A TOUCH OT BLACK.
Parisian modistes are fevering a
touch of black in their creations, but
they use it merely as a touch and are
careful not to make a costume somber
by its introduction. A new fancy in
mack is tbe use of several different
kinds of silk is one dress, such as tbs
skirt of corded silk, the wsist of surah
sad tbs Eton jacket of moire; or the
skirt of satis, the waist of fancy
taffeta and the jacket of moire. A
favorite combination with 'Worth just
now is black tulle with blade satin.
Black and white makt a mixture still
in favor, and black is used with pale
delicate ooiors, whose deliosoy it sets
off by tils contract of its dark back¬
ground. A shads of blue called
“bluet” is the prevailing tint expected it
to rage, but, while pretty in itself,
is a trying color and will prove death
and destruction to many juxtaposition complexions
that will be forced into
with it. Elegant dresses of white or
black laoe are draped over plain silk
skirts.

COTTON 18 SHORT.
A Decline of Over Three Points From
September.
Returns to the statistical division of
the department of agriculture for the
month of October, make cotton show a
decline of 3.2 points from its Septem¬
ber condition, which was 85.9, as
against 82.7 lor the present month.
The condition of cotton in June was
88.3, in Jnly 89.6, rising to 91.8 in'
August.
The lessened prospective yield in
the states of North Carolina and South
Carolina is dne, in part, to the storm
which occurred in the latter part of
September. For the most part, how¬
ever, the decline in the condition
through the cotton belt is due to con¬
tinued rains that began about the mid¬
dle of August and extended into Sep¬
tember. There iB much of shedding,
rot and just reported, as a conse
quenoe and in addition no little loss
from insect ravages, particularly the
boll worm.
Texaa is the only exception to the
general falling off in condition, that
state having gained fonr points, not¬
withstanding the excessive rainfall in
some parts of the state. The percent¬
ages by states are as follows:
wirginia, 89; North Carolina, 81.3;
8onth Carolina, 79; Georgia, 79; Flor¬
ida, 71,9; Alabama, 84; Mississippi,

Marriage Under Difficulties.
When young New Englanders in the
early dSys of the colony wished to en
ter the state of matrimony did
not find it any too easy work,
first place, no young man would “make
a motion of marriage” to any young
woman whose fair face or deft fingers
or sweet disposition affections had withont attracted his
fancy or his first ob¬
taining the consent of the fair one’s
father or guardian to thus address her.
He was liable to arrest, fine or impris¬
onment if he spoke to her first and
thus “inveigled her affections.”
Many a bold and headstrong swain
was punished for that natural offense
in early days, and I doubt not many
another slyly inveigled, unpunished
and undiscovered, in order to find
ont from her own lips the state of af¬
fection borne toward him by the one
he loved. It most h^ve been some¬
what of a damper on lovemaking to
have to make such a formal beginning,
but there was no lack of marriages.
Indeed, single persons were much
scorned in the Puritan community.
“Ancient maids” were few and much
to be pitied. Bachelors were looked
upon with open disfavor, were not al¬
lowed to live alone and sometimes had
to pay a weekly fine to the town as
long as they remained single. With
all these penalties it was plain that all
would seek to marry early in life.—

Nickel Steel the Coming Metal.
Though nickel was used for coins
two centuries before Christ, it is only
recently that the discovery of the re¬
markable properties of its alloy with
steel has brought it into general tensile com¬
mercial prominence. The
strength of this alloy—nearly one-fifth
greater than that of ordinary steel,
while its ductility remains the same—
will doubtless cause it to supplant
common steel in many places where
great strength is required. For in¬
stance, the American Atlantic liner
PariB has been supplied with a spare
length of shafting of this alloy. It is
said that this casting has a tensile
strength of about 90,000 pounds, thus
leaving existing British or German
steel shafts quite a respectable distance
in the rear. The production of nickel
has increased within ten years from
1,000 tons per annum to over 5,000
tons, while before 1876 not more than
600 tons were produced notioeable in any increase one
year. The most
has been in the manufacture of nickel
steel, ostensibly for armor plates and
guns, bnt it iB not likely that its ubo
will stop here, especially as the price
tends steadily downward .—Age

Liquids in Equilibrium.
—
Here is an interesting feat of color¬
blending which can be performed all the at
the dinner table, where visually
ingredients can be found. A tall,
narrow stem glass is the best. Four
funnels are made of cardboard, the
ends being turned lover so as to form
a spout-like arrangement. poured into
The first liquid which is
the glass is cold black coffee, well
sweetened. After this the funnels are
nsed. A like quantity of water oomes
next, which is poured through a funnel,
the bended edge of which is held close
to the edge of the glass. For third
claret iB used, olive oil for the fourth
and alcohol last. All the liquids arc
poured in as described through the
separate funnels. Each of these liq¬
uids floats on top of the other, for each
is specifically lighter in weight than
the preceding one. The liquids will
remain in repose as long as the glass
is not moved. The secret lies in the
oarefnl pouring in of the liquids
through tbe paper funnels. ' .
