Here from the New York Herald is a description of some of the costly costumes worn on the stage of that city this week by Mme. Jane Hading. One gown (an CUirf) is a bridal dress of white satin, covered entirely with duchesse lace and caught up with pearls and orange blossoms. The pearls are as large as the fiowers, and are fastened in garlands. The bodice to tbia dress is ex- tremely decollete, and some beautiful dia- monds are to be worn nitb it. A second gown is of ceverte, or " faded rose," pint silk, and has a short train. The front from the shoulders to the hem of tba gar- ment ia covered with cat beads ot many colors formed into a diamond-sb«ped passe- menterie, and i third is of pearl gray faille silk, trimmed with bands oi Honiton lace, with a girdle and collar ct black moire.

Hore satin also will be seen than osoal." gecrnts of the Family. Use a warm knife in cutting warm bread and the like. A paate ot whiting and benzine will remove spots from marble. A salt ham should be soaked over night in plenty of soft water previoug to boiling. After wsslung a wooden bowl, place where it vill dry equally on all sides, away from the stove. Fruit-stsins on white goods can be re- moved by pouring boiling wat«ir directly from the lettle over the spots. Hive sifup is good for croop or indam- mation o/the lungs. It must be kept in a cool plao, for if it sours it is very poison- oas.

Uoe fourth of this fat and three-fotuths lard is a good mix- tare for frying doughnuts. Be very particular about disinfecting the kitchen sink. Washing soda, two tablespoonfuls to a gallon of boiliog water, makes an excellent wash to pour hot into the sink at night after you have finished using it. Novelties in Itric-a-lirac. For fancy tables brass and onyx in plain diisigns are the fashion. Flower vases in cut glass of the finest crystal are growing in favor. The latest table lamps are of oxidized silver in antique design and of gold and silver combined. A serviceable band glass, with bron/.e frame of rustic work, ia ornamented with hand-painted field fiowers. A convenient cologne case has three cut- i<lass bottles of varying sizes, with gold stoppers and a lizard-skin case. For dc.'orating Worcester ware, hand- painted floral designs seem to be selected in preference to landscape scenes. Ion candlesticks of majolica ware, r3pre- sentiDg Turkish pipes, folded newspapers and clowns' heads, shells, etc., are much admired. Half Dozen Fashion Notes.

Green and violet, especially when light, form a combination preferable to green and bine. Red and blue accord passably, especially if the red incline rather to a scarlet than a crimson. When two cdors accord badly together it is always advantageous to separate them by white. While grey never exactly produces a bad effect in its association with two luminous colors, yet in most casen itg assottments are dull. Red and yellow accord pi«uy well, especially if the red be a purple red, rather than scarlet, and the yellow rather gK^ciijb tiian orange. Yellow and green form an agreeabie combination. The arrangement of yellow and bias is more agreeable than that of the yellow and green, but is less lively. ^ LONDON 8TKKET VIAMD^.

For a penny the Londcn beggar may buy a bowl of beef or pea soop and a large piece of bread, enough to keep off starvation for a day. The spoon he eats it with and the bowl be eats out of are chained to the table. Nothing is left lying around loose in that style of restau rant. Two kinds of soup constitute the entire billoffare for the penny soup-house. For a halfpenny there is always a hot roasted potato ready on the sidewalk. These potato- roasting ovens are trundled aboot on wheels, and are built to resemble a small locomotive. They are known as " Murphy Busters." Another style of street kitchen deals in kidney and eel pies, smoking hot and two- pence each. The " ham and beef shops " are ready with their cooked wares at neon â€" corned-beef at twopence, for the lowest amount weighed out ; and for a ha'penny each a paper cone filled with freshly -boiled potatoes or tur- nipa. " Winks," a species of salt- water snail, are boiled in quantities and sold on the streets. The fried-fish kitchens about 10 at night are filled with reople, plate in hsmd, waiting for the well- rowned sole from the great frying vats at fourpence the plate, with a generous quan- tity of fried potatoes added for a ha'penny. Sixpence buys the supper for a small family, and twopence more pays for the inevitable pint of porter. The 10 o'clock ^ supper is the Englishman's most enjoyable meal, and twenty odd millions of people over there eat it and do not suffer so much from indigestion as we do. It looks odd at first, though, when you make a call, to see at 14 o'clock the table spread as if for din- ner and the roast beef hot from the oven broQght on.â€" Sew York Star. HAB^H TAILOB8.

