FASHION LETTER. Cotton Fabrics for Sommer Wear—Mora, tug* Walking and Driving Coe tomes. Etc.. Etc. [Special New York Correspondence.! Batiste, dimity, chambray Scotch and French ginghams, as delicate in tint and pattern as any of the beautiful summer silks; French lawn, tamboured and dotted Swiss muslins and organ* dies are among the list of greatly-fa-vored cotton fabrics to be in high fashion this summer. Some of these mate* rials are “revivals,” others are modern of make. Some are airy and fairydike, others more durable and suitable for morning wear in the country the season through. Many of the cottons, especially those that are to berlaundered, are made up without linings and

trimmed with ruffles of the same, and inexpensive but fine white, embroideries with insertions and edgings to match. The skirts have four breadths, a full one in the back, the other three gored to about half their width at the top. The skirt may be trimmed with ruffles or insertion and have no gored foundation skirt beneath; or, the two 6kirts may be joined in one bell at the top with most of the fullness in the back, but with slight gathers showing all around. A pretty addition to many of the gingham dresses is a large round linen lavrn collar trimmed with linen Donegal braid, with deep cuffs to match finishing the mutton-leg sleeves. These Bets are also worn with pink or blue linen waists, and ecru duck toilets. .Walking and driving costumes for the country are made of shot or checked hop sacking with shirt waist of fancy foulard or Chinese wash silk. These are really elegant variations of t]t^e still popular blazer suits. Summer tweeds in the fashionable shot effects are

made up with blazer or round waist front, fitted by darts, with flap-seams in the back, and fronts cut away to show a vest of soft wool plaid, in which thli cfolors of the tweed are repeated. The revers are faced with the plaid; the skirt clears the ground all around, and is gathered at the top, flaring out to measure a generous four yards at the bottom. Oddly crimped crepons are much used in tan and blue shades, which are brightened up with richScotch plaid ribbons or else the new ombre silks and rainbow satins with revers and cuffs of dark velvet. New bretelles instead of going down the back curve around the shoulders in a capecollar, an admirable fashion in wide guipure laces which are used in black, white and ecru on dressy summer gowns. The wearing of simple lace fichus and short capes shirred around the neck will be very general this summer. The adaption of the costly three-quarter capes elegantly trimmed is quite as much a question of carriage and figure.

as of time and place. The lovely whit elace capes are but rarely appropriate g a rments, for they demand the richest or the most delicate go w ns beneath their filmy folds, the m ost graceful figures, eorre spondin g1y elegant sur- } rounding^, and an occa1 sion of elaborate fash

^ ion. Ribbon ruches are smon? favored trimmings and the manufacturers have sent out wide aryl narrow varieties and mixed colors ready for the dressmakers’ and milling a hands. Lace ruches for trimming hats, gowns and capes are offered in many stores devoted to the sale of fancy goods, and greatly facilitate the work of best professional and amateur milliners. Pretty and quite inexpensive summer dancing toilets are mode of point

d’esprit net over waist linings and underskirt of batiste. Point d’esprit net is again in favor, as it has the popular pin dots and is used quite plain, with a full skirt finished with a deep hem and hung over a hell skirt of shot green and rose taffeta. The full round waist haa black lace ruffles over the shoulders and green velvet girdle and sleeve cuffs. A new sheer linen in pink, blue and ecru is made into lovely blouses trimmed either with finest designs in linen lace, or with buttonhole embroidered edges in dark green silk, on fronts, collars and sleeves. New marine blue outing dresses of hop sacking have the round skirt cut with a square apron breadth trimmed' up each side with a row of wide black braid edged with gilt. Back of this the entire skirt falls in kilt plaits. The shirt waist is of white and blue foulard with short jacket above of the sacking edged on the flaring revers with the braid. C. D. F.

MAN LOVES ORDER. However. It Must Be of His Own Special o. Braid. “Oh, men are such aggravating things,” said a young matron to me recently. “It’s no use trying to make any dainty or delicate points with them! “You must use an ax or a whitewash brush, if you expect any appreciation.” “Why, what has happened,” I queried. “Has your husband forgotten your birthday, or the baby's birthday, or, more likely than all, the anniversary of your wedding?” “Dear me, no. That would not affect me much. He very seldom remembers that. “I’ll give him my little souvenir of the occasion, and he'll look at first surprised, and then ashamed, and when he goes down-town he'll send me home something very handsome, which I ■won’t appreciate at all under the circumstances.” “Well, what is the matter?” “Oh, it’s so trifling it seems absurd to mention it. “But yesterday morning I went to his big bureau which he has all to himself, and, taking a chair, I spent a good hour arranging everything nicely. “His socks, gloves, suspenders—by yie way. there’s a mysterious pair with a monogram on them, which he certainly never bought—all his collars, cuffs,ties and the like 1 arranged neatly aid systematically, and then I placed a very delicately scented sachet in the drawer, and felt well pleased with myself. “Do you think that he noticed it? “Not a bit of it! “He wanted a handkerchief, and he rushed there in his usual impulsive passion, yanked open the drawer, tossed things around like a wild bull, and then shouted: “ ‘I wonder why I can never have things like any other man!’ “ ‘What’s the matter, dear?’ “ ‘Oh nothing. 1 simply want a clean handkerchief, and there a,re none, of course. ’ “The ‘of course’ was too much for me. “I went to the bureau and showed him seventeen clean handkerchiefs. “But you ought to have seen that drawer. “It looked as if an earthquake had struck it. I felt so badly about the whole affair that I didn’t eat any dinner, and he doesn't know yet what the matter was. “Yes, I’m silly, I know, and I’ll get ■o I won’t care in time, I suppose, but I shall hate to have that time come.”—N. Y. Recorder.

