IDEAS FOR DRESS.
Tho diadem stylo of headdress is rovt\
Long, loose, much wrinkled* tan suede
gloves aro revived
The fashionable colors for tho early fall
arc pearl gray, olive and absinthe green,
reseda and Lucifer red
The feather boa is fashionable for this
season at Newport and other resorts II
is of lace, of feathers or of fur
No woman of taste will use Lucifer roc )
or absinthe green for an entire toilet, or !
oven a large part of a composite suit.
The beautiful sapphire blues, which arc i
being worn in Paris, will without doubt f
be worn here tho coming season, and they i
are most becoming
Steels are beginning to disappear from
skirts, and in place of btistles ami steels
a loose horse hair plaiting is worn In the
back attached to the waistband under the
skirt.
Some charming Directoiro hats of black
chip lined with straw colored Tuscan
braid are seen at Newport and Bar liar
bor Shot ribbons and largo blossom:
trim such hats most appropriately
Some of the metal trimmings for fall
wear are put against a background cf j
si:ode kid, which is cut in open work
fa liion to give a unique and pretty effect
This is to be used on walking gowns.
The tight fitting jacket, molding tin
bust like a cuirass, is most in favor I
docs not absolutely exclude the jacket
with loose fronts so much the fashion
last year, but as it is more coquettish and
youthful looking it soon will.
Flouncing seems to bo the only novel tj
In trimmings for tho coining season, and
it is tho natural outcome of a slight
tendency toward this sort of adornment
which was seen on some of tho models
from Paris for summer wear.
A pretty English hat for country weai
or for tennis is of drawn figured muslin
with a movable brim, which may be raised
or lowered as occasion requires. The hat
is sometimes of colored mull and is quite
the favorite with young ladies.
Watered silk is still iu high fashion,
and is much used for short rounded skirts
under draperies of summer silks or sheei
wool fabrics; and pale tinted moires arc
very fashionably employed in tho con
st ruction of Directoiro redingotes and
elegant tea gowns.
Pinking is found to be such a convo
nient and pretty finish that it is chosen
as the decoration fur many woolen cos
tiimcs for fall wear. Two, and sometimes
three, rows of pinking are set ono below
another These aro in threo different
colors and have a pretty effect.
A most exquisite stuff is wool muslin
which is sheer and soft to a degree and
drapes exquisitely. It is in soft, creamy
white and delicate tints. In Pari?, where
it is much appreciated.* it is called crepon.
There uro'lovely models for tea gowns in
which this lovely fabric plays an impor
tant part.
Among the fashions which aro predicted
sci the next season arc trimmings of col
ored leather. These leather trimmings
aro in tho natural color of t lio skin, but
polished or glazed, not dull finished,
pinked on llie edges and pricked out in
round holes, forming patterns on the
waistcoats, collars, cuffs, rovers and belts
Tho woolen t heory has been adopted by
tno ladies of tlio English Rational Dress
association, and is considered to bo es
pccinlly adapted to tlio clothing of the
children t A complete model for the
i under ana other clothing is shown by J
| them. It consists of pure wool stockings, j
■ corset waist, the divided skirt and knee
breeches, and the smock frock or long I
! apron over all. This sensible and health :
ful costume has generally been adopted
by thoughtful, careful mothers.—New
York Mail and Express.
THINGS WORTH KNOWING.
To refcnove indelible ink: Apply a strong
•solution of cyanide of potassium and rinse
well.
Indian meal and vinegar or lemon juice
used on the hands will heal and soften
them.
Green blinds that have faded may be
made to look like new by oiling over with
a brushing of linseed oil.
To make mucilage: Take equal parts of
gum tragacunth and gum arabic, with
sufficient water to dissolve.
To remove tar from the hands: Rub
with the outside of fresh orange or lemon
peel, and wipe dry immediately.
A little powdered borax put in the
I water in which laces, muslins and lawns
i aro washed will improvo their appearance
j greatly; use as little soap as possible.
- Sprinkle salt immediately over any spot
where something lias boiled over on tho
stove, and the place may be more easily :

