The newest lace is the Oriental.
Fancy buckles are worn with belts.
Belts are worn with street costumes.
Drees trains grow longer and longer.
A favorite dark shade is lees of
wine.
B<»x-pleated corsages are coming in
vogue.
Colored silk torchon is one of the
laces.
Bird of Paradise plumes will be
much worn.
Marine blue and dark maroon are
fashionable.
Prune and puce are fashionable Au

Bronze brown and bronze green are
leading colors.
Pleated and gathered Corsages are
coming in vogue.
Short skirts are being made of tur
quoise blue flannel.
Colored Smyrna and guipure laces
are coming in fashion.
Moonlight be ids is another name
for clair de la lune jet.
Narrow gathered bias ruffles adorn
dress skirts this Fall.
The neck of new dresses open en
chale or Pompadour.
Lace bonnet strings and lace scarfs
are no longer fashionable.
A great many ribbon bows are seen
on all the new costumes.
Basques, tunics and polonaises are
all worn, but the shapes are new.
The Serbian is the costume destined
to take the place of the Breton.
The Avalon is a pretty, modest,
elosed-brimmed bonnet for Fall wear.
For evening toilets the double train
has been introduced with effect.
The new fringes combine crimped
braid, silk, and clair de la lune jet.
The new bonnets have coronet brims
and elaborately puffed cap crowns.
Satin is to be revived and will be used
as a trimming for almost everything.
The newest straw and felt hats are
the Helmet, Vesta, Aslley, Vera and
Rival.
Clair de lune galloon is a silk or mo
hair braid dotted with steel-white
heads.
Coarse straw bonnets trimmed with
satin and wild flowers or fruit will be
the style for early Autumn.
Very rough fabrics will be used for
outside garments this Fall. They will
be made long and close-fitting.
The Autumn buntings are quite an
improvement on the Summer bunt
ings. This fashion of goods will be
much worn.
Out-side pockets are going out.
Now the pocket is sewed into the side
seam of the overskirt or polonaise, and
a fancy lapel placed to mark the spot.
In contradistinction to the popular
and much worn Breton suit, we now
have dresses a la inilitarie. They are
extremely stylish and decidedly new.
Bridal chejnhettes and night robes
are now made of open lace work, held
together in front by delicate bows of
lace, at intervals of a few inches from
the throat.
In ear-rings there are arrows of gold
with the diamond set above the cen
ter, the diamond on a screw which
passes through the ear, and the arrow
is thus held in place.
The princess form, with no upper
drapery, demi or full trained, will be
used for house dresses this season, the
pale hued cashmeres being extremely
popular for morning wear.
Large square collars with frills of
lace are worn with colored percale
dresses; they also are accompanied by
the tight fitting cuff half way up to
the elliow and edged with lace.
Double and treble capes, made round
and reaching to the shoulder, are worn
with the long untrimmed sleeve of the
directoire dress. These capes fasten
in front and are high at the throat.
A new bouquet holder is a gold shaft,
at the end of which is a tulip, which
opens its leaves and discloses a tiny
watch. The bouquet slides into the
shaft and the tulip stands as the cen
tral flower.

More watches are spoilt by irregular
and hasty winding up than by most
other causes. The operation should, if
possible, be performed regularly, and
always with a steady and uniform mo
tion, not moving both hands, and near
ly as practicable at the same hour dai
ly. A watch should always be kept at
the same temperature; left over night

pocket. The requisites of a good watch
are that the case, whether of gold or
silver, should be correctly made and of
fair thickness, the hinges close and
smooth, the glass well-fitted, the dial
of clear, bright enamel, the second
sunk, and the whole of good weight
when held in the hand. When, too,
the dome is opened, the brass-work
should look well-finished, the edges
smooth off, the steel of a diamond like
polish, and the jewels pale in color,
but of a fine, clear luster.
I found fault, some time ago, with
Maria Ann’s custard pie, and tried to
tell her how my mother made custard
pie. Maria made the pie after my re
ceipt. It lasted longer than any pie
we ever had. Maria set it on the ta
ble every day for dinner, and you see I
could not eat it because I forgot to tell
her to put in any eggs or shortening.
It was economical, but in a fit of gen
erosity I stole it from the pantry and
gave it to a poor little boy in the neigh
borhood. The boy’s funeral was large
ly attended by his former playmates.
I did not go myself.
.
Then there were the buckwheat
cakes. I told Maria Ann any fool
could beat her making those cakes, and
she said I had better try it. So I did.
I emptied the batter all out of the pitch
er one evening, and set the cakes my
self. I got the flour, and salt, and wa
ter, and, warned by the past, put in a
liberal supply of eggs and shortening.
I shortened with tallow from roast
beef, because I could not find any lard.
The batter did not look right, and I lit
my pipe and pondered. “Yeast! Yeast
to he sure!” I had forgotten the yeast.
I went ami woke up the baker, and got
six cents’ worth of yeast. I set the
pitcher behind the sitting-room stove,
and went to bed. In the morning I
got up early, and prepared to enjoy my
triumph; but I didn’t. That yeast was
strong enough to raise tho dead, and
the batter was running all over the
carpet. I scraped it up and put it in
another dish. Then I got a fire in the
kitchen, and put on the griddle. The
first lot stuck to thegriddlo. The sec
ond lot dittoed, only more so. Maria
came down and asked what was burn
ing. She advised me to grease the
griddle I did it. One end of the
griddle got too hot, and I dropped the
thing on my tenderest corn while try
ing to turn it around. Finally the
cakes were ready for breakfast, and
Maria got the other things ready. We
sat down. My cakes did not have the
right flavor. I took one mouthful, and
it satisfied me; I lost my appetite at
once. Maria would not let me put one
on her plate. I think those cakes may
be reckoned as a dead loss. The cat
would not eat them. The dog ran off
and staged three days after one was
offered him. Tho hens won’t come
within ten feet of them. I threw them
into the hack yard, and there has not
been a pig on the premises since. I
eat what is put before me now*, and
never allude to my mother’s system
of cooking anymore.

