o FOR FEMININE READERS. "Wlij Shouldn't I!" My canary sings the whole day long Behind his gilded bars. Shut in from all that birds enjoy Under the sun and stars; The freedom, grace and action fine Of wild birds he foregoes; . But, in spite of that, with happiness His little heart o'erllows "The world is wide, An 1 the birds outsi le In bxppy cheer always abide, "VVhy shouldn't IP I, too, must dwell behind the bars Of toil and sacrifice; From heavy heart and weary brain My prayers or songs arise; But all around sad hearts abound And troubles worse than mine. If aught of comfort I can bring To them, shall I repine? God's world is wide; If I can hide The crowding tears and sing beside Why shouldn't 1? Helen M. Winslow. IVugrget Jewelry The rage just now is a rough, crusty gold, eighteen carats fine, studded with minute jewels, which stand out like- the plums in a Christmas pudding. The chain and ball seems to be the leading style in the novelties sent out by a famous New York fashioner. The chain is very fine and the ball perfectly round, and about the size of an English sugar plum These are attached to ladies' fob chains, an elegant new trifle, and the ends of bracelets, and are also worn as ear-rings. The balls are studded with tiny rubies, or with turquise and diamonds, and many of the chains have fine jewels worked into them. The barbaric but stylish hoop ear-ring has returned in the shape of a semi-circle of nugget gold, and is now in high favor. A new engagement ring is a lover's knot of dead rough gold. A peculiar style of pin is a gold horse shoe on one end of a wrought-gold nail good luck. The Langtry bracelet is composed of several strands of fine gold chain, each one ending in a ball pendant gemmed or enameled. The new styles are elegant, and not, outre ; flower and insect jewelry is entirely passe. Kate Field Visits Worth. Kate Field always makes her first visit in Paris to "Worth. She says of the great artist: "lie has a large establishment in the Rue de la Paix, where 400 young women stitch, stitch, stich. not at all in poverty, hunger and rags. IIi3 employes number 1,200 in all, and, during the Commune, when nobody ordered dresses or anything else, "Worth provided for seventy of his work-women, though he, too, suffered for want of decent food. It is queer that the leaders of fashion should come from a country that is accused of having no taste. Worth i3 English, born about sixty years ago in Lincolnshire. Once upon a time he was a clerk in Marshall & Snellgrove's shop in London, and at twenty-five years of age set out for Paris with a few pounds in his pocket. Brains were his only capital. That the man is a genius in his profession is as evident as , the multiplication table. He inherited Oabitity from his mother, who pos ed exquisite taste, ou must not judge "Worth by all the dresses made by him, as I used to do. If h woman insists on having a fussy, fur rowed costume, Worth is obliged to make it, however disgusted he may be. "My life is anything but a bed of roses," he said one day. "What I have to en dure from some women is simply incredi ble, when it is remembered they call themselves 'ladies.' A person sailed in one day and gave an order, saying, 'I don't like your taste, Mr. Worth; 1 want so and so.'. 'Madam,' I replied, 'you can have what you want, but I am quite sure if I had your taste 1 shouldn't have any customers.' She didn't mind the sarcasm. She didn't understand it. "What do women come to me for if they don't like my style? That's what they pay for. "Why don't they make their own dresses " if they know so much about it? "Another lady said, 'You make my cousin's dresses, and I don't approve of them, Mr. "Worth. 'Neither do I, madam,' I answered. 'If your cousin likes colors mixed up, I can't help it. If you have a more cultivated eye than your cousin, I congratulate you.'" That's the way "Worth talks to people. It doesn't make the least difference who they are. He says exactly what he thinks, and conse quently he is very original and very amusing. Fashion Notes Sashes and belts are coming largely into fashion. All skirts fall flat in front, and are puffed at the back. Ready-made white dresses are cheaper in price than ever before. Kid gloves deteriorate with long keep ing; the kid spots and becomes tender with age. New Parisian waterproof cloaks arc of a material, which looks very much like mouse-colored velvet; it is inside like plain, smooth India-rubber always used for garments of this kind, and makes a very handsome garment. Elaborately beaded or braided jerseys are very much worn this autumn over skirts of bison cloth, tweed and vigogne. The newest deaigns in braidwork re semble rich passementeries, being wrought in close, elaborate patterns. In spite of considerable opposition bustles are becoming larger every day, and have become more like crinoline than like "tournures." They consist of a skirt which fails flat in front and has springs all the way down the back. Around the skirt is a flounce. A fancy of "Worth is the use of double sleeves, one of which represents a puffed arsleeve with a wristband. He has resorted to the former fashion of ng the sleeves of different material from that of the corsage, having them match the rest and lower skirt of tho combination dress In London a visiting gown in stone colored vicuna, with a narrow waistcoat; cuffs and foot kilting of a deep red; skirt quite plain, trimmed with rows of red and gold-mixed braid ; drapery fall ing in a point in front and long folds at the back, braided