Every woman ought to be taught
that an artist will employ for bru.
nette brilliant yellows and pronounc.
ed reds. A jonquil.colored ribbon, a
scarlet camelia in the black tresses, a
poppy-colored bodice, toned by Chan
tilly lace. win give a dashing character
to the figure so decorated, and instead
OF diminishing effect will add to
it new force. But the delicate bru-
nette whose features time had begun
to jade, or a general brunette whose
skin is comparatively fair and whose
eyes are velvety and black must re-
frain from striking colors. In this
instance soft colors are demanded, es.
pecially pale blue, because of all
shades it is that which approaches
nearest white yet escapes the rawness
OF white.
II a bonds hair be red or golden
its indispensable Complementary color
is dark violet velvet for the bonnet,
let us say, with tuft of violets in
the hair and the dress of deep lilac.
Those make up perfect combination
and give the wearer a marvel
ously fine appearance. Green OF
medium intensity SUITS all shades oil
red hair. If the complexion OF the
blonde be fresh and delicate an orange
Turkey or ruby red will set off her
freshness and delicacy, both by SINH
larity and contrast. Women who
are placed, so to speak, in the hall
shades OF color may wear choice oil
brunette or blonde necessities with
the proviso (imperatlve) that the
tones be subdued in proportion to
warmth of complexion. For chestnut
hair pure yellow or deep red is ill-suit-
ed; but half-tints, such as pale yellow,
corn, deep yellow, turquoise blue
and hazy blue harmonic exquisite.
ly with the neutral character
of these natural colors Possessors
of ash-colored hair and corresponding
skin and blue eyes, half-warm tirts
are required to work against so much
delicate softness. Slashes ofpale. blue,
with faint suggestions OF neutral gray,
are also appropriate for the last nam
ed class OF women. Black velvet gives
them fairness without destroying or
neutralizing the distinction and deli,
cacy which are characteristic of ashy
compilations. If the ladies OF 'the
Household" who need advice on this
subject will do me the honor to give
these hints place in their scrapbooks
am sure they will find them often
quite as handy as house full O.
roomy closets.

No one knows how much injury has
been done by the reckless use of poi
sons as insecticides. 1t is effective, no
doubt, but so would be the burning
of a house which is infested with the
undesirable Cimex lectularius. There
are other ways of saving crops besides
the ready one of showering deadly
poisons over fruit trees, grapevines,
cabbage patches, potatoes, potato
fields, etc. 1t has even been proposed
to spray clover fields with paris green
to kill the cloverleaf beetle. So far as
the potato pest is concerned hand
picking has been found effective by the
largest growers. It is well to be safe,
and the use of hundreds of tons OF
deadly poisons upon various crops
must surely be grave danger.-N. Y.

An Athletic Beauty.

From the st. Stephens Gazette.
Mrs. Langtry owes much other ply
steal charms to her love of physical
exercise. The public have been told
by the ubiquitous photographers other
exploits OF late as trainer OF horses,
but it is not generally known, Ibelieve,
that the Lily is one of the best lady
pedestrians of the day. In England
il was thought that Mrs. Lang
try's chief object while touring through
America apart from her professional
duties. was posing to receive
the homage of her numerous admirers.
How far this was from the truth may
be gathered from a simple narration
of fact concerning her walking expe-
riences in Dayton, o., at which place
/ happened to be staying when the
much ,heralded beauty arrived there,
She reached the city on Sunday morn
ing i'm her special palace car, and in
stead of remaining in strict privacy,
as celebrated actresses are wont to
do when not performing, she took her
manager out for a walk. They visited
all the points of interest in the city,
until, as the manager declared, he was
completely worn out, while she was
as fresh as at the start. After stroll
ing about ten miles in this way he
suceumbed, while the famous beauty
laughingly set out alone on an
excursion into the country. She
first made her way to the
Soldiers Home, that is a distance
of four miles, up hill and down, walk
ed about the grounds there and re-
turned. Subsequently she proceeded
out into the country on q billy road,
without guide or direction, and finally
reached the village of Little York,
nine miles distant, on rough, rural
by-road. Then she walked back to
the city, arriving there in time to par
take of hearty supper. The next
morning she was up early and, after
rehearsal, she made tour of the city,
walking considerable distance. In
the evening she appeared in "Pygma-
lion and Galatea," and made most
favorable impression. The total dis
lance covered by the accomplished
lady during one days pedestrianism
was over thirty-six miles, and mostly
over country roads. Few Of her rival
beauties OF the English fashionable
world could perform a pedestrian feat
OF this description, it is to be feared.
How much better it would befor them
if they could

