4 Wcddin0 Costume.


Among the dresses of the wedding
guests at a recent reception was noticed
one made of garnet velvet. with long
plated train and colored Turkish pan
els; also turquoise blue MORE robe,
with inimitably graceful folds, and
otherwise only trimmed with five rows
OF gold braid on the skirt. The blouse
bodice Of this had shoulder-straps and
trimming of similar gold braid. The
brides travelling attire was very finely
checked mantle, with wadded and
quilted silk-lining, novel and becom-
ing collar passementerie fastenings.
The gray, fne-straw hat was trimmed
with gray ribbon and shaded gray
| feathers.
Fashion Notes.
WHITE chantilly is a pretty face
(cotton) for the adornment of eingham
and cambria gowns.
In order to insure perfect fit for
any time along with ease, no waist
must be worn under the jacket.
HIGH authorities again sanction, after
years OF allegiance, the pretty fashion
OF wearing natural flowers in the hair.
A COMBINATION of embroidery beads
and braiding is largely seer upon i'm
ported costumes OF silk, velvet, and
wool.
A noMELY novelty is the bodice with
side forms prolonged into straight pan
els reaching quite to the foot of the
skirt.
A FASHIONABLE skirt finishing is a
very wide hem turned up on the out
side, and piped with gold OF silver or
colored braid.
ARTIFICIAL flowers are allowable and
admirable substitutes for natural when
loosely laid into clusters with stems
and chemically treated with perfume.
A LUXURIOUS development of fashion
is the pertumed lining of tea-gowns.
Lilac, wild olive, white hyacinth, spe-
cioso, and English or wild violet are
especially used.
The days of jackets and long heavy
outer garments are numbered if, as
threatened, the Recamier gowns come
in for street wear, for the draperies and
sashes will quite spoil the set of the
jacket, and the heavy long coat crush
the soft folds.
The scalp-lock might appropriately
be applied to the latest fad in hair
dressing, as it consists in few nearly
upright locks quite on top of the head,
which are further accented by some
quilts, flower aigrette, or "oocky"
bow of ribbon.

COLD W5TEM IND CLOUDS.

looked out of the window and saw dull,
gray clouds from which the rain was
so steadily pouring, and which seemed
to shut in the world all around, that, in
reality, they extended over very
small part of the country; that some
where else, perhaps only twenty or
thirty or hundred miles away, the
sun was shining, and all was bright and
beautiful? This is really the case.
For storms, however long and dreary,
do not extend over many miles; and
though it is always raining at some
place in the world, yet always and at
the same time it is pleasant somewhere
else. Now let us see why this is.
Suppose that on warm summer aft
ernoon we were to bring pitcher of
clear, cool water, fresh from the we'll,
and to place it on the table in the din
ing-room. Now, no matter how care
fully we may have d,ied the pitcher
before bringing it in, we shall discover,
if we watch closely, that the outside
soon becomes wet and misty; and that
the mist grows heavier and then gath
ers into drops and perhaps even runs
down the pitcher to the table,
Now, where does this water come
from? Not through the sides Of, the
pitcher, that is impossible; but from
the air. We cannot see it, perhaps,
but still it is there, in the state of va
por. How came it there? Did you
ever notice, after rain, how in short
time the puddles became dry, and how
the moisture disappeared from the
grass and leaves, as soon as the sun
shone out and the wind blew? Or, did
you ever notice that if you left pan of
water out of doors the water each day
grew less and less, until all was gone
and the pan was dry?
| All the water that was in the pud-
dies, on the grass and leaves Except
that which soaked into the ground)
and in the pan, was taken up as vapor
in the air-has "evaporated," as we
say. The same thing happens when
water boils, only it then evaporates
more rapidly, and we can see the vapor
arising as steam. If you live near a
river, or in country where there are
brooks, perhaps you can see this evap-
Grafton actually taking place. Get up
early some morning before the sun
rises, and look out toward the river.
You may see long line Of mist or fog,
like a big, white cloud, hanging over
the water. Now, this mist is only the
water evaporating from the river and
is just now visible as fog because the
air is cool. After the sun las shone,
the air becomes warmed and the fog
disappears, but the evaporation goes
on, nevertheless. Indeed, it is going
on continually, and all over the earth ;
so that if the water we're not returned
to us as rain, snow, and dew, all the
oceans, lakes, and rivers would in time
dry up and disappear. All the tress,
grass, and plants would then wither,
and our beautiful land would become
as dry and parched as the great desert
Of Sahara. George 2. Merrill, in ST.
Nicholas.

bogus outrages He was not aware that men had
connived to damage their own property in order to
secure compensation from the Quarter Sessions.

secret societies. Some Of them were the result OF
family quarrels or of private malice. He had
connected the League with moonlighting because
prior to the existence of the League Kerry had been
peaceful
