CHOICE OF COLORS itf iIiSS.
Snggestionti hy lr, II. Xf. Bee cher.
The Christian Union has a series of
household artioloi by Mrs. Beechor, and
in the last the question of Colors in
Dress is discussed. Mrs. Beecher re
marks' that works on the combinations
of color in dress, divide complexions
into the " Fair and Ruddy Blondes," and
the " Pale and Florid Brunettes." In
tho Fair Blondes we find a delicate
whito skin, light hair in all tho shades
from 'a goldon hue to yellow or orange
brown ; light blue or gray eyes ; a -light
tinge of rose on the cheek, and a richer
tint on the lips. In all such complex
ions the rose color is not decided enough,
and the hair would bo improved by a
deeper hue and these changes can. be
made, in a good degree, by a suitable
mingling of color in the dress. One of
the most favorable colors for the Fair
Blonde is a delicate green as it imparts
to the flesh white of the skin a tint of
red, which, mingling with the natural
hue. forms an asrreeable rose tint a
good contrast both to the face and hair,
specially if the hair is golden, inclining
to orange.
The best colors to mingle with the
green, as trimmings, are red, orange,
and gold. Qreen and gold form A rich
harmony, peculiarly becoming -fo the
fair blonde. Scarlot blended with green,
harmonizes bettor than red J but if red,
inclining to crimson, is used, then or
ange and gold must also be combined
with it. There are some shades of green
that are not becoming, unless blended
with and enlivened by other harmonious
colors. A green bonnet, with rose-color
and white feather, will always be becom
ing for this complexion. Be careful
that too much white is not used, else it
will have a cold effect, and therefore will
not aid the fair complexion so much.
Orange or gold may be substituted for
the pink or rose also red, in a small
bonnet, but neither should be placed
close to the face. Orange, in a green
bonnet, in small quantities, is becoming,
if the wearer's eyes are blue. A few
autumnal shades of red, orange, or yellow-green
are also in harmony with the
fair complexion ; but dark green is not
at all desirable.
Blue is very suitable, giving an or
ange tint, which harmonizes finely with
the delicate white and flesh hues of
complexion. There is always a natural
trace of orange color on the skin, and
this color by intensifying this natural
tint is very pleasing ; but the blue must
be light, and not too positive. Blue be
ing the perfect contrast of orange, it
agrees finely with golden or orange
brown hair. This is the reason that
light-blue head-dresses are so very be
coming on light hair. To give a good
effect to blue by gas light, a little white
or pale blue is necessary to be in con
trast or very near the face. If there are
green leaves with the blue flowers of a
head-dress, they should be placed as near
the face as possible.
White, black, a very little yellow, or
ange, straw, or stone color, may either
of them be used in the trimmings of a
light-blue bonnet, with good effects, but
not if there are pink or purple flowers
on it, as these colors mingled with blue
are unsuitable. The colors to be used
carefully or avoided altogether with fair
complexions are yellow, orange, red, and
purple. The light shades of lilac may
be sometimes used ; but it is very trying
to and must always if used be separated
from the flesh by an edging of tulle or
some similar trimming, or be associated
with its harmonizing colors oherry,
scarlet, light crimson, or gold color, and
then they will in part overcome the bad
effects ; but green and lilac should never
be coupled, as it will form a positive
discord. A very little light purple is
agreeable for a head-dress on light hair,
but must be placed near the skin.
Neutral colors, if not too dark, accord
well with fair blondes gray, fawn,
drab, and some few shades of brown,
are the best. Black is good for tho fair
blonde, who has some healthy color, be
cause it increases the rose in the com
plexion ; but it is bad for pale skins, as
it bleaches them by the painful contrast.
No delicate color can be blended with
black without seeming of a lighter tone.
