English oambrio, cheap lpaca or foulard silk, are usually em ployed for the foundation. On this a Jacing of the dress goods half a yard deep is put, and on this facing the plaitings, flounces, etc., are set. Plait ing may be pieoed to any extent, the joints being hidden in the folds. Bias folds should be lined with Wiggins to Kive them the proper set. Be careful also to cut them exaotly on the bias, xlie arm-holes are no longer corded. In remodeling silk or woolen suits the short poiuted revers collar, meeting at the top of the darts, will be much used, ihe popular plastron affords an excel lent mode of covering the rubbed fronts of dresses. Stitch it on both fronts from collar to bottom, and work the buttonholes over the old ones. When !?e,.u AdraPery is too scant 'add a width of the trimming material on one Bide and bunch it up irregularly. The accepted trimming for plain skirts is one or two flounces cut straight and put on in moh-wide plaits. These flounces are usually deep enough to hide all that part of the lower skirt not hidden by the lODg underskirt. Silesia or drilling is preferred to linen for dress lining by many dressmakers. This is, however, a matter of taste. Linen and lawn dresses are not lined, but are made with the renoh fell, whioh prevents the seams BtretchiDg. To make this stitch on the right side, trim the seams off close, turn and stitch up once more on the wrong side. In all bias seams on gar ments which are meant to be washed, stit ih a narrow, straight strip of cloth to serve as a stay. Skirt braids should al- e shrunk before using, else they will draw in the wearing. White petti coats which have cut out on the edges may be made "as good as new " by put ting on a ruffle of thin new cotton or cambric, as the material may require. Ihe ruffle may be easily maJe on the Bewing machine. Children's white dresses may be lengthened by adding a band of inser tion and a scant flounce of Eamburg work on the bottom. If the dress is plaited at the back, lengthen the body by means of the trimming and piece the plaiting at the top, where the added trimming will cover it. Plain princess dresses, white or colored, may be made longer by cutting the edge out in van dykes or tabs aud setting a plaited flounce underneath a fashion popular for new suits. When sheets give way in the middle tear them down the center and sew tie outside edges together, thus bringini; tho best part where the hardest wea'r comes. Pillowcases are not often worth mending.

