f.i' / i THE LADIES' COLUMN. Latest Fashionable and Purely Domestic Gossip. (Cousin Kato'B Weekly Budget.) I'liMhiuii NoteH. Dark brown felt hats with flat brims are trimmed witli a fold of brown velvet about the crown. A loop and iooao knot of tlie velvet and ivn owl's wing in front complete the trininiinf^. The plaid and fancy velvets have not been a success this season, despite the many efforts made to popularize them. Striped ones, with ulternatu silk stripes of a little lighter sliade, are much more popular. The favorite dress for afternoon recep- tions is made of t;ruy silk ; one of the soft silvery shadeK of Trench tjray. This is combined with plush of the same shade or brocaded silk with tones of pale blue. Scarlet is also a popular combination with these grays, and one handsome dress of gray silk had a waist of poppy-red crape. The fawn-colored cover coats that ap- peared in the autumn are still seen upon the avenues on fine days and are extremely becomint^, particularly when the muff and long boa are of black fur, either lynx or marten. These cover coats, however, must be made ny a skilful tailor, tit accurately and be made with what are known as " tailor seams." that is, lapping over each other. Waists which are open ip the front, or low in tlic neck, have either long jioints front and back or a small point in front, and cut ui> over the hips with very small bascjues. The lower part of the bastiuc is often concealed undor a wide belt of ribbon or soft cra{)e, which is tied on the side. When waists are low in the neck there are no sleeves, but only epaulets, with a bow or bunch of flowers on the outside. The Russian bang, nearly straight, but slightly curled at the end, is the fashiona- ble arrangement for the front hair ; this is curved or pointed in the middle, is very short on the sides and discloses about half of the forehead. This is becoming to long faces, as it makes them look shorter and is worn alike with a low braided coil at the back or with tlie double eight twist high on the crown of the head. Costumes of woollen fabrics, and even those of silk and wool, arc often either |)erfectly plain or have only a flat band on the lower part. Dressy toilets of light material have several rows of narrow gathered silk, alternating with tulle, gauze or lace flounces to match the dress. There are two or four of these flounces, accord- ing to their width. The drapery is so arranged tliat these flounces are not entirely concealed. Women receive early lady visitors m loose dominoes of wood-colored silk, with close inner sleeves of lace and long, stjuare ones, falling to the knee, of the silk, lined with pale blue Touisine. A thick scorf of laoe is tied around the throat and a " Nell Gwynne " cap of lace, copied from the por- traits of that famous beauty, complete the costume. On the feet are worn brown vel- vet slippers embroidered with gold. Very large plnids of blue and brown wool are combined with golden-brown velvet for warm frocks for little girls. The gathered hemmed skirt is of two breadths of wide wool, the waist is worn over a guimfje of the same material, which shows above an open square of golden-brown velvet i:i yoke shaix.', and the long sleeves of the guimpe puff out below the short elbow sleeves of the waist. For dances and children's parties are pink, pale blue cashmere frocks trim- med with moBS-green velvet. Little TIdlcH about the IIoum-. A dainty spread for a baby's bed is of cream serge with pink clover blossoms strewn over it. The border is edged with pink and white cord. A table-cover of gray-blue satin sheeting has a flight of swallows embroidered across it. The birds are worked in the natural colors and form an effective decoration. A pretty bag for holding dusters is of cream linen, embroidered with disks in various colors. The top of the bag is faced with turkey-red, and the drawing-strings are of pink and green ribbon. A cream plush table-cover has the border and the centre of Indian embroidery applied with gold thread in tajiestry stitch. The lining is pale-blue satin, and a tassel fringe with all the tints that are found in the embroidery finishes this rich cover. Every-Day Conking. None but the best butter will do in pastry. A cake should not bo moved while baking. Never use fresh and old milk in the same cake. It is hard to whip the white of eggs iii a warm room. Both pudding and custard should bo baked as soon as mixed. Stir butter and sugar to a cream before adding the other ingredients. As a rule, eggs witli a dark shell beat up nicer than those with a light one. All kinds of cake ore better for having the whites and yolks beaten separately. To keep fruit cake, change it occasionally from a dry to a damp and from a damp to a dry place. In making pastry everything should bo kept as cool as possible. If the shortening is soft the crust will bo heavy and solid. Cake without butter should never bo beaten, as it is sure to make it tough and leathery. Put the material together as lightly as possible, stirring it on the top, not from the bottom . Ginger Cakes.