Unless, used for mourning, black must
be mingled with either blue, cherry,
mulberry, drab, or lilac, to remove the
sombre effects ; but cherry and lilao
must be used sparingly, lied must not
be used at all with black for fair blondes,
us it gives a rusty tinge. V hite is suit
able with black, if some other color is
added otherwise it is too cold. A black
bonnet looks well with a fair complexion,
but a little white and rose color should
be added, keeping the rose away from
the skin. White is pleasant for all com
plexions, but more so with the fair
blonde who has some color than for anv
other. Bright colors with white bonnet
may be added, but must be kept low and
well grouped. White increases the pale
ness of a pale skin, but this effect jnay
be neutralized by a blue or green wreath
brougnt wen on tne tace.
The ruddy blonde has a full-toned
complexion, inclining to a positive rose
red, or carnation ; dark blue or brown
hair. All the colors suitable for the fair
blonde are generally suitable for the
ruddy blonde, but the tones, and in sonio
cases, the hues must be changed. As a
rule this type may use more freedom in
the selection'of colors than the fair ; her
complexion not being so delicate, is less
sensitive. The hair being the medium,
between gold and black; and the com
plexion Incrher toned and more Doaitive.
rich and moderately dark colors may be
used. ,..
Green is very becoming, but it must
be ot the darker shades, and not the del.
icate green, that is so becoming for the
Fair Blonde. . If the complexion is light
and can use more red, without being
overcharged, rich, full-toned green, such
as grass or moss-green may be used, as,
although sufliciently bright, to yield
color to the skin, it is not so powerful a
contrast as to bleach it In proportion
as the complexion increases in color a
deeper green may be selected, passing
from the positive to the neutral hues, as
sage tea or olive erreen. These deep.
neutral greens do not cast much red,
while they both harmonize with and re
duce the natural hue. A simple rule for
the ruddy blonde is, the paler her com
plexion, tne Drignter must be the green
tine wears tne rosier tne cheek the deep.
er and more neutral must be the green.
For the high-toned blonde the green
may be neutralized rose, scarlet, orange,
or white flowers. It on the inside ot
bonnet the colored flowers must be sur
rounded with some gray or semi-trans
parent material to keep from contrast
with the skin. On the outside, dead
green 'or autumnal leaves, with a few
flowers of orange or scarlet are selected.
Hose-colored flowers harmonize better
with bright.yellow-grean than with dead
greon leaves.
Blue also is suitable, but it follows
the same rule as green it must be deep-
er and richer for the ruddy blonde" than
for the frtir. Th best colors to associate
with. the", rich blue.ara orange, salmon,
and chocolate. White and black also
harmonize with blue. Bonnets and
head-dresses, and wreaths of blue, need
the same oolors blended as for, tho-fair
blonde, only of a deeper' tint, and alt
colors pointed out as injuries by the one
type must be avoided by the other. The
most difficult color to' introduce in any
dress is violet. Its effects on all com
plexions is unsatisfactory. All fckins
appoar yellow when in contrast with it,
ana look sickly and disagrooable. A
large proportion of yellow is needed to
reduce and neutralize the effects of vio
let. It becomes positively lost in artifi
cial light, and should never be used or
introduced into an evening dress. Neu
tral colors are moBt suitable for the rud
dy blonde ; when light they increase the
color, when dark they reduce it by con
trast. Kusset, gray, slate, maroon, and
all shades of brown, are the most pleas
ing of the dark neutrals, and gray, drab,
fawn, and stone color, the most desira
ble of the light neutrals.
In Pursuit of 1 Dorado.
The history of early American adven
ture and exploration has its fairylike
romance in the expiditions set on foot to
find El Dorado, the country of gold, and
those whose object was to discover what
would have been more useful even than
the land of untold and untellable wealth,
the Fountain of Perpetual Youth.
When we read of these expeditions,
the names and titles of the leaders, and
the knights who followed in their train,
it seems as if it could not be sober his
tory, but that, by some mischief in the
imps of the printing-room, a page of the
Seven Champions of Christendom has
slipped into the dull chronicles ; as if,
some day that the sober Muse of History
nodded over her endless labors, wild and
tricksome Fancy had written down the
leaf and turned it hastily over, unper
ceived and undiscovered. But it was
not so. It is all plain fact. The stub
born pursuit of the northwest passage
to India through the treacherous ice of
the north is not more real than the hunt
for El Dorado, or for the Fountain of
Youth. Sir Walter Raleigh's fate alone
revives our recollections, and the fablo
was real enough to lure him to his ruin.
