Fashion Notes.

Velvet ribbon in shoulder-knots. choux
points and rows is used with great prodi-
gality.
sashes of chiffon and crepe de chine, in
light, dainty coloTs, are a pretty feature of
the summer gowns.
Jewelled embroidery is at the zenith of
ito popularity, which fact predicts its down
fall in the near future.
Toques all in one color, trimmed to give
a sideway tilt-in effect, are the latest note

with cornfoWer blue hats trimmed with
feathers in two shades of blue, blue chiffon
and green roses.
Many dancing toilets OF transparent textile
have the entire front and sides formed Of
le~ngthwise rows of ribbon, giving a striped
effect to the material.
Gray is decidedly the most fashionable
color among the wool summer gowns, and
the popular tint is very pale, so that any be-
coming color may be used in combination.
Pure snow-whIte is in fashion again. and
nothing can be much prettier than the
colored straw hats trimmed with white
chiffon, white ostrich feathers, or dead-whit
wings.
Tailor made costumes have a much shorter
coat than thcoe worn last year. and are
more closely fitted 10 the figure, so It is
an easy matter to bring a last seasons

Orange Tree Dieback.

In no other important orange

that peculiar disease, the dieback
Probably no other Orange-grOwin9
country was for so many ages
covered by the ocean. The sea seems
to have deposited in some OF the
Florida soil various substances chat
are prejudicial to the orange tree;
among which are iron clog iron OF
ferruginous clays), salt, and various
earth acids. The chemists do not tell
us of the presence of salt in the Flor
ida soil. but how else can one account
for the fact that cattle, even sixty
miles from the coast, do not consume
a twentieth part as much salt as they
do in the mountains Or in the MiSsi.,-
sippi Valley? We know that either
iron or salt will poison an orange
tree. and in excess will kill it; so,
also, will certain earth acids. Where
dieback is not produced by artificial
conditions created by man, it is gen
orally, perhaps always, due to the
presence of one or more of the dele
FERROUS substances mentioned.
That the poison in the soil which is
one cause of dieback can be worn out
i'm time OF cultivated out is fact
within the personal knowledge of
the writer. In grove that was I'M

small spots of sand pack or dead
SOIL" where no orange tree would
grow more than two OF three years
before it would show this disease. At
ter that the greater part of the new
growth would die back every sum
mer. Some trees would in time have
trunks with heads only seven or
eight feet high.
Several remedies were tried. Some
of the trees were taken up, holes
were dug under them large enough
to contain several wagon-loads Of
wholesome soil, and the trees were
reset Around others half the soil
was removed to a depth of a foot in
a radius of six or eight feet, and
muck was spaded in to replace it.
Others were treated with copiOus APP
plications of hardwood ashes sprink-
led on the surface; others with sui
phate of potash. Others had large
heaps of grass, weeds, and briers pill
ed around them every year, and left
to rot down, potash being sprinkled
into the piles occasionally.
That either of these remedies is a
specific for dieback cannot be posi-
lively affirmed; but at any rate-un-
der the combined and persistent use
of all of them the dieback was prac-
tically vanquished. From some of the
spots it disappeared entirely, and the
trees were healthy and well covered
with oranges. I'm other places it still
fingered but showed decided diminu-
ton. Taken as a whole, it was d
clear case of wearing the poison out
by persistent attrition, and it should
be encouraging to growers who are
troubled by the disease.-Florida

The COlumbians Fight without Reach
ing any CoDclusion-SOme Peculiar
Ruling.
Last night there was meeting of
the Columbian Literary society to
consider some action which was tax
en- by few members on last Friday
night. The members of a faction
acting as the society had held a
meeting and had thrown out three
men who had been elected as con-
testants and had filled their places
with members of their faction. This
action had aroused considerable feel
ing and a meeting was called Mon
day night to consider the action.
Nearly every member was present
and six more were sworn in by one
faction to make up their required
number. This was done while there
were a number of members ON the
floor protesting against the proceed
ings and appealing from the presi-
dents decisions. That official was
quite calm. He eoolly informed the
society that he knew a majority of
them did not wish to act in a Ger
tain way but that they were wrong
and that he did not propose to let
them rule when they were wrong.
Several members appealed from this
remarkable decision and were fined
for their audacity.
After long wrangle the following
resolution was introduced by Mr..
Nelson: Resolved, By the Column
bian Literary Society, That the ac-
ton of a part of this society on last
Friday evening purporting to be the
action of this society is here by de-
clared null and void.'
The debate on the resolution con-
timed with the usual parliamentary
Interruptions for nearly two hours
when the lights went out and the So
clety was forced to adjourn without
accomplishing any thing. However
the minutes of the meeting at which
the changes in the contestants were
made were laid on the table and it
is contended that that action effect
ually disposed of the substitutes.
What further action will be taken is
problematical and has not vet de-
veloped.
