Jerusalem used to lmvo a fund of money wit h
which they provide l wine for thoao people
who died in crucitixion—a powerful opiate
to deaden the pain; but < hriat would no!
take it. He wanted to die sober, and so Ho
refused the wine. Hut afterward they go to
a cup of vinegar and sonk a sponge in it. and
put it on n stick of hyssop, and then pre>;s it
against the hot lips of Christ. \on say
the wine was an anaesthetic, and intended
to relieve or deaden the pain. But the vine
gar was an insult. 1 am disposed to adopt
the theory of the old English commentator,
who believed that instead of its being an
opiate o soothe, it was vinegar to insult.
Malaga and Burgundy for grand dukes and

In some lives the saccharine seems to pre
dominate. Life is sunshine on a bank of
dowers. A thousand hands to clap approval.
In December or in January, looking across
their tables, they see all their family present.
Health rubicund. Bkics flamboyant. Days
resilient. Butina great many oases there
are not so many sugars as acids.
The annoyances, and the vexations,
and the disappointments of life
overpower the successes. There is a
gravel In almost every shoe. An Arabian
legend says that there was a worm in Solo
mon’s stair. gnawing its strength away; and
there is a weak spot in every earthly support
that a man leans on. King George, of Eng
land, forgot all the grandeurs of his throne
because, one day in an interview, Beau Hum
mel 1 called him by his first name,
and addressed him ns a servant,
crying: ‘George, ring the belli”
Miss L&ngdon, honored all the world
over for her poetic genius, is so worried over
the evil reports set alloat regarding her,
that she is found dead, with an empty liottle
of prussic acid in her hand. Goldsmith said
that his life was a wretched being, and that
all that want and contempt could bring to it
had been brought, and cries out: “What,
then, is there formidable in a jail/’* Correg-
giog lino painting is hung up for a tavern
sif<n. Hogarth cannot s 11 Jiis best paintings
except through a rattle. Andrew Delsart
makes the gnat frescos in the Church of the
Annunciata. at Florence, and gets for pay a
tack of corn; and there are annoyances and
vexations in high places as well as in low
places, showing that in a great many lives
the sours are greater than the sweets. “When
Jesus therefore had received the vinegar.”
It is absurd to suppose that a man who has
always been well can sympathize with those
who are sick; or that one who has always
been honored can appreciate the sorrow of
those who are despised; or that one who has
been born to a goeat fortune can understand
the distress and the straits of those who are
destitute. The fact that Christ Himself,
took the vinegar, makes Him able to sym
pathize to-day and forever with all those
whose cup is tihed w ith sharp acids of this
life. He took the vinegar.
In the first place, there is the sourness of
betrayal. The treachery of Judas hurt
Christ s feelings more than all the friendship
of llis disciples did Him good. You have
had many friends; but there was one friend
upon whom you put especial stress. You
feasted him. You loaned him money. You
befriended him in the dark passes of life,when
he especially needed a friend. Afterward, he
turned upon you, anil lie took advantage of
your former intimacies. He wrote against
you. He talked against you. lle microsco
pized your faults. lie flung contempt at you
when you ought to have received nothing but
gratitude. At first, you could not sleep at
nights. Then you went about with a sense of
having been stung. That difficulty will
never he healed, for though mutual friends
may arbitrate in the matter until you shall
shake hands, the old cordiality will never
come back. Now. 1 commend to all such the
sympathy of a betrayed Christ. Why, they
sold Him tor less than our twenty dollarsl
They a I forsook Him, and fled. They cut
Him to the quick. Ho drank that cup of be
tra\ al to the dregs, lie took the vinegar.
There is also the sourness of pain. There
are some of you who have not seen a well
day for many years. By keeping out of
draughts,and by carefully studying dietetics,
you continue to this time; but, O, the head
aches, and the sideaches, and the backaches,
and the heartaches which have been your
accompaniment all the way through! You
have strugged under a heavy mort
gage ol' physical disabilities, and in
stead of the placidity that once char
acterised you, it is now only writh great
effort that you keep away from irritability
and sharp retort. Diflculties of respiration,
of digestion, of locomotion, make up the
great obstacle in your life, and you tug and
sweat along the pathway, and wondei
when the exhaustion will end. Mv
friends, the brightest crowns in heaven will
not be given to those who, in stirrups,
dashed to the cavalry charge, while the
general applauded, and the sound of clashing
sabres rang through the laud; "but tho
brightest crowns in heaven, 1 believe,
will be given to those who trudged on
amid chronic ailments which unnerved
their strength, yet all the time main
taining their faith in Hod. It is
comparatively easy to fight in a regiment of
a thousand men, charging upon the parapets
to the sound of martial mtbi ; but it is not so
easy to endure when no one but the mu*#
ana the doctor are the witnesses of tho
Christian fortitude. Besides that you never
had any pains worse than Christ's. The
sharpness's that stung through His brain,
through His hands, through His feet, through
His heart, were as groat as yours certainly.
