POINTS FOR LADIES.
Timely Hints on Matters Pertaining to
Dress and Etiquette.
Colored surahs are much worn.

Timely Hints on Matters Pertaining to
Dress and Etiquette.
Colored surahs are much worn.
All styles of bracelets are in favor.
Crinkled seersuekers appear in new
colors.
Stripes appear in many of the new
dress fabrics.
SPrigged mulls are in again, to the
delight of very young ladies.
Wells are now worn so as to fall just
above the mouth and under the nose.
Overskirts continue in favor, al
though trimmed skirts are fashionable.
A single sapphire, since this stone
has become popular, is sometimes en-
ployed in an engagement ring.
Etamine with embroidered stripes or
printed Grape are the newest materials
with which parasols are covered.
The setting of all fine gems is deli
cate and often invisible, the object be-
ing to present the gem pure and sim
pie.
Satin screens on rollers, to be made
large or small after the windOw-shade
method, are the newest for drawing
rooms.
The new bonnets are small and close,
with the trimmings massed high in
front, producing a somewhat pointed
effect.
The wide license given in all matters
pertaining to dress extends to jewelry,
and explains the absence of set styles.
Princess bonnets are exhibited made
simply of loops of ribbon of different
sorts laid on over the other, Just as a
cottage roof is matched.
Grape, which used to be confined to
black and used only for mourning,
comes in every shade for both summer
dresses and bonnet trimmings.
Four small stones, set so as to show
no gold, if the stones be of good color
and sufficient briliancy, produce, at a
short distance, the Elusive effect of a
solitaire.
If gilt frames when new are covered
with a coat of white varnish all specks
on them can then be wiped off with a
damp cloth or sponge without injury
to the frame.
Engagement rings should bear in
plain script the initials of the engaged
people and the date. The old form,
81. S. H. to M. G. K, is no longer
used, but in its place appears: From
j. S. II. to M. G. X" the date follow
ing.
Pearls, which are emblems of purity
and modesty, rank next to the diamond
in favor for engagement rings. A sim
Gle pearl of rare color and luster, SIM
ply set, is the correct style. The ruby
is another gem affected in the affairs of
love and is allowed nowadays to appear
in an engagement ring.
The hair ought to be occasionally
washed. and if there be much dandruff,
the yelk of an egg will be found eff
cient for removing it. Beat up the yelk
little, and then work it into the hair
little at time, to bring it into con-
tact with the scalp; then wash it out
thoroughly with water.-N. 7. World.

There can't nobody tell me nothin'
about a boss. l knows 'em from the
tips o. their noses to the last hairs in

when they want an expert on a boss
they send boy right up to my house.
Guess I've been called in fifty times as
an expert witness in lawsuits bout
boss trades. But I'll tell you what
makes me mad, and that is to meet one
o. these boOk-larned feIlers who think
they can tell all about a boss from
what they read. Only last week l met
one o. that kind, and the way / mixed

the right hind-leg at the same instant. -

me Prise Snake story.

For six months a young man named
Ferguson, residing at Great Falls, had
been in failing health despite the care OF
the physicians, none of whom could fathom
the cause of his decline. Among many
odd symptoms was that Of a peculiar
choking sensation, which was not under

the young mans mouth. The sick man
called his sister, and. when next the hiss
Ing head appeared, she seized it and with
a quick pull landed the venomous reptile
at her feet. Her action killed her brother.
The tail of the snake had grown into the
young mans body, and in tearing it away
a blood vessel was broken, and the young
man bled to death.

