S- PAE?, GAKDEX AXD HOUSEHOLD. Forjfinf*. This "wearisome fault of horses, wherein they strike and click the hind and forefeet, is sometimes caused by ioo neavy shoeing. A very heavy, avfkward shoe is not always a good shoe. Lowering the feet is sometimes a remedy. Much is due, also, to the breaking of the young animal, and if he has been made to forge, the remedy should be applied as quickly as possible. Keeping the head up is a good idea. Horses prone to this idea throw their forefeet back, lunge and do not get themselves up in shape. Enrichinc Orchards. All young fruit trees, says the Country Gentleman, which do not make a growth of two feet for the longest shoots in a season ncpcl n/lriitirvnal stimulating with manure if the ground is clean and well cultivated; or if they stand in grass or happen to be encumbered with weeds, good mellow culti-' vation must be given them. This is j the role for vcung trees, and the oest time, if manure is applied, is late in autumn or during winter, the earlier the better. But manure appears to do the most good on bearing trees, especially apple trees, often giving good annual crops where poor and biennial crops were previously borne. Bearing trees need not grow so rapidly as young ' trees, but if they do not take annual shoots at least a foot long they need xuvxc uiouuir, vi uutu luumue iuiuciu- i tivation. The manure may be spread . broadcast in winter, covering the whole ' surface. Plum Culture. In a discussion on plum culture, at a meeting of the Massachusetts Horticultural society, it was stated that Professor Cleveland, of Maine, saved his plums by removing three inches of the soil and covering with air-slacked , lime. One tree on which he tried this ; remedy bore three bushels of fruit. ! Mr. Bates succeeded by sprinkling the fruit, when damp, with air-slacked lime. Others showered the trees with lime wash. Another cultivator had covered his trees with mosquito netting, and obtained plums. There is no doubt that some of these remedies owe their partial efficacy to frightening away the curculios, in working at the trees to apply them. All the washes i and dustincrs. including annlication ! . 0 7 "I-X of diluted tar, must be repeated several times, or as often as the rains wash them off, and the labor required for them is much greater than the regular and quick jarring on iron plugs, w inch we have recommended on former occasions, and which have always proved _ entirely successful. Putting Away Tools. The wearing out of farm implements is, as a rule, due more to neglect than to use. If tools can be well taken care of, it will pay to buy those j made of the best steel, and finished in I the best manner; but in common i hands, and with common care, such j are of little advant age. Iron and steel! parts should be cleaned with dry sand j and a cob, or scraped with a piece of ; soft iron, washed and oiled if necessary, and in a day or two cleaned off with a corn-cob and dry sand. Finally paint the iron part with resin and beeswax, in the proportion of four of resin to one of wax, melted together and applied hot. This is good for the iron or steel parts of every sort of tool. Wood-work should be painted with v good, boiled, linseed oil, white lead and turpentine, colored to any desired tint; red is probably the best color. Keep | the cattle away until the paint is dry i and hard, or they will Hck it, with death as the result. If it is not desired to use paint on hand tools, the boiled oil with turpentine and "liquid drier/' does just as welL Many pre fer to saturate the wood-work of farm. | implements with crude petroleum This cannot be used with color, but is applied by itself, so long as any is absorbed by the pores of the wood.?Agriculturist. Hi : The Best Cattle for Beef and Jlilk. - The best breed of cattle for com- j bined beef and milk purposes, says the j able Rural New Yorker, is unques- j tionably the shorthorn, but we must j take the precautions to select such as I come from what is called the milking families. The cows of this class give j very large messes of milk, excellent for j cheese or butter. When aged and no longer wanted for the dairy, they can : ? - ? 1- - .1 -T .1 ! De an eel on, put on to gooa ieea <uiu | will then fatten very rapidly and make j choice beef. The steers bred from j these cows, when properly fed, attain j great -weights at two and two and a half years old, and may be fully matured at three to four years old. They ? turn out first quality beef, which brings the highest price both in the home and foreign markets. These great milking cows must never be turned out to run with their calves, unless they ire milked clem by hand night and morning, for till the j calf attains two to three months! nf norft it. cannot take all its dam's ' milk, and in consequence of this it j keeps the cow in great pain, and often : spoils part -of the bag or one or more of the teats by drying and caking there. This retention also occasionally causes ; a running sore, which it is very diffi-: cult subsequently to heal. If the calf is to be turned out to run with the cow then select for your breeding such as come from the shorthorn families, which are only moderate milkers. At the West these are preferred to the great milkers because stock owners j generally want the calves to be turned ! out to run with their dams. They have so many animals on these large farms or ranches the owners do nut wish to be troubled about milking their cows. They do not make butter or