almond will be the choice colors, and moire or velvet for vest, cuffs and collars will be used to render the gown
more dressy and becoming. These pretty dresses are very inexpensive, as fine qualities can be bought at 50 and 75 cents a yard, and eight to ten yards will make a dress (using inferior goods
for the foundation) that is Kiitea, paneled, or box-plaited. An effective addition is a surplice front and sash of moire or velvet. One chic and graceful gown exhibited is made of Venetian red cashmere, and trimmed with sash and surplice folds of black wateretjsilk, with the front and sides draped with black Spanish lace. Another, still prettier, is made of Peruvian-mauve, with a deep rever of violet velvet A Fedora vest of mauve surah and a short Bussian jacket of velvet are added.

Leading importing houses are opening cases of very beautifully colored velvets, as these rich fabrics are to be largely used the fall and winter seasons tiinvnoh for entire costumes, for
basques, overskirts of contrasting material, and for fancy corsages accompanying skirts of silk, lace, and transparent woolen fabrics, like albatross, etc Many of the stylish velvet costumes which have reached America from Paris show the skirt and bodice trimmings of striped velvet, both in black sad colors. The most elegant costumes, however, are made of plain rich vel
vets, in superb wine shades, deep blue, olive, bronze, myrtle, bishops' purple, rosewood, and nut-brown colorings. Although more novel and therefore more attractive to those who have strong liking for new effects, the costly velvet gaits made up with portions of it formed of striped velvet will find fewer purchasers than those made wholly of vel
vet in monochrome, for the reason that the former bears its date far sooner
than the latter. Costumes, uiougn made of material long in use, come to
us showing such new effects in style and draping as to render these gowns
genuine novelties. Nets York Sun.

As a cilngs, physicians are sensitive to
the obligations of thoir profession. Their gratuitous visits to the homes of tho poor, and the readiness with which
they respond to midnigns cans m coin and stormy weather, illustrates their sympathy with the old French proverb, "'.A'd&elesse oblige," (.nobility binds to noble conduct).
But here and there a maok sheep ap
pears among these servants of humanity. Tho following anecdote, told by an
officer m the .British army, exhibits a physician who was both inhuman and a snob :
Lord Itichard Cavendish, the son of
the Duko of Devonshire, arrived at a small Swiss watering-place, with a ser
vant dangerously ill. The nobleman
travelled as plain Mr. Cavendish, and
was only known as such to the public.-
There being no doctor lor the moment at the baths, his lordship was glad to hear of the arrival of an English
physician, who was passing through the place. Going to him, he begged him as a favor to see his sick servant.
The doctor brusmiely refused, saying
ha could not bo bothered during his
short holiday. JUord CSavondish bowed and turned away. The landlord, who knew the rank of his. guest, said to the phyaioian: "Do you know to whom you were speaking?"
"No." lie replied, "nor do I care: i
cannot bo pestered in this way," "Well, " replied the landlord, "he is the son of the Duke of Devonshire."

The first characteristic in the new fashions abroad is the rarity of costumes made entirely of one plain material (ex
cept, of course, in mourning). The Titilitv tailor-made suits are, to some ex
tent, an exception, but even these have often elaborate trimmings of velvet, and vests of various kinds of bright or light
silks, crapes, etc. . They are made of light-weight wools rather than heavy cloths. Next come the combination wool dresses. These are of the .handsome striped goods (the stripes either horizontal or perpendicular) with plain fabrics. Velvet may almost be said to be the leadmg feature in the winter's styles. Onpiain suits are seen collars, cuffs,
and revers; in more elaborate ones, pannels, skirts basques, Fedora jackets, and ooats. It appears in combination with all kinds of wool and silk.
A marked feature of ceremonious dresses is the laying of light, semitransparent fabrics over heavy ones. Laces, white aad black, including tho point d'esprit nets, are familiar examples of this. In addition are the oldfashioned bareges, restored to favor, embroidered muslins, veilings and albatross cloths. Bright-colored SiciHennes and satins will be used under these light fabrics by young, and gray,
y and other subdued shades by older
fashion fancies.
Another prominent characteristic th at is especially important is the great variety of corsages of all sorts which
are to be worn with skirts- of different materials. There will be an unusual demand for silk materials in small
Quantities for these jackets, basques,
and coats. Velvet, plush, satin, and
rich black silks will be specially popu
lar for them.
Many of these garments and most costumes will be furnished with vesta or puffings, contrasting with the gown
in fabric and color, and often several accompany one costume. Chief among these will be surah silk iu bright or
light monotones, and in stripes, plaids,
and spotted designs. Vests will also be made of plush velvet, plain and bro
caded, moire and watered silk, China silks, etamine, cantons, crepes of all kinds and laces. Many of these fabrics
are embroidered with beads, jet and
colored, or with silk. In this depart
ment, fortunately, there is no question of matching dresses. It may also be
said that anything rich and brilliant on the one hand, or soft and delicate on
the other, will be accepted as material