Among these expeditions was one
which led to the discovery of the Ama
zon, and, tailing to give the clue to tA
Dorado, gave a new fable of the tribe of
female warriors whose ancient proto
types have given the common name of
the river.
Peru had fallen beneath the power of
Pizarro. His brother, Qonzale Pizarro,
led away by tales of Paititi, a golden
city and golden land west of the Peru
vian mountains, set out in 1542, with
four hundred companions, through the
wild, unbroken torest, to reduce a realm
which, in splendor and renown, was to
cast his brother's achivement into the
shade.
Plodding on through the tangled
masses of tropical vecotation. without a
guide or a chart, startled by bird and
beast ol strange hue and lorui and habits,
taking the notes of the deep-toned bell
bird for the chime of some distant city,
the party of Pizarro began to falter.
Then Orellana was sent with a detach
ment to push rapidily on and solve the
great problem.
U. he main body followed, but in vain
they awaited Orellana's return. Death
and battle thinned their ranks, and the
remnant reached the confluence of the
Coca and Napo, pale, attenuated, more
like ghosts than living men. Starvation
seemed their only prospect as tney cast
themselves down beside the great river
which rolled away betore them.
.But relief was nearer than they thought.
Un tne opposite snore was the one
faithful man in Orellana's party.
Sanchez de Vargas had retused to go
on when Urellana resolved to make his
way to the sea and leave Pizarro to his
tate.
Here he had remained, and his wood-
craft had taught him to find in the
forest abundant nourishment in the nuts,
the fruits, and the turtle-ejrgs that Na.
ture had supplied.
lie soon loined the starving: men : not
to tell of the discovery of Paititi and its
wealth and more than oriental luxury,
but to reveal to rizarro the secret ot
Orellana's absence the story of his de
sertion.
But he could tell of the rich stores of
food to be gathered ; and, recruited with
these, loaded with a supply, Pizarro,
after overcoming the terrible disappoint
ment, which hud well-nigh cost him
reason and life itself, commenced his
march back to the realm of the Iiicas,
with the faithful De Vargas at his side.
The golden-rooled city of Paititi is
still untound.
Ancient Bull-I'Iaylug.
Greek writers mention five modes of
playing ball; one, where the ball was
thrown high into the air, and the per
sons who played tried to catch it betore
it touched the ground. Here we have
one of the features of the game of base
ball of tho present day, excepting that
we use a bat to send the ball upward,
instead of throwing it. Another game
is mentioned, where the ball, instead of
being thrown up, is thrown a long dis
tance near the ground, which will an
swer to throwing to the bases in the
game as now played. A third game,
described as being popular, consisted in
one of the players, when pretending to
throw it to a certain individual, turning
suddenly, and throwing it to another
player. - This also is a common mode of
practice with base ball players of the
present day. Hand ball, where the
player threw the ball to the ground
with such force as to cause it to re
bound, which was continued many
times, being struck down by the palm of
tne nana, is sun piayea by .the school
girls of the age. f oot-bull and tenn:

Writers of Roman history speak of two
kinds of ball, oila, which refers to
games played with a small ball like our

The former was the favorite; and the
prevailing mode waswhere threeper

of the precise features of base ball, the
first, second, and third bases ' forming
the triangle. The most skilful prided
themselves upon catching and throwing
the ball with their left hand. What can
come nearer to our national game than

How, Tcople Live Tod Fast. J
Tho word " fast 1 fjas latterly obtained
a peculiar significance as indicating a
tpjndency to general high living and in
dulgence in sensual pleasures. ' 'A man
of reckless, expenditure,, who indulges
himself in all that can gratify his sen
sual tastes, is a " fast man " in the com
mon sense of the term. This expressive
adjective has also been applied to those
who habitually risk money in games of
chance, and has in some instances been
coupled with the names of others who
inoculate in doubtful stocks.
iWe-have come to the conclusion that
sensual indulgence, exciting ' gamos of
chance, or speculation in fancy stocks,
are not the only ways in which men may
live too fast. : , .
