r? I WOMAN'S WORLD. S PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR g FEMIXINE READERS. I FASHIONS FOR LITTLE "WOMEN. 3 At last there is a fashion -which favors ffl Jittle women, viz., that of making skirts B of gingham made up with the selvage at nj the belt and at the foot of the skirt in? stead of being cut into breadths. The sloping and adjustment of ttus kind ot skirt is a wearisome piece of work, and it is no small task to carry it about when walking. The French model from which it is made has a lined waist with inserted whalebone and the ^iiole frock requires dry cleansing instead of honest washing. ?~New York Telegram. earrings revived in england. Earrings, long out of fashion?probably owing to the artistic folk, who almost hooted them out of feminine ears?are gradually making an appearance in the world again. The accounts of jewels worn by grandes dames at great gather- ; ings occasionally include them, and they are to be seen once more as wedding presents; a splendid pair was among the gifts to the Duchess of Fife the other day. ; The revival will be a relief to those who, i possessing valuable trinklets in this form, i have been driven to sew them on their dresses and pass them off as brooches? a ruse usually spoiled by the tell-tale wire j which invariably manages to obtrude ; itself.?London Telegraph. i princess louise's wedding cake I. The magnificent wedding cake made ; for the Princess Louise of Wales was J (placed on view in Berkley square, London. It is six feet high, twenty-six inches in diameter and weighs 150 pounds. Round the base, on alternate white satin medal lions, are the initials of the bride and bridegroom, embroidered in gold and ] white, and surmounted by the coronets of each. From a vase on the head of the j classio figure which surmounts the whole long trails of white lilac and rosebuds fall . to the base, which is decorated with clusters of heather, white roses and orange . blossom. Round the top of the lowest tier is a border of acorn cups and leaves, which appear in the Fife coat of arms.? Pall Mall Gazette. 1 a girl's toilet articles. A sensible girl will not keep a lot of ! cosmetics and drugs on her toilet-table, ; but there are a few articles she should always have in a convenient place. She , should always have an array of glass- 1 stopped bottles containing alcohol, alum, camphor, borax, ammonia, and glycerine , or vaseline. A little camphor and water may be used as a wash for the mouth and throat if the breath is not sweet. Powdered alum applied to a fever 6ore will J - prevent it from becoming very unsightly and noticeable. Insect stings or eruptions on the skin are removed by alcohol. A few grains of alum in tepid water will relieve people whose hands perspire very freely, rendering them un- ; ' pleasantly moist. A few drops of sul4-V>A ttrofov ?PO QICA lwnofi.

A good glycerine or honey soap . is always preferable. Of course, one may f rely on scented soap from a high-class manufacturer, but it costs more than it is ' worth. In addition to the soap for bathing, white castile soap should be kept for washing the hair. Occasionally a little borax or ammonia may be used for this purpose, but it is usually too harsh in its effects.?The Family Doctor. ?v __ # \ A PRETTY ACT OP KINDNESS. "I saw a little act of kindness the i other day," said a Rochester (JN. Y.) court official, "that struck me as very pretty and womanly. I suppose you've noticed that there are quite a number of gypsies about th<j streets lately. Well, , on this afternoon one of the women was in rather of a fix out on West Main street. She was carrying a bouncing young Roman, and the gay handkerchief she wore twisted about her head instead I of a bonnet was on the point of slipping off and falling on the dirty sidewalk. Having both arms full of baby she couldn't readjust her headdress herself, and her evident distress over what seemed a rather trifling matter seemed a fit subject for laughter to those who observed her at all. "Just then a very handsomely dressed lady along, and evidently took in the situation at a glance. She walked straight up to the gypsy woman, smiled an 'allow me!' reached across the not over clean baby, and with her daintily gloved hands tied the handkerchief under the woman's chin. Then she gave the repaired headdress a little twitch at the sides to set it straight, and with another smile and that final pat with the hollow of the hand on the knot with which all women put the finishing touch to a bow, went on her way. It don't sound like anything in telling, but it struck me as a bit of real womanly kindness, and judging from the look in the brown woman's eyes, it struck her so too."