aacl. Lice a Condensed Sermon.

None are such accomplished dissemblers
as those who find assembling difficult.
The surest way to reveal your weakness
is to hide your motives.
A note pitched too high is equally silent
with one pitched too low.
The sublimity of the mountain is not in
the mountain, but in U.s.
Each man is walking coal mine, and it
is for him to decide whether it shall send
forth heat and light, or only SCOT and
smoke.
More strength is needed to abstain from
work when tired than to undertake ii when
rested
The safety of the spire is not in the
thinness of the top, but in the solidity Of
the bottom.
The true host entertains so that on leay-
ing the guest feels more pleased with him.
self than with his host.
He who is unwilling to submit to unde-
served blame should remember to refuse
undeserved praise.
Genius is like barrel on the top of a
hill; it will not indeed move unless it is
pushed but once pushed it goes of ITSELF
Talent is like load on the highway; it

This is the difference between a noble
thought and merely brilliant thought
the former, like friend, improves on ac-
quaintance; the latter looses its force on a
second meeting.
Weakness trusts in strength; strength
fears in its weakness.
He who is unconsciously selfish is not SO
dangerous as he who is consciously so; the
former betrays his selfshness, the latter
conceals it.-Iudn Pdssin in Century.

1t is probable that the cultivation of the
cocoanut for profit will always, in Florida,
be confined to the region on the Keys and
mainland south of the Caloosahatchie
river, though the palm will continue to be
grown for its great beauty, or chance
crop of nuts, in protected spots even as far
north as the latitude of Tampa and Cape
Canaveral. The cocoanuts produced in
Florida are trifle smaller than those of
the tropics, and are not considered so
valu able for seed, hence most of those used
for planting are procured from Central
America, more especially from the Bay
Islands (Utilla, Bonaoo and Ruatan) and
mainland of Honduras. The nuts that
have not sprouted on the voyage
are sometimes planted in nursery
beds and transplanted when year or
eighteen months old. Only small per
cent. fails to terminate, though sometimes
the sprouts are year or more in appear
ing. The distance apart at which they
are planted varies from fifteen to twenty
five feet; twenty feet is the usual distance.
The only cultivation given on the Keys is
the occasional cutting of the weeds and
underground in spring and fall There is
a popular saying that a bearing cocoa
palm will produce one nut for each day
throughout the year, but this is a little
over-drawn, the best trees producing abou,
two hundred nuts per year.-American Ag-

The greatest set of rattles ever cut from
a rattlesnake are now on exhibition in the
office of the Treasurer of Lycoming county
at WillIamsport, Pa. The string measures
eight and one-half inches, and contains
forty-fve rattles. The biggest string OF
rattles on record, previous to this, was
taken from the big snake killed near West.
port recently. That string measured four
inches in length and contained twenty zone
rattleS. The snake that bore it was the
biggest one ever killed in the State, being
seven feet long. The most curious fact
connected with the monster Williamspori
set of rattles is, that it was taken from q
snake less than three feet long, the rattle:
forming almost one-fourth OF the reptiles
length. If it is true that rattlesnake
grows a rattle every year after the first
year, the snake must have been forty-siz
years old. This freak among snakes wa.

Kssninx untar,nsntea WINE.

Grape juice is now pressed into bottles,
and then olive oil is poured in at TIE top
of each bottle. This effectually excludes
the air, and none can work down into
the wine to ferment it. At the same
time any air that was in the juice finds
its way up through the oil. The oil is
sopped up with cotton when the bottle
is uneorked. The cotton abso,bs it little
by little. All that is needed is little
patience. This art Of keeping infer
mented wine was practiced by the Egyp-
tians many years before Christ. But it
was lost. 1t has now been re-discovered,
and it is coming into general use.