NEGRO WAITERS.
A Philosophical Consideration of Their
Motive Power.
When a man of largely African ances
try once gets a thirst for tho quarters
and other smaller silver coins in the
pockets of other people, it never leaves
him. No habit is so deadly—to the other
people more especially. To the day of
his death it will cling to him; ho cannot
break himself of it, and it is safe enough
to say that lie won’t try.
I liavo berni confined for several days in
ono of tho best summer hotels in New
‘ England. 1 know It. is ono of tho best be
cause tho porters won’t move any further
for a quarter than they will in an ordi
nary hotel for 10 cents. My waiter, a
colored man with a gently undulating
brow, is very attentive. Sometimes as 1
sit out on tho piazza looking at tho
scenery, which is highly recommended by
tho clerk, lie will steal softly out to my
side and stand silently holding out one
hand till I give him a quarter. Again I
am awakened at 2 o’clock in tho morning
by a gentle tapping on my door, and hear
him hoarsely whisper through tho key
hole and ask if I haven’t forgotten some
thing. When among strangers it is very
pleasant to find that there is somebody
who will n member you and follow you
two miles up tlio creek when you go fish
ing and cali j*our attention to tlio fact
that tho quarter you gave him has got a j
hole in it and ho can’t take it for more !
than twenty cents.
Tho negro waiters hero are the most |
nicely be';meed financially that I have ever I
seen. Tlio first meal,l sat down to, a dark |
colored gentleman slid up to mo and took
I my order- 1 gayo him 10 cents as a
starter, and in a rnoasuro to win his con
fidence. Ho niQved off across the dining I
room quite briskly, but when about half i
j way to tlio kitchen suddenly stopped, :
made a few motions with his legs like a
soldier on parade when he wants to keep I
up appearances and not proceed any |
further, and then became motionless, gaz
ing straight before him. I watched him j
for some time, and concluding that he j
was permanently side tracked, spoke to j
tho head waiter, whom they called Plilla !
delphia.
“Philadelphia,” I said, “I gave my order
to that stationary party over there, prob
:ibly Louisville or Pittsburg 1 ; why has '
Iro quit running on his regular schedule
time?"
“Cincinnati, sail, is tho gen {'man's
name Pro’bly you gave him ’bout ten
cents, sail?"
“That was all,” I replied, meekly,
j **Dat explains do cause of do delay, !
j sail,” returned Philadelphia. “Can’t
I movo no forder, sah, for jess ten cents.”
! I went over and gave him a quarter and j
[ ho started off promptly, and in tlio course j
of an hour or perhaps ah hour and a half, j
got back with something to eat. —Fred 11.

How It Sounds.
Some writer has produced a poem en
titled “Sounds From the Sanctum.” It
reads just too pretty, and gives riso to
j tho thought that tho author never visited
i tho sanctum when business was in full
: blast. If lie had called about midnight,
for instance, ho would liavo seen twe
• saints—ono poring over a proof slip, tho
! other holding tho copy; and tho sounds
| would liavo been something like this:
Proofreader—As flowers without the
! sunshiny fare—comma —so comma
| without you—comma—do I breathe a dark
. and dismal mare
Copy Holder—Thunder! not marc—air.
Proofreader—l breathe a dark and dis
mal air—comma—as flowers—comma
Copy Holder—Shoot tho comma,
i Proofreader —'Tis done. As flowers
| without the sunsliino faro—semicolon—
confound slug seven, he never justifies
his lines—no joy in life—comma—no

! Copy Holder—Warmth.
! Proofreader—No warmth I share—
comma—and health and vigorous flies
Copy Holder—Blazes! Health and vigor

Proofreader—Health and vigor fly

FAHY’S FACTS AND FIGURES
FOR FARMERS,
His Bold Displace
mentof High Prices.
Prejudice hampers the reasoning
powers, it dethrones knowledge,
places obstructions in the path of
progress and destroys freedom of
thought and action: Its first mani
festation should ho the signal for
its overthrow. Cast it back to those
contracted and degenerate minds
which gave it birth and then when
you visit Eahy’s to examine his un
equalled stock of fall and winter
goods your mind will be untram
melled and uninfluenced, permitting
the forceful and demonstrable truths
which the qualities and prices carry
with them to receive that just and
unbiased consideration which is
their due. Last week we gave you
a column of verbiage ; this week it
shall lie a column of figures. Before
we give out these true, trusty and
terse facts we desire to say that al
ready have wo every reason to feel
elated at the remarkable success of
our season but are all the more de
termined to produce a still greater
hiatus in stocks for the next sixty
days. Don’t ask how it all come
about. It is one of those sudden
upheavals,:! spontaneous upturning,
a direful decrease of value which is
an inexplicable wonder and marvel
to both customer and competitor.
Os course our trade is in full height
of activity, as fast as one phalanx
of patrons aro met and their wants
supplied, others step forward to re
ceive like treatment, and so on from
early until late has this been the
ceaseless feature of each day.
We note with peculiar pride and
gratifying satisfaction the immense
crowds who daily throng our store,
and their evident and pleased appre
ciation of our exertions, as mani
fested by their generous and un
stinted patronage,is but an addition
al incentive which nerves and stim
ulates us to still greater sacrifices
in prices. The power and potency of
our Bargains are our sole claims to
popular preference, and it is unde
niably true that no firm can display
a greater array than we.
This, our seventeenth year of re
tailing in Rome, finds us with no
onnntfM'C! nf flirt lAilcf <iml n
spectors or the past and no shadows
for the future. Our career has been
one long succession and unintcrup
ted series of unparrclled and unpre
cedented victories. Surrounding
ourselves with an inaccessible bul
wark of bargains we have planted
our colors on the highest point of
Georgia’s <’ommerci; >1 y ort and all
attempts of rivals to displace us lias
boon unsubstantial and vain. We
have inarched and ingrafted into
our methods the principle which fur
nishes us with vital life and blood
and enthusiasm, that of selling the
greatest quantity of reliable wares
for the least money possible.
