LADIES' DEPARTMENT, I'n.tilnn Notes. Jersey waists continue to he worn. Bridesmaids appear for the most part In bonnets. Black inatelasse is much used in mourning dress. Sicilionne warmly wadded is chosen for ml in go tea. The hair may lie arranged either high or low, as suits the face. Heavy ribbed silk is the moat elegant material for wraps for old ladies. Myrtle, white roses, lilies and lilacs divide favor with orange blossoms as bridal flowers. The adoption of velvet for evening dress has led to its being used largely for bridal toilets. Lace ruches, high in the throat, re main the favorite lingerie of ladies with long, slander necks. Full and bouffant trimmings, ruches, shells, and puffs, adorn the bottom of many fashionable skirts. Black lace ruches and cascades and black lace draperies for skirts are much in favor for elderly ladies. The most fashionable slippers have very short toes, and straps high on the instep, which tie with very broad ribbon. Bag-carpet bonnets appear among the late styles. Tin-plush in this style of goods is mostly used for tho small bonnets. Ttie most stylish round hats are tip tilted over the forehead, the I.angtry and the odd-looking Phrygian cap being favorites. Kilt and lio.x-plaitcd velx rt skirts are worn, although the plain skirt with heavy ruche at the i>ottom is more gen erally accepted. Surah satins, with grounds of pale primrose, brocaded with foiir-o'-clocks, arg much used for matinees, made up in Louis XIV. style. The regular brooch is again in style. In these round pins flowers are imitated both as regards color and shape, in tinted gold and enameled metals. The new shakes of blue, electric, ro balt, royal, drake's neck, sapphire, hus sar. gentian, and Presbyterian are all to be found in gloves and hosiery. Wide, straight-brimmed sailor bats of plush or velvet, having the crowns completely covered with short, fluffy ostrich tips, are very much worn by young girls in their teens. The plain waists and sleeves of dresses, which have lioen so long admiml and universally adopted, have given way to immense frills, shirrings and puffs. The ruffs which are so generally worn at present were in fashion in the time of Henry 111. They were then an adjunct to masculine dress; they now hold their place in a lady's ward robe. Little girls' velvet costumes are made with very full plain skirts gauged deep over the hips and a blouse waist. These waists are fastened down the front with straj>s and buckles. Lace jat sits are worn around the neck and down the front to the bottom of the iKxlice. They are caught at the neck with a diamond pin. and to the left Is clustered a huge corsage Ixxpiot. Pale women of small stature, if they do not wish to appear aleuird, should avoid flashing diamonds and wear pearls, turquoise, opals, green chalce dony, amethysts or even amber, any of which as ornaments will lie found far more tiecorning. A very pretty walking dress is made of dark green reaped gtxKl* of soft wool. The skirts are ottached to a jersey bodice, the front of which is braided in military style in a raised de sign, which is broad just below the throat and then narrowing gradually until it reaches a [mint just below the waist. Here it meets with a wide de sign in the braiding, which extends - * from hip to hip. The effect is very in coming t\ slender figures. The lKKlice tmttonr down the hark. The close sleeves are braided nearly to thcclliow. The skirt is edged with a wide ruche, above which are broad, upright Imx plaits long enough to reach to the scarf of twill, which is drajnd just beneath the braiding altove IK -scribed. Uitfnl ( rnllr. Tho lately-born infanta of .Tpain, Mary Theresa Ysaltel, sleeps, wakes and crii-s in a cradle *ha|>ed like a conch-shell ami limsl with the palest of pink-satin. Her tiny form is covered with point d'Alencon lace, specially made from a pattern designed by the '.jueen of Spain's mother, in which the arms of Spain and Austria are grace fully blended. She has u roiivre-pied and tiny pillow, on Imth f the lilies of the house of I tourism and the Y of her pretty name, Ysaltol, are laced and in terlaced. Tho other new royal ltnlty, the young hereditary prince of Sweden, has a much loss delicate cradel, as In comes a hardy young Norseman. It is shaped like a swan, the wings com ing up, if wished, and sheltering the I little prince, and in well provided with down-stuffed accessories. wtenliiu n Itrlilr. | So late as the seventeenth century it was customary in some parts of Ireland for the bridegroom's friends 1 | to receive those of the bride with a 1 shower of darts, carefully directed so as to fall harmless, and Lord Kaimes, 1 i who died in 1 H7ii, deposes that the j : marriage observances of the Welsh of that day were significantly symbolical of marriage by capture; the respective ! friends of the bride and groom meet- I j ing on horseback, the former refusing to deliver the lady on demand and j bringing about a sham conflict, during ! which the nearest l-'nsinan of the | bride, behind whom she is mounted, galloped away, to be pursued l>y the opposite party, until men and horses 1 had had enough of it, when the bride groom was permitted to overtake tin pretended fugitive and bear tier off in triumph. The Itcrricors of I"ranee are the only lluropcan people among whoii this form of apture still survives, i'pou the day of a wedding the doors i of a bride's house are dosed and bir rieaded, t!m windows barred and h-r friends mustered within, Presently tiic bridegroom's parts conies, ;i.-.kll>g admission on one laLsc pretense after anotiier. Finding speech of no avail, they endeavor to force an entrance, with no better success. Then comes a • parley; the Iwsiegers proclaim that they bring the lady a husband, ami arc adn ttisl within il'M>rs, to light for the >sioiiif thf heart, win it and the bride with it; the couple hci.,g forth with united in the orthodox fashion. Wnntrit in Willi Savs a New York correspondent Wall street is overrun witti women women who are old and women who arc young; women who are poorly clad and women in rich attire; women who talk patly of the market ami can ring the changes on the stock exchange's . inelodions lingo; women attractive and women repulsive—all with an eyt single to gain, i'hev are wild with the speculative craze. Their ambition is "livers;" their methods iimst childlike and bland. In the list of these new habitues of Wall street are emhra<t*i ineiiilMTs of some of the lir-t families of the city, so far as wealth or social connections go.

