that edible fruits exert direct medi-

Chs Digestibility OF Beef and Fish vari-
ousiy Prepared

DR.. Popoff finds that beef and fish
are more rapidly peptonized in raw
than in cooked condition. He con-
;ludes, therefore, that these viands are
rendered harder to digest by cooking.
Moreover, the longer they are cooked
the more indigestible they become.
This is especially true of beef. After
having been subjected to the same
process of preparation Except smok-
lng) beef, as rule, was the more easily
1igested. Smoking renders fish more
iigestable and beef less digestible.
Fish rich in fat is easier digested
than lean flsh.-Deut. Med. Zeit.

LANspowNE IN RARE ooLoRs

The same protective pride in high
class material is exhibited by the Phil
adelphia manufacturer of Lansdowne,
VIM. F. Read, who uses a perforating
stamp in place of golden letters, on
every five yards on the selvedge of
these dainty stuffs.
These lustrous Lansdownes come in
most delicate tints of all colors, and as
we'll in rich dark shades, and while
they are very light in weight, they
are closely woven, and possess
greater drsught resisting powers than
can be found in much heavier loosely
woven textures. Most charming even
ing dresses are now fashioned in
Lansdowne, and it will prove equally
effective in day toilettes for summer
wearing.

Mother Earth, but no magic trans

more interesting events than are actu-
ally realized in the many methods
employed by which the vegetable snow
is converted into the popular cotton
dress fabrics, journe ing in its various
stages from the sunny South to perhaps
a New England or a Pennsylvania
mill, and at last landing in cultured
Boston, liberal New York, or in sedate,
modest Philadelphia, where the largest
business houses in the world are located,

SUMMER sTUFFS.

Among these light weight black dress
goods may be noticed the exquisite
Clairette, and the Crystaiette, both
with silk-warp. and fine wool filing in
lustrous black, which hue is not
changed by exposure to dust, damp
ness or salt sea air.
A new silk and wool fabric called
Carmelite varies materially from the
other stuffs, as it has a hard lustrous
clean, surface finish, that is there are
no hairs left from either silk or wool
upon its glossy face, hence it proves to
be real dust--resisting material.
Then there are numbers of other a
tractive specialties, such as the silk
warp Algerine, Diagonal, Drap de
Toulon, and Tamise, with silk and wool
mousseline and Ar1stine, all presented
on vanished boards, bearing the
Priestley trade mark, and all stamped
on every five yards of the selvedge
with the name of the manufacturers

FASHIONABLE BLACK FABRICS.

Illustrative of the extent of the pro-
duction of dress goods of the combined

collection consisting of over fifteen
hundred varieties of materials in solid

mixtures, in different weave effects, and
all bearing the distinguishing brand of
b. Priestley L Co., the celebrated Eng
lish manufacturers of high-class, beauti-
full and durable unchanging black
dress goods.
All reliable fashion authorities, for
eign and domestic unite in pronounc-
ing the most elegant mourning garb,
that made of Priestley's jet black silk
warp Henrietta, combined and trim
med with Courtauld's English Grape,
and it is well known that most stylish
costumes, for ladies who are not in
mourning, are fashioned in the mediuw
and heavy grade PrIestley fabrics for
general wearing, but it is only recent
ly that the lines of these goods have
been augmented by the introduction of
novelties, exceedingly light in weight
and beautiful in appearance, In other
words fabrics have been presented,
which are designed to take the place of
Spring and Summer silks, and other
materials of similar weight aud thick
ness.

A careful study of the oil time
legends clearly demonstrates the fact
that they were inspirational sugges-
tions of thoughtful minds, of scientific
possibilities, to be sometime developed
by those who had knowledge of exist
ing qualifications in plant or metal,
and as well possessed the ability to
utilize such valuable elementa
The childish faith in the benefcent
fairies who enabled beautiful captive
maidens to accomplish such seemingly
impossible tasks, as the spinning of
golden threads out of wisps of straw,
aids one in these later days to accept
garments of spun glass, and the gossa-
mer tissues, veritable spider web, as
diaphanous as the legendary burial
veil of the blessed Virgin, and as light
as the down of the Irish thistle.
Many pretty flower of the milk
weed has been plucked, without giving
knowledge that fine, strong threads
could be spun from its stem fibres,
and lifetime night be passed listen
ing to the ''murmuring pine 5" without
learning through their constant sigh
ing about the notwithstanding "wold
wolle," or the flannel made of the pre-
pared fibre of those slender odorous
of the singing pines of
Georgia and Germany.
In all the wonderful story of dress
there is no incident better known, or
more pathetic than the tragedy of the
innocent silk-worm which spins its own
shroud, and is wantonly murdered that
with its death gown women may be
clad in silk attire.
1t seems far less cruel that the sad
eyed camel. and the wild goats of
Thibet and Australia, should be called
upon to furnish fibres for the making
of the countless specialties known as
Cashmere Valley, real Indias, Camel's
hair goods, and superior wool stuffs.
