Suits of bunting nre very fashion able. The prevailing color* are dark blue, ivory, vine and black—all acceptable dye*. Tlie latest hnt* in Paris are made of nothing but fl .wers arranged, not as iiead dresses, but iu the ordinary hat Parasols of ecru bunting, over colored silk, with ivory handle*, fastened with a ribbon taiw and pearl orniiineut*, arc the latest novelty in sunshade*. There is quite a revolution in neck garnitures. Paris, the crude of fashion, has sent out a number of cunning modes for throat embellishments ; some of the styles an- indeed replete with lovelin* ss. Crepe lisse ruches are very efb etive, and have the happy knock of becoming almost every one. Thev come from single to quadruple; some are equal in height, while others have each edge lower than tlie other. Torch >ii or Smyrna lace i* very much admired iu finishing a morning toilet for promenade and shopping wear. This innovation in lace n lat is rather sur prising, since the j reference is given to a style of lnee that cannot possibly lay any claims to refined beauty of finish or elegance in design. Toilet* of all kinds for this and next SCAMOU'* wear will largely partake of the flower garniture. Bouquet* arranged on tlie train skirt and down the front, a little to one Hiita". A cluster of Flora'* offerings placed on the left nhoulder gives a freshly smiling finish to th'* toilet. Ou the left Kale of the throat aud at tli® end of tlie dcmi-slcevea should be small bunches of half blown flowers. The Human Face. The countenance of every nation de fines the characteristics of its people. Every human face indicates the moral training as well as the temperament and ruling traits of it* owm r, just as much as every human form indicates the quality and amount of its physical exer cise. This is proven by the variety of human faces everywhere visible. Those whose lives have been given to physical labor, unbrigliteued by an education of ideas, have always a stolid, stupid ex pression, even while their limbs and muscles are splendidly developed. The more savage tlie people, the uglier tliey are in faciul development. The very features of their faces are disfigured by violent and ungoverued passions. Peo ple whose employments are intellectual have invariably a large, clear gaze, a bright, outlaying expression, as if from aii inward light shining through a vane. \\ here a fine organization and a deep sensibility accompany the practice of in tellectual jiursuits, often tiie features take on a transparent luminous look. Persons endowed with powerful sensi bility, however plain their features, always have moments of absolute beauty. ILe total manufactures of silk iu this country for the past year are valued at $26,693,108. THE CENTRE REPORTER. \ Tilltl 1.1.1 Nt< WI IMI M'tlltY.

On the feeon.l Thursday following the dis aster, the rescuers came near enough to communicate with the entombed. Shouting at the top of his voice, a miner asked : " How many of theiu are you?"

Between two and three o'clock in tlie afternoon, the men, who had been living for quite ten days in a tomb far underground, once again caine into the light of day and breathed the free nir of the upper world. By n happy coincidence, when the lust mnn was brought to bank and was lieiug conveyed on a stretcher covered with blankets into the hospital, a mes sage was received from the queen. Mr. Parker, one of the officers of the com pany, mounted a tram, and, with a loud voice,said: "A message from the queen." There was a rush of tteople forward,and, the miners and all others having uncov ered, it was read. This was followed with ringing cheers and waving of caps. The message was as follows: "Baldiilpli, Osborne, to Mr. Wales, mine inspector, Pontypridd: Tlie queen is very* anxious for tie- last accounts of the jas.r men in the mine. Arc they saved ? Pray tt the candles. The tirst two days they had a light, hilt this went out at the close of tlie second day. They suffered terribly from thirst, During the imprisonment, and while tlie work of rescue was going on, many prayer meetings were held in the district ami the men commended to the mercy of ftod. It should not be forgotten ns one of the many incidents connected with the thrilling affair that the four men who first escaped and the poor fellow who was their companion and subsequently suffered death, when surrounded by water, took, s they thought, aii eternal farewell of each other, and then sang a well known hymn in Welsh, of which the following is n translation: In tlie deep and mighty water* There i* none to hold mv head But my only .Savior, JC-IIH, Who ntH (.laugl'tored iu my atcad. lb-, a friend in Jordan's river.

To presume she would absolutely court n collision with the greatest naval power in th*- world is to presume slid would suddenly become n,- infatuated as Turkey. It is sometimes assumed that Constantinople might, be taken by n dashing attack, but, in reality, it is one of tlie strongest places ill tlie world. The Turks might, so long ns they com mand tlie sea, hold it single-handed, nnd, perhaps, the ktiowle Ig.'of this tact adds emphasis to Russia's declaration that she will not seize Constantinople. At all events, it sufficiently rebukes cries of nnd gnificd alarm, and undisguised ap peals to ignorant {Mission. England can afford to regard the present contest calmly, for the simple reiuton that it will be perfectly well able to defend its in terests if and when they are attacked.

