Four Items About Stylish Garments. Re-
Gently introduced.
Long English ulsters are exhibited
made of finely-checked cheviot, fancy
bourrette, summer tweed, mohair or
camel's-hair goods, which are designed
to wholly cover a stylish and expensive
travelling costume, protecting it from
dust and travel marks, and enabling the
wearer to appear at table in a fresh
looking and dressy costume. These
listers are cut to fit the form just easily,
and in the back are a number of two
inch plaits which are stitched down
three inches below the waist line, where
they fall loosely, giving the necessary
~fullness yer the tournure. The fronts
are single-breasted, and button all the
way down. Handsome silk cord passe-
menteries trim the fronts of many of
the most expensive kinds, and nearly all
have an adjustable hood added, silk
lined and pressed to lie very fiat.
Some very chic and beautiful toilets
for watering-place wear arc shown,
made of the new stripes in canvas and
velvet, with artistically fitted and draped
French polonaise above made of finest
canvas goods as delicate as yelling,
these fabrics figured with dots in silk
embroidery matching the leading color
in the striped material. Some Of these
novel patterns have the dots or
other figures on a large scale, but they
are not as attractive to refined tastes as
the smaller designs, though often chosen
bv those who like them for fete and
house dresses.
A handsome gown worn recently at a
wedding out of town was made of am
Der and crimson changeable silk, the
trimmings of dark laurel green velvet.
Panels of the velvet showed between
the box pleatings on the skirt. The
ample waistcoat of velvet reached some
inches below the hips, ..and was trimmed
with a very rich passementerie of ruby
and amber beads, with small oval
buttons to match. The bodice above, of
the shot silk. was simply piped on the
edges with velvet, and the sleeves were
slashed just below the elbow over a
puff of the velvet. Roses with dark green
foliage, formed the floral adornings.
The new and fanciful summer wraps
for dressy wear are very graceful, very
small and essentially Partisan. The
shapes are almost indescribable. Some
of the visites have velvet g%renadine
backs and wide broche net sleeves, and
there are lace wraps with velvet fronts
strapped across and held with gold
buckles set with Rhine-stoncs. Short
rounding dolman shapes are loose in
the back, with trim jacket-fronts belted
from the sides only, or held at the waist
with ribbon ties. Three different fab
RIGS are often used upon these diminu-
| tive wraps, which are in most cases OF
the richest desc pption.-M Y. Evening

A BOY.
How He Laid Up q Snug Sum Toward G
ing to College.

How He Laid Up q Snug Sum Toward Go
ing to College.
A poor lad living near Philadelphia
was invited a couple of years ago by a
wealthy friend in town to dine with
him. Among the dishes new to him On
the table, he notice that n he particu-
larly relished was sat down on the menu
as 'tFilet de beuf aux campignons." A
sharp scrutiny showed him that the
'champignons" were only mushrooms,
such as he had gathered on the sheep
walks. These. however, as his friend
explained to him, were of fine quality,
and had been cultivated and canned in
France. They sold at retail, his friend
explained to him, readily at sixty cents
a can. Strolling through the market
the next day, the boy say n or two
quart baskets of native mush-
oom marked at that price.
'.Is there much demand for these
thingsP" he asked. "We do not think
much of them in the country"
'.They are considered a rare deli
cacy," said the man. ''but only epicures
can afford to buy them"
The lad passed on with a new thought
in his brain. Why could he not grow
m~ushroomsP He was poor, to be sure,
and had little time to spare from his
regular work and had no land. Here
was a crop which he had been told
could be raised in a cellar, one for
which there was already a demand
which could easily be increased, and no
supply.
He went home, and during the next
few weeks read every book he could
find on mushrooms, laid out beds in a
back cellar, manufactured his spawn
with a few old mushrooms and the ma
nure heap, and last fall filed the mar
ket with his boxes of tiny silver buttons,
blushing delicate pink. They were of
precisely the same quality as the French
canned champignons, only they were
dewy, fresh, and sold at twenty cents.
Epicures eagerly filled their baskets,
and others who never had tasted them
in the prevailing high prices of all
kinds of food. tried the new cheap veg
etables and came again and again. The
crop fairly took the market, and the
boy has already laid up a snug sum to-
ward going to college.-Boston Budget.

Comely Diana had q voice like .
calliope; yet, although it was not ener-
waited by laryngitis, she was not a virago.
She wore a stomacher set with jewels,
that gave an interesting idea of her
fathers finances. There was no squalor
in their vicinage. She sought to in
veigle her charity coadjutor into a
hymeneal association without tedious
delay. She sent him her miniature, a
jessamine flower and an Invita- on to
dinner of anchovies. He was a coadju-
LIANT in the church. He had a cadaver-
like complexion, and in a joost he had
been houghed. Taking some almonds
as a bridal gift, he mounted a drome-
Diary with the epizootic, and fastened
without dispersion, along Pail Mall.
The guests were sitting on q divan,

A MYSTERY.

-
o tell me where do the young men go
When the summer day. are bright2
Tfs the saddest and darkest mystery
How they vanQuish out OF sight
As O as the nowery seasons open,
When hearts snoulde either be won or broken.
They are not found at the mountains grand,
Where the airy miss sweep down,
And cool airs blow, the sunsets CLEAN,
Aud the days are without their crown
No meaning have the sweet wild roses;
Dull apathy DER all reposes-
They do not HE to the pleasant springs,
And the Paris to,lettes shine,
And the diamonds glitter all in vain,
And the weary maidens pine;
For all the glorious fetes, the dances,
We're only In their giriish fancies.
They do not gladden. the sad sea wave,
For ever at Mount Desert
In crowd do the school-marms congregate,
And with ~pedagogues alert,
In dear old haunts Of sly Irritation
Tux of vain things like education.
They do not stay in the busy town
in the midst of the broiliDg heat;
Like q barren waste Is the promenade
That misses their ringing feet;
They do not fee TO the drowsy,
Where even the robins song sounds prosy.
All, can no one tell where they do abide,
And relieve Q maiden's grief2
Do they fade like ghosts in misty air,
Or blow away like a leaf2
Or into q charmed slumber falling,
Hear not . voice OF duty calling7

Construction of Flint Walls.

Flint walls are formed between two
planks or frames, the lime being poured
among the fints in a liquid state In
some cases the largest flints are selected,
two courses laid with them-one inside,
the other outside of the wall-and the
center filled up with smaller flints and
liquid mortar; the lime should be mixed
with sharp sand and clean gravel. The
corners are formed of brick, and longi-
tudinal bands of brick are also intro
duced from two feet to two feet six
inches apart; these bands are formed of
two courses of brick, one header and the
other stretcher. Where bricks can not

In these days of cheap carpets one
often wonders what to do with the old
clothes we used to make rag carpets out
of. have found q way to make use of
'men's old cashmere clothes" Make
a large crochet needle out of green
hickory, then cut the cloth in narrow
stripes and sew it together as for car

Commence with the dark, knit a chain
a quarter of a yard long, throw the
cloth ovcr the needle and knit around
the chain with a plain stitch widening
at each corner until the rug is three
quarters of a yard long. Then join the
light cloth, and knit two rows, then two
of dark, two Of light, and finish with
two of the dark. II you will follow these
directions you have a very serviceable
door mat that will moi easily kick up
