Mr.. meAIlister and New York society.

Mr.. MeAIIister and New York Society.
The contempt in which missionaries
have always held commercial society is
natural and it is natural that such a So
ciety should always try 30 escape from
itself by reyerting 10 the ideals of aris-
tocracy; this was the way of commercial
lied society in Venice and in Florence ;
but il is none the more digrifod in New
York for that reason. II is. always and
everywhere amusing 10 Sc "a pIutOcracy
trying to turn into an aristocracy, and
this is what Mr.. McAllister shows us,
with no apparent sense of its cOmicality.
These men who have had no ideal hut 10
get money and more money, these women
who have no ideal but 20 spend more and
more, are necessarily ridiculous in the
transformation act; but il is not Mr. Me
Allister who has made them so; he has
merely shown them so. He did not
create society il created him; and If he
is deplorable, society is to blame for him.
If society had known how TO do some
thing besides dress and dine and dance,
we have no doubt be would have SAID SO
that is. he would have written a diff
ferent book. But you can not make
something out of nothing. w. ID. How

Registering Under n False Name.

1t is usually a mistake to write a
false name on hotel register. A
country merchant was obliged TO de-
cline an invitation to a trade conven-
ton in New York last spring. While
the convention was in session he was
suddenly called to the city on pressing
business. He arrived at hotel, and
seeing the register covered with the
names of his friends at the trade con-
vention, he signed false name. The
next day he went out to lunch with his
lawyer, leaving his overcoat at the
latter's office. In the middle of the
afternoon he telephoned to have his
coat sent to his hotel The coat was
sent but it took the owner two days &c
get it, because the lawyer had put the
mans own name on the box contain
ing the coat There was no such name
on the register, and the box was put
aside to be called for. Meanwhile the
falsifier missed a telegram from his
wife, received cards from people he
didn't know, and found himself an OBJ
ject of suspicion on the part of the
hotel people.-N. Y. Sun.

Life History of the Insect and Remedies

Though the Hessian fly damages 9TH
err cereals than wheat, its ravages il
them are but slight, compared with
wheat. The life history of this insect
has been but imperfectly known until
Prof. s. A. Forbes, of the University of
Illinois, began an investigation of the
subject He finds that there are always
two and sometimes three or four de.
structive generations in a single year,
but the chief damage is done By the
first spring and last autumnal genera
tions. The winged insects, delicate,
nearly black, two-winged gnats or
flies, much resembling small mosqui-

tion) make their APPEARANCE about the
first of April, pair at once and lay the
eggs (a) for another generation, in the

eggs hatch into milk-white, oval
smooth larvae or maggots (o) which
make their way down the leaves to the
base of the sheaths near the root and
remain there motionless until grown,
after which they form tough, smooth
dark brown cases, the flaxseeds (c)

Small Headgear the Thing.

The newest thing from across the
water is an eccentric use of the bonnet
string. 1t appears that all of the head
gear, this winter, will be close-ftting
and comparatively small Turbans,
toques and narrow, slightly crowned
bonnets will show only vague modif-
cation on last summers trimming In
fact, strings are depended upon to fur
nish this seasons chiefest novelty For
some time past women have shown an
inclination to make any possible dispo-
sition of the ribbons save fasten them
under the chin They are carried round
and tied fancifully at the back, or
crossed in front and drawn upward be-
hind, with ends held by jeweled pins on
the crown of the head. But now il
seems that fashion has widened the
strings to couple OF inches or even
more, and commands her followers to
wear a neat bow directly under the
chin, with very short loops and ends
that fall to the hem of the dress. Illus

Foy the Fireplace.

A unique fireplace in one of the SUBJ
urban towns has attracted considerable
notice this summer. Primarily, it is of
the deep, old-fashioned type, with
quaint brass firedogs and a broad
hearttstone. A picturesque rustic bas-
ket, 1ormed of interlaced strips of iron,
hangs about two feet above the hearth.
Two sheet iron boxes having handles
at The ends, by means of which they
msy be easily lifted in and out are
made to fit inside the rustic basket
one of these is filed with wedding
,erns and graceful vines, and does duty
on warm days. In the other fire is
kindled, and, should the evening be
cold, it is but a moments work to lift
out the fern box, replace 1t with the
fire-box and touch a match to the
pretty birch logs with which it is in
variably filed. The basket is oblong
in shape and is suspended by means of
an iron chain fastened high up in the
chimney. Chicago Herald
