In EpptnH Forest,

Mr.. p. Anderson Graham, in Long.
mans Magazine, mentions the rcgretta-
BILE fact that all but the ccmmoncst
wild flowers are disappearing from Lp-
ping forest. Not only do the urchins
pluck them, but the vendors who go
about the suburbs offering roots and
flowers for sale carry them off whole
sale. The primrose has in this way been
practically cleared out of the forest, 50
has the nee common Solomon's seal,
and the foxglove and others arc very
nearly extinct. If the anemones, blue
bells and violets still survive, it is only
owing to the fact that they grow in
such astonishing numbers hat the arm
fuls carried away make no difference.
The most obviously thriving and
multiplying quadrupeds in the forest,
MIR. Graham mentions, are the rabbit
and the squirrel. Hares occasionally
make their form in the heather or fern.
The small c%arnivora are as plentiful as
might be expected where vermin are
protected as much as game. Stoats and
weasels are the most common. So far
the rarer marten and polecat have not
been tempted back to their old haunts.
Foxes are occasionally to DO seen. Mr..
Buxton introduced n few pairs Of
badgers 10 or IL years ago, and they
have bred and ~prospercd. Rats, mice,
moles and "such small deer" have \
happy time of it in the woods.

There is a distinct style Of walk
among women of fashion today. "Wom,
en Of fashion" does not mean alone the
women Of the upper tendon, but the
wOman Of kinds, sorts and conditions
who thinks much of her apparel and
endeavors to keep it up to date. It
usually presupposes the French use of
the corset, laced snugly in at the waist
by separate lacings and let out freely
above and below. This gives perfect
freedom to the figure, and there is on
siderable of that with these women, for
they are of the well fed. well developed
classes. They cannot be said to belong
to n class, for these types of women are
to be found among tho people whore
names are household words III New York
FROM their social distinction, and also
among others who know Broadway bet
ter than Fifth avenue. But the walk is
tho anne. 1t is II swing of the hips from
the waist, n somewhat swing,
which has a certain style, but which
pu%ritanical people unused to city ways
might not think attractive or in good
taste.-New York Times.

sabbath worship is usually conduct
ed at the public church, where visitors
from the world are free to attend, 3"
writes Madeline S. Bridges of the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N. Y, in
The Ladies' Home Journal. -Four sis
tiers and four brethren stand in the cell
ter of the room and form a double quar-
tet. The Shaker dnnGs, so miscalled,
is in reality a more or les stately march,
in which all tho members join-tllo
brethren in a procession, two by two,
followed by the sistcrhood in like order.
They move III step to the hymns they
arc singing, either slowly or quickly, rs
the measure of tho time demands. The
ritual is of the simplest-testimony of
faith fervently uttered by those who
feel impelled to speak, a few earnoss
words of eXhortation from the elders,
the march and the singing of hymns.
"Something curious in regard to these
Shaker hymns is the fact that they ere
claimed to be largely inspirational-the
music and words come together as
gifts, and frequently to those who are
not musical. For instance, very often q
tap will sound on the door of n musical
sister and an unmusical sister will en-
ter with the announcement, Sister, a
song has just come to Inc. Can you take
the words and note it for me?'

Hand sewing, which could never be
said to have gone entirely out of fash,
ion, but which for a time languishod,
has been revived as Il fad of the present
day, and, consequently, opens Il field of
work to women who support themselves.
1t has been proverbially hard to earn
ones living by sewing, but the fancy
prices paid in these days for good work
has encouraged many 1 woman to take
up her needle again. Layettcs and
trousseaus show the principal examples
of this work. Tucking, hemming, feath.
erstitching, ETC., such Us our grand,
mothers knew all about, are done with
marvellous exactness and with no time
or trouble spared to get good results.
At both the Decorative Art society
and the Woman's Exchange, where
large orders are constantly given out for
fine handwork, tho orders have incrcas.
ed fourfold within the last year. A hun.
dred dollars for one small frock for q
christening robs seems a trife excessive
at first thought, but when the hundreds

price to pay.-New York Press.
