GOTHAM'S ODDEST BONNET.
About the oddest bonnet in New
York la a jet turkey gobbler. No one
who looks at him can dispute his
identity. He lacks the red throat, to
be sure, but lug tail is spread for an
on-rush, and ho looks quite fierce
•nough to frighten the children who
say “gobb'e-gobble” at liitn, which is
the chief aim in existence for most
turkey gobblers. Behind his erect
tail is a fan of black tulle, aud the
body and head aie supported by a
soft black velvet fold.—[New York

FOB A BUSINESS SUIT.
Do not get cheap materials for a
business suit; they are by far the most
expensive in tho Jong ran. Get thor
OUghly good material for a dress that
is to be worn at business every day,
and in making it up follow tho fash¬
ions at a respectful distance. And
hero is auotlior important little tip to
remember. Don’t neglect to pit 1
pockets in the dross, and put them
Where they can bo easily got at. In
the skirt, over the sides, is the most
convenient place to put them. A good
Way to finish them is with a pointed
lapel which buttons over the pocket.

THE BONY MAIDEN’S INNINGS.
Tho bony maiden will rejoice for
the new styles are just her stylo ex¬
actly. There aro, among other things,
Walkiug-jackelB, with high, flaring
collar, still shoulder-capos looped up
with rosette*, leg-o’-muttou sleeves,
and a lialf-girdle fastened in from
with a third rosette. Tho dressos are
all short, all wiilo, all trimmed, and
all silk ruffles inside; the waists are
all short, with girdles, ham-shaped
sleeves, and zouave jacket-pieces of
flaring brotolles of the material, lined
and trimmed to mnko them still more
assertive. Even tho silk shirt-waists,
to wear with shop-made jackets and
skirts, are bunched up and puffed up
with extravagant ruffles, collur-capos,
and gathered sleeves thirty-six inches
wide at tho top. Vorlly tho attenuated
damsel will bo vory deceptive when
she is dressed in her new suit.— [Sau