all over with leaves of the braid, with princess bodice,is strictly en regie. The Isles of Shoals. During the troublesome times before and subsequent to the revolution tha Isles of Shoals, off the coast of New Hampshire, were the resort and hiding places of the freebooters who haunted the northern coast, and these silent rocks, if they could speak, would tell many a tale of bloody cruelty and gloomy wrong. The pirates used to come here to divide and hide their booty, and melt up the silverplate they captured from the colo nists along the coast. For a long time it was supposed that bushels of doubloons was buried in the gaping crevices of the rocks, or the little caves that have been eaten out of the ledges by the restless tide ; but the place was thoroughly searched by several gen erations of fishermen, and nothing more valuable than a rusty cutlass or a bursted blunderbuss was ever found. The grandames tell how Captain Kydd came here often, "as he sailed, as he sailed," and there are legends of other pirates quite as fierce and free as he. There are eight of the islands, the smallest being as large, or rather as small, as a city building lot, and the largest containing only a couple of hundred acres nothing but bare, lifeless rocks, carved by the incessant waves into strange j grotesqueness, ana covered Dy no vegeta tion except low clinging vine3 and the New England blueberry. Four of the islands arc inhabited, the largest, the Ap pledore, bears a hotel and a few cottages. Star Island has another hotel and a small settlement of fisherman; a third has a few fishermen's huts, and the fourth has a bold, white lighthouse springing from its crest. They were discovered by Captain John Smith, the friend of Pocahontas, who in 1614 explored the New England coast in an open boat, and spent some time here in making repairs and resting. On Star Island stands the only monu ment erected in America to Captain John Smith. It is a rude affair a prismatic 6haped shaft of marb!e, upon a pedestal of sandstone, inscribed at length with the record of his valorous deeds, and some cyclopedias say he is buried here, but that is a mistake. The Biggest Vase in the Worlil. It has been left to a well-known firm of English potters to produce a china vase that is not only the largest in the world, but is also a beautiful work of art. The chief feature of the vase is a globe representing the earth, which is supported on a pedestal rising from a square plinth and surmounted by a fig ure of Ceres, who, aided by number of cupids. is occupied in showering her gifts of fruitfulness and plenty upon the earth. Round the center of the globe runs a frieze divided into four panels, on which more cupids are seen busied in the pursuits typical of the four seasons. The subjects are separated by brackets, on which are other figures emblematic of the seasons. The pedestal contains a splendid frieze, on which are represented as many as sixty cupids occupied in rural work. The plinth supporting the whole is ornamented in keepiug with the gen eral design. The color of the globe is a subdued green called celadon, the figures are china bisque and the other decora tions white glazed china. From the pe destal to the top of the figure of Ceres the vase is eleven feet high, and the diameter, including the ornamental fig ure, is six feet four inches. Notwith standing its massive proportions it is elegant and chaste, the design, which is by Mr. L. II. Jahn, being in the Renais sance style and thoroughly artistic. The figures have been modeled by the distin guished French sculptor, M. Carrier, and the whole has been constantly superin tended by Messrs. Brownfield & Sons. Before the vase left their works at Co bridge for the international exhibition at the Crystal Palace it was allowed to be inspected on one day only by the work people of the potteries district, and 25, 000 persons availed themselves of the op portunity of seeing it. The vase cost 3, 500 CaxselVa Maja ine. Bread From Acorns. Among the Indians scattered along the foothills of the Sierras, says a correspond ent, the acorn is a favorite article of diet. The orocess of converting this bitter nut into bread is curious. Under the branch es of a grand old pine I found them at work. They had shucked and ground in the usual manner a large mass of the acorn meats. A number of circular vats had been hollowed out of the black soil, much in the shape of a punch bowl. Into these were put the acorn pulp. At hand stood several large clothes baskets filled with water, and into these they dropped hot stones, thus heating the water to the required temperature. Upon the mass of crushed bitterness they care fully ladled the hot water, making it about the color and consistency of cream. Not a speck appeared to mix. A buxom muhala stood by each vat, and with a small fir bough stirred the miss, skilfully removing any speck that floated upon the surface. The soil gradually absorbed the bitter waters, leaving a firm, white sub stance, of which they made bread. I asked to taste it, at which they said something in their language, and all laughed. I asked again, and after more laughter I was handed a small particle on a fig leaf, and found it sweet and palata ble. They - began to remove it, and so adroitly was this done that but a small portion adhered to the soil. They spread it upon the rocks, and in a short time it was fit for use. This, I am told, they mix with water, put it into thin cakes and bake before the fire. OUR VILLAGE BELLE. She was our village belle.
