FOR THE FAIR SEX. Fashion Norra. Pcoop bonnets nre wor. Foke bonnets nre fashionable. . Jabots grow longnr and longer. Shoulder enpes are again fashionable. Basque polonaises will bo much worn. Large bonnets are preferred to small ones. Breton is the lace of the pnsslng mo ment. Turbans are worn both in and out doors. The short skirt is as short behind as before. Breton lace jabots and scarfs nre all the rnge. Both high and low turbnn caps nre fashionable. Black chip is the favorite bonnet for all occasions. Shirring is very fashionable on nil summer garments. Skirts of short dresses retain their narrow dimensions. Gloves are long, reaching to the elbow for full evening toilet. Suits in two shades of the snrue color nre going out of fashion. Wnistconts nre often mado to wear over the basque as under it. Xew parasols have flatter tops than the canopy ones of lust summer. Postilion iilents and fan trimmings in the back of nasques are revived. Fichu collarettes and jabot collarettes give a dressy effect to plain toilet. The turban is the fashionable cap for young ladies and young married women. Cups mado of silk handkerchiefs, in turban or Normandy form, nre much worn. Pnnier scarfs and draperies appear on nil Paris dresses brought over this spring. Shades of yellow, from pale straw or corn, to deep tax and old gold, are very fashionable. Very large flowers, especially roses and chrysanthemums, are used in bonnet decorations. Scarfs of line net, eded with Breton lace arc as often worn for bonnet strings as for neckties. The marked feature in the new over skifts nre the shirred fronts and bouf fant back draperies. French bunting, a fine, light wool goods, is the material in use for spring and summer half-mourning costumes. Crystal class buttons, sometimes called Rhino pebbles, cut in facets and set in platina nre shown for waistcoats. Blue and lavender are the favorite colors for trimming dress caps. The lace is cashmere, blonde or Breton, as one chooses. Bonnet strings are tied in a large; loose bow under the chin, not at the side, or they are simplv crossed in front, the ends forming a jabot. The three shapes of the pnnier nre the Ninon, the Ninette and the Mousquetaire. The manufacturers do not seem to have been too fortunate in names. The noveltv in spring bonnets is of soft chip, or Tuscan straw, with a large brim of the same dimensions all around; this brim the milliners indent to suit the face of tiie wearer. Spring skirts may lie trimmed with cedings of pinked-out rose-leaf silk. From five to seven rows of this material are needed, and they are shaded from the deep to the pale tints. Ribbons in three shades of satin are sometimes used on one bonnet. Tliey nre arranged one over the other on the side, and a bow of each is placed on the front above the face trimming. Bouffant draperies, whether on the hips or back, are placed higher and higher, the fullness more often bring placed just below the waist line than lower down on the skirt. A new fancy that will probably " take ' is to face trie skirts ot dressy costumes with red silk, under which the lace balayeuse is basted, making a very pretty and striking uress euect. Tho newest white lawn and cambric waists have the fronts in fichu style, made with a separate piece in six pleats on each side, sewed in the shoulder seams, and tapering to the waist. Infants' bonnets nre sometime " drawn " in the old-fashioned stvK They nre made cither of lace trimmed with ribbon, or of silk half-covered witli lace, but there is not much difference in the general effect. Blue is the prevail ing color. lhc rightside or many of the pattern bonnets is left almost bare. The trim ming is massed high on the front and graduated toward the back on the left side, ending there in nn elaborate bow but the right frequently shows only n doubled ribbon, which passes backward and dropsjo form strings. Nmall Feet. For the sake of having small feet many an otherwise, sensible woman win mar tyrize herself by pinching those unlucky members 01 tne iwuiy into hoots 01 a size too small. As a natural and neeessarv result of such pinching confinement, the foot becomes detormed and larger than it would naturally grow, with large joints and toes turned from a line parallel wit the foot, t sav nothing of the troubh some corns so annoying and crippling to a largo class of voung women. The wcrst results of this crippling custom o noarinff smtill nnrl nnlTnlv liitnta Ml t by children when allowed to outgrow their boots. It is poor eionomy to allow the vouna: to wear boots when the feet have bocome too large for them, since deformity of the feet is easily produced at this time. When the boot is too short and the heel too hiirh. the ingrow ing of tho nails is a j-fectly natural result. Children will have sutlicicnt illH to contend with without this crippling from deformed feet, the most prominent cause of which is gmalland badly-fitting boots and shoes. The Mnslc f tho Nightingale.

