FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Sprlnft Fa.hlon. frm tht “ Bazar."
The chevi*ts of pure wool loosely
woven are among the favorite fabrics for
early spring suits that will also serve
for traveling dresses durihg the sum
mer. These soft goods have what was
called last year the "flannel finishthey
are evenly but loosely woven, and are
without luster. They come in small
pin-head checks of cream with brown,
two drab shades, pale olive with darker
green, and two shades of gray. They
are double fold, forty-five inches wide,
and are $1 a yard. When made in the
simple styles now in vogtle for such
dresses, eight or nine yards is an abun
dance for a whole suit. One of the
favorite plans for such dresses is the
round full skirt, stitched as a border,
but not flounced, and worn with a long
surtout over-dress that is left open be
low the waist in all its seams—not
merely in the middle back seam. The
only silk or satin used on such suits is
that employed as a wide facing on the
edges and up the opened parts to the
waist; this facing is sometimes in a
gay contrasting color, though a darker
shade of the same color will be pre
ferred for plain traveling dresses. The
other popular design for such suits is
that worn during the winter with a full
skirt on which an apron is draped, and
an English skirted jacket—basque of
medium length rounded in front like
the spring jackets described above. A
finer wool fabric for spring is_ camel’s
hair of thick round threads, yet sleazily
woven, like the beige de sante used last
year. I his comes in stripes, clouded or
in dashes. The new broche goods of
mixed wool and silk are of very pliable
qualities, and have all the silk thrown
on the surface, and the ground almost
covered with figures; thus a pheasant
brown ground of wool is almost con
cealed by intricately woven arabesques
of cream-colored silk, or eise a peacock
blue ground has pale olive green of
loose silken threads; these are single
width, and $1.25 a yard. Since cream
colors are to be largely used again, a
bunting polonaise of that shade com
bined with pheasant brown and cream
colored brocke will be a very safe choice
for ladies who must make up their sum
mer wardrobes at the earliest moment.
The genuine Chinese crapes, like
those in Canton crape shawls, are im
ported in all colors to combine with
silk or satin for elegant costunes for the
spring. They come in the pale tints
that can only be used for very choice
occasions, such as rose, Isabelle, cream
pale blue, and in the darker heliotrope
and coachman’s drab. They will cost
from $2 a yard upward, and are vcr v
narrow.
Soft figured silks to combine with
these crapes have very quaintly con
trasting colors arranged in the design;
thus cream-color will have Japanese
blue and bronze figures, a del blue
ground will have brown and ecru
figutes, and old gold will bestrewn with
pale blue.
Biocaded satin de Lyon for evening
dresses has very large detached figures or
flowers on a ground of the same shade,
or else in striking contrast; thus salmon
grounds have blue flowers, and a great
peony is on tea-colored ground. New
canvas silks as soft and almost as thin
as grenadine represent the Louisine
silks of former seasons. They come in
half-inch stripes of gray brocade on
white, separated by stripes of garnet,
peacock blue, or brown.
A novelty is the summer satin de
Lyon, which is almost transparent, and
may be classed among thin goods.
I lie surface is lu.strous, and as closely
woven as if twilled, and will make up
very handsomely in combination with
heavy satin. It comes in pheasant
brovyn, heliotrope, beige shades, pale
blue, rose, and white. Bareges are also
shown for summer dresses, and will be
liked for their soft clinging quality.
The useful seaside grenidines that are
all wool come in pretty designs of bars
that look like hem-stitching, and in
many lace patterns, showing diamond
figures, palms or stripes. These make
diessy little toilettes when pale white,
ttii-gieen or light heliotrope colors are
chosen, but they will be more used for
sei \ iceable suits in coachmen’s livery
shades, deep green and pheasant brown.
I title are also crape-like grenadines of
thickness between that of bunting and
of silk grenadine, which are said to be
made of tine camel’s hair, and are shown
in all the new shades.
The fine dressy grenadines that have
a great deal of silk in them are made to
have the luster of satin, and are usually
brocaded, and have lace-like patterns.
Sometimes only one stripe is brocaded,
■while that next it has a lace-like effect;
other patterns have large detached
figures, flowers, or feathers. Great
oval lozenge- shaped satin figures are
strewn on lace-like grounds, and polka
dots are in the square open meshes.
Ihe new white Hamburg embroider
ies for trimming summer dresses for
ladies and for children are in the open
designs known as English-work. Com
pass s, stars, wheels, diamonds, squares,
palms arabesques and Greek borders
are all made in the newest edgings and
insertion, and to vary these are both
agricultural and floriated patterns, with
arches, columns and borders, made up
of tiny open squares like hem-stitching
and revere-work. When thick work is
used, the polka-dot pattern prevails in
heavy raise 1 work, with merely a scal
loped edge.