He was as sick and as weary. Not a nerve,
or muscle, or ligament escaped. All the
pangs of all the nations of all the ages com
pressed into one sour cup. lie took the vine-
gar!
There is also tho sourness of poverty, i our
income does not meet your outgoings, and j
that alway gives an honest man anxiety, i
There is no sign of destitution about you—
pleasant appearance, and a cheerful home ;
for you; but God only knows what a time !
you have hnd to manage vour private
finances. Just as the bills run up,
the wages seem to ruu down. But
you are not the only one who has
not. been paid for hard work. 'l'lie great
Wilkie sold his celebrated piece, “The Blind
Fiddler,” for fifty guineas, although after
ward it brought its thousands. The world
bangs in admiration over tho sketch of
Gainsborough, vet that very sketch hung for
years in the shop window because
there was not any purchaser. Oliver
Goldsmith sold his “Vicar of Wake
field” lor a few pounds in order to
keep the bailiff out of tho door; and the vast
majority of men in all occupations and pro
fessions are not fully paid for their work.
You may say nothing, but life to you is a
hard push; and wh mi you sit down with your
wife and talk over the expenses you both rise
up discouraged You abridge here, and
you abridge there, and you got thing*
snug for smooth sailings, and lo! su ldenLr
mere is a large doctor’s bill to pay, or you
have lost your pocket-book, or some creditor
has failed, and you are thrown a-beatu end.
Well, brother, you are in glorious company.
Christ owned not the house in which lie
stopped, or the colt on which He rode, or the
boat in which ho sailed. He lived in a
borrowed house: He was buried in a bor
rowed grave. Exposed to all kinds of
weather, yet He tiad only one suit of clothes.
He breakfasted in the morning, and no one
could possibiy tell where He could get any
thing to eat before night. He would
have been pronounced a financial fail
ure. He had to perform a miracle
to get mon y to pay a tax-bill.
Not ad liar did He own. Privation of
domesticity; privation of nutritious food;
privation of a fomfortable couch on whi.*h
to sleep; privation of all worl lly resources.
The kings of the earth had chased chalices
out or which to drink; but Christ had noth
ing but a plain euo set Lefor * Him. and it
was very sharp, and it was very sour. lie
took the vine ;ar.
I here also is the sourness of bereavement,
there were years that passe* 1 along before
your family drop was inva led by death:
but the moment the charm *1 circle was
broken, everything seemed to dissolve. Hard
ly have you put the black apparel in the

from cheek to beard, and from beard to

He knows all about the lonelinea-t and the
heartbreak. He took the vinegar!
Then there is the sourness of the death-

must aul you must In the six thousand
years that have passed, only two persons have
got into the eternal world without death, and
1 do not suppose that God is going to send a
carriage for ns with horses of flame, todruw
us up the of heaven; but 1 suppose we
will have to g > like the preceding genera

will knock at the door of our heart and
serve on us the writ of ejectment, and wo
will have to surrender. Anil we will wake
up after th -so autumnal, and wintry, and
vernal, and summery glories have vanished
from our vision—we will wake up into a
realm which has only one season, and
that the season of everlasting love.
But you say: “I don’t want to break
out from inv present associations. It is
so chilly an 1 so damp to go down
the stairs of that vault. J don’t want any
thing drawn so tightly over my eyes. If
tli -re were only some way of breaking

wonder if the surgeons and the doctors can

this separation?’* None; absolutely
none. Ho 1 look over this audience to-day—
the vast majority of you seeming in good
health and spirits—and yet I re ili/.e that in a
short time all of us will bo gone—gone from
earth, and gone for ever. A great many men
tumble through the gates of the future, as it
were, and wo do not know where
they have gone, and they only add
gloom atid mystery to the passage;
nut Jesus Christ so mightily stormed
the gat s of that future world,that they have
never sin e been closely shut. Christ knows
what it is to leave this world, of the beauty
of which He was more appre dative than w
ever could tie. He knows the exquisitenea*
of the phosphoresence of the sea; lie trod it.
