T5E LADIES' COLUMN. Latent FaKhlou Noted. Entire dressts of EugliBli crape are made for widows. The tournure is neither greater nor !e»B â€"it remaiuH Btatiouary. Skirts are short for the btreet, domi- trained for evening and full trained for dinners iind reccjiiions. The black-ana white striped Bilks are used for baBtnies and demi-trained Bkirts, and make striking toilets. They are oombiued with black satin, velvet, jet or lace. The shaix) of wrappings changes little and innovations would be difficult, since all shapes are King worn now, the sling sleeve being seen on most o£ them, whether long or short. Pointed gimp abovu a band of astrakhan or of the long-waved Uussian lamb skin is a fashionable trimming for cheviot dresses. White cheviot dresats are worn in the house. with one quart of water and a little salt cover tightly and place on the back of the range or stove, whore it may gradually cook without danger of burning. If the water should be consumed before the rice is done, add enough to swell it out tender. Care has to be taken that the grains remain whole. When the rice has become tender put in a colander and ponr cold water over it until the grains appear to sepa- rate ; drain it well and replace in the dish. Then add white sugar to taste â€" it needs to be very sweet â€" the grated rind of one and the juice of two lemons . set back on the stove and let it simmer ten or twelve minutes ; then pour it into a wet mould, and when cooled off put on ice until wanted. Turn out like a blanc mange. The squaro-mcshcd Russian net, iwiiit d'^'sprit and tulle are now made up in mauve and heliotrope sliades for those about laying aside mourning. Mauve and purple velvet dresses, with trimmings of black Ittce, are worn by older ladies. Corsages are extremely varied, as well for day as for evening dresses. Corselets are much worn, the waist below the shoulders being plain and tight, and shirred on the front with soft puffings or folds over the bust ; these, however, are best adapted to slim figures. Tlu) fashion of low inner bo<lices, with the outer waist of transparent material, high in the neck and with half -easy sleeves, is returning ond promises to bo popular. This is worn at informal dinners and those occasions in the evening whore decollete vrould seem more thau the occasion re- quired. The fancy for wearing ribbons in the nock and sleeves instead of linen finds a prompt response in the shops where ruch- ings are shown on the edge of which is sewn narrow ribbons of all colors. The taste for colori.d ruching grows and it is .shown in all shades, to contrast with or â- exactly match the costume. The dresses get more and more voluminous, and these full skirts, uniess 4raj)ed by the hand of an experienced modiste, are apt to Ifave a bunchy and awkward effect. Almost all the smart, short frocks, not only ball gowns, are fulled right around the waist, and when thoy are of very rich material the effect is beautiful. A beautiful now plush is just out for car- iriage wraps that is exactly the sbado of the blue fox fur which is so much worn this â- winter. Ruby and heliotrope plush are much worn and the blue fox looks very well on ruby. A very handsome and new little mantle, just imported from England, is made of heliotrope velvet, trimmed richly with gold and green Egyptian passe- menterie. China crape without lustre is made up into handsome diimer dresses for ladies in mourning, which aru trimmed with passe- menterie and pendants of dull jet, and if lace is admissible the point d'esprit is uned with fine dots and fcathorodges like those on ribbons, or else with scollops; entire dresses are made of the piece lace vAth those tine dots, which is preferred by many to the beaded nets. For wear with black lace skirts are cor- sages of black velvet veiled by another corsage, almost high, which consists of a trellis of very narrow gold galloon. Some- times this corsage covers only the shoulders and neck and the upper part of the arm, and terminates in pampillcs which drape on the upper edge of thelow corsage. Some- imes the network veiling the skin is of jet nstead of gold. Black lace dresses continue to fill their useful function in the toilet, being as they are at once elegant, capable of being worn on the most diverse occasions and suitable for all ages. Only for evening receptions they are a little sombre, and to remedy this defect the outlines of the lace are run with gold thread, which is charming in effect, very rich and yet quite in good taste. Black lace dresses are not worn over black only, but over an nnderdrcss of any color, eiH blue, old rose, tilleul green and red of all shades. Uiieful Recipes.

