits in life? Was she eco
nomical? Could she make her own

Great Dish for the Future.

The following is worth knowing:
The stew is the great dish Of the tu-
ture. The uncertainty of meal taking
brings with it craving for stimulants.
Stews should not be cooked too long as
the best particles evaporate. 1t is i'm
possible to get warm in cold weather
with undigested food in your stomach.
Fish should never be boiled, but steam
ed 50 that no fine properties are
dissolved in the water and so lost.
Exclusive diet on peas, beans and
lentils do not develop the brightest and
quickest tone of mind in man. Food
is only coarse when coarsely cooked,
as the plainest materials contain
nutritious and dainty elements. 1t is
a great mistake to eat half raw meats
If meals are kept irregular in youth,
something creeps up in adult age
which shows diminished vitality. The
want of a warm meal in the middle OF
the day is to people who have had but
slight breakfast and have been in the
cold winter air, the cause Of disease
and want of vitality.

One of the first duties of Il woman,
says an English paper, is to always
look as pretty as possible.
And, what is more, woman ought no
more neglect trying to look pretty TO
the end of her days than she ought to
forget to do her duty.
1t goes without saying that wives
mothers and madens Shall be good
tempered, skilled in housewifery, true
hearted and kindly-tempcrtd
Leaving the greater matters of the
unwritten laws of life, however. among
the minor ones is that which makes it
an instinct with beauty to adorn itself.
But grandmother is pretty still, and
will always be pretty till the white
hands are clasped over the quiet breast,
and she goes home to those who went
home before her.
a woman, no matter how poor she
is and how deep the cares of family,
ought to take more and more pains with
her dress as time rolls on. A young
girl may wear almost anything. a
matron, however, who has lost the
first plump charm and indeinable
beauty of youth, has to be careful.
A bit of ribbon here, a touch of color
there ;charm of face and figure, shape
ly hands and pretty feet, comcly
waist and supple neck here and there
and everywhere about beauty's person,
from the curve of the dainty little pink
ear to the slope of the shoulders and
the carriage of the person, there is one
manifest voice to be heard-"I am try
ing to look my best"
Who does not know the dear old
grandmother, whose sweet wrinkled
face, clean cap, clean dress and lavend-
er-scented lace collar carry one back to
childhood's days There are years
there, and the experience of trouble,
the sadness of losses, memories of bri-
dals and of graves, and rapid ap-
proach to those silent churchyard gates

The Christian at Work turns its bat
teries upon the female bangs and says;
at is about time some one was APP
pointed to make an investigation on
the subject and see whether the girls
nowadays really have any foreheads,
or whether they have all gone off,
like Pats gun, with bang A
sensible writer in the MtelHgencer
says that men seem to wear them as
they used to do. And ladies, also, of
advanced or advancing years. But as
| go to the city daily, and see in the
streets and on the cars and ferryboats
whole beves of bright and beautiful
girls, | am constantly wondering at
il not admiring, the ingenuity dis
played in covering up, hiding, and
practically getting rid of this crown
ing feature Of the human face divine,
What it has done, or what change has
passed upon it, that it should he so
ANONYMOUSLY expelled from sight, l am
unable to discover or imagine. Time
was when a lover might have been
as much enraptured with his mistress,
fair brow as with her beautiful eyes
but now he can only sing, if he sings
at all, the fascinating friz, the delight
full fluff, or the lovely bang his lady
wears, behind which her forehead long
since Disappeared
To me it seems against nature. Ii
she had wanted the forehead covered
up with hair, she'd have made it grow
there, like the beard on a mans chin.
| wonder if you like it any better than
| do? | don't believe the minister
does, for I've noticed two or three
times, when he had girls to baptize,
he could hardly find a spot on the
foreheads big enough to put his fin
gers on, and il did seem to trouble him
little. Perhaps l oughtn't to say
it, and yet somehow it set me to Won
dcring how the angel it speaks Of in
the Book Of Revelation could find
room to seal the servants of God in
their foreheads or write their Fathers
name there if they were all covered up
like that.
I'm very much afraid we've seen
the last of them the foreheads, |
mean-and another generation won't
have any, unless change comes very
quick. You know these scientific
men say that faculty or organ that
is constantly disused-I believe that
is it-tends to disappear altogether.
And why not a feature too? can't
bear to think of all the beautiful
foreheads covered with hair growing
down to the eyes, can you? And yet,
what's to hinder don't see, if the hair
is deliberately and steadily trained to
grow there. The old artists knew bet
ter than we. not to take the regality
from the feminine face, by hiding the
brow under a mop of hair. The beau,

And imagine Florence Nightingale
going about in l-ngs.