He knows the glories of the midnight heav
ens; for they were the spangled canopy of
His wilderness pillow. Ho knows about
the lilies. He twisted thorn into His sermon.
He knows about the fowls of the air; they
whirred their way tluough Ins discourse.
He knows about the sorrows of leaving this
beautiful world. Not a taper was kindled in
Hie darkness He died physicianless. Ho
died in cold sweat, and dizziness, ami hemor
rhage, and agony that have put Him in sym
pathy with all the dying. He goes through
Christendom, and He gathers up the stings
out of all the death pillows, and Ho puts
them under his own neck and head. Hoi
gathers on Ilis own tongue the burning !
thirsts of many generations. The sjxmgo is
soaked in the sorrows of all those wb > per
ished in icy or fiery martyrdom. \\ bile
heaven was pitying, and earth was mocking,
and hell was deriding, Ho took the vinegar!
To all those in this audience to whom life
has been an acerbity—a dose they could not i
swallow, a draught that set their teeth on !
edge and a rasping—l preach tho omnipo
tent sympathy of Jesus Christ. Tho sister j
of llerschel, tho astronomer, used to
help him in his work. He got all tho |
credit; she got none. She used to ,
spend much or her time polishing the i
telescopes through which he brought
the distant worlds nigh, and it is my am- I
bition now, this hour, to clear the lons of ,
your spiritual vision, so that looking through
the dark night of your earthly troubles you
may behold the glorious constellation of a
Saviour’s mercy and a Saviour’s love. O, my
friends, do not try to carry all your ilis
alone. Do not put your poor shoulder under
the Apennines when the Almighty < ’hrist is
ready to lift up ail your burdens. When you
have a burden of any kind, you rush this
way and that way; and you wonder what
this man will say about it, and what that j
man will say about it; and you try this pre
scription, ana tnat prescription, ana tfie
other prescription <>, why do you not go
straight to the heart of Christ, knowing that
for our own sinning and suffering race, He
took the vinegar.
i here was a vessel that had been tossed on ,
the seas for a great many weeks, and been i
disabled, and tho supply of water gave out,
and the crew were dying of thirst. After
many (lavs, they saw a sail against the sky.
They signaled it. When the vessel came
nearer, the people on the suffering ship cried
to the captain .of the other vessel: “Send
us some water. We are dying for lack of
water.” And the captain on the vessel that
was hailed responded: “Dip your buckets
where you are. You are in the mouth of tho
Amazon, and there are scores of miles of fresh
water all around about you, and hundreds
of feet deep. ” And then they dropped their
buckets over the side of the vessel, and
brought up the clear, bright, fresh water,
and put out the fire of their thirst. 80 1 bail
you to-day, after a long and perilous voyage,
thirsting as you are for pardon,
and thirsting for comfort, and thirsting
lor eternal life; and I ask you what is the use
of your going in that death-struck state,
while all around you is the deep, clear, wide,
sparkling flood of God’s sympathetic mercy.
O, dip your buckets, and drink, and live for
ever. “WhosoeVer will, lot him come aud
take of tlie water of life freely.'*
Yet my utterance is almost choked at the
thought that there are people here who will
refuse this divine sympathy; and they will
try to fight their own battles, and drink
their own vinegar, and carry their own
burdens; and their life, instead of beimr
a triumphal march from victory to victory
will be a hobbling-on from defeat to defeat,
until they make final surrender to retributive
disaster. O, I wish 1 could to-day gather up
my arms all the woes of men and women —
all their heart-aches—all their disappoint
ments—all their chagrins—and .just, take
them right to the feet of a sympathizing
Jesus, lie took tho vinegar.
Nana Sahib, after he had lost his last bat
tle in India, fell back into the .jungles of Iheri
—jungles so full of malaria that no mortal
can live there. He carried with him also
a ruby of great lustre and of great
value. He died in those jungles;
his body was never found, and the ruby
has never yet been recovered. And I fear
that to day there are sotno who will fall
haek from this subject into the sickening,
killing jungles of their sin, carrying e gem of
infinite value—a priceless soul—to be lost
forever. O, that that ruby might Hash
in the eternal coronation. But no.
There are some, I fear, in this audience who
turn away from this offered mercy, and com
fort, and Divine sympathy; notwithstanding
that Christ, for all who would accept His
1 grace, trudged the long way, and suffered
the lacerating thongs, and received in His
face the expectorations of the filthy
mob, and for the guilty, and the discour
aged, and the discomforted of the race, took
tlie vinegar. May God Almighty break the
infatuation, and lead yon out into the strong
hope, and the good cheer, and the glorious
sunshine of this triumphant Gospel.
