Tiny lacc handkerchiefs arc used to

The glory of the gown now rests in thc
corsage, tho skirt being a secondary con¬
sideration.
Gauze striped ribbons arc extensively
used in millinery, and for tea gowns and
bull dresses.
Two or three rows of insertion above
the hem is the popular way of trimming
with embroidery.
Ecru linen batistes adorned with vio

for summer dresses.
Printed flannel, mousselin de laine and

Pointed tnes now prevail in ladies’
shoes. High heels are out. Plump feet

Some attractive novelties in parasol;
are made of shot silk, with two or three

AVide lace scarfs, which ornament many
of the newAiifs, fall in extreme lengths
at the back and are carried around the
neck and envelop the bodice in front.
Red is becoming thc dominant color
All shades of many colors are worn, bui
red is driving them out. Fhere will soon
be a spot of red on every bonnet, gown,
coat and dress,
An odd arrangement for a cloth dress
has a number of narrow folds forming
the center of the bodice and the center
of thc skirt, kept in place by crossway
bars of black velvet.
Straw passementeries are a millinery
novelty, and are to be had in thc regula

any bodice worn beneath.
The marked popularity of embroidery
remains unabated. So loving is the
fondness for threads that brocades arc
purchased and the figures raised with
outlines of colored silk. A little of this
is exceedingly pretty.
Brazilian Curiosity.
A stranger m a Brazilian city notices
that most of the houses are either pro
vided with window balconies, or hav;
their window-sills covered with cushions,
For the people, loving to see and to be
seen, lounge in the balcony or hang ovei
the sill, that they may show their interest
in every animal or human being that
masses. pa If a mansion is situated at sornt
distance from the street, there is a pretty
little summer-house near the gate, where
the family may sit aud see what goes on
outside,
Mr. Frank Vincent, in his latest book
of travels, “Around and About South
America,” says that in the private streets
of Rio may be seen the heads and most
window-sills of the bodies of women hangingover the
and minutely scrutinizing
every passerby. During business hours,
in thc busiest streets may be seen groups
of men standing and gossiping. The
doorways of the stores will be blocked by
merehnuts staring iuto the street.
If a customer enters a store, the mer
ehaut receives him with a nonchalant air,
as if he carednothing for money in coin
parisou with a lazy life. Often the mcr
chant answers that-he has not the article
the customer wishes; if the customer dis¬
covers it. the merchant smiles and arches
his eyebrows. Or the merchant, opening
a case and motioning the customer tc
search for what he has asked, returns to
the street-door and looks out. The
curiosity of the Brazilians is morbid.—

WENT TO CUT TIMBER.
The exact time at which timber should
be felled for durability is one of the
things each man can belt find out for
himself. The quality of timber depends
greatly on the treatment it receives after
felling and the uses to which it is put.
It is quite generally admitted that timber
trees should not he cut when filled with
sap, and the usual custom is to do it in the
dormant season, but whether early or late
iu the winter is not well determined, and
most people choose the time without much
regard to fall or winter. Where the tim¬
ber is to lie exposed and unseasoned in
the long winter climate of the North, I
prefer March. to December. For the
South midwinter would probably be pre¬
ferable, but to insure durability for farm
purposes I believe as much or more dc
pends on the care taken in seasoning it
as on the time when it is felled .—New

TO CONSTRUCT A CHEAP ICE HOUSE.
It is not at all necessary .that a family
ice house should be an expensive struc¬
ture, but, quite to the contrary; one
which will serve the purpose excellently'
and add to the attractions of a home¬
stead even may be cheap built, “A
building 32 feet square and 8 or !) feet
high is sufficient for the want of the most
exacting family. It may be a frame
building entirely above the surface of
the ground, and better if elevated on
posts a few inches high, to be certain of
good drainage. Built of joists 2x3
inches, with an outer boarding, having
inside another series of uprights, also
boarded, from six to ten inches removed
from the outer shell, with a solid floor
of plank, the space between the two
walls filled with tan-bark, saw-dust, or
chaff, and a roof of good pitch, the ice¬
house is complete. A drain for water
should be madelrom the floor, and thc
pitch of the roof filled with straw', hay,
or some similar dry, porous material. Ou
the roof should be a ventilator, the
defended from rain or snow. The ice
should be packed in one solid mas«
allowiug a space all around of from six
to twelve inches from the inner walls.
The top of the iee should be covered
with straw, and double doors made, one
on the outer aud the other in the inner
wall. Plant some climbing vine around
the building, training them to creep
over the walls and roof as.an additional
defense against the fervid, summer sun.
Such an ice-house would prove con
venient as a refrigerator, preserving
foods and the products of the dairy.”—

