- Petroleum Picnics."

ga petroleum picnic" is a somewhat
novel idea, but at Baku, on the Caspian
sea, (the new "Oil City" of Southeastern
Russia such jaunts are of daily or rather
nightly occurrence at certain seasons of
the year. Among the naphtha springs of
the n~eighborhrod is one which spouts up
from the bottom of the sea, at a short
distance from the shore, where the shall
lowness of the landlocked bay in front
of the town permit the infammable mat
ter TO float u~ndisturbed upon the sur
face of the water for many yards round.
To visit this curious spot by moonlight,
in a small steam launch kept expressly
for the purpose, is now quite a fashion
able amusement with the Russian resi-
dents of Baku. On reaching the spot a
lighted match is thrown into the floating
oil, and instantly the whole surrounding
surface blazes up into a veritable lake OF
fire, though which the boat, cased in
iron as a protection against the flames, is
driven at full speed, casting off fiery
ripples in every direction, while the
faces of the crew, looking wan and
CHASTITY beneath the Internal glare, sug-
gest a train Of ghosts on their way across
the river of death. The whole spectacle
is very grand and unearthly, but unfor-
tunately it can only be enjoyed in per-
fectly calm weather, and the sudden
springing up of a breeze from the sea
often spoils it at the very last moment.

The JOYS of Camel. Riding.

and thought it would be my last. 1t

fastened by strings upon the back of a
great, numbering, humpbacked brute. |
no sooner attempted to take my place on
the saddle than the camel, which was
lying prone, into which position he had
been forced, began grunting like an old
village pump violently worked. At the
same time he turned his prehensile lips
aside, grinning like a bull dog, and
showed a grinning row of teeth, which
he sought to close upon me. l got
aboard without accident, and had not
long to wait for a rise. The first move

been warned to hold tight, but it was
only the clutch of desperation that saved
me. After several lunges and plunges,
the brute got fairly on his legs. The
reins consisted of a rope round his neck
for steering, and a string fastened to a
ring thrust in his nostrils, to pull
up his head. and stop him when going
too fast. My camel began to move fer

cramp in the stomach. Involuntary as
the movement was, an hour of it would,

of me as the worst sufferer on a channel

A heartless friend was IN front Of me

Instantly | became as helpless as a child,

camel's back. Not so my humorous
friend, who, to my great comfort, per-

NEWS AND NOTES FOR WOMEN.
Bonnet strings are quite short.

Bonnet strings are quite short.
A western lady is the widow of eleven
husbands.
A band Of beaver or otter makes q
coronet for a velvet or felt bonnet.
Gray and black ostrich feathers are
speckled with white, as if s%prinkled with
snow.
There are more women in Indianapolis
who are engaged in business than in any
other city in the West.
A new brocade, called 1.-the Eclipse"
is studded with velvet spots, half COW
ere by other spots of terry.
The colored Astrachan cloths are less
used than the plain black, which is
combined with all shades and tints.
A small bang at the back of the neck
is now worn by many ladies who dress
their hair on the top of their heads.
Jet and black ribbon are the favorite
trimming for the very little wraps worn
with wooden suits, no matter what may
be their color.
The capote has grown so much larger,
and the poke has decreased so much,
that the careless observer does not find it
easy to distinguish between the two spe-
cies.
Canaries are used to ornament dresses.
They are mounted on twisted wires, and
either perched on the shoulders or so
arranged as to seem to hold folds of lace
together.
What seems to be a new material is
produced by embroidering half the
squares in a checkered wooden stuff with
Angora wool, taking loug stitches and
making a raised effect.
People who have an overabundance Of
color should adopt gray. There is no
hue which so mercifully subdues a fiorid
complexion. BY the same reason pale
faces should studiously avoid the con
tiguity of any shade of pearl or gray,
since it is apt to give a CHASTITY tinge to
colorlcss complexion.
A round hat that is now one Of the
most popular shape with young ladies
has a high, somewhat sloping crown,
and a brim that is much wider in front
than at the back. A plain band of
trimming surrounds the crown, and
short plumes, wings, breast, or pompons
are massed either directly in front or a
little to the left of the front.
The hose for winter wear of spun silk
or fine merino are in solid, dark %colors,
and these limited in number. 1t has
been customary for several years to
manufacture hosiery and pretty much
everything else that could be worn in
''alln colors. The consequence was that
the fine dark shades were picked out
very quickly, and the high and light
colors left a drug upon the hands of the
dealer, who shipped them off or tried to
rid himself of them at a reduced price
to inexperienced buyers. This, however,
was not a profitable operation, and now
in the best stores, and styles the colors
are limited to those current in fine
dress goods and most likely to be called
for.

Ancient, Yet Good.

Squire Wilcox, of Hobart, Stamford
township, Delaware county, N. Y, owns

"Dot," now working on his farm, eat

"a lmal is in his thirty eighth year. He
will be thirty-cight on the 10th of June
next, and this year worked in the hay
team of a thirty-cow dairy--hauling in
all the hay, working at horse rake, &c.
The horse is strong and hearty to pace
and even playful at times. No money
can buy him of Mr.. Wilcox. Can an

of Wind,

Presence of mind is a very rare quality
indeed. How few of those we meet,
though apparently cool and self pos
sessed, know Just what to do in an
emergency. 1t is a good thing to have
an active mind, well stored with useful
knowledge, but sometimes it is better to
have a less expansive style of mind and
hove it calm and unruffled at a time
when it is needed.
A friend of mine once put a large red
poker chip in the church plate by mis-
take. Few people would have known
what to 40; but he just went to the pas
tor after the services were over and said
that he had the money with which to re,
deem that chip. He told the minister
that the chip was worth five dollars up
town, and he would cash it at that price.
The preacher took the five dollars, and
said he always knew that these little red
souvenirs came high, but he didn't know
they were so expensive as that.
Another friend of mine, who had no
presence Of mind whatever, went to a
picnic, and, by mistake, sat down on a
baby that was asleep ander a shawl in
the shade of an outrageous tree, break
ing its nose the child's nose, l mean.
He was a Candidate for the legislature,
and did not wish to offend the mother
or lose the vote of the father, so he tried
to turn the thing off as a joke by saying
he didn't nose it was there.
He was terribly showed under at the
polls, and he deserved it, too.-BW Nye.
