FRILLS OF FASHION.

Mauve and red form one of the fash
ionable combinations of color.
Pretty neckties to wear with pique
gowns are made of white glace silk,
trimmed with plaid or spotted silk.
Cherries mixed with their own bios
SONS decorate red straw hats, and
to perfect the scheme OF color scarf
of red silk spotted with white is effec-
tive.
A becoming feature of fashion is the
belt like the material for the gown, or
of chiffon of the same solor rather
than of ribbon in contrast.-New York
Sun.
The hat which turns back from Che
face is close rival to the other ex-
treme which tilts down over the eyes,
and is charmingly becoming to many
faces.
Very pretty waists classed with shirt
waists are made of linen batiste with
bands of lace insertion between groups
OF tucks down the front and back
where the waist fastens. The collar
Is simply a transparent band OF lace,
with cords long enough to tie in a
bow.
Earrings are threatened again, and
the special design which may prove ir-
resistible Is called "ear florets." They
are a little flower scroll set with dia-
monds shaped to accentuate the curvdi
of the lobe of the ear, and fastened in
some mysterious way which is not
visible.
Bangles Of oxidized silver, ornament
ed with some appropriate quotation
from Shakespeare, in old English let
tiers are one of the novelties in jevelry.
But If you really want supply OF wis
dom beyond your years. just wear q
gold bangle with a Buddha set In dia-
monds, or, better STILL frog set IN
Jewels, which will bring you good
health and much happiness.

The receivers OF the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad have turned their atten-
ton to the Improvement of the grades
on the third division, from Cumber-
land to Grafton, or rather that portion
which lies between Altamont, the top
OF the seventeen-mile grade, and Ter
ia Alta, where the Cranberry grade be-
gins to descend. The line passes
through Deer Park and Oakland and
crosses what is known as the "Glades"
OF the Allegheny Mountains. The
grades are short and choppy, some OF
them being so TO So feet to the mile.
One OF the first pieces of work to be
done is now in progress at No. 5S Cut,
where the grade is being reduced from
81 feet to 42lA feet per mile, with equa-
lions for curvature. 1t is expected
that the cutting down of this grade
will enable the receivers 10 increase
the train load from 1000 tons to 1890
tons on east-bound trains. One mile
OF the roadway will lie lowered and it
is expected that the work will be COM
pleted by the middle of October.

An Island of Flowers.

The Scilly Islands may very justly be
termed flower Islands, for a large part
of their surface is given up to the cul-
tivation of flowers, and the great ma
jority of the people spend their lives in
attending to the plants, from which all
the wealth of the islands is drawn. In
st. Mary's alone nearly quarter of the
cultivated area of the island is devoted
to flowers. In the month of February
322 tons of flowers were exported from
this one island. About 200 boxes go
to the ton, and as each box contains
from three to twelve spikes of flowers,
it is easy to see that the number of
flowers sent out from the island was
not trifing.

WHAT BECOMES OF PINS.
An Old Gentleman Has Discovered That
in Time They Vanish Into the Air.

An Old Gentleman Has Discovered That
in Time They Vanish Into the Air.
An old gentleman has been making a
series of interesting experiments with
view to finding solution to the ques-
ton often asked: what becomes OF
the countless myriads of pins, &C., that
are annually lost p
AS he expected, he finds that it is the
disintegrating effects of the air which
resolve even these intractable little in
struments into their elements. He put
some hundreds of brass and steel pins,
needles, hair pins, &c., in quiet cor
ner of his garden, where they would be
subject to all the destructive agencies
Of dampness, earth, wind, &C., although
secure from the predatory hands and
disturbing feet of inquisitive intruders.
The results are curious. Ordinary
hair pins We're the first (taking 154
days, on an ayerage) to oxidize into
brownish MYSTERIOUS oxide-which
was scattered by the wind as it was
formed, and not trace of single one
could be detected at the end of seven
months. Common bright pins took as
long as eighteen months before their
combustion was complete, but brass
ones had been entirely turned into
green verdigris long before that.
At the end of fifteen months an ordi-
nary penholder had had its nib entire
ly rusted away, but the wooden stick
was still almost unaltered. 1t is prob
ably, says Tits-Bits, that the paint on
it had somewhat of a preservative eff
feet. Some used waxed vestas were
almost gone, with the exception of the
cotton wick, in less than eighty days
from the time they were deposited, but
the sulphur heads of some unlit ones
were as perfect as ever.
Polished steel needles of a small size
lasted very long time lover two years

PRAcTIcAI SUGGESTIONS.


It is almost impossible to undo the
evil we have done
Punishment has several objects. One
of them is that it should be school for
training men. It opens the eyes TO see
she horrible nature of sin, and, the
greatness of the need for repentance.
Sin is a leaven, disease that is catch
Ing. No one can sin to himself alone.
The early manhood Of Manasseh IL
illustrates that, when the children of
the good become vicious. they do be-
come worse than the average of wicked
men. His conscience suffers more fatal
violence.
The fall of Manasseh was an excep-
ton to the general law respecting the
history of children Of a cody parent
age. 1t Is proyerb, almost, that the
sons Of bishops and clergymen and
deacons and elders are apt to be wicked.
The restraints of religious home are
sometimes criticised as tending by re-
action to the extremes of vice. This as
xertion is not true historically. Statis-
tics disproye it.

some time in the Islands, in the inter

horseback ride around Oahu. He is
enthusiastic over the beauties and
interest such a trip presents. He
thinks it would be a trip all tourists
would take if its attractive features
were more widely known and there
were better facilities in the way of a
stage line and hotels. In point of see
nery he thinks it eXcels many more
widely known and more widely writ
ten about localities. On a part of the
trip he met evidences of the late
freshets. Among other experiences
in this connection he had to swim his
horse across six different streams, the
bridges having all been swept away.
