Fashion Notes.
IMch articles of Ince are growing into
favor.
Out jot beads are very much in de
mand. Duohep.se lace has taken the place of
point lace.
Sleeves are as small as mny.be worn
with comfort.
The plainest and simplest of draperies
are preferred.
Laces and fnr trimmings are beauti
fully studded with pearl beads.
Among tho choice novelties of lingerie
are "Duohcsse ends" on Mull neckties.
Tho latest style of dolman has short,
square Hungarian sleeves and a pelerine
front. "
Yokes and pleated and gathered waists

Half-blossomed flowers, with scant
foliage is tho latest transition for bridal
garnitures.
Very fine colored embroideries are
seen on many of the newest styles of
handkerchiefs
Yokes, or trimmings producing yoke
effects, are very popular for very young
ladies' dresses.
Colored embroideries appear on many
of the handsomest sets of white collars
and deep cuffs.
Scarfs of crepe lisse, with the ends
embroidered in silks of Oriental colors,
are pretty novelties.
Handsome wedding dresses of corded
pearl white silk, are trimmed with pleat
ings of English crape.
Very wide linen collars and deep cuffs
are richly embroidered and trimmed
with frills of fine Torchon lace.
Yellow, of all shades, is very much in
vogue with blondes and brunettes, white
with yellow, is accepted, instead of black.
Tinsel galloons and "cloth of gold"
are trimmings now worn in Paris but
will not now appear here until the fall
season.
Maorame laoe work, in the form of
tidies, bureau mats and chair covers, is
the favorite fancy work for ladies at the
moment.
Gold embroidery, in fringes, lace,
tassels, balloons, passementeries, in ev
erything, in fact, is worn in Paris, both
iu the morning and evening, but it is
vulgar for all that.
Cardinal capes, dolman mantles, and
fichu mantelets are trimmed in mnny
cases with several rows of fluted blnck
Spanish or French lace, headed with
moonlight and rainbow jet galloons.
Combination suits are very much liked
observe that in the imported suits of
this character, one of the colors is always
dull, while the reBt are brilliantly dis
tinct and often of the most delicate
tints.
Words of Wisdom.
it is but poor eloquence which only
shows that the orator can talk.
If what is said be not to the purpose
a single word is already too much.
Wo can hardly learn humility and
tenderness enough, except by suffering.
As nothing truly valuable can be ob
tained without iudustry, so there can be
no persevering industry without a deep
sense of the value of time.
Too much reproach " o'er leaps itself,
and falls on t'other side." Pricked too
harply, the delinquent, like a goaded
bull, grows sullen and Savage, and the
persecution continuing, ends in rushing
madly on the spear that wounds him.
The most common error of men and
women is that of looking for happiness
somewhere outside of useful work. It
has never yet been found when thus
sought, and never will be while the

"The Blarney Stone."
We all know, sava a writer in Cham.
ber'a Journal, what blarney is that
soft, sweet speech in which the sons and
daughters of Erin excel. Such speech
is wen named blarney, and carries us
back to the hero that made it a household
word. He was one " Gormuck Macar
thy, who held the Castle of Blarney in
1602, and concluded an armistice .with
Carew, the Lord President, on condi
tion of surrendering the fort to the Eng
lish garrison. Day after day his lord
ship looked for the fulfillment of the
terms, but received nothing except pro
tocols and soft speeches, till he became
the laughing-stock of Elizabeth's minis
ters and the dupe of the lord of Blar
ney." The Blarney Stone is a triangu
lar stone lowered from the Castle about
twenty feet from the top, containing on
it the inscription : " Cormnck Macarthy
tortis nie fieri fecit, A. D., 1446." Who
ever kisses this stone is supposed to be
endowed with irresistible, powers pf
persuasion. j

Every now and then the telegraph
heralds the news of the death, of one of
Washington's body guards, or of some
one who - had seen the father of bis
country, or had remembered something
about the trying times of revolution at
the birth of the American Republic, and
all simply because the heroes of these
mortuary records manage to bridge over
with a full use of their limbs and facul
ties the meagre span of a hundred years
or so. In comparison with some of the
remarkable instances of longevity which
the St. Louis Evening rout has collected
for the benefit of its readers, these poor
centenarians are almost mere infants.
A Cincinnati paper mentioned, re
cently, that one 8onor Mosel was still
living iu South America at the remark
able age of one hundred and thirty-five
years. Mosel claims that he has dis
covered the secret of longevity, and it
consists simply in observing the laws of
nature faithfully by taking the proper
amount of exercise required each day by
the body and mind, and conducting
one's self in accordance with the rules of
health. He eats very sparingly, taking
but one meal a day, and that in the eve
ning after he has finished his day's
labors, satisfying himself in the morning
with a single cup of coffee. He says he
wns never sick but once in his long life
time, and that was after he had, on one
occasion, eaten some green apples. He
in said to be still comparatively strong
in limb, able to do the necessary work
that his duties require of him as well as
to give nature its daily share of exercise,
and still retains his faculties apparently
as bright and sharp as if he were but in
the years of ordinary manhood.
The oldest woman in the world is sup
posed to be Mary Benton, now residing
nt Elton, in the county of Durham,
England. She was born on the 12th of
February, 1731, and is of course in her
148th year. She is in possession of all
her faculties, perfect memory, hearing
and eyesight. She cooks, washes and
irons, in the usual family avocations,
threads her needle and sews without
spectacles.
It is a matter of statistical fact that in
the district of Geezeh, which includes

