Br WOMAN'S WOULD. ^ PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR t FEMININE READERS. c FIFTY-DOLLAR CRAVATS. S F Decided oddities in fur9 are the beaver ? ^'cravats" which some of the fashionable , girls are wearing. They are made of the rj # ' actual pelts, with two or three tails added g and the head left on one of the pelts.

A titled ^ bride has started the new fashion of the f( marriage ring being inlaid with blue t( enamel, and the tide has turned from ^ using the plain circlet to employing the S( style of ring each bride may happen to ^ fancy and choose. This fad has its ad- t] vantages and disadvantages, for the wed- tl ding band can thus rarely be distin- g goished from the ornamental circlet, tj which may or may not be desirable ac- 5 cording to circumstances.?iVcw York ?

A B strong fight will bs made against the in- h, coming of the hoop, and as for the long- m wrifited mousquetaire or buttoned 8wed- sj i8h kid glove, it bids fair, spite of all E opposition, to retain its popularity st throughout this generation. The reflec- sj tioa that even the most subservient fol- hi lowers of 6tyle, in obedience to the b< changes and caprices of fashion,will ever tt again consent to the dire and extreme si limitations of a single-button glove, after w enjoying the comfort and luxury and grace ol a six or eight-button, would ra Beem quite impossible; yet over and over ai again has history repeated itself in this 0 very matter of short and long gloves, the long-wristed glove and the gauntlet hav- te ing been favored and then discarded by hi both kings and queens of centuries past. n< ?New Tori Po?t. as i sc PRIKCE8SE8 AS OLD MAIDS. j Numbers of foolish heads are wagging te over a perfectly ridiculous rumor to the tl effect that the Princesses Victoria and tt :Mand or Wales have stamped their little hi feet and made the startling announce- sa Jnent that they will never marry. Even bi If they ever said anything so silly?and pi |even princesses cannot be always wise? ia it is certainly a mistake to supposa that tli their mother would cncourage them in ui any such very whimsical notion. The la only possible and very insufficient M ground for the stupid report is that Princess Maud, in her pretty, petulant ,way, may have been heard to express the opinion that she would never marry unless she really cared for the intended. In that, we may be sure, the Princess of jWales?fondest and kindest of mothers ?would support her, but anything be- -w yond that may be dismissed as sheer nonsense.?Lady's Pictorial. ej U ?-. ??? j BEELTER FOR ARISTOCRATIC FEET.

' I h i a cha5qe in mourning materials. 0 1= There has been a decided change in 11 the materials used for women's mourning within the past few years. The 1 bombazines and English crepes have 'given place to softer, tenderer fabrics, f :just as is true in the weaves of colored materials that we now usj. j ^ Henrietta qloth will be selected for s street wear except on rough days, when a serge or camel's hair will be preferred. Crepe cloth and dull wool finish India ri silk will be worn at home. Crinky i crepe will make one's best gown, and t "plain net and Canton crepe for summer 1 jwear. English crepe is not worn nt all i except during tne first six months of mourning and by widows for two years. , ^ These are generalities to come down | to actual individual needs. A widow t jwho has the sad occasion to put on ( imouming should buy two street dresses; j 'one of serge, an absolutely plain tailor- J made dress; the other of Henrietta cloth, trimmed heavily with crepe in flat trim- ( |iningj or wide folds, bands or panels, j (Nothing is more inelegant than English j crepe cut up into little trimmings. The ! plain gown she should wear on every or- ; dinary occasion that takes her out, to ! drive, to shop, to market, to her committees or charitable boards, etc.; the k finer dress to church and to any friend's J : house that necessity calls her.