essential to success. Thc n-.i’t has been
not oniv a money S lo<-f ' ' but such ! ucil di* U i"
courag^ent L as has precluded . , further
ventures. Onions arc an expensive crop
to grow, and during their early stages
demand a great amount of steady and
hard work that is most unpleasant to re
member when tue effort has resulted only
in failure. Among the drawbacks to
success which betriimers will encounter,
arc:
First, the effort to do too much. Ic
seems, cm pa per, as if anyone shonld be
able to manage at least an acre of onion-,
F>ut if the onions have to take their
chance with a field of corn, or a potato
patch, or a good-sized garden; in short,
jf labor is not to be available for it just
when needed, without regard to the dc
mitnds of auv other crop, a few suuarc
rods will pay vastly better than an acre. ]
Second, the lack of proper ground.
Onion seeds are slow to germinate, and
if the soil is full of weed seeds they will
cover the ground before the onions are j
up, so that when the latter do come it i
wiil be a? difficult to find them as to find
the traditional needle in the haystack,
It is absolutely necessary that the ground i
to be used for onions should have been :
cultivated for at least two years prev
iously with hoed crops,
Third, scant or improper fertilizing.
The onion, during growth, absorbs an
immense quantity of the nutritive ele
ments of the soil, and it is not only re
quired that these shall be present in the
soil, but they must be in such form as to
be readily assimilated. Coarse barnyard
manure, newly made, would be of little
value; but the same, well worked into
the soil the previous season, would help
^ f° r use tbe following year,
Fourth, inadequate preparation of the
soil. If the soil is not put in the finest
mechanical condition before planting,
failure will be pretty certain. It will b«
futile to attempt to remedy this ’defect
hy subsequent cultivation, as the only
implements that e«n be used are such
light ones as the hoe, steel rake, garden
band plow, and band weeder, The seeds
are vei 7 smu iD iU1( I have a tough epider
n hs. It is folly to expect them to germi
na te if lodged among clods. The surface
soil, for a depth of two inches, must be
as fine and mellow as the roller and steei
rake can make it.
Fifth, if all these drawbacks can be
succ es * h * n y av ° ided > and Pf> r seed is
used, 1 failure will yet result. It is hardly
conceivable that any precaution for as¬
suring one's self regarding the quality of
the seed should be neglected, especially
when it is so easy to “make assurance
doubly sure.’* A hundred seeds soavu in
a box of rich soil, and kept warm and
moist upon a kitchen shelf, will tell the
story within a fortnight. Ninety per
cent, of the seeds should g'erminate, and
unless at least seventy-five per cent, do,
it will not pay to use it.
If one is able to comply with all these re¬
quisites, can successfully weather droughts
and floods, has the capacity for iufinite

Our acts make or mar us; we are the

Avoid s h a me, but- do not seek glory,
Nothing is so expensive as glory,
A deep moral hurt leaves its traces as

Poverty is the only burden which

Fixing Up Injured Dolls.
A little girl not long since wrote to
the New' York News to know where she
could get a new head for her dollie,
which she dearly loved. She was fur¬
nished with the information through the
“Answers to Correspondents” column.
The reporter, thinking that there might
be many other little girls whose dolls
needed hospital treatment, made some
investigation about the subject. He
found that dolls could be furnished, be¬
sides heads, with new arms, legs, wigs
and eyes, and the latter, when they re¬
fused to close when bedtime came, could
be made to do so.
Heads for French dolls avith real bait
may be had for from $1.50 to $5, while
those for German dolls are worth from
thirty-five cents to $3.50. The eyes of
French dolls are stationary, but when
the movable eyes of the German dolls get
out of order they can be mended at a
cost of from thirty-five cents to$l. The
heads of both classes of dolls are of
bisque, but the French heads are much
finer, being nearly transparent, and the
faces much more beautifully molded.
Sometimes these heads are furnished
with ear-rings. Wigs of real hair cost
from fifty cents to $2.
Tho German dolls are the finest that
are made, and range in price from a few
dollars to $100, or even more when ac
comjianied, as they sometimes are, by an
extensive wardrobe.
What are known in the trade as tone
dolls, that is, those who say “papa and
mamma,” are of German manufacture.
When they become dumb they can have
speech restored by proper treatment. It
costs from fifty cents upward. If a doll
loses its arm or leg it can obtoin a new
one for from fifty cents to $1.
No operation has yet been performed
on the latest novelties in the doll line,
those that recite “Little Bo-Peep,” “Two
Little Blackbirds Sat on a Hill,” “Jack

A Pathetic Trip to Prison.
A middle-aged woman, dressed in an
olive green cloth Newmarket, and carry¬
ing a skye terrier, tried to gain admis¬
sion into the smoking car of the Pough¬
keepsie train which left the Grand Cen¬
tral depot the other morning. The con¬
ductor said: “No dogs are admitted
there. That is the smoking car, madam.”
“Please let me in,” she pleaded, and she
appealed to the conductor so earnestly
that he allowed her to enter.
Rapidly walking up the centre of the
smoking car the woman took a vacant
seat next to a smooth shaven, stout, but
somewhat seedy-looking man, and kissed
him. The man was handcuffed to two
others who sat on the opposite seat, one
of whom was a colored man. They were
convicts on their way to Sing Sing to
work out their sentences. The stout man
was the woman’s husband, The little
skve terrier was so glad to see his former
master that , he t. literally licked i away the
tears that trickled down the prisoners
cheeks.
The man and woman conversed ear¬
nestly in an undertone, and as soon as
the train was in motion the woman pulled
out a thick roll of greenbacks and drew
the man’s attention to them, as though
to assure him that she was not unpro
vided for.
Then the train peddler came along and
the woman bought six of the very best
cigars he had, and forced them upon the
short man, who gave a couple apiece to
his fellow-prisoners. The scene was so
pathetic that more than one passenger
soughed aud wiped his nose energetically
:o conceal his emotion. The prisoner
was George AA'iison, who will serve three
and a half years for burglary .—New York

sacred insect among the Egyptians, tho

one. In Germany it is said to indicate
good downward luck to have a spider spin his luck xveb

God’s blessing, so that wax is necessary
in the celebration of mass. The ancients
generally maintained that there was a
close connection between bees and the
