Cnrinsities OF Plant Life.

It has been shown by Professor Shubeler,
a Norwegian plant geographer, that most
plants in high ATTITUDES produce much
larger and heavier seeds than in warmer re-
gions near the equator This effect he attri-
butes to the prolonged influence Of sunlight
during the long summer days Of high lati-
tudes. The difference in seed development
was very remarkable in some cases. Dwarf
beans taken from Christiana to Drontheim
less than four degrees further north, gained
more than 60 per cent. in weight, and thyme
from Lyons, when planted at Drontheim,
showed a gain of n per cent. The grain OF
northern fields is heavier than when it grows
in more southern localities, and seed from
Norway planted in Breslau decreased greatly
in the first year The leaves, also, Of most
plants are larger and more deeply colored in
higher ATTITUDES, as was first noticed by
Griesbach and Martins. This is true of flow
ers, many of which, white in southern eli
mates, become violet in the far north.-Bos-
ton Budget.

Groups of Cities.

One Of the curiosities of New York city is
the growing tendency to form group of
cities instead Of one, for as one moves about
the eastern streets he goes distinctly from
one nationality to another. On one street,
or group of blocks, one language is spoken,
and on contiguous blocks, another. Null
berry street and vicinity is wholly Italian in
spirit, in speech. in sports and employment.
Mott street, a little further on, is the Chinese
home. a hive of Celestials. There is also a
Bohemia, Poland, Hungary Palestine,
while ireland is pretty much all over and
everywhere. This grouping of nationalities
is seen also in marked degree in Chicago, and
in a lesser degree elsewhere. 1t is not easily
avoided bu. it is attended with evils and
dangers. 1t is slow work assimilating such
people into our common nationality. The
Irish and Germans most easily fuse with our
native Saxon stock. Globe Democrat.

Described in the nursery ballad, who Lived

troubled with chronic indigestion. Her
victuals, like those OF many other elderly per
sons whose digestive powers have become
impaired, didn't agee with her. This was be-
fore the era of HOstetter's Stomach Bltters
or some one of her numerous friends and rea-
tivcs would undoubtedly have persuaded her
to try the great specific for dyspepsia, cOnsti-
patton and bIliOusness This would have
been a measure of self-prOte 'tiOn on their
part, for she would soon have been cured and
ceased to disturb them with her clamOr. The

SHORT FASHION NOTES.
Styles That seems to BE in High FaVo
Among Fashion Leaders.

Styles That seems to BE in High Favor
Among Fashion Leaders.
Dresses made entirely of Grape are
worn only by widows.
Tbs newest wrinkle in Paris is a
coloI-cd gown with black sleeves.
Henrietta cloth is the material used
for tue first-mourning dress.
White flannel gowns look cool; their
wearers do not unless the day is frigid.
Never any fashion in dress died SO
| hard as The bustIe, but 1t Is almost
gone.
Every well-regulated costume bears
a fan attachment at the present time.
Blazers are closed with one button at
the throat, or three buttons placed
lower down.
There are fans and fans, but the
good old fashioned palm-leaf fan takes
the prize.
The straight skirts which are now so
fashionable measure four and half
yards around.
Wooden dresses of different weights
are the most appropriate fabrics of
seaside costumes.
Accordion-plaited skirts are in high
favor in Paris, so their lease of life is
likely to be extended here.
Crepe de chine is the prettiest fabric
in use that can be worn on dress &C.
casions during the period of mourning.
The French style of mourning is
more generally adopted in this country
than the English, because it is less
heavy.
Minton China is in high favor for
dinner services, Worcester for table
decorations, and crown Derby for
vases.
The prettiest white dresses of the
season are made of China silk and silk
null, the null being used for the
sleeves.
To cover parasol twenty inches
deep it requires two and one-quarter
yards of material that is twenty inches
wide.
Trade for shoemakers will look up
if dresses which show the ankles find
favor. They are the newest importa-
lions from abroad.
White silk and lace parasols have an
air that IS not truly rural, but which is
becoming to light and jaunty costumes
nevertheless.
Angel sleeves, or, as the Parisians
call them. "mauchera la Juive," are
worn with sleeveless jackets over
skirts the same color as the sleeves.
La Surprise de la Course" is the
name given to a dress which was il
high favor at the English races. A
first view it appears somewhat like {
plain redingote, but when thrown oper
in front displays a petticoat and waist
coat of great richness.-N. Y. Press.

But when Abe came in sight of the

that some one had preceded him, for
there was light already in the room,
