FASHION FANCIES. GOME INTERESTING HINTS AOAPTEO TO THE SEASON. Style* Will tl»|«r-A In Collar* Mow t* Hava ul Show Off a Pretty Week— A Striking KvenlnS Cartage. Fashions change slowly after the height of the summer season has been readied. It to * long step still to winter attire and furs, and it u* noticeable of late years that the most fashionable cling longest to rummer fabrics and stylos. The reason ii that the opening of the social season in the cities has been relegated to as late a p riod as possible, and those in the social swim prefer to linger as long as possible rt the summer resorts, and to postpone iiie wearing of heavier fabrics until they return to their city homes. Still, there are ra.*ny suggestions appro¬ priate to the “betwixt and between " season so soon to be upon us. Large white collars are becoming very fashion¬ able, and seem to have bean introduced for the purpose of smartening up a dark print or plain woolen dress. They may be either round or square, either with or without a neck¬ band, but ti.sy must always be iarye enough to cover the shoulders and reach to the seam of the armhole. They may lie made of cro¬ chet work, guipure em¬ broidery, or even of fine lace; it, the latter instance the collars can be worn with elegant toilets. The addition of large cuffs, such as were worn by both men and women in former centuries, is a mat¬ ter now left to individual taste, without any rule or restriction, Here is a design for a homo made gown, appropriate for weor during the early as well as late fall, and that is particularly designed to show off a pretty neck. A health writer gives some interesting potato as to the means of securing such a neck. In the first place don’t take off l our corsets, but (Kisen them. O t course, they are not tight now, and yon could turn around in them without un¬ fastening the clasps, i but untie the locos fi and let your long, deep inhalations fix their size for a little while. Every night and every morning throw your hands back unfit they strike m ,.t* behind ten, 100 then times. you~at 20, 50, With lust and 'i your cheat held high and your eyes on the frieze of tho room, take 20 full breaths, inhaled slowly and exhaled forcibly. Turn your bead slowly around on the trunk one way until you see a few con¬ stellations, and then give it a few turns tho other way, all very slowly and care¬ fully, aud only a few time* hr tlie begin¬ ning. You have heard all this before, but have you tried it? And If you did try it how many nights ip the week did you forget it, and how many mornings were you toe late to spend time ? And while you are working thus alwut your neck your arms will have boon growing plumper and fuller all tho time above tlie elbows, and if you take a pair of 'dumb¬ bells and turn them sharply and vigor¬ ously iu your bands, the hands dow n at the sides, eight times, the hands stretched out at the side the same number of times, •Might in front of you, over your bead each eight times, you will know by the aching muscles iu your forearm that you have exercised them most decidedly. The main i>oiut is always sustained rather than erratic effort. The illustration shows a striking new evening corsage of fuille Francaise. de¬ scribed «r follows! “Close fitting body with V shaped front with vest finished with lane; the waist Une and neck are trimmed with feath¬ er bauds, and a roll¬ ing collar of ostrich af? feathers is set across the back ; full sleeve puffs of tlie silk with waist trimming of J folds of lace from the 5 armholes to ths tofl waist line in front' with loops and ends 4' of ribbon. Two and one quarter yards of eiik required. Vel¬ vet bodices, trimmed with fine gold passe¬ menterie, have vests beneath of gold dot¬ ted net or crepe do Chino, and a Medici collar, also gold trimmed. Other half open coinages have Russian chemisettes <*f very rich lace, or they have full Mo!tore 1 routs fastened to a silk under bodice, thus allowing the corsage to fail open at each side of this vest. The edges of tho bodice are ta.rdered with silk and gold embroidery in points. Fashionable mod¬ istes are making dainty chemisettes of cream white, pink, or blue surah, or l>a- tiste, to lie worn with tlie open throated toilettes they are finishing for summer morning wear. They are made with turn over collar, edged with Valenciennes lace about two inches wide, and are in fine tucks down the front with a ruffle of tlie lace at tlie edge. Uudereleoves to match have deep turnback cuffs finished with the lace. Note*. A crownlass bonnet Bhows bows, hack and front, and ties of piece velvet, with four pink roses without foliage at the back. Poplin petticoats are a novelty, and will no doubt prove successful, as they