Hound to a Tree fo* Torture.
Playing Indian is the latest diversion
of a party of youngsters whose wealthy
parents livo in the pretty cottages at
Glen Ridge, near Bloomfield, N. J.
They adorn their hats with feathers from
domestic fowls and dusters, and prance
around in the woods ami fields of tho
neighborhood to the terror of timid boys
and girls who art* not in tho game. 'Tho
boy’s ages range from 10 to 14, and they
make as much noise as a band of full
grown Arapahoes on the warpath.
Recently they caught Willie ZtfMer, a
nine-year-old boy, and prepared to tor
ture him, and perform a wax dance
around him. They tied him to a tree
and piled brush around his feet, making
it appear that, they were going to burn
him. Whether they would have carried
out the plan or not is impossible to de
cide, for before any matches were pro
duced the terror-stricken prisoner faint
ed. The boys tbpught they had killed
him, and were so badly scared that they
ran away, leaving him bound to tho
tree.
Willie’s mother was informed <yf his
plight by a little girl. She ran to the
tree, and after cutting the clothes lino
with which lie was tied, carried him into
the house and sent for the doctor, who
said the child would probably be a long
time recovering from the shook.

Have the Plums.
A “Veteran Fruitgrower" says in the
New York Triune: “The curculio, so
destructive of the smooth-stone fruit
(and injurious to early apples and pears)
is a small insect a fourth of an inch long,
resembling insize and appearance a ripe
hciup-ced. As soon as the flowers drop
from the plum and apricot, it begins its
work, by making a small crescent shaped
puncture in the young fiuit, now no
larger than a pea. into tins puncture it
thrusts its egg, which soon hatches, and
the young larva enters the fruit, catsuml
grows, and destroys its value. The
smaller plums and those first attacked
fall to the ground. The remedy (which
is better than all the many others ever
prop sed and tested, and which is based
on fifty years of successful experience)
consists of killing the insects before they
have done much harm, by jarring down
on white sheets, and pinching them be
tween thumb and finger. To make tho
jarring effectual, insert an iron plug as
long as one’s finger into a hole bored
laterally in the trunk at the centre of the
head, or if the tree be large, into each
main branch, and strike with a heavy
hammer on the plug. The heavy jar
loosens the hold of eve:y curculio, and it
falls on the sheet below, is easily seen on
the white surface and is quickly dis
patched. The best form of the sheet is
a piece about two yards wide and long,
stretched on a light frame, tube carried
on the operator’s left arm with the ham
mer in his right hand. He holds the
sheet first under one side, then under
the other, with a sharp blow of the ham
mer each time, followed with the liuish
ng pinch of tluimb and finger.
As soon as the blossoms drop and the
plums are as large as small peas, the
crescent marks will be seen, and the
work must be begun, going over every
tree early in tho morning, without inter
mission, for about three weeks. Home
times when the insects are most abun
daut, ten or fifteen may be found at a
time on a single tree, but by the contin
ued jarring day after day, they will
gradually diminish toone or two or none.
Orchards containing forty or fifty plum
trees, the crops of which were so nearly
ruined by this inset that not a peck of
good fruit remained, have been so com
pletely protected by this process that
after the destruction of several hundred
insects, the trees were afterward seen
loaded and bending under their heavy
crops of purple and golden fruit, the cost
ef defending which did not amount to
more than six cents a years for each tree.
—The common mistakes made in de
stroying the curculio are: 1. Striking the
limbs with a mallet -which has been
paddeil with cotton to prevent bruising
the bark. The blow is thus softened,
and but few of the insects fall; on the
inserted iron plug, one sharp blow brings
down every one. Spreading sheets
on the wet ground, with boys to carry
them from tree to tree. With light rods
to stretch one large sheet, and a central
cross rod for the operator to carry on his
left arm, lie needs no help and keeps the
sheet dry and clean. ". beginning the
work too late in the season, after most
of the plums have been punctured, inter
mitting it, and stopping too soon.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Cut the asparagus bed only very lightly
the second year.
Begin to weed the garden crops as soon
as the row's are well started.
In Summer succulent food is the best,
because the cow' needs more water during
warm weather. But if fed entirely on
green food in Winter, the cow may be I
obliged to take too much water in her
food.
A. W. Cheever claims that grass can
be grown much more economically in
rotation with other crops than if the
attempt is made to glow it continuously
on the same land for a long term of
years.
