Something Fine i'm Hosiery

Among the interesting exhibits Of
French hosiery this season is new pat
ent foot, consisting of a sole of heavy
Balbriggan thread. or silk, according
to the fabric of the hose themselves, gus
seted so as perfectly TO fit the sole of the
foot, and shaped to the curve of the in-
step. These are an improvement upon
the common-sense unbleached soles,
which were apt to- show their white
color upon the sides above the arches of
low-cut slipper. The new patent COW
ers the under portion of the foot only.
Tile deep colored hose in garnet, marine
blue, olive, golden brown, and BLACK.
are very attractive this season, a spec
tally popular color being a bronze in
silk and brilliant Lisle. This color cor
responds exactly with the dainty bronze
sandals now so very fashionably worn,
and noted fashion writer, speaking OF
this style of hosiery, says: "This will
be one Of the extreme novelties in foot
dressing this season, and the fortunate
woman who gets an exactly-matching
outfit of slippers and hose may think
herself fortunate. AS they must be
precisely the same shade, and as both
hose and leather vary considerably in
tint, in matching them it will never do
to 60 by guess. In ephemeral novelties
are "changeant" or silk hose, showing
three distinct shades of color in differ
ent lights, Roman hose with brilliantly
striped tops, with black openwork feet
ard instep, Hindoo hose of a peculiar
shade of reddish brown, with tops Of
old gold or crevette, and lastly are fine
silk hose Of French make of silver grey
silk. This soft delicate color is distinct
lively Partisan, shade dear to French
hearts, and the fair women of the gay
capital use it in almost every article of
feminine wear, but are specially devoted
to it in hose.-N. Y. Erenins Post.

The mako advanced in broad line

lay a magnificent carp, breathing and

from the water. The master of ceremo-

from the mako set it on the mat and
turned it slowly around that all might
see the living picture. AS the mako re-
tired all leaued forward to watch the
noble carp as it lay Quivering on its bed
of moss and crosses, with background
OF greenery like a true japanese gar
den. The carp With its shining scales,
green and silver shadings and fine out
lines is a favorite study for Japanese
artists, and on screens, kakemOus and
fukusa they never tire of painting, in
laying and embroidering il, and like ev-
e-vlhing else in their art it has SYM
bolism that makes it doubly favorite.
This feature of serving the living fish
at feast is one of the rare old customs
of Japan that foreigners seldom expert
ence in this era of change, and we had
thrills of satisfaction at Witnessing the
grand scene at the same time with hui
name shivers at watching the slow
breathing Of the dying carp. In the
deftest way morsels and flakes of raw
fish were lifted from its back and passed
to the company, and with fear of Mr..
Bergh before me l lifted up the shreds
of clear pinkish-yellow flesh, dipped
them in soy and ate them. 1t was worse
than canni5alism in sense, and we
tried to think that the carp before us
had not been touched with knife, but
that bits from the back of another fish
had been cunningly concealed behind
it and passed TO us. The epicures mean
while made all the japanese noises eX-
pressive of appreciation as they fingered
on the delicious morsels. A sudden
turn or jar Of the tray, or, as was inhu-
manly insisted in discussing this fea-
ture of the feast afterwards, sprinkle
of salt, caused the carp to suddenly
writhe. double aud culver with agony

He Slew the Giant.

Last week there was a fatal fight be-
tween two farmers I'm Accomac county,
Va. The participants were Thomas
A. Duncan and Judson Hickman.
They both lived near Drummondtown.
Duncan was giant and the terror Of
the neighborhood. Hickman young
msn whose slender frame and wan face
were the outward evidences of the raw
ages of consumption. Duncan, who is
a married man, spoke unexpectedly oil
a young lady of the neighborhood, to
whom Hickman was engaged.
Hickman became her defender, and
words passed between the two men.
The ring was suggested as the most
satisfactory method of settling the
dispute. About forty men encircled
the two fighters. Hickman, although
overmatched in weight, showed great
determination. He was more agile than
his adversary and rained blows thick
aud fast all over Duncan's body and
face and sent him sprawling to the
ground. The mill lasted for half all
hour. -at,the end Of which time Duncan
was badly used up. Blood poured from
his nose and from gashes on his head.
He started to go to his home, about
mile away, and had half covered the
distance when he fell by the roadside.
There his lifeless body was found an
hour later. An examination showed
that the skull had been fractured. Hick-
man has been arrested.

