The Newest Millinery.

Summer millinery as seen in the New York shops is quite beyond description by reason of its variety. There are hats of huge proportions decorated with big and brilliant flowers; there are small bonnets all a-glitter with rhinestones and spangles; there are sailor hats with extremely high box crowns and narrow brims, which are worn without any trimming at all
 Sailors with moderate crowns are trimmed about with close wreath of wild flowers, made by the blending to- gether of bunch after bunch of daisies, marigolds, primroses and violets. The wreath is so soft and thick that it almost covers the hat, only the edge of the brim and the top of the crown showing.
 The new straws come in every imag- inable color, plain, shot and plaided, but the most popular hats for midsum- mer are butter color. Loops of straw are used for trimming, and with bows of black satin ribbon and black wings, or with white ribbon and white wings, they are very stylish. Panama hats trimmed with velvet and a pheasant s
 wing are useful for the seashore.

The Conventional Riding Habit-Whip6 and Crops-The New Woman's Departure. One of the many outdoor exercises bor- rowed of late years from our English cousins is the healthful and enjoyable one of 'orseback riding. This ey orcise, as now practiced by some of our fash ionable women, is by no means confined to an orderly canter in the park or a half hours gallop along a country road. They daringly ride across fields with men in the hunt and take the ditches or fences that come in their way along with the boldest of their masculine com panions. It has come about quite nat urally, therefore, that unusual provisions have been made for tho comfort and safety of women equestrians, who with out these provisions would be at dis advantage, owing to their necessarily less secure seat in the saddle and the re- strictions of skirt. Horse breeders have produced fine specimens ill way of sad dle horses trained to Tapping riding skirt, and saddlers have made the so called "safety saddles, but it is with the tailors, after all, that we have now to do.
 There are many styles of riding habits as there are many styles of other cos tunes, but it is generally conceded that the ideal habit is the one that fits best and is most simple ill effect. Black, blue brown and gray clothes are all in style, and their popularity is indicated in the order ill which the colors arc here mentioned.
 In some habits the coat is simply B jacket with sleeves like those of man B coat. Again, there are coats, the skirts of which are set on somewhat after the fashion of frock coat. A decidedly new and stylish habit seen recently and bor- rowed from the French was made with safety skirt and Eton jacket It was in navy blue cloth. The waistcoat was in white pique, fastened with gilt but tons A white silk tie and black silk hat were worn with this habit.
 For many occasions the derby hat of color corresponding with the habit is more suitable than is a high crowned silk hat, but the latter is of course the more elegant. White gloves, with heavy black stitching, are much worn. Women with plenty of money have their riding

whitticr's Patriotic Poems.

During these years of the antislavery struggle not only w;ss Whtticr's Tepu- tation as a poet growing steadily, but the people of the north and of the west were as steadily coming over to his side. Of course we cannot exactly measure the influence of poem or song, but it may be almost irresistible. He was a wise man who was willing to let others make the laws of people if only he could write their songs. Law is but the expression of public opinion, and when tho ringing stanzas of the antislavery bards and the stirring speeches of the antislavery orators had awakened the conscience of tho free states the end of the evil was nigh. Slavery made hard fight for it's life, but it was slavery that Whittier hated, and not the southern slave owners, and there is no bitterness or rancor in the poems published in 1863 and called "In War Time' And of these ballads of the battle years the best and the best beloved is Barbara Freit- chic, which was rather tribute to the old flag than an attack upon those who were then ill arms against it.-Profess- or Brander Matthews i'll St. Nicholas.

 whips md crops made to order, and they often design these. Among New York women there is a fad this season for jeweled whips, some of which, if we may believe all the jewellers tell, cost as high as $500 and 5000, with their gem set handles. These whips not only play the part originally assigned to whips, but act as ornaments when the ride is over, hanging ill company with other whips and crops on the door of the hall or vestibulc. This is another fash ion, by the bye, borrowed of English women.
 The subject of women on horseback is not complete ill this day of the new woman without mention of the move ment ill some sections toward discard ing the sidesaddle, adopting the divided skirt and riding aStride, man fashion. The Chicago exchanges have of late not only illustrated moditications of the boomer costume for cycling, but for horseback riding. The new habit for which special claims are made resembles in its lower garment pair of exceed ingly wide trousers, though this bears the name divided skirt. The two skirts are fastened ill belt at the waist, with plaits and gathers that give it, when the wearer is standing, the appearance of a single skirt. It seems, therefore, that the new habit is not in itself so great a departure as is the already familiar bi- cycle bloomer suit. The difficult point lies not so much ill the adoption of the garment as the act it suggests-of rid ing astride. ALICE VARNUM

 It is like a case of appendicitis which required an operation some weeks ago and the surgeon had never tried it be- fore. When he had removed the inflamed appendix, on account of some typo graphical errors that he found in 1t, he began to put back the other organs, but after three or four days and an apparent healing of the wound "by first inten- tion" he found aii odd looking organ behind the lounge that had evidently been left out.

Five Miles Up to a Showdown.

