The perfection of the Brewers art has
been reached in the production of the
"Pisener Bert is Of the most beauti-
full amber color, as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as if it were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying a glass, it's ap-
pearance is fully borne out by its taste. 1t
is delicate, with a smart smack of hops and
malt, and leaves a lingering favor on the
tongue. One of its best qualities is it's
lightness, causing no headache, even if
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to. if not
superior, to any of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market: 1t is highly re-
commended for family use, and all orders
will be promptly executed by

The Test of q Woman's Beauty.

A ball dress is not the test of wom-
ans actual beauty; and many woman
bewitching in home attire is insignifi-
cant in grande toilette. Mr. Ruskin,
whose passion for destroying institu-
tions fallen into abuse is equalled only
by his inspiration for suggesting bet
ter ones, has lately raised question as
to the propriety Of girls being wooed
and won in the gay world, where, in a
miserable confusion of candlelight,
moonlight and anything but daylight
in acknowledgements and insanely ex-
pensive dresses, in sratched moments,
in hidden corners, in accidental 1m
pulses and dismal ignorances, young
people, smirk. and ogle and whisper and
whimper and sneak and stumble and
hutter and tumble and tumble and
blunder into what they call love-
However, there is another side to the
picture, although many a man has
probably had the instinct of the French
marquis, just married to a young wife,
looking so radiantly beautiful that, at.
ter gazing at her admiringly for a time,
he tore her gown to pieces by way Of
preventing others from enjoying such a
sight. The marqrise no doubt return
ed her husbands devotion, for she re-
GREETED neither the dress nor the ball,
and declared herself .fattered beyond
measure and proud, Of ssthis unique
proof If his admiration. "-Lippincott's.

Cheap at $50 a Yard.


The present season is certainly RS.
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 its
height and robes of this description ap-
pear in greater contrast than ever be-
side the many toilets of pure white, now
also in such vogue. The wealth of the
Orient and the vivid colcring of the
tropics are to be found in the tapestried,
brocaded and embossed silks, satins and
pushes that glitter with q network OF
beads, which closely, simulate gems in
their brilliancy. This prodigalitv ci
color and combination, while it gives
great scope lor magnifcence in dress,
also gives great chance for excessive
bad taste, thus necessitating the exercise
Of the most delicate Judgment and a
sure artistic eve for harmony, as well
as for appropriateness and good effect.
Among the many regal fabrics now
exhibited by, a celebrated Broadway
house is magnificent bridal satin O!
ivory white, hrocaded with white lilies
and rosebuds, the stamens and pistils
formed of cut crystals and pearls. A
second pattern shows ground of silver
satin brocaded with crimson carnations,
and another, chamber satin, is embossed
with scarlet roses and foliage. Lastly
Is a pale almond satin brocaded with
white anemones, blush roses and forget
me-t1ots. All the above mentioned fab
RIGS are considered low in price at the
rate Of thirty dollars a yard. .-s...

A Maidens Idea Of Marriage.

So she was going to be married! to
b., mistress of a house; settle in Lon
don; be able to go out into the streets
all alone, to shop or visit; have a gen
tleman all her own, which she could
put her finger on any. moment, and
make him take her about, even to the
opera and the theater;; to give dinner
parties her ownself, and even little
ball once in a while; to buy whatever
dresses she thought proper, instead Of
being crippeled by an allowance; have
the legal right of speaking first in soci-
ETY., instead of sitting mumchance and
mock modest; to be mistress instead Of
miss-a contemplate title; to be a
woman instead of girl; and all
this rational liberty, domestic
power, and social dignity were to be OBJ
tanned by merely wedding dear fellow
who loved her and was so nice; and the
bright career to be ushered in with sew
eral delights, each Of them dear to a
girls very soul; presents from all her
friends; as many beautiful new dresses
as if one was changing her body or her
hemisphere instead of her name; eclat F.;
going to church, which is girls theater
of display and temple Of vanity, and
there tasting delightful publicity and
whispered admiration in heavenly
long veil which she could not wear even
once if she remained single. This
bright and variegated picture Of holy
wedlock, as revealed to young ladies by
feminine tradition, though not enumer-
,, ated in the Book Of Common Prayer,
so entranced her that time flew by I'M
heeded.-Charles Reade.

seminal 3 blossoms die earliest and are

male quadrup eds have more endurance
than males. In the human race, de-
spite the sintelle ctual and physical
strength 81 the man, the woman en-
dnres longest and will bear pain to
which the strongest man succumbs.
szymotic Diseases are more fatal
Eto males. and more male
children die than females. Deyer-
90 asserts that the proper
E;tion, dying suddenly is about 10 women
to 78O men; 1,O8Omen in the United
States in 1870 committed suicide, to $50
women. Intemperance, apoplexy,
gout, hydrocep halus, affections Of the
heart and liver, scrofula paralysis, are
far more fatal to males than females.
m'onary consumption, on the other
hand, is more deadly to the latter. Fe-
males in cities are more prone to con-
sumption than in the country. All old
countries not disturbed by emigration
have 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 cali
not be sufficiently priced by the other
sex.

