Hints About Millinery.
The imported bonnets are either very
simple awl plain, and should therefore
be inexpensive, or else they are ex
tremely rich, being made of embroid
ered stuffs, stiff with the threads of gold
and beads with which they are wrought.
For simple bonnets smooth with felt is
chosen for general use, and plain velvet
for nicer wear. The new felt bonnets
have the crown cut out in a curve or
point on the lower edge to make room
for high dressed hair, or to form a pretty
finish above that part of the hair which
is combed upward from the nape of the
neck. It is a very easy matter to trim
such a bonnet by placing a very large
cluster of stiff loops of velvet ribbon
near the front, directly bn top,,making
each loop stand out-in wing shape, just
as small wings are now arranged. On
the edge of the brim a binding of gal
loon, or some velvet folds, or a puff, are
all that is needed. A bird's head or
some straight feathers may be thrust in
among the velvet loops, or the whole
cluster there may be of feathers grouped
by the more practiced milliner’s hand
before being sold. These montures
simplify the trimming, and only need a
little care in sewing them on, as they
have a good background for holding tl o
stitches. The strings may t-e the small
velvet bow now so popular, or else they
may be two yards of velvet ribbon from
two to three inches' wide; this ribbon
crosses the lower edge of tlie crown, or
may be attached on each side by a fan
ciful pin.
The richest fabrics, some of which cost
one hundred and forty dollars a yard
and are so narrow that a yard vvill only-
serve for two crowns, are. tho gold-em
broidered camel’s-hair made as stiff as
metal with threads of gold. Fat simpler
than these are the lembrqjiderefl velvets
with small figures All ovehthefn, as for
instance, a lozenge shape wfought, in
self-colored silk weth a zigzag outline of
silver or gilt threads. This design i#
handsome in black and silver velvo*
placed smoothly on the .small crown,
while the close capote brim is eovoreO
with diagonal rows oi silver braid,
edged with a thick cord covered with
black velvet. On top of the bonnet is
a rosette cluster of black lace threaded
with silver and this holds some brilliant
feathers of the bird-of-paradtsc which
are cut only a few inches in length, and
are far more graceful than the long
slender plumes of that bird when used
in their natural length. The strings are
of striped- velvet and watered silk.
Green is the prevailing color in im
ported bonnets for the autumn and
winter, and is seen in the usual dark
myrtle and bottle greens, but is
most distinguishable in the new and
lighter cresson shades. There are hand
some frise figured velvet without figures
for the brim and the strings. Dark
brown with green tinges giving olive
hues combines handsomely wi'th the
brighter greens, and is worn near the
face when cresson is used for the crown.
A dark myrtle velvet hat has its brim
arched, not sharply pointed, and partly-
covered inside near the face with a
cluster of fine piping folds of brilliant
eoquelicot red velvet.
A novelty in velvet round hats is to
have the top of the crown quite soft, as
if to indent it at pleasure, and to cover
the sides of the crown with gathered
velvet, forming two puff's all around it.
The brim is then covered plainly, and
edged with galloon that has gold threads
in it, or else gold beads, but, the prefer
ence is for wrought gold rather than
for beads. Velvet ribbon loops and a
bunch of feathers directly- in front are
almost the only trimmings seen on
round hats. The high square of Slightly
tapering crowns arc most, used, and the
brim is narrow and stiff being quite
even all around, or else getting still
narrower in the back. The crown is
high and large enough to take in the
high coil of hair, if the hat is set slightly
back on the head, and in this way the
front hair is also shown.
Felt round hats to match woolen suits
have cording all over the crown in ver
micelli patterns, or else, they are slightly-
embroidered in silks of the same shade.
Galloon, velvet bands, and wings thrust
in velvet loops are the trimmings for
felt hats.—Harper's Razor.