There is little to suggest a snowstorm in the appearance of the aerial curls and feathers that are named by meteorologists cirrus clouds. But Dr. A. Benson during a lofty balloon voyage in Germany passed through a cirrus cloud at q height exceed ing five miles and half and found that it consisted of small but perfectly formed flakes of snow. It was little snowstorm floating high in the sky. If it had de- seconded earthward, it would have been turned into mist or rain.
 During this voyage, which was one of the most extraordinary balloon trips on record, Dr. Benson attained a height of very nearly six mikes. He would undoubt- edly have lost consciousness-as MT. Glai- sher did in his still loftier ascent many years ago-if he had not resorted to an ex- pedient which reminds one of the ingen- ious devices of some of Jules Verne's ex- traordinary heroes.
 Dr. Benson carried with him bags of oxygen and breathed this gas, mingled with air, after he had attained q height where tho atmosphere was too light for comfortable respiration. He found that above 26, GOO feet he could not dispense with the uso of oxygen from his bags.
 The temperature at tho highest point that he attained, 31, 496 feet. was about 54 degrees F. below zero. If at this time h6 had floated over the worlds loftiest noun tain, Mount Everest in tho ltinalayas. Inc would have been nearly 2,5oo feet above the highest point of that tremendous lcstE Youths Companion.

The Tip of the Hat,

And now it may not come amiss to discuss the new tip to the hat. The Eng fish taught last winter that the correct position was to wear ones hat on the back of ones head So far did the advo- cates of this reform go that the English bath bun was called into play to support the chapeau. Whether we will be Eng
 fish or French is now the question. Our Gallic sisters have decided to run coun- ter to their friends across the channel and insist upon the new tip, which is decidedly over the eyes. True, the Brit
 ish girls wear very small headgear-the Dutch bonnet, as an instance-while the French cling with wise pertinacity to those picture hats that become the ma jority of faces This hat to the Parisian mondaine is not properly placed unless it goes far over the eyes, hiding every trace of "bang;" but, then, the French woman is no longer wearing forehead curl-she is pompadouring her hair. Probably with bit o& wisdom she chose this style for the summer because she has recognized the impossibility of keep ing one's hair ill good order during the heated season.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Oncer C1,re For Toothaehe.

In Staffordshire and Shropshire, Eng land, they have a most extraordinary cure for toothache. Tho sufferer watches a mole's runway with spade and traps, and as soon as he succeeds in capturing ono of these reputed eyeless little ami mals cuts off its paw and quickly ap plies it to the aching molar. In order to make the cure sure and effective, the paw must be amputated while the mole is yet alive. Furthermore, if the aching tooth is on the right side of the jaw, a left hand mole paw must be used, and vice versa. A similar toothache super stition exists ill the Cape Verde islands and also on the Canaries. Louis Republic.

AT THE PIANO.
The High Piano StOOl-Playing Too Near
 the Edge of the Keyboard.

The High Plano Stool-Playing Too Near
 the Edge of the Keyboard.
 Whenever one sees a piano in this country, he also sees 0 high, uncom- fortable piano stool in front of it. Most of the piano stools are mounted upon a screw, causing the seat to turn around if the player reaches for high notes, and the screw is generally loose or shaky in the bargain. In the face of this fact is the one that nearly all the great con- cert piRnists have used chairs of ordt- nary height only, including such names as Liszt, Rubinstein, Von Bulow, Theo- dore Kullak, Anna Mehlig, Paderevski, D'Albert, etc. A writer in The Musical World, who calls attention to the fore going facts. says:
 If q pianist would gain light, easy use of the wrist, he or she should sit low enough to bring the elbow an inch or two below the level of the keyboard, necessitating an effort to hold the fore arm and wrist up. Such effort, doubtless difficult at the start, helps to develop the extension muscles in way to en- able the player to cultivate moro power of delicacy and expression i'll touch. The relative position of arm, wrist and hand is such that the greatest f1exibility and freedom of motion in all necessary di> rections are enhanced thereby. Such a po- sition helps one to avoid the injurious pushing effort of a heavy arm and stiff wrist, through which so many students unconsciOusly interfere with complete independence of fingers. Let person try to play a complicated finger passage standing up, and 1t is at once apparent how much the wrist and arm interfere with both the feasibility and force of touch.
 Another serious objection to the high seat at the piano is the tendency to stoop and become round shOuldcred, to say nothing of the somewhat hard work and unnatural effort of sitting in such a po- sition. In connection with this sub ject the same writer remarks upon tho fact that nearly all piano pupils are in- clined to play too near the edge of the keyboard. IL is natural to shirll from playing between black keys. Many play CTS have this habit to such an extent that they havo to stick out fingers straight i'll order to reach black keys iD running passages. Particularly do they allow the outside of the hand to fall back and down. If one would rcsolutcly set to work and practice finger and oth- CT exercises slowly, with the hands as much the other way as possible, much good could be accomplished. Ill ease of the hand heinz so faultily placed as to tip over toward the outside, such an cf- fort, ill combination with various move mCnts to loosen the wrist, including a moderate roll in the opposite direction. would do much toward building up the weaker side of tho. l,:!"d
