Bonnets and Hats.

The latest Importations of French millinery are large bonnets with flat crowns and wide brims. These bonnets are worn far back on the head, and the brim is covered by a full wreath of flowers, not merely a branch or a vine but an entire wreath, the ends of which meet together behind. This style is very handsome for white chip bonnets that are trimmed with black —mixed velvet and gros grain—and fine white flowers. No color is as much used by stylish milliners as rich creamy white silk, and we are rapidly returning to the pure white bonnets of seven years ago; a great many black bonnets are still used, but the preference evidently is for light colt ors, and, with leaden of fashion; for white bonnets. Black bonnets are no longer entirely black but are brightened up by bows, scarfs and pipings of creamy white gros grain or else by the deep scarlet hues now so much in vogue, either in silk or in flowers; the few black bonnets that have no relief of color have very finely-cut jet leaves and bands on the coronet brim to give luster to the dull, rich gros grain of which they are made. A braid of silver around the edge of French bonnets is not objected to by the most fastidious tastes, but the heavy filagree ornaments have a tawdry look. The band of chip of contrasting color used as a border on hat brims has become very popular and is seen at the best houses. Damask ribbons are not liked as well as the less showy twilled ribbons, yet they are chosen to wear with costumes made partly of damask silk and partly of gros grain. Very few feathers are seen on bonnets, though round hats are still trimmed with them; even those designed for midsummer have wings and plumes. The profusion of-flowers increases until the material of the bonnet is almost concealed by them. Two long’sprays of flowers hanging from the back down to the waist are = worn on young ladies’ bonnets. The Derby hat already described is the round hat sent out by the best Parisian milliners. This has an ample high round crown with sufficient brim to shade the eyes well. This brim does not come tu a point on the forehead, but is wide above the brow, and is rolled back from the edge all around. Black, brown and white chip Derby hats are imported. i The first black one sent out by a 'fashionable French milliner has a black satin cord on the edge of the brim and black velvet laid smoothly on top of the brim where it rolls. A scarf of cream-colored gros grain and another of black velvet are twisted together around the crown. A long cream-colored ostrich feather starts from the front and sweeps over the crown, and a sharp black wing is stuck in the front slightly toward the left side. White chip Derby hats are similarly trimmed with black velvet and white gros grain and black and white ostrich feathpre. The roll on the edge of the brim is not merely a binding of velvet, Ijpt seems to be a thick piping cord; it is set on for ornament, and the fine braid of the brim is not concealed by facings; sometimes another cord or a piping of velvet or of gros grain is inserted in the braid half an inch from the edge of the brim. A stylish White Derby has mignonette green velvet and plumes for trimming; another of pearl-colored chip has bottle green velvet for trimming, and a long Mercutio plume of pearl gray Brown chip hats have scarfs with long streamers of brown gros grain pinked on the edges, With wings and plumes of cream-color and brown. Garden hats are Marie Antoinette flats of Leghorn braid or of chip, with very wide, flat brim, of equal width all around, but curved to droop in front and back. Those of Leghorn are trimmed, with black velvet and ostrich plumes, either black or white, or perhaps both together. Black chip flats have full ruches of pink gros-grain around the brim and under it, and sometimes there, are wreaths of small flowers mingled with the ruches. The sailor hat will return to favor when the warm days come. It is the most girlish of all the shapes and most generally becoming to round young faces. Those of brown, black or white split straw are trimmed with wide gros grain ribbon, either blue, black or brown, and fastened by silver filigree buckles. The English walking hat, the Derby, and the new toque with drooping front and turned up back are all worn. The most coquettish hats are those with flaring brims caught up on one side by a rose. Full wreaths and clusters of flowers inside the brim give a mature look to young faces.—-Harper's Bazar.

Family Necessities.

In these times when money is scarce, trade is depressed and values are inflated, it is cheering to ffie that a few of the actual necessities of life can still be purchased at reasonable figures. The price-list of wild animals has just been issued and received in this city. It is very gratifying, at a time when people feel obliged to economize, to learn that many of the most desirable and useful beasts and reptiles are lower. You can get a sound lion now for from $1,500 to $2,000. Lions are down. A great many people during the past hard winter have been compelled to deprive themselves of lions on account of their high price. Some families, not accustomed to habits of self-denial, it is true paid the largest figures rather than be without lions, but the majority have been obliged to wait until the Hon market was easier. But the prices which now prevail leave no excuse for the man who would suitably provide for the comfort of his family. With lions at such cheap rates scarcely a householder need be without one. The father who would deny his home-circle the pleasures of a lion now would make his wife take in washing and his children strip tobacco. Every one will be glad to know that elephants are easier. They are quoted frem $2,000 to $6,000, according to size. A neat, reliable elephant, suitable for a cottage-house and a small family, can be obtained for the inside figures. The largest ones, appropriate for the spacious drawing-rooms of Calumet avenue palaces, of course, are much higher. But from the wide range of prices everybody will be able to select a very good style of elephant at a cost within his means.

