Examination being completed, the body

a solution of bichloride of mercury in alco-

was applied. Next the head was reattach-

were fastened together with copper wires.

TO be talked to, and though she can respond
only by purring and rubbing herself against
you. her eloquent eyes and her gentle move

feels neglected. The loneliness of a cat left

her bed In a comfortable shed was soft and
sheltered. Nevertheless. when the people of
the house were again at home, the cat could
not bear them out of her sight. She trOtted
up stairs and down, she stretched herself
before the door of the maid who was kind
est to her, and persisted in spending her
nights there; and if she saw the least sign
that people were going out her distress was
frantic. The poor thing had suffered agon-
les of loneliness, and weeks elapsed before
she was treasured, and willing to remain by
herself in any room.

FROM the domestic Monthly.
There was a time when the propriety and
harmon iousness of juxtaposition of color
was considered and when to use in associa-
ton tirts which did not either blend well
or contrast well was thought to be such an
outrage upon good taste that the wearer of
these incongruous tints was at once con-
demned and spoken of as not knowing how
to dr ess well. That time is past.
The explanation of much which is found
in fashion is quite too often the mere rage
for novelty. This Is the state of things
just Tow as regards color.
1t needs only observation to convince the
student of styles of the truth of the above
assertions. gown of crude, farlng amber
Is seen with revers i'm scarlet satin. A gown
of violet green has revers in a red not
deep but light.
The shades of violet having a red tint
are associated with light blue A crude
blue, verging on cobalt. is placed with
canary yellow.
Nothing can be more disastrous than such
an association OF tints. but We pause TO say
that certain amount of good sense is
displayed when they are thus used mas
much as they may be found in the use
with them, of lace copiously displayed and
brought up between the face and the fabric

Were it not for this Arrangement of soft

long ago have uttered one general Shrek of
protestation, but the love of variety ana

ried the day and color simply reyels
Nothing can add more to the cheerful
ness of life than color rnless it be beauty

find 1t In all the European cities and prov
inces and its evidences are simply aston

seem. frequently, TO be inspired by the very
innate instinct of color and whose WORK

But the use of color as now seen and Dis.
played purely and simply with a view to
variety is often shocking. The avoidance of
strangeness is the keynote of taste as re-
CARDS hues whatev n may be the marotn al
lowed as to shape. Harmony of color re-
quires study, but it is worth the trouble OF
study to comprehend it.
