The Jlaunfaetisre oi' Tiles. Tiles, being a thinner ware than bricks, have to be made of a purer and stronger clay. They also require more careful treatment, but the process of manufacture is not essentially different. There are many varieties of tiles, but for practical purposes they may be reduced to three, namely, paving tiles, roofing tiles and drain tiles. In weathering, the clay is spread in layers of about two inches thickness during winter, and each layer is allowed the benefit of at least one night's trost beiore tue succeeding layer is put upon it. Sometimes the process is affected by sunshine. The comminuted clay is next placed in pits and allowed to mellow or ripen under water. Then it is passed through the pug mill, and the tempered product cut in thin slices with a piece of wire iixed to two handles, in order to detect any stone, and then passed through the pug mill again, after which it is generally ready for molding. To take the case of pan tiles (hand molded) the molder ti?rns the tile out of the flat mold onto the washing-off frame, on the covered surface of which, with very wet hands, he trnshpsi if. into a curved shane. Then he i strikes it with a semi-cylindrical instrument called the splaver, and conveys it on this to the flat block, where he deposits it, with the convex side uppermost, ami, removing the splaver, leaves the tile to dry. The tile is afterward beaten on the thwacking frame, to correct any warping that may have occurred, and trimmed with the thwacking knife. In the kiln, which is constructed with arched furnaces at the base of a conical erection called the ! dome, the tiles are closely stacked in j upright position, on a bottom of vitre- j fied bricks. The fuel used is coal, and i burning continues usually about six I days. In making pipe drain tiles, the j clay is first molded to a proper length, j width and thickness, then wrapped | around a drum; the edges are closed j 11 -I 4.1. ? : Wgeuier iiuu tuc 111c is> uui-uun ; shaped by the operator's hand, some- ; times assisted by a wooden tool.

In depicting the ten?per and dispO' rition of the wolf, uch adjectives as 'ruthless, cunning and treacherous" itre invaviablv used, and with perfect justice. It would appear, therefore, at first sight almost incredible that there should be many instances on record where children have been car rieci away; ami instead of being do ! voured, as would assuredly have been | the case had the marauder been a panther or leopard, they have been ; suckled, tended and reared by them. | Some cf these have afterward been re- j covered, and at this moment there j exists a specimen wolf-child at Secun- j dra, a small missionary station a few i miles from Agra; so that the story of i Romulus and Remus may not be so ; entirely without foundation as we ; have hitherto been led to suppose. Wolves ns a rule prey upon the j docks and herds of the inhabitants of J the villages in whose neighborhood j they have made their dens, and upon ; such wild animals as they can hunt j :lown and capture. Among these lat- ' ter may he mentioned the gazelle-antelope and the black-buck; and many and ingenious are the devices they resort to in order to achieve their purnose. But in the northwestern pro- J vinees ct India, as about Agra, in Oude I and IJajpootana. they arc also very do- | sir-active to children. Hindoos of all ! classes are exceedingly superstitious j regarding the destruction of these pre- i datory brutes, and consider the indi- j vidua! who has been unfortunate j enough to shed a drop of wolfs blood ! doomed to suffer soma grievous calamity. Hence, though a government reward of three rapees per head is offered, it is only the very lowest of all castes?the "Domes or Dangars," as they are called?who will take the trouble to snare and destroy wolves. These people lead a vagrant life and l-tiir/win in tl.o inrj.-l.-v: am! nn superstitious dread of killing any liv- ! ing thing. The following hypothesis may explain how it conies to pass that so cruel ami relentless an animal as the wolf sh-aiM sometimes be found enacting the int resting part of fostermother to one of tii.e human species. A female with cub? g.>es prowling ! about in search of food for its young, ! and succeeds in ravishing an Indian j home of its infant for that purpose, j The cubs, for s->me reason or other? | not oversensitiveness, certainly, but { because their carnivorous instincts aro j as yet comparatively dormant?merely j lick the child all over. This probably, ! 