I^.ll ,<1 i»i I.n. J lIJTI. .. . ,1.1.,.. As the public become aware of the fact that they are no longer held at exorbitant figures elephants will be restored to their proper place in the domestic circle. No one who makes any pretensions to wealth or social distinction will hereafter incur the taunts and sneers of fashionable neighbors by being without one. A single elephant will do very well for a family of ordinary size and means. The proud and affluent, however, will indulge in more. A good parlor camel can be obtained for a mere song. The best ones can be purchased for S6OO. This fact will make them unpopular among the affluent classes, who will not look with favor upon anything cheap; whatever may be its intrinsic merits. Tne camel has his good points, but he is erratic about his meals, and is said to be an intractable pet, as he gets his back up with no apparent reason. But the cheapness of camels will always recommend them to the humbler classes.

We are disappointed in giraffes. They are still very high. We had hoped, in common with thousands of others, that these important essentials to the happiness of every home would be furnished this season at more reasonable rates. It is hard to do without one’s giraffe. ’ It is painful to pay SB,OOO for such an actual necessity during these hard times. The result of this high rate will be that people, especially the poor, will retain their last year’s giraffes, and, consequently, the suffering will be much less than at first might be supposed. But if giraffes are high we find an agreeable recompense in the next item — anacondas. These fashionable and popular reptiles are much easier. The fears that were entertained during the winter that the great demand for anacondas would cause a marked advance in their price have proved groundless. They are lower than ever before. A handsome, trustworthy anaconda can be purchased for SSOO. This is by the single serpent, mind you. Families who desire a dozen or more, in all probability, can supply themselves at more favorable rates. There certainly need be no cause for grumbling this year at the price of anacondas. People who have been borrowing trouble about the anaconda market may now rest easy. It is quite probable that larger orders than usual will be the rule, in anticipation of an advance. It is not safe to assume that anacondas will remain long at the present low figures. Leopards are very reasonable, being quoted at SSOO, while bears —a home commodity—are rated at $1,200. The latter figure seems high, but it must be remembered that Custer’s and other expeditions to the Black Hills have made bears scarce. People who have been greatly annoyed at the discovery of the povery which the want of a rhinoceros betrays, and have determined this year to be on a par with their more stylish neighbors in this respect, will be pleased to know that rhinoceroses are quite reasonable. A very good one can be purchased for $5,000, and the most elegant and stylish can be had for SIO,OOO. This will bring them within the reach of almost everybody. A person who would complain at these rates would walk a mile to ride in a three-cent stage and would try to beat down on the price of a paper collar. There is one item on the list which will cause astonishment, and cast a shadow upon many happy hearthstones. “ Hippopotamuses, $12,000 to $15,000.” This is a' cruel, heartless extortion. Everybody requires a hippopotamus. A person may go hungry, and sleep in a hard bed, but he will not willingly deny his wife and family the comfort of a hippopotamus. Even the poor and lowly cannot be without one. What is home without a hippopotamus? There is no good reason in this advance of one of the necessities of life. No information has been received of a short crop of hippopotamuses. It looks very much as if this rise in price was the result of a ring, a diabolical combination formed to put up the cost in the face of a great demand. If this is so, the base, infamous scheme should be at once exposed. . If there is a hippopotamus corner the people should know it, and the sooner the better; and the fiendish manipulators who would ruthlessly deprive the poor man of his hippopotamus should be held up to public execration and contempt.— Chicago Tribune.

An Efficient Grasshopper Trap.

