NEW HAIR ORNMFNTS.

Some of the new Partisan novelties
In tair mounts are very beautirul-off
the heal at least. A bunch of luscious
scarlet cherries is attached to gold
pin that is to be thrust through the
knot at the back of the head, letting
the cherries droop slightly just above
and behind the ear. Fruit in the hair,
however. under any guise of enamel
and metal, is not to be commended.
Its incongruity is obvious. We have
accepted it on our bonnets, where it's
use is less distasteful than the plumage
ofmurdered birds, but in the couture
the association is not acceptable.
French women regard their hair orna-
ments with great attention and take
as much care to suitably complete the
coitfure toilet as that of the corsage.
Steel, jet, gilt aud silver ornaments are
especially suited to dark hair. Fair
haired women should wear amber and
clear tortoise she'll. For evening wear,
Jeweled ornaments are properly much
worn. Except against beautiful
neck, there is no part of woman's
toilet where gems may be so well dis
played as in the hair.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

FASHION NOTES.

Waists of lowered silk vie in favor
with those of silk appliqued with lace.
Veloutine or English velvet is used
a great deal for blouses, and it comes
in ribbed effects that are lovely.
Some of the prettiest vests are made
with little ribbons or ribbon embroid-
cry introduced among the laces.
Beaded velvet and printed velvet
are high in favor. Military looking
cuffs, a la Trilby, are often seen upon
walking jackets, with big buttons and
frogs,
The ideal of the skirt of the short
jacket is that it should stand straight
out four or five inches from the figure,
and in tAls it is materially aided, in
extreme Instances, by padded hips.
The long shoulder seam is working
another onslaught on the citadel of
fashion, and may yet win an unques-
toned victory. 1t goes with the queer,
bunchy sleeves in the midale of the
upper arm.
For morning and afternoon shop
ping, driving or coaching nothing can
be III better form than black broad
cloth coat and skirt, with waist of
light apple green taffeta, lining of the
same in jacket and skirt and green
tatfeta patticoat to match.

A Contrast in Children.

In contemplating the condition aud
prospects OF the children of our tene.
ments we are struck by the contrasted
fortune of those OF some of our Ameri-
can Indian tribes, which our Govern
ment has favored and fosterel by its
legislation. The Indians, as earlier
residents on our soil than ourselves,
have been kindly treated of late years
by the awakened conscience of the
white man.
The Osages, for instance, a remnant
of once powerful tribe, west of The
Mississippi, have fund, held in trust
for their benefit by the United States
Government, equal to $4,000 for each
member, male and female, adult, child
and infant, which gives, at five per
cent. interest, three hundred dollars
year for the support of each individual.
They number 1900 souls. Besides this,
they have their reservation, II strip of
land sixty miles in length, and the
same in breadth. What fortune
such an income and property would
be to an equal number of our east side
workers and their families!
If education in schools and ease in
circumstances can make these red men
fit for self government, the Indian
Territory in which they live will doubt
less be some day admitted as State
into the Union. Many of them are
quite civilized, but the taint of abor-
iginal barbarism is still strong among
the mass. The liberality of our Fed
eral Government has exerted itself III
the end of the present century to re-
verse the cruel and un-Christian con-
duct of the white immigrants, who
seized their lands, shot down their
people and refused to acknowledge
them rs human beings. What can be
done to atone for such early wrongs
the present generation of Americans
has done, and many of the little chill
dren are richer than the mass of our
own.-New York News.

A Flood of Bicycle Patents.

The bicycle is still employing the
energies of people of an inventive
turn of mind. Applications for pat
ents come In at such rate that
whereas one room in the patent office
was found sufficient for all sorts of
wheeled conveyances, 1t has been
found necessary to devote the entire
space to bicycles alone. To get a tire
that won't puncture is the great OBJ
ject now, and the patent office is flood
ed with all sorts of devices. One Of
the new invention is an armorplated
tire, in which are succession of little
plates, like the scales on fish, all so
imbedded in the rubber us to make
practically no noise. Another design
for new tire has cotton compressed
until almost as tough as iron, and held
firmly in place between hard strips of
rubber. Still another recent device is
a self mending tire that has rubber
tape covered with cement. When the
rider punctures tire he simply
presses the outer edge against the tape
and the cement fastens it closely over
the hole in the tire. New Orleans

LONDON CLOTHES EXCHANGE.

