Very Fine Writing.

A machine has been invented, which
is composed of exquisitely graduated
wheels, running tiny diamond point
at the end of an almost equally tiny
arm, whereby one is able to write
upon glass the whole of the Lords
prayer within space which measured
the two hundred and ninety-fourth
part of an inch in length by the four
hundred and fortieth part of an inch
in breadth or about the measurement
Of the dot over the letter "I'' in COM
mon print. With this machine any
one who understood operating it could
write the whole 1866, 4S0 letters of the
Bible eight times over the space of an
inch--a square inch. A specimen of
this marvellous microscopic writing
was enlarged by photography, and
every letter and point was perfect and
could be read with ease.-Philadelphia

Fashion Notes.

Ribbon corsets deserve their popu.
larity.
Though the Eton and bolero styles
are not so much in evidence as in the
spring, they are to be fashionable
through the fall.
A fancy green boucle jacket is made
with a ripple skirt set on across the
sides and back and straight box
front Black braid and fancy buttons
serve as trimming.
Very nobby, indeed, is the gray
cashmere gown with black velvet
bolero. The skirt, four and one-half
yards wide, has four tucks around the
hips Otherwise it is perfectly plain.
A marked tendency toward the use
of braid trimming is being indicated
in the models of both capes and
jackets. Many novel and attractive
effects are being produced by such
trimming.
The favorite materials for the MAX
ing cf outing gowns will show mixed
suitings, light broadcloths and heavy
striped moires. Check goods will also
be much worn. Chiffon and lace are
the leading house Gown trimmings.
London coatmakers are advocating
the full-length garments fo- walking
and driving in the early fall season.
This style wrap is always accorded
some favor by Englishwomen, and is
always more or less worn in London.
Double and triple hounced skirts Of
graduated dep.h are noted among new
summer dresses for day wear. They
are made severally of foulard silk, col
ored linen, chambray, plain colore 4
French zephyr goods, batiste and
dimity. Each flounce is finished with
a hem and a cluster of narrow tucks.
Braid is very effectively used on
plain cloth as sids panel for the
skirt, laced across with cord held by
tiny buttons. The short Eton Jacket
is ornamented with soutache aud but,
ton trimming on revers, collars
epaulettes and sleeves. The blous,
bodice worn under the jacket is o.
silk.

Alcohol In Cooking.

We wonder II we are to answer for all sins
of thoughtlessness. II so, n large number
OF Christian people will find long score
against them for tempting people who are
trying to reform, or for creating an appetite
for strong drink by using alcoholic liquors
in their cooking. Wine sauces, brandy
puddings aud cider-navored mince pies
have been the stumbling block over which
mnny man. trying 20 reform, has fallen.
A young man who had been a hard drink
er, and who had been taken to his palatial
home dead drunk many n time, desired to
reform and make something of his life. He
signed the pledge and fought bravely to
keep it.
One day he said to friend, II do not
think can remain at home and keep my
pledge"
His friend asked why, and ho replied:
II can make myself go past saloons, can
remain away from the club, but must go
to the dinner table at home. and there often
I find wine sauces; and the very smell OF
them stir up my old appetite so IL seems az
II would go Wild"
The mother was told her sons trials, and
replied, as so many other women have,
ooh, it's all nonsense; q little wine or brandy
in cooking can't hurt any one; it's just an
excuse"
We know other men who have given up
strong drink who never dared taste OF
mince pie or any kind of pudding away
from home, for fear they would find some
flavor OF strong drink that would make 1t
hard fight for them to keep the pledge.
And yet women, when their attention is
called 70 these facts, will say, MEN have
no business 20 be 50 weak" and go on
cooking with the recipes themselves and
keep recommending them to their neigh
bors, forgetting what the Bible says about
making one of these little one to offend.
II some voice or pen could only arouse
these thoughtless women, and get them to
Danish wine, brandy and cider from their
pantries, It would not only be a blessing to
the men who are trying TO reform, but
would save so many others from forming
an appetite for strong drink ut their
mothers table.-Golden Censor.

