Manner Of Trimming BOnnetS.

The object of all decoration on small
bonnets is to add to their height and
narrowness; hence the single cluster
which forms the entire trimming is
placed directly on top and in front, in
stead of slightly toward the left side in
the way so long in vogue. Some Coronet
bOnnets are seen that are to be trimmed
with a smooth fabric if the face is
large, or with soft puf1s or with lace
for those who have small faces Fanci-
full GALLONS and passementerie made
of gilt, of braid, cord, and chenille, are
also used on coronets, and some loops
of these braids may be added in the
cluster of trimming. A cOckade bow or
rosette of red velvet ribbon on which
are two OF three swallows is a pretty
trimming for gray or brown felt bon
nets. Many green felt bonnets are
trimmed with dull Pompeiian red vel
vet, and loops of gold braid are added in
many trimmings on mordore, dahlia, or
dark green felts. Jet and gold beads
are often combined in the trimming of
black lace or of black velvet bonnets;
the bonnets that have soft black velvet
crown with thread lace on the brim will
be put on early in September, and may
be worn until spring. A group of hum
ngbirds, with brilliant plumage that
glitters like jewels, is fayorite trim
ming for black bonuets for the demi-
season. Aigrettes and pomponsihave not
entirely lost favor, but must be of the
most delicate marabout, and arranged
with other feathers, wings, or bird,
in order to make them stylish. Indeed,
'mOtley is the only wear in these trim,
mings. and it will be an easy matter
for clever milliner to utilize in one
group any bits of plumage left over
from previous seasons. The head and
neck of bird that has lost its wings
and tail feathers may be surrounded
by some tips of ostrich plumes that are
worn near the stem, and some straight
quilts or cocks feathers may be curled
over at the top and massed against a
pompon or marabout aigrette in ways
that are economical as well as pretty,
for the new groups of feathers are very
eXtravagant, costing from five to TWEEN
ty dollars for a single trimming for a
bonnet.-Harper' Bdgar.

DisinRectants.

DlSlnfectantS are at present, owing to
the close neighborhood of cholera, the
subject of much discussion; the proverb
Dial differences of doctors rendering it
difficult for the public to Judge which
OF the various chemical agents of puri-
fication recommended for use are the
most serviceable. The same doubts as
to the comparative efficacy of antiseptic
panaceas appear to have existed in the
latter part of the eighteenth century,
when various experiments in the way OF
dsinfection were tried by the medical
authorities. A list of substances al.
legged to be useful for the desired pur-
pose was at that period drawn up by a
DR.. MacBride, who, after speaking OF
acids as the long prescribed antiseptic
agents, added the following substances
to his list: Alkalies and salts; gum
resins, such as myrrh, assafptida,
aloes, and terra iaponica; decoctions of
Virginia snake-root, pepper, ginger,
saffron, sage, mint, contrayer
valerian, rhubarb, angelica, SIENNA,
common NORWOOD; and to some ex-
tent mustard, celery, carrots, turnips,
garlic, onions, cabbage, colewort,
horseradish, and molasses. Here we
have at least variety, and perhaps some
of DR.. MacBride's suggestions may be
found worth trial. Lime, he says, pre-
vents, but does not remove putrefac-
ton while astringent mineral acids
and ardent spirits mot only absorb the
matter from the putrescent substance,
but likewise crisp up its fibers and
thereby render it so hard and durable
that no change of combination will take
place for many years" With regard
to disinfectants, as in other matters,
our ancestors were not wholly devoid
of wisdom. -!St. James gazette.

There is truth in the following
quaint passage: "God looks not at
the oratOry OF our payer how eloquent
they are; nor at their geometry, how
long they are; nor at their arithmetic,
how many they are; nor at their logic;
how methodical they are; but He looks at
their sincerity, how spiritual they are"
At the same time it may be added, re-

be necessary if we would worship in
the beauty of holiness. -hadianapoyGs