Hands OA.
Olive Logan says: A woman’s safe
guard is to keep a man’s hands off her.
If yqu need his assistance in walking,
take his arm instead of him taking
yours. Just tell him in plain English to
“ hands off.” He may not like it at first,
but he will respect you in the future
tenfold more. Men will be and do just
what the women allow them to do.
Men will not do to trust. Give a man
your arm, and you will find him very
confidential, and he will take a great
many privileges he would not take if he
were not permitted to do so. He will
give your arm many loving squeezes and
sly twists that he could have no oppor
tunity of doing, and the opportunity is
just what he is after. A lew more words
of advice and close. Keep your girls off
the street, except when they have busi
ness. Teach them it is unnecessary to
go to the postoftiee every time they go
out. Your girls can walk alone just as
well as your boys. Don’t allow your
girls, if they must have a beau, to go
with boys much older than themselves.
If possible, instill into their very nature
that they are safer in their own hands
than they are in the hands of any man,
Remenyi and His Fiddle.
There lives in Washington a man
named John Birch, who is called the
“Hermit.” He has wonderful skill ih
prescribing for injured stringed instru
ments. In ohe of his talkative mo
ments he recently told the following
story to a reporter of the Washington
Critic: One day some time ago, when
Remenyi was performing in this city, he
called to see me and seemed very much
distressed. He brought his Violin box
and said his violin was out of tune or
order and wanted it fixed. I did not
know the man, but when he told me
who he was, 1 took a good look at him
and imagined at once that his violin was
seriously damaged. “ I tell you,” said
he to me, “just how it is. This box
contains a violin that has made my for
tune; to it I owe my entire success in
life. It is an old and rare one, pur
chased at great price years ago in Italy,
Without it I am ruined. Fix it and I
am a happy man.” He then went on to
say that several months previous it had
suddenly lost its volume, of
tone, you know, and refused to respond
effectively to those strong, deep notes
with which he had often secured effect,
and though several parties had tried to
fix it, their work had been of no avail,
and he was almost in despair, because
to get another instrument like it was
almost impossible. He was in that state
of trouble when he met Ole Bull out
West, and was advised to come and see
me when he came to Washington, di
rect'ng him how to find me.
All this he said excited like, and then
opening his box produced the violin and
handed it to me. It was a beauty and
no mistake, and I judge, worth lots of
money, but was not scratched or broken
in the least. I saw the trouble at & glance
and asked him to turn his back and in
three minutes handed it to him again.
“ Draw your bow over that now,” I
said, and he did, and as the rich, old
familiar notes came forth strong and
loud again his face was lit up with joy.
I ain’t much of a judge of.human natur,
bein’ a hermit, as they call me, but I’ll
bet that man, then, was the happiest'
person agoin’. No applause as he’d ever
got in a theater could a’ give him more
delight. “My friend,” he says to me,
turnin’ the instrument over and over
and looking at me, “ if it’s no secret to
you, tell me what was the trouble. Tell
me, for you have saved my reputation.”
Then I explained to him as how the
long hard pressing of the violin against
his shoulder had given the soundin’
board a kind of an upward bulge like,
very slight, but just enough to throw her
out of trim, and the swelling forced the
bridge up. too, thus straining the strings
and breaking the force of ton e. I saw it
once by glancing at it up and down, and
when he turned his back I slipped out
the bridge, sand-papered it off a bit,
enough to bring it down to even level,
you see, and put it back and the old
sound was there again. Well, he was a
happy man and he couldn’t thank me
too much. He paid me, of course, and
went away rejoicin’; but I couldn’t
help losing much of my respect for the
great musician who allowed himself to
get worked up over a little thing like
that, and I never went to hear him play.
Captive Light.
A little reflection will show that if a
means could be found for storing up
light, as heat or electricity can be
stored, the invention would be of al
most infinite application. To discover
means of this kind has been the aim of
an English chemist, and the results of
his researches were protected in a patent
No. 4,152, 1877, for “luminous paint.”
it is known that there are certain earths;
such as the sulphides of lime and baryta,
nnd some sorts of sea shell, which on
being exposed to the light for a time be
come luminous in the dark, and appar
ently give out again the light which
they have absorbed. Mr. Balmin’s idea
was to compound a paint of these sub
stances which could be applied to the
windows of rooms, the walls of streets,
buoys, notices, clock faces, and a thou
sand other articles which require to he
seen in the dark, so as to render them
self-luminou3. Owing, however, to the
health of the inventor breaking down,
no practical issues came oi the invention
until quite recently, when it was taken
up in a spirited fashion by Messrs,
lhlee & Horne, of London. A pioneer
company has been formed to work the
patent, and there is now an eager de
mand for the mysterious illuminant.