A Morning fall from a I'mitlirr. " I suppose you're wondering why Keep that ugly old chest," said airs. K , " and 1 must own that its not verv ornamental; but it saved my life once, tor nil that. 1 see you think i n making fun of you. but I'm not, indeed ; and when you hear tho story, I think you'll ngree with me that 1 have good reason to value it, ugly as it looks. "1 his was how it happened. When we first enme out to India, ray husband was sent to make the survev of the Xer budda Valley, one of the wildest bits in all Central 'India; mid we really were, just at first, the only white people within forty or fifty mill's. And such a time as we had of it! If my husband hadn't been as strong ns he is, and a perfect miiyicle of patience as well, I don't know how he could have stood what he had to do. It was dreadful work for him, being up sometimes for a whole night together, or having to stand out in the burning sun, when the very ground itself was almost too hot to touch. And as for the native workmen, I never saw such a set always doing everything wrong, and never liking anybody to put them right. When the ailwny was being mado they used to arrv the earth on their heads in baskets: and when Mr. 1! served out wheel barrows to them, they actually carried them on their heads in the same way! I could not help laughing at' it, though it was terribly provoking, too. And that was just the way they irll were: if there was -n wrong way of using anything they'd be sure to find it out. Even our butler, or khitmutgar, who was much better than most of them, came one dav and begged a pair of old decanter-labels that my husband was going to throw away ; and when the man came in next morning, he had positively turned them into earrings, and .went about quite gravely with 'Port' in one ear and Nierry in the other! However, it the native men worried me, the, native beasts were hlty times worse. It was no joke, I can assure you, to be awakened in the middle of thcjiight by tho roar of a tiger close under th? win dow, or by an elephant crashing nnd trumpeting! through the jungle witk a noise like a mail coach going full gallop nto a hothouse. ell, as soon as that was over, the jackals would set up a squealing and whimpering like so many frightened children; nnd then a dreadful native bird, whose name I've never found out (I suppose because nobody could in vent one bail enough for it), would break out in a succession of the most horrible cries just like somebodv being murdered until the noise fairly drove me wild. And then the ants! but you ve seen them for vourselt, and 1 needn't tell you about them. But all this while I m neg lecting my story. One dav (it will be long enough b fore I forget it ) my husband was out as usual at his work, and the nurse had gone down to the other native servants at the other end of the ' compound,' as we call this big inclosure, and 1 was left alone in the house with my little Minnie yon der, who was then just about a year old. Hy this time 1 had got over my hit fears, and didn't mind a bit being left bv mvsell: indeed, an xne lower winnows having bars across them, I thought that I was safe enough ; but I little dreamed of what was coming. I must have been sitting over mv sewing nearly an hour, wnia the child playing about the floor besides me, win n suddenly 1 heard a dull thump overhead, il something had lallen upon the root. lidn't think anything of it at the mo ment, for one soon gets used to all sorts of strange sounds in the Indian jungle; nit, presently, I thought I could hear a heavy breathing in the next room but one, and then I began to feel frightened in earnest. 1 roe as sottlv as 1 could. ami crept to the doorway between the rooms, this doorway was only closed by a curtain, and gently pulling aside tin folds, I peeped through and found my self within a few paces of the large; liiintber I bad ever seen inmv life. " For one moment it was just as if I had been frozen stiff, nnd then the thought came to me just as if somebody bad snoken it : ' The big chest! ' ' I knew that this chest would hold me and mv child ensilv. nnd that I could leave a chink of the lid open to let us breathe, for the overlapping edge would save my nngers irom tne pannier In a second I had it all clear before me but had the brute not stopped short at sight of the curtain, I should never have hud a chance of trying it. Luckily for me, the Indian panther, savage as he is, is a terrible coward, and suspicious as any detective. I've seen one go round