- -One cup of moUsses, one cup brown 'â- â- ..;;ar one cup warm water, one cup lard. \wo tablespoonfuls iiinger, one tablespoonfi.l soda (dissolved in water), one teaspoonfnl powdered alum, pnt in last. Mix soft ; bake quickly. Beefsteak Smothered with Onions.â€" Cut up six onions very flnc ; put them in a saucepan with two onpfuls of hot water, about two ounces of good butter, some pepper and salt ; dredge in flour. Let it stew until the onions are (juito soft, then have the steak broiled ; i)ut into the sauce- pan with onions : tlion simmer about ten minutes and send to the table very hot Soft Molasses Gingerbread. molasses, a cupful of sour cream, two cup- fuls of flour, an egg, a large teasiK>onful of ginger, two level toHspoonfuls of soda and half a teaspoonful of suit are blended to produce soft gingerbread. Put the molasses, cream, salt and ginger into a bowl. Beat the egg well. Dissolve the soda in one teasi>oonful of cold water and stir the liijuid into the mixture in the bowl. Add the beaten egg and then the flour, and after beating the batter vigor- ously for one minute jwur it into two but- tered shallow pans, and bake for twenty minutes in a rather hot oven. Corned Beef Hash.â€" Take tender boiled corned beef, entirely free from fat or gristle ; chop it fine, and mix with it chopped boiled potatoes in the proi)ortion of one '.up of beef to three of potatoes. Add enough salt to season the [wtatocs ; pepper to your taste ; mix very thoroughly to- gether, and let it stand over night. Half an hour before the time to serve place it on the fire in an iron frying-pan, with one tablesixwnful of cold water and a teaspoon- ful of butter to each cup of the mixture. Let this cook slowly on the back of the range, stirring fre<iuently, if it becomes too dry, add boiling water. Taste it, and if not suftioiently seasoned throw in some pepper and salt, but very cautiously. Servo very hot. The Irreproachable Woy to Broil a titeak. First see that the tire is clear and not too much of it ; open wide all the draughts, to carry off all the smoke that is made during the process of broiling ; then see that the gridiron is smooth and i|uito clean, rub it well with whiting or chalk, lay on your steak. Do not pound it. nor after it is on the fire stick a fork into it, or the juice will escape. Neither salt or pepjx-'r it ; do that on the dish. Throw a little salt on the fire, and put over the steak ; place tlio gridiron close on the range for the first few minutes to carbonize the surface ; then turn it over juickly, to carbonize the other side. Now it shoiild be exposed to a slower fire, to do which place two bricks on their ciges, and rest the gridiron on them. The steak should be turned refxjatedly and carefully, and when it feels rather firm to the touch it is rare, and if so liked it should be taken off, laid on a hot dish, on which one and half ounces of butter have been melted, less than one-half tables|x>onful of salt, a pinch of white pepper and one tablespoonful of chopjxjd parsley, well mixed ; lay the steak on one side, and then on the other. Serve immediately. CURRENT TOPICS. The Victim* of ItotltwelllirlK. ' At a public meeting at Kirkwall, the other day, presided over by Provost Reid, a committee was appointed to draw up an appeal for subscriptions for the erection of a monument at Moid Head, Deerness, Orkney, in memory of over two hundred Covenanters who perished there in Decem- ber, lOV'.t. The Covenanters referred to were taken prisoners after the Battle of Bothwell Brig, and on the 15th of Novem- ber, 1679, were put on board the ship Crown of Lcith. The vessel was overtaken in a gale off Orkney, and was wrecked. As the hatches were fastened down on the Coven- anters, over two hundred of them perished, and were buried in bcarvating, Deerneas where it is proposed to place the monument. Provost Boidstate<l that Dr. Gunning had promised to subocribe to the extent of £60, whilst the Uev. .)ohn Henderson Thomson, author of "The Martyrs' Graves of Scot- land," and others, were taking a warm interest in the movement. A suggestion made by the Rev. .John H. Thomson, that an obelisk or pillar, on the base of which the names of all the sufferers could be inscribed, should be placed at a point where it could bo seen from passing vessels, was very favorably received. A ChariiiinK New Toy. We copy from an advertisement in the London (^iieen an interesting account of the charms of this gladsome .lapan monster : " Will go into a watch-pocket, yet blow out four feet long and as thick as a man's arm. Immediately it is released from the hand it flies all over the room, causing the greatest consternation and horror among ladies. Stroked the right way it purs with pleasure ; stroked the