The latest style of hosiery for children are double over the knee. Dark wine ami garnet are the favorite rvilors for children's hosiery. The most costly silk hwe have ovals f real laee inserted in the instep. Slippers have precedence over boots, in the moment, for the bridal toilet. Cream white of the medium shade is the most in favor for brides' dresses. Satin ribbon is used more than gro*- graiu for bonnet trimmings and strings. Bridal gloves are of cream or'pure whiAr kid, with from eight to twelve hattona. Underwear of spun silk, in cardinal red, are among the choice novelties in hosiery. The bridal fan and handkerchief should be of the same kiud of lace that trims the wedding robe. Bridal simpers are trimmed with pearl bead buckles and small bouquets of ore nge blossoms, or else bridal rose*. Creani color is shown in all shades. From dark Aldeniey cream, twenty-four hoars old, to full cream, just off from milk white. Tortoise-shell oruaiueut* for the hair or neck, and brooches. bracelets and watch eases of carved Neapolitan shell •re very fashionable. Corsets of satin—white, blue, red, rose color and gray—are worn over cardinal red spun-silk underwear by fsstidions and luxurious women. Wheu the bridal veil is of point lace, the fall over the laee is of tulle illustou, reachtug just to the waist, where it is fasteued on one side with a bridal bouquet. Very youthful brides wear Valeu ciennes and Mechlin laces, while those no longer in their teens or twenties select points de B rarefies, d'Alcncou, or Dnoheem. White silk stockings for bridal wear ore either plain, checked or embroidered on the side seams or instep, or have medallions or ovals inserted in the in step or sides of tine laces. Spun silk hosiery in broad nhs and Itigh colors—red, blue, black and brown —are worn in the coldest weather by delicately-organised women who cannot bear the contact of wool stockings. Black kid gloves, embroidered in silk to match the dres#aud with several rows of buttons, are the most stylish gloves tor ceremonious toilets. Perfumed gloves sre worn with elegant toilets. Their odor is delicate and lasting. Leather belts .re worn with Spanish buckles of iron, inlaid with gold and sil ver. Buttons occupy so large a field that any taste may be gratified in choosing. From agates and foreign pebbles, cut with great care and beauty, down to the papier mache trifle—cheap, yet blended with attractive colors—there is a great variety. Metal buttons for waistcoats and vests include a kind made of silver, gold and copper, in Japanese designs; those for evenn g dresses are of quartz, crystal and silk or satin, either painted by hand or embroidered. The diamond button is an expensive novelty for even ing dresses. \f> and {itiei lor Womra. Young ladies at Racine, Wis., are pivec to dressing in male attire and promenading the streets. Lucy Stone received one vote for sergeant-at-arms of the Massachusetts house of representatives. Senator Sargent's two daughters have both studied medicine, and the elJer, haviug been graduated, is prac ticing her profession in the Freedman's hospital in Washington. Florence Nightingale was engaged to marry Mr. Spot tee woode, one of the queen's printers, when the Crimean wsr broke oat, and the lady accepted a mission which she thonght higher than marriage. Harriet tioraer is complimented in the London World as the greatest of the few female sculptors who have ever lived, and one of the very few who have produced strong work and not mere prettiness. An English lady, whose hnsband is a governor of St. Bartholomew's hospital, has just given a hundred Nightingale jackets and fifty scrapbooks to the in stitution. The articles were the work of nearly a year. Olive Logan says that the duchesses, marchionesses and other noble ladies who write to her by penny-post can't spell, and don't understand grammar, although they are charming in face, form and manner. Dr. Holmes says: The true girl has to be sought for. She does not parade herself to show goods. She is not fash ionable. Generally she is not rich, but oh, what a heart she has when you find her f So iarge and pure and womanly. The day before a Turkish girl is mar ried she is taken to the bath by her lady friends, and lumps of sugar are broken over her head as a forecast of the sweets of matrimony. A year or so afterward her husband breaks the whole sugar bowl over her head. A Boston bride was so flurried with the novelty of the situation, the other day, that she walked up the broad aisle of the church in her woolen overshoes, and did not discover she had them on until turning to leave the altar she tripped in the folds of her satin train.

