WOMAN'S WORLD. !;
MOURNING ATTIRE.
What is Modish IN Suits of Ceremonial
Black.

Black.
One of tho noticeable signs OF the
times to an adult observer is the short
ening of the period in which womep
adhere to the wearing of mourning
garments. There is an appreciable
diminution. of the time during which
ceremonial Grape is worn. In many in
stancesit is not worn at all, plain black,
or what is known as black silk mourn
ing, being substituted. The Grape
veil in which the ladies' of bereaved
family wer1 once expected to be
swathed. is often discarded in favor of
veil OF crepe lisse, mousseline de
sole, or very sheer nuns yelling.
Oculistp tell terrible tales of the dam
age done to the sight by wearin g crepe
over the eyes; consequently many
women use the mourning veil as a
head dress, not as veil. They wear
it pinned back from the face and dang
ling from the back of the bonnet, la
Empress Frederick.
Thus arranged the veil is becoming,
harmless, and can even be made to
look coquettish. One years seclusion
from social amusements is all that is
demanded by etiquette from the
mourning widow. This period is often
shortened by several months.
In the same way the mourning for
parents is now only worn for twelve
months. After the first six months
this is much lightened, and violet or
white is introduced in the costume.
1t is not considered in good taste to
dress little girls in mourning. The
wearing of black garments is depress-
ing to children aud tends to make them
morbid. :
Black is worn from three to six
months on the death. of sisters or
brothers, the prolongation OF the period
to one year being a matter of prefer
ence.
Individual sentiment has much to do
in prescribing the depth of mourning
and the period for which it is worn !;
also in determining when the time
shall come when social engagements
may be accepted. Az authority on
such matters AYERS that mourning for
first cousin varies from one month
to six weeks, but this ispurely COM
plimentary matter.
Members of the Society of Friends
do not assume black garments as
mourning unless they are inclined to
be worldly people" They even con-
slider them to be gay. Such is the
point of view from which consistent
Quaker regards ceremonial mourning.
Indeed, simple dress of brown or
black. and absence from public places
of amusement, often mean more sin
cere mourning for relatives than is
betokened by wearing a heavy veil
or garments bedecked with fashion
able Grape.
Good sense and good taste is the
only sure guide in such matters. There
is no hard and fast rule on the sub
ject. In this matter every woman
should be law unto herself.

Among the mostremarkable glimpses
into hidden corners of nature that re-
cent scientific advance has afforded
are the frequent discoveries of micro
organisms in unexpected. places, where
they produce phenomena heretofore
supposed to arise from other causes.
For instance, DIR. A. Petersen of Up
sala, Sweden, has ascertained that in
preparations of meat and fish con-
tanning, for purposes of preservation,
salt to the amount. of fifteen per cent.
micro-organisms grow luxriantly, and
he concludes that the favors and
odors that are peculiar to various salt
conserves are due to the micro organ
isms with which they are crowded.

Everybody who loves to watch the

ticed, when the crescent of the new
moon appears in the west, the pheno-
menon called "the old moon in the
young ones arms" Partly embraced
by the horns Of the crescent is seen
the whole round orb of the moon,
glimmering with pale, ashy light.
The cause of the appearance is that
the earth-light upon that part of the
moon not reached by the sunshine is
sufficiently brilliant to render it family
visible to our eyes. Lately successful
attempts have been made, particularly
in France, to photograph this pheno.
menon, and the pictures thus produced
are very interesting.
Morris Gibbs describes the very
curious lowering, or dancing, habit of
a species of two winged flies, which
assemble in groups of from twenty to
100 or more, in some spot sheltered
from the wind, and indulge in fam
tastic dance for hours at time. The
motions consist of alternate rising and
falling in periods of few seconds,
and over distance varying from one
to four feet. The insects seem to be-
come interested in their sport, if sport
it is; that they cannot be driven away
from one another, but Immediately
reform their companies when dis
turbed. Many species of insects have
the habit of lowering in the air, some
in parties only and some singly.
The gardens in Hamburg have with,
in the last ten years been decorated
with white-leaf naples, and a writer in
the Zoologist says that since the intro.
duction of these shrubs the common
white butterfly has chosen them for
its settling places. Concealed in the
white leaves, the. butterfly is safe from
enemies. An anecdote, more sugges-
tive of insect reasoning, is told of
spider by James Weir. 1t spun its
web in sawmill in place where the
passing of lumber frequently broke the
long stay threads that held the web.
The situation was too favorable for
flies to be aban doned, and finally the
spider got around the difficulty by dis
carding the use of stays aud substitut
ing fort them, to keep the web