The first has a skirt of nut-colored figured cashmere, trimmed on each side with a velvet panel, that on the
right aide being wider than that on the left, which widens gradually toward the top. The skirt is plaited and the
back of the overskirt is draped m
point and raised in front, forming
draperies on each side. The corsages
is of velvet and forms two long points,
tlu nlaatron beinct formed by the
drapery, which ascends to the neck and
is gathered. A cashmere plait crosses the right side of the basque and holds the drapery in front.
Another has a skirt of gray-blue satin delaine, bordered at the bottom with a fine plaiting, over which is a band of Oriental cashmere. The skirt is flat in
front and has plaits in the back, the overskirt, or scarf, being of the same t3ftuw,but plain and without darts,
There are no marked changes in the
manner of making new dresses, their novelty consists in small details, in new
colors, and in odd ways of combing various fabrics. Basques with vests
and revers are retained, also long bouf
fant draperies with either plain or plaited skirts, and as these were all
worn last winter it will not be difficult or expensive to rearrange the dresses of last season and ffive them a new and
stylish appearance.
Rich embroideries in imitation of Hungarian work atw' made of flat silk gimp and raised designs in tufted che
nille. Bands of tins decorate the skirt,
sleeves, and basque front, Other new embroideries are in velvet applique on
cloth, the work in raised silk outlined
' with beads or metallic threads. Panels
for handsome silk and satin dresses are
bordered with Renaissance designs in
satin-stitch embroidery, intermixed
with plush flowers in relief.
One of the fashionable corsages which
is likely to prove very popular in evening dross is made of black silk velvet,
opening broadly half the length of the
front over a chemisette Bussc of richest white laee. There are merely wide straps "of black velvet which go over the shoulders with a dainty fall of lace beneath them simply to veil the top of
the arm. The back is cut down slightly in a V-shape and ends in a very short
"bird's-tail" postilion with a fan of lace
set between the two plaits. This cor
sage can be worn over skirts of any rich description.
Vest stylish toilets are made in the
Iiouis XV. style. The skirt front, or
tablier, is of lace, fully gathered around
the waist, and trimmed across with
two plaited ruches of ribbon. This skirt front is placed over an underskirt of faded rose silk; a tunic skirt of silk brocade in a rich floral pattern opens
over this skirt front; it is looped up at the sides with flowing bows of ribbon, and fully puffed out at the back ; peaked bodice, opened in a square in front, and
trimmed with ribbon ruches; sleeves short to the elbow, and trimmed with
ruches and lace frillings.
In addition to the multitude of ma
chine and hand-wrought embrouleries are various kinds of elegant fanoy ap
pliques and novel devices in passementeries of all kinds. Some of the openwork fabrics for dinner and visiting gowns are made to imitate elaborate Indian embroideries, and on silken tex
tiles much of the embroideries is in sequin, beads, and pendants of various
sorts. The wines of numerous small
wraps and the fronts of dresses, side panels, waistcoats, and peplums are
made of rich open-work embroidery
stitched all over with tiny sequins and
jet drops.
An immense importation of figured materials is shown, designed both for
elegant gowns and wraps, among whioh are violet, ruby, and ecru tinted
grounds of flchu Lyons satin in plain
and shot effects, brocaded with brilliantly shaded blossoms, these raised and formed of plush or velvet The designs of the most expensive patterns are wholly novel, and altogether unlike any of the velvet brocades usually offered. Some of these textiles show superb broche designs in magnificent Oriental combinations of color; others display a deft and artistic shading of one rich oolor alone.

