TIM EL r TOPICS, Tbe New York coffee houie com pany, reaBoninst that "hot coffee is b Iter than whisky in cold weather," hns established three stations for sup plying car drivers and conductors. These are the city hall, the Battery, and at the foot of Grand street. At these points there is a daily total of three thousand car arrivals. At first cups of coffee were given away at these places, to the great satisfaction of the recipients of the company's bounty. Finally, however, the company bepan to sell the co flee at two cents per cup. Its mem bers hope to be able to make this a regular business in winter at these joints, whi.e in summer they propose o provide cool drinks . The floods in Holland have caused wide-spread devastation and suffering. Dikes at Nieuwkuyk that resisted storm and wave for eighty years suc cumbed to the tempests of this wild season, and a vast area, containing hundreds ot thousands of acres and a population of 30,000 persons, was flooded. Add to tuis severe cold, and it is easy to form a conception of the suffering that ensued. Many houses were torn from their foundations.others fell in, and in many the inmates were made prisoners in the arrets and nn the roos, where they were subjected to an tue panes 01 nungcr and exposure. The catastrophe was owing to the nog lect of the government to maintain the dike in proper condition.

The new agricultural industry known as the central sugar factory system, which is now established in many sec tions of Louisiana, was founded by Messrs. Clarke and Steele, formerly of Springfield. Ohio. Their plantation and works at La gem da are on a grand scale. These gentlemen settled there ten years ago. and began buying up the cane raised by small farmers who had no mills, and refining the crude mo lasses of planters who did not care to be troubled with the operation, or had not the means to carry it on. There are some large plantations in Western Louisiana now worked on the tenantry system. Small farmers, in companies of five to twenty, are allowed to culti vate as many acres of hne sugar cane lands as they can, free of rent, and are paid four dollars per ton for all they make. Several Chicago and Ohio firms are now planting on the tenantry plan, and many planters of the olden sort have followed their example, until there are now twenty-five central sugar factories on the Teche and the Atcha falaya. Both these systems are said to work well, and hundreds of tenants have become very easy in circum s.ances since the industry was estab- usuea. i Tbe Last American Empire. The general opinion in Brazil is that ine empire will not long outlivo the reign 01 toe present emperor, the good Dom Pedro. The imperial form of government does not flourish on the soil of tho American continent, and the emperor s personal popularity, which is very great, nas Kept in check the demo cratic tendencies ot tho country, which cannot always be controlled even by wholesome laws, and wise, liberal and progressive government.

' ' FOR THE FAIR SEX. Bow to Dress wlthl Teste. The art of dress comprises color, tex ture, form and ornamentation. Tbe first consideration should be directed to color. The accepting of fashionable Miades, without any regard to the claims of complexion, is a great error, ano mo result is rarely correct. By chance one may sometimes make a good hit in such matters, although by acci dent some of the bestthiegs in existence have come to light. lied, this season, is quite a favorite, and can be worn by the blomlo Hnd fie brunette but the former muvt exercise a litti rMncetiou in adopting to any profusion t hi telling dye. The blonde who fan betittingly iio'im herself in scrrt ttimmings, and especinlly where" tho hue is In Close proximity to tho complexion, should he very lair; a clear white skin will beautifully reflect tho bright ness of the scarlet; whereas a face that has a yellowish hue, or a rather florid aspect, should never appear to favor scarlet; if this color is worn at all by such, let it bo far away from the face, except when arranged in an evening toilet. A brunette cannot wear pale green, which is most becoming to the fair beauty. Orango is the brunette's own color: but if the dark hello has blue eves this drizzling shade will not enhance her nppcarnnee. The color of the toilet should be of that nature to impart a healthy tone to the complex ion. This idea when effectually pro duced ha9 a very satisfactory result. Avoid wearing those colors that heigh ten or destroy either the red, yellow or white in the natural flesh tints. Woman' Work. Women frequently complain that men do not know how hard they are obliged to work. The many little things they are requited to do are quite as taxing upon them, they rightly say, as the larger labors of the masculine sex. The Rev. Thomas K. Beecher says some thing on this subject which all women will appreciate. "All men," remarks this distinguished gentleman, "ought to go to the woods and do their washing and general work, such as sweeping, house-keeping and dish- washing. J. in work ot wo men is not spoken of sensibly by men till they have done it themselves. Gettiemen readers, it i3 easy to talk, but just try it on a very modest scalo once.and you will honor working women more man ever, xto as l have done do a wash of six pieces, and then re member that a woman turns off 200 pieces a day. Look at your watch and see how long it takes you. Look at your soap and see how much you have useo. juook at your white clothes, Hand kerchiefs and towels and Eee what you havedone.ai d never again speak harshly of or to a woman on washing-day, nor oi launory work as it it were unskidiul labor, lrv it. A svmDa. tlietic gentleman, having washed two pieces, will never change his shirt Hgmn without a glow of reverence and gratitude. She did this. A similar and salutary consciousness will come over him who darns Lrs own socks, patches his own trousers, tplices his suspenders and washes his dishes. Look not every man upon his own things, but every man upon the work of a woman. Such an experience in the woods will go far toward settling the woman quest! n, by teaching us that we are all membeis of one another, and there must be no schism." Fashion Fancies. White pine-apple silk handkerchiefs. embroidered in gold, are worn around the neck. Lmbroidory is exceedingly fashion able, and may oe found on all manner of fabrics in London. White in gossamer fabrics is very much used over silk and satin in deli cate or bright colors for evening dresser.. Basques are finished on the vtrv edce with large jet beads strung closely to gether. All well-made basques have lead inserted iu the bottom ; this holds them in f lace, especially when sitting. Velvet, both the stamped and the plain, stands at the head of fashionable dress fabrics this season. The black is more used in the plain, but in colors blue, wine atd purple the stamped takes the preference. New styles of collars upon dresses are round tiEd wide, ana shaped to extend down the front of basque to waist-line. They are often finished with flat plait ings of kca. It is hardly necessary to add that a collar and trimming of this Kina is only becoming to narrow should' trs, and locg-waisted figures. The English corduroy is much in de mand. It wears well and does not turn brown, like the ordinary corduroy. A secret that seems to be known by but iew, m maaing up corauroy and velvet, is to make it nap upward; in that way me pue is not so easily flattened, and it nas a luiier, heavier look always. Pretty side-bags are substituted for pockets, and the newest specimens arj uimiu vi saim, piuaii or velvet, either oiack or to match me color oi the dress. They are embroidered with gold, silver, sieei.jeioreoioicu oeaas, witn silk, or are hand-painted and have a fringe to match all round and tassels on each side, tr ribbon bows, according to the strings wl ich fasten them to the waist, whether tuey are 01 ribbon or silk cord. Mo3t fanciful are the collars and ruffs for the throat just now. Some have a tiny wreath of iloweis, with drooping buds, put upon lace; other's swan's down, or small marabout feathers. end or silver spangled between each quilting ot the lace, and others are likn sniRil collars ot black or co:ored nlusli with jeueu anu ocaaeo lace; and so much is worn round the throat now that, in addition to the ruilla. a beaded or em broidered band of velvet is sometimes seen.