Endive is a kind of lettuce grown for
fall use, und when nicely bleached,
makes a pleasant salad. Spinach is a
crop that can bo had all summer, by fre
quent sowing, but is more in season in
spring and fall.
The director of the Massachusetts Ex
periment Station favors spreading out
barnyard manure on the surface of the
soil as soon as possible. It does not gain
in value by being kept, and it is un
healthy for stock to have it stored under
them.
A vast deal of trouble can be saved if
the battle with the insects is waged at
the outset. The little silvery network
that spreads itself at the junction of two
bare limbs looks harmless enough now,
hut when the skeleton hands of leaves
stripped of all tlieir greenness extend
themselves in pleading to be rid of tlie
hungry worms that cling to them in an
attempt to draw tlie last drop of life, it
is a serious state of tilings. Then it is
too late to arou e to the conception of
the work to be done.
That there is such a disease of the
peach tree as yellows is unfortunately
too well attested. Still, much that
passes for yellows is due to other causes
—poverty of soil and Winter killing of
the previous year's growth. In a y
kind of tree the witheiing or dying out
of dead branches will in time aliect its
vitality. Tho apple is a great deal
hardier and stronger tree than the peach,
but even on this :i dead limb is, if not
speedily removed, soon followed by
others, until the tree dies. In many
cases other causes of peach trees dying
arc ascribe 1 to yellows: not infrequently
the cause will be found near the root in
an attack from the borer.
Snow Blindness.
When in ( olorado shooting,the end of
last year, write* a correspondent of Xa
ture, my friend had a very had attack of
snow blindness, caused by a long march
on snow 7 wi h bright sun. Mv eyes also
were very bud tin* next day and caused
much pain. Feme days after I was
under siiniliar circumstances, when my
guide stopped, and taking some burned
wood from a stump blackened his nose
and under the eves well clown on the
cheek bone. On asking him the reason,
he told me it stopped snow blindness,
and as the glare was very strong I did
the same, and found immediate relief.
1 did this all the time I was out, and
never found the snow affect, my eyes
in any way. Everyone 1 spoke to about
it could give no reason for it,but all used
it on the march. Some use glasses, but,
as my man remarked, “glasses cost dol
lars, dirt nothing.”

struggle between the l nited States and
Croat I’.ritain from 1812 to 1813. Thu
Americans had crowded the Chesapeake
with inexperienced landsmen, aud had
made ready, it is said, a feast on shore
for the crow on tlieir return flushed with
vietoiy. The unexpected iiappened as
as usual; the American frigate became
the prize of the ship of the mother
country. The Shannon also was broken
up at Chatham, and parts of her hull xvera
sold at a premium.
Sir Francis Drake's tiny ship, the
Colden Hind, at a still more remote
period came to a similar end at Deptford.
A cliair made out of her timbers is
treasured by tho university authorities at
Oxford.
The Betsy Caius brought over William
of Orange to this country in 1688, and
was cast away in 1827—130 years later.
This historical ship, that helped to change
a dynasty, was over 150 years old when
she ceased her combat with the winds and
waves. The Brothers, a wooden brig,
built at Maryport iu 1786, is even now
ploughing the waters of the North Sea.
We noticed a good mo lel of her in South
Kensington Museum. She is one of those
box-like craft that sailors say are built by
the mile and cut off as they are wanted.
The Robert, a wooden barkentine built
at Barnstaple just ten years alter 11. M. S.
Victory, is in active service. The True
love of London, an American-built bark
of 1764, would appear to be the oldest
trader in this country, or indeed in the
whole world. Tlie Goodwill, built at
Sunderland in 1785, the Eliza, built at
Whitehaven in 171)2, and the Cognac
Packet, built at Bursledon in the same
year, complete the list of British ships
remaining to us from last century. Tho
Norwegians possess three vessels that
have been employed actively for 100
years— Chamiters' Journal.
An Extraordinary Epitaph.
Mr. E. T. Yictt has furnished the
Charleston (S. C.) Ne-rt ant Courier
the following epitaph, which was copied
from a tombstone in llorsleydown
Church, Cumberland, England:
Hero lie tho Lo lies
of Thomas Bond, and Mary,his wife.
She was temperato.chaste and charitable;
But,
she was proud, peevish and passionate.
She was an affectionate wife and a tender
mother;
But,
her husband and child, whom she loved,
seldom
saw for countenance without a
disgusting frown,
while she received visitors,whom she despised,
with an endearing smile.