Old Thomas Parr, of Winuington,

He was covered from head to foot all
over with a thick cover of hair.
Henry Jenkins lived to the extraor
dinary age of 160 years. At the age of
1C0, he walked a journey to London to
see King Charles II. The king intro
duced Jenkins to his queen, who took
much interest in him, putting numerous
questions to the patriarch, amongst
which she asked, Well, my good man,
may I ask of you what you have done
during the long period of life granted to
J ron, more than any other man of shorter
ongevity ?" The old man, looking tho
queen in the face, with a bow, naively
replied, ' Indeed, madam, I know of
nothing greater than becoming a father
when I was over a hundred years old ?"
He replied to the king that temperance
and sobriety of living had been the

Theie died, a couple of years ago, in
Philadelphia, a Mrs. McElroy, a native
of Northampton county, Pennsylvania,
who had arrived at the remarkable age
of 118 years. It appears she inherited
the constitution of her father, who was
a Gorman, and who lived to be 107
years old. She remembered the occur
rence of the principal events of the Rev
olution, and she frequentlv provided
food for the American soldiers. She had
a distinct recollection of Gen. Washing

age, she was married to John McElroy,
a revolutionary soldier, by whom she
had seven children, four of whom are
now living, two of them being twins.
She had a remarkably vigorous constitu

forbidden fruit that was daily the food
of the short-lived persons about them.
They have cai efully discarded whatever
would injure them, and have found
sufficient enjoyment in the good things
that nature does not revolt against.
Then again there is another thing that
tends to influence the years of a person's
existence, and that is the occupation in
whioh the individual is engaged. Cer
tainly an employee in white lead
manufactory cannot expect to live as tho
man whose days are spent in the fields,
drinking in the great draughts of pure
aud invigorating atmosphere, nor must
the assiduous boy student hope to attain
the same robust maturity that falls to
tho lot of the street gamin. From the
following statistical figures the truth of
this assertion will readily be ascertained:
Of 888 clergymen whose ages were
obtained ninoty died at 61.77 years, 123
at sixty -five, 303 at 62.55 and 372 at
64.47.
Of phvsicians,194 average 60.23 years,
and of this number forty-two lived 63.99
years; and 154 reached 64.94.
David Rennet, a physician of Rowley,
Mass., died in 1719, aged 103 years, two
months and three days. Edward Au
gustus Holyoke died in Salem in 1829,
at the age of 100 years, seven months ;
and Hezekiah Merian, of Ward, who
died in 1803, and John Crocker.of Rich
mond, who died iu 1815, lived beyond
the age of 100 years.
Of lawyerR, reports afford less material
to judge of their longevity. The ages
of fifty-two are given, whose average
age was 46 68 years ; of fifty-three
others, 55 47 years. From this, it would
appear that they do not live so long as
clergymen and physicians ; though the
number of observations is too small to
found a correct opinion upon.
A table iu Chambers' Journal gives
the following as the average duration
ot life among a large number of profes
sional men in that country :
Statesmen and Lawyers 69.5
Physicians -. 68.0
Divines aud Theologians 67.4
Mn sical Composers 65. 7
Philosophers and Mathematicians. .65.5
Artists 64.5

Mr. Casper, of Berlin, Prussia, has
calculated that in that country the age
of seventy was attained by forty-two
clergymen in 100 ; by twenty-nine law
yers ; by twenty-eight artists ; by twenty-seven
professors, and twenty-four
physicians. Dr. Madon, in England, in
comparing the average age of celebrated
meu of different classes, found that
naturalists lived seventy-five years ;
philosophers, sculptors and painters,
seventy ; lawyers, sixty-nine; physician's,
sixty-eight ; clergymen, sixty-seven.

duration of life in several professions,
businesses and occupations, derived
from a series of extended observations
made by persons who interest them

