Low Neck Dresses.

The present fashion Of extremely
decollete evening dressesis not confined
to the young and fair, says the New
York Tribune. All ages accept this
unlovely fancy; which is all the more
extraordinary since fashion presents
an exquisite and tempting array Of
kerchiefs, delicate, laces and other
charming devices, hah-revealing, half
concealing the neck they cover. The
heart-shaped waist finished with a.
peak adds grace to- the figure, whether
slender or otherwise. 1t is cut very
low at the neck, but has an inner
trimming which, just relieves thu skin
OF too strong a contrast, made of
some soft, silky Grape or tulle, and as
the back is cut to correspond with the
front this is, similarly arranged and
the tiny cap, or. strap that answers for
the sleeve, corresponds also, in the
way of several little folds of the trans
parent fabric. that trims tina corsage.
The display of ball costames ard
those for other full-dress occasions is
like a mimic ALEXANDRIA. Tine full-tone
colors, the inter-lacing filagree of en-
broidery, with the profuse admixture
of pearls and beads, the fret wosk or.
namentation, arabesqua embroideries,
the shaded frescoes OF the Byzantine
period, the full Ionic volutess Runx
knots-all are included in the graceful
arrangement of the draperies and ths
| decoration in silk and beadNork.

THE SEA WINDS SONG.

Austin Dobson in Independent.
How it sings, sings, sings,
Blowing sharply from the sea-line,
With an edge OF salt that stings;
How it laughs aloud, and passes.
AS it cuts the close cliff grasses;
How it sings again and whistles.
How it shakes the stoutsea thistles-
How it sings
How it roars, roars roars,
In the iron under-caverns,
In the hollows OF the shores;
How it roars anew, and thunders,
AS the strong hull splits and sunders;
And the spent ship, tempest-driven,
On the reef lies rent and riyen-
How it roars!
How it walls, walls, walls,
In the tangle OF the wreckage,
In the Tapping OF the sails,
How it eobs away, subsiding,
Liz tired child after Gliding;
And across theground swell rolling,
You can hear the bell buoy tolling-
How it walls!

The Advantage of Middlemen.

The advantage OF low rates for far m
products is caught and retained by
the middlemen. Three illustrat tive in
stances OF the anomalous dispropor-
ton between buying and selling prices
are cited by the Northern Christian
Advocate:
"Wheat has declined fully SO per
cent. since 'S2, but at retail flour is
down only about II per cent. All
kinds Of meat cattle are cheaper than
they have been since the war; farmers
who have them to sell can find no
market for them. The very best beef
is offered in Syracuse, Utica, Oswego
and Auburn at 81, so to S. .5Oper cwt.
by farmers and butchers; yet people
who buy beef by the pound are paying
about the same prices that were asked
when all sorts of fatted cattle were
scarce and beef at wholesale sold
readily at $40 to $12. Cheese has
hardly paid for making this year;
thousands OF tens OF good cheese sold
below 5 cents a pound and much as
low as 3 1-2 cents; but the city buyer
or indeed the very farmer who made
it, will have to pay at the store from
10 to IA cents a pound for the sans
cheese, and he often gets short weight
besides"
AS a possible advantage to both
producer and consumer, our oontem
porary suggests the establishment by
farmers OF retail agencies in towns. L
cooperative 'storekeeping ever was
justified it certainly would be now III
the interest Of depressed agriculture. .

When q sick person is recovering

easy The nurse has large assort-

when the sufferer is burning with fever
Or agonizing with nausea that the ca

will tempt the appetite and yet not in

The patients strength must be main
tanned While at the same time every
thing that quickens the circulation or
excites the system, is as feul to the
flame that is consuming him. Nor is
this the only argument against ad-
ministering animal food. The prime
evil effect of the fever Is the drying up
OF the healthful juices Of the body.
The stomach, deprived OF the amount
OF gastric fluid requisite for proper di-

thing but the lightest and simplest
forms of nourishment. Neglect or ig-
