WHAT TO WEAR.
Some Suggestions Concerning Spring Cos
tunes.

Some Suggestions Concerning Spring Cos
tunes.
Black is united with almost every
color, and jet is peculiarly favored upon
tints of pink, yellow and gray. Black
serge showing weaving of graduated
satin stripes is in vogue, and is made up
so that. as far as practicable, the stripes
run vertically. Black and white broken
plaids, blocks and stripes in fine serge
and camel's-hair are shown, and are
becoming to all ages and figures. Rough
fabrics are also woven in black and
white combination. Mohairs of silk
warp. both wide and narrow, plain and
shaded, are very pretty in the grays as
we'll as in black and white. As this
fabric is light and does not take the
dust it is desirable as shopping and
street dress. and the handsome alpacas,
now so much worn, are recommended
for the same reason.
Among the fancy rough fabrics are
cheviOtS in which are woven invisible
checks in neutral browns and grays,
dappled with the inevitable knots of
white, black or colors. These are more
suitable for late spring. Smooth chew
lots having grounds OF mixed dark
colors are also seen with vertical stripes
of colored silk. Shepherdess suiting is
a soft. twilled fabric resembling plaid
camel s-hair, the squares being woven
of soft hair to stand out in relief from
the ground. These goods are pliable,
and can be made up with entire salts
faction by any of the prevailing modes.
A new fabric is called mousseline de
sole. Black grounds are embossed with
black silk figures, and this material is
much worn by elderly ladies, or by
widows who have laid aside Grape.
In cotton challies, the cream colored
ground is the favorite, on which are dis
PLAYED various shapes of flowers, ferns,
moons, crescentS, rings, feathers, and
borders of blossoms. vines or wide
spreading leaves. The new ginghams
are in plaids or stripes and very pretty.
The French sateens are of great beauty
of design and color. Inexpensive dresses
are made of cashmere com bined with
brocaded silk in contrasting colors In
the newest dresses. shoulder seams are
shorter than ever. and the high sleeves
make them appear still shorter. The
side-form seams reach almost or quite
to the shoulder seams, and waists are
much longer than heretofore. FOunda-
ton skirts are fitted as smoothly as a
waist lining. the fullness being taken
out by darts at the top of the front and
sides, and the fullness of the back
massed in the middle in plaits or gathers.

The subject of how to protect seed
corn from gophers is very important
one. Probably no greater leak than
just this can be found upon the farm.
l believe that fully one-eighth of the
stand of corn is injured every year. 1
have known of very many pieces taken
so badly that entire replanting was
necessary: sometimes fax was sown
instead but that is an injury to the
ground. If smoking seed corn with
sulphur or anything else will prevent
gophers molesting it, I would like to
knolr it You see | want to emphasize
the word KNOW. l have seen d dozen
ways of prevention going the rounds of
the papers, bat should hate to pin my
faith to something and then lose a
stand of corn. Poison and watchful-
ness will protect; but it is no light task,
and at season of the year when every
moment is precious, and one can i'll
spare the time. Smoking can be done
at ones leisure before the rush of spring
work begins--Orange Judd Farmer.

Self-Deniai.

Most Christians use very glibly
phrases whose meaning has never
been translated into the language OF
experience. How many professed
Christians really know what it is to
DENY themselves, for Christ's sake, oil
any thing which they desire. Self-de-
NAL is not refraining from those
things which we are forbidden to do
that is simply obedience-but it is to
do without something which is per-
fectly lawful, something which may
be very much desired, yet to secure. it
would hinder one from performing
some act of special charity. There is
where the self-denial comes in.
Suppose q Christian woman wishes
to make o special contribution to
missions and decides to wear her last
seasons hat and to give the value OF
the desired new one to that cause. She
has performed an act of genuine self
denial which will not lose its reward.
Suppose a Christian man cannot al
ford to give twenty-five dollars to be-
nevolcnt Church purposes and also get
q new suit. He determines to wear
the old suit awhile longer and give the
money so saved to Christ. In 50 doing
he denies himself, and at the same
time demonstrates his love for the
Master In such q manner that brings
more genuine satisfaction than would
the possession of Il different suit for ev-
cry day in the week.
These are some Of the lesser appli-
cations of this fundamental principle
Of Christianity. Find the bearing of
this principle upon your individual
case and act accordingly.

Where to Keep Bread.

