We illustrate fresh and simple

is light-green nuns yelling draped
over MORE of the same shade. The
yelling is crimped and thus made to
resemble the folds so much admired in
statua1y. This crinkled effect is OBJ
tanned by slightly dampening the
fabric and then drawing it through the
closed hand, allowing it to dry in the
folds thus made. It is then draped
in straight lines over plain round
skirt and over the waist in folds as
shown. The small chemisette is of
white embroidery, as is also the high
collar. The round waist with the sash
effect is most becoming to a slender
girlish figure. A coarse straw hat is

One Language.

1.-THE whole earth was Of one Language and Of
one speech. Gen. tx. 1.
A Hindu and New Zelander me,
upon the deck of missionary ship.
They had been converted from their
heathenism, and We're brothers in
Christ; but they could not speak to
each other. They pointed to thei,
Bibles, shook hands, and smiled in each
others faces; but that was all. Atlast
happy thought occurred to the Hindu.
With sudden joy, he exclaimed: "Hal'
leluia! "The New Zealander, in de-
light, cried out "Amen!" These two
words, not found in their own heather
tongues, were to them the beginning Of
zone language and one speech. '-Olo

The vatme Of a sacred sabbath.

When DR.. Strong, in his address at
Farwell Hall Chicago, said that the
State had as much right to enforce the
quiet observance of the Sabbath as to
enact laws for the compulsory educa-
ton of youth, he uttered logical truth
which there is no disputing. The
safety of the State depends upon the
morality Of its people as much, nay,
more than on their intelligence. Edu-
cation alone will not suffice to render
our republic perpetual if its people
neglect the observance Of it's Sabbath
and convert it from day of reflection
and peaceful rest into !. day of mingled
business and indulgence in intemper-
ate amusement.
In no one way has the great stream
of continual immigration into the
United States tended to injure the
republic more than in the disregard of
our Sunday customs which it has
brought with it. No man can tell how
much of the republics amazing prog.
ress is attributable to the influence of
Sunday observance among the early
colonists and the men of '76. DR..
Strong uttered great truth when he
said that those nations which are
blessed with the largest measure OF
liberty are those which most carefully
preserve the Sabbath as sacred dav.
Outside Of such nations there is really
very little popular liberty. Chicago

Deer.

The beautiful deer, with their slen-
der limbs, and small heads proudly
erect, are general favorites, but to ap-
preciate them fully they should be
seen in their natural wild state. The
forests of most countries, except Aus.
tralia, are adorned with these elegant
animals, which, being timid creatures,
have tendency to live together in
focks. They run rapidly, and are ex-
ceedingly graceful in all their move
ments
Perhaps the most distinguishing feat
ure Of the deer family is the large horns,
or antlers, which are possessed by the
males only, and are quite different from
ordinary horns. The antlers are solid,
and are mostly branching in form.
Regularly at the end of each year they
fall off, and are replaced by new ones,
whereas the horns of most animals are
hollow, and grow around bony
core which is part of the skeleton itself
consequently these horns are never
shed, and one set lasts during whole
lifetime. The antlers of the deer are
in their finest condition in the autumn
and winter, but toward spring the
stag is observed to rub it's head rest
lessly against the trees, as if to rid him
self of an uncomfortable burden, and
when the antlers finally drop off he is
deprived not only of his chief orna-
ment, but also of his means of defence.
Tender little knobs push up in the
place of the cast-otf antlers. and he is
soon furnished with fine new pair.
These knobs are covered with velvety
skin which is richly supplied with
blood-vessels bringing material to
build up the new antlers. They grow
rapidly, and send out branches at the
proper points, so that within four or
five months another pair OF horns is
completed, and the deer is again fully
equipped, and eager to try his strength
with his fellows. When the antlers
have reached their full size, the blood
vessels to which we have alluded are
gradually closed, and all the velvety
skin is thus (cprived OF its nourishment,
it dries and peels of, leaving the strong
new horn uncovered. The antlers
usually gain one additional prong with
every new growth, and in this way be.
come larger and more branched each
succeeding year, until in old age they
are very large.
Deer are Illuminating animals, or, in
other words, they chew the cud, the
same as oxen do. You may not have
had an opportunity to observe this for
yourselves in the deer, but no doubt
you have watched the COW contentedlv
chewing her cud during her hours OF
leisure, and perhaps you have wondered
at those Jumps that rose in her throat
soon after you saw her swallow her
food. The Illuminating animals feed
entil ely upon vegetable substances, OF
which they take large quantities., and

Collar Plates.