FARM GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Proportion of Cream to Milk. The first fifth nortion of milk from the cow contains about one-twentieth part of cream ; the second fifth, one-tweltth ; the last fifth, one-sixth. How import ant then to be careful to get the last and richest drop, even if it were not true that cows are quickly dried up by a slovenly practice of leaving a small portion in the udder. Cows will con tinue to give a flow of milk at a much longer period when milked dry. Farm ers, it will ho teen, receive a double benefit by ucli a cour. e. First, there is more cream in tbe milk, and second, tbe flow will contlnuo longer; two re quisites in aU dairy countries. ' ' Una Hundred Bnahala ot Shelled Corn to the Acre. Mr. Nathan G. Pierce tells the Ameri can Cultivator how hefYaised 100 bush eis (it shelled corn to tbe acre. He used for seed an eight-rowed corn which he has improved by careful selection, and believes it to be a good variety to raise, anywhere between Virginia and the Canadt line. The ground selected for planting wns a good pirca of gravelly loam. It was well plowed about the first of Mny, iiarrowed, treated to a broadcast application of nine hundred pounds fertilizer to tho acre; aga n har rowed faitjifully. rendering the land tine and mellow; rows marked three feet apart, a small amount of fertilizer scat tered to each row. May 10, three ker nels of corn planted in each hill, two feet apart in the rows; cultivated and hoed four times, allowing no weeds to grow; passed through the entire piece, cutting each hill down to two stalks; every sucker in each hill cut throughout the field. During the entire period of growth through the season tbe field was closely watched, every weed pulled and every ear of smut cut out. At the E roper timo, after the corn had become ard, it wns cut, bound in bundles, and stocked. When dry it was drawn into the barn, where, with tho assistance of a hired man, the corn was liusked, weighed as husked, and found to yield one hundred and ten bushels of shelled corn to the acre, allowing seventy-five pounds of ears to equal one bushel of shelled corn. Hticnlarliy In Fetdlns Stock. While it is highly impor ant that the farmer should provide good food for his horses and cattle, yet it is equally im portant that they should be fed regu larly, at stated periods. Animals are good time-keepers; and if the hour passes at which they are commonly fed, they are apt to make their wants known; especially is this the case of the cow. It is a very bad practice to feed bet often and irregularly; and some farmers have an idea, that almost every time the barn is entered, the cows should be given hay or fodder. This is a mistake. The great object in view is to keep the cow quiet and contented, which can bo readily accomplished by regular feeding, av.d supplying all the fond they can eat. If fed in this man ner in the morning, the cows will lie down and chew the cud, and are not dis posed to be annoyed by the visits of any person. In the winter season, the sec ond feeding should be about two o'clock in the afternoon, which will allow them to ha e from that time to milking, all they will eat, and giving a feed of hay when the milking is finished. The first stomach of the cow should be empty, or almost so, before any food is eaten. A cow chewing the cud cannot be hungry. This regularity as regards feeding should likewise apply to atering and milking. This regular system of feed ing applies fully as well to pigs and sheep, when the latter are iu winter quarters. Animals can be as easily trained as children, and every farmer who bears this in mind wi 1 be amply rewarded by the fine appearance of his stock, and tho affection which will be bestowed upon him by them.

Knowing Birds. A little colony of fan-tailed niirpnna is aept at me worss oi tue union manu facturing company, at North Man. Chester. At Christmas two young birds were presented to a family living three quarters of a mile from the mill. The birds were placed in a cage and soon became domesticated and . aoDarentiv very much at home, so that a few morn ings since it was thought safe to place them in the house d re Dared for them and let them loose. They remained quiet and contented until at 1 1 :30 o'clock the whistle of the mill sounded. In. stantly they flew into the air and struck out in the direction of the sound. But before they were certain about their direction the whistle ceased and the biros thereupon lit upon a neigaborinn root and waited, evideutly knowing that in half an hour thev would bear the familiar sound again. The moment the twelve o'clock whistle began they mounted straight into the air until they were able to locate the direction accurately and a moment later they landed among their old comrades.
