Parma, hyacinth, clematis and wistaria are beautiful shades of violet of which no fashionable woman seems to tire. Swiss muslin is suggested by the de- signers as being a very simart and effective material tor accordion plaited summer gowns. White gowns are to be worn more than ever this sumer for informal as well as dressy occasions, and these will be accom- panied by white hats, parasols and shoes. Nearly every new dress of thin materia] will this summer be made with the cool, airy, outside fabric of the skirt cut sep- arate from its silk, lawn or dimity lining. Very few black lace dresses appear, and when seen they are of the most costly and elegant description, heavy witha superb jet garnitures and made up over expensive moire Francais. For people who prefer thick eottons for the mountains and beach to lighter cot- tons or wools of any description, are this scuson set forth some very pretsy linen ducks, dimities and piques. Black and white effects in gowning are quite as much the fashion as the rage for glaring and outre color mixtures and are a decided relfet to the blaze of gorgeous dyes used both in dress and millinery. Black canvas, grenadine and fancy net gowns are made over white and bright shades of red, green, blue and yellow, and on very fashionable French gowns over the most brilliant single colors, mixed iri- descent shades and showy Tartans. The black and white striped and checked silks and jacquard liberty satins are well represented among summer textiles. Black lace, white insertion, chiffon, accordion plaited frille and black velvet ribbon are used to trim these gowns; alsu those of sheer white wool and iadia silks.—New York Post. GLEANINGS.

A railway employee at Vienna recently committed suicide.

If the fowls have brood disease, change the food for a day or two. Success with young chickens demands warmth, dryness, liberal feeding and, above all, pure air. if the hens appear lazy and show no in- clination to eat, do not give stinsulanta but rather decrease the rations. There are six or eight standard breeds of chickens, ten of ducks, nine of turkeys and seven of geese, not including mongrels. To fatten hens rapidly there is nothing that will excel cornmeal. Fattening fowls may be given all that they will eat up chain, Too much stimulating food causes over egg production and as a result these wil) be poor hatehers, weak chickens and in- lerior stock. Hens will readily eat parings from any kind of vegetables if well cooked. If the quantity is not sufficient, add wheat, bran and skim milk. It pays to feed young fowls liberally un- til full grown. Chickens, Hike other young stock once stunted, never fully re- gain their vigor, no watter how carcfully fed.—5St. Louis Republic. TIRE PUNCTURES. All that is needed now is a few more bi- eycling elubs, and then every wheelman can. have one cf his own.—Chicago Post. The bicycle is said to be closing the theaters in New York, and it is making business duii alse in the cenutries. —Chi- cago ‘Tribune, Physicians declare that &7 excessive 1i- cycle riding the nervous system mar Se exhausted without the knowiedge of the rider, and that when attacked by disease the bicyclist may find himself without re- wrve foree to resist it.—San Francisco Argonaut, Whether it is because the ‘1897 wheel”’ is faster, or because there exists a spirit of bravado, makes very little difference. The fact remains that wheels are being today propelled through this city at specd which precludes pedestrians from oceupy- ing crosswalks with even a fair chance of safety.—Rochester Democrat. In @ Charch at The Hague. One or two things I particularly no- ticed with the congregation. One was their very deep and earnest attention to the chaplain, and another the fearfully ponderous books used by the majority. Those of the women were certainly of @ much lighter description than those of the men, but they all looked good, and as though the prayerbook, hymn- book and Bible were cherished posses- sions. When the two lessons had been read, a psalm was sung, still in the same slow, monotonous style, and dur- ing this psalm a collection was made. This of itself was quaint and peculiar. A number of men came round in even- ing dress, white ties ar‘ black cotton’ gloves, carrying in their hands collect- ing mediums in the shape of butterfly nets—-long sticks with a net shaped bag: at the end. These, in the neatest man- ner possible, were propelled backward and forward, up and down the lines of people, who all apparently responded to the appeal. The Dutch are most char- itable, and in every town in Holland may be seen institutions, almost pala- tial in appearance, which are supported —and well supported—by voluntary contributions. Cvilections for such are made in the churches every Sunday.— Quiver. ee WANTED—A girl for general housework Apply to Mrs Thos'Campbell, Richmond St a , tthe 1 classes ; Men’s, Boys’ and Child's.