Why does not sombodY in our big
cities open, for the comfort and con-
venience of feminine kind, q clothes
exchange, on the plan which has
proved SO successful in London that
Its proprietor has had to enlarge her
offices and salesroom? The clothes
exchange is a place where private
wardrobes are bought and sold where
n woman thrown suddenly into mourn
ing can get price for all her colored
things; if your husband or father has
failed, you can realize instantly on
your wardrobe; and where, should q
new gown not fit or prove unbecoming,
or fall out of style, or get too hope
lessly loose or tight, an instant market
for it can be found.
At the clothes exchange wraps, hats,
trunks, satchels, even false hair, are
all bought up and sold to the thrifty
women who know bargain when they
see it. Second hand clothes often go
at the lowest prices when tue gar.
ments themselves are almost fresh
from the dressmaker's hands, and
the princesses, ladies of proud title,
with often, well filled purses, patronize
the clothes exchange, buying and sell
ing or leaving orders for the attend
ants to be on the lookout for certain
bargains they are desirous of making.
Sometimes whole wardrobes never ap-
pelr in the salesrooms at all, but on
the payment of fee are shifted from
one owner to another, and women who
are going on voyages or to spend
awhile in some foreign country don't
hesitate to lay in all their supplies at
the exchange.
Such an establishment would have
been regular boon to many of us at
Christmas, when gifts were often du.
plicated even three or four times.
Nobody wants six glove hooks, or nine
mouchoir cases, or four pairs of bed
room slippers, but Santa Claus in the
rush of business frequently makes
mistakes just like that.
The only resort left frugal minded
persons was to lay the duplicate gifts
aside IN tissue paper, and during the
year at anniversaries and birthdays
cautiouously swap off the. extra bric-a-
brac and toilet articles. Or many a
heedful soul has already laid away a
sufficient supply of presents from the
Christmas and New Year OF '95 to
nearly defray the impending obliga-
tions of December, '96. Now, if there
was clothes exchange round the cor
ner, by the payment of twenty-five
cent fee button hook could be
swapped for anything equal it's value
in the stock, mouchoir case replaced
by collar box and the profits in
Christmas receipts made to equal ones
output. Chicago Record.

WISE WORDS,
Moderation is q virtue.

Moderation is q virtue.
Labor is the girdle of manliness.
The virtue of prosperity is temper
ance.
One of the sublimest things is plain
truth.
A page digested is better than vol.
ume hurriedly read.
The most respectable sinners are the
most dangerous ones.
An extreme rigor is sure to arm
everything against it.
Let self be but plant brush life
will paint the picture.
Success is always sure, when We are
willing to pay the price.
Some men are merely wrecks to show
others the way not to go.
Responsibility walks hand in hand
with capacity and power.
Every person interested in scandal
has been the subject of it.
Some men work modesty too hard,
and are generally disliked.
Dong good is the only certainly
happy action of a mans life.
AS soon rs it does no good man is
willing to take care of himself.
Labor rids us of three great evils:
irksomeness, vice and poverty.
There are such things as adorable
faults and inslpportable virtues.
As soon as you try to make profit
on your friends, you will have no
friends.
The chief drawback to self-made
men is that they can't select their
materials.
He who brings ridicule to bear
against truth finds in his hand blade
without o bilt.
So many queer things have happened
in the past that men will believe any
thing.
Every man who lives right helps to
make unwritten laws for the good of
others. The South, West.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES,

Feed regularly.
Weed out the culls.
Season all soft food with pinch OF
salt.
Feed ground bone and crushed oys-
ter shells.
Give your sheep a sunny southern
exposure protected from the north and
northwest winds.
Who can find q winter sitter Her
price is above roubles. She considereth
a nest and layeth in it; she ariseth
early and gathereth the grub, and when
she has finished her laying she sitteth
on the eggs, and hatcheth brood.
And the breeders of exhibition fowls
rise up and bless her.
Three meals day in winter are too
many for your fowls. Two is q
plenty, if they are of the right sort.
Agood warm mash at night, for them
to go to roost on these cold nights, is
n very good thing, and that gives them
the grain in the morning, when they
have all day before them in which to
scratch about for it among the litter.
The run of the market shows that
the big beeves are not in as active de-
mand as heretofore. Twelve hundred
Founders brought as good prices per
100 pounds as the over-fat sixteen and
eighteen hundred Founders. This in
dicates that consumers are no longer
willing to pay five cents per pound ex-
ira for fancy over choice cuts.
Charcoal is one of the most essen
tial articles of food to successful poul-
try farming. The best way to secure
this is to place an ear of corn in the
fire until it is entirely charred and
then she'll off to your fowls, You see
an eagerness developed and healthy
condition brought about. All pale
combs will become bright red, and the
busy song which precedes laying will
be heard and the average yield of eggs
greatly increased.
1t is possible to get three litters of
pigs from SOW in one year, but this
is little too hoggish. Some say it is
best to keep o SOW breeding all the
time, as 1t will check the tendency to
take on fat. 1t is our opinion that fat
"A reasonable amount of it's not
poison, even to a SOW, and does not
call for heroic doses of anti-fat. The
SOW will be better pleased in the end
with two families q year, and what
pleases the SOW ought to please the
ownere The man should not be hog.

Judge Wilson, of Cincinnati, has
rendered an opinion of much interest
to theatre-going people and proprie-
tors OF amusement houses. 1t says
speculation in theatre tickets is unlaw-
ful, and holds that reserved seat tic
kets cannot be sold for certain per-
tormance after the theatre doors are
open for that certain performance.
In other words, person buying a tic-
ket for general admission after the
doors are open for certain perform
ance is entitled to any seat in the
house not then reserved. This is in &C.
cordance with an ordinance passed in
Cincinnati in 1872, but which has
been regarded as dead letter. The
court, in setting out the intent of the
ordinance, SAID that any person who
offers reserved seats after the doors
are open comes within the meaning
OF the ordinance, even though he has
no connection with the theatre. He
must show, if charged under this pro-
vision, that the seats he purchased
we're for his own private use,