cheese, the cattle being raised only for beef, and consequently thew want such cows as give no more milk than the calf can suck'clean, and thus prevent the bag or teats from getting injured. At a proper age the cow will wean the calf herself when it can obtain a good liv* ol/vno 'TVlii TiOVAT) lll^J IIVIJU yaoiuiv. nu>uv ^.uu i/v.v? breed 01 cattle are kept also for combined beef and milk. They are very Ifine in all their points, and of a pure bright red color. They are not so large as the shorthorns by one-fourth to onefifth; but in consequence of this, and being extremely active and hardy, they will thrive and fatten on shorter and rougher pasture than the shorthorn. There are individual animals of some other breeds which prove good for beef and milk, but they cannot be depended on with shorthorns and uevons. i ue tHoIsteins are worthy rivals of the shorthorns for the combined purpose of beef and milk production, but being much fewer in numbers they are not so widely known. A ChcmlNt on neiiiiRKC. The Boston Journal of Chemistry is high authority on all matters relating tr> tho cy-v rvT- of farming. The follow ing suggestions on the subject ;? en. silage are credited to that journal: There inconsiderable misapprehrnsicn among"farmers as to just where the saving is made. One hundred pounds cr cue ton of good ensilaged corn fodder contains n;ueh more nutriment than the same weight of green stalks, or its equivalent in the air-dried ' condition of the fodder. In all^ur experiments in the laboratory and obserH: vations in practical trials in the barn. the conclusion has been readied that the true value of silos does not consist k. ; in any importantincrease of nutrimentin fodder, but in the saving of expense in'storing and feeding it. If there is no saving in this direction ; if it costs r as much in time and labor to ensilage cornstalks as it docs to cut and dry K then: in the 5eW, and when in the ham IK 7 T . to cut and crush them, so that animals i will eat them readily, then there is no ; advantage in ensilage. It is a surprising fact that many, if : not most, farmers believe that scmeI thing valuable is lost in drying fodder: | they believe that important constitu| ents or rich plant-food go off witli the i water. This is an error. All the i moisture in cornstalks does not go off ! in field drying, and the air-dried ! plants which hold thirty or thirty-five : per cent, of the original water in the ! green state will keep well when stored for winter use. In drying grass or j corn fodder the water is by far the [ most volatile constituent, and as the I solid material, or nutrient oortions. is ' held only in suspension in the watery juices, the water evaporates, leaving | behind the heavier and more valuable particles. The disadvantage which exi ists when ensilaged fodder corn is con! trasted with the dry fodder is only ap| parent, not real. Animals will eat, di! gest and assimilate, and cows will give as much milk, and oxen and horses will do as much work when dried corn fodder is fed to them as when fed with the same ensilaged. If the dried corn fodder is cut and crushed and moistened with a little warm water, animals will eat it up clean with as great relish as they apparently do ensilage. There is no advantage in ensilaging corn or other kinds of fodder, unless it be in a saving of expense, in time and labor, and in convenience of feeding. The conclusions which we have reached irorri a careful consideration of this subject are supported by recent experiments at the Xew Jersey experiment station, conducted under the supervision of Professor Cook. His results are of great interest to farmers, ai.d coroborate the views upon ensilage so often expressed in the Journal and elsewhere. Professor Cook's exi periments extend over a period of nearly six months, and were made with green fodder corn, air-dried, and ensilaged corn. The experiments were conducted in the barn in feeding cows with the different forms of fodder, and in the laboratory in testing results, and they are in the highest degree trustworthy. He sums up the results as. follows: First?When the o-rppn corn was dried in stacks in the field, the lo^s was less than it was when the corn was packed in a silo. Second?"When dried corn fodder was cut and crushed it was eaten by cows quite as readily and with as little waste as ensilage. Third?In three cases, the yield of milk was not increased when ensilage was substituted for drifd corn. Fourth?In the mixed milk for twenty days of one herd of cows, ensilage caused no increase in the yield of total solid matter in the milk, while in another herd it caused a gain of only seven per cent. The opinions of those who have been using ensilage in their farm barns during the past winter are as a whole favorable to the new form of fodder. We have taken considerable pains to investigate the nature of the contents of silos, and the effects upon stock of the food drawn from them, and are prepared to say that all questions regarding their safety and high profit are not conclusively settled. It is probable that the whole matter of ensilaging crops will undergo a complete revolution in a few years. The present expensive silos may be fould not so well adapted to the purpose as others of cheaper construction. It is not probable that ensilaging will fall into disuse, but that better methods and cheaper structures will supplant those now in use. Recipes. Ginger Pop.?Take three-quarters of a pound of white sugar, one ounce of cream