are more serviceable than the ordinary glace silk: A largo black Leghorn curiously bent to trimmed with a wreath of Maltnatoon pink roses and a hoad band of velvet of the same shade. A rurlous mixture of color on a Mack hat to arranged to blend In perfect har¬ mony. A wreath of jp-een oate, with large bows of piece velvet in yellow and bfuo. It b predicted that flowers will be worn on bate until late in the winter, and that piece bate velvet will be greatly wore a* entire and bonnete, trimmings and ttea; and certainly nothing can lie more uni¬ versally becoming or richer in appear- anoo. Suede, apricot, argentine gray, mign¬ onette, raspberry red, silver blue, also soft tints shut with color are among the driving or auet cio&xs ot ngm uuiaftu, silk, worn in open Victorina and village carte at the various summer resorts. A coaching parasol and pretty French toque are very frequently es suite. For the fashionable parts of London the long jackets and cream silk brocaded waistcoats would seem to be the most popular garment for general wear, and hate grow larger as the months go by. Waists have lengthened visibly and di¬ minished apparently in circumference, but this effect is produced by the wide revers at the neck. Cloth grounds in dull check effects in marine blue, bluish gray and bronze are among the most salable stuffs for ulsters for the fall. The dull, barely visible checks are formed by very small stripes. With a few tines skillfully arranged are obtained effect* which have made these goods great favorites. Large and small checks are equally represented. Fine lace and openwork effects are no¬ ticeable among the season's meet costly and elegant garnitures, the embroidered and silk applique trimmings, resembling guipure and chanting in design, while the iHiasomehtories which show thegown through the pattern have a lace like ef¬ fect in keeping with light, beautiful fab¬ rics, which they decorate. The effective fillet trimmings are again In fashionable use, the graceful devices filled In with lace stitchoe and twisted eiik braids. Pretty and girlish dresses of crepon or silk are finely plaited to a sharp point front and back, with ths fullness carried to the top, cut out round to show ths arch of the throat to tho shoulders, and simply finished with a standing frill of luce. The trimming le merely gros grain ribbon, two and one-half Inches wide, twisted along the edge of the watet, and knotted behind with loops and ends. Shoulder knots are added of several loops mossed together, and there are two bands of ribbon around each sleeve, the one pushing up the fulness at the top, other as a wrist trimming, tied in a love knot bow on tho outer arm. HOME MATTER*. flensonnbte Suggestion* unit Itverjrtnjr Hint* to Practical Housekeeper*. Nothing made with sugar, eggs, and milk should roach the boiling point. Tlie molasses to be used for ginger¬ bread to greatly improved by being first boiled, then skimmed. Do not salt beef before or while cook¬ ing, as it draws ©at the Jutee*, Which, in boiling especially, are thereby lost. It to a fact worth remembering that persons aifflcte*) with acidity of the stom¬ ach should not Indulge Aire in oold drinks. Blankets and out away well sprinkled with borax ami done up air tight will never be troubled with moths. Onions should be soaked in suited warm water previous to cooking to par tly re¬ move any strong odor they rpay possess. A little sugar a ided to beets, corn, squash, peas,etc.,during or after cooking will improve them, particularly if poor. Select tho meat of an old rather than a young animal for soups. It Is more nu¬ tritious aud has a more pronounced flavor. Iu making custard, pumpkin, or lemon pies it is better to partly bake the crust before adding the mixture, so that It may not be absorbed by the paste. If a little cornstarch is put in the Halt for the table it will keep it from lumping and the pretty little shakers will not have so hard a scolding iu damp weather. The white of an egg, with a little water mid sugar, to good for children who are troubled with an Irritable stomach. It’ to very healing and will prove an excel¬ lent remedy for diarrhoea, «* well ns a simple preventive for bowel disorders. Macaroni should be used much more than it to. It to a very good substitute for potatoes when that vegetable to scarce and high. Many physicians object seri¬ ously to the use of old potatoes after they have begun to sprout, and on their own tables use macaroni instead. Tho sim¬ ple ways of preparing this everybody knows. Recipe for the Removal of Freck¬ les.—A qua ammonia, two ounces; bay rum, 12 ounces; rose water, two ounces; borax, two ounces; glycerine, one ounce; water, 16 ounces; alcohol, two ounces.

