to the XviUt.
Everything is made easr ; vro can buv laoe bodice trimming ready to slip uver the head and only needing a pin here and there to adjust it, and we may have also the floral trimmings intermixed with rope-like folds of tnlle, which one or two safety pins will secure to the skirt. Whatever yon choose, be sate to have a high upstanding
aigrette of flowers for the hair, or a small chaplet, for, even with plenty of i diamonds, feathers or flowers, are invariably worn, also long bows of ribbon. The hair is dressed in knots and loops, the two sides distinctly different, and young girls to whom the style is blooming wear their hair turned off the face, a la Pompadour. Iiow bodices, laced at the back, are more fashionable than any other kind of court bodices cut well off the shoulders bnt those who are thin do well to raise them a little on the neck, and tins will not thereby outrage the roles laid down by La Mode. It is much the fashion to have epaulettes of flowers, made to stand up high. Heartshaped bodices are better worn than square. Tuckers are discarded whenever possible, and the dressmaker's art consists in draping tha material used lor trimming with such subtle skill that it shows off the skin to the greatest possible advantage. The old-fashioned berthas are coming in again, but a newer style is to carry the trimming down die front as a short stomacher or full baby bodice, and sometimes this is outlined from the ahonlder with ribbonlike braces, which disappear in the points in front, for bodices are nearly all pointed back and front The best material now used is the new pean de sole leather silk, very soft of texture, bnt so firm that it can be cut to a hair, and the figure looks as though the solid flesh were melted into the dress. This is a marked improvement on satin, which was too glistening to be really becoming. Flowers are worn on the skirt, and just a bunch on the bodice. Lissa handkerchiefs in delicate hades, embroidered at the edges, are pinned with pearl-headed pins into more decided caps, though very light and airy-looking, wL'ite wreaths, half ribbon, half flowers, are equally pretty, especially one of peach-pearl edged ribbon and wistaria of the same shade.
Manv cans have also been made m
divers shades of the Turkish embroidery with sequins, while others in light shades are almost entirely composed of marabout. A good cap for every-day wear for an elderly woman is made of red,
with a square crown, surrounded by ribbon bows, a lappet hanging at the side, edged with hue, which could
be brought forward or allowed to droop
at the side. Useful velvet hoods of an
entirely jiew form are now made for theater wear; they consist of a half handkerchief of black velvet, lined with quOted satin, generally red, the point above the forehead caught down by a strap of ribbon, a coqefctish bow at the side, and ribbon strings to tie
under the chin. A very stylish dress trimming was composed of a strip of ostrich feathers, with loops of velvet and butterflies, all of the same tone, at intervals; an aigrette of the same mix-
tore accompanied this for the hair.
kinds are ttsed, and set raitterns for combination suits are plentiful. Fine stripes, scarcely more than a thread in black and dark sravs have cither a
black or a -white thread. j Figures, such m we are accustomed to see in India silks, are used in stuffs to be used with plain goods colored like the ground of the figured fabric. In elegant goods, mention should be made of a black silk and velvet and jet brocade. The ground is black velvet
and the pattern is sunk in and shows raised in parts. The center and outside edge is a single string of jet beads which show the pattern out admirably. This goods is to be used for trimming any kind Df a black dross. Fichus of many kinds are worn with dresses for semi-dross occasions, and something new in this line is hailed with joy. A collar and chemisette combined is made of folds of soft silk and
narrow ribbon, mo louts run long
wise for the collar and lorm a V for tho chemisette, each fold has loops of the narrowest ribbon peeping over the edge of the fold and help to keep the -fold raised a little. The whole effect is very dainty.
Another fichu was fine lace sewed on
to a foundation to form a cascade, or
alternate folds of laco. The foundation
started about sis inches broad and
ended in a point, thus forming a long V. Everywhere the laca turned formed a new fold, narrow loops of lavender ribbon was fastened and loops were mixed in with the lace around the neck and in he sleeves.
INDIANA STATE NEWS.
Glove. Some lovely gloves have been worn
