Nor with rude tramp sic boats the hollow

Nor miuces nicely, nor " tn glrllsh bound
Trips the light sod; woman, not n fairy,
Upon an earthly base flrn poised her airy
Consistenco rests. No Haunting, broad display
Of rustling nounccs marks her gentle way.
But, like the breezes of the light-wingod May
Softly she comes, aud fragrant all rs they.
oh, she is lovelyl NIL the Summer dwclls
IN her bright eyes, and every feature tells
A treasured sweetness in the soul Within
That beats like music through tho lucid skin;
And whom she speaks soft sllvory accents flow
Full.throntcd from mellow depth below,
Not clipt In shreds, nor with n tinklinp din,
a shallow plash from hollow heart within.
Not bold Is she to place herself before
The first, nor sinks demure behind the door;
But takes her place Just whore she ought TO he
Nor makes you feel when there that u is she
With native grace and iino untutorod micn.
She Preets the poor or stands before n Queen,
Sweeps with light floating case tho festal floor,
Or bends DER sckbeds with tho suffering

She hath no posturcs; knows no attitudes;
hor upschooled gesture gently shows her
moods;
She. casts no proud nor patronzing eye
All things to all she Is: for why2--in all
Her skill ia to be true and natural,
True to herself, and TO the high ideal
That Gods grace gave her to inform tho real
True to her kind, and to your every feeling

Lace.

More and more lace is used for founcing,
draping and ruffling. 1t comes by the piece,
in wide designs embroidered all the way
across for skirt fronts or by the yard for
deep or narrow tlouncing Since the memory
of man lace has not been so cheap, so pretty
and SO much Used. The cheap kinds are Of
course the woven fabrics, not the hand
made, but they are quite pretty and fine
enough for any woman alive. The exquisite
hand made laces are, Of course, as expensive
as ever. But the variety of the cheap lace
is surprising. 1t come, in silk, linen, cotton
and wool, and in all the colorS known-red,
bottle green, cream, blue, ETC. A red surah
silk dress, with red lace sleeves, is charm
ing summer evening seaside costume. Silver
gray and brown, with lace sleeves Of the
same color, are also very stylish. The lace
sleeved dresses are often cut out square or
heart shaped at the neck. Lace apron fronts
are very common with even satsen dresses.
All lace dresses over some colored fabric are
as popular as ever.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1885-07-25

Flounces OF lace are tn, only founces on
elaborate grenadine dresses, and when
these are used they are in such numbers that
they are more like combination fabric than
a trimming. Wide lace founces are ar
ranged in lengthwise curvas, only slightly
gathered across from the hips on the right
down to the foot ON the left side; still others
form leng thwise panels, and the old fashion
remains Of gathering them in straight rows
across the front and side breadths below the
drapery. Very simple grenadines, of small
armure patterns, or Of sowing silk gren-
adine, have tn, skirt in. fine lengthwise
pleats after having been tucked across, and
this pleating may be edged with lace.
French lace initiating Chantilly designs is
most used on black grenadines. The foun-
dation OF all grenadine dresses is now silk,
since there are good silks for this purpose to
be had for sixty or seventy-tive cents a
yard: this makes a skirt that will wear as
long as the grenadine while silk sergs for
the basque lining costs from eighty cents to
81 yard.

Leek Embroidery.

In the town of Leek, in Staffordshire,
England. a philosophical woman estab-
lished an embroidery society. 1t is an asso-
citation of ladies, art lovers, who do EN-
broidery at their homes. and meet to re-
ceive instruction at stated times from the
director, Mrs. Marble. They work under
her orders, she making the combination
of color, material, and thread, etc. 1t
is useful as we'll as pleasant society,
since the women do the work largely for
sale. They find no difficulty in this Their
work is SO artistic that it finds ready
market.
There is In India species of wild silk
worm. The webs from their cocoons are
made into peculiar thread for the EN-
broidery needle. 1t is callei "tusser" silk,
when the product Of these wild cocoons i
made into dress fabrics The Leek embroid-
cry made with this thread is becoming well
known as distinctive kind. A writer says
"Tusser embroidery silk is pure-that is,
not spun--but it has curious broken lustre
in place of the soft brilliancy Of cultivated
silks. 1t only takes certain dyes but ii
takes these with peculiar softness, and has a
beauty of its own which is distinctive from
any other yarn. 1t can be used with other
silks with very good effect, the Italian OF
Chinese silk giving the high lights