?Chicago Hei-ald. \ CHANGES IN HIDING HABITS. Riding habits are undergoing a great change, and one which fills the heart of the man dress-maker with dismay. Ladies are now finding out that jerseys are easier to ride in than the stiff 4'habit basnue" of late veare. and thev are I "31 ^ 9f t' tt adopting them, and riding skirts are no longer made so tight that the wearer has to button them all the way up. The skirts are now made a yard and a half long and only the front breadth is gored. The rest is plaited in at the sides and back. The skirts are two yards and a half around. The effect is thus far more graceful and pleasing to the eye. It is to be hoped, however, that ladies will not run into the other extreme and make the skirts so long as to be dangerous. The trousers will not be discarded. Riding hats, also, are to be changcd, and now, instead of high hats, or jockey or derby, a wide-brimmed and soft felt hat with long, sweeping plume will be worn. It not infrequently happens that the inside of a parasol receives more decorations than the cover. A green parasol is considered very chic if pale tinted and perfectly plain or the inside, while within every rib is edged with a full fall of white lace, one or two lengths crossing midway the pretty streamerhung pavilion. The same idea is carried out in handsome Directory parasol, with cover of heavy, white brocade adorned only by its very richness until one peeps into the inside and discovers ithe white ribbons and knotted bow? ^ -M.-' \ v. which are tacked over the ribs to conceal the framework.?New York Telegram. THE BUSTLE MUST GO. The Parisian dressmakers are determined on the complete annihilation of the bustle. The models shown by the leading artistes afford but slight bouffant effect for the abscnce of that long-worn tournure, and the simplest draperies are considered the most stylish. I was in one of the inner sanctuaries of fashion one day this week,and observed with some amusement the fitters removing from the dresses of the ladies, upon whom they were trying on new corsages, the small cushion that they were wearing in their summer dresses. One or two small steels are still being used to give a shapely ef- j feet to the back of the skirt, but nothing 1 more than this will be stylish. Many of j the summer styles that are now brighten- J ing the boulevards will be repeated in I darker colors and heavier fabrics for the ! winter. The bodice now so largely af- j fectedis pointed just an inch or so below j the waist line, and to this is gathered a I full, round skirt. The old-fashioned I bordering of narrow velvets laid on in I odd designs or in plain, straight rows frequently trims these round skirts,which ! are youthful and exceedingly pretty. Of course, they are mounted on petticoats of silk or satinnette, and when worn with girdles of velvet ribbon or with loosely tied sashes of broad crepe de chene or , surah the effect is much more youthful, j It is a style much in favor for traveling dresses, except that the pointed corsage is replaced by the jacket, with either a real or simulated vest. Extreme simplicity is what is aimed at in these models, and much trimmed or furbelowed street gowns are entirely passe.? Chicago News. FASHION NOTES. The zouave jacket is again a feature in ladies' fashions. As many as 100 roses are sometimes massed together for a bridal bouquet. The color known as officers' red is fashionable even at this time of year. Several exquisite shades of pale yellow now rival the green tints in popular favor. The craze for moonstones has a tendency to make them more and more costly. Ginghams, if .jauntily made, are considered in good taste for luncheon ? parties. Fashion favors both high and low shoes of fine Suede kid, with vamps of patent i leather. Women do not wear a profusion of ' Hno 1C TlATXT PAnciflArA^ . sufficient. Small fruits of every description appear among the hat and bonnet garnitures for the coming season. White violets and lilies of the valley have been the favorite flowers for bridal bouquets during the season. The effective union of red and black appears in many of the dress toilets prepared for the autumn season. Soft, thin flannel is the most serviceable and appropriate material for outing skirts for both men and women. Primrose yellow and a pinkish violet tint are combined effectively in dancing costumes of crepe de chine or crepe de lissc. _ | Black and white are still combined in every sorf of costume, from the simple muslin or veiling to the elaborate full dress toilet. There are pelerines made of shot velvets, which are richly decorated with Persian arabesques or gold passementeries and fringes. | Each and everv article of under" linen in the trousseau of the Princess Louise of Wales was embroidered with a cornet and the letter L. Easy gowns, Princesse dresses and charming breakfast gowns are made of the domestic challis, finished simply with collars and cuffs of silk or velvet. | Moliere shoes, to wear with tea gowns, are made of b*ack satin, with vamps of French kid, and have Spanish arched insteps, with large buckles of silver set with French brilliants. I Venetian laces in coffee color and pale terra cotta are used to trim delicate tinted gowns of faille, peau de soie and China / silk. The more elaborate patterns have the designs outlined with gold threads. There are also deep red cloth housedresses, striped with black velvet and trimmed on the bodice with lace and black velvet ribbon; and military-looking pelerines of red wool with black velvet collars and ribbon ends. Young English ladle9 favor the "nun's cap," a bonnet which can only be viewed from the back, as nothing can be seen from the front but a sort of halo of fluffy hair, and some wide, flat Alsatian bows, inclining: downward and forming a sort of bandeau. Flower toilets are fashionable abroad. One just imported represented a poppy, the top of the skirt and the entire front being covered with very large poppy petals, made of plaited, crinkled silk the exact hue of the flower. The full gathered back is of poppy red tulle. Big Birds in the Transvaal. Most of the larger birds