“That 13 .ms! what it is, condensed

the opl iue glory without the co‘or and
the suiftinglight. It is tln~ cold, pale
brdlancy of moonshine, and has nc'zcr

The stone was set in a lady‘s brow h,
of small oval sire. Th‘ faces. of two
children were carved in the moonstone,
which w s surrounded by a circle of

Then he would'evamine all his pockets

The kind of tubers to use for seed ‘0‘
tatoes is discussed by a correspondent of
the New York Tribune, who says that
p.1ssibly a large crop of finc‘sized pots.-
toes may be grown from small tubers in}
rich; mellowsoil. but the principle is all
wrong.~ The potato is n subtcrmm‘ons
branch, with buds analogous to those
above ground. and on this account some
writers argue that the matter of size is uu~
important. livery rightunindcd nursery-

by the transmission of diseases which or.

the means of seeds. Th.- potato cutting,

The manner in which the velvet or
plush covering the crowns of turbans and
bonuets is made to rise in conical loose
masses in front is a novel feature in full
millinery. . ‘
No one dresses the hair low on the
back of the head or nope of the neck at
present. Even pld ladies wear high top
knots. But the" view from the back is
frightful for all that.
Black and white are worn fashionably
in trimming dressy hats and bonnets,the
white berm in small proportion and in
the form of feathers or ribbon or lace,
the black velvet, plush, lace and jet.
There is a revolt against small birds
and feathers of the same for milling-y
ornaments among those ladies who wish
to put a stop to the slaughter of the for-
est birds of America, and the whole
world. ‘
There is nothing absolute at present
in the manner oflmaking dresses. Some
bodiccs have collars so high that the neck
seems held in a vice, while others dis-
play the throat and ptrt of the neck.
There is some suggestive of an unfinished
toilet in the latter style, unsoftcned by
a scrap of tulle or lace. It. is trying in
the'cxtreme, and will probably not find
favor. .7