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 it's particles undergo in certain
cond itions.
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,
but 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 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
every view, even the second holding
that filth is a hot-bed for the rapid
growth and multiplication Of the germs,
and that it's influence on the human sys-
tenn is to slower it's vitality and thus
make it good soil for their development.
Hence these diseases ale now universally
known as filth diseases.
The following are fresh illustrations
of the connection between disease and
filth. A severe epidemic of diptheria
recently broke out in the Blind Asy-
lum. Batavia, n. Y. An investigation
! by the State Board of Health showed
that tte drain, which conducted the
sewerage to:a swamp back of the insti-
tuition had fallen in pieces and was wholly
blockaded by the surrounding earth.
Ono of the citizens of Chelsea, q we'll
known lawyer, lately died from q very
violent attak Of typhoid fever. A child
had recently recovered from the same
| disease, This same child had previous

liberia. The house was q fine one, and
everything that met the@eye was scrup-
! ulorsly 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 - Youths Companion.

! Habit Of Thinking Aloud.

The late r. T. Daniel, Attorney-G Gem
eral Of Virginia, was particularly abb
sent minded, and had a habit Of think

which he was then a member, when
Daniel strolled in, and, during mo-
s,nentary pause remark ed ,unco nscionsly
aloud, that Riddleberger 8Wass the

his speech with difficulty, but Daniel

d'Abbadie read paper at the French
Academy on MARSH Fevers,''
and stated that in dam
gerouss regions of African river mouths
immunity from such fevers is often
secured BY sulphur fumigations on the
naked body. Also that the Sicilian
workers IN low ground sulphur mines
suffer much less than the rest OF tile
surrounding population from internit-
tent fevers. M. Fouque has shown
that Zepheria Con the volcanic island Of
Miloor or Milos, the most westerly Of the
Cyclades) which had population of
forty thousand when it was the centre
Of sulphur mining operations, became
nearly depopuIated by marsh fever

farther east and the emanations preven-
ted by q mountain from reaching the
the town. Other similar cases were
stated.--Hall's journal Of Health. 81 s

a Pluch Clerk.

Among the clerks in the Treasury
Department at Washington is 9 young
man who was found buried among the
dead on the field of the second Bull Run.
When the burial squad pulled him out
from among the dead he was found to
have terrible wound in the side, and
his left hand was hanging by a few ten
dons. These he bit off and threw. the
hand away, gave his canteen to q dying
Confederate and crawled off toward the
hospital prefering to help himself, SO
that the squad could search for others
who might be in the same fix. The
next day he received his commission as
Lieutenant. He married the sister OF
the Confederate to whom he gave the
last Crop Of water he had.

Co1ors in Dress.

Nothing is so economical as handsome
black, in spite of its first cost, since it
may bs turned and returned and made
over and over again so long as it 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 has been worn
two or three times, and however care
fully combined or converted into a new
costume, is sure to be "shadowed"
throughout it's existence. Black how
ever unless worn as mourning, is ap-
propriate only for nlatrons and ladies
who have passed the first blush.
White. especially diaphanous
white, is universally becom>
ing when softened by lace and
trimmed with bows and rosettes in col
ored ribbon, in the pretty fashion now
popular. Pale blue is becoming to
blondes and brunettes with clear com
plexion, since it has tendency to dar
ken the shadows. Pale pink and bright
pink suit olive compilations and hair OF
dark, reddish brown tint. Yellow has
tendency to make the skin look fair:
many reds will lend it positively
greenish hue: mauve gives it yellow
tint, and light green Can be worn only
by women with a perfect complexion.
Indeed, the only way to tell whether D
color is becoming is to hold a breadth
of it about the head and neck Or if this
is not practicable, throw it about the
shoulders close to the face.

Another Use for Glycerine.

DR.. 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 teaspoonful
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 III 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, q
perfectly homogeneous jelly-like enlul"
sion is the result.
