Fashions Yagarles.

Dame Fashion Is notoriously fickle and
fanciful goddess, full of whins md yara-
ries, but not all of her freaks are so pretty
and pleasing as the idea at present adopt
Ell by the ladies' OF London, who have
eschewed entirely white underclothing, and
who wear every garment beneath their
dresses OF one uniform color. Our own
ladies long ago adopted mcrino, or silk
union garments, for wear next tho body.
but She prevailing English fashion is 10
wear 70 article of muslin or cambria, with
tho exception of the night dress; and tho
entire OUTFIT, MS gay, including the stock
ings, is chosen Of n uniform color, say pale
lavender, pink or blue.
The idea is graceful and delicate one,
anu Is likely to obtain favor on this side OF
the water.
Ioques are quito popular with young
ladies', and straw shapes with tall crowns
and rolling brims are also not n little worn.
Speaking OF toll hits, do not notice
that tho late agitation concerning their use
Ill the thcators has ut all decreased tho
number worn ct places of amusement.
Women have u CONTRARY" streak Running
through them, and they will not DO induced
to desert their pot fashions by any amount
of popular Indignation.
Fashionable jewelry inclines 10 novelty
and oddity of design rather than richness
and elegance. Flowers arc initiated in

Popular tints of tho season arc "telo-
phone, new ernyish blue; "jubilce" blue,
named for the Queens anniversary:

Paint the Shingles.

The Tin,bermon very wisely remarks
that it has always seemed singular that in
the use of paint to preserve wood ex-
posed to the weather, the fact that Il
sningle roof was omitted from the cata-
logue was invariably the rule. This idea
or oversight was one of those things in
which custom becomes habit, and be-
cause everyone else did so, all the rest
followed suit. 1t is safe 10 presume that
the custom of leaving the shinglc roof
implanted originated in IFS angular form,
being less exposed 10 the after effects of
rain or snow. a little thought will show
the folly OF such II conclusion when re-
Numbering the frail nature of 81 shingle
and the slight fastening it has. If paint
would be useful on any weailer-cXposcd
surface, it should certainly be on roof.
This fact goes without telling, and in the
present style of suburban residences the
roof receives its share of paint along with
the rest of the building, thus at once
combining the useful with the beautiful.
1t is certainly singular that painting of
roofs his not always prevailed, and it
adds much to the finished character of
the building TO see the roof painted.

Snaai'img Founders.

Have you ever seen the fisherman across

was once visiting friend on the coast,
and one beautiful moonlight night we
walked out or one Of the piers and saw
this mode of fishing. 1t requires sharp
eye and steady hand. The upper surface
of the founder so nearly resembles the
color of the ground on which they lie
that. it is not so easy to see them. They
are destitute of the air bladder, and so lie
at the bottom OF tie sea or bay. The
liattcned shape of their bodies, the ar
rangcment Of the fins and the position of
their eyes on the upper side, fit them to
move along the bottom and in shadows.
While nature has adapted them perfectly
to their place, she has not bestowed
beauty on them, and they are grotesquc
and even repulsivc in appearance. Their
flat, thin bodies have become proverbial.
SO that we say Of anything in that shape
Sag fat as a fiouhder;" and their awk-
ward, wriggling, wallowing movements
have suggested, the word sRoundering's
as description of ungainly motion. The
fishermen use torches to look for the fish,
and when discovered thrust their sharp
spears into them and bring them up i'm.
paled, dropping them from the points
irto their boats. es-Democrdt.

with loud repeated shouts and huzzas tho
people cried; 'God bless our Washing-

pie, and the air again rang with accla-
nations. Washington, followed by the
company at the balcony, now returned to
the Senate Chamber, where he took his
seat and the Senators and Representa-
tives their seats. When Washington
arose to speak all stood and listened

After delivering his address, the Presi-

the Speaker, the two houses of Congress,
and all who attended the Inauguration

The Organ of Cremation.

There is paper published in Germany
called Die Flamme, and which is devoted
to the advocacy of cremation. Unwit-
tingly, perhaps, a recent issue contains
the strongest sort of argument against
that method of disposing of the dead. 1t
seems that Professor Ungarclli, of Eegz
rara, was taken i'll and apparentl, issa,
He was laid out, the funeral service Eeld,
and the coffin was being put in Chg grave,
when one of the workmen hcardSa grean.
Examination showed the supposed dead
man to be alive, and that he had beaii
conscious all the time, though unable to
move or express himself. Had cremation
been practiced horrible death must have
resulted. Francisco Chronicle.

Auninue Scran Rnok

A gentleman well known in Atlanta rs
the general agent of one of the largest
soap manufactures in the country, has,
ut his home on the Hudson, scrap book
which will doubtless prove an interesting
heirloom in his family. BY this book
he can tell exactly where he was on any
day i'll the past fifteen years. His method
seems to be ncw-at least it is unique.
Every day i'll the year he writes home.
After reading the letter, his wife pre-
serves the envelope, which, of course,
contains the postofficc stamp upon its
face. This half of the envelope is care
fully posted in its place in the book, and
stands as record of the sendcr's where
abouts upon the day indicated by the post
mark. AS the owner of the book has
been over the greater part of the world,
his book is a decided curiosity. atlanta

Varieties of Lilac.

There are about twenty varieties of
lilac, nil of which are pretty and flourish
iii any garden soil under circumstances in
which other shrubs would dwindc and
die. The common purple lilac is the
largest of the species. The white variety
is less common and not so sickishly sweet
The Persian lilac is a small tree of grace
f,il habits, and its flowers are of n lighter
lilac color. The Chinese lilac has much
darker flowers than the other varieties,
and its leaves are dark glossy green

The Languages Mint.

The rapidity with which words are
coined by the English-speaking race is
wonderful, and to England some of the
most remarkable instances are due. The
verb "to burke" Ito. rifle graves of
corpses) and its origin are well known,
and it has been i'll use for many years
The word ''boycott" is of too recent
origin to need more than passing notice
But perhaps the most remarkable instance
yet afforded is now seen in the English
papers, which have adopted the verb 'to
wiitechapcl. The new word certainly
has the merit of being much less sugges-
tive and Objectionable than the expression
which it rcprcsents-jSan Flancisc9