wrong way it sends forth blood-curdling screams. This snake is always ready for mischief, and will cause more fun in five minutes than ordinary mortals deserve in a lifetime. Invaluable for parties, the most bashful young ladies invariably clutching tho nearest gentleman for pro- tection and refusing to release them until tho ' monster' is removed from the room." An Exacting Thief. Mr. Ballam, who lately reported that ho had been robbed of 911.5 in cash as well as other articles, says ho found a note lying on his front doorstepsomo nights ago, writ- ten in a large straggling hand, containing tho following: "Beware! I took your money. If you don't leave the town, I'll burn you out." A few nights ago another note was found on thpback doorstep, which was to the effect that it would be the final warning, and advising him to leave at once. Mr. Ballam says he cannot account for such strangeproceedings. â€" Charlottttoum Patriot. • The DevH'H Leaf. At Timor, near tho island of .lava, there is a plant called the devil's leaf, whoso petals, being of a thorny nature, jiossoss a fatal sting when penetrating tho flesh. I once met a gentleman in Honolulu who had been stung by this plant who barely escaped death, and who had a great raw sore â€" like that sometimes made by the stingareo of southern Pacific waters- on his left arm. Ho alluded to it facetiously as his straw- berry mark. â€" New York Tiinen. Ilinmnrclc Koniln Iliii Autograph. Prince Bismarck, in response to a ro<iuest from tho Royal Library at Munich, Imssent tho following autograph ; " 1 fulfill with pleasure your wish ; glad to have another opiwrtunity of expressing tho gratitude which Germany will ever feci for your magnanimous King and for Bavarian bra/ery, in remembering tho restoration of the unity and security of Germany." â€" llerlin Despatch in the I.omliin Timen. It is now understood that tho dudes aro not wearing overcoats this winter because they have found that their corsets koop them sufficiently warm. â€" Head-dresses aro worn more and more by married women to dinners and evening A cupful of ontcrtainments. The people of British Columbia ere complaining to tlie Government that not- withstanding the Chinese Restrictive Act passed two sessions ago, Chinese are still pouring into the Province. The recent census of the town of Vancouver, so states tho Neu-H of that place, shows that over 50 per cent, of the adult (lopulation of that town aro Chinamen. An agitation is on foot now to discourage the employment of Chinese labor as the only remedy, by boy- cotting the merchants and others who em- ploy tho Celestials, and thus starve them out. There appeors to bo, from ell accounts, a floating Chinese i>opulation which drifts between Washington Territory and British Columbia, going and coming as the demand for their services may fluctuate. Dii. W'li.i.uM II. ti KAY, of West Falls, Md., is quite sure that ho has at last di8covere<l tho secret of periictual motion, and has constructed a wheel which he tliinks will run forever. It derives its motion from the attraction of gravitation, a mechanical movement being placed on the wheel in such a way that the descending side is the heaviest. By the force of its action it keeps tho wheel steadily in motion. The wheel is twenty-six inches in diameter by eight inches in thickness, and is mounted on a wooden frame resembling a grindstone frame. The wheel is keyed to a steel axle, which rests on brass bearing*. Dr. Gray has had one of the inachines at his house working steadily fur the past three months. He labored twenty years over his invention. M. GuKvv receives as President of the French Republic a yearly salary of $•240,000, besides the following allowances: 820,000 for heating and lighting, servants and washing, 8tK),000 for his entertain- ments and journeys, and S'i.'j.OOO for tho maintenonce of his game preserves. With respect to the latter, it is worth while noting that the game is no longer sent to hospitals and barracks as in former times, but is sold, exempt from tho octroi duty, for the private benefit of the President. The cost of his travels is always defraye<l by tho railway companies over whose lines he travels as a deadhead, and he has a free box at the O^iera and all tho theatres. The most perfect of oflicial residences is pro- vided for him in the beautiful and com- modious Palace of the Klysec. Not many of our readers probably are awaru that the famous " Stars and Stripes " of the United States are of Knglish origin. The Fast and West Junc- tion Railway Company have published a novel guide, illustrated by photogiaphs, under the titleof " ShakB|>eare's Country and tho Ancestral Home of the Washing- tons." which speaks of Sulgrave as " tho ancestral homo of tho Washingtun family, from whom sprang the renowiie<i • Father of his Country,' George Washington, first President of the irnited States, and from whose coat of arms, still