They get growth young, are very healthy

They are, moreover, excellant winter layers
They are probably nearer the much looked

The only drawback, apparently, is that they
are not remarkably prolific layers. They

Rain. Thunder and Ii.btninp

An advanced thinker has a very fine
theory as to the cause of the above phe-
pomona. Electricity explains all. Briefly
Hydrogen is the hghtest of all known gases.
1t must therefore constitute the top layer OF
our atmosphere Hydrogen is being con-
tinually generated by decomposition, aud is
constantly passing up through the atmos-
phere. The union of hydrogen and oxygen
produces an explosion, of which the result
is water. Electrical disturbance, produced
by the friction of the earth's revolution OF
otherwise, causes explosion between the
layers of hydrogen and oxygen, and their
union and descent hail, rain, or snow.
There you have it.

Contapions Consn,nntior

No person should be permitted to sleep in
a room wherein consumptive patient is, or
has recently been. No consumptive person
should ever kiss or fondle healthy one,
especially child; and sound members of a
family should not without adopting more
and better precautions for the preservation
of their own health, attend consumptive pa
tients. Above all, no person suspected of
having pulmonary consumption should be
allowed to visit family after family, infect
ing napkins, bedding and rooms, caressing
tender children, and in other ways sowing
germs that may cause suffering and death.

WOOL LACE DRESSES.

Wool laces are very largely imported for
autumn use, and are shown in founces a yard
deep to cover the entire dress skirt as far as
it is visible. These laces are now made of
the durable mohair, which is firmer than the
the patterns are small and new, or else they
reproduce those of antique guipure lace; a
small scalloped design finishes one edge,
which is to serve as the foot of the skirt
These hounces are sold in four-ya I'd lengths
for the entire skirt, and are to be made up
over silk, wool or satin in a plain round
skirt. Such fiounces cost from 81 to SIS
a yard, and are also sold in shorter
lengths of one yard, or else yard and a half,
to cover merely the front and part of the
sides of the skirt in combination with fine
woods for the back and drapery. such as
Thibet cloth, Henrietta cloth or the diago-
nal serges. Still other wool laces are i'm
ported in set pieces for the front of the
skirt, representing many rows of insertion,
while others come in borders to be set in as
insertion around panels of the dress
goods. Pointed plastrons quite wide at the
top accompany these skirt trimmings.
Every color is represented in mohair laces,
and many show two contrasting colors.
TIE wool laces for trimming plain wool cor
sages are about four inches wide, and vii
cost fifty to seventy-five cents a yard.
There are also piece laces, of which mantles
are to be made over satin and combined
with velvet both small mantles and large
wraps viii be worn of this lace, trimmed
with fur, passementerie and frills of the seal

novel fabric invented to please the pre-
vailing taste for lace goods is a warm wool
cloth, with its surface covered all over with
netting in web-like lace patterns. Guipure
designs of intricate patterns show the per-
lection of weaving when thrown in light
threads of one or two colors on cloth back
of some bright contrasting color that shows
through the netting, such as black ON Grim
son, blue ON poppy red, gray on blue, or
trown on blue. Then there are stripes of
this lace work alternating with stripes of
wool to form part of the dress in combina-
ton with the smaller-fgured lace cloth.

REDFERN COSTUME WITH VEST FRONT.
This is suit somewhat more elaborate in
design, but the effect is still that of elegant
simplicity. 1t is made of cloth or wooden
goods of any kind. 1t may be either OF two
kinds of cloth, plain and striped, or the
same appearance eau be produced by broad
trimming velvet. The effect of the wide
bands, passing around the lower skirt at
the back and sides, and diagonally down
the left side, the stripes meeting also in
long points upon the vest front, is alto
gether stylish. The very high collars are still
in vogue. The costumes in the illustrations
are of the kind called tailor gowns. Among
the new goods shown for the fall, combina-
ton suitings appear again. There are cos
TUNES of plain goods and stripes, figures and
polka dots. There are also queer crazy
quilt designs called mosaics.

