BUILT A COTTAGE HERSELF. A plucky and independent girl is Miss Elizabeth More, of Edgeworth, Penn. With her own hands she recently built a neat little cottage, laying the foundations, plastering the walls of the different rooms and performing all the carpenter work to a builder's taste. To do this she found it necessary to don male attire, and a youug girl friend helped [ her over the hardest part of the work, r Miss More is said to be as pretty as Ehe is energetic. She was once a protege of Jane Gray Swisshelm, and the lessons r&at stern champion of woman's rights taught her have apparently not been forMUkiiAM P/>C t v/uvwyv A VOW. THE NEW NET DRESSES. "Have you seea the new net dresses? _J don't like them, they are too communicative." "Why, for pity's sake, what do you mean?" 'Just what I say, they are too communicative. You buy one, and see what a fix you will be in. I have one, and every time I put it on I wish I never had been born. Everything sticks to it. If you sit on the beach when you get up you are covered with shells, minnows, dirt. If you chat confidentially with a young man and get interested and sit a little near him, the wool from his suit clings to the netting, and every one of your friends knows right away with whom you have been spending your time, j Oh, they are horrid things!

Mew York Recorder. THIS LATEST BASO. The latest hair bang is called the Bernhardt bang, according to the Pittsburg IHtpatch, and was originated by a countrywoman Of the celebrated French actress. Its effect is entirely novel. All the heaviness that false hair usually brings to the face is banished by tbe Bernhardt, which has a light part in the middle of the brow, where a light fluff falls nearly to the eyes oo each side and forms a softly curled wave of hair, but waved witft tne oia pervaaing air 01 lightness. By the way, this face artist declares that Bernhardt is the greatest judge of powder of any women in the world. She would test the quality of the powder by taking a pinch of the cosmetic between her fingers, crushing it to find out its quality pinch by pinch. And while on the subject of powders it is just as well to state that powder puffs are now being made of enormous size,as large as the top of an ordinary sugar basin, the handle being modeled after the bust of some celebrated person. Sometimes the handle unscrews and contains in its hidden 6pacc either a supply of powder or eyebrow pencils and other accessories for the beauty's toilet. These puffs are most convenient, especially for travel and for summer sojourning, where the aids of beauty must not b e neglected. A CE1TENT DECORATION F03 GOWKS. The latest novelty for women's gowns is plastic cement, which is to be used for ornamentation. The cement is put on the gowns with a stencil, in any pattern desired. Emhroirlerv can be counter feited so cleverly that the cement will be mistaken for the genuine article. It is possible by this proces?, which is, by the way, the invention of an American, to reproduce tapestries, passementerie and, in fact, any decoration desired in any one or a dozen lines. The cement is put on in very thin layera, and after it has dried and become woven into the fabrie cannot be told from hand-woven ornamentation. For light textile fabrics, gauzes and netting the cement is of great value, and some of the specimens of the work shown us are marvelously attractive. The new process has a great deal to recommend it to women as an ornament of dress and for household decoratiof. It does not injure the material upon which it is used; it can be removed or changed at will, and it is cheap. Its use will enable a woman to change the pattern of a dress a3 many times as she likes, and at very small cost. A dress ornamented with real orna mentation would cost several hundred dollars, whereas the cost of a gown done in plastic cement will not exceed $50. Prom $10 to $50 will be the tariff for the work when it becomes better known. Competent operators are now engaged j in experimenting with the cement and j cutting the stencile, which will make it j possible to reproduce the most difficult of embroideries and tapestries.?St. ! Louis Olole-Democrat. STRAY LOCKS. Perhaps nothing so much adds to or detracts from a woman's personal apHpearance as the style in which her hair Kg dressed. The hairdressers of the day eero to appreciate the fact, and are deHvoting their best talents to the invention Hof new and picturesque styies. One Greek coiffure recently worn by a LonHdon hostess is a specimen. The "ingenu" land the coiffure gracieuse are also good Samples. It has been said that to be Bsrell dressed there are two absolutely essential points, to be bien gante et bien chausse; but there is no doubt that if a woman wants to look her best it is even more necessary that she should be bien coille. Every one must have no- ! ticed how different a face will look according to the style in which it certainly becomes less plain. One of the new head-dresses designed for evening wear would, for instance, brighten tip almost any young face. On the other hand, some striking styles,like the "gracieuse," can only be worn by matured women of pronounced and striking beauty. Fluffy hair, which was the envy ot every girl that did not possess it, has given place to glossy, well kept locks, which, however, are curled and ironed into the crinkley waves which are very fashionable just at present. The great fluffy bangs covering the forehead and ears, and reminding one of a Shetland pony, are to-day scorned. The smartest way of arranging the hair is the way in which a fashionable Paris headdresser recently did it. Dividing the hair on either side he pinned it upon the top firmly with a little pin. He then braided it in one long braid and doubled it underneath, pulling it through a strand of the braid at the nape of the neck. In this way the braid does not sag down or look ungraceful, but fits to the shape of the head, following its curve up to the crown, when it is combed apart, divided and the ends made into a smooth, beautiful bow-knot. The bang he cut into different lengths and curled it in five distinct curls, three on the top, curling them crosswise. Next taking all the remaining bang, save a very little on the forehead, and curling it toward the back of the head, he finished it by curling the remainder over the forehead. He then waited until it was all entirely cool,when he pulled the curls all apart, touching none but the very light bang on the forehead with the comb, in thi3 way keeping them in little curls setting close to the head.??>L.