Prayer Before Action. During one of the numerous wan. waged by France two centuries ago a strange scene took place near Saluzzo, a disputed outpost, which well illustrates the religious spirit whieh often prevailed among the soldiers of earlier times. The French approached the besiegers’ lines, and both armies were arranged for fight. The sun shone from a cloudless sky; every detail on each array in the field was visible to the other, and both were beheld at once from the citadel. There were three French marshals present, and it was Schomberg’s turn to command. He drew up his twenty thousand men in four lines, with skirmishers in front, and the regular cavalry were placed at {dated intervals, ready to charge. In this impressive order. and in absolute silence, the French advanced until nearly within canuon shot, when, at a signal, the mass halted and simultaneously knelt down to pray. Then followed the order to attack, which was silently and cheerfully obeyed. The battle was not to be. however, for Mazarffi, amid a volley of musketry, suddenly appeared, rode at a gallop between the armies, and stayed the incipient fight by bringing acceptable terms of peace.—Youth’s Companion. A Substitute. “Ah. old fellow, glad to see you back again! How did you enjoy your trip to the Orient?” “I didn’t go any farther east than Mauch Chunk, Pa.” “Then you didn’t go to Turkej, as you intended?” “Didn’t intend to go.” “But you certainly wrote me that you were about to start for Constantinople?1” “I know I did. but that was because I couldn’t spell Mauch Chunk, pverybqdy learns how to spell Constantinople at school.”—National Tribune.

Sleeves of the Period. The girl with the higgest wings of all on her sleeves stood waiting in the hall. She’ jumped a little, and stepped forward with a shudder. “I’m always doing that lately, sinSe I began wearing these big things on my shoulders,” she said, half apologetically and half laughing. “I keep- thinking there’s somebody stepping up to speak to me, and when I look over my shoulder—so—and see there’s nobody I feel almost as if a ghost had tapped, my elbow.”—Boston Transcript A Tkaue Secret—He w to get the best «f the other feltow.—Truth.

AFTER THE WARS. David McCot, of California, said to be one hundred and three years of age, is the oldest war veteran in the country. A. H. Newman, of Catasauqua, Pa., has in his possession the first shell that was thrown into Chambersburg by the rebels on the morning of June 30, 1864. Dr. Edward Thomas, of Vienna, possesses several interesting relics of Washington, among which are two army pistols presented by the general to Kosciusko, his Polish aid. Gen. Sm James Dormer, commander in chief in Madras, has died from the effects of injuries he received while tiger shooting. He saw much active service, having been through the Crimean war, the Indian mutiny and the expedition to China. There is a gun in. the British navy, a twenty-two-ton Armstrong, which hurls a solid shot a distance of twelve miles, the highest point in the arc described by the shot being seventeen thousand feet above the earth’s surface. The discharge of the gun can* not be heard at the place where the ball strikes. ' '