An Uninvited Wedding Guest.
Another industry of Paris was lately
revealed. It seems there are a number
of men here who enjoy good dinners at
the expense of their neighbors by an
ingenious trick. They watch for mar
riages, mingle with the bridal party and
take their seats at the lunch and dinner
table. The bride's family make sure he
is ono of the groom's friends and treat
him with profound respect. The
groom's family seeing courtesies shown
him by tho bride's family think he must
be some rich uncle, who will leave a
slice of his plum-cake to the bride, and
then redouble their attention to con
vince him he is not going to lose his
niece by the marriage. But it some
times happens that marriage dinners
here are not found by the families. It
is agreed with the guests that each per
son shall pay his or her share of the
dinner's cost. Into just such an enter
tainment Monsieur Pique Assiette fell
the other night. He must have gotton
out of bed with his left foot foremost
that morning. When the waiter handed
around the plate for each person's soot,
Monsieur Pique Assiette, fumble as he
might in his pockets, could find only a
ten cent piece the waiter wanted $3.
The bride's family whispered to the
groom's family: "Shall we advance
the 83 to your friend ?" " Our friend I
why isn't he yours ?" We never laid
eyes on him before." Monsieur Pique
Assiette looked like a sneak-thief, hard
caught in a steel trap. Explain I All
he could do was to stammer incoherent
nonsense. The police were about to be
called when the bride interfered and
said she could not bear that the first act
of her married life should be to send a
man to prison, so she would pay the un
bidden guest's soot. Although his heart
was in his boots, he had no heart for
daring, but took to his heels the instant
he saw the door open. This incident
made the wedding one of the merriest
seen iu Paris this long while and every
body agreed that the $3 - worth of fun
bought by the bride was very cheap.
Looking Glasses In Rat Traps.
A correspondent writes: "I do not
think it is generally known that rats and
mice will go into a trap much more
readily if a piece of looking glass is put
in any part of the trap where they can
see themsalves. They are social little
creatures, and where they can see any of
their tribe there thoy will go. I am
quite suio of the effect the looking glass
has, as I properly baited my trap for a
whole week without being able to coax
one of the depredators in; but the first
night after putting in the looking glass
I caught two one very large and one
small rat; and every sight sinoe, this
device has made one or more prisoners."
An exohange has an article telling
How matches are made." We sup
posed everybody knew it was by taking
young man and young woman, equal

Billy Bangs's Hat.
There are a great many people who
feel uneasy when the hat is passed
round, but a hat like this one must
trouble bad debtors worse than any
body else. A facetious reporter in the
City of Brotherly Love does np an odd
character there in the following fashion:
Billy Bangs is a collector of bad bills
in Philadelphia. Everybody knows
Billy there, and he collects the wowt
kind of bills bills that people were
willing to throw away if it were not for
Billy.
As it is, they give their bad bills to
Billy to collect. Billy Bangs wears a
very high hat a family relic. On the
top he has painted in flaming letters:
"Bad Bills Collected."
Thus arrayed, with everybody looking
at his hat, he goes and knocks at the
debtor's office stands around his door,
and makes the premises look generally
ridiculous until the debt is paid. Then
Billy takes fifty percent of it, and gives
the rest to his client.
Rooently, Billy Bangs was arrested.
He had gone and stood around Dr.
Dash's office a few days before. He call
ed three or four times.always showing his
high hat to passers-by. By-and-by, Dr.
Dash got angry, and he went and kicked
Mr. Bangs out kicked him clear across
the street.
Dr. DaBh testified that Billy Bangs
had damaged his good name that he
got all the neighbors to laugh at him,
and that he wos constantly doing this to
good citizens of Philadelphia who failed
to pay all their little bills.
The result was Billy's acquittal The
court said they had no right to regulate
Billy Bangs's hat, and that he could
wear a " plug " bat all covered with let
ters, with a town-clock on it, if he want
ed to. So Billy is now the terror of
everybody in Philadelphia who don't
pay.
A Banker's Whim.
A Paris banker, a self-made man who
had known the struggles of poverty in
his young days, had an old time-piece
over his bed when he breathed his last
a few weeks ago. When he was a boy
he used to say to himself : " When you
are rich, you will buy a picture-clock
representing a hamlet with its church
and in the steeple a clock ; and at the
foot of the village a railroad, with a train
in fnll motion, and on one side tho sea,
with ships sailing by. " All these things
were made to work by machinery in the
clock which the rich banker bought.
The train whistled and ran along the
line, and the ships were tossed in the
sea; and the key which set them in mo
tion was carried in the old gentleman's
Eocket. The clock had the place of
onor in his drawing-room, surrounded
by paintings which cost their weight iu
gold, and there it remained for years.
His wife and ckildren did not like it.
They laughed at it. They could not
understand his whim. They did not
know of all the old dreams which that
picture awakened in him. His friend 8
laughed at him for letting it remain in
lhe drawing-room. So he took it into
his own room. Whenever he wanted to
renew his youth he would wind up the
old clock, and then the steeple wonld
chime, the sea roar, the ships toss back
wards and forwards, and he would feel
as happy as in the old days when ho
used to dream jtbout the wonderful
treasure. ; i
Life is not so full of attract ions, to the
small boy of to-day as it was to his
father. A generation ago there were
nearly fifty circus shows on the road,
and this year there are only thirteen.

