Babies have fashions as we'll as other

Now they wesr the softsst Of flannel
bandages, with the edges turned up,
and little shirts hand-knitted out of the

Our air really is more exciting to the ner-

seems to be stimulant in the oxygen Oh
this side Of the Atlantic. 1t promises To
developa new type of humanty--nervo
spirited, quick and keen. This stimulating
quality Is more marked in New York city
than anywhere else, though it characterizes
all America. For this reason Americans
should shun alcoholic drinks. What would
perhaps be a not unbearable stimulant in the
damp, soggy air of Europe would make "A
man a crazy drunkard in this country, and

Fish Culture.

A writer in an Iowa paper says he has
raised carp successfully in ponds, and that
any farmer can do the same. The fish pond
with care can be made source both of food
for mans own family and also one If
profit to him. The writer says:
There is no good reason why all or nearly
all Of the farmers in our state may not raise
their own fish To be sure, in the beginning
they may make some mistakes in construct
ing ponds caring for fish, etc, but with a
little patience and information of those that
have had these difficulties to contend with
for we must all learn, if not by our own eX-
perience then by others they may he Oh
waited or overcome.
1t has bean said that he who can make
two blades of grass grow where there was
but one is beuefactor of the human race;
equally SO he who may encourage and foster
an industry that will utilize the opportunity
that nearly every farmer may have for con-
structing Il fish pond, and thus add an
additional meat supply for himself and

Ribbon bows are always the most graceful,
the best liked, and yet the most easily OBJ
tanned trimming for almost every article OF
dress. No wonder then that ribbons, which,
for long time have remained compare
lively little noticed, are again appearing IN
great variety. Ribbon velvet has with SATIN
and Ottoman ribbons al equal share OF gen
eral favor, and besides these we see fancy
ribbons OF ever descrip ion; figured, dotted,
checked, Powered; in fact, many thing,
years ago laid asi le as questionable, can
again venture into daylight. Morning
dresses and elegant house toilets are chiefly
the articles which now seem TO be quite
strewn over with bows. Promenade dresses
are also trimmed in the same way, but with
profusion, and with color matching color,
and bows again serve As the principal trim.
ming for spring hats. For these manifold
purposes we notice rich choice OF patterns;
every materal-velvet, silk, gauze; yes, even
canvas-is represented, and the arrangement
of the color, although bright and good, Is
free from gaudineSS. Canvas ribbons are
especially original One of these, about five
inches broad has narrow satin edge and
displays a printed coored Egyptian pat
tern. Another narrower ribbon is woven in
Turkish design in rich silk. In short, the
variety is so great that it would be vain for
us to attempt to describe each one at length.
In conclusion, we can only add that even tho
hair for concerts, theatres, etc, Is usually
ornamcnted with pretty colorel h1w.