and round a trnn for more than half nn hour, before he made up his mind to snringntthe bait. So, while my friend was mizzling himself over the curtain and wondering whether it was meant for a trap or not, I took up Minnie (who, noor little Det. seemed to know there was something wrong, nnd never uttered a sound) and into the chest I crept, making as little noise as X could. " I was hardlv settled there when heard tho 'sniff-sniff' of the panther coming right up to where 1 lay, and through the chink that I had left open the hot. foul breath came steaming in upon my face, almost making me sick It seethed to bring mv heart into mv mouth when I heard his great claws scraping the edge of the lid, and trying to lift it up ; but, happily, the chink was too narrow for his paw to enter. But if the paw couldn't, the tongue could ; and soon he began to lick my fingers, rasping them so that I hurdlv knew now to bear it. Still, the touch of Minnie's little arm around my neck seemed to give me courage. " But there was far worse than this to come; for the panther suddenly leaped right on top of the chest, and his weight Tir.isswl rlown the heavv lid upon my fingers, until the pain was so terrible that, unable to stand it any longer, I screamed with all my might. The scream was answered by a siiour. from iust outside, in which I recognized mv hiiKhnnd'H voice. The'nanther hear it, too, and it seemed to'scare him, for he mado a dash for the window, either for getting or not noticing the iron bars; but fust as he reached it, there came the crack of a rifle, and I heard the heavy brute fall suddenly upon the floor. Hien all the fright seemed to come back upon me nt once, ana 1 lainieu ouu ikiil "I beard afterward that Mr. R lind limine nod to want some iiistrentum which he had left at the house; and, not wishing to trust it in the hands of nny of the natives, ho came back for it himself- luckily, just in time, for tho bullet from his lido killed the panther. But, ns you see, my linnd is pretty stiff yet." J9ii't'rf A'cr, in St. Xicliolaa. The World's Largest Diamonds. A story comes from Partenll, India, whrre diamonds arc usually found Gol conda being the place where they nre merely cut and polished that the largest diamond In the world has lntelybeon discovered there. It is snid to weigh 100 carats, thirty-three carats more than the famous stone belonging to the Rajah of Mattau. The story is, in all proba bility, much bigger than the diamond, and both will be likely to diminish under careful exnininntion. Great dia monds are interesting, because tliey nearly nlwnvs have curious nnd romantic historic. The Regent or Pitt diamond, 130J enrats, cut, found in Hyderabad, was taken to England by Pitt, grand father of the first Earl of Chatham, nnd sold by him to tho due d'Orleans for a sum equivalent to 8050,000. It orna mented the sword hilt of Napoleon; was taken by the Prussians at Waterloo, and is now among the crown jewels of tho emperor of Germany. The Sanci. an other celebrated stone, once belonged to Chnrles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, who wore it in his lint at the battle of Nancy, where he fell. It then passed to the hands of Anton, king of.Portugal, and he, being embarrassed, disposed ol it for $20,000. Then it was purchased, after divers changes, by a Frenclunnn named Sanci, whence its designation. One of his descendants, having been sent as ambassador to Henry 111., at Miieure, u- king demnnded the jewel ns apieogc. lie servant, carrying 11 iu int.- imnmui, as waylaid by robbers and murdered, but not before he had swallowed the diamond. His master, confident of his fidelity, caused the body to lie opened, and found the precious stone. Alter a bile it was secured by the government of Great Britain, nnd James II. earned it to France in 1088. After varied for tunes, Louis XV. got hold of it and wore it at his coronation. Then it passed.from hand, and was bought, fifty odd years since by a Russian nobleman, lor ij iw.uw, anu is ram iu ikiuud uvt iu one of his heirs. As it is too valuable for almost anybody to keep, it will con tinue, no doubt, as the years go on, to ndd to its memorable history. Diamonds supply most of the romance of precious stones. A Dog's Bank Account. A dosr is a good thing to have around the house, and nobody is better convinced of this fact than the lady proprietor of a certain boarding-house on Grand River street east, not very far from Woodw;ird avenue. It seems that the lady left a five-dollar bill upon