90.w.!tit(f tn t ::? Oiv'fi 4\f wolfish oti quotte, is equivalent to having eaten salt with an Arab, and the infant is henceforth adopted l>y the parent and suckled and brought up with the cubs. Although the human tendency is to go on two legs, we know that even among ourselves babies commence by crawling. Xow, man is essentially an imitative animal, and seeing the wolves going on all-fours, the alien naturally tries the same method of progression. It would appear, however, that it has found the hands ill-adapted for use in lieu of forefeet, and as a rule the elbows are employed for that purpose; in" consequence of this choice, the knees too have to be used instead of the feet, and hence horny excresences are usu ally found on both the knees and the elbows. Perhaps the subjoined true narrative of a wolf-child that has been captured in India may prove interesting. One morning many years ago -Mr. II?, who happened at the time to be magistrate and collector of the Etawah u-ic nut ri.lino- ;1 CMm r>flT> 5 P(1 by a couple of sowars or mounted j orderlies. They were passing over a portion of road that lay in the vicinity >f the ravines of the river Jumna, j vlien two half-grown wolf-cubs crossed heir path ; and following them more lowly, came a very remarkable-looking xeature, which shambled along on all volf-child. Letting the ^ mmolested, the three men pi^v... ,o hunt down the human cub, and i nicceeded in bringing it to bay. As i ;hey wished to take the creature dive, and were altogether un- ; svilling to hurt it in any way, i ;hey found the greatest difficulty ! .n. attempting to secure it; for it fought, bit and clawed with ex- ; treme fierceness and pertinacity; in- ; iced, having driven it into a corner, j Mr. II? and one of tiie sowars had to j mount guard, while tne otner nauvu : proceeded to the nearest village and j ?ot a stout blanket for the purpose of j throwing it over its head; and it was j by this means that the capture was at j length effected. All the way home { the wolf-child behaved like a mad ! thing, screaming and howling, now j piteouslv, now in a paroxysm of im- j potent rage. It was, however, taken i to Mr. II?'s house; but it would not j be comforted, and for a long time re-' fused ali kinds of food, including raw ! meat. The creature was a boy of j about nine years of age; and it may j be here stated that no female wolf child has ever been heard of or seen, j It is not easy to a.-.->ign a sufficient j reason for the fact that females have j never been so discovered unless we j suppose that, being less vigorously | constituted, they have been unable to ; withstand the terrible hardships of i such an existence, and have very soon sickened and died.?Chambers' Journal. The Raj Business. The rag business in any large city is I one of no mean importance. In New j York there are estimated to be 2.000 j Italian rag-pickers, averaging in earn- | ings about thirty-live cents per day! each, and picking up ?7r>0,000 worth of i rags in the cuur.se of a year. This ; class get their rugs from ash barrels, ! gutters, etc., while there is another i class that go from house to house | with carts, buying, who do a business j of ?3.000.000 ner year. Besides these! there is the regular purchaser. Cotton j rags are the only kind imported, there j being no duty, and they come from al- i most every city in the world. This | variety brings from one and one-fourth J to six cents a pound, according to j condition and quality. Those coming from foreign countries are more i worn and dirth-r than those got from j home, and the latter bring the best j prices. Last year's importations of cotton rag* were $10,000,000, and tin;; total busine-s in litis kind is placed :it: ?22.<X)0.' Wooirn rags, in which a business of $9,000,000 annually is said | to be done in New York, are used in j manufacturing shoddies. and are gath ered from Kastorn and Western cities. | None are imported, the tariff amount- j ing to twflvexcents per pound, w"hilo j the rag; are worth i'rojn three to thirty-1 (iv,? About es'jrht hundred deal- ; ers. distinct from the Italians and pur- j chasers of housewives, make New ; York their place ?>f business, out of! which number one hundred and f ily ! are large operators. Less than a dozen large houses are credited with being capable of controlling the rag market. Twenty-five years ago the rag business was unknown in New York. A IVcakness for Hats. A man lias just been convicted at a ; Paris police court for stealing a hat j from a cafe. It appears that it was ; his practice to go into a cafe bare- j headed anil come out with the best hat! ho c,m!.l lav his hands on. In this case he had taken the hat of a man j who b listed that he ha I the biggest j head iti the city. At- the prisoner's j lodgings no less than forty-seven hats were discovered. The prisoner pleaded that he was absent-minded and had no head at all; the judge thought he had j too many hats tor a man with no head j and gave him six months' imprison- j ment. i 3MB Jfa&JjgT-f"! ?