A CORNER FOR ARTISTS. The emperor of Germany has artistic tastes, and has lately painted a picture of a ship sailing the high seas. The Mary Washington association has contracted for the erection of a monument worth elevenfthonsand dollars over the grave of Mary, the mother of George Washington, at Fredericksburg, Va. The Danes of Chicago are having prepared, as their gift to the city, a fine statue of Hans Christian Andersen in bronze. The story teller is representedtsitting on a stump, with a book on his knee and a pencil in his hand. The work is fine and the likeness excellent. Marcus Benoit., the French artist, whose cat pictures have made him famous and rich, is said to have been so poor only eight years ago that it was only through the entrance of a homeless kitten to his garret that he was one night prevented from destroying himself. He painted a picture of it, and from that time his fortune was assured. AMONG THE* TREES. A peak tree which is said to have been planted in 1630 still bears fruit on a farm near Danvers, Mass. In Middle Smithfield, Pa., there is a chestnut tree the trunk of which measures nineteen feet, in circumference, breast high. Chehaus county, Wash., has thirty million feet of standing timber, the largest amount of any county in that heavily-timbered state. In sawing a log at Beaver Dam mills, in Burke county, Ga., a snake was found in a knot-hole which, when the tree was standing, was fifty/two feet from the ground. A white oak was lately cut near Shenandoah Junction, W. Va., which made three logs whose continuous length was thirty-six feet, the diameter of the largest one at the butt being seventy inches, while the smallest end of the smallest log measured forty-two inches across. ■ OLD AND RARE. A SUGAR dish owned by Mrs. I. K. Smith, of Boswell, Ga., has been in use by her family for over 100 years. The remains of a mammoth mastodon were unearthed by workmen while working in a tunnel near Pomona, Cal., a short time ago. An old coin bearing the date of 1738 was plowed up by a Mr. Wade, of Boone county, Mo. The inscription is almost undecipherable, but it probably came from a Spanish mint. Judge Pennypacker has presented to the Clover club of Philadelphia a sheet of paper made at the Rittenhouse paper mill on the Wissahickon in 1690, the earliest in America. In watermark, seen in the center, is/the first symbolic use of the clover leaf in this country. _j THROUGH ORIENTAL LaNDS. China has many stone bridges 3,000 years old. There are at present about 43,000 Hebrews in Jerusalem. A census taken in 1801 places the population of India *■. 2S7,000>;00.

—St Peter's Episcopal church, in Albany, N. Y., has a silver communion service one hundred and seventy-eight years old which is a companion set to that held for the descendants of the Mohawks by a certain clergyman in Canada. It seems that Queen Anne sent two services over, one for the Mohawks then living in the New York cafainy and the other for St Peter's, Albany. The Mohawk service followed the Indians into exile, and has been carefully preserved by the persons to whom it, has been intrusted by the council of chiefs from time to time. —White Sugar Cookies: Mix two cups of sugar, one eup of butter, three eggs beaten to a froth, one-half a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in five tablespoonfuls of sour or sweet milk, flour to roll, flavor and salt to taste.—Farm and Fireside.

Wide Awake for June is a brilliant and beautiful summer number. It opens with a quaint and delightful Shaksperean pastoral, “Will O’ Stratford,” by Anna Robeson Brown, charmingly illustrated by Cox. Kate Rohrer Cain’s illustrated poem, “The Men in Lincoln Green,” is almost a pendant to this English idyl. Marietta Ambrosi tells how Spanish children play at bull-fighting; Susan Coolidge has a stirring poem of the Danish heromyth, “Holger Danske;” Elton Craig has a marvel-story, “The Wizard’s Palace;” Louise Coffin Jones gives a timely sketch of her thrilling experiences as a “Schoolma'am in Hawaii;” Captain Julius A. Palmer gives in Wide Atcake AthUtu-s certain valuable “Hints for Yachtsmen;” Oscar Fay Adams contributes as the first of his illustrated series on “0«r Englls/t Homes" a paper on Worcester; Richmond O. North has advice for boy tourists whoare "Going to Europe.” The serial stories by W. O. Stoddard and Theodora R. Jenness are striking and absorbing. Price 20 cents a number, 52.40 ayedr.

Caution to Customers. Nothing of original or superior merit but has its imitations and counterfeits, even to impenliug the health of communities. For this reason the proprietors of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters caution their patrons to scrutinize every bottle offered (and it is sold only in bottles) and verify its many marks of genuineness. A sufficient warning to those meditating fraud can be found in the unbroken line of judicial decisions, exposing and severely punishing every one detected in counterfeiting the Bitters, and the redoubled efforts that are being made to protect the public from the deception of these unprincipled pirates. Remember the Bitters is sold in bottles only, never hy the gallon or in buCk. “Do toc believe the rain falls alike on the just and the unjust?” “Nixie!

b A Matter of Health II' costs more to make Royal Baking Powder than any other, because its ingredients are more highly refined and expensive. But the Royal is correspondingly purer and higher in leavening strength, and of greater money value to the consumer. The difference in cost of Royal over the best of the others does not equal the difference in leavening strength, nor make good the inferior work of the cheaper powders, nor remove the impurities which such powders leave in the food. Where the finest food is required, the Royal Baking Powder only can be used. Where the question of health is considered, no baking powder but Royal can be used with safety All others are shown by official analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum. < * <» ( - < * < * <> < > <> i* < ► <> < *• < *• < ► <* <*■ <» <» <> < ► < ► < »■ <> < > < * <1

—The rice crop of the United States is now practically in sight, and the following estimates are given out: Louisiana will fractionally exceed 7,500,000 bushels; Carolina, inclusive of the Carolinas and Georgia, 2,000,000 bushels; scattering in other states, 250,000; total. 9,750,000 bushels, a rough equal, say, to 255,000,000 pounds of cleaned or edible rice, of which 130,000,000 pounds have been marketed. The crop is 60 per cent, greater than any previous one, and over two and a half tiines an average rice crop before the war.
