RESISTANT STOCK.
There is vast difference in the many
varieties of apples as regards their resist
ance to the woody aphis. The late John
Llewelling, of Napa, claims to have found
| by experience that seedlings of Golden
| Russet and Rawle's Jenet are exempt. We
have no personal experience in the matter,
but for several years, at the experimental
grounds of the University, we have had
growing two apple trees OF an unknown
| variety, propagated and donated by John
Rock, of San Jose. Although purposely
and repeatedly infected with the wooliy
aphis, these insects never remained either
on the top or on the roots. The latter are
tough and wiry, and perhaps for this rea-
son resist the aphis, much as the why
grape roots resist the phylloxera. The
only manner in which this resistant va
riety can now be propagated is by grating.
| Although healthy, these trees have been OF
rather slow growth. Doubtless there are
among the many varieties of apples Others
equally resistant, and it would be well to
pay close attention TO this point.

Nelvets, while in themselves often curl

in with white costumes. White wool is in
no other way so stylishly relieved as by
tinishlngs of velvet, and if lace be added,
the picture becomes complete. Colored
velvet plays large part in such adorn-
ments, and one may imagine the unique
and really tasteful effect of a white wool

some loopings or panel of colored velvet.

by lace. Black velvet is fashionable for
like purposes, but objected to by some, as
rather staring, though the cream shadings
of many white goods, and lace as well, 20
far in toning down this objection. An en-
ployment of mixed or fancy velvets gives
further variety, while the union of velvet
with cotton goods, whether white or colored
opens the way to illimitable choice. As a
rival to velvet for unitings with white ma
terial, come surah and twilled silk, lace be-
ing frequently added. French nainsook is
fashionable. but embroidery is so much in
request that it almost supersedes plain
fabric. Well nigh universal is fiouncings

A CHAPTER ON DUDES AND THEIR
IMITATORS.
The Rage for Jet-Various Other
Trimmings-White Costumes,

[REcoRp- UN1oN Corresponaonce ]

NEW YORK, May 10. 1880.
To say that there is a rage for let, is but
family to express it. All former RACES
dwindle into insignifcance beside the pres
sent one, and really some word should be
invented TO picture a positive insanity on
the subject. The ultra fashionable looks
indeed quite ike a " subject SO beladen
as to move with difficulty, yet consciously
happy in proportion tc her burdens. Net
works OF jet afford complete waist cover
ings and over such cuirass repeated
strings of large jet beads may be sus-
pended about the neck, but independent
jet ornaments are very stylish, while jet
passementeries divide favor with small jet
pendants. Corded passementeries are
fashionable, either with or without JET, and
the passementerie drops are still very
much liked, either placed singly or as adj
dilons passementerie ornaments. Grena-
dimes appear with closely covering figures
composed of jet, and as an outcome are
grenadines where colored beads take the
place of jet. The entire surface is thus
illumed and these sparkling grenadines are
popular for short wraps or parts of dresses.
Many new silk and some few wool cos
tunes are trimmed by jet or colored bead
patterns sewn on the goods-perhaps the en-
tire front, side panels, etc. Large beads set
on the edge of skirt drapery, outlining a
basque, collar, cuffs, etc, are a quite new
idea, and, as being new, will doubtless be
much in vogue. Chenille is seen again, but
fiat and combined, with jet or beads
Wooden beads are still used but not in
profusion. Gallons are ornamented by
jet, colored glass or wooden beads, both
large and small. One might pronounce

BATHING NOTES,
What to Take Before and After a
Plunge or u Shower Bath.

What to Take Before and After n
Plunge or u Shower Bath.
Persons who "take cold" easily will
find the daily bath of cold water most
eifectual means of prevention.
Those who feel weak and depressed
after a bath will do well to take cup
of tea or coffee; rarely will the use Of
more powerful stimulants be indi-

The ancient theory that, after vio-
lent exercise, and while perspiring
freely, the body should be allowed TO
cool before immersion, is no longer ac-

intelligent athletes, after unusal effort
and while intensely heated, to disrobe
quickly and be Immediately drenched
with cold water, the same being poured

On leaving the water friction should
be employed with a coarse towel, until

after dressing rapidly, brisk walk for