A Colorado correspondent of the Bos ton Journal writes as follows: The United States signal station at Pike's peak is the highest signal station in the world; it is also the highest iuhabited portion of the globe. It was opened in the month of September, 1873. That it Was a wise provision of the government in establishing a signal station at this point is no longer questioned, the faots having already demonstrated Its practi cability, and tho present success prom ises that Pike's peak signal station is yet to stand at the head of all astronom ical and meteorologioal 'stations in the world. This point is wonderfully favor ed by nature for the study of astronomy and meteorology. The rarity of the at mosphere brings out a remarkable bril liancy and clearness to the stars and all the heavenly bodies. The nights are most always oloudlesn, and Cloady days are the exception. Nine-tenths ef the storms are below tho peak. The best and most complete report of the last total eclipse of the sun received at Washington was the report of Professor Loud, of Colorado college, from obser vations taken at Pike's peak. The signal station is now under the charge of Sergeants Choate, Blake and Sweeney. These officers are detailed from the army because of their peculiar adaptability and special qualifications for the accurate execution of the nice duties of taking astronomical and me teorological observations. To Sergeant Bufus Choate I am greatly indebted for the particulars embodied in this article. The summit of Pike's peak contains sixty aores. It is 14,336 feet above the level of the sea. On the highest point stands the signal station, a rough stone building twenty-four by thirty, one story in height. It is divided into four rooms officers' room, kitchen, store room and woodroom. And here in this bleak spot, nearly twenty miles from the habitations of man, though three miles nearer the heaven ly regions than most parts of New England, these men live the larger part of the year. The station is three miles from the timber line, where the greater part of vegetation ceases. Short grass tufted with delicate Alpine flowers struggle for an existence against the frigidity of tho atmosphere and creep toward the mountain top; but there are hundreds of acres of cold gray and reddish rocks where not a vestige of verdure exists. Like the dwellers of the Arotio regions, the inhabitants of Pike's peak have but two seasons summer and: winter. Two months of summer August and Septem ber and ten, long cold months of win ter. The summer season passes quick ly. The atmosphere is oongenial; the many visitors at the peak enhance its eooial life with joy, wonderment and mirth. During the summer of 1878 up ward of nine hundred people, in parties of from five to thirty, visited the peak, among them many ladies. They regis tered from the four quarters of the globe, and they all expressed admiration and astonishment at the grandeur and sub limity of the wonderful views as seen from the peak. To behold a sunrise from the peak is an event of a lifetime, and for this purpose visitors often re main over night at the station to be ready to catch the first glimpse of the sun as it appears above the horizon, gilding with its bright rays the moun tains, hills, valleys and plains, to the wonder and delight of the amazed be holder. The duties of the offhers are various. Seven observations are taken daily; all storms are closely watched, and each special and distinctive charaoteristio duly recorded. Sunrise and sunset de mand close attention.. Every peculiari ty of the heavenly regions is viewed and a record made of the same, and monthly reports of these records are sent to headquarters at Washington. The present year has been unusually prolifio in sun-dogs, hioh are said to prognos ticate earthquakes, subterranean explo sions, immense freshets and troublous times. A government offloe at Pike's peak is no sinecure, for the officer must buffet all storms and brave all weathers. Occasionally an electrio storm visits the peak. There is but little thunder ac companying these storms, but tho mountain seems all on fire. Sergeant Choate iuforms me that when he was out observing one of these storms it ap peared as though the whole mountain top was a sheet of electrio flame. It came out of every rock and darted around with wonderful audacity. It played around him. aud. as he exoressed it, shot down his back and darted out of each boot-toe, and so completely filled him with electricity that he oould not retain his foolhold, but bounded and rebounded from the rock like a rubber ball; he felt as though a powerful electrio battery was pouring fiery darts all through him, and deeming "discre tion tho better part of valor," he bound ed into the signal station for preserva tion. Sergeant Choate was at the srrinr. in December, and on December 21 he lelt for the peak, wearing Norwegian suowshoes twelve feet in length. It was a weary task and a dreary trip. The first night out he slept in the snow on the mountain's side. The second night the mercury fell to twenty degrees be low zero. He sought shelter in a desert ed cabin, through whioh the wind whis tled tunes anything but agreeable; here he built a small fire, but avoided sleep, fearing the extreme cold might produce the sleep of death. The third day he reacnea ine station saieiy. The summer months are also ooon pied in preparing for the long siege of winter. Daring the months of August and September upward of 3,000 pounds of the usual variety of family stores and about twenty-five cords of firewood are snugly stowed away. These are all car ried to the peak in small quantities on the back sof the poor, despised burro. whose head has the appearance of being encased in cloth and whose ears are nearly the length of his legs, and who walks at the pace of a snail, and a very siow snau at mat.