Many a eodly and devout divine is a
fast man. Many an editor, lawyer, mer
chant, or scientific man, against whom
no thought of suspicion exists as to the
soundness of his moral character, is fast
in as just, though not in so reprehensi
ble a sense, as the man who wastes his
substance in riotous living.
Fast living, in the sense of such living
as shortens life, is a much more common
evil than it is generally regarded. We
nave been an observer ot faces and char
acter for a long time, as we have had op
portunity in our daily intercourse with
men, and we believe that in the vast ma
jority of cases it would be found that the
rapidity of the pulse is above the nor
mal standard, livery man s life may be
measured by pulse-beats. He will live,
accident excepted, to make a definite
number of these, and his life will be
shortened in proportion to the excess of
work performed by his vital organs in a
given time.
Excitement, physical or mental, is the
cause of the rapid rate at which most
people are living.' The love" for excite
ment is a vice, as positively evil in its
effects as the love for strong drink, li
centiousness, or gambling. It matters
not what kind of excitement ; all excite
ment is fast living, and begets a feeling
of exhaustion in intervals of indulgence,
which clamors for relief from some other
form of stimulant. '
Thus it is that the universal demand
for artificial' stimulants has increased,
until there is perhaps not one in a thou
sand who does not resort to something
of this kind. Alcohol, absinthe, opium,
hashish, tobacco, coffee, tea, or whatever
else it may be, is taken to support the
system under the effect of nervous pros
tration, and to supply in another form
the excitement which it craves.
Now, all this is just the reverse of
what should be the case. Instead of
seeking excitement, health and long life
demand that we should shun it. The
natural, healthy condition of the mind
and body is that of unruffled calmness.
If excitements occur, they should be ex
ceptional, not the rule of life. As soon
as they become a necessity, there is
a diseased state of mind and body, and
the candle begins to burn at both ends.
Petroleum as Fuel.
The question of utilizing crude petro
leum for the purposes of fuel, which has
attracted the attention ot many scien
tific and practical men ever since the
discovery of that article, seems at last to
be in a fair way of solution. A series of
remarkable experiments have hitherto
been tried to utilize the immense heat
producing power of petroleum, and
three diiterent plans were tested by the
Navy Department in 1S67. These, how
ever, all brought petroleum into direct
contact with fire, and were therefore
fraught with much danger as well as
many chemical difficulties.
The great aim, therefore, was to dis
cover a process whereby the tendency
to carbonization should be overcome.
This dimculty has been done away
with.
The apparatus consists of a cylinder,
like a small locomotive boiler set on end,
with a small cylinder within it, the in
tervening space being filled with petro
leum. The smaller cylinder is filled
with six hundred small copper tubes,
and through these the superheated steam
passes, producing vapor from the oil
that fills the interstices between the
tubes. This vaporized oil rises through
a layer of prepared sponge, and just at
the point ot exit is mixed with super
heated steam in any required propor
tion, thus producing hydrocarbon gas.
This gas passes through iron tubes to
the point where the luel is needed, and
is there burned, very much like common
gas. In the case which was shown the
kiln was filled with stone, and in a very
short time after the fire was lighted the
heat was more intense than can be ex
pressed by comparison. All this time
the fire was under perfect control, and
by a simple turn ot a screw the combus
tion was made more or less intense. The
experiment was varied by admitting
greater or less proportion of steam into
the pipes, so that in some cases the fire
was fed with fifty per cent, or more of
water, and the remainder of vaporized
oil. (. tucago r.tenmg Mail.
Precious Stones and Millstones.