of tartar, one ounce of ginger and the juice and grated rind of one lemon. Put these all together in a jar and pour over it all four quarts of boiling water; let it stand until it is lukewarm; then add one tablespoonful of fresh yeast and nearly one tablespoonful of wintergreen or sassafras, let tliis stand for twenty-four hours, then put in bottles, cork tightly and seal; it will be ready for use in a few days. Coffee Custard.?Lovers of coffee will find that a custard made after the foliowing recipe is simply delicious; it should be served with sponge and fruit cakes: .Make a rich custarri ai xeasi half cream; to a quart of cream and milk allow four eggs if they are large, five if small; sweeten to your taste;! cook in a farina kettle; when done stir in two-thirds of a teacupful of cold coffee; the coffee should be strained through a cloth, so that there will be 110 dark-colored specks in the custard. If you fear chat the custard will not be as thick as you like to have it you may use a small tablespoonful of com starch or of common flour. Gingerbread.?Good plain gingerbread is made of t\v o pounds of flour, half a pound of butter, half a pound 01 sugar, two tablespoonfuls each of cinnamon and ginger, one pint of molasses, a teaspoonful of soda dissolved i - * i in a nail cup ui. ixuxa., ij. ?vu have sour milk, use that, ancl add a half teaspoonful more of the soda.j Bake in very thin layers; mark each layer with a fork in lines an inch apart. The oven should be hot when the gingerbread is put in. Home-made Sauces.?Home-made sauces help to keep the grocery bill small, and they may be as appetizing and even more so than anything we can buy if made with due .thought. A piquant horse-radish sauce is a good relish with roast beef or with fish. Take two teaspoonfuls of made mustard, two of white sugar, a little salt and vinegar enough to make the sauce of the proper quality; pour this over a teacupful of grated horse-radish root. Excellent tomato sauce is made by I peeling and cutting in small pieces a ; dozen large, ripe and juicy toj matoes; add six small, green pej> I pers and two medium-sized j onions ; chop these very fine, stir in a i coffee-cupful ot vinegar, two or three tablespoonfuls of brown sugar, a heaping tablespoonful of salt (more if your taste demands it), a teaspoonful each of ginger, cloves, allspice and cinnamon ; stew the tomatoes and all the ingredients but sugar and vinegar for an hour and a half slowly, add sugar and vinegar five minutes before taking | from the lire. Another tomato sauce I is made of a peck of ripe tomatoes, j two onions, half a dozen rod peppers, j half a pint of salt, two tanlespoonfuls i of black pepper, two of mace, two of : ginger and two of allspice and cloves | mixet1. Cut the tomatoes and onions in pieces and boil for two hours ; when cold stir in a pint of vinegar. This is a sour sauce, and it keeps well. Then there are delicious catsups of tomatoes and of cucumbers : these are a little more trouble to make as they must be strained and carefully bottled, l.ut they are so satisfactory that tire trouble does not count for much, after ' all. i Ilonsehcld A su*e and safe v.*av to remove i grease spots from silk is to rub the spot ! quickly with brown paper ; the friction ! will soon draw out the grease.

A Russian Romance. Among the ladies of honor of the ; late empress Marie, of Russia, was ; one of her country-women, a young ; Hessian, of whom she was particularly ; fond. One evening, says a Paris c6> j respondent, when alone with her j sovereign, Mile. X. threw herself at the ! imperial feet, and, with many tears, i avowed that she was loved by the | grand duke Alexis and returned his i passion, wherefore she besought her ! majesty to consent to their union, j The imperial reply was an immediate i order to the petitioner to retire to | her family at Darmstadt and to the I prince to join his squadron in the ! Baltic. Bat the august masters of j Russia had not calculated upon the ! strength of true love. Mademoiselle got away from her parents, or more probably helped by them to make the journey, took passage on a Cunard steamer, and joined the man of her choice in America, where they were nrivatelv married. You remember I the visit" of the grand duke to the Uni ted States, of course, but neither you nor any one else had an idea that he was there on a sort of wedding tour. j I am assured, though, that the facts are as stated, but fancy that there is a I chronological error, and that the episode is of much more recent date. I However that may be, the pair were joined in holy wedlock, and the reI ception of their marriage certificate i raised a terrible commotion on the ! banks of the 2sTeva. Disgraces and vicissitudes of all kinds followed the exploit; Alexis was threatened and cajoled to break off the "disgraceful [ connection," but he held out bravely, ! and as the czars own airair wiui the princess Dolgorouki came in the nick of time to incline the paternal heart to indulgence, Alexander II. finally agreed to shut his eyes to his son's situation, although sternly refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the marriage. Like the people in the fairy tide, Alexis and his bride were very happy, and now, at the solicitation of the czarina, who appreciates the beauties of a united household, -Alexander III. proposes to give the marriage his official sanction. Alexis is one of the most distinguished members of the imperial family, lie resembles, in many