While oft a threatning thorn from blushing

And cen tho sun each night conceals his radi-

Tho Dress Suit Holds It's Own.

| There must, think, be some good reason
why the dress suit thus easily holds its own
against these various assaults by word and
deed The reason take to be that it pos
sesses certain qualities which meet the re-
quirements of society, and which therefore
commend it TO society and make it, upon the
whole, very satisfactory costume. 1t is, in
the first place, distinctively unlike morning
dress. If man wears, as many men do, a
light suit during business hours he finds the
plain black of his evening suit sufficiently
marked change Of color; if he prefers, as
many do, especially lawyers and doctors, to
dress habtually in black, he finds the shape
Of his evening coat and the low waistcoat
displaying the broad expanse of shirt front a
sufficiently marked change of form, showing
how much can be done in the way Of change
without tho aid of color The dress suit is
not uniform in the technical sense, it is in
the nature Of uniform, In that it is the
same for all and that its use belongs to
special occasions Of more or less ceremony.
Its quality Of invariablen1s gives it tho
important advantage Of being inexpensive.
Undoubtedly the eye tires less quickly Of
plain black than Of gay colois, and if we were
to go back to the style Of dress Of the last
century a man of fashion would. want many
evening suits, just as a woman Of fashion
wants many evening gowns, merely for the
sake Of variety. The result would be to in
crease considerably, and to most men I'M
pleasantly, the cost Of living. Being what it
is, the dress suit is very economical cos
tune. think there can he no question that
it Is also convenient and comfortable. New

Dwarfs and elves were little people who

lays. The kobolds were the domestic fairies
If Germany, similar to the kelpeis of Scotland
and the misses Of Norway. They were all
KILLED in music and dancing, and were fond
Of frolicking by moonlight. Necks and
,tromkarls inhabited the rivers and lakes Of
northern Europe, and were similar to the
nermen and mermaids Of less remote super

Late Studies on the Oyster.

Late studies on the oyster, by Professor
Moebius, show that out Of 40 shells ex-
amined, only very few had any foreign
organism on the right valve, while he rest
had sponges, hydroids, etc, on the left valve.
Forty three of these bore on their left valve
the body to which the sFawn fixed itself.
The bottom of an oyster bed formed by old
oyster shells is not smooth, the young ones
being fixed obliquely. The right valve may
sometimes be protected so that embryos OF
other organisms, e. G., sponges, cirripedes,
etc, may attach themselves and grow
