$ rs^. ? ? FOR THE FAIR SEX. Lr? The Lore of a Canadian Girl. The Toronto T*legrum publishes the follo-ving cotiC'-rr'inK a Yorkvilie girl who wanted to make her lover a present on his return from a trip. On asking her parents Tor the required amount she was refused. She was determined not to be balked in her desire, and she went to a fashionable Yonge street barber and told him to cut iaer hair off short. The barber promptly went to work and cropped the voung lady, who immediately -sold her flowing locks for a good amount. Thus she was n.ade -in tn show hf-r tion "was not blighted during hirf absence. Tobacco SmokiEz Ladies. "Asiatic nations." ihe London Wot writes, "consider:he use of tobacco as a substitute for the u>e of intoxicants. It fill* the h<;uis of idleness, -when poopi9 have nothing better to do would drink if they could not amoke. It is a quiet and pleasant mode of soothing the brain. Women rho have traveled in Egypt generally come home con firmed smokers and find to their discomfort that they must keet their new ta^te very dark indeed or elot? be looked at askance by tne virtuous of their sex. If they dare to smoke friendly eigaretces wih their friends, especially if those friends be male, they will find themselves ranked among the rapid women who are dangerous. Now the question is, by what process do English women arrive ata conclusion so strange ? The Cheese lady smokes from childhood, and uno of the elegances of her ***? attire i3 a sicken tobacco pouch. Yet ihe English lady who learns to smoke when away from her prejudiced little island would bo daring indeed if she had a tobacco ixmch siunpr around her waist with her fan in London." Fashions in Jewelry. There is just no? a special fancy foi silver jewelry. Long lace pins of silvei are used as brocches and necklaces, which fasten closely around the high collar of the drrfs, and are formed of one, twj or three strands of round silver beads. Lace pins in ball patterns are very popular. . Some silver necklaces in Greek designs are chased in classical style, and have a beaien marred look, which is copied from dng-up-jewelry. One necklace is formed of a succession of coins, each wrongir with the figure of a god or goddess of Olympus. The center coin, larger than the others, contains a figure of Father Jap iter, his eaglebearer by his side. Gold lace-pics are varied from the conventional long, slender shape, and new designs are the head of an owl with /visr> 4VNVtV\?MAn ^/\* Of /\* n j.v/1 co, ui. ck ux? of paradise with gay crest, set with diamonds, diamond eyes, and having a pear in its long beak ; a bar of music " _ in another pattern with an enameled square in the center representing Cupid playing on a lnte. A little paroquet 01 a water-snipe with diamond eyes and diamond necklaces are other fancies. The prettiest of all shows a trident on which rested an intaglio cut in aquamarine. and pendant from which is a hoop -with many tiny fresh-water pearls hung upou ii. After Fifteen Year?. Thomas Patterson, of a wealthy Maryland family, disappeared from Baltimore fifteen years ago, after bidding his young and beautiful wife adieu. Soon afterward his relatives read in a newspaper the description of an unknown man who had been found dead in Erie. The body was identified by a brother of Patterson as that of the mi?sing man, the letters "T- P." in Indian ink on his arm being to him conclusive evidence. The body was interred in the family lot in "Wilminsrton. and the tomb cared for and adorned with flowers, watered by the ttara of the supposed widow. But Patterson is still alive. After falling into dissipated habits, he went to Texas and was captured by the Indians. He subsequently escaped and made his way to Michigan. A short time ago Mrs. Patterson was surprised* to receive an envelope bearing the postmark of Grand Rapids, and at once recognized the handwriting of her husband It conveyed to her the joyful intelligence that Patterson was a prosperous merchant of _ l v; v.j a large eisv in .aiicm sac, zi&a cuscaraea all his bad habits, was leading the exemplary life of an honest, temperate man and by strict uttentivn to business had accumulated a fortune. Mrs Patterson is ?.till a beautiful woman, and has had maav snitors for her hand since the supposed d^arh of her husband, all of which she dechned. Spanish girdles of black velvet are very stylish. Old-fashionea Louis XVI. pelisses are again in favor. Basques of watered silk are in preparation for the winter. Traveling eoptuiuea of silver-gray alpaca are fashionable in Paris. Grecian bands for the hair are made of silver, inlaid with mock gems. Handkerchiefs embroidered with gold dots are among Parisian novelties. Some of the chenille fringes are a foot deep, and the jet beads used upon them are bigger than cherries. A now Mother Habbard collar is of silk muslin, shirred from the neck to the shoulders, and bordered with deepgathered frills of lace. Paralunes for moonlight promenades are announced as a supplement to the jyarasui. J? utroc to ui are described as being made of gauze lined with gar-colored silk. A plush binding tor a siirt opens an agreeable prospect to women who have spent the last two seasons in renewing silk plaitings. A plush binding might last through a half-hour's walk, and then again?. In embroidery the cross-stitch has been revived and is now worked on velvet with the assistance of canvas. With the revival of the cross-stitch comes some of the designs and coloring of old tapestries. Seme of the new mourning "bonnets ar^mere coronets of shirring, with a . - bo^sefc in at the back where it serves as a heading for the veil, which cannot be brought over the face- The ties are of crape, with a wide hem turned up on the outride. Some of the gypsy bats are tied down with lace scarf?, which, being wound about the throat, carried down to the belt, and fastened there by a spray of berries or flowers like those trimming the hat, do away with the necessity for any outside wrip. In the millinery exposed at recent openings large pokes and round hats were seen in great numbers; the small bonnets and turbans also found favor. The poke bonnets introduced this fall show the smali tapering crown instead of the bioad flat one. For traveling, walking and driving the feather turbans introduced early in the season remain favorites. These are composed entirely of feaihers. There are pheasant, lophophore. peacock and tnv.Vt.no a icatjxn iu;?au3. JUI^/XC aic aiou turbans of plnsh trimmed with clusters of plush flowers.. The openwork embroidery called broi>t*re Angl'iis*. is greatly used upon toilets of every description. It is * woufcbt in various tiuts of the dress neater al and io'>ks strikingly handsome for flounces, pine's, plastrons, and also f ?r verticil frauds for dividing skirt puffings, and for borderings ai-d revers. The mode of wearing panniers combined with the clinging* skirt, either short or trained, srems to find fresh favor in toilets. These panniers ms now worn are compos? d of sbort full draperies round e-.t over the hips in true Wat?r?' teau fashion, and are usually made of a ^ material different from the tablier or petticoat, and are frequently matched to that of the train. A very beautiful fabric of changeable Turkish satin shading in the sunlight from a deep Venetian green to a rich golden hue is among the elegant 1 novelties in full dress materials. Th< ! fabric can be elegantly combined -wit] j dark green or deep admiral blue velvet | or plush, with pelrrine facirjgs and cuff : of the latter material, or trimmed "witl ! tinv-uiaited frills of the f-ame. \rH j panels and revcrs of bronze or goldei green snrah cf a very deep sliade.