A rich nobleman was showing a friend
a great collection of precious stones,
whose value was almost beyond count
ing. There were diamonds, and pearls,
and rubies and gems from almost every
country on the globe, which had been
gathered by the possessor with the
greatest labor and expense ; " and yet,"
he remarked, "they yield me no in
come." His friend replied that he had
two stones which cost him about ten
florins each, yet they yielded him

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. T
EsciusTf Watercress Gnowrf TS' A
Ttot Bed. A 1 correspondent in the
Gardener's Montltly gives the following
novel method of growing watercress,
which will certainly be new to most
readers, as it is to us. It is at any -rate
worth the trial, as the flavor of this
plant is pleasing to niOBt palates. That
there is a great difference in flavor be
tween that grown in a fine running
stroam and where it is all but dry, every?
body who "knows anything about the
plant will readily admit. It is possible
that the exciting atmosphere of a hot-'
bed may, in a measure, have the same
effect on this plant that running water
does that is, render the plant more
crisp, and less peppery in flavor:
"Permit me to recommend through
your valuable Monthly the most whole
some and most productive of all salads
grown in winter and in spring, and yet
the cultivation of it is little known, and
almost entirely neglected by those who
do know. This watercress is a native of
Great Britain, and is found wild in the
small streams more or less through the
whole country, and is cultivated on a
large scale around London. Although
this creBS is considered amphibious it
thrives better in an ordinary hot-bed,
from October until April, than at any
season growing in its natural element,
exposed to the climate. I find three
sash ample tor a moderate family from
October until April, and requires no re
planting. I whitewash the glass, and
give very little air except when raining,
which saves watering, which it requires
at least once a week. A full crop can be
cut every three weeks. I generally cut
one-third of a sash each time, so always
get a succession. About the first of
April a quantity of plants should be
transterred to some cool, wet place,
where they will live during summer and
be ready for the hot-bed in the falL'"
The IIoney Trade. This article,
which, twenty-five years ago, formed
quite an insignificant article of trade in
this country, is rapidly increasing year
after year in domestio production ; whilst
the amount imported is growing smaller.
in lsou the total product ot honey ot
the United States reported, was 'J-Viblv
337 pounds. New York stood at the
head ot the list, with '2,;jtAl, io-I pounds,
followed in order by North Carolina,
2,050,909 pounds; Kentucky, 1,708.692
pounds; Missouri, 1,585,983 pounds;
Tennessee, 1,519,390 pounds; Ohio, 1,459,

489 pounds ; all other States falling be
low 1,000,000 pounds. In the winter of
18(58-09, the Department ot Agriculture
sent out circulars to known apiarians in
most of the States, and received returns
from 489 counties in 32 States. The ag
gregate number of hives reported was
1 22,38 j. Estimating for counties not re
porting, and making due allowance for
the fact that many of the counties re
porting were giving special attention to
bee culture, 2,000,000 of hives were
deemed as low a figure as the returns
would warrant. Allowing fifteen pounds
of surplus honey to the hive (about two
thirds of the average reported,) the total
product in 1808 would be 30,000,000
pounds, which, at an average valuation
of 22-J cents per pound, would give
10,750,000. When we consider that the
cost of production is merely nominal, it
will be seen that it pays to keep bees.
How to Keep a Cnrax from Froth
ixo Oveb. Happening one day to visit
the house ot a mend who kept a cow
and made butter, I there saw a simple
method he used to overcome the great
trouble of all butter makers using the
old-fashioned upright churn, viz : His
plan was as follows ; Take the body of
the churn and cut a groove around the
inside of the mouth, about three inches
from the top and three eighths of an inch
deep, and then remove half the thickness
of the wood, making a shoulder all
around ; then take the cover and cut it
to fit nicely inside, and you have now
done away with all the old nuisances of
cloths, tubs, pans, etc., heretofore re
quired to save the cream that flowed
over. Any man, almost, can do this, or
the churn may by taken to a carpenter
and treated for a few cents. Many an
idea of less consequence than this, is
patented, but all may take this one for
what 1 gave tor it.
Not a Bad Idea. It is said of
shrewd merchant that he has his bill
heads printed upon paper of three differ
ent colors red, green, and white. W hen
the bill is made out upon red paper it
denotes " danger, and the messenger is
not to leave the goods without the cash
if on green paper, it means " caution,"
as the customer is doubtful, and tne man
is to get the money if he can ; if on white,
it is safe to leave any quantity of goods
on credit.
