The simplest rules to be observed
are the following: First-When a
color Is selected which Is favorable to
the complexion, 1t Is advisable tn as
sociate with 1t tints. which will har-
monize by analogy, because the adOp-
tion of contrasting colors would d.
minish its favorable effect. Second
When a color is employed In dress
which Is injurious to the complexion,
contrasting colOrs must I've associated
with IL, as they have the power to
neutralize its Objectionable influence.
We will take an example illustrative
Of the first rule. Green suits the
blonde, and, when worn by her, It's
associated colors should be tones OF
itself (slightly lighter or darker,
which will rather enhance than 70.
duce its effect. As an example Of the
second rule, we may take violet,
which, although unsuitable to bru-
nettes, may be rendered agreeable by
having tones Of yellow or orange
grouped with 1t. COlOrs Of similar
power which contrast with each 9th
er mutually intensity each others
brilliancy, as blue and orange, scarlet
and green. When dark and very
light colOrs are associated, they do
not intensity each other in the same
manner; the dark color Is made to
appear deeper and the light lighter,
as dark-blue and straw color, or any
dark color and the light tints of the
complexion. In. dress 1t
is Objectionable to associate together
different hues of one color; for in
stance, yellow green and blue green,
or orange brown and purple brown.
Care must therefore be taken In Sc
lecting different tones of color to
see that they belong to the esame scale.
There Is another fact we wish to bring
before our readers ere we close our
remarks on the harmony Of colOrs,
namely, that tints which accord by
daylight may appear unharmonious
by artificial light, and Uice versa !;
thus, purple and orange harmonize
by day, but are disagreeable by gas
light; and white and yellow, which
are unsatisfactory by daylight, are
suitable for evening dress. There are
many colors which lose much Of their
brilliancy and hue by gas-light, and
are therefore unserviceable for even
ing costume; of this class we may
enumerate all the shades of purple
and lilac, and dark blues and greens.
Others gain brilliancy i'm artificial
light, as orange scarlet, crimson, and
the light browns and greens. 1t Is
advisable thatall these circumstances
should be considered In the selection
of colors for morning and evening
costumes.-Audsiey's Color IN Dress

In previous number of the Herald ref
erence was made to the ravages being in
tlicted on the cabbage crop on Long Island
by singular species OF insects and the in
ability OF the farmers TO destroy ii. So
extensive were the ravages that hum
dreds of acres arc reported as worth
less, and yet the destruction continues.
The existence of this insect is not confined
exclusively to the fields of Long Island,
but is reported as being exceedingly preva-
lent in other portions of this State, New
Jersey and Canada. In some cases the
plants have been eaten entirely bare, SO
that the stalks were pulled up to make
way tor Il second crop. The worm is
hatched from the egg of a yellowish but
tertly deposited in the heart Of the plant,
so that the young can feed upon the tender


leaves. The body OF the worm is heavy
gray, and it attains its full size in from
three to four weeks, when it spins web
and fastens itself TO the under portion of
the leaf where ii remains for upwards of
week and then comes forth butterfly
of the description above given They fly
lazily and cannot endure high winds,
which accounts ior The fact that sheltered
fields are more numerously DESTROYED


The editor OF the Jamaica Standard, AN
extensive and praetical farmer, forwarded
a species OF the insect TO the New York
State Agricultural Society, and DR.. Fitch,
an eminent entomologist, is preparing
report upon the pest. He is of the opinion
that the cultivation of cabbage win have
to be abandoned for a time. and the doctor
does not promise the recommendation OF
positive remedy. Mr.. O'Domell has been
experimenting on his farm and is OF the
opinion that he has discovered certain re-
lief in the shape of harmless powder.
lie took an ordinary pepper box, and when
the dew was falling shook the powder on
the plants, and the following morning not

terminated the insect from large fields,
and the plants already show signs of new
life. He also experiments on cauliflower
with equal success. The cabbages are
tough and unwholesome looking. and the
yield and quality will be greatly inferior

DIR. HALL says "picking the ears" is a
most mischievous practice in attempting
to do this with hard substanc s, an un-
lucky motion has many time pierced the
drum; nothing sharper nor harder than
the end of the little finger, with the nail
pared, ought ever to be introduced into
the ear, unless by physician,


Persons are often seen endeavoring to
remove the "wax" of the ear with the
head of pin; this ought never to be
done; first, because it not only endangers
the rupture of the ear by being pushed to
far in, but if not so far, it may CRATE
against the drum, excite Inflammation and
an ulcer which will finally eat all the parts
away, especially of scrofulous constitu'
tion; second, hard substances have often
slipped in and caused the necessity of
painful operations to fish or cut out; third,
the wax is manufactured by nature to
guard the entrance from dust, insects,
and unmodified cold air, and when 1t has
subserved its purpose it becomes dry,
scaly, light, and in this condition is easily
pushed outside by new formation OF wax
within.


Occasionally wax may harden and may
interfere with the hearing; but when
this is the case, it is the part of wisdom
To consult physician and let him decide
what is the remedy; if one cannot b'
had, the only safe plan is to let fall int
the ear three or four drops of tepid water
night and morning; the saliva is bette
still, for it is softer and more penetrating
but glycerine is far preferable to either
it is one of the blandest fluids in Nature
and very rapidly penetrates the hardene'
wax, cools the parts, and restores them Il
healthful condition. If in week ther
is not decided improvement in the heal
ing, medical advice ought to be had a

the manuscript to his printing office, put it
into type, send him proof sheet, and
strike off printed slips for the Governors
use in the evening. The Governor acceded
to the proposition. and the newspaper man
left with the manuscript, and that was the
last the Governor saw or heard of him or
the manuscript. The consequence Was that
at the meeting at Farwell Hall, last evening,
the Governor was deprived of the use of his
written sketch Of General Thomas life and
services, and was obliged to deliver the