A NOVEL GAUMENT.
A novel and charming garment lias
mado its appotnance iu Paris. It is
moant to lie in readiness at tho side of
the bed aud within easy reach, to slip
ou over your nightgown if you rise
for a moment or so, or to wear when
crossing to tho bathroom in the tnoru
lug. These garments are made of
yards upon yards of flannel or tine
cashmere, and they seem to have no
beginning and no end, Tho collar, or
neckband, is all that can readily be
distinguished, but that once adjusted
tho arms slip naturally into places
tnude for them, and tho wearer is
draped securoly and gracefully iu a
garment which will neither slip oil' uor
bind you awkwardly. Some of them
are of oiderdowu cloth, but these are a
little too heavy. Most of them
weighted are
with bands of fur, aud that
is the secret of them falling i nt0 p|
and ace
hanging right, no matter how
hastily they aro donned. So graceful
and becoming is thisrobo that it would
give the illusion of beauty oven to the
plainest woman, for nobody can look
clumsy amid these soft, clinging fold -
which remind one ot Galatea’s dra
ies.—[New York Tribune. per.
habits of the beautiful.
The most beautiful matrons in New
York aro as temperate iu their habits
of life as camels. Youth itself is
lovely, but the beauty of form and
color that endures till middle ago is as
rare as a brown-eyed blonde. That
women wreck their good looks through
ignorauco or intemperauce there is not
the fraction of a doubt. Good wine,
a good table, a good time and no re
strictions aro the murderers of health
as well as beauty. A radiant wife.
Who has children and grandchildren,
gives this information regarding the
“care-taking” that has kept the” roses
in her face:
“2’cn hours’ sleep, funny papers,
good novels aud the society of bright
people; warm bath always at 5 o’clock
and a glass of hot water immediately
after; then dinner, always soup, never
any greasy or spiced dishes, very little
meat, plenty of vegetables and fruit
and coffee.
“Before breakfast a cool sponge
bath, never a eold one; then fresh
fruit, coffee, a soft egg aud toast—
this 365 days iu the year. 1 am a
happy woman and my sense of the
ridiculous is the tonic of tny life.”_
[Sau Fraucisco Examiner.
A WOMAN’* OUTFIT FOB THE FAIR.
The traveling dress should be cool.
light In weight and inconspicuous in
color or fashion, says the writer of
“Em Route for Chicago,” in Demorest
It should also he of some durable ma¬
terial that will not spot nor wrinkle.
Thanks to a return of common sense,
it may be short, and a variation of the
familiar skirt, blouse and blazer will
leave nothing to be desired for com
fott. A deep, generous pocket in the
skirt, to supplement the popular shop¬
ping bag, will prove a necessity even
during the first day on the Exposition
grounds.
This sensible costume, which may be
of rich or simple material, should he
crowned with a modest hat or bonnet
that will not be ruined by dust nor
stray raindrops. Fresh gloves and
well-fitting, low-hceled shoes will be
as conducive to peace of mind as
au easy conscience. Some outer
wrap should be carried even
if the suit has a blazer, as a
protection from sudden changes of
temperature, and the sharp winds that
often rush through the streets of the
“White City by the Lakeside” in mid¬
summer. A rain-cloak, if not too
light weight, may perform this duty
as well as its more legitimate one;
but if it is not imperatively necessary
to reduce your traveling impedimenta
to “marching order,” take wraps for
a variety of woatlier. I have in mind
a July drive in Lincoln Park when I
bitterly repented that my fur-lined
wrap was at home. A fur shoulder
capo takes up very little room, and
you may bo very glad of its warmth.
The very best choice for a rain-cloak
is one of silk, as its weight and bulk
are so trifling as not to be considered;
and a silk or mohair dust-cloak, and a
polo or yachting cap, for use on the
cars, will be found conducive to com¬
fort. Double service may be required
of the umbrella, and overshoes must
bo carried in our uncertain climate.
One dinner-dress, a negligee and
easy old slippers, for resting, an ex¬
tra blouso or two, with changes of
underclothing, will complete the list
of necessary clothing. With these
few articles, which may be packed hi
a satchel or Blmwl-case, a woman will
bo prepared for any cmergoncy that is
likely to aviso. Indeed, the dinner
gown may be omitted, and silk waists
carried to replace those of satine or
linen worn during tho day. This
meager list is one that has boon tried,
and found not wanting, during a sum¬
mer trip abroad. It is easier to re¬
place any article that becomes worn
or damaged, than to carry a too liberal
supply from home.
FASHION NOTES.
The light and medium shades in
bongaliuo are exquisite tliis season.
Lace seems to be the favorite orna¬
mentation for the grenadines and china
silks.
Elegant black nets, for evening cos-
1 unies, have a spangled border and
all-over jot designs.
Collar capos are much worn, and
lire so made that they cun be removed
iu the house. Balloon sleeves still
reign.
Shaded velvot sleeves with contrast¬
ing costumes, and plaid velvet sleeves
aud blue or green cloth gowns aro
popular.
Paris artists in dress encourage the
mixture of pule blue, mignonette
green, and heliotrope iu brocades and
Bhut silks.
Black vails figured with extremely
small rosebuds or forget-me-nots iu
natural colors in cheuile are used for
dressy occasions.
Most of the dresses that are now
being made have no darts at the top of
tho skirt, the fulues3 being gathered
into the waist-band.
Corselets are as fashionable as ever,
and they are made of all kinds of
materials, wool, silk, velvet, brocade,
embroidery aud lace.
Red cloth driviug-capcs are finished
with triple shoulder-capes of velvet
and trimmed with black silk guipure
lace and jet ornaments.
Beautiful table scarfs are orna
mettled uow with satin and long stitch
embroidery, intermixed with open
work aud other fancy stitches.
All short-waisted effects, especially
for evening gowns, promise to bo
popular, though for street dresses the
waist lino is the regulation mark.
All manner of odd little waists, to
be worn with the same plain skirt of
serviceable black silk, are of great
help in produeiuga pleasant variety iu
the wardrobe.
The severely plaiu costumes and
tailor-made suits are as popular as
ever for the street and traveling, but
are giving place to the more elab¬
orately trimmed dresses for the house.