The exact nature of the luminous in
gredient of the paint is kept a secret,
but it is said to be wholly extracted
from the common chalk of our cliffe.
Probably it is the sulphide of ealcipm.
and is prepared by mixing lime and
sulphur in certain proportions. The
paint can be made with oil or other
transparent liquid, according to the pur
pose for which it is designed. The phy
sical nature ’of the storing process ap
pears to be that the waves of light,
bx-eaking upon the the molecules of the
sensitive salt, start them into vibration,
and this contining long after
the motive light is withdrawn, sets up
a succession of either waves which af
fect the eye as light, much in the same
way as the blow of a bell clapper gives
rise to the waves of sound. A sensitive
surface of the paint exposed to daylight,
or the more powerful beams of the
magnesium wire, will continue to emit
light for four or five hours after. Of
course the “ stored ” light grows fainter
as the time grows longer.— London En
gineering.
A Mere Trifle of Gold.
The Silver World, published in Den
ver, Col., says: A cubic inch of gold is
worth $210; cubic foot, $362,880; a
cubic yard, $9,797,762. This is valuing
it at $18.69 an ounce. At the commence
ment.of the Christian era there was then
in the world $427,000,000 in go]d. This
had diminished to $57,000,000 at the
time America was discovered. Then it
began to increase. Now the amount of
gold in use is estimated at $6,000,000,000.
Yet, all this, wielded into one mass,
would be contained in a cube of twenty
six feet.
The Charge of the Light Brigade.
In the course of a vivid description of
this famous charge a writer in the Bos
ton Commercial Bulletin says: The Rus
sian cavalry made but slight resistance;
indeed, they opened right and left for
our men to pass; but they had a pur
pose In doing so, and our poor fellows
soon learned that the terrible experi
ences of the forward charge would be
equaled by those of the retreat. Lord
Cardigan led his men out as he led them
in—riding twenty paces in lront of the
leading squadron, and as they cleared
the cavalry they encountered a perfect
tempest of missiles from Russian infan
try and artillery which, during the
sabre combat at the central battery, had
been moved up and posted on the high
ground along the valley for a third of
its length. Through this they must
ride, and consequently fully one-half of
the returning remnant fell here.
It was pitiful to behold the wounded
and bleeding troop-horse striving to
keep up with its comrades, or else,
stumbling and tottering, endeavoring to
carry its master to a place of safety,
who, In many cases, covered with
wounds, could barely sustain himself in
the saddle by holding on to the pom
mel ; it was exciting to see a dismounted
trooper standing in the midst of* this
storm, waiting for a riderless horse to
approach, and then to observe the
docility and discipline of the animal in
allowing itself to be caught and
mounted on such an occasion, and
afterward to succeed in bringing its
rider within our lines; it was a noble
sight to behold two well-mounted hus
sars ride up on each side of a wounded
and dismounted comrade, officer or pri
vate, and stooping in the saddle, seize
him firmly under the arms and ride in
safely with him. Brave, noble deeds
all. Wonderful deeds of valor and
daring were performed in this charge,
but it is not my purpose to recite here
the instances of individual bravery
which were afterward recorded by the
survivors; I will therefore say that all
did well—so well, that it eclipsed all
that I had ever read or conceived of.
Washington’s Visit to Baltimore.
On his way to Yorktown, in 1781,
General Washington reached Baltimore
on the seventh of September. A depu
tation of citizens met him with an ad
dress, in the name of Baltimore town,
to which he replied. He was often here
in the subsequent years, and always was
received with honor; but in the spring
of 1788, a local incident of especial in
terest occurred. Baltimore had just
celebrated the adoption of the new con
stitution by the finest procession that
had then been ever seen in its limits.
Among the trades represented on the
occasion in the line were the ship
masters, by a full-rigged ship. Says
“ The Life of Commodore Barney
“ He had a small boat, fifteen feet in
length and perfectly equipped as a ship,
called the Federalist, which, being
mounted on four wheels and drawn by
the same number of horses, took its
place in the procession. Captain Bar
ney commanded the ship and was
honored with a crew of captains, who,
at bis word and with the boatswain’s
pipe, went through all the various
maneuvers of making and taking in sail,
to the great delight of the crowded win
dows, doors and balconies as they
passed. The ship was immediately fol
lowed by .all the captains, mates and
seamen at that time in the port of Bal
timore. It was paraded through all
the principal streets of Fell’s Point and
the other portions of the city, and finally
anchored on the beautiful and lofty bank
of the basin, which has ever since borne
the title of Federal Hill.”