Never keep bread in any place
which is either damp or close. If it
does not actually mould, it will ac-
quire mouldy taste. We call to
mind case in which bread was kept
in small closet which was always
tightly closed. After the lapse of two
or three months it was noticed that,
although the bread had not mould
ed, it had so mouldy taste as
TO he almost uneatable. 1t was
supposed that the flour was in
fault, but an investigation CT the clos
ct soon proved that this was not the
case. Tie shelf on which the bread
was kept was found to be nearly cover.
ed with mould, and this had impaired
the disagreaable taste to the bread.
The shelf was cleansed and the closet
door, iustead Of being closed, was al
lowed to stand open all the time. BY
these means the trouble was speedily
removed.
The best place to keep bread is on al
open shelf, either in a room or in q
well-ventilated pantry. 1t is better,
instead cf putting it in anything, to
lay it directly upon the shelf and Gov.
er it with towel. The bread should
not be packed closely but spread out
us much as possible.

The Perfection Of POIitcness.

In company in which found my
self lately, says writer iii the New
York star, the conversation tnrncd up
on politpncss, which some one well de-
fined us "timely thoughtfulncss, with
human sympathy behind it," One
member of the party told of the most
thorough bit of true politeness he ever
saw.
"Some time ago." said he, IA friend
of mine gave little dinner, to which
a young friend, his wife, and their lit
tie child were invited. The child on y
tllrea years old was d very prcIo-
cious, 6ashful, and terribly sensitive
little one. During the dinner she up
SET glass of water upon the table
cloth, and hastily noticed the looks in
her direction. Her lips quivcred and
her eyes filled with tears.
"At that In0ment !mY friend WHO
gave the dinner knocked over his own
glass with crash that drew every eye
i'm his direction. He laughed over
the matter, said it made no difference,
etl., and completely sucreeded i'll
withdrawing at tenti2n $rCm tue chilu,
who soon smiled again.

perfection of politeness, ,"-EX'

A Touching Incident.

The following is from the "Editor's
Drawer" of Hd1pcr's, for February,
1884:
This incident, told by humane rail
road conductor on one of the roads
leading out of the city Of Baltimore, is
too good not to find place in the
Drawer" The entire story is too
long for our crowded space. 1t may
suffice to premise, briefly, that the
conductor had been very kind to the
family of poor Irish laborer, (who
had lived on the road but who was ac-
cidentally run over by the train some
months before), carrying them little
things, taking the widow TO distant
Catholic church FIRE, OF charge on Sun
days, etc. >,
"That was during the summer"
said the conductor. "One night the
next winter it was very cold and the
mountains were covered with snow.
We were running to make time,
when, on turning q curve, the engl-
neer saw waving light Oh the track,
and we soon heard some one ahead
shouting. I was then out on the plat
form. The engineer Stacked up and
stopped the engine, and We. got out
and went ahead in the dark to see
what was tie matter.
"There it was ! A large landslide
had fallen across the track near the
shanty of that old Irish woman. She
had built a fire and waited and watch.
ed for the train, for the curves were 80
sharp that we might have been plump
upon the slide before we could see it.
$50 when we ran up, there was the
old woman, with her calico cap, swing
ing chunk of fire like q revolving
lighthouse and there were the little
Irish boys carrying brush, like SO
many little beavers. She had watch
ed all that night in the cold, and, but
for her, in another minute we should
have run into pile of dirt and rocks
as big as Barnunl's Hotel. I should
certainly have been killed, for was
standing on the platform. What
would have become of the passengers
and train? You can guess as well as |
can.
"The passengers made up about
eighty dollars for the old woman the
company afterwards gave her q shan.
ty, rent free the brakemen and engi-
neers bought her cow, and she made
out very well. But when l handed
the money to her that night she said :
Gentlemen and ladies, I am thankful
to ees for what ye may give me, but
what I did was mostly on account of
him there. He was kind and thought
full to the poor and the afflicted, and
I'd ha' watched till I froze before har-
ran, should have come to him if /
could have helped it, 1t made me
choke right up"
We don't know when we have ell
countered q more striking illustration
than this of the self-rewarding "luXu-
ry of doing good" equally applicable,
in the present instance, to the doer
and the recipient.

LOOK AT 1T THIS WAY.-No one
Of US can stand or fall all by himself:
If we do we'll, others are stimulated
and helped by our well-doing. # We
do poorly, others are disheartened and
harmed by our ill-doing. We have
no, even the privilege Of making a
wreck of ourselves without wrecking
those who are linked with us in the
train that gpeeds along our track OF
duty. Nor is it possible for US to re-
main firmly on that track without giy-
ing steadiness to other portions of the
train. If we were willing to take the
consequences of life failure, SO far as
we are concerned, we ought to hold
hack FROM ruin for the sake of those
whom our foil would damage or de-
stroy. If, however, we will do ous
best, we are sure to be of greater adj
vantage thereby to Others than we are
to ourselves. What an incentive this
should be to us in the line of well-do-
ing.