Butt as many men ns women wear garters in this city, but that statement would be manifestly inaccurate. Still I think 1 can say truly that the use of the garter among men to more general in Boston than in any other city in the country. A few years ago tho use of the garter among men was confined quite exclu-, sively to the swell yonug fellows about town and to the dudes. But within the last five years the use of the garter has been very rapidly extended, and now the leg circlet to quite as Indispensable a feat¬ ure of the toilet as th* cravat, "Twenty years ago the garter was not used by men at all, except in some few exceptional instanoes. But the tailor tells the young man ot fashion to-day tliat his trousers will not hang well un¬ less he usee a garter, and the manufact¬ urers advertise to tlie effect that the ap¬ pearance of a man’s apparel depends a great deal more on the dee of the garter than does the appearance of a womans drees. Unless a man’s stocking to smooth and well held up the trousers are likely to bag uud wrinkle, and trousers are im- proved more by well fitting undercloth- ing than by patent leg stretchers. ” ai’WECTI rok TBOVOhT. There is value in experiment. Lo o to mutual understanding. The reward of one duty done is the power to fulfil another. Magnanimity owes no account to pru¬ dence of ita motives. General tidiness not only pays on its own account, but because to be tidy is to be economical. If everybody knew what one said of juiother, there would not be four friends left in the world. There probably never was a man so good that he- did not hope in his heart that his successor would be a failure. To lie always intending to lead a new life, but never to find time to set ataiut it, is as if a man should put off eating and drinking from one day to another, till lie is starved and destroyed. Some (teople scorn to be taught, others are ashamed of it, as they would be of going to school when they are old; hut it is never too late to leam what it is al- ways necessary to know. And it is no shame to learn so long as we are ignorant —that is to say, so long as we live. Punishment is fruit that, unsuspected, ripens within the flower of the pleasure which concealed it. Cause and effect, means and end, seed and fruit can not be severed, for tho effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in tho means, the fruit in the seed. Every individual owes obedience to something, and there can be no oltedi- eneo without authority. Indeed freedom, rightly understood, imposes the most solemn obligations of all. 'When no human control binds a man, he is bound w'ith tho greater stress to obey the rigid, to bow to the authority of conscience, to live up to his highest ideal. Of no use are the men who study to do exactly as was done before, who can never understand that to-day is a new day. Wo want men of original action, who can open their eyes wider tluin to a nationality, namely, to considerations of iieneiit to the human race, ean act in the interest of civilization; men of elastic, men of moral mind, who can live in tho moment and take a step forward. There are things that could never grow familiar. Daybreak is oner Tjjero is al¬ ways mystery about it. It is liko com¬ ing to life again after death. You have been away you don’t know where, and you come back again to the world, ami when you find it as it is now, belonging almost to yourself, all the other people as No, good as out of it, it is very strange. I am not afraid of becoming too familiar with beautiful things. There has been so much justly said about the prejudicial effects of overwork, especially in using up the powers of man and cutting short his life, that it may he hastily assumed by some that work itself .Is opposed to length of days. This, how¬ ever, is a fatal mistake,. Whatever may I*' proved concerning the comparative tendencies of different employments to shorten life, it will always be found that s life of idleness will surpass them all. The faculties of man, used and not ■liaised, serve not only to benefit the world, but even more to bonofit himself. His health, happiness, and length of life depend largely upon the regular, steady, and full—not excessive—employment of his powers. He who neglects this law, ami suffers them to run to waste, lead¬ ing an aimless and vacant life, will reap the penalty quite as much in his own inferior condition, physical and mental, as in any external loss he may sustain, WIT AND WISDOM. Money made by chance will go with certainty. Happiness can always be found in a dictionary. Worrying is mental cowardice in ai- most every one except yourself. IIRATU HAS Vo STING.

OEiriRAL r*njj JIOTKS. A silo may be of boards, stone, or cem- ent, and should be at least 12 feet deep. It is estimated that a silo 12 feet square is large enough for 25 cows. This may vary, however, according to the kind ot cows and how the ensilage is fed. There is one advantage in giving the compost heap attention, and that is the destruction of the seeds of weeds by the heating of the manure. Borne heaps are not sufficiently subjected to the heating process, especially when exposed to cold rains and snows. If the manure is care¬ fully attended to, in order to secure the decomposition of the manorial substances therein, the, killing of the seeds of noxious weeds will alone pay for any work- be¬ stowed on the heap. Mutton sheep make a greater gain of flesh than steers, according to experi¬ ments made. At the Wisconsin station the food required to produce 100 pounds of wether lamb was 384 pounds corn, 280 jKiunds corn silage, 158 pounds corn fishier, and 22 pounos potatoes. To pro¬ duce 100 pounds on the steer required 804 pounds corn, 181 pounds bran, and 654 pounds silage. The results showed that silage was also an excellent food for the sheep as well as for the steer. Economy in labor is more necessary than in any other expenditure. Labor is the most costly item of expense tliat the farmer has to meet. It may not be to his advantage to lessen the number of persons employed as help, but the labor should lx j properly applied. Systematic management and performing the neces¬ sary work at the proper time and with¬ out delay will save waste of time and give a profit from the labor itself. It is labor that gives the value to ali the prod¬ ucts of the farm. Even the bees make the quality of their honey according to the kind of food or flowers from which it in procured. Emi- Bent authoritiee on bee culture state that when been are fed scorched honey the honey in the combs did not differ there¬ from. Tho same results occurred when granulated honey was foil to the bees. Honey can therefore be adulterated in the combe. Glucose, when fed to bees, to deposited in the combs as glucose, and it has long been known that certain flowers produced honey of a much su¬ perior quality to that derived from other flowers. A Hervteeeblr Meadow Smoother. The man on the mowing machine din- likes to jolt over the bogs, and to ruu a mower on rough land soon spoils it. Aside from this, to leave a meadow full of bogs looks shiftless, and is poor farm¬ ing.