A short time afterward the merchants
and shipowners of Baltimore resolved to
present the little ship to General Wash
ington. Commodore Barney took it
down the hill, launched it in the basin
aid then, with a crew of Baltimore sea
captains, navigated the vessel to the
Chesapeake bay and up the Potomac
river to Mount Vernon, where it was
formally presented lo General Wash
ington. Captains and crew were hos
pitably entertained and Washington re
turned his thanks. —Baltimore Sun.
How Icicles are Made,
If a person, upon looking out of the
window, should say—as he might at this
hour —“ What large icicles are forming
on the eaves of the barn!” one could tell
pretty well what the weather is, and has
been. What are icicles? Perhaps some
of you will answer: “They are sticks of
ice, -long—long enough lor cancs some
times—usually more or less ridged and
rough, tapering down to a pretty sharp
point—everybody knows what icicles
are!” How are they formed ? Some say
they grow, but do they grow as children
do, or cats, or even corn or apples ? Do
they grow on the inside or outside?
How does an icicle start ? But to answer
this question, is the weather freezing or
thawing when these hanging sticks of ice
begin to form? Freezing, of course;
but there must be water running down
the roof and off the eaves, to begin with.
Icicles form then after a thaw,when the
weather sets in cold and the temperature
is below freezing. As the drops of water
arrive at the edge of the eaves, or “ the
jumping off place,” they become so cold
that they cannot jump but become soHd.
Along come some more drops and
spread out over those that have gone
before and have frozen stiff, and become
a thin film of ice, but the tendency to
run down causes the stick of forming ice
to lengthen out toward the ground by
the water running down and freezing at
the end. The water keeps coming down,
and as it strikes the ice of the icicle it
runs along, a film freezing all the time.
Thus it increases in size and length by
the constant freezing of layers of water
on the outside. If the temperature is
but just a little below the freezing point,
the icicle will be longer and more slen
der than when the change of weather is
sudden and the cold is severe—they will
then be quite short and “stubbed.”
Some children are very fond #f eating
these cold hard sticks, but they are not
good.— American Agriculturist,
Harvesting on a Largo Dakota Farm.
Ride over these fertile fields ot Da
kota, and behold the working of this
latest triumph of American genius.
You are in a sea of wheat. On the
farms managed by Oliver Dalryraple
are 13,000 acres in one field. There are
other farmers who cultivate from 160 to
6,000 acres. The railroad train rolls
through mi ocean of grain. Pleasant
the music of the rippling waves as the
west wind sweeps over the expanse.
We encounter a squadron" of war
chariots, not such as once swept over
the Delta of the Nile in pursuit of an
army of fugitive Israelites, not such as
the warriofs of Rome Were wont to
drive, with glittering knives projecting
from the axles to mow a swath through
the ranks of an enemy, to drench the
ground with blood, to cut down the
human race, as if men were noxious
weeds, but chariots of peace, doing the
work of human hands for the sustenance
of men. There are twenty-five of them in
this one brigade of the grand army of
115, under the marshalship of this Da
kota farmer. A superintendent upon
a superb horse, like a brigadier direct
ing his forces, rides along the line, ac
companied by his staff of two on horse
back. They are fully armed and
equipped, not with swords, but the im
plements of peace—wrenches, hammers,
chisels. They are surgeons in waiting,
with nuts and screws or whatever may
be needed.
The brigade of horse artillery sweeps
by in echelon —in close order, reaper fol
lowing reaper. There is a sound of
wheels. The grain disappears an in
stant, then reappears; iron arms clasp
it, hold it a moment in their embrace,
wind it with wire, then toss it disdain
fully at your feet. You hear in the rat
tling of the wheels the mtebanism sa>-
ing to itself, “ See how easy I can do
it!”
An army of “ shockers ” follow the
reapers, setting up the bundles to ripen
before threshing. The reaping must or
dinarily all be done in fifteen days, else
the grain becomes too ripe. The first
fields harvested, therefore, are cut be
fore the ripening is complete. Each
reap er averages about fifteen acres per
day, and is drawn by three horses or
mules.
The reaping ended, threshing begins.