ways, his uncle, the grand duke constantine, and, believing himself much superior, intellectually and physically, t<> his brothers, for years pinned his faith on the prediction of a gypsy, by whom it was foretold that he would some day be seated on the throne of the Romanoffs. At one time, indeed, circumstances seemed to point to the I +1.;^ rv>>Ani^o.ov HPVio "fircf*. | IfclilZ-cillUii UJL bliid j*. m.a*. I born of the czar (lied at Xice, the Grand ' j duke Alexander, the present emperor, seemed incapable of holding the scepter, and gave no promise of becoming, what he has become, thanks to his wife, a deep thinker and earnest worker, while the grand duke VladiI mir, an effeminate pleasure-seeker, i would have sold his birthright for a ! casket of jewels, so that Alexis ap! peared to be the only one in a con| dition to succeed his father. Sincei this events have upset all those calcui lations, but have not destroyed his as[ pirations after sovereign grandeur. | His dream was Byzantine, the longI cherished secret ambition of his uncle [ Constantine, but there again he was j doomed to disappointment, and so j turned toward Asia, where he hopes to found an empire. As anything and everything is possible in this world, who* knows whether this dauntless I energy may not yet present an inir perial crown to her whom, in the teeth of all opposition, he has succeeded in making a princess ? Oysters. j Xew York, writes "Hermit," in the | Troy Times, is an oyster-eating city, ; and indeed always has been, and the I legal enactments protecting oyster beds | date as early as 1737, nearly a century | and a half ago. Oysters are as cheap j food as the market affords, and yet i they are much increased in price. Ten years ago they were sold by the cargo j at fifteen cents a bushel, but now they ! are four times that price. The cause of this advance is found in the fact f that 6.000,000 of oysters are eaten in j this city annually, while the export I trade is immense. There are 400 | schooners bringing oysters from Virginia to New York, the average cargo ' being 2,00(^usheLs. The oyster busi| ness in this city employs 12,000 persons, the most important being the ; '-stabber." The rapidity with which j some of these fellows work is asi tonishing, but it requires years of practice. The cheapest place is a small saloon near the foot of Spring street, where a bowl of oyster soup and two soda crackers can be had for five cents. Ten cents per bowl is the price in "Washington market, and the woman who keeps this stand is getting rich. I To meet inc wants 01 tue puui n uu : cannot patron ize saloons there is a class ! of night peddlers whose business be| gins with gas-light, and who obtain ! small oysters at a low price for this purpose. It is curious to observe the j similarity of the names by which this j popular shell fish is known in all lanj guages. For instance, there is tha j German auster, the Dutch oester, the i Swedish ostra, the Danish oster, the | Russian ystritz, the Cornish estren, the j Latin ostrea and the Greek osteon. ! Oysters when sent from the market to j the customers' houses are always car ried in pails painted blue on tne outside and white on the inside, this being one of the oldest customs in the trade. The Mouse and the Lion.

Their Intelligence Increasing Under Civil!., zntion at the Expeatte of Their Physical Powers. I)r. F. J. Quinlan, who has been four years physician to the Sioux reserva tion, in Dakota Territory, gave a -NewYork reporter the following facts in regard to the Indians, their habits and customs, and the present condition and future prospects of the great Missouri valley: TV *,-,,. Aiie oiuuA uauuu, ocuu Quinlan, by way of introduction, " extends from the ."Nebraska line on the south to the Cannon Ball river on the north, and embraces all that area of territory from the Missouri river, which forms its eastern boundary, 200 miles west. This vast territory comprises the Sioux reservation, and included within its boundaries are the Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Santee, Cheyenne and Standing Rock agencies. rni _ .11 AO A A A inese agencies contain m au ?o,-?w Indians, divided as follows: Standing Rock, 5,000; Red Cloud, 6,000: Spotted Tail, 7,000; Cheyenne, 2,400: Santee, 3,000. Standing Rock is about sixty-live railes south of the frontier town of Bismarck, on the west side of the Missouri river. There is a romance connected with the origin of the name Standing Rock. The agency buildings are on a plateau 150 feet above the level of the water and about ftait a nine irom tne oanK 01 me river. As one reaches the agency proper at the forks of one of the roads he sees an upright column or rude block of stone, from which the agency takes its name. This stone is about three feet high and eighteen inches in diameter at the base, and it tapers toward the top. It is covered with vermillion and other gorgeous paints, and gayly decked with beads and Iroquois shells. Strips of scarlet list-cloth with feathers pendant, are sometimes used as decorations, and these together with the starinjr colors attract the eye of the stranger, and often fill him with wonder and amazement. This stone is supposed to be the petrified remains of a Ree Indian woman who was of a very jealous disposition. All this country once belonged to the Ree nations, and is now held by the Sioux by virtue of conquest. This Indian woman's husband was a fine looking brave and very much of a beau, and kept his fair bride in ^ a.