Illal* Trsaaplaaltaa- The art of transplanting trees, shrub* and vines is only learned bv exjwricuce, close oltservation and a strict adherence to the laws that govern vegetable grow th. Any unskilled laborer can dig up and reset a tree or vine; but tins doe* not insure life, health aud vigor. There is a well adjusted balance between the ristts nnd branches of every tree or v:i,e. Trained practical gardener* reooguixe this fact, and the importune*' .u Lrans planting or removiug carefully all the r<* Js j*'**ible, and especially Uie fine, fibrous ones, such a* take up and furnish the nourishment. T<> save enough of these root* in trausplanting large sumd tre. *, it is lus-essary to know the habit* of growth of tree* and vine*. For in stance, the Scotch or white pine* with their long, fleshy root*, and omiiuirative ly few litiroiis ones near tlie tasty of the tne, rcjuire more care m removing than tlie Norway wmee with its mass of fibrous txsits elusb rtsi around .and near the tasly. Tlie ta-st way in all cases is to dig a narrow trench around the tasly, *- ane duitano' fr Ma the tree, deep enough to get below the lower tier of roots. In making this circle the flat of the siwale should not lie placed toward the tasly of the tree. The top soil ou the "ball," near the body, should ta- removed bv a digging-fork or other implement that will not cut or injure tlie small raU.

A gentleman of this* city, however, re cently related to us a story iu regard to the lizards of Nevada which seems to confirm the jsissibihty of their enduring intense lieat, for a short time at least. The black lizards of that sagebrush State are very easily domesticated, j harmless, sociable and intelligent. This gentleman had several jnff lizards, one of which lived near a furnace where he burned retorts or molds for silver bul lion. This work required a very hot fire, which he had made open at each end. The lizard would sit on the tree near by watching him, and his dog would frequently chose it if it ventured to the grouud and eomjH'l it to take to the tree again. Frequently, however, the lizard, appa rently for the sjxirt of the thing alons, would dash down from the tree and in duce the dog to give it a sharp race, when it would run right through the fnrnace.coming out of the other end like a flash, unscathed, while the d<>g, in his eagerness, would ta> burnt at the fire before he could stop. This would be a daily occurrence, and the lizard actually seemed to enjoy the joke on the dog. Tlie time that the lizard or salamander was in the fire was very short, and it doubtless could Mot have remained there very long. Coercing sn Audience. lino of tlie iK>ot* of the first empire, Neponmoene Lctuereier, wrote n tragedy, w l.ose hero wo* Christopher Columbus. He had in it violated the unities, which Frenchmen for years considered au in violable law of tragedy. When Lemer cier's piece was played, tlie students hissed it with great vehemence. Napo leon admired Lemercier, and when he heard the tragedy had been hissed, lie ordered it played again. It was again hissed. He became furious. He order ed it to IM> played a third time, and weut j to the theater accompanied by a regi ment of soldiers. The first nnd second acts were heard in silence. It was nt the third act that the hisses were most vig orous. When the curtain rose ou the third net, Napoleon leaned over his l>ox, and looked nt Hie students to set 1 if they would dare oppose his known will in his presence. What should he see but the whole audience, from the pit to the last tier, wearing nightcaps, and pretending to be fast asleep. The sight was so odd, Napoleon could not holp laughing, and he gave up nt tempting to support the trsgsdy. NUMBER 22. ( via* of the World.

A Hydrophobic Cow. A cow in Brooklyn, N. Y., was re cently attacked with symptoms of hydro phobia, and was consequently put to death bv i tine stable meu. when one of the employees went to the stable he lu/.c i tile cow frothing at the moutli and biting at the stall. It was let hwse in the yard, where the symptoms con tinued. * After a short time it jumped through a window aland four feet from the ground. It rushed by the horses and suapjied at them, but did not bite. The cow was captured by the stablemen aud tied in the stall. A veterinary surged) was wnt for, and found that the animal was suffering from hydrophobia in a most malignant form. An officer of tbe Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was sent for, but the cow was killed liefore his arrival. It is supposed Hint the animal had been bitten by n mad dog, who must have entered the stable and left it unobserved by the workmen. This might easdy have hap pened, a the door waa frequently left open. The leather Medal.