It is rather difficult for the average mem IST of the stock exchange to refuse advice to a prettv , woman, and, everything ix-ing even, the information so put forth isquitcup to the standard of Wall street reliability and accuracy. Secrets are sometimes obtained by women which the ordinary man could not discover in a life-time, and for some inscrutable reason they flourish occasionally where men fail. A Jokeon the trtM. There is an eminent painter in l'aris who Is economical and sententious. The othor day one of the students broke a pane of glass in the studio window, and replaced it temporarily by pasting a sheet of paper river the aperture. When the painter rami down next morning he thrust his cane 'through the makeshift with the re mark, "He that breaks pays." None of i the r lass. however, took the hint, and next morning another sheet of paper was pasted across the window. It met the same fate. And so on the next day, and soon the fourth, tin the fifth 1 day, when the artist came down, there was the paper as liefore. Fire flashed from his eyes, and roaring "lie. that breaks pays!" he drove his cane through the pajter and through the pane ol glass behind it that had been put in by > the students, and then carefully [tastes, ( over with a sheet of paper.

A ban is about twelve feet ill width by twenty in length, but the larger ones comprise several of these buildings joined to gether, then including out-houses for the*storage of cattle, fodder, fuel and produce. The low entruuee at the gable extends through the length of the building, terminating at the kit chen, win re a raised hearth, about three feet high, supplies all the arti tieial heat.

The songwriter was It. K. ll,in by, of Westerv ille, Ohio, who was also a painter, n musician, and a j-wt. When he was alsmt twenty years of age he sometimes jottM down melodies which struck him, and on otic occasion the notes of "Nellie I Day" went on paper, and he afterward w rote the words. ID had never publishes! any music, ami this was put aside where he could use it as the fancy struck him. One night at a little company at his louse, the song, among others, was sung, and a gentleman present, Is-ing struck by the air. made some inquiry alsait it. and the facts were given him. He at once asked the young eomj-ser what it was worth, ami Mr. Ilanhynot being [tosted, put the figure at #."• and the trade was made.

It was called the "Hell of Jus-' tiee," and the following beautiful atory is connected with it : When, in rourse of time, the |lowrr end of the liell-ropc rotte<| away, a wild vine was ties) to it to lengthen it; and one day an old and starving horse, that had ls-en abandon<sl by its owner and turned nut to die, wandered into J the tower, and trying to eat the vine, rang the bell.

The alhuiru-n, oil and saline matter are, as in milk, in the right proportion for i-ustaining animal life. Two or three boiled eggs, with the add it ion nt a slicijr two of toast, w ill make a breakfast suflieierit for a man and good enough for a king. Ace,nling to Ir. Edward Smith, in his treatise on "Food," an egg weighing an ounce and three-quarters contain -- ' grain.s of < artsm and seventeen and thris-.quartcrs grains of nitrogen, or 1 per cent, of < arlx.n and two per cent, of nitrogen. The value of ono jioinul of eggs as f--i for sustaining the active forces of the lssly, is to the value of one js.und oflean beef, as 1-Vi4 t) yfJO. As a flesh producer, one jxiiiri<l of eggs is about equal to one j.ound of hi i f. .V hen may be i • nsidere-l to consume one bushel of corn yearly, and to lav ten dozen or fifteen pounds of eggs. That is to say that three and onistinth pounds of chemistry corn will produce, when fed to a hen, five-sixth* of a pound of eggs, but five-sixths of a poumi of pork requires about five pound* of corn for its production. Taking into a<<- unt the nutriment in eai h and tin- comparative prices of the two on an average, the je-.rk is about thr- tille-s as costly a food as the eggs, while it is certainly less healthful. ■ Paper in Japan.

I>oe the World Mis* Any One! An exchange gives the following truthful and lieautiful answer to the above question: Not long. The Iwwt and most useful of us will soon be for. gotten. Those who to-day are filling a large place in the world's regard w ill pass away from the remembrance of inan in a few months, or, at the furth est, in a few years alter the grave is covered over the remains. We are shedding tears alsivc a new-made grave and wildly crying out in our grief that loss is irreparable; yet in a short time the tendrils of love have on twined around other supports and wo no longer miss the one who is gone. So pasces the world. But there arc those to whom a Lis* is beyond repair. There are men from whose memories no woman's smile can chase recollections of the sweet face that has given up all its beauty at death's icy touch. There are women whose plighted faith ex tends leyond the grave, and driven away a* profane those who would tn tice them from a worship of their buried love. Such loyalty, however, is hidden away from the public gaze. The world sweeps on beside and around them, and cares not to look upon un obtrmling grief. It curves a line and rners a tone over the deal, and hastens away to offer homage to the living.