CIIARUEW Bf TFIE ZULUS. Th Dmpwim Rraletaare mt Klahty KnaUnh Soldiers Aartlnot Heavy Odd la Month Africa. A London letter, describing the anni hilation of a British column under Lord OhelmBford by 2,000 Zulus, at Borke's Drift, in South Africa, says: Some dozen miles from the camp at Borke's Drift proper a small commis sariat post had been stationed, near the Tugela river, and not far from the fron tier towns of Helpmakaar ftnd Grey, town. Der.j, without any intrenohed system of defense, utterly unprepared to resist anything like a serions attack, and never dreaming of danger, there were a handful of volunteers, some men of the Twenty-fourth, and some civil ians, about eighty, all told. They were nnder the command of a couple of young lieutenants Bromhead, of the Twenty-fourth, and Ouard, of the Royal engineers. They knew nothing of the bitter business that had been going on at the camp, ' Their first intimation of trouble arose from seeing fugitives making for the river, and, in the dis tance, natives in pursuit. Seeing d au ger, the young lieutenants called their men to arms and commenced to turn their commissariat stores to account. They had a vast quantity of meal in bags and a large store of biscuit in tins. These, under the yonhg engineer's di rection, they hastily formed into a bar ricade, with loop-holes for the rifles. Meanwhile the outlook saw several of the fugitives fall under the ESulu fire, more particularly Lieutenant Cochill, while crossing the river, the officer's intention being to warn Greytown and Helpmakaar of the danger they were in from a Zulu advance. Coghill and some half dosen or more had got aWay from the camp, charged with the duty of carrying newB of the Zulu attack to the rear. The little post at Borke's Drift appears to have been altogether forgotten, ex cept by the Zulu army, for the natives who had pursued Coghill turned out to be tne vanguard of another portion of the victorious force which had captured the Chelmsford convoy. It was at sun set that between 3,000 and 4,000 of the enemy appeared before Chard and Bromhead's breastwork of meal-bags and biscuit tinsi Waiting calmly for their advance, the little garrison ponred into tbem a volley that staggered them. The fire was repeated, and the Zulus, swarming over tboir dead, charged for the most vulnerable part of the barri cade, entered it, and were hurled back at the point of ihe bayonet. Again and again they returned to the breach, which was closed up with their dead. The garrison fought like devils. They clubbed their rifles, they Used their bayonets, the young lieutenants fought with their swords. After each repulse the men returned to their rifle practice, keeping up a deadly fire. At the rear of the barricade was a small wooden hos pital. There were five patients in it and a servant of Col. Harness. The Zulus fired the hospital and the inmates were burned to death, except Harness' servant, who crept out and escaped in the bush. Tne light of the flames helped the garrison to see the foe ana enabled tnem to avenge over and over again the poor fellows in the hospital. All through the night the unequal contest went on ; the Zulus more than once coming up to the breastwork and seizing the rifle barrels which flung among them a constant and deadly hail of ballets. Some of them got inside the impromptu fortress six different times, but they were slaughtered to a man. Assistant-Commissary Byrne was con spicuous for his bravery. He was killed. But few of the others fell, sheltered by the bags and tins so admirably engi neered by Lieut. Chard. Toward dawn Lord Chelmsford Continued his retreat. and reached Borke's Drift shortly after the attacking hosts had withdrawn. The Zulus evidently had good information of ijord fjueimaiord s movements, for as he came up they retired; and at first the men at the beleaguered post thought the fresh force appearing against the gray sky-line was a new body of the euemy. Tne isritisn colors, however. soon made themselves manifest to the outlook, and the gnrrison sent up a ring' ing cheer, which was answered by their oomrades, wno, as they advanced, found grim evidence of the contest that had only just been finished. The neighbor hood of the Drift was strewn with Zulu dead, 351 bodies lying thick about the barricade, more particularly at the point where they had been repulsed with the bayonet. The bodies further away were estimated at between 600 and 700, so that Bromhead and Chard's company had averaged ten Zulus killed per man. They had not only done something to ward wiping out the defeat at the camp, out tney had saved Uraytown and Help makaar, and, possibly, Natal itself; for they hud clearly checked the advance of the enemy, who would otherwise have swarmed over the frontier, which he has nevertheless crossed here and there in small parties. It is thought at the Gape tnatrevery man at If orke s Drift should have the Victoria cross, and nobody in London gainsays their title to the dis tinction. They have covered themselves with glory, and added another imperish able laurel to the famous but unfortun ate Twenty-fourth. How Careless Men Can be With Money.

The money was wrapped np in an old newspaper, and he carried it nnder his arm. He stopped at a wav-side hostelrv for din. ner, and left the money on a chair when ne went out. lie had not gone many miles irom the place when ho missed it. He flew back and asked the woman if she had seen a parcel. " There's a bit of newspaper on the chair bevant," said she ; " perhaps that it ;" which it proved to be, and my friend returned a happier and a wiser man. Another circumstance: A man I know of lost a roll of bills amonnting to $10,000. They, also, were tied np in a newspaper. He told a friend, and the two talked over the loss and the probability of finding the money. The friend made him tell all the ground he had been over since be had the money.

They looked further, and found the lost treasure. It had been kioked in turn by every one who came into the offloe, and when found, was all untied and completely soaked in slush. They seized it eager ly and returned to their hotel, where they spent several hours in cleaning it, It was all there : and at last they got it dried.