One form of wash is made by adding one p<-und of whale oil soap to three gallons "l' warm water, stirring well and applying with a stilT broom or brush. The trunk should be rubbed thoroughly and hard to remove as much as possible of loose bark, so that the liquid may reach every part of the surface. Another good wash is a weak lye from wood ashes. A third wash is made by adding two quarts of soft water to one gallon of common soft soap. Place these in a vessel over the fire, and when warm the soap and water are readily combined by stirring, and should be apt>tied in the same manner as the whale oil application. The best results are obtained by washing the tree about three times during the season, applying the first in March or April, the second in June and the last in August.

Says tut.' Frederick (X. 15.) Maritime Farmer: >ume horses will slobber nearly ail they eat ; others ay hen they eat certain plants, usually 111 early summer, ami others are never known to do so. Horses thus affected will, when their diet is much restricted, sometimes cease the habit. Clean timothy and red-top hay, and clean oats fed in the straw (clean meaning free from weeds or other plants,) will usualiy caa.se a confirmed case of si jbering to <iop temporarily. A little clover, clover-hay, ragweed in the oats, and many other weeds, are liable to start it again, in fact will be quite sure to do ;<->. Thus it is clear that the tendency is constitutional in the ani- j mid, that a cause that would excite i slobbering in on,: animal, will not affect' another, and that it is excited by differ- j ent plants which the horse uses for food, either in the green or dry state. Ik-sides," the habit is said to come from partial paralysis of tl.e j nerves of the face, or of one side of the j face. l~s:i?!Jy, however, it comes from i some article of food, and it is mure ! often <*au.-ed *?v the second growth : clover than anything else.

Value ?2 .Sheep Manure. Sheep manure, from its coldness, j does not ferment like horse dung, and I tJi.-.rnl'Avft if-a V'llnp rmir?li ! longer than the excrement of the horse or man. It ranks among th?> very j best of the manures produced u? ani-1 mals, especially from those sheep that; are fed witli rich food for fattening purposes. As has been already stated, mastication of sheep is so perfect there is no danger of weed seeds coming up after ha\ ing passed through the stomach of a sheep. Both the urine and the dung are very rich in fertilizing properties. Urea, the active principle ' of urine, has a very large quantity of nitrogen in it. and sheep's urine contains, according to one of our best analysts, t wenty-eight parts of urea j in every 1,000 parts and twelve parts j of salt, among which is a large propor-! tioD of phosphoric acid. In 100 parts J of the dung of sheep there are sixty- j eight per cent, of water, 19.3 of animal I and vegetable matter, and 12.7 per i cent, of saline matters. This 19.3 per j cent, of organic matter Contains as ! much nitrogen, which is the value of j liirtiluiro iul uj-vlkl. v,v j huuo v'jl horse dung, sixty-three parts of hog manure, or 125 parts of cow dung, and ir; equal to 100 parts of the ordinary stable or barnyard manure. It is much dryer than ether iisaTiures, having but little water, j comparatively speaking. Tor instance. J let a hcr<-.1 n-ceivy 100 parts of dry j fodder. and hi* will defecate 216 pounds : of fresh manure. which, being dried, j makes forty-six pounds of dry manure, while the sheep,, with the same food, would give but 123 pounds of fresh manure, making forty-three pounds of dried. This i-; immure made with the ordinary method ui feeding, such as hay. fodder and such grass as they can pick up. But when sheep are fed with grain or ?-th-r highly stimulating food for fatl filing purpose.% with food rich nlVinmiin him lih, t.lm nil :tnd i iju muu.u* ii uw-i 2 ".v/ i , v..v v*starch uniy are assimilated and go to the formation of fat and liesh, while the remainder, including the larger' part of tin- salts, goes to the manure heap, thus adding very greatly to its; value as a laud application. This fact1 has long been known and used to the ! improvement of land by the English farmer and must l>e learned and practiced by our people. The declining fertility of our soil calls loudly for all the aid we can give it, and it is time to recognize the fact that if we continue ; t<? draw from the land and never put i anything toit it will afterawhilo cease; to respond to our calls upon it?KHii-; bmcs a beep fi-'isfxtnrf/y. I.iiv on There is not a cattij owner in the land who does <iot know tho great in-! jury sustain."-! by his stock when they j are afflicted with the presence of cattie lice, nor how gr<*at are the ditlieul- j tics when th" vermin have once obtained a gOt.U hold, to completely dislodge them. During the current year i there has been much discussion in the * - : VT-N .