that I have seen in the Transvaal, Africa, are evidently of great bodily powers, which theii ample wings sufficiently indicate. These are half vulturinc in form as well as jn habit. My companion and I wounded a bird of this description one day with the gun (with which he had fullliberty here). I don't know its name, but here is a de- , scription: Body and neck pure white, ! wings black, flat bill 7 1-2 inches long, legs 21 inches and 5 1-2 feet from tip to tip of the wings. We brought him home and had him going about the green for days. One day we discovered him "bolting" a snake about two feet long (by description the African cerastes, a rathei evilly disposed species, one of the cobras) and three days afterward we found him dead. Next in size to this bird is the Kaffir j mnc. whif-h is dark-blue in Dlurnase. i " A w I This is much of the build of the former bird with this exception?its bill is more Df a beak, short and strong. Next comes the vulture, truly of the fowl-feeding race, for he is not long in picking the bones of any oxen that die. It used to be a fine of twenty pounds for shooting this bird in the Free States, they were considered so valuable in removing putrescent animal remains, and I believe their services are essential yet. "We have half a dozen different kinds of hawks, some j resembling our English birds of prey in size and habits, but of much f ner plum-1 ace.?-Heictattlc Chronicle. ... -- ''Pf-#'.; rl-.iiA-.-t.. jJJ AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. THE USE OP THE HORSE'S MAKE. The mane of the horse is not only ornamental but useful as a weapon to protect the animal against the attacks of several species of blood-sucking flies, which are exceedingly annoying and alight mostly on the neck and ears of horses. By shaking the head violently the mane acts as a whip to dislodge the flies, and the horse thus relieves itself from its tormentors, which seem to choose a part of the body winch cannot be reached by the horse's mouth. The tail serves the same purpose for the hind quarters.?New York Times. BARE AND BARREN. A 9ultivator whose experience of tillage is full and acute, says that no other means of improving soil is equal to letting it rest in grass a year or two. This, he observes, "gives a renewed vigor and vitality that nothing else will impart." It seems paradoxical to say that the steadier land is kept in growing plants the richer it becomes, but it is certain that a field left bare during the autumn months may lose much through the leaking away of the soluble nitrogen formed during temperate summer weather, while a field seeded early to rye, or any grass that will continue growing till winter, will absorb and use, and to save, this all-essential provision. The bottom secret of profitable farming is to multiply the blades of grass.?New York Tribune. WATER THE C0W3. In hot weather do not be content to drive the cows to water once a day, but if possible let them have constant access to it. Where this is impracticable, come as near to it as you can and give them water at least three times a day. Often by a small outlay water can be piped from a spring into troughs in distant pastures, so that animals need not travel for it. When the water supply is near at band they will drink in moderate quantities as they need it, which is much better than to gorge themselves once or twice a day, as they will when extremely thirsty. A cow that does not have water regularly and in sufficient quantities in hot weather cannot be depended on to hold out in her milk, and when a decrease in the flow is once established from any cause it is not easy to regain it. Not only is it for the comfort of the cows to let them have all the water they will drink, but it is for our own profit that it should be not only abundant but pure and wholesome. Allowing cows to drink stagnant water is bad enough at any time and will always affect the milk and butter more or less, but in the heat of summer it should not be permitted on any account.?New York World. TTTILITT OP 6HEEP ON THE FARM. Some one is trying to dispel the pleasant faith people have long enjoyed in regard to sheep improving a pasture or farm. The statement that sheep must eat the same as other stock and that the substanoe which goes to make up the wool and carcass is lost to the soil is true and evident, but there are many points of dissimilarity between sheep and cattle in their feeding in and effect upon a pasture. With a small daily ration of grain sheep will thrive in a bushy pasture where there is very little that other stock would eat, and will kill out the weeds and bushes at the same time; and if they really do not enrich the soil on the whole, they will enrich the poorest part of it and will add to the value of the pasture by the value of the labor it would take to kill out the weeds and bushes and cover the surface with fine grasses. "Wc have seen a field which had been used as a pasture for colts and calves till about one-third of it was covered with goldenrod and blackberry vines changed to a fine grassy sward in thfce years by putting in a few more sheep than it would keep in good condition, and giving them extra food to make up the deficiency: And we know that there are thousands of acres of rough pasture in New England growing up to bushes, where the rocks are too thick to allow cutting the bushes or plowing the laud, that might be made into