Bonnets, while still very varied, are con-
slderably more moderate in style. The
pointel bonnets with extravagantly high
trimmings excited so much laughter and
ridicule that reaction has set in, and for
the coming Grani Prix races it is announced
there will be return to small capotes
trimmed with flowers and fruits OF the
month In which the bonnets are Worn, Tasp-
berries and cherries for July, followed later
ny apricots and plums The fruits this year
are manufactured of India rubber, which
makes them extremely light and at the
same time very durable. As an imitation of
nature these fruits are simply perfect and
the ornamental fruit pieces which decorate
the table at ceremonious dinners, and remain
intact to the end, can as well be ordered at
the artificial florists as at the truiterer's.
The above is Clipping" from the Paris
letter in Harper's Bazaar. Now, really, is
not the idea of fruits upon the head, among
the hair, rather nastys And what kind Of
taste is that which will allow imitation"
fruits to be brought upon the table at din
ner, ito remain intact to the end" Don't
let us have those fashions in America.

The Red Spot on Jupiter.

The great red spot on Jupiter is disappear
ing in curious way. An oval white spot
now covers all its central portion, leaving
only narrow ring of the red substance Wis
IDLE around its edge. The white spot is quite
regular in form, and very nearly concentric
with the red spot, which it appears to be
gradually covering up. Its whiteness is not
very intense, but about the same as that OF
the general surface of the planet near it, so
that as soon as it covers the red ring still re-
naming all traces of the remarkable phe-
nomenon which has been watched with so
much interest for the last eight years will
be entirely lost.

THE OLD CANNON.

The aged gun here given is shown merely
for purposes OF illustration 1t is to be seen
at Fort Hamilton, one of the defenses Of New
York. As one steams up the Narrows, be-
tween Staten Island and Long Island, he
sees on each side Of him a military fort, with
sharp lines and mounds Of grass-grown
earthworks. That on the Long Island side
is Fort Hamilton; upon Staten Island, Fort
Lafayette The gun here shown is the
largest one in Fort Hamilton. 1t looks very
dangerous and wicked indeed, with its long
iron body and its smooth, clean wheelworks
and carriage Oh, yes, killingly so. And it
is wicked, the wickedest gun in America
That is to say. it wouldn't hurt anybody but
the person who fired it off. 1t never was
discharged but once. 1t never will
be again, unless all the navies OF
Europe are threatening New York at once,
and this is the last cannon left this side of
the Atlantic. The old fellow was used to
fire the first shot of salute Powder was
rammed into his insides, and he was touched

ment, groaned, and then let loose.

New York Sun Cholera Mixture.

There is famous cholera cure known to
some of the old people of 81 Years ago The
New York Sun obtained the recipe from
some one who remembered ii, and published
1t. 1t is well-testel medicine, and has
brought relief thousand times. 1t Is re-
published almost every year in the Journal
in which it first appeared. 1t is too late for
cholera to ravage our shores with its worst
terrors this year But cut this formula out,
anyhow, and keep it.:
Take equal parts Of tincture Of cayenne,
tincture Of opium, tincture Of rhubarb, es-
sence of peppermint, and spirits Of .camphor
Mix well. Dose fifteen to thirty drops in a
winegass of water, according to age and
violence of the attack. Repeat every fifteen
or twenty minutes until relief is obtained.

EucalYptus Gum.

1t is stated that the recently patented pro-
cess for the manufacture Of gum of the
eucalyptus globulss, which has the effect Of
thoroughly removing the scales which form
on steam engine boilers and preventing rust
and pittng, has created largely increased
demand for it both in this country and in
Europe. The effect of this preparation in
thus preventing the pitting and corrosion of
boilers will. it is expected, extend the period
of their usefulness 100 or $50 per cent, and
at the same time insure very considerable
saving in fuel as scale is a non-con iuctor OF
heat. The distillation Of essential oil from
the leaves Of this tree is another branch of
industry

For Travelling.

Double folds of canvas are basted in the
neck and sleeves Of travelling dresses. These
may he white, cIeam-tinted, or else dark
shade of red or blue as the dress or the
wearer's complexion SUI ;gests Economists
now buy the cotton canvas by the yard for
40 or so cents and make these folds at small
expense. One fold an inch deep is enough
though many prefer second narrower fold
outside of this. The canvas must be cut
exactly bias, and its rough edges should be
bound with thin silk ribbon. Colo,e1 per-
Gale collars, in high standing shape, and
cuffs, are for Travellers and there are also
bands of linen, with a color on the edge,
that may be bought by the yard and cut of
in collars as they are needed ON the journey
