^'cravats" which some of the fashionable ,
girls are wearing. They are made of the rj

is not particularly ornamental, it indi- j.
cates that the beaver is the genuine arti-. ^

HOOP8KIRTS AXD OXE-BCTTON GLOVES.
Hoopskirts and oce-button gloves are
imminent, says a London writer. 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<

1= There has been a decided change in 11
the materials used for women's mourning
within the past few years. The 1

'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

THE UNOPENED LETTER.
There was a carriago waiting at the
loor, and the servant had just announced !
o Miss Hamilton that a gentleman bad j
ailed to see her. j 1
"I will be down in a moment," an- !
wered a cheery, blue-eyed girl, as she 1
lipped an unopened letter into her j
ockct. She had recognized the hrmd- j
rriting as the postman handed it to her. I
'he letter was from a young college ^
enior in the quiet New England town, j
t home for his vacation?Arthur Ells- !
rorth, a manly fellow, whom she had 1
nown and admired from childhood,
ind now Arthur's brother, Elmer Ells- '
rorthj was waiting to take her for a!
rive. The latter was the handsomer of i
tie two, possibly, with his fine form and j
ark eves. lie also was in the last year ,
f college life. ),
Afrer pleasmt greetings the young j
eople started in the bright September ! j
lorniog for the proposed ride. Who j
lat has driven through Lexington and j 1
Foburn, past Mystic Pond, will ever I .
jrget the quiet country roads, the his- 1
)ric associations, the variety of wooded '
ills and pretty valleys? Now the two
:hool friends talked of the present with i
s joy, and the future with its hepes, of I
le books they had studied and the plans
ley had made. Now they gathered |
olden-rod, and listened to the song of
le birds in the bracing air. It was a
tting time to say what had long been in .
diner's heart, that, sometime, when his j (
rofession had been entered upon, she I
ould bo the woman whom he wished to
take his wife.
It was a hard matter for her to decide,
oth brothers had been dear to her, peraps
Arthur especially?and both were j
able and worthy. Elmer had never j
>oien to her of marriage; and now (
Imer had told her of his love, and that (
ic could make him happy. Had Arthur
>oken first, perhaps, he*'- heart would (
ivc more warmly responded; but in the (
jauty of that autumn moning, with
le hopeful, earnest young man by her j
de, she gave her promise to be his
ife. * j j
As soon as she reached her home, she (
in up stairs, hastily threw cflE her wraps, |
id reDiCmbered the letter in her pocket,

Alas I that she had not opened the lett
sooner. Sbe could not tell Arthur j
tat she had preferred him to Elmer; (

Onyx in Missouri.
When water containing lime in solution
drips into a cave upon the ores of
metals it forms with them a chemical
combination and produces the exquisite
j translucent substance we call Mexican
j onyx. If the metalic oxide or ore is
I gold then rich purple veins and splotches
; appear through the oynx; if silver, then
the coloring is vellow; if copper, green; ?
if iron, red. Zinz aud arsenic produce
white.

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.?

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

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.

Then the most beautiful decorative ma- *
terial known to man cropped out in
America, but in Mexico, as if scorning a
Yankee republic. For some years Mexico
has supplied the world, the splendid
shining blocks of precious value being
cut from the quarries by hand by Indians.
Machinery has not been applied to it tl
hitherto to any great extent, because the n
ubstauce is so fragile that any force a

news. Of course we do not want the T

number of Northern people have congrtga^d in
from year to year for the past six years on account
of the great benefit to be derived by
those suffering with throat and lung troubles, Bl
until quite a village hae bs?n built consisting C(
of bIi hotels and a number of boarding houses.
The placo has been named Southern Pines. 01
The surrounding foreet abounds in game of
all kinds, and during the first week in February
a programme hae been arranged for a pi
creat week of sport for the visitors tod excar- ?v
I slonists; low rodnd trip rates of fare from tna | ~
North having been arranged. From Boston
$20, New York $1190, Baltimore $9.90. There
will be a deer hunt, a fox ohaee, a quail hont,
a squirrel bant, a rabbit chain, a wild turkey tl
huat and a coon hunt. Also a Southern bar- r.
becue, a 'possum supper and an old time plan*
tation dance by colored men aud women who &i
will Introduce some of thetr plantation songs.
The excursionists can go by either Merchants
& Miners1 steamers from-Boeton. Old Domln- u
ion steamers from New Tork oa January 31, ?
or Bay Line steamers from Baltimore on Febroary
3. Those who attend will, no doubt, enjoy
tne sport, for it will be so much different i:
to any of the Northern sport tbat the oddity
of it, if nothing olae, will make It interesting. et

rticle headed "Jenka' Dream." Imagie
my surprise to find it ended up with
recommendation to use Dr. Pierce's
'leasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
great sufferer from sick headache, I
etermined to try them, and, to my great
>y, I found prompt relief, and by their
rotracted use, a complete immunity
om such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
ften cure sick headache in an hour,
'hey are gently laxative or actively
ithartic, according to size of dose,
.a a pleasant laxative, take one each
ight on retiring. For adults, four act
3 an active, yet painless, cathartic,
ause no griping or sickness. Best
iver Pill ever made. Smallest, Cheap5t,
Easiest to take. For Constipation,
adigestion and Bilious Attacks, they
ave no equal.

Babbit Wool.
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.
The Coldest In Years.
So the weather prophets se^m to predict
that this winter will be, and by our -experience
thus far can we doubt but that they
must know a thing or two aoout the matter?
Well,be this aa it may, all will concede that
a winter with clear, cold!, bracing atmosphere
is certainly more conducive to health than
those so mlid of the past few years.
Warm clothing is most essential; even that
sometimes fails to protect us from the friendly
embrace of "Jack Frost," wh>, no doubt,
will be very vigorou i in his endeavors to let
us know that he has come to stay awhile.
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.
You can just try it for yourselves and
find out, too, that what 1 tell ) ou is the tru h,
and nothing but the truth; something well to
remember!