Yesterday morning, says the Leavenworth Commercial, as we were strolling through South Leavenworth, our attention was drawn to a novel way for disposing of the grasshopper question and one which is apparently a success. The plan, or whatever it might be called, is worked by Mr. J. Rivard, a leading grape raiser of this locality. He observes that the grasshoppers congregated along the fences under the weeds and rubbish ac cumulated there, from which place they sally out to seek what they may devour he has accordingly dug a ditch all along the inside of his fence, about eighteen inches wide by about twelve inches deep, and placed about three feet inside of the fence. In the bottom of the ditch, at a distance of twenty feet apart, are placed boxes, whose top is on a level with the bottom of the ditch, and each box is partly filled with strong limewater. The grasshoppers, in traveling, attempt to cross the ditch, and, instead, they fall into it. Mr. Rivard says that where any succeed in crossing they always turn and jump back into the ditch when they find themselves alone. When they are once in the ditch he drives them into the boxes of lime water, and they are instantly killed. Mr. Rivard says he tried the same plan several years ago, and he succeeded to such an extent that no injury was done him by the pests, while his adjoining neighbors, who laughed at him, had everything destroyed. This plan is simple and cheap, and if successfully tried will aid in solving the much-vexed grasshopper question. i “ Wife, I don’t see, for my part, how they send letters on them ’ere wires without tearin’ ’em all to bits.” “JJa, me I they don’t send the paper, they just send the writing in a fluid state.” —Philadelphia brags of having the most cleanly servant girls.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Rsincn Heart op Beef.—Put the heart into warm water to soak for two, hours, then wipe it well with a cloth, and after cutting off the lobes fill the inside with a stuffing made of finely-cßopped cold beef or veal, or bread crumbswell seasoned with salt, pepper and Savory herbs; fasten it in by means of a needle and coarse thread, put it in a baking dish with a little water in a moderate oven, keep well basted with beef dripping, bake for two hours and serve with a good gravy and red currant jelly. An English journal, in reply to an inquiry, says: “ Canaries are made highcolored with the free use of cayenne pepper in their food. Some breeders mix it with egg and biseuji; others use it in a cake, with Which they freely feed tite birds during the whole of the molting period. To one egg, when hard boiled and chopped fine (or it' may be more effectually done by pressing through a slave), add two teaspoonfuls of cayenne, pure, and mixed well together. Then add one small biscuit, reduced to a powder. Mix the three ingredients together and supply your (say some half-dozen) birds with the diet two or three times daily. No green food during the molt. The more of the pepper food the birds partake of and the less of seeds the deeper the color of the plumage will be. You need not fear your birds feeding upon the above food. Commence with the pepper diet. when the young have attained the age of six weeks. There will be no necessity to put the whole of the young birds upon the cayenne diet. Select for the purpose the boldest and most likely-looking cock birds. Young canaries bred from pepperfed birds will not be high-colored in first or nest feathers. To make them highcolored they must be molted upon cayenne.” * Javelle Water.—Take two pounds washing soda and two pounds chloride of lime, place them in a hot stone jar and pour over them two gallons boiling water, then place over it a thick cloth and a board with a stone upon it. Let it stand twenty-four hours, stirring two or three times. When quite clear strain it through bed-ticking on thick flannel, rinsing out immediately to save the cloth. Then bottle close for future use. It is excellent to remove fruit and vegetable stains and perhaps some others, but avails nothing with ink and iron rust. It is intensely alkaline and therefore it affects acids principally. A half-pint in three or four pails of boiling water will whiten tablecloths beautifully. Any small article that is to be thoroughly treated should be washed and' boiled first, then it may be dipped In the javelle water, let It stand three or four minutes, watching it very closely and removing it the moment the stains disappear. If there is yet a faint outline of the stain that will often come out in the subsequent treatment. Do not let the fabric be in more than two minutes, as there is risk of disorganizing it Then throw it into the hot water, let it stand a few minutes, rinse thoroughly in two or three waters and hang to dry in the sun. Do not let a drop of it fall upon colored cloth, and if it falls upon any dry clotlj wash out immediately or it may eat a hole. Do not keep the hands in it long, say half an hour, or it will remove the cuticle.— lnter-Ocean.

Mending Harness.

A “ stitch in time” in the harness at this season will probably save considerably more than the proverbial “nine” when the busy season commences. To mend harness the first thing needed is a clamp for holding it. A very good clamp may be made of a stave of a flour barrel cutin two in the middle. A small block with two sides beveled is fixed on the top of a larger block and the staves are screwed firmly to it. Screws are to be preferred to nails, which would be liable to split the staves. The upper end of each stave is smoothed and beveled so as to take an even and firm hold of the leather when it is slipped between them. Fine copper wire is a better material with which to mend harness than thread, and is much more convenient in use. A roll of this wire should be kept on hand. Rivets and burrs should be used for splicing traces or heavy parts of the harness. A few of these with a punch and a light tack-hammer for clenching the rivets should form part of the tools, and a straight awl should be procured for making holes in the leather when the original holes have become filled up or worn so as to be useless. A seat may be made by fixing two legs to a piece of board about two feet long; the other end will then rest upon the larger block when it is in use. When not in use it may be hung up oh the wall of the tool-house by a hole in the end. Such a harness-mend-ing apparatus, in lack of a more costly “ kit” of taels, ought to be kept in every farm workshop. A strap may be mended in two or three minutes for one cent that would cost ten cents at the harnessmaker’s, and the loss of time.— American Agriculturist.

The Potato Bug.