to Im- seen in the village, tho American banner- tho famous ' Stars and Stripes,' took its origin • • • • lies about three miles to the southwest of Morton Pinkney, in a secluded valley on the left hand side of the road leading to Banbury. • • • • Jngt outside the village, standing about two fields back from the road, is the ancient manor house erected by Laurence Washington about the year 1560, still bearing on tho apahdrils of tho outer porch his coat of arms, tb-^ ' Stars and Striiies,' inscribed on a sliiei with his crest, a raven, above it." TiiK nowly-discovercjl goldfield at â-  3- tulpa, Tasmania, is the most exciting toi- -â-  in the colony at present. Tho special cor respondent of tho South A tutralian Itegitter reports on a recent date as follows : " A number of men have left tho Teetulpa dig- gings, but tho field is still thickly populated, the tents numbering from 400 to 500, and the men upwards of 1,HOO. Work has gone on more steadily and systematically to-day than before, and there arc not so many gangs of loafers hanging about. In addi- tion to tho results from the washings, rough gold is still found in small nuggets. In difFcrent claims I have seen ijuantities of lidwt., lOdwt. and 1.5dwt. obtained. Good prosj)ects are being obtained from claims lying on tlio west bank of the creek, and not in the watercourse." The following telegram has been received by the Colonial Secretary of Western Australia from Mr. Hare, Government resident at Wyndham, dated October 14th, and despatched via Port Darwin : " Tweed, an old Queensland digger, brings news that a 40oz. nugget has been found at the Kimlx-rley goldfielils. Ho re^mrts that tho diggers arc getting more golil than is generally supiioscd ; £iJ0O worth of gold was brought in last Saturday. Prospecting parties have gone up tho Ord, Forrest and King Rivers in boats. A lode, supposed to be of cinnabar, .')00 feet wide has been discovered. Later rojxjrts are very encouraging. A party of men have found gold six and nine miles from Wyndham, but not as yet in payable quail Litics. The country is Ixiing well prospected. Mr. Carr-Boyd has brought in llcwt. of magnificent cjuartz, in which gold is plainly visible. Tho reef is almut I'iO miles from Wyndham. Boyd is proceeding south by tho Perth." TiiK Belgian Government offers a prize of 85,000, to Ix! awarded in 18H!», to tho author of tho best work on tho progress of electricity in its uses as a motor ond for lighting purposes, with all applications that can bo made of it for such purposes, and the economy ond adva.itagcs which its use may offer. Tho prize is open to all nation- alities, and tl o manuscript may bo written in Knglish, French, I'lcinish, German, Italian or Spanish. At the mooting of tlie Kasteni Dairy- men's Association in Brockville recently, Mr. Blue, of the Ontorio Bureau of tho Statistics, brought out tho curious fact that tho Kastern part of Ontario gets tho bettor of tho Western part , on the score of a larger quantity I'f cheese to a given (juantitv of milk, to the extent of an aggre- gate of 8815,000. On tho other Imnd, tho Western part of the Province, by virtue of a better average price for tho whole make of cheese, gets the better of tho Eastern part to tho extent of about 8500,000. The Religious Tract Society has just received copies of Bunyiui's " Pilgrim's Pro- gress," which has been produced at its cost in the .lapancsc laiigiinge. 'Ilio illustra- tions are the work of ii native artist, and are of remorkablo interest as showing how well tho spirit of the various characters and scenes has boon cans^ht. The .lapnncso makes tho eighty-first language? intu which it is known that' Bunyan's immortal work has been translated. The society is also contributing towards the cost of an edition in the Faiiti tongue, s{x>keii on the Wt st Coast of Africa. A pEcisiu.v of wide interest to travellers was rendered by the Massachusetts Supreme Court the other day. When passengers are robbed at night in a sleeping car tho court holds that the sleeping car company is liable for the loss. " Tho company," says Chief Justice Morton, "holds itself out to the world as furnishing safe and comfortable cars, ond when it sells a ticket it implicitly stipulates to do so. It is its duty to use reasonable means to guard the passenger against theft ; and if through want of care the personal effects of a passenger, such as ho might reasonably carry with him, ar-; stolen, the company is liable. Such a rule is rctjuired by public policy and by the in- terests of both tho passenger and the com- pany." It is likely to be long before Germany makes much headway in the three large islands of the Solomon group v/liich she has just aiine.xed. We know very little more about these islandsthan the Spaniards who discovered them. Labor ships have made terrible savogcs of the natives by kidnapping them to work on Queensland plantations. No