*1^. fliic : leaaing agi ui'iuuiai jwuiutuo vxi VLU^ subject, in which many of the lea.ling stock men have participated, in which nearly every writer has made the statement that his skill in effecting a riddance is candidly admitted. In some of our late exchanges we find the following remedy offered by Mr. C. W. Tenn^y, of Plymouth, Iowa, which <vith him ha> proved effective: Take common larkspur seed and it, and wash thoroughly every -arc ci the boSy. I have known - - . ? aj-plication to destroy every insect and ! egg. Two will suifice if done thoroughly. I give in addition two other remedies that I consider more effica cious than the other: mercurial ointment, kerosene and lard, tobacco smoke, a wash of tobacco (and, by the way, this is the only thing tobacco is lit for) or sulphur in salt. These all will sometimes injure the sicck. It.-6 this dry dust gathered from the road ;m<i sim-ri anu put m a uox lor winter (nature's remedy); rub it well in, and : as they hatch repeat. Also pulverized charcoal mixed with dust is still better. I have heard that line Indian meal or shorts were good, used in the same way. I know they are good to apply inside. When an animal is affected it should be immediately removed from the other stock and thoroughly treated, and not allowed to run until the whole herd is covered. The old-fashioned larkspur is the ' best, as it bears the most seed and is : perennial. A small patch will supply all the seed you will or ought to need, j Breeding for I). Z. Evans, Jr., says in American ! A'jrl'-ulturist: Aside from breeding | poultry "to feather," to be sold as high. | class thoroughbred fowls at high prices, I there is more profit in breeding poultry for eggs than for flesh. This is especially true for those near large cities, where buyers are willing to pay j roundly for really fresh eggs. The ! prices for such eggs are from ten to thirty per cent, higher than the regu , nir marKet rates; ana wnere tne proiducercan meet the consumer, deliver | the eggs and collect the cash himself, j without any expense for transportaI tion, commission, etc., the profits are correspondingly large, and the risks of ; loss reduced to the minimum. There | are multitudes who have large plots of i ground not far from town, who could | materially increase their incomes by | keeping fair-sized flocks of good laying i hens, and without requiring mucli j time from their regular business. It j is not good policy, however, either j to keep too many birds on a single place or to attempt to make a living entirely from poultry, without having considerable experience in breeding profitably for market, and even then it is not wise to give up a comfortable | salary to go into breeding poultry ex| tensivelv. The best way is to " make haste slowly." The flocks can be increased with experience, until it is proved beyond a doubt that enough can be made from the poultry to warrant an entire dependence upon them i for a living. This is the true way, not j only- with poultry, but in any calling, ! where work must take the place of I cash, in part at least. The profits in poultry depend mainly | upon the buildings in which the fowls I spend much of their time. The high j prices eggs command during the win ter months, and in fact all through j the cold weather of late fall | and early spring, make it an j object to get as many eggs as possible j during those times by care and ! good feeding. Good hens wili lay just I as well at such times, if the necessary i food and warmth is insured. Elaborate and expensive houses for poultry are not necessary. All desirable and practical purposes are served by making them of common, rough inch pine boards. These can be jointed on the edges so as to fit up tightly, with strips nuiled on the joints, outside. "Upon the entire inside surface put the common roofing felt, which will make a wind and rain-proof finish, and will go far toward insuring freedom from lice, mites and other insect enemies; the t:<r in the felting is decidedly unple;is ant to the parasites. If there is some near-by building, such as a barn, grana rv or shed, tiio poultry house can Oe built against it as a back, and thus serve a material saving in lu.nber and work. The roof can be treated, outside and _^4^?tlxr sam^_ covering, which .Si-proof. The floor can earth, raised a few inches ..o outside soil, so as to insure .uom from dampness and save the expense of floor lumber. A ground floor lias another decided advantage over boards, in that it is mo~e healthful and doft not engender ailments of the feet, which are often caused by running constantly on ha;:d floors. For ordinary houses, six to eight feet high in front, four to six feet at the back, and eight to ten iieet vide, and as long as is necessary, will be found the most suitable, and this will generally cut the boards to the bestadvantn<tp. When short nieces of boards O------- A are left over, they can be used for making the nesting boxes, coops, etc., and nothing need be "wasted. For very cold localities, or extreme weather, arrange for having a small coal stove in the house. A half a ton of coal will last an entire season, as it is necessary to have but little fire at any time, merely enough to prevent frost. A wood lire is dangerous, irregular, and requires too much attention. Itecioe*.