this winter, but the spring promises as lovely a supply for the summer. The latter part of tho winter uiits have superseded gloves, and silk inits are
very beautiful. The tops are jn beautiful patterns of lace, and are edged with
lace along the top.
The popularity for very narrow rib
bon gives the needful excuse for orna
menting the top of silk mits with
rosette bows of ribbon the color of the mits.
Silk mits do not have any fingers,
and a gum is necessary to keep them down.
All shades of tan and wood brown
are worn with any aress, out me one beauty of silk gloves is to have them match the costume.
&(ye for Spring.
One new thing about spring styles is
the short overskirl The overdresses are fuU, but are scarcely longer than paniers. The draping is well to the back, but the fullness is .from the belt.
The bottoms of Bkirts are not so
plain, as the narrow pleating appears on nearly all of them. An ugly fashion now in vogue is to have a quilling of
skirt braid on the outside at the liot-
tom of the skirt The braid is stiff and
makes the whole skirt look bristly. The old pleating will be a great improvement on such a fashion. , Vests with revers are still popular, and there is scarcely any new ideas on this subject Vests have been used so long that it is hard to have a novel one. Many of them are very pretty, how
ever.,
Hmm Tfey Will Area SAeir Sate. Fashionable ladies will still we
their hair high this spring and summer.
For ordinary wear the back ban is twisted on the top of the head with two loops forming a bowknot For even
ing wear the hair is dressed high, the
back hair waved slightly and puffed in
graceful loops on the top of the head.
A novelty in chignon, called tile
"sapho," is also much worn; two long
strands of wavy hair with curled ends
fastened on a comb made for the purpose are interlaced in such a manner as to form a graceful chignon. Ladies can dress them on their toilet table
without, fatigue hi a few minutes, and after their front hair is arranged, place it on their head, a perfect coiffure. The front hair is mnch worn in the style which may be called the "Cleveland pompadour bang;" the hair is trimmed in the usual bang shape, but left rather long and curled back pompadour shape in the center of the forehead, with a few flat curls on each side. The waved pompadour over crimped cushions, leaving a few short curls to Jiroininh the height of the forehead, is also worn by some of the most fashionable New York ladies. Front coiffures made in fashionable shapes
are worn as mnch as ever; they save the ladies a great deal of trouble, and 'in most sases look better than the reul hair dressed, as they do not get out of curl or waves, as the natural hair would in the heated theaters or crowded ballzooms. Ladies do not get their hair eut short as much as they did last year; they are letting it grow, and have it curled on the back of the head, a style quite becoming to the young. Some ladies who have not had their hair eat at the back get a curled chignon at their hair-dressers to produce the same effect. The latest bang is in the shape of a V and is called the "Russian bang." It is barbarous I Bibbons, flowers, aigret of light feathers are fashionable for the hair for evening wear. Bhine-Mtone hair-pins, shell and amber, hair ornaments are worn at dinner parties. Bonnet, or no bonnet? That is the
question which a fashionable New York lady is called upon to decide before
going to the theater, and the no-bonnet
has carried the day at the leading
theaters by a large majority. Hairdressers have been called to the rescue,
and toe ladles nave tnetr nan as
prettily dressed as if they were at an
vening party.
Wraps.
Everything in the way of outside clothing is short.mantles, visits, jackets,
etc., are all short And nearly all of
them are very plain and in dark colors.
Indistinct bars, are in high favor for
jackets, and hoods appear indispensable.
The lining of hoods is always silk or
satin, and every color has bean nsed.
Light tints on evening wraps and dark reds, bines, and browns on street
wraps. Many of the new jackets are black and have the hood lined with block.
These are very handy for those who do not change the wrap with every suit
worn.
Some handsome buttons are used to fasten jackets, and lovely clasps fasten
all sort3 of capes. Jloirry. From the new assortment of hose,
black ones are absent The colors and
patterns are striking, to say the least.
Bine hose with pyramids of white reaching more than half way up, is one style. Scarlet with large rectangular
blocks of orange is another variety
Nile green with diamond blocks of pink is yet another. All the patterns are
some form of a block, solid or hollow.