Gloves of cream colored euede are worn with bridesmaids' pink toilettes. Dressy jackets of cream cording have facings of cream silk and pearl buttons. A collar of diamonds is in the shape of a wreath of rose leaves with coral buds. Satin bodices are worn in preference to velvet ones, with tulle or silk mouseeline skirts. Boas of wool goods, cut on the bias in four-inch strips, fringed and plaited, are expensive and pretty. The long skirts are bringing draped overskirts into vogue. These are looped with bows of contrasting ribbons. A lovely bridal gift from the groom is blue for luck; an immense sapphire framed in diamonds as a pendant. Ribbon braces are now frequently worn, these being attached to the belt of some pretty or useful dress skirt. A new sort of gold metallic thread has been introduced. It may be used in the same way as ordinary thread or silk. Only the faultless figure, divinely tall, and yet more divinely slight, can wear the Elizabethan drapery, which is a new feature of the late styles. The Duchess glove in suede is shown in tans, drabs, browns, biscuit, gray and slate, and is to be had in the mousquetaire styles in all these tints. Oblong English hair-pin boxes come in two sizes. They are of silver, in corrugated forms. A silver oxidized hair-pin on the back designates their use. Hats are worn of soft coarse white straws pinned into shape with acorns or locust thorns and trimmed with roses without leaves. On the rose petals sometimes are snails. Buckles of Rhine 6tones are worn on felt hatsand on velvet toques, as are also brooches and long lace pins of the Parisian diamonds, which are so 6killful an imitation of the real stones. Flower jewelry is in 8pecial favor. The sweet peas and double violet take the lead. Ciover leaves come next in popularity. The diamond dewdrop is not a necessary adjunct, but an added beauty. The new straw plaiter#exercises a good deal of ingenuity, and one of the triumphs of his art is a dull red straw hat woven with an intermixture of white crinoline. Poppies and white ribbons are me trimmings. The hostess of a recent violet luncheon wore a skirt of violet faille, open in the front over puffings of violet chiffon, and a basque fitting tightly behind, with full sleeves of white mousseliue de sole, trimmed with lace. The evening bonnets are very charming and very Frenchy. One purchased in Paris by Sirs. Hicks-Lord has a wreath of pink roses with a standing bow in front of green velvet and an aigrette of black plumes. The narrow strings are of green velvet. The scoop poke bonnet for school girls is again in vogues Nothing is daintier to make more lovely, more modest or more distractedly enchanting their unsophisticated, untrammeled youthful blushes, babyish expressiveness and pouting features. The long girdles have been modified for shopping and every day wear into deep belts. They are narrow at the back, but with a deep point in front. Very stylish ones are of black leather, trimmed with silver, gold or steel. Heavily gorgeous and glittering are the cut silver one9, which gleam and sparkle as the wearer passes by. The Camphor Tree. The camphor tree is attracting general attention as one that can be grown for profit, or ornament acd shade. It i3 one of the mo3t beautiful of the shade trees, is very hardy, standing a temperature of twenty F., and it is a rapid grower, forming plants eighteen to twenty-six inches fro.n the seed the lirst season. It has done well ia Florida and California. At present the great advance in the cost of camphor i9 creatiug more interest in its production. The demand for it to use in the manufacture of smokeless explosives is one cause for the sharp increase in price. The tree grows to be fifty feet in height. It does well in a climate like that of Yuma and in a soil like that of the valley west of town. The Agricultural Department at Washington will have a large number of plants for distribution next spring. Why not plant the camphor in place of the pepper and other useless shade trees??

There was a ma difference in the behavior of the d: ent cows, some of them being scai affected, while with others the effect decided. With all the cows that fe either in yield or quality, there wa the next morning's milking an impi ment, this being more marked in th< cent, of fat than in the yield of mill! some cases this was sufficient to ent obscure the immediate effect.