eral Scobeloff is a character—one of the
most striking men I ever have met;
ho is the son of Lieutenant-General
Scobeloff, of the army, and has been
in every campaign the Russians have
had since he was old enough to euter
the field. In Khokand, where every
thing was considered in a critical state,
young Scobeloff was left to cover the
rear of the army with five battalions
and twenty guns. Ilis elders in rank
and years had selected him to bear the
disgrace of the expected catastrophe;
hut he did not fan *y the situation of af
fairs, attacked the enemy (numbering
forty battalions) in the night, threw
into a panic and utterly routed them,
remaining master of the province.
For this he was made a major-general
at thirty-one and became the object of
much envy and calumny at the hands of
the officers whose heads he bad passed
over. At the recent battle of Plevna
he had his brigade of Cossacks and a
battalion of infantry, the latter number
ing about 700 men. Three hundred
and forty of this battalion fell in the
desperate contest, 170 of them being
killed outright; unsupported the rem
nant were compelled to fall back, hut
they retreated in good order, bringing
away all the wounded, and actually
left the deadly line of battle singing
one of their wild but very melodious
mountain airs. A major-general, thir
ty-three years of age, tall and hand
some, Scobeloff is the ideal of a beau
sabreur of the old Murat type. Bravo
almost to recklessness, yet possessing
a certain shrewd aptitude for estimat
ing chances and the strength of posi
tions, he will make his mark in this
campaign should his carelessness of
personal danger not bring him before

wounded six times during his career.
Having been appointed to the staff of

tor Spencer’s hair no longer lies flat to
his head. It is curled up into a crest
almost a la Conkling. It looks as if the
dainty hands of his fair spouse had
been at it, as if she said, “My dear, I
intend to make you look a little taller.”
After receiving many congratulations
he began to pour communications into
the ear of Conkling, who is declared to
be his political adviser, and will tell
him what to do, in view of the ignor
ing of his political claim by the Admin
istration. Senator Conkling looks in
better health, but the golden glory of
his hair is gone forever, even from the
famous forelock. No man in public
life has changed so much personally in
the same length of time as Mr. Blaine.
It is but a few years ago since he
looked a young man and a handsome
man. Already he has the puffy ap
pearance which marked Sumner in his
last years—has the samo swollen circles
over and under his eyes. Ho has
grown stout. His hair has grown gray.
His face and person have aged at least
twenty years in ten. His whole pres-
sence tells of battles he has waged and
not always won. His countenance
shows the mental conflict through
which he has passed. Remorse hurts
some; to be found out hurts worse.
Thurman looked much less muffled, up
than usual, as if mumps and neuralgia
had “sworn off” from him for the
month of October. Stanley Mathews,
looking as aggravatingly like Brigham
Young as ever, sat as comfortable on
his Senatorial seat as if the rival im
ages of Ewing and Pendleton did not
loom in the Democratic distance. Mor
ton’s seat was conspicuously vacant.
Chaplain Sunderland deplored his ab
sence, arid commended him to God in
his prayer. It the Lord would only
ship him along this way, many peoplo
wouldn’t return thanks.
A n I ncurable M aniac . —Dr. J. C.
Ayer remains in an asylum in A thol,
Mass., an incurable maniac. A corre
spondent of the Rochester Democrat
says at times he is very violent, and at
others quiet to a degree that indicates
softening of the brain. The same
writer gives the following as facts:
Ayer came to Lowell a poor adventurer
and obtained employment in a fac
tory, where his services as a chemist
gave him good wages. He was eco
nomical and saved money. Then he
became acquainted with a druggist who
sold a cough medicine which was very
popular. Ayer obtained the recipe
and advertised the medicine freely.
His agents spread rapidly through the
country and Ayer built up an immense
traffic. He kept his profits secret, but
his frequent investments indicated rap
idly growing wealth, He became one
of the largest cotton mill proprietors in
Lowell, and the largest owner of bank
stock. Investments were also made in
other places, in order to avoid notice and
prevent that rush for charity which so
often follows the increase of wealth.
This absorbed the entire energies of
the proprietor until he was ordered by
his physician to goto Europe. He es