Thorn who have tried it know that it Is next to im¬ possible to dig or pull out the good sized meadow taiga, and tho old, slow, labo¬ rious way of cutting them off with a bog boo to an expensive process. Yet the remedy to a cheap one, and lies useless in many a barn. Take a worn out section bar of a mowing machine holding the knives that play in tlie cutting bur, mortise it into the under side of the wooden sled slice, or other¬ wise attach it to the sled runner, so that it will slide on the ground at a slight angle, as seen in the sketch. Some fine day, when the meadow is cleared of hay, hitch on to the sled and see how neatly anil speedily it will slice oft the bog tope, It is a success and a conqueror. Put on a box, and let one man follow tho planer sled with a fork and pitch on every hog ns fast as it to cut off. Dried they make a hot fire, and should be saved for fuel for the kitchen fire during the warm weather. Give Sheep Range, Sheep should bo kept in dry sheds; they don’t liko to be too closely confined. There should lie a yard that they can ho turned into when it to pleasant weather, but they should be well housed from all storms. Farmers moke a great mistake in not housing their stock in tho fall of the year, and no stock suffers more by lining exposed to those oold rains than the,sheep; some years (for Instance tho l:wt) with tho best of care they will die, and no one can tell why. Sheep also like a change of feed; they liko to pick the leaves from tlie brier as well in the winter as in tlie summer. Advantage* of Good Stock. Our natives should bo more rapidly re¬ placed by full blood and high gradestock.

As an attraction to the country it presents its iiossession of a real live. Indian prin- tins. Noi every city, says the Seattle J\mt-Intellige*etr. is so fa voted that it can boast of a real, live princess who walks the streets every day. But no stranger meeting this royal personag upon the street would recognize in her the nobility which she rightfully claims. Blie wean* no crown, unless a tangled li mss of half gray, half black hair, covered by a red bandanna handkerchief, can be construed to ixmstitute one; her robe of purple is an old red shawl; her queenly skirts are made of no richer material tlmns alico, and when she revels in the luxury of shoes, which is not often, they tire as unlike tlie traditional royal foot¬ gear as two old, water soaked, musty, dusty piece* of hard leather are unlike the finest pair of shoes ever turned out. Princess Angelina, the daughter of the Indian chief Seattle, for whom this city was named, is one of the most familiar sights and at the same time one of tho most interesting to be seen in Seattle at the present time. h When George Francis Train was going to start around the world for Tacoma a purse of several thousand dollars was raised to seud Angeilne with him, as a counter advertisement for Seattle. A delegation visited her to propose tho scheme. To their surprise, however, site refused to go, saying that her father would lie so mad at her running off with a crazy man that he would turn over in his grave. So slie stayed at home. Many years ago Chief Seattle, her father, was the head of a tribe number¬ ing many people, probably 600 to 700, in¬ cluding women and children. The old chief was very friendly to the whites who came to Alki Point in 1852, and within a few years there came a time when ids friendship stood the pioneers in good stead. War broke out among the -r \ M % ; ANOKLINK. Indians, and for a while the Bottlers had to look sharp to the safety of their fam¬ ilies and themselves as they went about their work in the thick forests. Pat Kanim and Seattle, two chiefs, who, un¬ like the savage leaders of other tribes, re¬ fused to slaughter the whites, were al¬ ways held in high esteem by the early settlers. To Dr. Maynard, many years dead, is ascribed the act of naming tho city after Chief Beattie, and Mrs, Dr. Maynard, according to Angeline, has the credit for naming the princess herself. So great was the respect in which Chief Seattle was held that last fall a fine monument was erected over tlie old In¬ dian’s grave at Port Madison. The in¬ scription on this monument gave the name of the dead chief as “Sealth," which more nearly resembles the name ns pro¬ nounced by the Indians. djngeline to probably about 80 years old, but her withered skin and bent form make her appear 20 years older thau that.

There to time enough to do many things, if the person to seriously concen¬ trated in his work, and does not squan¬ der his mind and his time by hard work. Nothing to so bad as that. There are many persons who think they are work¬ ing, when in truth they are only dawd¬ ling over their work with half attention. There to time enough thrown away every day to enable any one of earnest mind to do more than many a man does with lito whole day. It to good for us to commemorate this homespun past of ours; good in these days of reckless prosperity, to remind ourselves how poor our fathers were, and that we celebrate them because for them¬ selves and their children they chose wis¬ dom and understanding and the things that are of God, rather than any other riches. Intellectual possessions, valuable as they are, can not of themselves refine their owner. If he has in his heart tho alloy of selfishness or ingratitude, or self conceit, or contempt for those less learned than himself, he lacks true refinement in spite of all his knowledge. When you make a mistake don’t look back at it long. Take the reason of tho thing into your own mind, and then look forward. Mistakesare lessons of wisdom. The past can not be changed; the future is yet in your power.
