The TaIlest of All Animals.

! There are few groups of living
large mammals whose existing members
appear never to have been surpassed in
size by their fossil relatives. Foremost
among these are the whales, which now
appear to include the largest members
of the order which have ever existed.
The SO called white. or square mouthed,
rhinoceros of South Africa seems also
to be fully equal in size to any of its
extinct ancestors, and the same is GER
tainly true of the giraffe, which may
even exceed all its predecessors in this
respect. Whether the fossil giraffes were
or were not the equals in height of the
largest individuals of the living species,
there is no question but that the latter
| is by far the tallest of all living mann
mails, and that it was only rivaled in
this respect among the extinct forms by
Its aforesaid ancestors. Moreover, if
we exclude creatures like some of the
gigantic dinosaurian reptiles of the Sec
ondary epoch, which, so to speak, gained
an unfair advantage as regards height
by sitting on their hind legs in kan
garoolike manner, and limit our COM
parison to such as walk ON all four feet
in the good old fashioned way, we shall
find that giraffes are not only the tallest
mammals, but likweise the tallest of
all animals that have ever existed

The manufacture of leather is reach
ing what must be almost the highest
perfection of the art. A new process
has recently been patented in France for
the production of leather which both
to the touch and eye has striking re-
semblance to velvet. Leathers Of this
description hitherto manufactured have
been obtained by treatment of the flesh
side of the hide or skin. The flesh side
of the skin being always coarse, the
patentees claim now to secure better
results by treating the hair side. They
scratch or rub the hair side with rub
Der of strong erosive qualities, or with
emery or glass, when working small
surfaces, and use grindstone for heav-
ier work. In this manner downy nap
is brought out which they throw and
lay in different directions, thereby
bringing out varied designs of changing
hue and appearance. The velvety sur
face produced is said to be similar to the
down of peach skin. The fiber is very
fine, soft to the touch and has all the
appearance of silk velvet shorn very
close. Shoe and Leather Gazette.

For an obstinate cough, associated with

pink silk tissue, with three rows of sill

hood was made of one square Of the tis-

around under and plated at the neck.
A loose bow of black velvet ribbon was

Of long scarf Of pale blue crepe de

was left to fall as it would in natural

graceful and becoming. l think any

could add bow of ribbon at the top,

Among the evening bonnets was an as
tonishing crown Of imitation diamonds,
with a bird with outstretched wings

close limitations of emeralds and rubies
to add to the brilliant effect. There was
nothing to it but the encircling crown,
little higher in the front than back,
and with the bird The whole bonnet
could lie easily on ones hand. The
effect by gaslight must be brilliant, to
say the least. There are other Jewel
bonnets' in garnets. in emeralds and in
pearls and gold filigree- but such are
for the very swellest social functions,
where bonnets are permitted, or at the
theater or opera. 1t would be in the
worst possible taste to wear such else
where. Among the new things that

leghorn hats and cottage bonnets. These
will be worn by but few, because they
will not be suited to every face, but the
large leghorn flats will be twisted and

Some of them have the brims woven or
braided so full that there could be no
way Of wearing them unless the surplus

No one can deny that the waved and

When winds blow high, and frost is whits,
And roads are steel. and trees are ice,
And window panes wear tracings light,
And all the world bears colds device,
Night falls, and careful mothers pray
Insweet content. though storm wind whirl.
Beneath one roof. till break of day
Sleep safe the careless boys and girls!"
All safe and under one rooftree,
All safe because the mother heart
Is near them; soft and tenderly
1t broods until the clouds depart
The time will come when birds must go
From out the parent nest away
When lonely, though no wild winds blow,
The mother heart will sadly stay.
All, mother heart, ah, mother heart,
How lonely are the hours that pass,
When sleet and hail from heaven dart,
Or when there's sunshine on the grass:
How often you wish back the night
When the storms fury seemed to fall;
How often strive to stay Times flight,
And that drear winter backward call
What matters storm? All, welcome rain
And the weird shrieking of the wind
Rather than sunshine and the pain
OF loss that saddens heart and mind.
The dumb cry for the wanderingl
Come war without, II peace within
II love beneath the rooftree sing.
What evil thing can enter in?

In bulletin from the Delaware sta
ton farmers are cautioned about their
stored grain and seed, which is liable to
be attacked by insects. The first indica-
ton of insect attack is marked increase
Of temperature in the mass Of grain. as
though it had become damp from some
cause and fermentation had commenced.
These grain insects breed and are most
e We during warm weather, and there
is little danger Of their injuring grain or
seeds during the winter, except those
stored in heated rooms. All four forms
of insect hfe-the egg, the larva, the pu-
pa and the adult insect-are destroyed
when subjected to the fumes of bisul-
phide of carbon. The bin or the gran
airy should be made practically airtight,
or at least there should be no drafts Of
air when the bisulphide of carbon is ap-
piled. This volatile chemical evaporates
rapidly, and the fumes, being heavier
than air, will sink through the grain, SO
that it is not necessary to place the liquid
beneath the grain, though it is better to
spread the grain in as thin alayer as pos
sible, sFf
The bisulphide of carbon is highly in
fammable, and no lights or fire of any
kind should be allowed in OF near the
buildings in which it is used for at least
q day after its use and not before all
smell Of the substance has disappeared.
The expense for the chemical will be
about one-half cent per bushel of grain
treated, at the rate Of one-half to one
ounce of bisulphide Of carbon to each
bushe1 Of the infested grain.

noticed an elderly lady sitting directly
opposite me in the car. She was well
dressed, with that extreme care that
some elderly ladies as well as others
should show Her gown was Of fine
black cloth trimmed with four miIli-
ner's folds of black satin. Her wrap
was military sealskin, with collar and
facings of moire astrakhan. Her gloves
were perfect and fitted loosely, as all
best dressed women wear gloves now.
Her bonnet was mite of q string Of
cherry velvet and jet ornaments, with
black strings. This bonnet sat easily on
fluff of snow white hair. All the
jewelry she had was a watch. Every
thing was SO trim and we'll put on, if
one may use such an expression, that it
was comfortable to just sit and look at
her. Then two friends also got on the
car, and after few friendly greetings
on their part I began to notice their cos
tunes. They we're quite as carefully
dressed as their friend. One had a
rough black cheviot gown with two fiat
rows of hercules braid, and long cape
with rows of the same kind of braid at
equal distances clear to the yoke. The
cape was of thick camel's hair and was
all. black. Her gloves were gray, and
she had two twisted gold bracelets,
which, however, did not show unless
she lifted her arms. Her bonnet was of
velvet and jet, all black, but on the left
side where the string was fastened to the
bonnet were three velvet pansies, perfect
as the natural flowers. The third one
had a black silk warp henriette, with
three very narrow lines of jet passemen-
terie at about three inches from the bot
tom. The waist could not see, as she
wore three-quarter melton coat, with
fancy frogs fastening the front. There
was small tie Of rich Spanish lace
around her neck. Her gloves were dark
maroon. Her close bonnet was of black