but we reverence the ancients. Nay-,
many- of earth’s noblest sons have been

till death stepped in and took them
away did the world discover its mis
take. A poor shoemaker rises while
others sleep, and searches among the
wayside leaves of his native lanes, his
only inspiration being his thirst for
knowledge, and the joy of adding a few
plants to the known flora of his native
land. His neighbors deride, him, are
doubtful of his sanity, and think his
life a sad warning to the peas
ant lads around who may show signs
of leaving the beaten path of the monot
onous life their fathers trod. Unmind
ful of scorn, in defiance of , faith, he
goes forwai d in the thorny path he has
chosen for himself, gaining knowledge
that is quite new, making discoveries
that were reserved for such as he, and
at last becomes possessed of an herbari
um famous for containing specimens to
be found in no other. All the while he
is unheard of, or heard of unfavorably;
but when he grows old. and, tottering
on the brink of the grave, bands over
his precious scraps to the nearest uni
versity, he becomes famous. A coterie
of appreciative men in far-away Lon
don collect something to. relieve his
pressing necessities, and—the matter
ends. But he dies, and then the world
gains-—not the blood and toil-stained
herbarium, but the stimulating example
of. a hero’s life, which, though it re
pelled the youth of his own time and
district, becomes a burning and a shin
ing light to lighten the path and fii-e the
noble ambition of every youth who
reads the story of the heroic struggles
which bore him above the swamping
waves of prejudice, of poverty, and oi
scorn. — Chambers' Joumal.
Pumpkins and Potatoes for Cattle.
A readm■ aska “WSoTTs the value of
potatoes, either cooked or raw, as com
pared with corn, and does it pay to
raise pumpkins for cattle?”
The circumstances of each feeder
will determine, to a great extent, the
question as to whether or not it will pay
to grow pumpkins, or other kinds of
food for cattle. But inasmuch as the
cost of raising pumpkins is generally
confined to the planting of the seeds in
the field with corn, and to the labor of
gathering and cutting the crop for the
stock, it is not likely that much loss will
result from raising plenty of them and
feeding freely’ to cattle. That they may-
form an excellent addition to the diet of
milch cows is too well known to require
stating. That great benefit to fattening
stock will follow feeding with pump
kins, as from feeding roots, can not be
doubted. And as it seems to be a settled
fact that the farmers of the Middle and
Western States will not “fuss” with
raising roots for farm stock, as long as
maize remains the great staple fteding
crop, it may be well for them to grow
pumpkins as a good substitute, costing
little or nothing. But it will scarcely
pay to do as thousands have done, pro
duce a large crop of pumpkins and
leave them, to freeze arid rot in the field,
while the stock gnaws a half starved
existence from the straw-stack and from
storm-bleached cornstalks. In feeding
pumpkins it is better to remove the
seeds, as in considerable quantities they
act as a diuretic.
was a martyr to sea-sickness, and that
he must have contented himself with
making his calculations in his study-.
On the cither hand, a height of sixty-
four feet is almost as absurd, though if
is more in correspondence than five feet
can possibly be with our conception of
the altitude of the majestic surges
which roll under the impulse of storms
of wind along the surface of the great
oceans. It is true that the earthquake
wave has been knowm to rise to sixty
feet; yet surges of this kind are happily
scarce, since when they occur they are
not only in the habit of razing whole
towns upon the coast line where they
break, but of carrying some of the ves
sels they may encounter at anchor in
the. neighborhood to the distance of a
day’s walk inland. Practical experi
ence, however will look with suspicion
upon most of the scientific theories
touching the altitude and velocity of
waves. Prof, Airy’s table couples
speed -with 'dimensions, and, as a sam
ple of his calculations, it may be shown
that a wave one hundred thousand feet
in breadth will travel at the rate of
538.80 feet per second in water that is
ten thousand feet deep. This is possi
ble, but it is difficult to accept such con
clusions as exact. At all events, there
is nothing more deceptive than the ;
height of waves. The tallest seas in the I
World run off Cape Horn, where,
whether the wind blows east or west,
they have a holiday ground within a
belt of eight or ten degrees that coin-
passes the globe without the interven
tion of a break of land. Any man who
has run, say, before a strong westerly
gale round the Horn vvill know the mag
nitude of the seas which follow his ship.
Viewed from the stern when the vessel
sinks in the trough, the oncoming sea
that is about"to underrun the ship and
lift her soaring to the living .heavens
will seem to heave its rushing summit
to the height of the mizzen-top; but
when the summit is gained by the ob
server, and the waves viewed from
there, it will then be seen that those
crests which from tlie deck looked a
long way up, vvill now appear to be a
long way down. It is a common shore
going phrase that the seas run “moun
tain high.” The idea implied is not
very generally accepted by r sailors,
though the term may be sometimes
used by them for convenience. The
truth is, if waves were as tall as they
are popularly supposed to be, no ship
could by any possibility live in them.
They are lofty to the fancy, because at
sea they are usually surveyed from low
freeboards. To a spectator on a steamer,
with a six-foot height of side, an Atlan
tic or Pacific surge would necessarily
appear as a mountain a.s compared to
the aspect it would take from the deck
of an old line-of-battle ship, with a
thirty-foot “dip,” or from one of those
lofty, glazed, and castellated structures
which in former times took six months
to jog soberly from the Thames to the
Hooghly. —London Telegraph.

out of fashion, a device for covering it,
which will produce the popular effect,
may be acceptable to many. The sup
position is that the mantel shelf is sup
plied with a lambrequin, and we desire
to cover the bare whiteness of the man
tel front. Of the lambrequin material
make two curtains just reaching to the
floor and meeting in the center directly
over the fire front. The curtains are
suspended by small rings on a slender
brass rod placed under the mantel
ghelf. They should be sparingly deco
rated with embroidery or whal ever class
of ornamentation is put upon the lam
brequin.
Another means of transforming a
white mantel is by the use of paint.
Where it is found necessary to do over
the woodwork of a room, have it done
in the fashionable cherry or mahogany
color, painting the mantel in the same.

would be difficult to say how profitable j Lil^daugliter) ut 18
they would bo as food for cattle in '" J ~ '
different regions and under varying cir
cumstances. Scientific analyses can do
something to help decide the question;
but it has been found, that the practical
results do not agree with those, which,
such analyses would Igad us to expect.
The market value of potatoes and other
foods, the cost of production, etc., must
be considered in reaching a decision.
It is . quite clear that with good corn
selling at ten cents per bushel, and po
tatoes worth twenty-five, cents, as has
>een the case in the West, the latter
mild not be a profitable feeding crop.
Hit when potatoes sell slowly at ten

lie difference might be in favor of po-
itoes.—Prairie Farmer.

Every one knows how disagreeable the
odor of cooking cabbage is. All your

to have cabbage for dinner. If you put

cabbage there will be no smell. The
pepper absorbs the odor of the cab

pepper, however, or the cabbage will