"Winter ir the Arctic regions is bitterly, horribh cold?and why ? Simply because the ; sun is altogether below the horizon foi I months ; and all this time the earth h j radiating its heat into space and receiv ! ing none in return. In summer th< j case is different. At Allen, three anc j a-half degrees north of the Arctic circle, 1 barley has been seen to grc-w two anc ; a-half inches, and peas three inches ii i twenty-four hours. At Hammerfest, ; still farther north, the hay is made in i month after the snow has left th( i ground In Greenland, from whicl i most of our descriptions of Arctic cli : mate are derived, the summer is marrec ! by the glaciers, which fill up all the ! valleys and flow down into the fjords ; and sea-channel?, whereby their immer i sion in salt water, a freezing mixture is ! produced. The summer Temperature ! is reduced by tkese glaciers just as it is l in Switzerland, where a few steps cam : the tourist from the scorching hillside t to the frigid atmosphere that stands over the glacier, and has such a curious i exhilarating effect directly I19 steps i upon the ice. The Siberian plains an ; fed by no such accumulations of moun ! tain ice, and hence the sun does its ful. ; work in warming the earth directly the ; snow has vanished. A balloon floating well above the Greenland ice would enjoy a luxurious ; summer climate; the sun would shine i upon it continuously, and some part o: its rotundity would always receive per pendicular rajs, even with the sun 01 the horizon. The elevation above th< lower humid a'mosphere would remove much of the chief cause of the difference between the direct hea'ing power of the ! polar and tropical sun rays, viz, the absorption of a greater quantity of heal 1 by aqueous vap.;r through which the ; oblique rays usually travel. A Girl Horse-Thief. i A singular si^ht was seen at one oi the tables of the Union depot dining room in St. Louis one morning recently ?a voung girl of nineteen years witl handcuffs on and in charge of two deputy sheriffs. The cuffs were taken ofl while she ate and put cn immediately afterward. She was arrested in the southwestern part of the State on n charge of iiorse-stealing, and made several attempts to escape from the officers. She had hair as black and coarse as an ; Indian's matted ovei her head, and hanging down her back; her cheek bones were high, and she had small, j piercing gray eyes and a very large mouth, but regular teeth. Around her ! neck she had a red shawl pinned ti-'htiv, which gave her face a very s-av; age appearance, although she had a white complexion. She wore a hemei spun dress and a pair of hobnaile ! shoes, and her hands looked as coarse J as an eagle's talons. a STIiEET NOMENCLATURE. > ?o:n? of Ibe Famon*, C'uriotsa nart Ode S i Name# of ?tre? ta in tti?

