White muslin cut in princess shape,

IVY ABSORBS MOISTURE.

There is a current opinion that ivy has
a tendency to rot the thing to which it
clinss. This is true of a large number
of other climbing plants, but not of ivy.
for it renders the walls Of almost every
house to which it clings entirely free from
damp, extracting every particle of mois-
ture from wood, brick, or stone for it's
own sustenance. This it does by means Of
its tiny roots, which can work their way
even into the hardest stone. When the
walls are we'll covered with ivy the over
tapping leaves will d water falling
upon them from point to point until the
| ground is reached, without allowing the
| walls to receive any moisture whatever
from the beating rain. If there should be
an exceptional case of UNCOVERED wallis
showing signs of dampness, that will be
found to arise from their having been
erected on a wet and improperly Trained
| site.

fashion has set its latest seal, and it is
not particularly expensive. Like other

plain. except for the small, an-over cord

LONDON SOCIETY STARTLED.

London society is stirred to it's very
depths by the performances of a thought
reader. who is the lion of the hour. There
is no thought. not even a mental reserva-
ton, buried so deep in ones mental re-
cesses. but what this wonder pounces
upon it with an agility that is positively
uncanny, and drags it forth into the light
of publicity. The possibilities are some
thing awful. Indeed. it is related that
some Of the revelations have been as
founding beyond words. and one woman
of extreme sensibility is said to have
tainted as the workings Of her MIND We're

The new cameo pictures are most
dainty. These are made on heavy, rough
surfaces, in dark shades or deep colors.
The paper upon which the figures are i'm
pressed or embossed in has relief is large
enough to be used also as a mat, and only
a narrow edge Of molding is necessary TO
finish the picture. The transparent eff

enamel applied with a brush to the en-

z AN DSPEED.

In respect to the comparative speed of
animated beings it may be remarked that
neither size or comparative strength seem
to have much influence. The sloth is by
no means a small animal, and yet it can
only travel so PAGES in a day; a worm
crawls only five inches in so seconds; a
ladybird can fly 10000, 900 times it's own
length in less than an hour. An elk can
run a mile in seven minutes; anantelope
can run a mile in a minute: the wind
mule Of Tartary has a speed even great
err than that. and an eagle can fly 81
miles in an Hour: while a canary falcon
can even reach $50 miles in the short
space of 16 hours.

HINT FOR THE SUMMER TABLE.

Table mats, IN which to place hot
dishes. are no longer used, as the heavy
felt undercloth is intended to be suffi-
cient protection for the table; but many
housewives have found the top Of their
handsomely polished tables defaced by
the marks made by the hot dishes. If
a sheet of asbestos paper is put under
the felt cloth the table VIII not be in
jured in the least from this cause. At
teas or luncheons, when the polished ta-
BILE is used with doylies instead Of a
cloth, asbestos mats may be covered
with prettily embroidered doylies for the
hot dishes. One of these mats covered
with a DOYLE, which should be larger
h the mat, is much prettier to use
than any teapot stand that can be pur-
chased.