One day she went out into the fields to have her usual 'cry,' and not returning her friends sought, her and finally found her petrified, as they said, in a sitting posture with her head resting on her hands.

When food is plenty they eat and are merry; when the food fViomcolTroc to id UACJ i w wv their condition, and they will submit to a famine with as much indifference and cheerfulness as though it were a feast. A -wonderful change for the better, however, has been brought about within the past eighteen months through the energy and good management of the agent at Standing Rock, Major James McLaughlin. lie has given matters there his personal super-. vision, and the consequence is that nearly all the Indians are industrious and thrifty, their farms are well kept and there is now every prospect of an abundant harvest of com, oats, wheat, potatoes and other crops. All the chiefs and their tribes who with Sitting Bull participated in the Custer massacre in 1876 are now peaceable and prosperous farmers at the Standing "Bock agency, the only notable exception being the famous Sitting Bull, who is a prisoner at Fort Randall, 250 miles south of Standing Rook. "Every tuo weeks the Indian with his family receives from the government his supplies of coffee, sugar, rice, tobacco, bacon, baking powder, flour and fresh beef, each child one day old receiving as much as an adult. These articles are furnished to the government under contracts, and are all of the best quality. Every year they also reg ive clothing for themselves and their families, cooking utensils and everything else required for housekeeping; also, among the industrious and successful of the farmers, farming implements, with improved mowing machines, working oxen and other necessary articles. " The Indians of to-day are noi the same as the Indians of fifty years ago. .There are a great many forms of disease not known to their ancestors; that are now prevalent among them, such as consumption scrofula and kindred diseases. Many of these ailments have been brought about by the many great changes that have been forced upon them?the climatic amerence in tne country from what it used to be, the bringing of the Indian in from his wild life to the cramped and constrained conditions of civilization?in short, the crowding of them out of their natural position has entailed upon them many of the physical ills of their more civilized neighbors and caused them to deteriorate sadly from the proud position they once held of perfect health and robust physical manhood.

" In point of social condition, however, the Indians of the Sioux reservation are decidedly on the road toward improvement. There are at Standing Rock two schools?one for boys and one for girls. Ths former is under the care of the Benedictine Brothers, and the latter of the Benedictine Sisters. There are in all about 100 pupils in the two schools-?half-breeds and fullblooded Indians. All are instructed thoroughly in the common branches of English education, the boys in addition being taught farming, and the girls sewing, knitting and different household duties. At the proper age they are allowed to marry, and the govern ment sets them up in life, with household furniture, farming implements, etc. There are on the reservation many half-breeds, and these all enjoy the same privileges as the Indians. In my opinion much of the mischief done by the Indians is due to the influence of the half-breeds, who possess the shrewd, sly cunning of the Indian, mixed with the superior intelligence of the white man?a very unfortunate mixture under the circumstances. There are two licensed traders, whites, who are under the supervision of the government and who are compelled to deal honestly and fairly with the Indians. Xo intoxicating liquors are allowed to be sold to them, under severe penalties. After the Custer massacre thej were all disarmed and dismounted. Xowmany of them have ponies, and all the transportation of supplies from the landing to the agency is (lone by the Indians. There are no white settlers allowed at the agency, except employes of the government, but all along the east side of the Missouri river there are numerous little settlements spri nging up and also many successful ant. prosperous farmers."

