A Bwntlfal Picture Done la Thread.
y.>'; There is now being exhibited in Chi/
<**8?a beautiful picture dono entirely
|?'with a needle. At tho distance of a few
feet it has the appearance of a mellow old
engraving or etching, but on close intofiC
spection shows itself to bo needlework.
The background is of white silk, grown
. somewhat yellow with age, and the material
employed in working is thread
Pb drawn from black silk crane. The draw
jBpi" >>' 1
, i?g of the picture is perfect and aside
from its value as a curiosity it is a marine
s!$ Tiqw of real merit. The present owner,
y ; an English gentlewoman, now living in
? Z Chicago, can furnish satisfactory proof of
its having been in her own family since
the year 1797. Before leaving England
she frequently refused offers of large
sums for it, not foreseeing the misfortunes
which now compel her to part with
it. '

l>Id it on Purpose.
A beautiful Philadelpliian had won a
"gros lot" in the matrimonial lottery, in
the shape of a husband of high birth and
jp position in the North of Europe, who
had been vanquished by the fair one's
? v charms while an attache to his embassy
in Washington. Having brought back
t his bride to Europe, they were present at
a breakfast given in their honor, at
which iiis majesty, the emperor of Austria,
appeared to salute the host. It is
easy to imagine the feelings of the guests,
aDove all oi tnc punctilious and courtly
bridegroom, "when, every one having respectfully
risen at the appearance of the
monarch, the bride was seen to remain
quietly seated at table, eyeing the royal
personage with consummate coolness.
On being remonstrated with the beautir.'.1
ful countess answered: "Oh, I did it on
purpose, to show that a free, independent
* American citizen thinks nothing of their
trumpery royalities!"?London Court

m ? Too
Much Sweeping.
The advisability of giving every apartment
a vigorous "broom cleaning" at
4VUOV VUVW u ii v^v? rv ii(IO UUUI1 DU Obi UI1UUUS1J
insisted upon by some notable housekeepers
thut it has by many been con- j
ver,ted into an imperative duty. But
looking at the matter in an unprejudiced
light, one cannot clcarly see why a draw- j
ing-room, inhabited perhaps only a few
hours of the afternoon and evening, or
an unoccupied guest chamber should require
the same amount of purification
demanded by a sewing, sitting or dining- !
room. The dust-pau and brush are laborsaving
machines that do not receive due
>- , v appreciation. By their aid in removing
a little dust here and a little there the
business of sweeping a whole room may
bo deferred at times, when at the first
glance anything less than a complete
w ' routing out of furniture and dirt together
would seem impossible.?Marion Uarland.
Hontekeepluii In Japan.
A lady writing from Japan says:
"Housekeeping here has no trials. The
ff worn and vexed spirits of the American
f chatelaines ought to rest in Japan after
death. Capable and faithful servants are
plenty and cheap. Our establishment
boasts five, and for these we pay about
what two would cost in New York. I
f. : "\ do not visit my kitchen once a month,
never give an order outside of a spoken
wish, yet the domestic machinery moves
:ii. ?J ? if 1
wii,u uu uusc ana penecuon unattainable
at home by almost any effort on the part
of the mistress. The manners of the
servants are amusing, not to say startling,
v to an American accustomed to the cheerful
familiarity of her native help. Every
night at bedtime our five retainers appear,
prostrate themselves in succession
to the earth, and retire. This is to wish
me good night and renew their testimony
of profound respect and pleasure over
the privilege of serving me. It was difficult
at first to preserve the necessary
r, dignity for the ceremony, but now I am
as majestically gracious as any other po
tentate. The other jday on one of my
rare visits to the kitchen, a hairpin bo^
came looscucd and dropped without my
notice. I had been seated in my own
room only a few moments when my
houseman entered, bearing a small salver, j
jfe- which he presented to me with many I
genuflections. Fancy my surprise to see
:> little hairpin upon it, and to learn from
my proud but embarrassed servitor that I
.it had fallen to the kitchen floor from my
W',' head. Afterward I found there had been
ft discussion as to who should pick it up,
and almost a quarrel A to whom belonged
the inestimable honor of bearincr it to it*