good dairy pastures in the same way. ?Mirror and, Farmer. IN-BREEDING AND INTER-BREEDING. These terms have often been used by writers on breeding domestic animals, as synonymous, but they arc really of quite a different signification. In-breeding means the mating of animals which are more or less closely related; while interbreeding is the mating of cross-bred animals, that have no relationship with each ouier. For example, suppose a Shorthorn and Hereioru are bred together, the offspring possess half the blood of each. Next, suppose the same ol a Sussex and Devon, then the offspring of. these two crosses together. This would be interbreeding, their parents having no consanguinity of blood between them. It is a safe course to persue, and for the attainment of special ends may at times prove quite an advantage to the cattle-breeder.. In-breeding, or breeding in-and-in, as it is more generally termed, is dangerous unless to a person of great experience, and who is a perfect judge of the perfections and imperfections of animals; then it may be advantageous. It is frequently followed by the unskillful with a loss of Bize, thrift and constitution; and, finally, by barrenness. Fatal diseases arc also to be dreaded, for suppose the parrot is touched with a disease: in consequence then of its consanguinity -with the other, this will be likely to be intensified in the offspring; and if both parents have the same disease, it will probably be doubled or quadrupled in virulence.? American Agriculturist. TAKE CAHE OP THE PIGS. It is wisdom on the part of a nation if if. nlicPTTR fh<? mn\-im. "In time of neace. prepare for war." Applying this maxim to the farmer, regarding his pigs, it will be wise if he look to it that his swine have shelter during the summer. And especially is this important when fall weather sets in. Hogs are seriously damaged by spending their nights in a wet nest, even though this be in summer, for the nights get cool, and more or less of a chill sets in. Even in summer, swine rise from a wet nest coughing. It will be observed that pigs are never seen carrying wet straw to their nests. They know better than to do this. Yet, they will sleep in the wet if you deprive them of the opportunity to do better; not otherwise. The hog, dull as he is supposed to be, is considerate of his own health and comfort, more ' k " /: k ' ' V L .:V. : -V, so by far than many swine-owners show themselves to be. The hog's stomach is ! small, and it is not wise to confine him to grass alone, if we desire that a good gain be made; and without such gain, it is better by far that no hogs be allowed upon the premises, as no sort of farm stock will pay for the rearing and fattening if kept otherwise than in a marketable or very near a marketable condition J from the start. If hogs are kept at grass, and this is the proper place for them, cheap shelter should be provided, not in one place alone, for but few, notto exceed half a dozen, should nest together. All , that is required of a summer shelter for i swine is that it turn water, and that so , completely that the nest is kept dry. This division of the herd insures that the droppings be not all deposited in one place. It also enables those that incline to "go together," to have this privilege, unmolested by the fractious members, and there are such in all herds.?Prairie Farmer. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Stir the earth between rows of corn and you will see growth stimulated amazingly. One of the greatest drawbacks in dairy work is the difficulty in obtaining honest, faithful help. Crude petroleum is a better preservative of wood than linseed oil, and costs only one-fifth as much. Celery is not only very healthful for man, but for beast also. So don't waste the leaves and root trimmings. Let your horse stand loose, if possible, without being tied up in the manger. Pain and weariness from a confined position induces bad habits. The only pure, native Irish cow is the Kerry. A small, handsome cow, yielding a large quantity of nice milk, even under adverse circumstances. It is said that the life of rose plants greatly varies. Some of the hardiest kind will bloom for thirty years, while others die off after several seasons. The black aphis, or black fly, is often quite troublesome to chryansthemums, but can be conquered by persistent application of Dalmatian powder with the bellows. Half of the wear to tools, on some farms, comes from unnecessary exposure to sun, and wind, and rain. A convenient shelter is far cheaper, and looks less shiftless. Almost anybody can milk a cow, but there are few who can do it properly. It is an art, and the man who can practice it is worth more to the dairyman than any other help. If you notice a young bird in any brood that is especially nice, do not kill it; keep it a while longer to see what kind of a fowl it will make. The very best ts none to good to keep for breeding. Frozen milk, it is said, may be kept in a frrsh state indefinitely, and many steamers are now provided with stfcam refrigerators in which milk and other foods are preserved for any desired length of time. A poor, old mowing machine had better be sold as old iron rather than to worry along with loss of time trying to get good work out of it?throw it aside and get one capable of doing a full day's work. Scarcely any two cows are exactly alike in disposition and in the character