Special collar plates are the rage just
now and are likely to continue for some
time, as the trade has been ruined by
the French modistes, who no longer
send out dress without finishing the
neck and sleeves. For long, thin,
giraffe-like necks, the finish is quilt
ing OF lace run at the top with cord
OF very narrow ribbon to hold it about
the throat. Other customers are pro-
vided with ruching edged with beads
of pearl, jet, crystal, metal, OF wood.
In the very latest trousseaus feature
of the French dress is an attempt to do
away with the high cadet collar that
has prevailed for six years OF more,
leaving the throat bare as low as the
collar-bone and finishing the dress with
a turned over anticipating of silk to
match the dress. Another arrangement
is a draping of a lace barb or scarf
about the neck of the waist and stitch
ing fan-shaped bows at the front and
back. This new departure will be
adopted only by the ladies with short,
fair, plump Threats, hence the imported
French gowns brought over this sea-
son, when cut in this manner, require
a little guimpe of net or embroidery,
or a dainty kerchief of silk or lace,
laid against the otherwise uncovered

Some may have apprehensions that

proof at hand of the doctrine he
preached, while the lame man was

the Lord Jesus But miracles never
cease, while souls are converted to
God; nor will tongues be ever wanting,
while the wonderful change wrought

II is their custom to swallow their food
hastily, without much chewing. and
then afterward to raise it into their
mouths and masticate it thoroughly ut
their leisure. In order to do so they
are supplied with very complicated
stomach, which is divided into foul
chambers. This singular plan of talk
ing food is admirably suited to the shy
and timid deer. They are SO easily
alarmed that it must often be greatly
to their advantage to be able tc
swallow their food rapidly and Their
flee to their shady retreats.
Those animals that chew the cud are
also "cloven-footed;;" that is to say they
have two toes, encased in hoofs which
have the appearance of a single hoof
that has been split into two equal parts.
In addition to these toes deer have two
smaller toes at the back of the foot
which seldom touch the ground, but
still they are encased in dainty little
hoofs.
The reindeer, which is confined to
the extreme north of Europe and
America, is tie only species of deer
that has been thoroughly domesticated.
Reindeer are not only used for drawing
sledges, but their milk and flesh sup
ply the natives with food, and their
skin is valuable for clothing. In Nor
way and Sweden large herds of rein
deer are owned by the farmers, who
roam over the mountain districts with
their herds to find pasture. These
strong, heavy animals eat scarcely any
thing bat reindeer moss and lichens,
which they obtain by digging with
their forefeet under the snow, and in
doing so. as the hole grows deeper and
larger, the animal is sometimes almost
lost to sight. They claim the privil-
ege of searching their own food, and
will not eat moss that has been gath
cred for them.
Reindeer are fine travellers, especially
in cold weather. When the way is good
and not too billy, they can travel a
hundred miles in day. Their feet arc
suited to walking upon snow, owing to
the manner in which the hoof sepa-
rates il treading, and by the long
coarse hairs growing between the
hoofs The foot may also be closed in
such way as to give firm support in
rocky places. This is the only kind Of
deer in which females have antlers.
Remains of the reindeer have been
found over the greater part of Europe,
and their presence in the same local..
ties that have at other times been fire.
quented by the lion. the rhinoceros,
and the hippopotamus, points to the
fact that these regions have been sub
ject at different periods in the earth's
history to the extremes of both heat
and cold.
Antelopes are especially abundant in
Africa. These attractive animals are
not classed with the true deer family,
for they have hollow horns, and they
do not shed them. Some of these horns
are dark and rich in color, and grow
into many beautiful shapes. The best
known of the antelopes is probably the
gazelle, which is admired for the ele.
gance of it's form and movements, as
we'll as for the mild expression of itf
"soft black eye" The gazelle roams
through the wilds of Africa in large
herds, and it grieves us very much tc
know that this gentle creature forms
the ordinary food of the lion and the
panther. -harpe,'s Young People.

original combination Of pink crepe de

velvet reticule hanging on the left arm
and the bunch of exquisite roses further
carry out the blending of moss-green
and pink. The bodice is cut low, but
