have been pad, the balance being paid
from day to day. Beginning on the Isl OF
Janusry, all receipts are first applied to op.

General Burke said the board had expressed
no such intention. The board will apply to

VeIvets and Plush.

Plain velvets are so largely imported
that of themselves they would consti-
tute a ''velyet season, - but to these are
added striped and figured yelyets, and
the beaded and embroidered velvets
that are to form the combinations with
plain velvet or with uncut velvet cos
tunes. A plon15 or lead-colored COS
tune, with the front beaded with lead
beads, will be a stylish choice for au-
tumn and winter, but the still larger
importations of brown yelyets both
for dresses and bonnets point to
these warmer browns as a 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 cuffs
of brown velvet dresses. There are
also many brown wool laces for such
dresses, and the velvet bonnets to ac-
company such tOilettes have wooden
beads forming the corOnet or edging
the brim. while many tinsel threads are
employed in embroidering the crown.
While brown remains a leading color,
gilt will not be entirely banished, yet
the best dealers import it sparingly,
giving the preference to tinsel threads
of many shades. The shaded plushes
are shown in brown and gray tints,
some of which are called tiger plushes,
and others merely ombre, but these
are shaded in stripes or in close
patterns instead of all the way across
from selvedge to selvedge as they form
erly were. Next the beaded velvet
fronts there are applique velvets that
have the effect of transparents when
put on wool or silk of contrasting color;
these come in side panels or in single
front breadth, or a foot border, and
with the necessary garniture for the
basque. -Harper' B03dr.

Travelling Aphorisms.

We kick worn-out Old purse which
we see in our pathway, until we hear
the clink of gold in it, and then we
clasp it to our bosoms.
Other peoples tears are little drops
of salt water; our own are rolling
floods of bitterness and woe.
A baby comes to us on angels wings,
but it hangs the wings up in dark
closet when its feet have once touched
the earth.
A beautiful polished shoe may hide a
painful corn.
The selfish mans stomach is larger
than his heart.
That man is weak, indeed, who can
cot lift his eyes to Heaven.
One hair IN the butter does not con-
denim the roll.
A woman doesn't have to dance very
long until her knees are too stiff to
bend in prayer
The devil paints his most alluring
pictures on a background of gold,
1t takes long time for a lie to fade.
There's more honesty in the wag of a
dogs tail than in the shake of mans
hand. Merchant Traveller.

Waiting and watching at close of day;
When the world is stilled in the solemn hour
As it yields for space to the nlghts brief

Have conquered the day and driven him far
TO the west where the sentinel evening star

Where Il thousand delicate OdOrs blend
From flower and bud that to Heaven ascend,
An Offering purer than human prayer.

Hiding away in its lonely nest
QuiYers and thrills with note of pan,
Like q lover mourning who loves in vain,
Or lost soul crying to Heaven for rest.

Her foot falls as light as the dew on the grass,