and nature of their teats and udder, and the good milker will study to know his cow in order that he may know how to treat; her. "No matter how full the hay crop all should be saved, for there is reason to believe that quality will be below the average, and that in consequence more will be required to carry animals through the winter. A farmer who can lie off a day or two in good hay weather because his stomach is not exactly right has not the courage his business requires and is likely to find his stomach a costly excuse when results are counted. A weak solution of carbolic acid and water, says an exchange, applied to cows with a brush will protect them from the attacks of flies. It is the odor which repels, and a little carbolic acid for odor goes a great way. What a good thing it wouid be if every highway in every farming district were covered a foot or more with stones, broken at the top enough to allow heavy laden wagons to pass and finish the crushing to a smooth surface! When a cow becomes troublesome, tries to kick over the pail, won't give down her milk, and so on, there is a cause for it, and the cause will very often be found outside the cow?she has not been properly treated and she resents it. The Country Gentleman says the practice of "hilling" potatoes during cultivation and growth is almost universal, and in most instances is positively detrimental to productiveness, yet it is nearly impossible to convince the farmers of this fact. M.mv a farmer will wonder when he digs his potatoes why his crop is not larger, and will attribute the loss to continued rains in the season of early growth, whereas it will be entirely his own?lack of cultivation in the odd spells when the ground was dry enough. Popularity of Pigeon Flying. Pigeon flying is growing to be an absorbing amusement in England, particularly among the Birmingham laborers. The spread of the sport has developed quite a new branch of railway traffic. It is the practice of flyers to send their birds in baskets, addressed to the station master at a particular station, with the request that he release them, mark on a label the time that they were released, and return the basket. This request is regularly granted. The officials rather like the work. In cloudy weather porters have been known to feed birds for three days before setting them free.?New Tori Sun. How He Got the Taxes. A man named Fryc, who lived on Tinker's Island, used to be the town collector of Mount Desert. If he didn't get his money the first time he called, he had an original way of helping the delinquent to rcmemDer tnax ne womu coxae again. Taking apiece of chalk from his pockct, he would write the word "Tax" on the woodwork of the room in large letters, and the authority of the official is said to have been acknowledged so well that the chalk was allowed to remain theie till time or the payment of the tax had rubbed it off.?Lewitton (Mc.) Journal. There are in the entire United Kingdom only 380 banks with aggregate deposit* of $4,500,000,000. The Greatest Doable Bass Artist Antonio Bottesini, the greatest artist that ever played the double bass, has just died in Parma, Italy. He was 66 years old, having been born in December, 1823. Between the acts of the opera he occasionally performed solos upon the double bass, which excited the greatest enthusiasm. All that Paganini had ever done upon the violin was repeated by Bottesini upon his gigantic instrument. Every effort of brilliancy, of delicacy and of pathos wa3 at his command, and after two or three evenings he was recognized as one of the greatest geniuses of modern musical art. This reputation was confirmed in London, where he immediately bccame a favorite, and when he appeared in Paris it was augmented. For a time he was the director of the orchestra at the Italian opera in Paris, and subsequently became the manager of the Italian opera in Cairo. He wrote several operas, which were performed successfully, though we believe none of them 3 11 ? ? ? ^ ? AAMufwr ever crossea me oceuu iu vws ^uuuuj.

Musical Courier. Northern Hemp Culture. The subject of hemp culture is drawing the serious attention of farmers in the Northern States. At present hemp is chiefly grown in Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee, or on the rich bottom lands. Recent occurrences in the jute bag trade have drawn attention to the culture of our native product. Hemp will make a cord for binding grain quite strong enough, and hempen bagging will cover cotton bales as well as that made from jute. The culture of hemp and its manufacture into bagging and twine will be a double gain; we shall have the material and have the money formerly sent abroad for these materials. A few years ago the Dutch farmers of Eastern Pennsylvania grew the flax, which was sgun and woven by their wives and daughters into grain bags, wagon covers and domestic sheeting; and there are few more thrifty people than these same farmers. One of these coarse linen bags was good for twenty-five years' service without repair, which is ten times that of the flimsy gunny cloth and cotton bags now in use. It is to be hoped that the culture of hemp, and its manufacture, may be largely increased.?New Tori Times. American Alabaster. Alabaster, or plaster of Paris, is made in large quantities at Grand Rapids, Mich., where there are extensive gypsum beds, from which stone the plaster is produced.
