THE COMING Bonnet.

The stylish high bows on the bon
net are full and bunchy, says the Paris
correspondent of the Bazaar, and are
shaped more like half rOsette than a
bow. OF ribbon two and n half inches
wide six loops are made, each being
deeper than the width of the ribbon,
and two pointed ends are added they
are then strapped closely and set erect
just back of the brim on top of the
bonnet, or slightly toward the left
side. A bit of stiff net is the fOunda-
ton for holding the loops birds
head and breast, with some wing and
tail feathers rest on such bows, or else
II shield-headed enamelled pin, or per
haps two quilts of feathers or of beads
in quill shape, are thrust through
them. Still other cOckade bows are
made of velvet OF plush cut from the
piece, and punched in careless looking
fashion. The new frise wool ribbons
that are satin on the wrong side are
used for top bows and strings on felt
bOnnets. While strings are on all the
French bOnnets, the becoming throat
bows are ordered by New York women
of fashion, who appreciate this neat
and convenient fastening for the bon
net. These are now made long and
narrow, with two loops of velvet (cut
from the piece long enough to extend
back to the wearer's ears, under which
each loop is fastened by fanciful pin
of steel and gilt in trident shape, or by
an enamelled shield shaped pin. There
are also square bows for the throat
made of velvet ribbon an inch and
half wide, tied in two loops and two
pointed ends.
Brown bOnnets have pale blue trim
mings, dark green have bright poppy
red, and when a color is preferred with
black, it is either marigold yellow or
else pale blue. The picot edges on
ribbons used in this way are very eff
fective, especially when of gold or sill
yer. The pale yellow is effectively in
trOduced in black velvet bOnnets by
covering the brim with soft folds of
yellow uncut velvet, or in placing fine
jet gallOon in lace-like patterns on this
ribbed yellow velvet, or else stringing
three of the new square jet beads in
clusters and sewing them on at inter
walls.
Plush which has been dropped for a
or two, has again become fash
and chiefly for the trimming
or accessories of costumes. Numerous
small capOtes are again worn without
strings, leaving the faces entirely un-
cucumber and are really head-d
ses rather than bOnnets, composed as

HELPS TO READ.

A wan school teacher entered book
store near Greenville, Miss, few
days ago, dragging after her small
fat boy, who held in one little paw a
mutilated First Reader, and with the
other wiped his weeping eyes and pug
nose.
"Have you any First Readers except
those ?" said the school teacher.
"Any except those ?" repeated the
book man. "Why, ma'am these are
the nice little books | sold you the
other day. Surely you have no OBJ
lection to them ?"
"They have pictures in them and
the boys can't learn anything from
them" said the fearful teacher.
"Not learn because of the pictures
impossible! Why ma'am the pictures
are put there for the purpose of help
ing the scholars to learn. Allow me
to give yOu lesson in the art" Then
turning to the boy-"Come, sit in this
chair, my man, and let me see if you
are not "a wise fellow take your book
and begin here on this page now look
good at the picture, then spell the
word"
The boy having cleared away suffi-
cient tears and dirt to enable him to
see, sat upon chair with his stamped
tOed boots two feet from the floor, and,
taking the book, began:
"D-O-g, dog"
"Ah," said the bookseller ''you see,
ma'am. Now, my man." he added, sit
ting down and closing his eyes com
plaeently; ''now, my man, proceed"
"R-a-t, mouse. Pig, hog" pro-

''No, no, not so fast" cried the book

which the bookseller said again:

THE WRONG CUSTOMER AGAIN
DISTURBED.

He was the greenest old man you
ever saw. He looked around the pas
senger coach in a way to prove that he
had never entered one before, and he
sat down so softly, and seemed to be so
afraid of damaging something, that all
the passengers smiled.
By and by young man went over
and sat down beside him. This young
man might have been directed by filial
affection, and he might not. (Which
way, uncle ?" he softly asked.

Nothing further was said for some
time, the old man looking out of the
window and the young man reading a
paper. The train made II few stops,
and the car was so warm that after IA
while the old man began to yawn and
nod. He fought it off for ten minutes,
but at last his head fell back, and his
gentle snOres mingled with the roar of
the wheels.
A slim, white hand, with tapering
fingers, rested on his leg; then it was
elevated to his breast. Its touch was
that of feather. Its movement was
that of IA serpent creeping forward to
strike. The fingers touched an old
fashioned wallet. The young man
continued to read, and the old man
slept on. Inch by inch the wallet was
lifted from its snug resting place, and
the hand was almost ready to remove
it entirely, when something happened.
With sudden movement of bis right
hand the old man pinned the interlOp-
er fast, and his voice was heard call
ing:
"YOu blamed fool But knOwed all
the time what you were after! Where's
the conductor !"
There was rush of passengers and
they found helpless, confused pick

ed old man.
"Consarn his pictur', but he took me

Even a professional pickpOcket

platform at the next station.

his nose almost touching the page:

The Palisades Well Made.

A gentleman who was apparently
rather deeply tinged with the prevalent
anglOmania was at a watering place
descanting upon the superiority of En-
glish over American scenery.
"There really is no finished scenery

serve. "Of course the palisades on the

they are of medley of gauze, tulle,
lace, flowers, jets, jewels and birds. 1t
must be confessed that many of them
are extremely eccentric, enough so to
invite a slight suspicion as to the mem
tai sOundness of the author of the COM
bination. And yet it cannot be denied
that coming from the hands of a skill
full modiste, and worn by pretty
Parisienne, the effect of the capote
may be most charming.

