T We have long been accustomed to

let us change it. There were bad old
times of the French revolution. when

There were worse old times before the
French revolutions; times of tyranny
and royal caprice and unutterable de-
bauchery in high places; times that
could only be purified as by Ere.
There we're the bad old times OF the
middle ages in Europe, when children
were allowed to have their feelings
wrought up so that they would enlist

by the ten thousand.

There were the bad old times in our

ties which these same dress -makers

ever One novelty which will, we
hope, not reach US is the bull aght,
which since and during the Expose
ton Is one form of excitement in
which society in Paris indulgea This
barbarous entertainment has given a
Spanish tinge to every thing, and the
toilettes most in vogue are those
which are suggestive of the arena.
Hence we have the picturesque SOM

the votaries of fashion. The mantillas
fastened to the head at the back with

exciting occasions. 1t Is folded d.

kerchief, the two ends of which are
knotted in the back of the neck, while
the point falls into the opening OF the
dress in front. The Spanish wrap is
represented by the short senorita with
epaulettes. which is a becoming sub
stitute for the English jacket. 81
The new fall goods. cashmeres,
cloths, cheviots and diagonals come in
divers designs, of which the large
plaids, discs and broad stripes are
most favored.
A very attractive costume has y

An elegant directoire gown has the
waist. triple revers, and cuffs on one
mass OF gold embroidery.
Handsome dinner and reception
dresses are made Of new material, shot
moire, interviewer with gold or silver
threads. upon which the gaslisht has
q magical effect. Peau de sole and
,brocade are also in demand in broad
stripes In three colors or in large floral
designs, which almost completely hide
tho ground tone of the material.
The new shapes in hats show lower
crowns with broad BRINE. proiusely
trimmed with ostrich plumes, which
lie fiat on the brim and droop over In

the unfortunate possessor OF the seat

grapes is especially becoming to
blondes, one of green ones to bru-

For dress trimmings the fringes In
all widths and cOlors are the favorites;
those Of cut jet have most brilliant
effect, as with each motion OF the
wearer the lights and colors vary.

When all the world is silent and le's daily cares

And there I'd weave pure, white crown

And in each golden heart I'd place
For you fervcnt prayer
A crown oflilies sweet and ardent prayer,
That gifts from earth and heaven may crown your

And a crimson rose with its heart of fire,
White locust blooms from swaying boughs,a dainty,
wind-swept Tyre.
And in a quiet nook L know,
Where breezes pass,
The evening primrose, like a star,
CLEANS golden in the grass
A folded bud beneath the suns clear light,
Which only wakes to fragrant bloom amid the
shades of night.
And 1 will place among the flowers

White immortelles which shadow forth

And add this wish for one / love we'll

Nature of the Surface of Mars.

The surface of Mars when viewed
in the telescope is at once seen to be
divided into regions of three classes
whose principal distinction is in color.
The reddish regions have been call
ed continents, islands land: the
dark, greenish regions have been call
ed seas, oceans, CULTS; the whitish
regions near the poles of Mars have
been identified with the polar caps
of ice and snow. In general these
latter wax and wane as they should
with the Martial winter and summer;
and in spite of minor variations it
seems to be fairly proved that they
are in fact what they seem to be
namely, masses of polar snow or ice
If snow and ice exist on the planet
there mnst be water there, and the
vapor of water. The spectroscope
yields independent evidence of the
presence of watery vapor in the plan
cts atmosphere also. Whether the
dark green or the reddish regions are
the oceans, seas and CULTS has never
yet been settled by observation. The
colors seem, by terrestrial analogies,
to designate the green areas as oceans,
the red as land, but this distinction
is one based almost exclusively on
analogy. The encroachment of
green areas upon red ones is now ex-
planned as partial submergencies of
(red) continents by the neighboring
(green) seas. But the case may be
the exact opposite, and, in fact, it is
quite possible q very different affair
altogether. The limbs or edges of
the planet are always of lemon yell
low hue, which tint usually masks the
sharp lines of the markings. 1t is by
no means understood how the absorp-
ton of the planets atmosphere ope-
rates.
ga comparison of the earlier or
later drawings has established one
fact beyond question. The markings
seen by Hooke and Huyghens are to
be seen to-day unchanged in form.
Again, the positions of the points of
Mars which M@dler accurately fixed
more than fifty years ago, are the
same as their positions determined
to-day (their ATTITUDES and longitudes)
within the small errors inseparable
from and to be expected in this kind
Of observation. In general then we
may say that the main features of
Mars remain unchanged from year to
year. While this is certainly true in
general, Prof. Schiaparelli has dem
onstrated that it is by no means rig
idly true. Many parts of the plan
cts surface vary in color from time
to time; the boundaries of the dark
regions have varied to and fro over
measurable spaces certain on the
more delicate features seem to be
more easily seen at one time than at
others Though this may we'll be due
to the varying transparency of the
earth's atmosphere), and, finally, the
atmospheric of Mars itself must and
does produce meteorological varia-
tons. AS Prof. Schlaparelli has said,
"this planet is no desert of arid rocks +;
it is living; and its life is manifested
in a complex system of appearances,
some of which are on so grand a
scale that they can even be detected
from our station on the earth"