Xo marriage is legal in France ex- j cept with the consent of the parents of : both parties ; but a man or woman over twenty-five years of age may1 "respectfully cite" his or lier parents to show cause why they refuse con- j sent. If they fail to show good cause,! the marriage may proceed in spite of them; but the fact that these proceedings are seldom resorted to proves how close are the ties of family duty in j France. It may be added that many a confiding English girl, properly mar- i ried to a Frenchman in her own parish I church, has found herself no wife when once she crossed the Channel, and been deserted in misery and disgrace. A Keen Rebuke. He was a commercial traveler on his tvay from Bowling Green to Ilopkinsville, Kv. There was a wait of three hours at Guthrie, and a party of young ladies, with lively young married persons acting as matrons, made the station ring with merriment. They were going to visit the Mammoth cave. The face of one of them is a study?a perfect oval, yet with that rich, warm brunette tint that you see more often in the JLatin races tnan in tne Angio- ] Saxon. Her eyes looked out from under j tlie broad brim of a Gainesborough hat, I through half closed lids, wonderfully j tantalizing in their subdued mirth, co-1 quetry, and love of life, lightly veiled ; with the laziness of good breeding. | The brassy and dapper little wretch of j a "drummer" had been watching the ; girls as a cat would a bevy of frolic-! some and unsophisticated mice. Hastily j seizing and returning a handkerchief accidentally dropped by the Gainesborough beauty, he seeks, with the audacity of his class, to open conversation: " A very gay party you have, miss." "Yes," says she, quietly, bowing acknowledgment of the handkerchief, and letting her laughing etes drift slowIv over him: "but then, you see, we know each other." A very keen remark, keen-eyed as a Damascus blade, but perfectly "ladylike in its unruffled good temper. The "drummer" retreated. Ida Lewis. A Newport letter says : TVithin a ihort mile of the quay at Newport, Lyme xock rises out of the waters of Narragansett bay. On this rock stands the old lighthouse which was tended for many years by the father of Ida Lewis, anil of which she now, under the seal of the government commission, is keeper. Sec-tiring the services of the captain of a diminutive boat, I sailed on the waters blue to her abode for the purpose of paving her my respects. As we approached the rock an immense mastiff, with head and paws like a lion and a roar like far-off thunder, came to its extreme verge and disputed our landing. He was entirely successful until the heroine appeared, called him off in the lowest of tones and locked him up in an outhouse. She then invited me into the little house, on the top of which rests the beacon light which has for so many years warned the navigator of hidden dangers, and at once entered into easy and unrestrained conversation. She said that she had for twenty-five years lived on that rock; that she used fo be fond of going into thp rif.v on op in awhile, but that she cared very little for it now; that she always had a great many visitors in the | summer, a few years ago the number reaching thousands in one season. She showed me her medals received from Congress, the State of Massachusetts and the city of Newport, and a sojjjl silver teapot from the officers at Fort Adams, all bearing suitable inscriptions in testimonial of her heroism in rescuing so many human beings from watery graves.

Every thing about her and her apartments bore the evidence of neatness, care and good taste. Her mother, a venerable old lady, with thick silver hair, was very talkative, and discoursed on matters and things, personal and otherwise, at length. She informed me she had rheumatism in her feet, and Ida insisted that it was tecause she had dyed her hair for so many years.

Turbans are worn this autumn. The best rosewood comes from Rio Janeiro. Satin rosettes are seen on Frcnch evening dresses. All soft, dull colors, will remain in fashion during the winter. Ottoman silks with figures in satin are shown with new goods. Bonnets for autumn wear have straw brims and velvet crowns. Matelasse plush and silk matelasse will be used this winter for cloakings. Hats are being introduced with velvet crowns and straight straw brims. Black and cardinal stripes will be substituted for black and white stripes this winter. The newest black hosiery is dyed with the anchor dye and warranted to be fast in color. \ The new velvet brocades have a changeable ground in two colors, one of which is repeated in the figure. Among new trimmings is Pompadour lace. It has raised figures of muslin with Irish point stitches for borders: The small capotc bonnets and French toques are still at the height of style for elegant dress. They certoinlv Vinvn a mnro fiill-rlrfKJt: flir t.hnn the wide-brimmed hat or poke bonnet". In the arrangement of the coiffure, heavy bangs, " Montagues," or thick rings of hair, arc now considered " bad form " by the mo^t fashionable people, and only the lightest, babyish fluff of hair now shades the fcrebead. Large quantities of velvet are imported for suits and wraps, and a revival of velvet cloaks is an accepted fact for the coming winter.

Russian pelisses, the long, tight fitting basques which reach to the bottom of the dress skirt and are now worn by ladies, made of cashmere and simply trimmed with a full pinked ruche of the same material, will be repeated for winter in ladies' cloth. The most elegant silk stockings have medallions set in the instep with silk embroidery. Black silk stocking* :ire ornamented with black thread lace.