Woman's Bight* lit Ireland.
i\' Iceland wonaon havo already enjoyed
<he consideration held to be due to a
free perion." Traditionally the marTied
woman has been acknowledged to be
ihe principal authority within her house,
from whence, howevor, she had no right
to remove or part with anything without
?^ 3 the.husband's consent. She was in anif-.
pp^^pciens wmes ine rrce cmpenser or nor own
-personal property, in so far that her lius,
tfcaod could not lawfully touch it and
1||^:}l^0Khteti it to his o*wn use without her
|e>A' ;gjeaini88ion; nor could she without his
^consent part with any of it, for by law
IfcfeN ftfae husband was tha wife's guardian.
; practically, this relation between man
I - nod wife, m regard* their joint estate or
.
property, stands unchanged to this day.
A woman can institute a case in her own
behalf in the courts of law on her own
responsibility if she prefers not to consult
her guardian, but she cannot plead in
court. By a law Recently passed all
women who pay borough rates are entitled
to vote in all municipal matters
that fail under tho decision of the vote
of the community, and this was passed
simply as a piece of justice, without any
woman having raised her voice to demand
it. So far the women in Iceland
scarcely realize tho advantages of the
franchise to which they are entitled,
owing in a great measure to the severe
struggle against poverty; the trade mon.
opoly of the Danish government, imposed
in 1600, and only removed in 1854, had
reduced the country to a condition of
poverty, from which it is only slowly recovering.
There are not wanting signs,
xiuwever, tunc tne women wm progress
side by side with the men in the improvements
which they arc struggling for, both
in their government and education.
Faihlon Notes.
Pale bronze is a popular color in new
goods.
There will be another season of black
hosiery.
Bead trellises arc a feature in dress
trimmings.
Straw hats are in Spanish and Tyrolean
shapes.
Yellow-brown is to supersede the favorite
green.
Some of the straw hats have Rembrandt
brims.
Sailor hats with broad brims are among
the various shapes in straw.
Heavy cord and braid trimmings, a la
militaire, will be used for jackets.
White muslin scarfs have rows of gold
lace alternating with the embroidery.
Colored silk laces will be used for trimming
silks and for millinery purposes.
Tartan plaids, of soft silk crape, will be
used in combination with plain materials.
Silk cashmere has silken lustre and
drapes as gracefully as its woolen name
sake.
Yellow will be combined with black,
white and the dark shades of yellowbrown.
Gauze ribbons have velvet stripes in
contrasting colors or arc embroidered in
self-colors.
The newest neck bandj, or dog collars,
are so high that they threaten to cut off a
lady's cars.
Beaded grenadines will be in favor for
summer wear; some of the designs art
very elaborate.
Novelty brands in straws are as numerous
and various as the weaves in the new
bordered and striped fabrics.
All the decorative pieces of glass,
china, or silver on the fashionable dinner
table arc tall and high at present.
Rosettes of ribbon only a quarter of an
inch in width as well as high bows oi
ribbon are used for trimming bonnets.
Brown, beige and fawn color are the
leading tints of grave colors. Pink will
be much worn; tho new shade is called
Venus.
New sun umbrellas are out in handles
finished with finely cut carnelian and
agate balls, mounted in gold and silver
swedges.
The polonaise will be again much worn.
When of plain material over a striped
skirt the vest, collar, revers and large
pockets are of velvet.
The new Japanese parasols present a
pleasing contrast with other styles in
their entirely novel shapes, produced by
the inverting of the ribs.
Undressed kid gloves continue to find
favor and are largely worn. Dressed kid
gloves are also in style and come with
elaborately embroidered backs.
Cloth for jackets and waterproof has
chinchilla stripes of the same color as the
ground. Brown grounds with red crossbars
are also used for the same garments.
A parasol for carriage use has a sensible
shape, the only wonder is that it had
not been thought of before. The back
and front are longei* than the sides, thus
preventing collision if two are in use at
tho same time.
A Way Oat of the Difficulty.
Mrs. Marmaduke?"Oh, dear I I have
just been calling on Mrs. Flipperts and
she showed me her baby. Such a thing.
I did not know what to say. It was too
awful for anything. A head and face like
a Bartlett pear, a nose spreading all ovei
like a batter cake, or two or three macaroons
run together, no eyes, and a mouth
that made one think of a jelloy fish 01
some such thing that squirms and opens
and shuts that one sees in the aquairum.
Oh, I declare, I was perfectly dumb, and
I felt like a fool. I could not for the life
of me think of anything to say."
Mrs. Pii^adulix?"I have a standing
phrase ready for all such emergencies."
Mrs. Marmaduke?"Oh! Then in pity
impart it to me, and I will call down
eternal blessings on your head."
Mrs. Papadulix?"Oh, it is very sim?
pie; when ono of those amorphous infants
is presented to mo I simply brighten up
and say, 'Well that is a babyl' The
mother takes it as a compliment, and 1
have not imperilled my everlasting soul."