Horses Kept ON Grass.

The American Rural Home.
Farmers learned, a lcag time ago,
that horses keptsup through the sum.
mer on hay with little grain, are
worth a great deal more for service,
and especially to drive on the load,
than if running out to pasture; hence
the number who stable their work
horses increases from year TO year.
The following from the National Live
Stock Journal is to the purpose:
"Grass may be the natural
food OF the horse but he takes to
Grain with wonderful readiness, and
i if fed nothing but grass, the
whole system is relaxed, and but q
comparatively small amount OF work
can be endured. Grass is 80 washy,
and the stomach OF the horse is so
small that but small amount of nu-
triment is contained in the stomach
when full. The bowels are loose, the
stomach is soon enptied, and the
horse feels weak and faint, in very
short time, when at work. The sweat
rolls out almost in streams, and few
minutes exertion causes him to puff
and blow as if he had been running a
race. He may do well il he has
nothing to do but run in the pasture
and fight flies, but he is
not fit to work. He can stand mod
crate amount, but he does it with
great exertion and corresponding ex-
haustion. If a team is to be worked
regularly, it is better to keep them in
the stable and feed them hay and grain
regularly, with an occasional bite of
gross as a relish and regulator of
| the bowels. This may be nown and
given to them, or tn ey may be permit-
ted to run out q little while and gather
the grass. This mode of keeping q
team of horses win pay much better
in work than permitting them to run
to grass. II but a moderate amount
of work is required, the horses may be
permitted to run in the pasture at
/ night, but should be put in the stable
during the day, when not at work,
and given hay and grain regularly,
but with discretion. 1t does them no
good to fight flies all day in the pas
ture, but torments and worries them.
The stable may be darkened and yet
kept so well ventilated and airy, if
properly constructed, as to avoid the
annoyance of flies and still preserve a
comfortable tempers ture-even more
SO than that afforded by the shade OF
a tree. y

quietly replied that, ifhe were sold.
the one who bought him should know
as much about his failings as / did.
"Why, my friend, you can never get

will be swindled when you sell; for il
you tell what you know of this horse,

Conc.,rning Life INSURANCE.

Hubert o. Thompson. who lately
died in New York, left no life insur-
ance, and as he spent his income there
is nothing left for his pa-ents, who to
certain degree depended on him.
Life insurance would have been a very
moderate expense at his time of life,
and he might have carried a large
policy with comparative ease. One of
the most remarkable instances of life
insurance was that of Walter Scott,
who left two policies, one of 1000
tequal to S10,000l for his unmarried
daughter Anne, and also another
Tor f22 900 Tor his creditors. The
latter was applied to the payment
OF his debts, thus preserving Ao-
botsford to the family. Theiate Rev.
Noah Hunt Schenck lett q policy of
$50, 900, from which his family derives
very substantial benefit. Cough
left 100000 life insurance, and the
advantages OF the system are now
widely improved by professional men.
Sometimes q mans life in insured in
behalf OF institutions which depend
on his service A very remarkable
instance of this kind is found in Gree
ley and the Tribune association.
The latter, knowing that the death of
the editor-in-chief would be a serious
blow TO the establishment, insured his
life for their own benefit to the
amount of 100000. When the
death OF the unfortunate editor oc-
cured the Tribune was in financial
difficulties, from which the iife-insur-
ance policy afforded relief and also
enabled the association to begin the
construction OF the Tribune building.