A correspondent of the Live Stock Record says: The following remedy for preventing the .ravages of the much-dreaded potato bug is not only a cheap and simple one, but one which may be made very profitable to the farmer; and if true (though obtained from a source which I cannot doubt) is a discovery the value of which can scarcely be estimated. Your correspondent, while on a recent visit to Woodford, heard two prominent farmers of that county discussing the subject. They held that in planting Irish potatoes if every third row was left until the danger from frost had passed, and then planted in hemp, that no bugs, neither the terrapin-shaped Colorado or that species with long, striped backs, resembling the Spanish fly, would disturb a vine in the patch. The gentlemen did not profess to know or give any scientific explanation of the fact; but theirs was that the bugs had such an antipathy to the hemp or its peculiar odor that they would not live in its vicinity. They were convinced of the fact from the experience of several of their neighbors last year. It is a fact knqgu to gardeners and watermelon raiser” that a

plant set in a watermelon hill until the sprouts begin to vine will effectually prevent their being molested by bugs, and if, on sufficient trial, it is proven that hemp is as great a protector to the potato as it is thought by some to be, the discovery will indeed be a boon, not only to every agriculturist, but to the thousands of poor whose principal vegetable is the Irish potato.

Milk as an Economical Article of Food.

Milk as a nutritive article of diet is generally under-estimated. Its economic value as compared with other articles of animal food has been given by Dr. Wiggins, of Providence, and is often quoted to show that it should enter into more general consumption among those of limited means; while its healthfulness and adaptation to the general taste should recommend its extensive use among all classes. As to its economy Dr. Wiggins remarks that the quantity of water in good milk is 86 to 87 per cent., while round steak contains 75 per cent.; in fatter beef there is 60 per cent, and in eggs about 68-per cent. His deductions, from recent analyses of animal foods as compared with milk, are that sirloin steak (recovering loss from bone) at thirty-five cents per pound is as dear as milk At twentyfour cents, a quart; round steak at twenty cents a pound as dear as milk at fourteen cents a quart; eggs at thirty cents a dozen as dear as milk at twenty cents a quart and corned beef at seventeen cents as dear as milk at fifteen cents. It must be inferred, therefore, that milk at six to eight cents per quart is the cheapest animal food that can be used. But granting that all this may be true there are some important considerations that seem to be overlooked in urging the substitution of milk for other kinds of food. One of which is that all foods of equal nutrition are not relished alike, and that the natural appetite must to some extent at least be gratified in order to secure the proper digestion and assimilation of foods. Thus we have certain kinds of food that, m the common phrase, “ set well on the stomach” of some, while they disagree with others. You cannot always dictate to- the stomach what is best adapted to it, for it has its likes and dislikes, which cannot be set aside without serious trouble. It is known by experience that milk does not agree with all persons. In some it produces headache and feverish symptoms, in others gives rise to biliousness, while with another class of persons milk is highly relished and promotes the highest health when used in a judicious manner with brea<f, oat-meal or other farinaceous food. The reason why milk should be used in connection with farinaceous foods is thus explained by a writer in a magazine. He says: “ Milk, after being taken into the stomachy is converted almost into a solid curd by the heat and the acid given off by that organ combining with potash and the soda which the milk contained and which was necessary to keep it in a state.of solution. The watery portion being separated and absorbed, the gastric juice finds it diffi cult to penetrate and break down the remaining curd, which now acts as a crude and indigestible substance in the stomach, giving rise by reflex action to headache, and by its Irritating presence, interfering with the digestion of other substances that may be going on. In consequence the contents pass out of the stomach in an imperfect-ly-digested condition, and in their subsequent course through the system are not properly assimilated; and on arriving at the liver clog that great strainer of the blood. The bile not being properly poured gut of this organ the blood in passing through it becomes impregnated with bilious matter, which is carried on through the round of the circulation, showing its effect in the yellow tinge of the eyes and skin and occasioning those general unpleasant symptoms comprehended under the term of biliousness.” There is no doubt milk can be employed as a healthful and economical article of food for most people, when cooked with rice and eggs or in various kinds of puddings, bread toasts, or eaten with bread or bat-meal properly prepared. In this waff it can be better substituted for other animal food than to use it as a drink. MTlk is a very nutritious article of diet, but many need to know in what way it should be employed so as not to derange health.— Rural New Yorker.

AI ii il iMHiw S Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains otCalifornia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the uso of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, “What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Bitters!” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease mau is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Alterative. and Anti-Bilious. Grateftil Thousands-proclaim V nckgar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, ana vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the darkcolored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Fam in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Tasto in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitatation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guaraiiteo of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of Sore Eyois etc. In these, as in all other .constitutional Diseases, Walker’s Vixegar BirrkßH have shown their great curative powers in tha most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. —Persons engaged in Paints and Minerals, such ac Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance-in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels, To guard against this, take a dose of Walker’s Vinegar Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruption®, Tetter, Sal6Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Ptastnles, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations if the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the uei of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and remoVed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. /. r For Female Complaints, iu young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Soros; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. r. h. McDonald a co.. Druggists and Gen. Agts., San Francisco, Cali font in, and cor. of Washington and Charlton Ste., N. V.