Her behavior was discreet toward strangers;
But,
imprudent in her family.
She was a professed enemy to flattery, and
was seldom known to praise or commend;
But,
; the talents in which she principally excelled
were difference of opinion and discover
ing flaws and imperfections.
She was an admirable economist,
and, without prodigality,
dispensed plenty to every person in her family;
But,
! would sacrifice their eyes to a farthing candle.
I She sometimes made her husband happy with
her good qualities;
But,
much more frequently with
her many failings.
Insomuch, that in thirty years’ cohabitation
he often lamented
that, maugreall her virtues,
I ho had not, in the whole, enjoyed two
years of matrimonial corniort.
At length,
finding she had lo t tin affection of her
husband, as well as the regard ol her neigh
bors.
family disputes having been divulged by
servants,
she died of vexation, July 28, 1768,
aged 18 years.
Her worn out husband survived her four
months and two days,
and departed this life November 28, 1708,
in the 54th year of his age.
William Bond, brother to the deceased,,
erected this stone
as a weekly monitor to the surviving
wives of this parish,
that they may avoid the infamy
of having their memories handed down to
posterity
with a patchwork character.
Pilfers His Workmen's Minutes.
Standing at a window five stories from
the ground, on Cedar street,a New York
tiim reporter was admiring tlie tall build
ing to the left on the opposite side of
the street, and commenting on the im
provement anew structure would make,
which is now in course of erection,when
his companion remarked:
“See my watch. It is just two min
utes of 12 o’clock. Two minutes after
12 the bo w of the 100 laborers and ma
sons on that building will blow his
whistle for the men to stop lor the din
ner hour.
The reporter produced his watch also,
and exactly two minutes after 12 o'clock
by the two t mepieces the boss blew’ his
whistle.
“1 have observed that fact so many
times that lam sure there is method in
it,said Mr. .Stewart. “1 became curi
ous to see what time the men were or
dered to work,and invariably the whistle
blows three minutes of 1 o’clock. In
that way the contractor gains 5 minutes
a day on each man, 20 minutes a week,
120 minutes a month, and 1140 minutes
or 2 days a year.
“Now, say that this contractor em
ploys, in one way or another, !00 men
the year around, and that lie gains live
minutes a day, or three days a year on
each man, what docs he gain? AYell,say
he pays these skilled and unskilled
workmen $2 a day On on man he will
make $0 a year, and on 100 men, SOOO a
year. That is not so had, is it .”
The reporter said nothing, but he did

Now Freaks of Fashion.
Tho whimsicalities among fashionable
girls iin Judo rings on tlieir thumbs,
these jewels will not come into voguo,
bee ansc only sockets of oddity will wear
them. Another new freak of fair hands,
linger loss gloves, was a novelty at a re
cent dinner. They were n compromise
between wholly gloved hands, which are
clumsy mid iirisiiituble to eat with, and
bare hands, w hich scum liurdly the right
thing for a dressy occasion. Ho an umber
of ladies, ns though by pre-arrangement,
were gloves that stopped a little beyond
their knuckles. Those were like tho
mitts of our grandmothers, except that
they wore made of kid. Not only did
they have the advantage of beauty and
utility in the handling of knives, forks
and spoons, but they permitted a display
of jewelry Tho atrocity of rings on
gloved lingers is not often committed by
fashionable women, who have therefore
been reluctantly compelled to hide, or
leave off, their linger jewels at all times
w hen gloves wore prescribed. The finger
less gloves, ns thus introduced, were a
special manufacture to ordor; but the
iealcr will, of course, hasten to meet a
inland. Customers can't wait for an
importation,which would takesix weeks,
by which time the season of spring din
ners will bo over. Ho dealers will have
to amputate the fingers of gloves already
in stock, ami finish the c it edges with
fancy stitching. If an body desires to go
into the business of supplying kid covers
for sore fingers, lie cun now lay in u sup
ply cheaply.— AWany Journal.
Outdoor (Janies for Women.
It is not many years ago since the idea
of women joining in outdoor games was
regarded with aversion by most people.
Not until the Indian game of badminton
was introduced to English society did
people see that there cun be a great deal
of harmless amusement and genuine
healthy exeicise derived by women from
such games. Tennis soon succeeded its
stupid elder sister and attained the popu
larity of a regular craze, lint novelty is
ihe order of the day, and cricket is now
being introduced among tho fair tennis
players in many of the i nglisli clubs with
considerable success. Hut the sport is
not xvell suited to women players, and
tlie game, as played by them, is shorn of
all its power, grace and fine points.