Cheek is often mistaken for courage. A man is not made rich by what he can't lose. No man can know any more truth thar he will live. Selfishness is only another name for the spirit of murder. Truth makes men gentle. Theorj makes them bigoted. If there wasn't any opposition, there wouldn't be any progress. Perhaps no greater wrong can be done to any man than to misjudge him. The meaner some men are, the more ingelic they want their wives to be. The biggest coward you can find any inhere is the man who is afraid to do right. The man who never gives away any ,hing, cheats himself out of a good deal )f satisfaction. There isn't much charitable work done n this world by people who do not beieve in another. It is hard for the man who has just laten a good dinner to realize that anybody else can be hungry. If experience teaches any thing, it teaches ;hat no man can live for himself, and lo himself anv irood by doinjr it. One of the easiest things for some aeople to do, is to persuade themselves hat it isn't their duty to do anything.? Indianapolis (Ind.) Rim's Horn. Catting the Diamond. The operation of cutting the diamond :ompiises three phases; splitting, shav- j ,ng and polishing. All crystals possess :he quality of easily cracking in certain lirections; in the diamond there are ;hree principal and very distinct j lirections, without counting several ! secondary ones, and cleavers or splitters :all these the "threads" of the stone, j A. good workman always knows where | :o find the thread, and this is how he Joes it: The diamond to be cleaved is ixed in a convenient position at the end >f a short stick by means of cement; ;hen to another baton, and by the same process, is fastened a sharp diamond, raking in his right hand the baton bearng the sharp point, and in his left the >ne that holds the diamond to be clearen, ie rests them at the middle on a box which is firmly screwed down to his able, thus turning a sort of lever. He :hen rubs the two against each other jntil the sharp stone has made a notch n the other stone. He uses three blades, >ne after the other. With the first he nakes a groove, which with the second mife is regularized, and with the third inished off in a specific manner. Then loldiog with his left hand the baton on vhicK is the stone to be split, and at the tame time a steel knife, the edge of ivhich is fixed in the "thread," he hits ;he knife a clean blow with a small iron jar, and the diamond is separated exactly it the point desired. This "cleavage," J is it is called, is not always necessary* j ttill, lapidaries have recourse to it when hev wish to take from the crystal its lefective particles, or to give it convenient shape for after operations.? Commercial Advertiser. The Sioux Blanket Courtship. The blanket is the Sioux great refuge vhen he is not actively engaged on the varpath or in the chase. Only for the iiffereuce of stature it would be difficult :o tell a young man from a squaw at cer,ain times. Both wear the blanket irawn over their heads, and to a casual )bserver, there is not much difference in he portion of costume that shows bele^tfc the "wrap." When a young brave and pretty squaw J Degin to court the blanket always hides ] ,heir blushes, such as they are. I have j 'requently seen a couple, with a blanket )ver their heads, practicing the tender irt in a manner that would have made Someo and Juliet envious. There is lothing whatever of the immodest about ;he proceeding, but, for lack of a gas-lit jarlor and a comfortable sofa, they are obliged to exhibit their tenderness in lublic with truly rural simplicity. After he blanket stage is passed the brave generally purchases his bride lor so many )onies, "paid" to her sires and they go >n with their housekeeping in a very practical manner. The squaws do nearly ill the heavy work, and the warriors do ;he heavy sitting around, except when :heir is fighting to be done or game to je killed. The women seem greatly at;ached to their lords and will bewail hem bitterly when they die or fall in jattle. Their cries and lamentations ire terrible to listen to, and often last j :or several days and nights.?Chicago Uerald. Ilow Horseflesh Tastes. Physically horseflesh may be distin:inguished from beef or mutton by its tppearauc. It is coarser in the grain :han beef. In this respcct it resembles J bull beef more than any other. It is iarker in color and looks more moist I than beef. It has a peculiar sweetness jf taste. Its flavor is generally considered to be half way between the flavor:! of beef and game; it is something like the flavor of hare. One reason why horseflesh is as a rule darker in color than beef is that horses which are pole-axed, or which have died from injury, disease or old age, are not properly bled and dressed by the slaughterer. It is, however, by its fat that horseflesh is most easily distinguished. The fat of horseflesh is not generally mixed with the lean. It is yellow in color. It looks more moist than the fat of beef. It soon melts and soon becomes rancid. Consequently, unless a rapid sale is effected or the fat removed, an advanced price must be charged in order to secure the butcher from loss of unsold meat. Lastly, horseflesh can be distinguished from beof by its chemical characteristics, and it is in this way that it may be recognized when mixed with other substances. Who can tell, except the chemist, what are the component parts of a sausage, polony or saveloy? Or who can tell by taste what those parts are? We do not judge by taste; 'we judge by flavor, and in the making of flavor?to use Sam Wcller's phrase?"It's the seasoning as does it."?Nineteenth Century. A Remarkable Jump.

To look at the rabbit as a wool-bearing animal and source of annual profit is a point of view that will certainly be novel to most people, but a student of the subject declares that the rabbit is valuable when tbtis regarded. He yields a wool, it is said, softer and finer than that of sbeep, and, besides its beauty, it is believed to have the valuable attribute of benefiting or curing rheumatism. Small as he is, his growth is vigorous, aad it is estimated that the amount of wool produced by a rabbit in a year, as he can be combed several times and the wool grows again, is worth about five lrancs, which is as much as the wool of a lamb would fetch.?London Standard.

Welcome him we mu t, but let not r'auld acquaintance be furgot" should he become too familiaf; checkmate him as I always have done. No frost-bites for me if you please; the moment i feel his icy breath upon fingers ur toes I nip his little scheme in the bud by bathing freely with some of thit grand old paia reliever cailed Dr. Tnbias's Venetian Liniment.