These will be used for the corsage, and the stripe will enhance the slender, long-waisted effect now in vogue. The front of the skirt will be made of plain plush, and the padded paniers and back drapery will be of the striped goods. The Suez Canal. As regards the Suez canal itself one may say with the tourist who spends a day in the town of Hanover, "There was nothing to see, and I saw it thoroughly." Two interminable banks of grayish yellow sand, at first only a few feet above the water, but growing gradually higher and steeper as they trend southward; a little ribbon of light-green water, about seventy feet broad by somewhat over twenty-six deep in the center, lying between them, a huge "dredger" rising from the smooth surface like a castle every here and there, with a clamorous garrison 01 oiue-smneu men and red-capped, dark-faced lads, who send a volley of shrill cries after every passing steamer; an occasional steam launch, contemptuously apostrophized hv our sailors as " Puffing Billy," snorting past with a crew composed of three men and flag, and all around, as far as the eye can reach the dim, dreary immensity of the great Libyan desert?such were the leading features of the famous Oriental thoroughfare when I first traversed it on my way to Arabia, ten years ago, and such tney still remain. But dwarfed though it may be, like the tiny railway connecting the Volga with the Don, by the mighty desolation of its surroundings, the Suez cnnal has nevprtholess. a touch of life every here and there, the artistic value of which is augmented tenfold by its dismal background. A patch of green foliage, encircling two or three small wooden huts, fIiows itself suddenly upon the hot brassy yellow of the never-ending sand hills, proving that the unfortunate menw ho their illluck has made station-keepers in this hideous region have done their best to make such an existence endurable. At one of these hermitages civilization has advanced so far as to develop a long one-storied building with "Billiards" painted on its front, for your true Frenchman, whether on a deserted island or in the .1 A1.~ ~C Ufptiis Ui ilie canai a, uiuou uo,\k> aaao cafe and his billiard-table. In a deep hollow, between two high lamps, half a dozen camels lie crouched on the earth, with their long necks out, stretched in lazy enjoyment, while three or four more ridden by swarth y keen-eyed, white-turbaned Arabs, come slouching along the crest of the ridge with slow, noiseless stride. A flock of native sheep, brown and shaggy as their own shepherds, trot over the brow of the further bank and disappear behind it. A little further on a swarm of blue-frocked natives, black and shriveled as overfried sausages, are picking and shoveling away a huge lump of the bank which has suddenly rolled down into the water, while others are carrying off the earth in baskets upon their heads ?a sight which recalls a story of ail English friend of mine, employed on one of the East Indian railways, who served out wheelbarrows to his gang in the hope of superseding the earthbaskets, and the next morning found them actually carrying the wheelbarrows on their heads in the same manner. A sudden bend brings us in sight of a little white beehive of stone or baked earth, probably a native tomb, perched on the summit of a steep conical mound, and beside it stands a primitive sentry box, consisting simpiy 01 a mm ia,iu uu four upright canes, from which an Arab watchman is supposed to look for passing steamers when he has nothing better to amuse him. A huge Peninsular Oriental boat comes lazily along, looking delightfully cool and shady under outspread awnings,beneath which the young ladies are leaning over the rail in summer toilet, with three or four gentlemen hovering nervously around them in a way that might tempt one to abuse once more that overworked simile of the moth and the candle.?New York Times. The Umbrella. Of course we must seek the origin of umbrellas in the shatle provided by the overhanging branches of trees, but it adds something of interest to our subject when we read of the banyan tree found near the Ganges, which is the counterpart in appearance of the modern umbrella, being of pyramidal form, sloping from a central summit to the extremity of the lotfer branches. Here, no doubt, was the first rude idea of the i familiar article 01 every-uay use, <tuu ! great as is the perfection to which it j has been brought, it is a question i whether the most highly finished silk j umbrella or satin sunshade of to-day affords more practical shelter than the I primitive attempts of the earliest civij lizations. Tiie Chinese umbrella has : much to recommend it. It is light, i easily opened and serves the purpose for which it is intended, and the ChinaI man lias rested comfortably contented j with the article as it was 1 landed down i to him. What a suggestion of satisfied j humanity this fact conveys. It is i really enviable, while the contrast af| fordwl by the seething, pushing, exI citable determination to improve upon everything that was ever done before 1 - ' ?; -J.; c ii.. -c~ | is eminently cnar act ensue ui tue iuiuc j of "Western civilization and progress, j From the simple leaf carried over i the ant's defenseless back, or the pvra' midal banyan tree, have been evolved ; the perfected umbrella and sunshade of to-day, and by the same involutionary j process improvements will go on year j by year, patents will be demanded unj til some article of elegance at present I undreamed of by us will be the result i of the natural law of selection. There ! is no telling to what greatness we may I yet aspire in the umbrella field, in face { of the fact that in jingianaoov patents ! were taken out for improvements in : these necessary articles within a period ; of less than eighty years, and in one i year more than twenty-five patents : were granted to inventors