LITTLE MISS 1111k.et.
Little Miss Midget is all in a fidget,
(Her cares as a mother are really trying
Enough "
to make her despair);
“Oh, have you seen Polly ?
My best little dolly;
I m go careful of her, but—I feel like crying—
I’ve left her—I don't know where.”
“What did she wear?
Her own ringlety hair,
One little red shoe, her—yes, her gold locket
And—ob, her be-u-tiful smile—”
Don’t cry little Midget,
’Tis foolish to fidget,

WHAT IS GUM ABABIC?
Gum arabic is a juice which comes
from the bark of the acacia tree, it
hardens as it runs, and forms in lumps
the size of a pigeon’s egg. Morocco
is the best producing country for this
gum, and the native Moors live upon
the money which they get from its
sale. About the 1st of January tho
Moors encamp on the borders of tho
forest to gather their annual harvest
of gum- Little Moorish boys are sent
into the woods to gather the egg-like
tumps from tho outside of the trees,
while their elders load it upon camels
and prepare to carry it to the seaports.
In its natural state tho gum is very
nourishing. Three ounces of it, or a
lump not much bigger than an egg,
will supply a little Moor with food for
a whole day. Six ounces are allowed
for a man.—[N.Y. Ledger.
Johnnie’s tame sparrow.
Last summer, writes John C. Mil¬
lie, I found a sparrow as I was play¬
ing iu the street; it hud boon wounded
by some cruel boy and it could not fly.
1 took it up tenderly and started for
home.
AV hen I was near the house I saw
some hoys coming toward me with
beaushootors. I hastily put the bird
under my jacket, for fear that they
would take it from me. I thou we a t
into the house.
My mother bathed tho wound and
gave the bird something to eat. Tho
next morning it was a little better;
sometimes it would fly up and sit Oil
the top of a picture that hangs in the
kitchen, just over where my sister sits,
and would eat the flies as they flew
past.
When tt was strong enough to fly
away, my father took it out and put it
ou a bush, but after my father had
gone in tho house and closed tho dooof
it flew back into the houso through tho
window.
The sparrow grew to bo very tame,
and would eat from tny hand. It
lived with ns about three weeks, and
one morning when wo arose he was
gone. Wo were all very sorry to lose
it, and I hope to have another pet this
summer.—[New York Recorder.
getting out of bed the wrong way.
Whenever little boys and girls are
cross, it is a sure sign they must have
gotten out of bed the wrong way.
A9 a gouoral thing, Leonard is a
very good little boy, indeed, but even
tho best Jittlo boys will sometimes get
up iu the morning feeling cross at
everything and everybody, without
knowing just J why. When this
happens to Leonard, his mamma will
say: “Oh. Leonard, jump right into
bed again, quick.”
“But why, mamma?”
“Oh, I’m sure you got out of the
bed with tho wrong foot, so get into
bed again dear, aud try to get out
with the right foot this time.”"
So Leonard will take off his shoes
and stockings and climb into bed
again.
< « Which foot must I put cut first
mamma?”
“I don’t know, Leonard,” says iiis
mother, “only be sure to put out the
right foot. I can always tell two
minutes after you get up jf you have
put out the right one.”
And then Leonard is so busy look,
ing for the right foot to put out of
bed first, that he forgets he ever was
cross.
1 think if every little boy and girl
would follow Leonard’s example, aud
get back into bed again when they get
up cross in the morning, and Btay
there until they find the right foot, it
would be ever so much nicer. Don’t
>ou think so, too?—[.New Orleans

A Curious Fiddle.
One of the queerest musical instru
rnents ever known, and perhaps the
only one of its kind, has reached here
from Greenville, East Tennessee. The
queer instrument is a violin made from
a gourd, and it is thirty-nine years
old.

ever was heard comes from it. The

the reception to Andrew Johnson by
the people of Greenviile, his native
town, just after he was made president
of the United States. Hq played the
Old Virginia Reel, the “Fishers’

the president “hoed it down” with