white men have ever lived on the three islands except two unfortu- nate captives. The sufferings of one made an idiot of him, and no one knows what became of the other except that he was sold as a slave to an inland tribe. The mis- sionaries, who have spread all over tho Pacific, have never dared to live on these islands. Many of the natives are professed head hunters, an (xscupation th.it is not likely to become popular among visitors, esi)ccially as a white man's head is regarded as a gem for the finest collections. Loiiii Ranikili'Ii Cih-bchii.l's resignation was aniiounc<xl in the London Timti exclu- sively, and this is how the " Thunderer " managed to retoin its "scoop :" Lord Ran- dolph drove into Printing House Square shortly after 11 at night, and aske<l to see the editor. He was lodge<l with him for nearly an hour. As soon as Lord Randolph had been seen off the premises an order was is8uo<l to lock every door, back and front, and take the keys to the editor's room. Despatches, as they arrived through the night, were taken in at a window in the courtyard. Not a soul was |)ermittod to leave the premises on any pretext whatever. The secret was till 2 o'clocK in the morning locked in tho breasts of the editor and two leader writers. The paragraph announcing the resignation and the articles comment- in){ thereon wero written and held back to the last moment. But even then, tho hour being one at which other (lapers had gone to press, the doors were still locked, and it was not till the paper had gone to press that the doors were unlocked. A iiARY and a cradle figure among the goods and chattels recently seized for non- payment of rent in Portree, Scotland. The thing scorns incredible, but it is a cold fact.

" God never sends mouths unless lie sends bread to fill them," said his employer piously. ' Aye. (Jnly He sends the mouths to mo and the bread to you," asserted John Allen. " I guess God made a mistake when He sent that baby here," remarked John Allen, jun., aged H, the baby himself until now. " God never makes mistakes," answered his pale, tearful mother, the baby's only friend. It is sad enough to many people to have to come into the world at all, but to coaie into a world where no oiio wants you ; to bo in everybody's way ; to have your food and drink and wherewithal you shall be clothed reckoned up and grudged to you, you, [KX)r little unwelcome babe, who wouM bo in your place? They christene<l the Allen baby by the quaint and pretty name of Barbara. Mrs. Allen hoped it would bring goo<i luck, because it had been the name of a sweet woman who was dead â€" her own mother. And it reminded her of that other Barbara Allen, and the song she oftenest crooned to '.he baby was that old love song with its sad refrain. I suppose the unwelcome baby ought to have been a pale, iwnsive child, who never smiled, if there is anything in antenatal theories. But truth compels me to say that she was not. She grew and thrived, and looked pretty in the only clothes that were hers, tho cast-off and out-grown ward- robe of John Allen, jun. And she just bubbled over with laughter and cooings, and would bo iiotetl and pette<l, as if she had come to stay. " You'll be late for work, John," his wife would say to John Allen. "One more romp with little Bab," would be the answer, as he to8se<i her high up in his strong arms, and he kissed her again and yet again. And when the man went to his work there were smiles mixe<i with tho crows' feet of care on his face, as he thought of the baby that at last had found its wel- come. So with them all. The big sister " wasted her time " as she expressed it â€" aa if time could ever be wasted in that way â€" getting down on her knees to worship that bal y. .\nd her voice grew low and soft, because of the new love in her heart.

TiiiBTKEN different religious denomina- tions in Philadelphia have uniteil in a movement for the evangelization of the city by means of a house to house visita- tion. The rector of a Protestant Episcopal church is chairman of tho committee hav- ing tho undertaking in charge, and a Re- formed (tierman) Church pastor is the Secretary, while some 400 congregations are engage<l in tho work. The plan involves B])ecial services in each church nightly and subse<)uently union meetings in convenient neighborhoo<ls. It is proixmed, as far as possible, to visit every house in thocity and extend a personal invitation to the inmates to attend the s<>rvices at such church as they may prefer. Tho volunteers who do the visiting will take the names and ad dresses of those on whom they call, the number of children not attending Sunday School, the church attended, or, if none, the one preferred. These returns will be turned in at tho ond of tho week to the Chairmen of t'.o six districts into which tho city has been divided, who will notify the pastors of tho churches for which pre- ference has been expresse<l.