Nevertheless, a good deal of cricket of
that kind is being played.
There is at present in the West End of
London a ladies’ school which plays al
most nothing else, and its first yearly
match is against the eleven of a neigh
boring boys’ academy, in which it has
frequently proved victorious, thereby
arousing jealously and dissatisfaction
among the boys, w ho are not always chiv
alrous enough to accept tlieir defeat in
proper spirit. In tlie West of England
there are many women’s clubs and pri
vate matches, each side captained by a
gentleman, are frequently played.
Shropshire is tlie cnief center of cricket
for women, and among the worst of
counties iu the ordinary cricketing sense
of the term. The women, however,
make ample am mis for their husbands
and brothers, aud even under unfavora
ble circumstances can polish off the
women of Lancashire or Nottingham in
a single inning. Chicago Herald.
Fashions in Fans.
Fans this season will be of every
Variety of color, shape and design. They
may match the costume, or contrast with
it; be large or small, pretty curious,
exquisite or plain, according to the
whim of tho wearer. There are no
restrictions as to what style should be
used, and the fair purchaser will find the
fan counters at the stores loaded with a
bewildering variety. A wider range of
material and design is employed than
ever before. Delicate carving, exquisite
painting and even diamond ornamenta
tion are lavished on tlie more costly lans.
The moderate priced article displays
wonderful taste and beauty, and even the
cheap fan is quaint aud pretty.
Among the novelties is the ribbon fan,
composed of gauze, with rows of narrow
ribbon worked in and out between the
sticks, which are of mother-of-pearl.
The ribbons are delicately tinted and
form a harmonious combination, pro
ducing a rainbow effect. Uau/e fans,
with delicately carved sticks of ivory or
enameled wood, and ornamented with
spangles, painting or embrodery, are
popular.
Fans are made entirely of flowers to
mat ch and i fferent costumes. .1 apanese fans
will be used by the masses as much as
ever.
Several pretty de-igns of feather fans
are made for evening use. They are
popular with debutantes. A handsome
fan that will be very popular this summer
is an arrangement of gossamer and gilt.
It has a lace border and is usually
painted with Watteau designs, or with
bunches of flowers in delicate colors.
The ivory sticks are exquisitely carved
or are inlaid with gold. Elegant fans
made of satin, vellum and gauze and
painted by prominent French artists cost
from *SO to *SOO. The finest materials
are employed in making these fans. The
sticks are of amber, tortoise-shell, mother
of pearl, sandal-wood, gold, and silver.
The painting is usually a group of fig
ures or a Int of landshape. Flowers
usually encircle the scene, but are seldom
used alone to decorate these costly fans.
The most expensive fans are the jew
eled toys that are made to order. There
are white swandown fans with diamonds
and rubies set in the sticks, and point
lace fans with a design picked out in
small diamonds, and clusters of precious
stones set in the bar. The cost of those
freaks of feminine fancy is from .SSOO to
SBOO.
Society belles usually have a fan foi
cacli costume. A dainty painted silk
and ivory fan serves for the morning.
A be.iutiful lace affair is used at tho
afternoon tea. The elegant dinner toilet
requires an exquisitely painted stud) 7 in
vellum or gauze, with amber sticks. In
the evening a fan of ostrich plumes,
spangled gauze or jeweled lace will com
plete the costume. —Mail ami Kcprrss.
Fashion Notes.
Rope rings of plain, dull gold are very
stylish.
The bascpie with plain back and full
fronts girdled from l lie side is the popular
corsage for lace toilets.
Flounces are a feature of the latest
importation of French dresses*, and they
arc arranged in various ways.
Matty of the new black and white
flchus are made with ladder-like in
sertions through which ribbons are run.
The Marie Antoinette fischu is being
revived, to wear with high or low
corsages of afternoon and evening
dresses.
White dresses are not likely to be worn
so much this summer as for several
seasons past, the prevailing fancy being
for colors.
“omc of the prettiest white veilings
come with a silk selvage li!<e a topped
ribbon, which is arranged to serve as a
garniture.
lied sil -s with white figures or stripes,
trimmed with white lace and having a
soft vest of white silk muslin, are u-ed
for some very effective summer gowns.
Dresses of white wool are trimmed
with gold and steel together, or with net
or galloon embroidered with si .o r or
copper, also with ruil.es of coatse meshed
lac e
An example of the prevailing fancy for
irregular arrangement* showed one-half

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made.