and improvj ers in the United States! The march of ideas xipon the subject ; is proved by the delinition of an i umbrella as given to-day and as found i in a dictionary dating 1700. Webster ' " -- | L61iS US mill iUl uiiiuicua, is ii juauc, j screen or guard, carried in the hand, I for sheltering the person from the rays ; of the sun and from rain or snow," ! while Kersey, 150 years ago, defined it as " a screen commonly used by women ! to keep off the rain." Ten years ago the number of " persons" who coni sidered the shelter desirable was so | great that the value of umbrella manui factures in the States alone was nearly i AAA AHA tm.i? onnum ;irw1 it k rp?virf r?i] j ?'J,UW,WU JVtl ciwu.iw., ,..iu .v j,*,*.,,*. j that since that time the importance of i this branch of industry is nearly I doubled. There is a curions connecj tion between umbrellas and dishonesty, i It is an open question whether any one I could be convicted of "stealing" an I umbrella ; for the most part they ap! pear to be public property. Books j and umbrellas (a curious conjunction | by the way) are apparently not con! sidered as personal property. Eitliet can be borrowed indefinitely.?New York Times. An honest man is the noblest pursuit of woman. The Speed of Modern Steamships, j In an article contributed by S. G. "W. | Benjamin to the Century the author describes the improvements in ocean steamships and says : Thirty years ago sixteen days was a fair allowance for the passage between England and ! Xew York by steam. By gradual i steps the point was reached when , eleven days was the minimum, and j this startled the world. Then began a rivalry between the Inman and White Star lines, attended by a succession of runs showing a gradual increase of speed, which proved a great advertise-1 ment for these lines. In 1S71 the! average time of twenty-four crack voy- 1 ages by these lines was eight days, fifteen j hours and three minutes. The Adriatic's j i best westward time was forty-three j ! minutes less. It should be remein-' bered that the westward passage is! generally longer than in the other di- i I rection, owing to westerly winds and I i the Gulf stream. In emulation of this ! : speed in 1877 the City of Berlin, of the Inman line, made the trip to Queenstown from New York in seven days, fourteen hours and twelve minutes, and in the same year the Britannic, of the White Star line, crossed from Queenstown in seven days, ten j i limirs nnrl fiftv-t.hree minutes. In 1879 i ! a new rival appeared in the field, the j : Arizona, of the Guion line. This steamship made the eastward passage : in]1880 in seven days, ten hours and . forty-seven minutes, and in one trip in 1881 she lessened this time about three : hours. This seemed to be about the : best that could be expected of these 1 superb ships, when the new Guion < steamer Alaska, after a number of astonishing runs, accomplished the west- ; ward passage between the two ports, on April 18, 1882, in seven days, six : hours and twenty minutes, actual time, against heavy seas. In a subsequent trip eastward she ran the distance in six days and twenty-two hours, actual ' time. In this, the quickest passage ever made across the Atlantic, the Alaska traveled 2,895 knots, being < about an average of 41Si knots per dav, for seven successive days. It will be observed that the increase of speed has been graduated in proportion to the gradual increase of size. The : ships of 1850 were rarely much over 2,500 tons, and were barely 300 feet long. : Xow -the average length of ocean steamc-rs is upward of 400 feet, while , 500 feet is not uncommon. The City of Home is 586 feet long and registers 8,826 tons; the Servia is 530 feet and 8,500 tons; the Alaska is 520 feet and 6,932 tons. The Austral, intended for the Australian trade, is 474 feet long and forty-eight feet, three* inches broad, and registers 9,500 tons. The measurements of this vessel, and of : the new Cunarder Cephalonia, which is 440 feet long by 46 feet beam, indicate that the reaction against extreme length has already commenced in the great shipyards of Great Britain, being in each of these cases less than ten beams to the length. A Colored Hercules. Bill Hood, a colored giant, who formerly lived in Madison, Ind., recently died at his home in Jackson county, aged seventy years. Ilood was a remarkable man in manv respects, and for strength was without an equal thirty years ago. He was a teamster, and often while engaged in hauling rock, would lift with perfect ease and place on his wagon flagstones that would require the strength of three or four ordinary men. When his team would stall in chuck-Jioles. he would place his back under the axle of the wagon and hoist the load out of the hole. "When in his cups he was somewhat quarrelsome, and conscious of his great strength, would defy the officers of the law and their nosses. Unon more than one occasion the officers had to shoot and disable him before T" they could arrest him. Upon one occasion a crowd of railroaders caught him in a liquor store, and by doubling teams on him, thought they could whip him. They accordingly locked the door to prevent his escape, and then informed him of their intention, when he immediately commenced to defend himself by taking the ringleader by the nape of the neck and the seat of the pantaloons, and raisins him above his head, threw him clear through the show window and out on the pave ment. He then began to knock the others down with his fists, and floored them right and left, until he had the whole crowd down, when he quietly un- 1 locked the door and made his way home, but not without a good many bruises, as his antagonists had been busy all the j time belaboring him with ax handles j and such like weapons. His superhuman strength was such, however, j that he soon overcame things which ; would have killed an ordinary man. Tlie General('s) Experience.