"People do not reilizj this, because, singular as it may seem, the kidneys may be in a very advanced etago of decomposition, and yet owing to tho faot that there are but few nerves of sensation in them, the subject will not experience much pain therein. On this account thousands of people die every year of kidney disease unknowingly. They have so-called disorders of the head, of the heart and lungs and Btomach. and treat them in vain, for the real cause of their misery is deranged kidneys, and if they were restored to health the other disorders would soon disappear, f . Dr. Stephens' experience, that can be confirmed by many thousands whom he baa treated, adds only more emphasis to the nt munv hnnrirads of thousands aU
over the world, that tho remedy he refers to is
without any douut me most ueuuu movery ever given to humanity.

How Women Differ from Hen. At least three men on the average jury are bound to disagree with the rest, just to show that they've got minds of their own; but there is no disagreement among tho women aa to the merits of Dr. Pierce's "Favorite Prescription.' Thoy are all unanimous in pronouncing it tho best remedy in the world for all those chronic diseases, weaknesses and complaints peculiar to their sex. It transforms the pale, haggard, dispirited woman into one of sparkling health, and tho ringing laugh again "reigns supreme in the happy household.

Ontil recently oyster shells have been used only for making lime. A few years ago somebody discovered that the
shells miKlo capital lounaawou ira ujater beds, and within a year or two many thousands of bushels have been used for this purpose. The oysterman selects a good spot for a bed and simply dumps the shelli overboard. This is done in July and August, during the spawning season. The spawn attaches itself to the shell, and in two years the shell is xnvArnl -with ovsters ranging from the
size of a silver quarter to that of a half
dollar. Then the oysters are oig enough to seed, and are planted as such. Sometimes thirty or forty such oysters are found attached to a single shell. The shells are worth 3 cents a bushel when thrown overboard, and at the end of two years they are worth from 60 to 75 cents per bushel, making a very good margin for profit. This rriAt.rinrl nf raisino- seed ovsters is being
rapidly extended, and a number of steamers have recently been built at ! New Haven, Conn., with special apparatus for transplanting the shells. Washington Star. KanoCwturers in the Green Isle.

TjtiE London bakeries used to be visited by parish officers. Now they are controlled by Government inspectors not numerous enough for the efficient performance of the work. Recent investiirations showed that many bakeries

Ho took the two he had bought pulled his coat-collar up and his hat-brim down, and set out in the dark. At Twentyfourth street he stopped a benevolentlooking pedestrian with: "Please buy my two pencils for 10 cents apiece; I am starving; I have had nothing to eat for twenty-fur hours," etc. The man Tniahml him aside, saving gruffly: "I
can buy three for a quarter down the street, and went on. Three others being appealed to, did about the same. At last he slouched into the Gilsey House and tried the dodge on a man at the bar, who tossed him a quarter, saying: "Take that, old man, I don't want any pencils." Then "Josh" revealed himself, and told the story of his experience as an amateur pencil-seller to the great amusement of the assembled company.

The Professor
Of an academy in Vermont, was cured of catarrh by
Hood's Sanaparllla, and writes ne louowug inter
esting statement: "1 cheerfully give my experience in the use of Hood's Barsaparitla. I had been troubled with catarratoaome extent for a long time, and had
used various medicines with no good results, wnen I was to affected that spescB was somewhat difficult, and my volco was entirely unnatural. I then began to use Hood's Sarsaparllla as a remedy, and with such good effect that In a few weeks speech was easy, voice natural, and my general health was much Improved. Sometimes a return of the disease Is Induced by taking oold, when I resort at once to the use of Hood's Barsaparllla, which I keep by me constantly, and always flud relief. I regard Hood's Sarsaparllla aa an Individual romedy for catarrh, and j edging ty its effects upon myself I oannot say to mil eh in its praise." J. 8. CHXriY.
