Petrifed Remains OF a Giant.

Vital Jarcot, who carries mail between
Fort Maginnis and Rocky Point, in Mon
tana, brings news of the discovery of the
petriied remains of giant in the Bad
Lands of Chotteau County, few miles
below the mouth of Mussel Shell River.
The discovery was made by Lala Dona,
who started of to find purchaser for
his curiosity before Jarcot could get a
complete description. The remains were
not complete, petrifcation having only
taken place in a portion of the body,
while the remainder had followed the
course of nature and returned to dust.
One leg was eight feet long, the thigh
being about four feet. A rib WINS found
which measured two and half feet.

THE IYDEscRIBABLE PARAsoLs.

Is it OF use to try and say a word about
the parasolsl They're as indescribable
as summer clouds and about as unsub-
stantial. They're very large this year,
and they have cloissonnc handles most
delicately enameled. Some are egg
shaped and some flare quite like UNI
brelles; these statements are more or less
prosy and definite, but when it comes to
the coverings then toss up gaIze and
jewels and imagine them floating in air.
Clear yellow crepe is one example, en-
broidered in gold boss with daisies, with
ruches of crepe festooned from point TO
point, aud deep, double crepe dounces
depending. Crepe rosettes bury the stick
point where it projects from the canopy.
White gauze is another gossamcr ex-
ample. A broad gold band has been
woven in tinsel threads into the sub
stance, and this circles il in festoons
caught up with square bows and
ends. From point to point droop lace
founces.
A third canopy is of pale laven Ter
crepe The violets with which it is
dotted have cost many a weary week in
their embroidery. Crepe ruches run
down each rib and about the circle in
deep vandykc pointings. Below the
ruches are triple crepe houncinss. - chi

NEW METHOD OF WAVING THE HAIR.

NEW METHOD OF WAVING THE HAIR.
There is a new method of waving the
hair at the side, by which it will remain
in fluctuations for two or three weeks.
Tinv little curls and combs can be cum
pinply inserted wherever they are re-
ouired, and for those who prefer to wave
thei- hair themselves, there is clever
continuance, by which tress is twisted
between wires, and kept firmly in place
until the desired effect is produced. In
Paris the coiffures are worn fiat to the
head and to meet the wants of those who
tend to follow the coming fashion OF the
catogan, NJ. Sobocinski has introduced
new twist for the back of the head,
which ends at the napc of the neck in
curls. This is a long strand of hair
which, to be manipulated, is held in the
centre, the two ends intertwistcd, and
the curled points slipped through the
loop at the top. This produces pretty
effect, and it can be also formed into L
true lovers knot.-New York World.

His Match.

The well-known historical parsonage,
Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony,
has furnished the subject for many a
tale of his wonderful muscular power.
We need refer only to one Characters
tic story, in which, however, he met
his match. He entered blacksmith s
shop to have his horse snod. To show
his suite how strong he was, picking up
several horseshoes, he broke one after
the other, asking the blacksmith whether
he had no better. When it came to
paying the bill the Elector Augustus
threw a six-dollar piece on theanyil. 1t
was very thick coin. The blacksmith
took it up and broke it in halves, say
ing
Pardon me; but l have given you
good horseshoe and | expecta good coin
in return"
Another six dollar piece was given
him; but he broke that and five or six
others, when the humiliated prince put
an end to the performance by giving the
blacksmith a louis dor, pacifying him
by saying
"Thc dollars were probably made Of
bad metal, but this gold piece l hope is
good"

A VERY FASHIONABLE WEDDING.

At recent very fashionable wedding
the bridesmaids wore pink silk dresses
brocaded with white marguerites; white
silk SHRED hats trimmed with white
plumes and pink roses. Their moss
green velvet Henri Deux coats were
lined with pink silk. The two little
pages of honor, who acted as train
bearers, were attired in white Jack
Tar" suits, and a wee maid of honor
walked in demurcly just little in ad-
vance of the bridal party, in dress OF
pink chiffon of many airy short skirts,
her dimpled neck and arms bare, and her
head a mass of short golden curls.
"Cupidine" she was called, aud she
carried silver bow in her hands, twinei
with orange blossoms, and six littlc arrows
we're slung ACROSS her shoulder at the
back, these tipped with gold and
"feathered" with valley lily sprays.
During a part of the service the brides
maids chanted a very beautiful welding
hymn, and the ceremony itself was
carried on soto voce between the minis
ter and the contracting parties" the
service being inaudable to any person
present save "Jack Tar" and "Cupidine, "
who stood at the minister's side. -NeD

y akIng Home Pleas INT.

Every member of the household
ought to feel it his or her duty to try to

the children obedient and mannerly to

at home will end, by and by, when the
children grow up and leave the family
circle to enter one OF their own. Some