There are several stories related by
the Court Chaplain respecting the &c
centricities of the Kings brother. the
Duke of Cambridge, who would give
vent quite loudly to the thoughts cur
rent in his mind during divine service.
When the clergyman said let US
pray" the Duke added audibly, with
all my heart" On another occasion,
as we have heard. he said: why the
devil shouldn't we?" Once, as the I'M
fortunate 'curate was reading the story
of Zaccheus, Behold the half of my
goods ! give to the poor the Duke as
tonished the congregation by saying
aloud: mo, no! L can't do that. that's
too much for any man-no objection to
q tenth. In answer to Thou shalt
not STEAL" the Duke remarked No, l
never did steal anything except some
apples when l was quite little boy"
Once the Duke objected TO the prayer
for rain on account of the wind. No
use praying for rain in northeast
wind" The prayer for rain sometimes
causes quarrels in country parishes.
We knew a case of farmer rushing to
the Squire to complain of his parsons
selfishness. Directly he gets up his
own publishing piece of hay" said the
irritated agridutturist, ..he begins to
pray for rainr' The Court Chaplain
informs us that the curate of Kew got
so nervous at the continual Interrupt
tons of his Royal Highness that he re-
signed his appointment Temple Bar.

kTGTST HTlHTER

We are often told that June and Ju-
ly butter is prime when August but
ter fails; then it grows better in
September, and SO on. Why is
June and July butter better than Au-
gust butter? Because the cows have
gone out in the fresh field and have
pure grass in abundance. The flow
Of milk is increased, and we readily
churn butter from it IN about one-half
tie time in July that is required in the
winter time or in other seasons. This
is because of the June grass. The last
OF July the feed begins to fail. June
grass has become too ripe, and some
thing else. not as good, must take its
place. The daiTyman should have a
crop of winter rye, and feed that with
his corn meal, and carry it through
the month Of August. Cows fail in
milk more in the month of August
than in any ether part OF the season.
In the month OF September the cattle
are allowed to sweep verthe meadows
and around the corners OF the fences
where the moving machine did not
reach. The remedy Is to feed corn
meal during the month of August. 1t
would cost trit!e over one cent per
pound for feed and extra trouble, but
the butter yield would be kept up. Ii
the rye gets too ripe before August
have a crop of clover for the cattle.
When the rye gets nicely started, cut
it with moving machine, and a sec
ond crop viii soon be ready.-Dr.
Crafts, at Neac York State DGirymeR's
association.

Poor CarIotta.

Four miles beyond Laeken is the
royal chateau of Bouchout, in which
lies King Leopold's poor sister, the un-
fortunate widow of Macmillan. Prin-
cess Carlotta's health is very distress
ing, and she is quite rs insane now as
when nineteen years ago she lost her
reason. There used to be royal state
and semblance of court around her.
When | first saw her she was still the
Empress of Mexico. She thanked us
for having called on her, and to the
Russian Baroness in our small party she
graciously gave her hand to be kissed,
because, she said, she liked blonde
beauties. Then she sweetlv asked us to
wait while she went to fetch the EN-
peror Then, leaving the room, the
poor mad Princess wandered through
the adjoining rooms crying out-we
could not help overhearing her-"Max,
dear" and Max, dearest" and MAX,
my good friend" and Max, my idol,
my Emperor; but alas! there was no
response to her hearts cry. Then she
came back to tell us that very likely his
Imperial Majesty was out, as she could
not find him. But as soon as he re-
turns am sure he will be glad to well
come you to Mexico" said she proudly.
She is not less mad now, but the i'm
perial illusion has been gotten rid of,
and she worries less than she used tc
do; but her health is bad, and she may
pass away at any time. Her features
usually wear naughty look, but il
when walking to the park she catches
sight of bird the expression softens,
her face assumes tender smile, anc
she watches its flight as if the sight O
it made her very happy.-BrttsseLs Cor

HONEY ON THE FARM.

WHY BEES SHOULD BE KEPT BY EVERY ECO
NoNTICAL AGRICULTURIsT.
Good, pure honey can be used for
all the purposes to which sugar or
syrup may be applied A few hives
of bees will gather that which other
wise would be wasted, and store it for
the family A hundred pounds of
honey has been secured from a strong
colony in a single season, and this
amount represents very important
item in the family account. 1t may
be claimed, however, that with honey
at twenty cents pound, and sugar at
ten cents, the use o. honey is not eco
nomical. Such is fact, but it should
only be a stronger inducementtO keep
bees, as each pound of honey will
purchase two pounds of sugar. There
are locations, however, at which honey
is not readily salable, and some
families do not care to go to The
trouble Of shipping small quantities,
while sugar may be dearer from the
same cause, and in such cases the pro
duction of honey should be an object.
Even if used in the place of sugar, with
its value greater, the sweetening prop
erty of honey is much greater. Bees
should be made serviceable by all who
are located at distance from market,
especially where the conditions are
favorable. The knowledge required
for successful Bookkeeping is easily
derived if one is determined to be-
come familiar with details of manage
ment, and it is surprising that the
majority Of farmers do not endeavor
to produce the saccharine matter at
home as well as the bread, meat and
vegetables. 1t is claimed that single
individual can attend to one hundred
colonies in the busy honey season,
while a dozen hives can be managed
without any loss OF valuable time
whatever. We do not intimate that
anybody can do the work, but any
careful person can do SO with care