A Debatable luenttoii.
While much has been written concerning the
use of " put up " medicines, tbe question is
still an open one, and demands of the people a
careful consideration. The salient points may
be briefly stated, and answered as follows :
1st Are the sick capable of determining their
real condition, tie nature of their malady, and
selecting the proper remedy or means of cure ?
2d Can a phyrxian, no matter how skillful,
prepare a universal remedy, adapted to the
peculiar ailments of a large class of people, re
siding in different latitudes, and subject to
various climatic influences ? In answer to the
first proposition, we would say, diseases are
named and known by certain " signs " or symp
toms, and, as tbe mother does not need a
physician to tell her tbat her child has the
whooping cough, or indicate a remedy, so peo
ple when afflioted with many of tbe symptom
concomitant to " impure blood," " torpid
liver," and ' bad digestion." require no other
knowledge iof their condition, or the remedy
indicated, thin they already possess. Second
proposition Many physicians argue tbat dis
eases an) sectionally peouliar, and that treat
ment mi nt therefore vary, aud yet quinine,
morphiue, podopbyllin, and hundreds of other
remedies are prescribed in all countries to over
come certain conditions. Is it not, therefore,
self-evident that a physician whose large ex
perience has made him familiar with the many
phases incident to all impurities of the blood,
general and nervous debility, liver complaint,
dyspepsia, consumption, and catarrh, can pre
pare a series of remedies exactly adapted to
meet the conditions manifest, wherever, and
by whatever means, it may have been engen
dered ? The family medicines prepared by B.
V. Pierce, M. D. of Buffalo, N. Y., f ulfill the
above requirements. Many physicians pre
scribe them in their practice. His Golden
Medical Discovery has no equal as a blood
purifyer and general tonio, while his Favorite
Prescription cures those weaknesses peculiar
to women after physicians hare failed. His
Pleasant Purgative Pellet, which are sngar
coated and little larger than mustard seeds,
are a safe and certain care for " torpid " liver
and constipation. If you wish to save money

Happily, the enfeebled system, .even in ex
treme oases is susceptible of invigoration. It
is proved by incontrovertible evidence that
Hostetter'i Stomach Bitters is an unfailing
strengthener of the weak, and that, in addition
to vitalizing the physical organisation, it
establishes regularity among those organs up
on .whose efhoient discharge of the duties im
posed on them bynatore, continued vigor and
health depend. Thousands of instance might
be cited to show the regenerating influence of
this hoalth-giving agent in oases of debility,
liver disease ,dyspepma, nervous ailments, con
stipation, intermittent fever, urinary and uter
ine troubles, gout and rheumatism, aud other
maladies.

Co-operative
Newspapers.
Between two and three thousand newspapers in the
United (States are printed upon what is known ae lhe
Oo-opprative plan. Nearly forty per cent, of all the
weeklies adopt this method. It makes a better paper
at a lower cost, and is specially suited for the require
ments of papers iu small towns and villages. The sys
tem maintains a competition with the home printed
country journals to such an extent that none but those
firmly established and banked up by acoummulations of
former prosperity are able to stand beside it, And in
the matter of advertising it offers circulation at a
price with which the great weeklies are unable to
compete. The matter has become of vital importance,
and the New York Tim, a journal having a great
name, has commenced upon it a vigorous orusade. In
irs i innee of March 4th,lltb and 10th there appeared long
libelous articles. Kvery statement contained in them
reflecting discredit upon the Co-operative system is un
true. The undersigned have furnished the Times with
carnfnl answers, showing whmoin the articles pub
lished are untrue, aad the Time hai neglected and re
fused to give Hi em to the public. Despairing of jus tie
we sought to use the advertising columns of the Time
and these also have been closed to us. We hve there
fore no other resource than to apptal to the puhlic:
Our answers to the charges of the Timn are complete,
and cannot be refuted. They will be mai'ed to any
applicant. The onlv reason for the attack which we
know of is to bo found in the fact that we have inaugu
rated a system of advertising which gives an advprtisnr
four times ns much circulat ion for a dollar s is afforded