This modeof writing is quite pro; fusely given in the Egyptian hieroglyphi ics, winch the priests employed in a-symj bolical and allegorical manner. The eye, for instance, became a symbol of j Providence, the bird an emblem of ] swiftness, the scaling ladder a reprej sentative of a siege. Champollion j claims that the .hieroglyphics are divisi j ble into three distinct classes?the symj bolic, the phonetic and the figurative j signs. It is unknown when picture j writing was invented. Some writers j affirm that letters came into use when the abbreviations of pictorial signs became necessar}*as the system extended. For example, two hands and a bow took the place of an archer; an eye and scepter signified a monarch. In time even these curtailed signs were found to be inadequate to the wants of the people in giving signs j to thoughts. Figures were employed j iu represent/ auu 11,0 ocj/aian, organic elements. It is unknown when alphabetic or letter-writing was first discovered. It is supposed that Moses was acquainted with the art of writing, which proves that its existence was known at a very early period. The Greeks and Romans asserted that the Phoenicians were the inventors of letters. Some attribute the invention of letters to Moses; others believe that Abraham knew the art of writing, and we are also told by some learned historians that Abel knew the use of letters. The Jewish rabbis say, "God created letters on the evening of the first Sabbath." A very singular invention of a syllabic alphabet is related of a Cherokee Indian,"who was^urnorant of the English tongue and could not read a word in any language. This poor savage succeeded in producing in 1S24 an alphabet so complete tliat he was able to write a letter. The Cherokees were delighted; the youth of the band traveled a great distance to learn the art of writing and reading, which, from the peculiarity of the alphabet and language, they could acquire in three days sufficient to practice themselves and teach other. Types for printing in this character have been cast". The appearance of the language thus printed is singularly uncouth and barbarous. The invention of marks for punctuation is ascribed to Aristophanes, the famous Greek grammarian. Abbreviations of words were not made in ancient writing except upon coins and inscriptions. There are extant some remains of an ancient system of writing, in which all the characters are formed by different combinations of one simple element. No satisfactory method of interpretation has ever been given of these writings. Of all books'now in existence, the writings of Moses and the book of Job are considered the most ancient. The Mexicans used the pictorial method of writing. It is related that " they apprised their king, Montezuma, of the landing of the Spaniards by means of a linen cloth, 011 which this event was represented by pictures of visible objects." The manner of reading the Mexican picture-writing is different from, all others. It is in columns, beginning at the bottom ' Tnn.1n.1vo Olid ('lit?

The German* tirst wrote in the Latin characters; their alphabet was not in general use until the thirteenth century. The "monastic" al1 phabet was used in Germany as early as ; the eleventh centmy. About the time of the Roman conquest writing was lirst practiced in Britain. The several forms of French writings derive their?, names from the different races of kings who have ruled thai country.

The first private library is supposed to be the one founded by P. Emilius, 1G7 13. C. The lirst public libraiy was founded by Asinius Pallio, in the" hall of the Temple of Liberty on Mount Aventiue.

