Broadcloth and beaver wraps have scat

set in rings Of passementerie, mink in rings
of brown passementerie upon brown ciotn,

ceit is the trimming OF Krimmer cloth

of seal plush with mouflon was noted some
weeks since, as also the new Persian cloth.
There IS a wide-wale cloth that is being
used considerably for moderate priced
coats, and an odd cloth that looks more like
rag carpet than anything else. Plaid cloths
are in coats and listers.

A set of bedroom hangings comprises
window curtains as numerous as the win
dows, portleres for every d or, the canopy
for the bed, and a cuuyrepied or footcover
to throw across the footboard. Some add
table and dressing bureau scarfs, but it is
more effective that these should be of white
and lighter materials. A set recently shown
was of pale blue serge, beautifully worked
in fax, in a thistle design. The popularity
was that the thisries were in natul al colors
Of feathery white and lichen green, but the
blue background was of the neutral shade
which did not clash with the other calors.

If the discoveries made by the State
Dairy Commissioner of New Jersey afford
an.example of the deleterious mixtures
We eat and drink in New York, there is
well-founded reason for alarm, con-
fssses the New York Mews. According
to his report, 2186 samples of food,
drugs and dairy products were examined
during the year 1890, and of that num-
bef A68 samples were found to be adul-
terated. Out of 1876 samples of cream
Of tartar, sixty were within the require.
ments Of the law. Moro than a third of
the lard was impure. Forty out of fifty
bags of coffee were bogus. Frauds were
found in canned French peas, jt lies,
honey and olive oil. In ten lots of mus
lard, not one was pure; pepper was an
abomination, and of ITO samples of drugs,
such as are used in every family, forty
four samples were adulterated. Figures
like the foregoing possess lively interest
and If similar condition of the things
exist on this side of the Hudson, the
public would like to know the fact, and
eco the remedy promptly applied.
