It seems the designers of Silks have been studying the old masters, and with good effect, so perfectly have they blonded colors and shades of colors in the new things for spring. The wonder is how so much of tho artistic can be secured for the price. There are printed warp Persians and Dresdens, in the. new Chameleon shadings, French and Scotch Plaids and Chocks as well as Brocaded Taffetas and Chinas.

We sell the celebrated Natchaug brand, the besl iino of fine black silks produced Jin America.

Vlnet*.i by a {(nlok Proc*»*H. Vinogiir m.iy bo made iu a very sboct) time by a suit of filtering process that can bo haimled by .any person of ordinary ingenuity. A lurgo barrel has a perforated ^holf lifted in a few inclins below the top. From tho holes fall ends of pack thread, which are knoited at the iriper end so that they may not lo drawn entiro through. Glass tubes aro fixed in thesiiiilf as air vents. Tho lowrr edge of the barrol is tilled with holes placed abi ut six inches above the hot torn, and a siphon carries off tho liquid that accumulates below this point. Diluted aleohclio liquor, slightly sweotened with honey or with extract of malt, is slowly dr pped through tho holes in tho shelf and runs through beeehwood shavings that have previously been steeped in good vinegar. The liquor, which should be kt-pt at a temperature of 75 to 85 degrees P., fillers down through the threads and over tho sl' ivings to tho bottom of tho barrel, whence it runs over through tho siphon. After awhile the temperature in tho barrel rises to about 100 degrees F., thu chemical action going on meanwhile. It is necessary to pour tho liquor again aud again through tho generator bel'nro it is satisfactory. From throe or four to half a dozen filtorings are usually sufficient, though more aro sometimes 'oquirod, depending a good deal on the quality of the materials and tho temperature at starting.—New York Ledger.

She Was Not Kngngrc!.

Mrs. B. had changed girls, and was undergoing tho usual catechism ift tho hands of her kitchen's future ruler. After a succession of damsels from "tho ould dart" her husband had strenuously insisted that she try "an intelligent and cleanly Aniorican girl." E|e had found such a ouo and was euro she would prove a treasure. The lady of the house even thought he might not bo mistaken, bo trim and neat was tho newcomer. "Yes. I'm a splendid washer," that person said, "aud I can iron shirts to beat a Chinaman—I always did up father's at homo. I always had time, for, you see, I know how to manage. Flat things, sheets, tablecloths, napkins, I fold and lay around in the chairs they come out beautifully smooth when you have sat on them a day or two. And that reminds mo to ask, where had yon rather I put them, here iu your chair or your husband's?"

It took Mrs. B. sometime minutes to recover speech, but finally she managed to say that on the whole she feared she would not suit a domestic so progressive. —New Ycrk Journal.

How Crockett Uve'd.

S. E. Crockett, the Scotch writer, has been telling how he used to raise the heat when a hard up student in Edinburgh. He lodged with a friend over a great coal station, and be used to go out in tho evening and pick up the ooals which the carts had dropped in the streets. "Sometimes," he says, "I grew so bold as to chuck a lump of coal at a driver, who invariably looked for the biggest lump on his load to hit back •with, which was what I wanted. TIiub the exorcise warmed me at the time and tho coal warmed mo afterward. And occasionally we got a large enough stock to sell to our companions, and buy a book or two. But I wish, here and now, solemnly to state that I never, never condescended to lift a lump off a cart, at least hardly—well, unless it was manifestly inconveniencing the safety of tha load or ovo* burdening the safety of the horse, you know 1"

A Gibraltar Legend.

One of the stock of ancient legends relating to the Rock of Gibraltar, from whioh the passing griffs were formerly regaled, relates how a young Scotch subaltern was on guard duty with a brother offioer, when the lattrr in visitin# the yen tries 'Ml over a j«~ ipire ami was killed. Wi.cn the surviv.r was relieved from dn he made hu eujlom ary written report in the usual form, "Nothing extraordinary." And this brought the brigade major down upon him in a rage. "WhatI When your brother officer on duty with you has fallen down a precipice 400 feet high and been killed, you report nothing extraordinary 1" "Weel, Bir," replied the Scot calmly, "I dinna think there's onything extraornery in it, ava. If he bad fa'en doon four bunder' feet and not been killed—weel, I Should hae oa'd ttat extraornery."

Human Broth.

A very singular superstition has just come to light. According to an authority in Shanghai, the heathen Chinee lives under the impression that the healing qualities of the human flesh are practically unlimited.

For this reason when a father or mother is taken ill the flesh of one of the children is frequently sacrificed in order that it maybe made into what one might describe as beef tea for the stricken parent.

Not long ago a clerk in a government office deliberately cut off his finger in the belief that when made into sonp it would improve the health of his mother, who lay ilL

^Atmosphere.