There died lately in Paris a hump backed man, who, for the previons fifty yeare of his life, had given his time to researches npon the humpbacked breth ren. His heirs found, instead of a will, a voluminous manuscript of two thou sand pages upon humps. He was rich, and traveled in every direction for in formation. It was in the milder regions f of Europe that he found the misfortune the most prevalent Spain supplied the greatest number, and in a circumscribed locality at the foot of the Sierra Morena there existed one humpbacked individ - ual to every thirteen inhabitants. They were also found very numerous in the valley of the Loire in France. The writer's conclusion was that for every thousand persons on the globe there was one humpback, or an aggregate of a million against the thousand millions of the entire earth. The last page of the manuscript contains the will of the deceased, which said nothing regarding the disposition of his property, but simply desired that a hump of marble should be raised upon his tomb with this inscription : " Here lies a bump back, who had a taste for humps, and knew more about them than any other humpback." Chinese Canals, The Egyptians cut many canals ; and this simple method of promoting in ternal communication is of unknown an tiquity. In China canals appears to have been one of the earliest evidences of civilization. The " Great Canal "in that country is a memorable example of this cla's of engineering exploits. It is said to have occupied a hundred and twenty years in its construction, and to have given employment to thirty thou sand men, occupying the entire four teenth century. It is about one thon sand miles in length ; and is supplied by a great number of streams from the ! flat conntiy Uaough which it flows. Strong dykes, formed of alternate layers of earth and straw, and sometimes cased with stone, prevent the water from over- j flowing the flat country. In some parts the canal is carried on an embankment twenty feet high, while on others it trtvttte* * cutting a hundred feet deep, i FARM. NAKDK* ASH HOUSEHOLD. A h'nrwrr mm ( ItmlMl Karalm. Mr. Conrad Wtleon, in an easay on •'Chemical Farming: its poasibiiittca and it* mistakes," illustrates the neces sity and value of chemical elements when) he eouditiona are right, and the | danger of them wheu flie conditions are wrong; ami further otoee includes au examination of the Mbwkliridge form ulas. 11l bia ie veal'.gat ion of the subject Mr. \Vbs>ti at the onset makes tins veiy essential distinction: While chemical elements are of great value to the farm er, it do>a not (oliow that chemical formulas are either valuable or safe. That tliev are in certain onsen well adapted alid anceeaafnl, and occasional ly gm sinking result i, is not denied. Hut the net veanlt of the yield, coat and , final profit that is claimed for them, on a general average can only be safely ao 1 ccpted when definitely proved. In re gam t.the ay stem of Professor Htock bridge the fundament*! principle of which Mr. Wilstwt adniils is sound, ami that aiinie of He* ivticlustnu* are true ami lmjawtaut he assert* it has not been swowvslul in adaptiug its formulas m Very many eases to the ueeda of the crop, and says that it is still more uufortunate ; . in not adaptiug them to the ueeilsof the ■' soil. "It is well known," he says, "that soils differ so of leu ami so w dely iu their couatitucut element* that a fer ' tilixer fitted to one is not necessarily suited to another; and that if wrongly appdied in a given ease it may entail a • leas instead of a gain. Yet there forma ts* uiake no distinction betwecu rieii I and poor laud, nor do they ever recog nice the fact that muuc soils have already , in sufficient amount one or more of the element* presented by this theory. A i plan u ore inconsistent than this, or more opjioaed to true ecouomy, eau hardly be conceived. It involves the necessity if app.ymg more plsnt (cod than is ueed d, ami the possibility of 1 using, iu some cases, three elements, two of which are not needed, iu orvler to make sure of one. The farmer," lie continues, " must adapt his fertilisers to ' the soil or else cease to apply them, for there is no other way to make chemical farming pay. If he di-e* not fully un derstand the soil he must be guided by the light he has, and get more as yoou as possible. If the chemist can't en lighten him he must look to bis cwu cxpcneuee, judgement aud skill, Ami jnst so far as lie is in the dark on this point, to that extent ids fertilizing is a game of chance. Every crop raised under a new theory is merely au exjmrt ment, however improperly performed. Each ray of light struck from the soil iu these experiments creates a new vaatie in husbandry and is often a new factor in the coat of production. It belongs not to one individual but to the whole oummuuitv of farmers."—AVic York World. Or,-Surd and.'tlardrn VMM. Tacks were driven in the bodies of trees from one to six years old on the grounds of the lowa agricultural college, and at the end of the season it was found that the distance between the tacks had not increased—thus illustrat ing the fact, familiar to botanists, that tree trunks do not elongate. Avoid hollows, ravines and any spongy black land. Even if well drained, snch land grows trees which are likely to be succulent and short-lived. Cold air set tles in the hollows, which arc colder than the bills; For au orchard, choose land that is high or relatively high. The land mar slope in either direction. There is not much choice unless the land is very steep. Professor Beat, Michigan. The Bural AVer Yorker says: We condemn tiic practice of heaping up the earth about the stems of fruit tree* a* generally recommended. Some say this mound will steady newly transplanted trees and will also tend to keep> away mice. The only effects of this mound, to our thinking, are to soften the bark underneath, rendering it more sensitive to the alternations of freezing and thaw ing in February ari l March, and to in duce sprouts from the part* so covered. One of it* readers sends an exchange the following note: Out of twenty-six witnesses I have examined in reference to the best way of managing an orchard after the trees have matured, nineteen of them say the less ploughing the bet ter—keep in grass and clover, and top dress with manure every fall. Two of them recommend plowing sha.iow every few years to let in the air, and five of them believe in " bog cultivation;" that is, let the hogs run in ibe orchard and root up the ground as thug please. All agreed that up to good bearing age, the cultivation of hoed crops, with'liberal