New goods are shown for early
spring wear, and there is nothing absolutely new among them, says an Eastam fashion authority. Materials of two
Xovolties.
Drawn work, hemstitching, brier and feather-stitching, embroidery, lace and tucks adorn the long pretty first dresses
of the baby of the present
Paletots, or "coats," for little girls
look'stylish with a hood of the material
hanging down the back, richly lined,
and a waistcoat to match in the front.
For simple skirt trimmings to rich
toilets there are being executed narrow fringed ruches, which are placed either in zigzag rows, or straight across the
foot of the skirt
Evening gowns for dancing are made
of tulle, crepe, and in great numbers of
the new cashmere nets in pink, coffee color, pistache green, lavender, red, and black, dotted with chenille in the same
color.
Bead net tabliers, panels and plas
trons, epaulets, and, when the dress demands them, collars and cuffs retain their hold on fashionable favor, and are
made in the handsomer designs and
finer finish from season to season.
All sorts of dressy accessories of the
toilet in the form of removable waist
coats, fichus, plastrons, sleeveless chort jackets, epaulets, and dog-collars are
made of velvets, plush, jet, and other beads, lace and fancy ribbons, with
picot edges.
The stockinettes for spring jerseys
are showing some new features, and have small designs worked on their surface in floss silk. Cardinal is seen under three different aspects. One foundation of it shows a tiny white
flowei , another has a similar one
navy-blue, while on a third a diamond
in bine is cut through the middle by
white line. A similar design, formed by crimson and white, is seen on a black ground, and on other samples of the latter are flowers both in black and white. These are all repeated upon
naw-blue. and also woven, with a tri
fling variation, upon white.
A gnrg of swindlers hns jnst been )ineaithed Hint have been operating in different sections of the State quite successfully. Their scheme is raiher novel and bears on its face every mark of Reiiuineness, and it is a pretty slick farmer that escapes. These men go in pairs, and their business is to watch the weekly newspapers fornolu es of stock tlmt has been token up and advertised. Soon us one of these notices is found, one of tho men goes to the party who has taken tho stock up and inspects it carefully, but is vory sorry to find that the lost auiinal is not his. He then goes back to his partner and gives him a full description of tie i roperty, nnd if there is any special mark or blemish on the benst a note is made of it. Then in a day or two the second man goes to tho farmer and says: "I see you have taken up a horse (as the case may be) and as one of mine strayeJ away some time since, I would like to see tho animal." "Oh, yes, certainly." "I wonl.l have no objection to describing it." and then w.li follow the description, which is always finished with ihe remark that "I can identify tho horse in a minute if he is mine, by a ," and then some little, peculiar mark is named that was fonnd by the first man. Tho farmer looks for thin-, and finds it, llo identification is complete, nnd the slock is about to be turned over, when the sliarper, half
hesitating, says something about selling it. Then, in his own "slick" way, he makes n
cash sale, the fanner agreeing to pay the
advertising bill. In due time the rightful owner puts in an appearance, claims anil proves up the properly, and the farmer
realizes that be has been taken in and (lone
for. The trick is a "good one," and as a
rule, works to perfection.
Among friends of Indiana Vniversily
there has been much anxiety as to what will be the result on tho institution by reason of the failure of the Legislnluio to act on tho appropriation bills. It will.
therefore, be a lelisf to know that the re
sult will not affect tho institution in ant
way, save to keep it cramped for need ol working room. Dr. Jordan stated in answi r to a question as to the resources of the invitation: "The failure of the general appropriation will postpone to the next
meeting of the General Assembly the
building of the much-needed library hall. It also leaves unsettled the disagreement between the University Trustees and the late Auditor of S-'tate as to the lime when the semi-annual installment of the University's stated appropriation should be
made. Otherwise tho work of the I nt-
versity is in no wise dependent upon the action of tho Legislature. The sources of
income for the next year are the following: Stated appropriation made by law and not
dependent upon future legislation, S23,0fl0; interest on proceeds of lands given by Ihe
United States Government, $7,0Mi; inter
est en accumulation of endowment fund.
($12,000) $6,00(1; fees of students, $3,700;
other sources of revenue, SdOO, making a
total of $40,000. The income of 18Si should he about 42,500. While the in
stitution will not secure a building which is mnch needed, the failure of this bill will
in no way check its prosperity."