To canalize the oirou lation and prevent inflammation, the head should be kept cool and the ex tremities warm. Cooling lotions of arnica or witch-hazel and water, or sim ply water, should be applied to the head on thin cloths, well wrung out so as not to wet the pillows and bed-olothes. JNo more than two or four thicknesses of linen should be used, because thick cloths prevent evaporation, and what was intended to cool the head acts as a ?onltioe and makes the head hotter. Qe and ice-cold water should not be used unless the head is very hot, as it is believed that children have been killed . by the application of pounded ice to the head. Bottles of hot water or hot irons are all that is necessary, besides the bed clothing, to heat the extremities. All applications of mustard and other irri tants possess no advantage over these, and have the disadvantage of disturbing the sufferer. Should the patient's face be very pale, and signs of fainting ap pear, camphor or ammonia should be applied to the nostrils, and a little brandy or wine be given. Then the room should be made as quiet as possi ble and every means used to invite "na ture's sweet restorer," sleep. We know the popular idea is that patients Buffer -ing from any injury to the head should be kept awake by all means ; and it is mainly to combat this erroneous notion that we are prompted to write out these directions. No injury or degree of in jury of the head contra-indicates the sufferer's sleeping. In fact, positive harm may be done in trying to prevent sleep. Best is what the brain and blood vessels want more than any one other thing; and, if not allowed, what would nave passed off in a few hours or days may be prolonged into inflammation, with all its dangerous consequences. Of course the air of the room should be kept pure windows and doors open, if tho weather permit and the presence or persons not absolutely necessary for bidden. W. H. Vail. M.

There were eighty three trunks and valises offered for sale, ana tne total amount realized was 883. A large crowd was present, hut the bid ding was far from spirited, as the con tents of the trunks were not exposed to view. Many laughable inoidents hap pened. One old gentleman persisted on prying open the trunks with a big knotted cane, and would only desist when made to do so forcibly. At the commencement of the sale he was ob served to be closely eyeing a huge Sara toga wnion nad been left at the Everett house by a female adventnress. When this trunk was oned he anxionslv fum bled in his pockets and brought forth ten cents, with which he started the bidding. Finally it was knocked down to him for 82. " Open it, open it I" yelled the crowd, and he did so. The first thing seen was a roll of uewspupers, and the last a lot of bricks.- among which was found a sheet of foolscap with this inscription on it: "Hold again I and never got your money back.

Sir Astley Cooper relates the oae of a sailor who was received in St. Thomas' hospital in a state of stupor from an in- nry in the head, which oontinued some months. After an operation he sudden ly resovered so far as to speak, but no 1 one in the hospital understood his lan guage. But a Welsh milk-woman hap pening to oome into the ward, answer ed him, for he spoke Welsh, which was his native language. He had, however, been absent from Wales more than thirty years, and previous to the acci dent had entirely forgotten Welsh, al- inougn ne now spoke it fluently, and recollected not a word of any other tongue. On bis perfect recovery he again completely forgot his Welsh, and reoovered his English. An Italian gentleman, mentioned by Dr. Bush, in the beginning of an illness, epoke Euglish: in the middle of it. Frenoh; but on the day of his death spoke only Italian. A Lutheran clergyman, of Philadel phia, informed Dr. Bush that Germans and Swedes, of whom he had a large number in his oongregation, when near death always prayed in their native languages, though some of thorn, he was confident, bad not spoken them for fifty or sixty j ears. An ignorant servaut girl, ment oned by Coleridge, during the delirium of a fever repeated with perfect correctness passages from a number of theological works in Latin. Greek and Babinical Hebrew. It was at length discovered that she had been servant to a learned clergyman, who was in the habit of walking backward snd forward along a passage by the kitchen, and there read- ng aloud his favorite authors. Dr. Aberorombie relates the case of a child, four years old, who underwent the operation of trepanning while in a state of profound stupor from fracture of the skull. After his recovery, he re tained no reoolleotion either of the opera tion or the aocident; yet, at the age of fifteen, during the delirium of fever, he gave his mother an exact description of. the operation, of the persons present, their dress and many other minute par ticulars.