One of the atoriea wliioh has been our
rent in social circles at Washington
lately ia in rogar l to the remarkable
make-up of a well-known young society
woman. The mould in which she liu.l
been oust by an unknown fate was im*
satisfactory alike t" herself and parents,
who filially concluded to try tho effects
of foreign travel for her. After a long
absenoe abroad the family returned and,
to tho astonishment of all who had pre
viously known her, the daughter was
completely nretiunorphoaed. l rom
tall, angular girl, she had not only be
come well rounded, but buxom, with a
noticeable broadening of the shoulders.
After a while it leaked out that xvhile in
l’aris the girl ha 1 been taken to a model
maker, who, in consideration of a largo
gum, agreed to construct a wire figure
of tlio desired proportions, which was
ingeniously made to open down the
buck, and was of such fine, soft material
that its presence would fail to be detect l
ed save by the keenest scrutiny. This
wire cage necessitates, with evening
dress, a band of velvet or collar of some
description, and as long as worn effect
ually preeludes tho idea of decollete
gowns on the part of the wearer.
Trustful People.
Manchuria seem* to lie n goo-1 place
f r binkers. The English consul lit
Ncwchawang explains the process by
w hich those who take care of other peo
ple’s money get rich. Wealthy inhabi
tants are afraid to let their wealth be
known, as it w ould be calmly confiscated
by the government, which does not
think its citizens should havo to > much
money. Enormous sums are therefore
deposited with bankers, and no receipts
are taken from them. No interest is
asked, and at the death of the dep ’sitor
the heirs very frequently do not know oi
ihe thousands and thousands of taels
which lmd been deposited and which
consequently go to the bank. A banker
could even refuse, should lie get into
difficulty, to restore what lie had taken
on trust, as a merchant would not, of
course, make a scandal which should
convict him of keeping his money out
of the hands of his imperial aud other
rulers.
Immense Clock.
The new clock just placed in the tow
er of the University at Glasgow, Scot
land, is a tremendous affair. Ihe main
wheels of the striking and quarter trains
are twenty inches in diameter. The
weight of the hammer that strikes the
hours is 120 pounds and it is lifted ten
inches. "There is an automatic ap
paratus attached to the clock which
stops the quarter peals at night and
starts them in the morning. The pendu
lum is zinc and iron, to counteract the
influences of temperature. The bob of
the pendulum is cylindrical and weighs
300 pounds, and the beat is 1£ seconds.
About the Hair.
An inquisitive physiciaa has discovered
that the dust, oil and water which ac
cumulates in a hairbrush, makes a fertile
soil for the accumulation of living germs,
and he charges that the public hair
brush, so accommodatingly placed in
boats, cars and barber shops, may easily
be the means of spreading such diseases
as scald head, tetter, and even measles
and the small-pox.

Who D Never Cruy 1
There are many firm believers In the
theory that most people are crazy at
times, and facta seem to support their
belief. The following, from a aoitroo
unknown to the writor, will likely re
mind a number of our roaders of some
incident in their experience, which ut
tlie time of its occurrence seemed to
them most unaccountable:
“A wise man will step backward off a
porch or into a puddle, a great pliiloso
liher will hunt for tlie specks that are in
liia hand or on his forehead, a hunter
will sometimes shoot himself or his dog.
A working girl hud been feeding a great
clothing kinfo for teu years. One day
she watohod tho knife oome down slow
ly upon lior hand. Too late she woke
out of tier stupor with one hand gone.
For a few seconds hor mind find failed,
and she sat by her machine a temporary
lunatic ami had watched the knife ap
proach her own hand. A distinguished
professor was teaching near a canal.
Walking along ono evening in summer
he walked as deliberately into the canal
ns lie had been walking along tlio path
a second before. Ho was brought to his
Beiises by the water and mini and tlie
absurdity of tlio situation. Ho had ou a
new suit of clothes and a now silk hat,
but though the damage was thus great,
lie still laughs over the adventure. Our
mail collectors find in tlio iron boxes
along tlie streets all sorts of papers and
urticles which liaxe been put iu by some
hand from whose motions the mind lias
become detached for a second. A glove,
a pair of spectacles, a deed, a mortgage,
a theatre ticket, goes in, and on goes tlie
person, holding on to the regular letter
which should have been deposited. This
isj called absent-mindedness, but is a
brief lunacy.”
As Summer comes, xxe may have to
listen to the old story one more: “Where
is my wandering boy to-night?” xvhile

musk and watermelon in your neighbor’s
patch, provided lie can find the ripe ones,
as ho is raising them in the dark of the