"With a train of five mules and two companions, one of whom was partailly familiar with the country, I climbed the summit of Cerro Gordo. At last we stood upon the lofty ridge of the Telescopes, and beheld below us the fateful valley, which lies 280 feet below the level of the sea and extends for a hundred mi lev, northeast and southwest, with a width of from thirty x - X*. ?a? ? -1 4-s\ itfAof T7i*\/vn IU J UI LJ JXLUCS iiUIU v;a.->L LVJ >T VOL. no landscape can one look so deeply into the interior of the earth, for it occupies the lowest point of dry land npon the continent, and, so far as I am informed, of the earth itself. 13ej lore us it, lies, a, long, deep, j wide, vast basin, its shining j patches disclosing through the distance, its beds of soda, salt and j borax, which cover thousands of acres i and,blaze and shimmer and burn in the steady blaze of light and heat which pours upon them from a cloudless sky. The valley's deep declension grows ! upon the senses and becomes more j marked as the eye is held steadily upon it, and it is emphasized by the swift declivity of the inclosing mountains. Drear and desolate, it stretches its full length along in a frame of painted mountains which define, in strong and ; mighty lines, its aspects of terror, j Though leaving the summit at 3 i p. 31. a:,id riding sieiuuiy down uesctmu- i ing trails, night settle;! upon ns before I we escaped from the canyon and reached the borders of the valley. By the brilliant moonlight we were enabled to trace the trail along the rocky washes as we rode on into the night. At last, worn and weary with hours of riding, we readied the center of the valley, known as the ** IJig llole," the point of greatest depression. Though time and exploration have drawn from out the ancient story i most of its fearful threads, this is still j Death's Valley and is still and will | remain a region of dread.

Indian 3Iarriage Laivs. A paper on this subject, read by tho | Rev. J. Owen Dorsey before the Arm ri- j t'illi ilSSUCiilHUil, HUUL'l'a nuiuc i<mumable customs in relation to marriage and kinship jus prevailing among the Dhegitha Indians, particularly the Oma- i lias :md Foveas. "When a tribe is hunting it camps, by gentes or nations, in a circle, each gons bearing tin* name of some animal All the members of one gens are relatives, and marriage between members of one gens is absolutely forbidden. ! Membership in a gens is by descent in ! the male line, not in the female. The j relations of a man are denoted bv colors; for example?black, grand- j father or grandmother; blue, father or J mother. Ilis connections are denoted j l)y mixed colors, such as a pink head ! and skirt, with light-blue triangle on | the body, for sister-in-law. A man ; can marry his brother's widow, and her children call him father even before their father's death. Ilis sister's children are only nephews and nieces. His mother's sister is always called mother for the same reason, and even his paternal grandfather's brother's i son is his father. These, and many j other distinctions, show that the terms ! of relationship are far more numerous and complicated with the Omahasthan with us. A man may marry any wo- : man belonging to another gens, ! whether connected with him or not: ! though marriage into his mother's geds is also forbidden. A man cannot marry any woman to whom he is related by the ceremony of the calumet-dance. Sometimes a man may ! take the children of his deceased i brother without the mother herself. | Sometimes the dying husband, know- ; ing that his male kindred are bad, tells i Ills wife to marry out of his gens. If I a widower remains single for two, three or four years, he must remain so forever. Widows, however, must wait for four years before remarrying. The same system prevails among the Iowas, Otos and Missouris.?Popular Science monthly. Odd Wedding Rin^s. "There is no jewelry about which j women always show so much interest j as the betrothal and wedding rings," j replied a jeweler to a reporter's ques- \ tion. "The lirst lias altered notice- j in shape and setting. A pure ; white diamond, the only suitable gem, \ is undvr-set in short claws s<> that the j stone l.iiles the setting completely. ; Polished gold is preferred to Roman j gold. The shank is oval and tapers i i'rom the gem. There is neither en- | am el nor engraving on its surface, and i inscriptions are cut inside ;is the pur- ' chaser may order. It is but an old fashion revived and one which will be liked. In the last thirty years wedding rings have changed twice in styles, from the narrow, double circlet to the polished oval, and lastly the plain, wide, flat band, which is now also preferable in polished gold. A fourth j style, and one eminently in harmony | with the present temper of romantic | sentiment, might well revive the orna- j ment which decoraf-d a ring discov- i ercd long ago in Egyptian ruins. It j represented two cius siumg u?u-k u> | 1 nick and