Last Christmas morning Mrs. Peter Boudreau, of Saulnierville, Digby County, went to the bam as usual and got a mess of oats which she gave to her fowls. Later in the forenoon she noticed very strange actions amongst them, and tho rooster was stretched on tho ground apparently dead. Mrs. B., to make the best of it, plucked him slick and clean, with the exception of a few tail and wing feathers a :d consigned his remains to tho manure heap, feeling convinced that he ^ had been poisoned. Towards noon to the great surprise of tho whole family he was up again, strutting about as gay as ever, though deprived of his costly and necessary apparel. But our good lady, being eiiual to tiie emergency, took him in the house and fitted him with a line suit of overalls, and at last accounts he was doing as well as coukl be expected under the distressing circumstances. Mrs. B., determined to find out tho cause of this strange phenomenon, went to her oat- barrel and found that a bottle of liquor had been placed in tho barrel ond the liquor had leaked out in the grain which explained the whole mystery. The rooster was drunk, as many other bipeds in bigger communities were on Christmas day. PKKPAUIKGFORTHK KIKLI). TIm New Uniform far the Frenrli Infantry. Ocn. Boulangor, just now the idol of the French lire eaters, is making many changes in the French army designed to increase its effectiveness. He proposes to change the dress of tlie soldier. For ono thing, he has recom- mended the wearing of a beard-^-a full beard â€" close cropped. He has set the ex- ample by cultivating one upon his own chin aiMl cheeks. Since Napoleon III. the Frenchman has worn a moustache and imperial in the fashion set by the late Emperor. But Gen. Boulaiiger knows the weakness of his fellow countrymen, vt'hich is their vanity. A Frenchmai: would pre- fer to go without his bath rathci- than to leave his moustache without being waxed till its two ends stuck out like steel pens. But this operation takes time, far too much time ; so does the elaborate shaving and trimming around the moustache. There- fore, says Boulangor, let the s»ldier wear a full beard and save all thi« time. The changes in unifr in pro^.^and by the Minister of \Vj; Iiavj been carefully looked into by a militaiy • oard,and recommended. They were or(1'--ed to be submitted to tho French .\sp^mbly for approval. The '^commendations were that the round jacket be abolished altogether, and the tunic serve for all occasions. Tho new tunic is large and loose, rendering movements and respiration easy. It will lie roomy enough to permit a woolen waist- coat to be worn underneath. It has [Kickets interior and exterior. The belt is of black leather, as it has been heretofore. The infantry are to wear epaulettes. Cartridges are to be carried in an outside pocket of the tunic, thus doing away with the cartridge box. What Four Sparrows Can Uo. Two pairs of sparrows were watched by an observant naturalist feeding their young in their nests in only one half hour with the larvae of the bluebottle fly from a dead cat. They fetched these in all 104 times, and one of the biriis also caught 14 flies on the wing. Now the common house fly is computed to produce in ono season, so pro- lific is its progeny after progeny, no less than '20,900,000, say, in round numbers, 21,000,00f,, and thus were prevented by these two pairs of birdn no fewer than 280,000,000 by the capture of 14 flies and 2,800,000 by tho destruction of the 101 larvae, .\gain, there figure*! in the parisli accounts of ono parish in Uloucestershire a charge for 17 dozen of (so-called) tomtits heads; in another parish, Melbourne, in Derbyshire,a sparrow club destroyed in one year 4,577 small birds, and in yet another 3,''>00. Take the smaller of these two last numbers, and multiply it by the number of flies just calculated as prevented by the two pairs of sparrows, and it gives what we may very well call a grand total of 7,280,000,000,000.â€" London Timt». Trying to Oct Her, A telegraph operator in Milwaukee was one day trying to call up an office in a small town in tho Interior of tne State, where tho instrument was presided over by a woman. He was about giving up in despair when tho operator in another small town a few milos distant from the first ticked out the •juery : " What in heaven's name doyou want ?" " I want Miss Brown at Bnrgville," replied the Milwaukee man. " I have been trying to >;et her for tho last half hour." " That is nothing," came the reply. " There is a young follow clerking in a dry- goods store there who has been trying to got her for the last three gears and ho hai not succeeded yet. Do not get discouraged.' â€" The. Humbler. The Value of Crying. A French physician contends that groan- ing and crying are two operations by which nature allays anguish, and that those patients who give way to their natural toolings more sfjeedily recover than those who suppose it unworthy to betray such symptoms of feeling. He tells of a man who reduced his pulse from 126 to 00 in the course of a few hours by giving full vent to his emotion. If people are unhappy about anything let them go into thoir rooms and comfort themselves with a loud boo-koo and they will feel 100 per cent better afterward. â€" American Homeopathic. 8orry He spoke I A gentleman went home a few evenings ago and casually remarked as he hung up his hat : " I see women are sold at actual value in Indianajx>lis. A wife was bought there this week for five cents." " Well, I know a woman, about the time I was married, who was sold for nothing," replied his wife. Then the man put ouhis hat and came down town.