A Handy Continuance When in the Hands

Plenty of bee-keepers can be found
who know nothing of the use and great
advantage of the bellows smoker.
say bellows smoker in order to distin-
guish it from the mouth instrument
used by some bee men who are behind
the times. Men can brag about their
quiet strain of bees and all that, but
when you come right down to ordinary
earthly bees and business, give me a
smoker every time.
have handled bees without n smoker,
and bees have handled me while l had
one, but as 1 said before, when you are
in for business you want a smoker, and
if the bees are ''tarnal'' lively, you
want two of them with man to pump.
Do not, as a rule, be extravagant
with your smoke. You don't thrash a
horse every time he acts a little skit-
fish, but you remind him by gentle
tap that the ''long oats" is in hand
and you on deck. just so with smok-
ing your bees-give them few gentle
puffs as you remove the enamel cloth,
simply to let them know there's fire in
the old tin barrel and lots of muscle to

bees always fill themselves with honey
when smoked, [ believe erroneous, that
is when little smoke is used. They
naturally feel pugnacious when their
home is invaded, but the reminder"
soon cools them down, and they go
about their occupations without fur
Their thought for yOu-that is, as
rule. Sometimes they do considerable
thinking, but not as much as the bee
keeper with a bakers dozen of them
up his brooches. No smoke is needed
at this stage, as the air will be blue
enough. 1t is better not to smoke
into the entrance, thus disturbing the
bees coming in and going out, but use
it after you take the cover off your hive
and are removing the enamel cloth
from off the frames. Should the col
ony declare open warfare, you can,
with very rare exceptions, completely
subdue them with a three-inch smoker,
while, were you to attempt to handle
them without this necessary adjunct
to successful honey production, you
would be compelled to leave the field
to the adversary, acknowledge your
self whipped by few horse-tiies with
whitfield extremities, and have the
modification of feeling you are not
master of the situation, either as re-
CARDS the bees or what they ought to
bring in.
Setting the smoker on end, when
lighted, will keep the fire in, so every
thing will be ready at a moments no.

horizontally, or nearly so, by resting
it with the bellows down. The follow

Young ladies who wish To be in the
height of fashion must wear quite
plain jackets of velvet and plush only
ornamented with buttons, which are
now made smaller; but there are very
pretty jackets of cheaper tissues, such
as thin cloth or terry velvet, the col
ors preferred being dark-blue, black,
havannah and tan. The buttons are
of wood the color of the foundation,
engraved with a tiny blossom or
rosette of a darker or lighter shade.
Elegant short visites of black or col

worn for calling. One of the prettiest
shapes is without plaits at the back,

square yoke of velvet, open like large
pelerine sleeves. Such a wrap is
trimmed with fine jet braid interrupted
by ornaments of cut jet and jet fringe.
Tight-ftting jackets, closed with one

preference by those who can boast of
good figures, ornamented with lace,
detached beaded motifs and bows, and

AN ORPHANS LUCK.
FALLING Heir to a Fabulous Fortune BY
the ID cath of n Long-LOst Father.
LLonlsEIiIe Courier. JonrnaIl

louisville r-Journal.l
A romance in real life has been devel.
oped in Jacksonville. Twenty five years
ago Mr.. Henry Maggie and wife adopted
little girl in New Orleans. Her name was
Mary Huber and she lived with her par
ents, when the yellow fever broke out, and
all of the family died of the disease, ex-
cept the infant child. The family papers
and every thing valuable was stolen by
burglars and the little waif had no means
of establishing her identity. She knew
that she came from Germany, but did not
know from what city.
Her benefactors brought her to Jeffer-
sonville and reared her as their own
daughter. AS Mr.. Nagle is a gentleman
of considerable means the child was given
every educational advantage. AS she
grew up she soon evinced desire to know
something of her relations and wrote
letters to Germany for years, but none Of
these elected a reply. Still she was not
discouraged and kept bravely on in her
search. At1ast, few days ago, she re-
ceived a letter from Edward Huber,
prominent merchant of Bregenz, Austria,
saying that he was her brother, and had
heard of her whereabouts from one of the
letters she had written. The writer also
stated that her father did not die at New
Orleans, as was supposed, but recovered,
and, finding his daughter had disappeared
and the family had died, returned to the
old country and entered into business. He
soon amassed fortune. He died three
years ago and his last words were; "Be
sure to find my lost little girl"
Another brother is a wealthy man and
lives at Canstatt, Wurtemberg. Her father
left her a considerable property, which she
win return to Austria and take possession
of. She will not leave her adopted par
ents, whom she has learned to love, bu
will return and continue to make her home
In America.