An old man recently died in Mont
gomery County who was suppos?d to be in poor circumstances. It was ascertained,
however, when the remains were prepared
for burial, that the sum of $1,000 was con
cealed about his body. The sum of S40(
was fonnd in his pockets, and there was
600 in bills sewed up in a bell whiel
passed around his body under his clothes.
This money had been carried in this belt,
from appearances, a long time.

Kamber Three Feet The shopman was on his knees boforo
his customer. She was a fat and pretty woman. Ho was doing his best to force,
coax, twist and compress a number six foot into a number three button gaiter,
and she was doing her best to assist in
the heroic impossibility. Their laces were red and perspiring the lady's with suppressed agony, not unmixed with unflinching resolve, and the man's
with a hnlf-bafflod determination to
leather the foot somehow. At length there was a ces alion of hostilities.
"Excuse me, madam," said the shopman
drawing a long breath while effecting
tne enfrancnisement ot'the uoot, uut are you qnite sure that you wear I mean nr would you be altogether comfortable and at home in these?"
"Why. of course, sir: I always wear
threes! 'said the stout lady, smilingly smootheriug a groan of relief. '"Anything largo would wabble all over my instep after breaking 'em in. Those
can't be threes, or they le tue pmcuiest
threes I ever paw."
She surveyed with a puzzled look
her pin-rap Chicago foot, and the shopman held the unsuccessful shoe tip to the light, and examined it inside and out. with an equally puz ded air. Then
he examined several other defeated antt woebegone looking specimens that wove scattered over the disastrous field. Wait!" he said, scratching his head.
I just happen to think of a somewhat
roomier three that we have on hand."
"Not too roomy, remember! the lady
shouted, as he tripped to the rear end
of the shelves. "There s nothing 1 dislike more than a slovenly shoe wrinkl
ing and shuffling all over iny foot
He returned with a nair seemingly
two full sizes larger than any that had
been tested, tint are you sure inose are threes?" asked the lady, as he again went down on his knees and got to work on tho refractory foot. "For, you see bless me! Ouch! lb. ally, sir ah!"
But at this innctare the foot was
fairly encased, with a wrench, ft wriggle,
and a drag, for the shopman had forced
tho lighting in sheer dc-s eration, ana was nlviiic the button hook with praise
worthy effect. "There you are. ma'am!"
said he, putting and rubbing down the
still excruciatingly tight ht admiringly with both hands. "A beautiful tit!

There! Fits like a kid glove! Kosy
and comfortable, eh ?
"Yes; only a little loose, I'm thinking," said the lady smilingly, but grit
ting her teeth while standing up ana
plumping down on the tortured member. "But I think this pair will do. You see, I was right about threes, after all. No; I shan't wear 'em home not in this weather. Please wrap 'em up
and 1 11 take them along, thank yon. The reporter, who had been an unob
served observer of the proceedings, turned to the shopman, after the lady
had paid her bill nnd departed with her purchase. "Were they re illy

smiled. "Thev were five and a half,

;i.3r- ow rwrate A gentleman w ho was showing me a
literary paper which ho had written in j a very clear, bold hand, remarked : "I always write very distinctly, that
I may have no difllculty in reading my manuscript when old age comes i.ipon me." He was then bordering on 70. Another very vigorous old gentleman, aged T7, who was at the head of a large publishing establishment, was explaining to a friend the enormous amount of work he went through from day to day. The friend remarked that it must tell upon him seriously at his age. Oh, no," he replied; "I don't feel it now, but I expeot I shall do so in after life!" I cannot vouch for tho truth of the following anecdotes, but they may BJrve to "point a moral and adorn a tale." In the old coaching days, when a coach stopped on one occasion to change horses, one of tho passengers strolled along a green lane and was surprised to see an old man sitting under the hedge crying. In answer to a question as to the cause of his grief, he replied that his father had been beating him. The passenger, who thought the father of an old man like that must bo a curiosity worth seeing, asked him to take him to his father. The old man led liim to a cottage, where a very old man was standing at the gate, looking very angry. "Is this your son?" he asked. "Yes," replied the old man, gruffly. "He tells me you have been beating him," said the passenger. "Yes, and he deserves beating, the young rascal, for he has been throwing stones at his grandfather!" I have heard of another old man ard his wife, both of whom had reached the venerable age of 100. They had three daughters, the youngest of whom died unmarried, at the age of 72. The old woman was quite inconsolable on account of their irreparable loss. The youngest daughter had evidently been her pet, for after their return from the funeral she said to her husband, amid her sobs and tears : "I always tellt thee, John, that we should never rtar that child." Disorders WUieli Affect the Klaueys Are among the most formidable known. Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel, and other com. pU.nts of the urinary organs, are not ordinarily cured in severe coses, but they may bo averted by timely medication. A useful stimulant of the urinary glands has ever been found in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a medicine which not only alloiiU the requisite stimulus when they bee me inactive, but increases their vigor and soorotive powur. By inereasing the activity of the kidneys and bladder, this medicine has tho additional effect of expelling from tho blood impurities which it is the peculiar office of those organs to eliminate and pass off. The Hitters is also a puriner and strengtheuer of tne bowels, an imtgorant ol tue s'.ouiach, and a matchless rem dy for bilku .nesa and fever and ague. It counteracts a tendency to prematura deay, and sustain i and comforts the aaed and inlirui.
What His Uncle Said. Summerbee's boy didn't learn his alphabet very readily and always stuck at G. Tha "schoolinarm" tried to make him remember it, bnt to no purpose. Finally an idea struck her. She ta;d : "Johnny, you were in the country during last vacation, I believe?"
"Yesum." "Your unclo had some cattle, too, did
he not?"
"Yesum." "Well, did he not say to his cattle
when he wanted them to go, gee ?"
"lesum. "Now do you think you can remem
ber the letter?"