Jerome McDougall is years old. He lives
at Hoboken, n. j. He is pretty boy, with
a refined face, handsome head, and clear
cut features. He has long, straight nose
and bright, keen blue eye. He is very
plucky little fellow, as brave as a lion. He
Is good boy at school, and can read and
write. Jerome is fond of athletic sports,
can run fast. and jump and play leap frog
with the best Young as he is, too, he can
swim. How many boys years old can do
that!
Up to this summer Jerome has been just a
good, bright, active little boy. who learned
his lessons well and had good deal of fun
But this summer he did something which
will distinguish him all his life When his
school was out he went for the vacation to a
place called Bowery Bay, on the coast
of Long Island. If you look ON the map
you can see it.
1t was at Hoboken that Jerome learned
to swim. 1t is much easier for little boys to
do this than for grown people. Big mems
joints are stiff, and their bones and muscles
are heavy. So boys and girls, too, be sure
to learn to swim when you are little.

vELvETS AND PLUSI

Plain velvets are so largely imported that
of themselves they would constitute ssvel-
vet season." but to these are added striped
and figured velvets, and the beaded and EN-
broidered velvets that are to form the com.
binations with plain velvet or with uncut
velvet costumes. A plomb or lead -colored
costume, with the front beaded with lead
beads, will be q stylish choice for autumn
and winter, but the still larger fmportations
of brown velvets both for dresses and bon.
nets point to these warmer browns as q
more certain choice for a winter toilet.
The use of carved wood beads in brown
shades ON brown velvet is novelty for the
front breadth, the plastron, collar and cuff.
of brown velvet dresses. There are also
and the velvet bonnets to accompany such
toilets have wooden beads forming the coro-
net or edging the brim, while many tinsel
threads are employed in embr oidering the

the preference to tinsel threads of MANY

called tiger plushes, and others merely

close patterns instead of all the way across

FASHlONLETS.

The gold jewelry worn by ladies nowadays
owes its popularity to the fact of its being
an art production.
Queen Victoria is addressed by her house
hold and members of the aristocracy as
simply ''ma'am."
Chamois leather gloves are exceedingly
popular. They are useful in warding off
tan, and durable, as a little ammonia water
will cleanse them effectively. They must
be washed and dried upon the hands, or
they will shrink.
A very pretty wall ornament may be
made by taking three fans, with pictures
and bright colors upon them, spreading
them out and lacking them upon the wall
with their centers together. They will then
form a circle. Where the centers come to-
gether a bow of ribbon or other device may
be fastened to conceal the ends.

watched over the remains of. John McCul-
Tough during the night, and this morning at
O'Clock the doors of St Georges hotel, Civ
ing entrance TO the spacious room in which
the body laid, were thrown open and the
public admitted. Amongst the throng were
many faces familiar to the patrons of the
theater, but there were enough men in other
walks of life TO demonstrate that John Nc
Cullough counted as many friends out of his
profession as he did in it. The small stage
was hidden almost by the floral offerings
which were fianked with ferns and palms.
The coffin rested upon 2 catafalque
Immediately in front of the stage. Several
floral pieces rested upon the easket lid, the
most affecting OF which was simple bunch
of white flowers and smilax, left by little
girl whom no one knew. This was the in
scription on the plate of the casket lid :
'JOhn H. Mccullough. Died November 5,
1885, in his fifty-third year." ON the out
side of the hall on Thirteenth street such
crowd was collected that enven the steady
stream of people which circulated through
the hall did not seem to diminish it. 1t is
estimated that nearly 5000 people looked
upon the features OF the dead actor, and that
fully 10000 failed to gain admission. The
family of the dead actor occupied bench
at the head of the hall nearest the coffin. II
was after IL o'clock when the solemn SER
vices began. Rev. DIR. Robert Hunter
read selections from the Holy Scrip
lures. The portions selected were two
chapters from the goth psalm and the 18th
chapter of /. Corinthiaz. Then the hymn.
Nearer, Ny God, to Thee" was sung by
Miss Bertha Ricci. When the last strains Of
the sweet music died away, Rev. DIR. John :.
Macintosh made touching prayer. When
this was over, Mr.. W. II. Morton sang SOLO,
