Emma. nnh Dress rrimmincs

Fine glass beads, usually black, are firmly
woven in stripes in wool goods between braid,
velvet or p~omponette stripes. The beads are
very small and are not set close together, yet
their sparkle brightsns up the dull surface
most effectively. There are also cord stripes
woven in that look like rows Of paSSementerie,
and others are like bourette cords with rough
threads knotted ut intervals More than all
else, however, arc the velvet stripes, which
come in various widths, but are handsomeSt
when an inch and q half or two inches wide.
These may be Of the color Of the
wool stripes with which they alternate, or
they may be made up Of narrow stripes of va
rious colors forming broad stripes FriSe
velvet stripes are again seen, also tapestry
stripes, and there are some brocaded velvet
stripes arranged as side bands. Cashmere
coIors, as rich as those seen in India shawls,
are woven in stripes alternating with velvet
or plush stripes of chaudron copper nd
! shades, or OF rosewood, mahogany, navy blue
or the reddish heliotrope tints that are now
80 fashionable in Paris. Sometimes plush, Of
very long pile, is cut like tassels and arranged

She Was Left Like the GaIatea.


Johnny's mother was the wife of a fisher
man at Marblehead not many years ago, but
iSnOw, alas. Lis widow. She was not one of
the women of Marblehead" who tarred and
feathcred and carried III a cart the old hard
hearted sea captain, Floyd, but she came of
the same race, and Johnny often suffered dire
bodily punishment at her hands when he had
unfortunately aroused her anger. One day,
to prevent q threatened and doubtless de-
served ChaStisement, he took to his heels.
His mother Immediately gave chase; but us
she was large and fat, size was left somewhat
behind at the start. Johnny held his course
down the narrow street, however, and the
heavy wine i'll their real proved so efficient
an aid to his pursuer that Johnny's sprior
feet and superior agility were hardly apt to
serve him to escape. The strong press Of
wind against his mothers spreading and
voluminous garments was carrying her down
the street at such a rapid rate that to an un-
moved observer it appeared very much aS if
the little fellow was destined to suffer to ap-
peaSe his parents wrath, which, of course,
was greatly increased by tho excitement and
exercise of the chase. One of Johnny's
friends, who was standing on the corner
coolly and calmly-because he himself was
not in any danger-ObServed the chase, and
quickly calculated the chances. He immedi-
ately perceived Johnny's disadvantage, and
putting his hands to his mouth trumpet-wise
Try her on the wind, Johnny-try her ON
the wind" lie shouted, and together the two
young friends doubled the corner, and soon
left the old lady far in the rear, breathleSs
and impotent with rage.-Harper's Monthly.

Spurious, isn't it, that we should oil meet

1t was curious, undoubtedly. The three
hungry guests who were doing full justice TO
the good cheer of the Black Lion were a Lon
doner on his summer holiday, a Scotchman
from the mouth of the Clyde and OH Ameri-
can tourist from New England taking a hasty
run to Europe and back. They had encoun-
tered one another in front Of the snug little
wayside inn, at q point where several roads
met, and had agreed to dine together in honor
of the coincidence.
The dinner lasted q good while, for all three
had walked far that morning. But nothing
can last forever, except q law suit OF a serial

our heroes showed signs Of having had

voice; and the EngliShman, thrusting his
hand into his pocket, produced, with n on

Yankee, "for my names the oldest i'll the

Furman's Compost,

The Southern Cultivator gives the follow
ing formula for a famous fertilizer in the cot
ton states:
The materials Of Furman's compost are
%barnyard manure, cotton seed, acid phosphate
and kainit. Interpretations are thirty bushels
each Of tho first two, 100 pounds OF phosphate
and 200 pounds Of kain;t. These may either
DO intimately mixed at first, or put in alter
nate layers Of cotton seed, phosphate and
kainit, and manure, md so on. The whole
to be well moiStcned and the mixing, in the
latter case, effected by cutting down the mass
clear through from top 10 bottom. You could
add TO q heap from time to time, using al
ways the same proportions, but it is usual to
mako up all of a given heap at one time. If
the heap Is made i'll pens, as it should be, with
perpendicular sides and at least four feet
high. and the compost covered on top with a
layer of rich earth six inches thick, there is
no necessity for n roof; rain, unless very ex-
c~eSSiye, viii not more than keep the mass as
moist Us it SHOULD be. The compost should
be put up at least three weeks before it is to
be applied; it is usually done six to eight
weeks in advance.