dressings of manure, was the only proper way. Piants are often frosted through neg lect, and allowed to die through ignor ance. Those that have been quite severely nipped may be saved if treated rightly. An exchange says : The proper way is, when the fruet ha* been partially drawn ont of them, naturally, to drench them with cold water from a fine-rosed watering pot, and immediately cover again and let them so remain nntil they regain their natural color. When they are removed clip off ail such parts as are blackened. As soon as it is discovered that a plant has been touched by frost twnove it to a 0001, ilark room, and on no account suffer the snn to shine on it. ff they can be covered so as to exclude air as well as light, it is better still. Dahlias, carinas and the like need not be removed nntil the frosts are severe enough to blackeu the leaves. ( BlllTNllrif Komrm. I have for several years cultivated a few choice rose*. Last spring I added twenty to the number, and nearly all of them I set #nt in three or four-inch pots. In June I plunged these into the soil of my flower garden; two of my older roses and three of my new ones, however, were planted directly in the soil. All these roses were of the ever blooming sort. One of the three new roses that were set in the gronnd, aud only one, grew more luxuriantly and bloomed more abundantly than those in the pots. It was the charming rose bon silenr. It gave me six roses iu midsum mer, and then a new shoot sprang np from the roots, grew very rapidly, and pat forth three bnds, and a branch pnt forth two more, so in the autnmn I had five roees (eleven iu all) on that tiny bush. After potting and removing to the house in October. I let it rest a few weeks and then cnt off nearly all of its ; leaves; from the shoot referred to I re , moved every one. At this time, two weeks later, there are vigorous shoots more than an inch long, with three buds already peeping forth, where I cut off the leaves. Several years ago I was forced to strip ray bushes of their leave*, not knowing then how otherwise to get rid of the aphis, though I have since proved the virtues of hellebore Boon after thus despoiling the plant, it would repay my harshness by put ting forth new shoot* at the leaf-joints, crowned with buds. Some people are so careful of their bar ren rose plants that not a leaf must be cnt off, net u branch pruned, so they have naught but the unsightly bush to care for, whereas, if they wou'd cut down the old wood, thev mitrht be re warded by a new growth. A good rich soil is quite as essential as pruning ; also moisture and sunshine. 1 have seen people who have became discourag ed b: cause their new rose plants drop ped their leaves. No matter how green the stain, tbey exclaim, " My rose bush is dead ! " and by neglect they soon kill it. Had I pursued the same course, several of my choice plants, that have yielded lovely ros.es two months after setting out, would have been a failure. So long as there is life in the stalk there is hope that it will put forth and bud. .1/. D. W., in Vick's Magazine. Value of Apple* or Fodder. The value of apples for fodder for farm stock is one point on which all stock-growers agree who have had an opportunity o: giving this fruit a trial in connection with other rations. The I i chief objection to apples for this purpose —the liability of animalß choking on them—disappeared with the Introduc tion of root-cutters, anil farmers, espe cially those operating in climates which forbid grass during the entire year, are increasing the area devoted to orchards, with ■ view of disposing of any surplus I I 1 amount as fodder. Home of our pro i grcsmve dairymen, indeed, go further, and urge apple culture as a neoeaaary adjunct to the dairy busineas, ao thoroughly convinced are they that apples given to mileli eow* in txinucotinu with feed rich in nitrogen, during the winter season, impart to tiieir milk a rich flavor, and to the butter a color akin to that gained from graan. Where aoil aud climate are adapted to them, there , no doubt but that apples for stock can bo groan cheaper than any other kind of fiHxl of corresponding value, grass excepted. Hogs are rapidly fattened on apples, alien grnin meal is intermixed, and hofses and sheep thrive on them in place ot TIHUS, when given with hay. Apple* tire of comparatively little v line when fsl alone. This is account •si for by the small auiouut of nitrogen they contain; hou** t'.io necessity of *- sitciatiow tic 'ii with rations rich in the element* they laek.

If by a diary IR intended a collection of vapid or flat verbiage, supposed to be rrfltctioas or "sentiments," or the record of fancied feelings, or morbid imaginings, or vain attempts to imitate the reputed journals of young women in novels, it were, iudeed, better le't aloue. But if as a guide to rnemorv a person make* a habit of preserving .late*, even of occurrences apparently of little conse quence, the record at the end of the year may be discovered to be quite a useful guide to memory, and the source of a good fund of interesting conversa tion.

That science, a* taught in forma! treatise*, included a paraphernalia of words and things which are harder to reoollect than the matter* which they are supposed to preserve. In the diary this machinery of memory, being writ teu oat in order, doe* its work witliout the formidable lalxir imposed by "arti ficial memory," as it was called. It works by mental photographs npon the memory of " what is writ." In business matter* the necessary purely mercantile records greatly aid in the recollections of other things quite apart from them. Among the laiet and clearest witnesses in conrt are men of business. Their heads are kept clear by the records of the dates of their transactions.

In ad ditiou thereto 1 respectfully submit the following observations ; The custom house of New York col lects more than two thirds of all the customs revenues of tho government. Its administration is s matter not of local interest merely, but is of great importance to the people of the whole country. For a long period of time it lias been used to manage and control political affairs. The officers suspended by mo are and for several years have boon engaged in the active personal management of the party politics of the city and State of New York. The dnties : of "the offices held by them have been regarded as of subordinate importance to their partisan work. Their offioea have been couduoted us part of the po litical machinery under their control, j They have made the custom house a centre of partisan jiolitical management.
