Fashion Notes.

Hoop earrings arc again seen.
White cashmere is fashionable.
Rough straw hats continue in fashion.
Lace fans arc among the seasons
j.! craze.
Wraps are, for the most part, tight
fitting.
Soft vests of crinklcd Grape are stylish
with silk costumes.
White embroidered dresses made with
yoke waists arc in high favor.
The straw-lacc bonncts for summer
show the hair and its arrangement.
New buttons arc like rounds cut from
a rough walking stick, bark and all.
Tweeds and cheviots find favor with
women who incline to the English style
of dress.
Zephyr cloths and 5atistes have shot
grounds with tiny embroidered dsigns in
ne of the colors.
Imported sunshadcs are seen of en-
bossed leather, with a leather fringe
around the top.
Shot silks are made up with velvet or
brocade stripes upon a ground of shot silk
to correspond with the plain.
Silver jcwclry continues to be much
worn on the street and with mourning
dresses. 1t will also be popular With
travellers.
White, pink and blue crepe is used
extensively for summer underwear, and is
trimmed with Valenciennes lace and very
narrow ribbons.
1t is the correct thing to wear common
sense shoes for walking, though narrow
soles and high French heels are retained
for house wear.
The modern extreme fashion in furn-
lshing is to have the corners of a room
cut off by curtains, screens, low touches,
q table or the like.
White costumes of flannel, nuns veil
ing, wool crepe and French bunting are
being made up for general use at the
mountain, seaside and other summer re-
sorts.
Old-fashioned wells with shell-scallop
edges are among the newest seen. The
edge just m to the upper lip. In
gauze wells large spots are taking the
place of dots.
Velvet berthas, collars and cuffs are
worn with both street and house toilets
of wool or wash goods. Violet over white
black over gray and dark blue over scar.
let are very popular.
Golden hair has gone out of fashion.
The dye rubs off during warm weather.
A few ladies are trying to revive the fan
cy for drab hair, but raven tresses are at
present the most beautiful.
Loosely woven wooden fabrics, with
threads of many tints, are made up with
material with stripes of one of the col.
ors. A handsome way of trimming these
costumes is with appllques of gimp or
with silk cord.
The little sailor hats 8 o popular last
season are worn again. They are too
jaunty and becoming to be given up by
the young ladies. The trimming is ar
ranged directly in front this season in
stead of at the side.
A pretty idea is to cover the entire hat
and face with butterfly gauzc of some
delicate tint, pale blue, shell pink or
apple green. The ends are tied under
the chin in a large bow. Four yards of
gauze are required for the proper effect.

Tho Sheep Gad.Ely.

The sheep gad-fy appears during the
summer months. 1t is not unlike the
small horse fly in appearance, the color
being light ash, dotted and lined with
black. After mating, the female seeks to
deposit her young about the nose of the
Jheep. The animals show their worry
from these insects by shaking their droop-
ing heads and stamping their feet, and
7ften, in fact, by flight. The bots are
said to pass up the nose by means of hooks
and spines, causing a n increased flow of
mucous, on which they feed. The mag.
gots when full grown are about.an inch
in length. Youatt and Clark deny that
special harm is wrough by these bots,
but this denial does not correspond with
the observations of leading sheep men,
who, Prof. Cook declares, are correct in
the opinion that the bots do serious in
jury to the animal, and when very nu-
nerous, especially if they pass to the
brain, may, and frequently do, cause
death. When suffering from this cause
The sheep lose their appetite, seem in
clined to butt, and these symptoms are
followed by stupor and great weakness.
The mouth and nasal membranes be-
come infiamed- and there is an unusual
discharge from the nose. To render the
mimals exempt from the attack, sheep
men have practised, with good effect,
Earring their noses. The operation is
implified by boring two inch holes into
logs, into which salt is placed and the
sdges then smeared with tar. In reach
ing for the salt the sheep receives the ap.

Tho Now Generation in Virginia.

A great deal Of nonsense has been written
about these first families" They are usually
represented as thriftless, vain and scornful to
ell outside the magic circle of their society.
They lack, it is true, much of the goahcad-
itivencss of the northern man, but it must be
remembered that most of those yet living
were brought up under conditions that
paralyzcs energy. With large estates and
hundreds of slaves they had no motive for
exeItion, and now that the war has swept
away all their wealth they must change their
very natures before they can become the
pushing business men who build up cornmuni-
ties. Tho new generation is growing up quite
different, and it is moro than likely that when
they come to the fore the Virginia farmer
will no longer let his acres lie useless or half
cultivated. The fact is that the landholdcrs
il Stafford county are yet in dazed state
over the result Of the war. They can hardly
realize the change, or if they have they think
it is too late in life to start out afresh.-Vir-

CHEAP CIGARS AND CIGARETTES.
Are They Made from Discarded Cigar
EnGs?-A Dealer Talks.

EnGS?-A Dcaler 1ulkS.
Tho gathering of cigar stubs gives employ
ricnt to 4 large number of Italian women and
children. As a reporter wende1 his way
homcward early one morning recently, he
saw an Italian lad with bag strapped upon
his shoulders walking in the CUTTERS Of the
streets in the vicinity of the city hall. The
boy was collecting burned cigar ends. At
dawn the public thoroughfares are thronscd
with Industrious little laborcrS, who before
the sun rises clean the streets Of oil discarded
cigar stubs. Until an inquiry was made at
local cigar store the reporter was at loss to
know what became of the cigar stubs gath
ercd The dealer in tobacco said:
You would be surprised to know tho
amount of money Italians make by gathering
cigar stubs l do not think | put the figures
li-h when I state that no less than $4,000
cigars arc smoked in Brooklyn daily. The
number consumed may be more or less,
but nevertheless the fact remains that
ninc out of ten men smoke. During the day
larger part of the smoking is done out of
doors, and the stubs of tho cigars, when
wholly OF partly consumed, are thrown into
the gutter. III the vicinity of the city hall,
where large crowds of nlen gather ut all times
during the day, the number Of cigar stubs
found is scarcely credible.
The cigar stubs arc utilized in many ways.
After being gathered the butts, by which
llamo cigar ends are sometimes know,;;: are
sorted and graded, and the dirk and light
shades of tobacco placed N separate heaps.
The tobacco in -tr1e stubs is then pulled out
and Thoroughly washed. The washing pro
ccss is done to eradicate all ashes and burned
tobacco. After the tobacco has been dried
aud graded again it is ready for sale. Cigar
stubs are sometimes made up into cheap
quality Of tivc-ccnt cigars, Or oftener sold to
cigarette manufacturers, who mix the stubs
with other tobacco. ."-Brooklyn Eagle