A considerable number Of German towns
and villages have for some time subjected
their blbulous inhabitants to the regula-
tions Of modified prohibition law. This
not only restricts the time for the sale OF
all kinds of liquor and the hours Of public
restaurants and places of amusement, but
exercises a sort OF censorship over their
visitors. Persons who neglect their fami-
lies on account ,of drinking, or who have
been repeatedly brought before the magis-
trates as drunk and disorderly' are de-
MED the privilege OF procuring alcoholic
beverages. "drunkards' list" published
periodically, exhibits their names and oc-

Recognized From the beginning.

The illustrious scholar, Cornelius La.
Pike, commenting ON tho first case OF
drunkenness related in the Bible, records
an ancient tradition which says that when
Noah was preparing the wine he mixed with
It the blood Of lion, fox, hog and q
sheep; and the old legend goes on to tell
that ever since that time the drunkard has
always exhibited thomalignity and ferocity
Of the lion, the cunning and dupliclty OF
the fox, the sensuality and grossness OF the
hog and the dullness, the stupidity and the
sheepishness of the sheep. So, from the
beginning, drunkenness has been recog
uized as the great begetter OF crime.

money than he very well knew what
to do with. Upon this occasion, wish

thinning Fruit.

Midsummer is the best season for
thinning all the larger fruits. just
before the seed begins TO form nature
does a good deal of this thinning, and
il is perhaps as well to wait until all
the fruit that will naturally fall has
fallen. Then pick off the surplus fruit
wherever it seems to be superabun-
daut In most cases this thinning
does not decrease the amount of fruit
because it so largely increases the size
of individual specimens. It is the
best fruit that always pays best. That
always means fruit that has been judi
ciouslY thinned.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.


Sometimes we see trees that dry up
the grass under them, while in the
same neighborhood will be trees un-
der which the grass will grow greener
than where it is not thus shaded. An
orchard which has long been plowed
deep has most of its feeding roots below
those of the grass. On the other hand,
under the tree where grass has long
grown, the true feeding roots come
near the surface, and when dry time
comes the grass under it lacks mois-
ture and is very soon killed out.

Aprons in Favor.

Word comes from London that the
apron is once more in fashion. There
was time in this country when u
woman would not have thought of ap-
pearing without her apron on. Then
it was a sombre affair of black silk or
alpaca, sometimes set off by few
dainty tucks or rows of herring-bone
stitching aud a little very fine lace.
Now the very cheapest aprons are
made of the finest white linens and
muslins and batistes, and are pulled
and frilled with lace and trimmed with
ribbons until the old ladies of hun
dred years ago would never dream
that they were aprons. The finest
aprons are made of real lace, and are
well worth passing down from genera
ton to generation.
An English woman recently ordered
an apron that cost $780, II is made
of Brussels rose point in an exquisite
floral scroll design and has a border OF
roses. She didn't get it to wear when
doing up the kitchen work, but she
dons it when serving afternoon tea OF
doing dainty piece of fancy work
Some of the lace aprons have pastoral
pictures, in which figures are intro,
duced, and are very quaint looking
with their floral borders. Still others
are embellished with butterflies, birds
and blossoms.
Men like aprons, so it is pretty SAT,
to say that the fashion of wearing
them will soon take hold here Som,
of the shops are already importing
them, and the managers say they will
go like hot cakes when chatting -disl
time come round again. Nothing do
mesticates a woman in appearance lik
an apron, and very frivolous gir
can sometimes decoy very cleve
bachelor with one if she only know
how to wear it, or at least that is wha
some Of the clever bachelors say them
selves. There is great deal in know
ing how to wear an apron. The mos
costly apron ever made was worn b
the Duchess of Queensberry in th
last century. 1t was made entirely {