between them the goddess of ; love, who smiles sweetly on vacancy, j while they glare around at each other ! in genuine Kilkenny fashion." " Would you make it to order?" " Certainly!" "I will bear that in wind. But meantime, can von tell me who invented the linger ring?" " It is older than history. The ancients account for its origin by ascrib- j ing to Jupiter a sharp practice, which j .would be no credit even to a Four ; Court shyster. They say that, prompted by revenge, he had Prometheus chained to the frosty Caucasus, where a vulture banqueted the live-long day on the captive's liver. Jupiter eventually relented, and, to avoid breaking his oath, commanded his enemy when freed to wear perpetually on his linger an iron : ring, to which was fastened a small ; piece of Mt. Caucasus, so that in effect : he remained bound to the rock. I don't , take much stock in that story. The j ancients were some of them scaly fellows."?St. Louis Pod-Dispatch. Fashion Notes. Ottoman silks should have llat, not round, reps. Silks with full luster are restored to popular favor. Jersey webbing is much used for waists of dresses. Tucks for skirts and overskirts of dresses are revived. Plain felt is more popular than plush felt or furry beaver. The fisli-wife poke with its pointed brim grows In favor. The extravagance of dress this season is beyond all comparison. Velvets bid fair to be more used for bonnet trimmings than plush. Plain black silks are more fashion-! able than black satin or surah. Three different fabrics in the same dress is the limit allowed by fashion. Satin buttons of oblong form come on many handsome imported dresses. The plush felts and furry beavers Hi last season nave passeu out o; fashion Keel hats, red feathers, re?l gloves and red stockings are worn by the million. Telegraph blue is a little deeper than cadet blue, so called from resembling telegraph blanks in Paris. Velvet appliqued work is popular. The devices are various. A silk or metal braid adorns the edges. Arabesque borders of cloth are neatly cut out and appliqued on other fabrics of contrasting shades. Crocheted passementeries are brought out in rich patterns. Some of the designs show elaborate relief effects. Satin boides and jets are seen in oxpensive fringes, a showy style of garniture, requiring a handsome heading of beaded passementerie. Two things stout women should leave severely alone are the jersey and | the bustle. The former makes them j look like animated meal bags. As many Rhine stones as diamonds are worn nowadays, and possessors of the former say that it takes a clever } person to detect the difference, for a i good Rhine stone is as brilliant as a j true diamond. In the new silver jewelry, darkened j so as to resemble old silver, many hit- j morons conceits appear. Comic faces are on the bro:?eh. while others have Green way children, owls, monkeys, doves and fighting cocks. Dark myrtle, green ;ind royal blue redingotes of line ladies' cloth, with | shoulder capes and revercufTs of plush j or velvet a shade darker than the eluth, i are much worn over plain skirts of j silk or cashmere, trimmed around the j bottom with a chicoree niching. ingenious young xauies art- ; tlieir own 0:11)0?. 1 mill's or cutTs by j sewing together fani-y leathers fr?>m the* wings ami breasts of native birds and chickens' throats. They fasten these feathers to thin silk <>r muslin, line the luulT and cape with satin, and edge with a bordering of feathers arranged as a fringe. Blue velvet or cloth coats and casaquins are now and then seen trimmed with narrow gold braid, in line arabesque patterns. This bright and conspicuous trimming is very sparingly j used, and should only be employed ; when the coat accompanies a skirt of : a like color. There is a great improve ment in the manufacture of this kind [ of trimming, (rood qualities do not i tarnish, and are guaranteed to rrsist j the action of sal* water or a- salty at- j n.osohere. i Toilets of Cirens People. If circuses would but permit the public entrance behind the scenes they would double their half dollars. It is i a curious sight. The actors come from ; the ring, heated and tired with their last performance; the lady bareback rifler spnt?fl on a chest, in a loose wrapper; the clown's now sober face | a mixture of red and white powder i and perspiration; the actors who go | on next call putting on the last touches I of their toilet. Circus actors take more pains with their toilets than most! people imagine. We watched one tall; young man in tights as he dressed his j hair before going out in the tumbling j act. He oiled it and patted it down. ! he oiled it and patted it up, he sliced i it back on the sides and carved it down in the middle, and he waxed his mustache into a most beautiful curl. It took him no less than ten minutes, and he stood, meanwhile, before an old, battered piece of looking-glass, supported on a stick, in the center of the dressing-tent. The Richmond (Va.)