A tireat Inducement. A New York nabob, who recently
made a trip to Southern Missouri on business, fell in with one community
which appreciated him 100 cents on tne dollar. The village tavern-keeper bribed three or four roughs to quit
quarreling an hour earlier than usual;
tue undertaker ottered w per cent, on in ease his services were needed; the
Postmaster was awful sorry there was
no mail for liim, and, as the millionaire
not readv to leave, the leader of the
brass baud took him by the hand and
said ;
"Say, Mister, we like your style, we do, and if you want to settle down here with us you can be elected a Justice of the Peace qmcker'n Jack Robinson!"

A method of preventing pitting in small-pos is given in the Gasette lies llosvitaux: A mask is made of very
pi 'able linen cloth, leaving apertures for the eves, nose and mouth: and the
inside of this is smeared with a certain
liniment prepared in either of the three following ways: One of these consists, of carbolic acid, four to ten parts, foity parts olive oil and sixty parts prepared chalk ; another, five parts carbolic acid, and forty parts each of olive oil and pure starch; and a third, two parts thymol, forty of linseed oil and sixty
of ..lmlk in nowder. The mask should
be renewed every twelvo hours, and compresses impregnate ,1 with one of !he' mixtures mav also be placed on
the hands, and on any parts of the fin'o which the mask does not directly

The life of a Canadian Peasant. Th9 habitants, or peasants, are wido ly separated from the gentry; there seems to be no democratic, average level of society. But all ela&ses are on the best of terms, sharing as they do the national contentment and gayety. Their social life in winter presents tho most characteristic features, but thit unambitious people find time for their simple enjoyments at any season. The home of the habitant; is the plainest and ( heapost shelter demanded by comfort. But his social life presents more interesting features. In this class also one is struck by the fullness of social happiness and the meagreness of external interests; for example, Mr. D , the most- intelligent and progressive farmer of tho parish, and one of the foremost men of the county, reads no paper and gets no information on even Ids specialty of agriculture. Ho learns less than an average farm laborer among uh. "But," I said to him, "how do you keep yourself posted on the improvements?" "Why, wo don't; we don't improve, that's all. We get along well enough as our fathers did." "I should think your long winters
would be a very enjoyable season for i
study. What do you all do with so
much time ?
'Oh, we loaf and eniov our pipes.
But we also have to work. We get up
at half past five, light the lanterns, and
go to the barn and feed the stock. After
breakfast, at half-past seven, the two
principal labors of winter are begun, viz., hauling wood to keep the house warm anil threshinggrain to eat. Those who go far for wood start at four or five
o clock. We used to see forty or fifty
sleds in a lino going up the mountain at St. Pacome to our wood lots. Wrhen the wind blows we set the wind-mill going, and thresh grain in the barn.
After smoking the after-dinner pipe we
saw wood or thresh or fan grain till the chores come again at half-past four. After supper the men always go to visit a favorite neighbor for the parish is somewhat divided into sets until nine o'clock. The final visit to the barn, to
lied and feed the stock, finishes the day. And we don't make much out of read
ing."
"What do the women do all winter?" "Oh, their work is never done. They,
of course, keep about the same hours as
the men. After making the nres and
putting the bieakfast and pea-soup to cook, they take the lantern and go to milk. After the breakfast, the washing of the children for school, and the sweeping are done, they sit down to spin, knie or weave all day. Sometimes the dog may be harnessed to the little sled and my wife rides over to a neigh
bor to make an evening call. Hut, as a rule, the women go out very seldom, excepting to the church. Of course there are days of general scrubbing with spruce boughs for the pleasant odor they give of washing every three or four weeks; and seasons of special labors, as butchering before Christmas,
when meats for six months are dressed,
and frozen, either on the shelves of an
outer room, or in boxes and barrels filled with snow. C. H. Farnham in
Harper's Magazine.
