Fashions in Mourning.

Black worn for parents should not be
dispensed with for at least eighteen
months, during which time no place of
amusement can be visited and no invita-
tions to dinners, lunches or parties accept
ed. No one wearing mourning should
ever think of going to theater. 1t is in
congruous. Mourning may be mingled
with white at the beginning of the second
year and finished with the various tints OF
purple.
For widow no mourning can be too
somber Henrietta cloth is the best mate
rial known. The veil, during the first
half year, is four yards long and nearly
covers the figure in front and back. 1t is
fastened to the bonnet by mourning pins
and may be shortened one-half or even
more toward the end of the first year,
when it is thrown back from the face. The
bonnet should be small to show the wild
ow's cap. Jewelry, feathers, fringes, silk
and velvet trimmings are all in the worst
OF taste. Jet is admissible.
After laying aside Grape, black bunting
and grenadine are appropriate. Black
ear-drops should be worn, if any, and a
black silk guard-chain for the watch. while
handkerchiefs and note paper show mourn
ing borders, either wide or narrow. Grape
is not an absolute necessity in the mourn
ing garb except for husband or child, and
it should never be used by the young, who
wear simple black for Il year, then quiet
hues for the next six months.
Those who wear black consider it pro-
lection from many occurrences and in
quiries that might otherwise be difficult to
encounter. It tells its own story, needing nc
explanation and demanding only silent
sympathv.-GOod Housekeepin0.

6. Moreover, it is a mistake to presuma !
that only those questions which are made
issues in party platforms are settled at the
polls. The prohibitory legislation in
Kansas, Iowa and Maine was not en-
acted by any party organized on that is
sue.
Z. Besides, 1t is matter of common OBJ /
servation that strictly partisan legislation |
can be enforce only in limited localities.
s. The idea of Prohibition party to |
enforce prohibition policy, which third |
party leaders reiterate, sounds well, and is
very misleading to those who have not
thought the matter through. Professor
Bascomb, the ablest expounder OF this
theory says: "The State must be differed
from top to bottom" on this basis, "electing
the officers, from judge to justices of the
peace, governors, mayors, aldermen and
policemen" and must hold the power
for dozen years or Sc" then dit can en-
force prohibition"
This is the ideal scheme the third party
is entertaining. And some such machin-
cry through all the towns and cities of
State will indeed be necessary to justify
their theory of prohibitory party behind
a prohibition policy to enforce it.
| But what vain delusion Where is
the State, especially if it has any large
cities, which is "oficered from top to bot
TOM" and in all its municipalities, by the
party that holds the State offices? Not
one can be mentioned. The Democrats are
now in the ascendency in the State Of New
York, but large areas of the State are Re
publican; and when the Republicans have
held the State offices in New York the
Democrats have held New Yorl, city and
many other towns and cities The same is
true of all other States.
And yet these ideal party builders would
postpone the great interests of the temper
ance reform, would hedee up and obstruct
the efforts of those who, by bipartisan
methods seek to protect the home against
the saloon, until this impossible political
conception can be realized
On this visionary basis they make ex-
trayagant promises and predictions-their
principal stock in trade. 1t is an old trick
OF bankrupts that they are lavish with
promises to pay; so a political party that
is built upon hallucination can never be
solvent, either in present or prospective
results. 1t costs one nothing to offer 'al
the kingdoms of the world" when he doe.

Tho Florida Orange Crop

" The orange crop Of Florida is estimated
at 5000, 600 boxes for the year 1885," says
the Ocala Fres Press "a box of oranges
weighs so pounds, making the weight of
the crop 100000 pounds. This would
load $4,000 cars, or 1000 cars a month
during the year, 335 every day of the
year, as there are really but four orange
shipping months, it viii require 5000 cars
month to remove the crop. This will
be 100 cars day, or FIVE trains day of 2o
ears each, for removing this crop the roads
will get so cents box, or 81 100000. The
orange crop of Florida is no little thing
for the railroads, to say nothing of the i'm
mense crop of vegetables, etc. A CORE
pondent Of the Florida Dispatch writes as
follows: We have had big rain, which
seems TO cause the oranges to split badly, a
great many are splitting on the seedlings,
something | have never seen before NV
impression is the rain has been the cause"

Counting In Canada.

Canadian girls it is said, allow their
lovers six months to make a decision. II
the youth is particularly bashful and the
young lady is indulgent she may give him
place on the sofa and accept contribu-
tions of the sap of the maple with which
he comes laden to her fresh from the forest
for another three months. But unless
somewhere in that time he asks her to be
his own he must seek other fresides. She
doesn't weep at the parting or make any
time over it. There are as good fish in the
sea as ever was caught, she argues, and in
that reason she finds consolation for the
misspent time. Canadian girls are not
only pretty but they are all trained to
make good housekeepers-Erc

The Tomato in Brights Disease.

When Thomas Jefferson brought the
tomato from France to America, thinking
that if it could be induced to grow boun-
tifully it might make good feed for hogs
he little dreamed of the benefit he was
comforting upon posterity. A constant
diet Of raw tomatoes and skim-milk is said
to be a certain cure for Brights disease
General Schenck, who, when Minister to
England, became victim to that COM
plant, was restored to health by tive
years of this regimen. With many per-
sons the tomato has much the same eff.
feet upon the liver as a small blue pill
and whether it is as people we are les,
bilious than in former years, or that the
doctors of the new school practice less
severe remedies than did those of The
past, it is certain that mercury is pre-
scribed with less frequency than Of old

beautiful Heroism

Acts of heroism in medical life are so
frequent and appear to be so natural part
of it that they are not chronicled as often
as they should be One such deed, how
ever, recently found its way into the Brit
ish Medical Journal, where it is mentioned
as an illustration of the self-sacrifce OF
medical men in behalf of suffering human
ity. 1t is the case of a surgeon in the Brit
ish army, named Landon Mortally
wounded himself, and with the grasp Of
death rapidly closing down on him, he
heard a wounded soldier crying out from
the sharp pain of his hurt Forgetful ot
self he crept with difficulty to where the
man lay and gave him a hypodermatic in
lection of morphia to lessen suffering, and
having given it, lay down and died by the
side of the soldier-Medical Netus.