Common millet, says the Prairie j [ j F<nia?r, grows to the height of three or i I ' four feet, and bears a loose panicle of I II seedshavig-'^gononeside. German millet [! has numerous succulent leaves, is larger . and considered more nutritious than i t common millet. The leaves remain i r: green until the seeds mature. .fearl i i | millet is known under various names, ' ! j as Egyptian millet, <fcc. It was sent out ' by the Agricultural Department at Washington in 1879 as a new variety, j ] but proved to ba a variety that had been ; : previously cultivated in the extreme ; i Southern States. The testimony of! : farmers and plantars is that it is of little ' ; value unless cut as a green forage. It i i grows rapidly, and is eaten wMi relish j I by stock, but if allowed to atrnin full j ; growth or produce seed it becomes j i useless for hay. It is more exhaustive j | to the soil than either common millet i riomiofl Tttilliif. TVio violrl r>m* ap.re : I varies largely 'with different soils and i i other conditions. Common millet may j '! he?eown at any time before the 25th of [ | Jane in this latitude. If sown early it j | usually is mature in August. Eight i i quarts per acre of seed is sown if in- j : tended chiefly for cattle feed. Hun- j I garian is the most productive and is ; much more generally cultivated than ! the common millet. The quantity of i seed recommended for pear millet per j i acre varies largely in different locali-; ; ties. It should be drilled in. G.-cen Fodder lor Stock. !

Last year ; , j Mr. Mills fed for sever, months 140 ani, ! reals, cows and horses, fiom ten acres t ! of corn fodder. The past summer he (j feed for six weeks 100 cattle, mostly j . i milch cows from five acres of oats sown j .

Mr. | - Mills states that one ton of ?rass pre- I [ served green in a silo pos^essesas great! i! feeding capacity as twenty tons of the .' best hay. These are startling figures.

In the morning the bees will commenco to pro back to the old stand, and, after a sufficient number of them have returned, . give them a queen cell and brood in all stages. The bees in a colony having a ; fertile worker are, of course, nearly all : old bees, and so vill nearly all return 11 to the old stand. The fertile worker i nrv/3 r?

H Lewis, of New Yorir, j i read a paper recently before a conven- j' i tion of dairymen in Ontario, from which j we extract: ! Again, one breed of cows will do well : J on some land, where some other breed j 1 i would be almost or quite worthless. j ; Hence I advise every dairyman to select j; : that particular cow or breed best suited j , ' to his lands where she is to obtain her j j food, and best adapted to that branch j : of dairy farming in which he is engaged. [ ' If, for instance, your pasture lands ! j are roueh. or on steep side hills, select! , a small, active cow, and if butter mak- j , ing is your business, the Jersey or j Devon and their grades from our native ] cows will prove satisfactory. But if j cheese making is your business, cr the ! , production of milk for market, the Ayr- I j ; shire is the cow.

The Pari* waiter is not free from some very dis& sjreeable characteristics, in spite of hi< smoothness, celerity and polish, and imong his little failings is a propensity to filch whatever he can of the coin h? fingers. The dishonest ruses of the waiters are numerous. Some invariably bring back the change for any sum Dne or two sous short, by which means, if regularly successful, a considerable sum may be amassed in time. Others, dying at higher game, are overtaken Iry mch unaccountable fits of abstraction vhen they are bringing back the valance for a ten-franc piece, for instance, that they only give change foi ive; or, if the coin tendered be a louis, 'or ten.