Planting Walnut and Wild Cherry Trees

Professor j. L. Budd tells us, in The
Iowa Register, how to start the seeds of
these shy growers. 1t is safer to plant in
carly spring. With tho shuckS on, spread
walnuts or butternutS on the ground i'll thin
layers at gathering tins, and cover with six
or eight inches of forest leaves. II whore the
leaves are liable to blow Off, fasten them by
spacing raSs or sticks over them. Plant
where wanted as soon rs ground is lit to work
in spring. Wash the pulp Crom pits of black
cherry when gathered and dry on boards in
the shade for two or three days, with frequent
stirring. Then mix with four times the bulk
Of sand and pack in shallow covered box or
boxes. Bury the boxes just below the sur.
face on dry ground, and if the surface is Gov
cred with snow before severe freezing Of tho
soil rake away the snow until the frost has
extended deep enough to freeze all solid.

the spider had crawled again to the key
hole, when the wonder occurred that
caused even the hands of the clock to drop
down from its face and made it forget to
kill time as it saw for q moment.
There was a noise heard beneath the hall
the opening OF q door, long closed, that
creaked and Jared as it opened. A man
came through the shadow, up the closed
stairway; he was a strong man, but he
came slowly and YEARLY.

to leave! How lightly he passed down the
stairway; how slowly he come back-and
now he passes through the hall, he pauses
before the same window through which he
used to look. Hush! l read In his eyes
that he has seen and knows at last, too
well, what lies beyond"
As she said this the man turned his eyes
longingly toward the window, but what
he saw there was blurred with his tears.
.Oh! l hope" whispered the spider
a~nxiously to her friend, Il hope that he
has found the key at last; that will make
such a pretty ending to my story!'
Hush! he is going to speak" said the
keyhole. And she listened b~reathlessly;
there was not even q breeze stirring through
her.
And the man, turning his earnest eyes
towards the light, cried out:

the wish of the thinking n Ii it may
yet be possible let me become the smallest
and poorest of Thy children, that | may

And as he spoke the last rays of the set
tine sun poured into the room and Hooded
it with light even where there had been
shadow; and the mans features were nlu-
minated, transiigured. And on his face
there shone a mighty peace! And his
eyes, once sad, were radiant.
SO the secret OF the keyhole was ut last

More About NIiIlinerv

Velvet and plush bonnets and hats are to
be the rule for all fine wear. Brims are, as a
rule, plainly faced with pieces cut to fit OK
actly, and but very few shirred brims are
seen. There are turbans made entirely of
feathers; also hats and bonnetS made in part
or altogether Of feather trimming. Bands of
this trimming are seen on large hats, and
brimS are bound with it. Pushes with small
polka dot spots are among the new materials
for making and trimming bonnets and hats,
although fancy materials will be more used
for trimming than for the body fabrics.
New hats made Of boucle wooden goods laid
smoothly over tho frame are light ami very
stylish, and need but little trimming. Other
new hats havs crowns OF felt or velvet, and
AstraEhan Trina and there ore bindings and
Hacinas of Persian lambskin. HATS that look
like corduroy ono in gray and brown and
are made up ready for trimming.
Bead bonnetS are preferably i'll jet, al
.hOugh u few are shown IL iriSe and copper
,olsr. They are trimmed with tullo and vel
7et flowers or leaves, also with velvet bows,
OOPS and pointed aigrettes of velvet ribbon.
4 charming bonnet in this style is trimmed
with Gigrcttes Of picot-edged velvet ribbon
in black and straw color. Evening bonnets
made of beads are In pale blue, pink, gold
and crystal. Ostrich tips with pearl bead
drops are used for trimming with p~icot-edged
watcrcd ribbon.
Straw hats will be worn until the very
coolest weather. Brown, navy blue, deep
olive and black are the favorite colors,
Straw hats for late autumn are faced with
velvet or plush, and the same material en-
tiers largely into the trimming. Loose
punches of dark flowers are used on hats that
turn up at the side, and many punches Of
fruit in lark gloomy" colorS are used.
Peaches, piUns, bla@iberries, punches of cur
rants, boughS full Of dark cherries, and even
tiny peppers and an occasional carrot are
seen.
Ribbons are used in profusion for millinery

If the reader will take the trouble to

he will find the Treasurer's name ut the

written on il. The duty OF giving the

highly responsible one, including many
oncrous and grave duties. Its incumbent
is recompensed by the by no means extra
VACANT salary Of six thousand dollars a
yeat for the performance of duties requlr-
ing an ability gained by long experience
and natural adaptation.
Mr.. Jordan has both. The greater part
| of the fifty-three years of his life has been
spent in banks or other financial centres.
/ HE beCan at the foot of the ladder in New
York City, rising in his first place, namely,
the Hanover Bank, to be general book
keeper of that institution. His next en-
gagement was at q bank in Fishkill. The
I Third National Bank, New York, was
started in 1864, with Mr.. Jordan as cash
Ter. In1SsO Mr.. Jordan became Treasurer
! of the New York, Ontario and Western
| Railroad, which position he resigned IN
1884. After that time he worked hard on
a scheme, as yet unsuccessful, looking to
the establishment of a Clearing House,
with operations covering the whole cOun-
try. He was busy with this scheme when
the President gave him the appointment
he now holds with such credit.
Mr.. Jordan has exhibited great ability
in finance. His ambition is to present the
affairs ofthe T~relsurer's Office to the public
that the average citizen will apprehend
them clearly, and without difficulty.