Again memory goes back to early years,
to the pounding out of grain upon the
threshing floor with the flail—the slow,
tedious work of the winter days. Poets
no more will rehearse the music of the
flail. The picture for February in the old
“Farmer’s Almanac” is obsolete. Sep
tember is the month for threshing, the
thresher doing its 600 or 700 bushels per
day, driven by a steam-engine ot six
teen horse-power. Remorseless that
sharp-toothed devourer, swallowing its
food as fast as two men can cut the wire
bands, requiring six teams to supply its
demand ! And what a cataract of grain
pours from its spout, faster than two
men can bag it!
The latest triumph' of invention in
this direction is a straw-burning engine,
utilizing the stalks of the grain for fuel.
The cost of raising wheat per bushel
is from thiity-five to forty cents; the
average yield, fropa Vwenty to twenty
five bushels per acre. The nearness of
these lands to Lake Superior, and the
rates established by the railroad—fifteen
cents per bushel from any point be
tween Bismarck and Duluth—give the
Dakota farmers a wide margin of profit.
Since the first furrow was turned in
the Red River valley, in 1870, there has
been no failure of crops from drought,
excessive rains, blight, mildew, rust, or
other influence of climatology. The
chinclibug has not made its appearance;
the grasshoppers alone have troubled
the farmers, but they have disappeared,
and the fields are smiling with bounty.
With good tilth, the farmer may count
upon a net return of from eight to ten
dollars per acre per annum. The em
ployment of capital lias accomplished a
beneficent end, by demonstrating that
the region, instead of being incapable of
settlement, is one of the fairest sections
of the continent. Nor is it a wonder
that the land-offices are besieged by eini
grants making entries, or that the sur'
veyors find the lands “ squatted ” upon
before they can survey them; that hotels
are crowded; that on every hand there
is activity. During the months of May,
June and July, 1879, the sales of govern
ment land were nearly 700,000 acres, and
the entries for the year will probahly
aggregate 1,500,000, taken in homestead,
pre-emption, and tree claims. There
are other millions of acres, as fair and
fertile, yet to be occupied.— C. C. Coffin,
in Harper's Magazine.
The dramatic editor of a French paper
had occasion recently to criticise the
performance of a somewhat popuhnr
actress. Shortly afterward the lover of
the young ladyfmet the journalist in the
theater, and presented him with a pack
age of goose-quills. “This, sir,” said
he, ‘‘is a present from Mrs. H.” “What!”
exclaimed the critic, “did she tear all
of these out of you herself? How you
must have suffered!”

NATURE’S REMEDY. \
VEGETIHK*
JHC&BUTBLOODjJjWriC^r
FEVER AND AGUE.
TarbobO, Hi 0., 1878.
Db.H. R. Stevens: , , , , . .
Dear Sir—l feel very grateful for what your
valuable medicine, Vegetink, baa done In my
family. I wish to express my thanks by Informing
you df the Wonderful cure of my son ; also to let
you know that tF.GEniE la the beet medicine I
ever saw for Chills, Shakes, Fever and Ague My
son was sick with measles In 1873. Which left him
with Hip-joint disease. My son suffered 6 great deal
of pain, all of the time ; the pain was bo great he did
nothing but cry. The doctors did not help him a
particle; he could not lift hia foot from the floor; he
could not move without crutches. I read your
advertisement in the “ Louisville Courier-Journal, ’
that Vkgetine was a great Blood Pnrifler and
Blood Food. 1 tried one bottle, which was a great
benefit. He kept on With the medicine, gradually
gaining, He has taken eighteen bottle# in all. and
he is completely restored to health, walks without
crutches or cane. He is twenty years of age. I
have a younger son fifteen years of age, who is sub
ject to Chills. Whenever he feels one coming on,
he comes in, takes a dose of \ egetine and that is
the last of the Chill. Vegktine leaves no bad effect
upon the system like most of the medicines recom
mended for Chills. I cheerfully recommend Vkge
tine for such complaints. I think it is the greatest
medicine in the world.
Respectfully, Mrs. J. W. LLOYD.
Vegetink.—When the blood becomes lifeless and
diagnant, either from change of weather or of cli
mate, want of exercise, irregular diet, or from any
other cause, the Vkgetink will renew the blood,
carry off the nutrid humors, cleanse the stomach,
regulate the bowels, and impart a tone of vigor to
the whole body.
Druggists’ Testimony.
Mb. H. R. Stevens :
Dear Sir—We have been selling your remedy, the
Vegetine, for about three years, and take pleasure
in recommending it to our customers, and in no
instance whore a blood purifier would reach the
case, has it ever failed to effect a cure, to our
knowledge. It certainly is the ne plus ultra of
renovators. Respectfully,
E. M. SHEPHERD k CO., Druggists,
Mt. Vernon, 111.