In new cloaks, the yoke is pervading

short wraps, where in front it often merges
into vest, and since vests also have al
most omnipresent "fullness," it must be

graceful for stout people and adapted to
heavy material, while Newmarkets possess
a jauntiness and capacity for setting oil
trim form that goes far to keep them in
vogue. They are also presented with so
many differences that sameness is pre-
Guided. The like can be said Of Raglans,
where at times the sleeves nearly sweep
the ground. Diversity is furthermore
given by secondary material, chiefly vel
vet making really combination garments
of them, and thus in novel forms they do
not weary the vision. So many persons,
too, have invested in Newmarkets and
Raglans, that they cannot be given up,
and thus it can be said that they are emf
nently passable through passing. Short
wraps are made chiefly Of faille, armur
or velvet, and are longer than those of the

A Mrs. Mona Card has been causing a
great commotion in British society by a
series of articles she has been writing
for the London Telegraph, on the subject
of marriage. She would apply to that in
stitutiun set of reforms something analo-
gous to the leasehold system in land.
Free contract, not free marriage, is what
Mrs. Card contends for, declaring that the
former should specify the grounds on
which either party might have it anulled.
The fair correspondent of Sir Levy Lawson's
news-sheet scouts the notion that marriage
is voluntary contract, the essence of it
being seduously concealed from the woman.

Copotes considerably longer than hitherto,
and long turmodicum of wide-brimmed
hats with jaunty contour are presented for
young ladies' more occasional wear. Felt
and velvet re appear, the latter in hand
some millinery being adorned at times by
fine embroidery. Flowers, of course, give
way to plumage and birds are very much
in vogue. Small ones are placed as coro-
nets and larger ones are perched with
heads backwards as if flying away, and it
! may be noticed that trimmings in general
are placed as if coming from back to front.
Blackbirds are a special fancy. Gros
grain and velvet ribbon appear with plain
edges, having a cord or lines; satin
border may finish velvet ribbon, and as
a favorite feature may be mentioned the
monotone stripes of different weaves that
harmonic with dress goods. Shaded
stripes also comport with those apparent
elsewhere and spots of stiff figures also
bring about uniformity. Trimmings are
of moderate hight, nor is exaggeration any
where noticeable. Ostrich feathers and
tips are fashionable, and for broad brimmed
hats; soft feather boas wound about the
neck will replace the lace scarfs of the
summer. Toned effects, usually three
shades of the same color, light, medium
and dark are stylish.

IN PLAIN DRESS GOODS,

Cashmere, Henrietta cloth-either all
wool or with high silk finish, and termed
Henrietta-camePs hair, cheviot, or twills
are the principal importations. There is
fancy for solid colors, and therefore
novelty goods are in the minority. but
most OF the goods just mentioned have been
manufactured in diverse weavings as well,
set usually in stripes, where chuddah zig
Gags, diagonals, armure patterns, reps,
cords, etc, are placed in alternative and
innumerable gradations as to width. This
is marked idea of the time, and extends
not only to silks, but to ribbons. Where
harmony or contrast of color appears, the
soft gradations of shaded stripes bring
about much that is pretty dots, spots,
mathematical figures, palm leaves or
tapestry patterns also prevail. Brocades
show corresponding thoughts, while in
plain silken fabrics the lead is taken by
peGu de sole, faille, reps, twills and armure
patterns.

However, are conspicuous factors in dress,
and to a large extent take the place of
combination costumes. Experience mas
brought finish and continued play of fancy,
much that is new and noticeable. Silk
threads in WOODEN borders give handsome
blendings; metal threads play higher
part, and both are often disposed in Persian
patterns that are reckoned extremely
stylish, the inner part of the breadth being
often filled in with palm leaves. Stripes,
either in monotone of different weaves
or in contrasting colors, are also
very fashionable, and compete with
plaids for supremacy, having the adj
vantage of greater adaptahility, since ac-
cording as the stripe is wide or narrow, it
may be worn by stout or slender persons,
while plaids or even checks are or should
be confined exclusively to the slender.
Both are frequently combined with plain
goods, particularly the last two, and are an
example of stylish uniting, and conveying
late ideas in dressmaking as we'll Refer
ence may be had to four costumes furnished
by Lord & Taylor to Huper8 Bazar of

fabric and the fourth is bordered dress.