James Gordon, the Dundee porter, who undertook to wheel a barrow from his native city to London and back in 00 days, reached the Royal Aquarium, London, on Nov. 29th, and thus ooinplcted the first half of his journey. He left Dundee on Nov. 2nd, and travelled along theGrcat Northern Hoad, taking care to let the course of his journey bo known beforehand, which had the effect of bringing crowds into the streets of all the townsand villages through which he passed, and everywhere, he says, he was well greeted by the people. So far as the money result of the journey is con- cerned, Gordon docs not seem to have been particularly fortunate. In walking through bcotland by Stirling, Falkirk, Kdinburgh, Alnwick and Newcastle, to Darlington, he got on very well, was lodged and fed well, and gathered sufficient money to send his wife weekly remittances, but between Darlington end London he does not seem to have fared so well ; though he anticipates that his eugagement at the Aquarium and the sale of a pamphlet about h<3 adventures may put in his pockets a good round sum. Questioned as to the manner of his recep- tion he stated that me.'; and wouffcii every- where encouraged him to go on, but in Newcastle ho waii rather roughly treated. The streets through which he passed were densely crowded, and ho wag kicked acci- dentally, of course, several times, but a rotten egg or two were thrown at him, and that, he judged, could not luwe beMi acci- dental, but he bear* no malice to the lusty man of Newcastle, and hopes upon his re- turn that ho will have a different greeting. In all tho big townr of England he " got a good clearance, and the people were pleased to see me walk so clean. I was never in the least out of ' joint.' " From Darling- ton his route lay through Y'ork. Hunting- ton, Uoyston, to Waltham Cross. In due time he had reached Dalton, and from that noint through Ball's Pond, along Essox Road, by the Angol, over Pontonville Hill, through Euston, along Oxford street, and Regent street by Charing Cross. Ho was greeted with immense cheering by groat crowds of people, many hundreds of whom followea him until he reached the Aqaarium. The dis- tance traversed he calculates was 507 miles, and besides that he went about HO miles altogether out of his way by being mis- directed in the villages through which he passed. He never began his work before half<{)ast H in the morning, and always fmishetl about 5 o'clock. He ate moderately during the day, and drank- no spirits, but at night, after the day's work was done, he Confessed to having batheil his joints in " pure whiskey, and then taken a wee drap in tho inside of me." People about the streets of London called out, " Well done, old Scotty," and "Bravo, old man." Some- times in tho villages the iK'ople shouted, " Hero comes General Ooraon," which ho mentioned with very great pride Gordon was introduced to a crcwdtxl house at tho Ai|uariuni soon after his arrival, and ex- hibite<l liis light cart or wheelhorrow. NEW USE8 FOR IRON AND STKKI. SiiKgriitioiM Regarding the Making of Road- ^ uuyit and Pavement* Out of Metal. The production of iron and steel in Europe and thfe United States is now so large and the surplus stocks in the country are so heavy that there is urgent need for the invention of new uses to which these metals in tbeir various forms may be ap- plied, says the London Jronnumger. Every now and then we hear oi some departure in the direction just indicated, but in a gen- eral way it is to be feared that the produc- ers of iron and steel allow others to lead the way instead of doing go themselves. This ought not to be the case. Manufacturers should e.xercise their wits and devise new methods of using up the materials they turn out in such large quanti- ties. In some instances this has been done with excellent results. Steel sleepere, for example, are excellent and economical substitutes for wood- Their manufacture has been most serviceable to the steel con- cerns during the late severe depression, and it is ijuite within the bounds of probability that they will entirely replace the wood sleeiiers at home as well as abroad. What has been done in that respect may very well be effected in others, particularly in" the Bubstitntion of iron or steel for wood. Timber is gradually growing scarcer all over the world, owing to the recklessness with which North America and other parts of tlie world have been dis- afforested- Climatic and economic con- siderations will aoodtt or later put a stop to this wholesale destruction of trees, and timber will become scarcer and more valuable as a natural conse- quence. There are many purposes for which wood is used for which iron is equally well suited, and it should be the function of those interested in the metal to formulate the substitution and educate the public up to it. For building and struc- tural purposes there apjiear to bo many openings for the more extended use of iron and steel, especially for ornamental exte- riors, while more could b«f done with the metal for rooting and similar uses. It might be possible also to substitutc'iron for stone in pavements and rof'ways, in which case the consumption vuuld be enormous. Reliable paving-stones are high in price, and it might be worth while working out the comparative costs and durability, etc., of the two materials. Surveyors would no doubt make all sorts of objections on the point of slipperinoss in frosty or wet weather, difficulty of repairs, rust, and soon; but by properly roughing the surface, and proceeding on the basis of slabs or pieces of moderate sizes, the objec- tions might be met, always provided the first cost did not prove absolutely prohibi- tive. In the rolled or otherwise manufac- turinl forms iron or steel would seem to be applicable to a much greater variety of usea than are on record at present. Both metals are capable of artistic or utilitarian treat- ment to any extent. DO BIRDS FLT DOWN 7 Tli<- Way the Winged l>awn Hill " In Air. I see in a back number of " St-Niohoiaa* that one of our young correspoadento appeals partly to me in regard to birds. fl>ing down. But all who have written seem so well posted that I doubt if I can add anything to their knowledge. How- ever, I have seen a California quail, k wood dove and a humming-bird flying downward ; but in slow flyers, with large wings and heavy bodies, the wings are vaai more or less as parachutes in going down ; in other words, the birds spread their wings and rely upon gravity. This I haT« notice<l in the sand-hill cranes in their migrations along tho Sierra Madrea. A. flock of say 100 will mount upward in » beautiful spiral flashing in the sunlight, all the while uttering loud, discordant note*. until they attain an altitude of nearly » mile above tho sea level. Then thoy foraa in regular lines and soar away at an angle that iu five miles or so will bring theaa v.ithin 1,000 feet of the earth. Then thejr will stop and begin tho spiral upward, movement again until a high elevation ia reached, when away they go again sliding down hill in the air toward their winter home. It is very evident that a 'taat amount of muscular exertion is saved in this way. In some of these glides that I have watched through a giass birds would pass from three to four miles, I -''""M judge, without flapping their winj^a. â€" "ilt. Sichola* "tor February.