the parlor table several days ago, while temporarily ab sent trom the room, anu wnen sue re turned the bill had disappeared. After long nnd unsuccessful search it was noticed that the dog "had a sneaking, hang-dog expression about the mouth and did not seem inclined to wag his tail its numerously as usual. Somebody sug gested that lie might have swallowed the bill, nnd then it was remembered that he had been suspected of that sort of tiling before. An emetic was administer ed, but tho dog only howled nnd gagged, nnd stubbornly refused to show the true inwardness" of his disposition. Another emetic was scut for, and finally the missing bill was vomited up with a small tempest of howls and gurgles, and penitential tears. Airs. A. took tne money to a bank nnd represented Mint it was soiled and ragged because it had been carried in somebody's pocket for a long time, nnd the bank was persuauid to take the bill at a liberal discount upon its original value. Two or three days ago a bill wns pi ccd on the floor were the dog could see it, nnd then everybody left the room, ex pecting when tucy returned 10 see me dog nnd bill consolidated. But lo! the bill remained untouched, nnd the re pentant canine lay curled up in a corner of the room looking as nshamed and miserable as any human being would have looked under tho circumstances.

This wns the remark mnde by a busi ness mnn, a new arrivnl in the commun ity, t a reporter for tho Tribune. Kine for anvtbinir calculated to disturb tlio stifling serenity of local affairs, the Intel ligent news collector was moved to ask, "How so?"

This was in 1861, I believe. I ronnicd around tho town lor two or three days before I found anything to do. Finally, one nfternoon, without the least idea that anything would come of it, I dropped into a little store a sort of ladies' fur nishing store; that is, tho stock consisted of collars and cutis nnd lace and neckties and thread and yarn and nil such little truck. The store wns a small nffair hardly eight feet wide by perhaps fifteen feet deep. I walked in nnd nceosted a small, thin, white-haired and fair-com-plexioned young man, with an applica tion for employment. I must admit that the proprietor for the young man was the proprietor did not seem to care much whether I went to work for him or not. But after a little talk, mostly on mv part, I was engaged ' at if:! per week, with the privilege of sleeping in tho store." Something in the expression of the re porter's face suggested to the narrator to say that "the point of tho story was to come." So the yarn was continued : "My proprietor did not do a very heavy business, and did not seem to care much cither, lie belonged to some secret society or other, nnd was con stantly called unon bv brut her members. On these occasions the proceedings wero quite mysterious, and a little sort ot a ash-room in the back part 01 tne store as used fur consultations.

The custom of naming swords was not peculiar to the Celtic races, or to comparatively modern times, but pre vailed among the earlitvt nations ef nntiquity. The sword of Julius Caser, for instance, was knnwn ns Crocea Mors, or tlio red denth. The champions or heroes of the Cimbri, according to Plu tarch, ns quoted in Mallet's Northern Antiquities, "took particular care ( procure very keen swoids, which they inscribed with mysteiious characters, nnd cnlled by such names as might in spirejterror." And thev not only named their swords, but their banners; tho banner of Harold Hardrada was called the Innd Bavagcr; and to this day the green flngof Ireland is celebrated ns the Sunburst of Erin. Wo have no modern epithets to describe tho sword, and such names ns we hnve for our banners are prosnic enough. What can bo more commonplace than the naive of the flag of Great Britain the Union Jack? The stnr-spangled banner of tho iTnited States takes a less v'ulgai appellation, but spnngled is a poor word, and .'xcites no particular enthusiasm. And ail the better. To be fond of implements and emblems of slaughter, and to talk of them affectionately, is to be fond of using them ; and it is, as far as it goes, n hopeful sign that the weapons of mod ern warfare nre not considered to iiave any romance or poetry about them, but are held at best to bo the necessary evils ot our expanding but still imperfect civilization, and leads men to think of the time so long in coining, but which all of us hope will come nt last, "when swords will bo turned into plowshares, and spears into pruning hooks."