A}« KNGLUH MATU&:9 lOBA. A" Battle of Flewais " Bloke* a Vary Lively Carnival Tixue at Bl.tclcpool. The summer resort town of Blackpool, England, recently bad a novel fete, coiled a " battle of dowers," devised by the Mayc* and carried out under bis superintendence. A mass of flowers weighing eight or Dina. tons, including dabliaa, cbrysanthemuma; marigolds, marguerites, sondowera, asters, glaoioli, ferns, laurel and myrtle, were dis- tributed free among the owners of licensed carriages. Owners of private oarrlagaa were also invited to take part ia the festival, and many did so. There were 150 carnages in the parade when it -itsrted. The hcusea along the principitl streets were decorated with flowers and evergreens, many of the devices being anusnally large and fine. Great crowds came from all the cotmtry round and by special trains from the cities to see the carnival. 1 he Mayor's carr:a,is was first in the line, covered with pink and white asters and fens. His four daaghters, each with a party of friends, occnpied the four follow- ing carriages, and beamed from among perfect bowers of flowers and ferns. All of the carriages were similarly decorated. The drivers all wore white coats and straw hats, which bad been presented to them by the Mayor. Several bands of music accooa- panied the procession. At a given p^.'int the carriages drew ap and the uccap5.:ta began to pelt each other with small bouquets, a large stock of which had teak loaded into each vehicle. All the way back over the route this new war of the rose* continued, and the people along the streets joined in heartily, pelting those in the oar- riages with the blossoms and being pelted in turn. The fan was furious fur two hours, and generally good humored, although some of the gentlecien in the car- riages became indignant at what tbe;^ I thought was undue vigor on the part (X this teiJ h«d to I those along the street. They were merely ♦aghed at, however, and pelted. â€" Sew fork Kome'a Welcome to William.

Two successful public meetings have been held, and signatures to the pledge and the World's Petition are being secured. According to the statement of the ex- Mayor of St. Louis, the revenae from saloons was over $'2,000 less than the ex- penses with which they taxed the city. This .-xclusive of the poverty resulting to homes and individuals. A Bill appropriating SSO.OOO for « home for Mormon Wi.meii has passed the United States Senate.

During the past year she lias been able to work without a week's rest, and on one trip spoke 97 oousr-cutive nights. As an outgrowth of the W.

The temperance work is spreading fast among the poor. At a late meeting of the union thirty nine signed the pledge. It is stated on the anthority of the Kns- sian physician and publicist, Portagalotf. that strychnine in subcutaneous injections is an immediate and infallible remedy for drunkenness. The craving for drink is said to be changed to positive aversion, and after a treatment of eight or ten days the patient may be discharged. The estab- lishment of inebriate dispensaries iu con- nection with police stations is recommended by Dr. Portugaloff. Succe«sful Test of Teleptiuoiuf; ' ..^^..^vl'. fialo to Boftton aud >*ew York. The Buffalo Eieruuj .Ve ,.i reports that the new loog.diatance telephone, which ia soon to be pat in operation there, ^h» tested by the ofiicers and directors of the Bell Telephone Company on the 14th ioat. the connections had been put in at 5 p.m., and communication was at once opened between Boston, SpringSeld. New York, Troy and Buffalo. The wires worked well, and conversations between the most dis- tant points could be as easily carried on as if both parties were within a block or ^wo of each other in the city. The line belooga to the A'nerican Telephone v: Telegraph Company, of New York, and is 300 ntilea in length, going tbroo^h Troy down to Nstf York, tfaence to Boston via Springfield, Mass. The test shows that the problem ol long-distance telephoning has been solved, and all interested were congraiuiated on its success. In this connection the Ti:it» learns that tSia Bell Telephone Company uf Canada is sow budding a line ot the same character be- tween 'Poronto, Haniilton. Brantford, In- gersoll, Woodstock and London, a.'id pro- pose to give those Df its suoscribers who have a large business between any of theea two pcints, a perfect means i f communica- tion, free from all di^^turbin^; sounds oa other lines. The instrameDt^ used in thifl system are more powerful than those in ordinary use, and each conversation re- . (aires the use of tw7 complete copper wires for the whole length of the line. TbeaS instruments, and th>i method of securing the above wonderful result, are of coarM patented by the Bell Company. It would only be necessary ti build a line of the same sort from Bamiltun to Buffalo to enable Toronto and London to be put oa direct with New York and Boston, and \b» company would of ciurse 'jadertake this it suOicint business for such ii. line could b4 relied on.