MORALITIES,

NO virtue can remain concealed or if
concealed, it is not virtues loss.
Dost thou love life? Then do not
squander time, for that is the stuff life
is made of.
Choose the company of your super
lofs whenever you can have it,
Dews of the night are diamonds at
morn, SO the tears we weep here NAV
be pearls in heaven.
Give me health and day, and | will
make the pomp of enperors ridiculous.
The one secret of tranquility is first
10 trust in the Lord and then to do
good.
Nothing gives an author so great
pleasure as to find his works quoted re-
spectfully by others.
When alone we have thoughts to
watch; in our families our temper. in
society our tongues.
What blockheads are those wise per-
sons who think it necessary that a child
should comprehend everything that it
reads.
1t is both wicked and unscriptural
for us to charge the failure of spiritual
harvest upon some sovereign purpose
or withholding of power from on high.
When one has learned to seek the
honor that cometh from God only. he
will take the Withholding of the honor
that comes from man very quietly
indeed
A heated church or prayer-room,
crowded with human beings, and
tightly closed, is not a fit place to wor-
ship God in. 1t is violation of his
law to stay in such place.
1t is Christian duty not only to at
tend public worship, to contribute to
the maintenance of such worship. but
to use a considerable portion of our
time and property in helping those
who are less fortunate.
Whatever the unrest and commotion.
to the anchored soul, there is assurance
in the faith which Garfield had when
in the midst of riot and murderous
hate he exclaimed: God reigns. and
the republic still lives"
Said an eminent man of experience.
"Since have known God in a saving
manner, painting, poetry and music
have had charms unknown to me be-
fore. l have received what suppose
is taste, for them; for religion has re-
fined my mind, and made it suscepti-
BILE of impressions from the sublime
and beautiful.
If you were Jove or Minerva of Phid-
las, who would take care not to dis
honor yourself your maker, and now
that Jove himself has made YOU, do
you not care how you appear? Shall
not our knowledge that God is our
maker, father and guardian free us
from grief or fear?
Said David Garrick to the bishop of
London: "Ifyou were conversing with
a party of friends in your study, sir, on
a subject that interested you, there
would be no whine or tone in YOUR
voice, you would talk in an animated
way. Now, sir, pulpit eloquence is an
imated conversation"

The WEALTH OF THE SEA.-In rep
resenting the wealth contained in the
sea, Professor Huxley has pointed out
that an acre of good fishing ground
will yield more food in week than an
acre of the best land will in a year.
He also has drawn a vivid picture of a
mountain of cod"-12O to 1870 feet in
height-which, for two months in the
year moves westward and southwark
past the Norwegian coast. Every
square mile of this colossal column con-
tains 120,00O,00O of fishes, which, even
on short rations, consumes no fewer
than 1000, 900 of herrings every week.
The whole catch of the Norwegian fish
cries never exceeds in a year more than
half a square mile of this ''cod noun
tain" and one weeks supply of the
herrings needed to keep that area of
cod from starving. The harvest of the
sea is truly inexhaustible.

A level-headed exchange from Yer
mont has this: Several individuals
have recently been torn nearly in
pieces by savage bulldogs Now a
man has no right to keep savage bull
dogs. He should be punished, along
with his dogs, as common nuisance.
He has no right to keep a cur that
barks all night, or a pup that snarls
and snaps at every passer by. The
man who does this has no regard for
the rights of the comfort of his neigh
bors, and they should have no regard
for him. He ought to be cowhided,
and if he perseveres in keeping dogs
he ought to be ridden out of town on
a rail and ducked for ten minutes at a
time in the most convenient cesspool.n

A Maine farmer had a wife who de-
clared she would never be weighed.
One day when she was in the wagon
he drove his team on to the hay scales
in Auburn and had the whole thing
weighed without his wife knowing
what was going on. Then he after
wards came back and had his team
weighed without his wife, and found it
just 225 pounds lighter. So he had his
way and she had her weigh. h.-Lo,ueN

AMMONIA CHEAPER THAN SOAP.

Ammonia is cheaper than soap and
cleans everything it touches. A few
drops in a kettle that is hard to clean
makes grease and sickness fade away,
and robs the work of all it's terrors
Let it stand ten minutes before at
tempting to scrape off, and every
corner will be clean. 1t cleans the sink
and penetrates into the drain-pipe
Spots, finger-marks on paint disappear
under its magical influence, and it is
equally effective on floor and oil cloth,
though it must be used with care on
the latter or it will injure the polish.
There is nothing to equal it in cleaning
the silverware, and it gives a higher
polish and keeps clean longer than
anything else. If the silver be only
slightly tarnished put two tablespoon
fuls of ammonia into a quart of hot
water, brush the tarnished articles
with it and dry with chamois. If
badly discolored, they may need a lit
tie whiting previous to the washing.
An old nail brush goes into the cracks
to polish and brighten. For fine mus
lin or delicate lace it is invaluable, as
it cleans without rubbing the finest
fabrics. Put few drops into your
sponge bath in hot weather, and you
will be astonished at the result, as it
imparts GOODNESS to the skin. Use it to
clean hair brushes, and to wash any
hair or feathers to be used for beds or
pillows. When employed in anything
that is not especially soiled, use the
waste water afterward for the house
plants that are taken down from their
usual position and immersed in the tub
of water. Ammonia is fertilizer, and
helps to keep healthy the plants it
nourishes. In every way, in fact, am
monia is the housekeeper's friend