There is a wide difference of opinion among the learned men of the world as to what would bo the effect of wholly removing the atmosphere. Some think that if it were possible to live afterward all the stars, planets, etc., would bo visible in broad daylight. Others declare that there would be no day, and that the sun Hself could not bo seen under such conditions.—St. Louis Republic.

Great Aid to Conversation.

"You play beautifully," exclaimed tho lovely vision. Tho virtuoso rose from tho piano with a bow. "Thank you," he murmured. "You made me think of such a numbor of things to say," the woman proceeded, with undisguised rapture.—Deiroit Tribune.

The Crciccnt of the Mohammedan*. The crescent symbol of the Mohammedans has nothing to do with their peculiar religious opinions and ceremonies. It was not originally a symbol oft lie followers of Mohammed at all, but was first used by the Byzaufinos. Thousands of coins have been found in all parts of Turkey which date back to the time when Constantinople was known ns Byzantium, and on each of these the symbol of tho crescent appears, proving conclusively that it was iu uso as an emblem among tho people of that region long before Byzantir.m was overthrown and its name changed to Constantinople. The story of tho origin of tho crescent symbol is as follows: When Philip of Macedonia besieged Byzantium, ho had planned to storm tho city on a certain cloudy night, but beforo his arrangements were completed tho moon shone out and discovered his approach to the besieged citizens, who accordingly marched out. and repulsed his forces— something which would have been impossible iu tho darkness. After that event all Byzantine coins boro Iho sym bol of the crescent moon, which was always alluded to as ho "Savior of Byzantium.

After many years tho hordes under Mohammed II captured Constantinople. At that timo tho crescent was used everywhere and upon everything. Suspecting that there must be magical power in tho emblem tho Mohammedans appropriated it, and liavo siuco used it as their only symbolic decoration.—tit. Louis Republic.

Henry Clay.

A Lexington merchant, in conversation with the editor of Tho Gazetto a few days ago, rolated this intcresting remiuiscenco of Henry Clay: "Ireinenibor when a youth aud an enthusiastic Clay Whig of coming here during the cauvass of 1S44 from my homo in Harrodsburg, with tho Clay club of Morcer county, on whose banner was tho motto, 'We Aro Fow, but True,' to unito in the celebration hold that year in Lexington. The barbecue was given at the race track. Thoro a number of distinguished orators addressed tho multitude —among them Tom Corwiu, Juigo Ewing, probably Jamos C. Jones of Tennessee. But after this half century, that which I now remember most distinctly aud what most impressed me was this—that Mr. Clay did not go out to the grounds. Ho considered it beneath the dignity of a presidential candidate to electioneer. How well I remember seeing him, as the procession in whioh I walked passed his office (then with his son, James B. Clay, on Short street, near the engine house), standing in the doorway with his heel unoovered, and with the rare grace which few men possessed, bowing to the passing multitude that was wild with huzzas, banners and music."—Lexington Gazette.

Coffee.

Many persons who are unable to drink coffee that has been boiled or made by putting the coffee directly in boiling water and cooking at or above the boiling point for a certain number of minutes are able to drink without any disagreeable oonsequencoa either present or future coffee made by percolation—that is, by inclosing tho coffee in bag of some kind or in a wire gauze strainer and pouring the boiling water upon it. This method of coffee making should always be used in households where the members breakfast at different hours, and where only one pot of coffee is made. In France, where chieory is often added to the coffee, percolated or "drip" coffee that is quite strong is often made and tightly bottled or sealed so that its aroma cannot escape and kept in a cool place for several days. As it is wanted it is heated very hot and served with he milk, and, if ou want it absolutely pei feet, beat your cup al.-o. 1". iviatcd coffee is cons:.!:rod mr.ro :_.. :iiical than that boiled.—New York Post.

Illustrates a Phase «f Clericalism. One of the most famous of mediasral utterances is a enrions mixture of diabolical wit and savage fanaticism. It id told of the Papal Legate Milo, at the saokof Boziers, in the "crusade" against the Albigeois. History, or tradition, eays that when it was asked how it would be possible to distinguish the heretics in the town from the Catholios the legato cried out: "Kill them alll Qod will know his own." So the story goes. But did the legate ever say it? Or was it said by Arnold, the Cisteroian abbot? Did anybody say it? The only thing absolutely oertain is that, expressing, as it did, in the pithiest style, the spirit of mediseval fanaticism in religion, it might very well have been uttered by somebody.—London News.

Saw Him Fed.

Contrary to general belief, Munchausen is not dead, or he must live in the persons of some of the continental tourists you meet around the Metropole and the Victoria. They repeat this conversation of one of those enterprising but prevarioating end of the oentury explorers: "I visited Russia, Germany, Austria, Italy"— "Indeed! So you saw Venice?" "Well, I rather guess I did." "Did you see the lion of St. Mark?" "Of course I did. Why, I saw him fed. "—Washington Post.