His experience with the Great German Remedy justified him in irivinpr his unqualified indorsement of it. and in savins that his chief ; . -y _____ The >*ative Esquimaux. The Esquimaux generally are a goodish lot of poor devils as far as disposition is concern-id, their good nature apparently begiucing with boyhood. A short time since a canoe was alongside in which lay a baby enveloped in furs, its ? % ? ^ . . ' rt _ i n __ tiny iiaruis protruding ana noiciing a piece of blabber, which it sucked with apparent relish. It was quick to feel itself an object of attraction, and its chubby face returned any number on smiles of recognition, alternating with occasional blinfcs caused by the falliDg snow. Something of the artistic instinct also crops out in their disposition, as may be witnessed from rude carvings of ivory and attempts at delineation. At St. Michael's an Esquimaux boy who has never had any instruction draws extremely well. They have music peculiar to themselves, and are devotedly fond of dancing, which is done entirely by the women, who, being stripped to the waist for the occasion, are mor? decollette than our women at the "germans." The men are spectators. It is much to be regretted that they are not more cleanly in their persons and habits. If an enterprising entomologist were so inclined it would be quite possible for him to supplement the paper to the Royal Society, made some years ago, on the "Ethnological Classification of Vermin," and "Ouida" might find material which, if worked up, wouia surpass m aisgustiuiuess me ueu. epic mentioned in "Moths." As a trader the Esquimaux is a regular Shylcck. He will haggle about the slightest matter in making a bargain, although bartering for 10 cents' worth of tobacco a skip that could not be got for as many dollars in New York. Occasionally one or two are met with not so unsophisticated. A chap on the Siberian coast having a quantity of furs to dispose of, being offered some trifling thing, exclaimed (using a phrase unmentionable to ears polite), "those skins are worth $10 down in San Francisco." Another fellow said he had been to California on a whaler, and be ing asked his name said it was "Shoo Fly." In physiognomy this race has many of the Mongolian peculiarities, yet the type varies. In the vicinity of East cape a few are to be seen having distinctive Hebrew noses, others of a more Milesian cast of features look like Irishmen, while one old fellow was found the very image of the proprietor of Wormley's Hotel, in "Washington. Physically they are far behind the Anglo-Saxon, if the writer may be allowed to regard himself as a standard of comparison. They are wanting in biceps, cannot swim, stand on their heads nor turn somersaults. A few gymnastic tricks fill them with admiration and astonishment.?Lieutenant Reynolds. Only Half Alive. There are hosts of meu and women who, to /*n:n a rVhrAQP ftnlr half 0I1V/* That ia fn say, they have seldom if ever any appetite, are nervous, weak, tidgetty and troubled by numberless small pains anil aches. In the presence of vigorous, exuberant vitality tiny seem mere pigmies. Such peisons are usually fond ot dosing themselves, swallowing in the course oi the year enough drugs to st ck any apothecary's shop of average dimensions. This, of course, defeats instead of furthering the end in view, viz... the recovery of health and vigor. Were they to seek it from an unfailiagHOurce of vitality, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, liow different would be their case. Then vigor would return to their debilitated frames, the slow. of health to their wan cheeks, their trembling, uncertain gait would grow firm and elastic, appetite, that grandest of all sauce.-, would give a* relish for the daily food, were it ever so coarse, and refreshing sleep would crown the tasks of the day.

Stevexs, Esq.: D(ur Sir?About two years ?-so a cancer made its appearance on mv face, left side of my nose. 'When "rst noticed it, 'twas about the size of a pin-head 7 small). It increased in size, and spread on rnv until it became as large as a common cent. I d all kinds of remedies, and advice from a phyian. It was spreading and eating into niy flesh erv fast. I was very much alarmed. I went to see i Physician who cured cancers: he did not Rive me Qurii encouragement. It pained me very much; I uffored night and day. It would bleed at times very roiusely. Everything was done that could be to ry to cure the cancer. My brother had a cancer on tis lip: he submitted to an operation, beir.g well liscouraged. j vras one dav m Mr. Woodberry'a j>oth<*cary store, of this town. He jrave mo jour 'amphlet.'confaining many cures by the use of Vegtine. I found on page 19 where Vegetine had Cured . cancer on a lady's nose. I then lwught a bottle of our Vegetine, and it proved a great blessing to nie: could sco good effects from it right away. After aking three bottles it stopped the spreading of the ancer about the edges: it checked the eating into iiv flesh. I could see It was graduallv healing. I c'pt on taking Vegetine. the cancer slowly disap*aring, until I had taken sixteen bottles and it omplctely cured it. It has left a large scar on one ide of my nose: and I feci it my duty to recommend "etretine to all like sufferers, as it is certainly a great 'Blood Pari tier." I am now sixty-three years of gi?, and Vegetine has greatly improved my general ;eilth. Sours most respectfully, VVM. P. CLEAVES. S4 Federal St.. Beverly, Mass.
