NEWS AND NOTES FOB WOME& Gray is the correct sbada. The length of skirts varies. Carriage parasols are very small. Metallized lace is much in vogue. Old-time crape barege is revived. Three-cornered hats for girls are com • tog- Neutral and decided colors are both in vogue. Ladies' cards are now made almost square. Columbus, Miss., has a girls' industrial school. Collarettes are now made of cock's feathers. Nail trimming on dresses is bristling tor favor. Thirty per cent, of America's females are working women. The Parsee girls are crowding into the Bombay university. Nun's veiling in all colors is ornately embroidered and hemstitched. Aromatic vinegar is used in vinaigrettes by ladies who do not like salts. Scotch ginghams are flowered and striped to resemble brilliantines. Fascinating little head-dresses and Spanish caps are bidding for favor. Mrs. Cleveland, wife of the ex-Presi dent, is said to dress on SIOOO a year. Mrs. Caroline L. French has been appointed police matron of Knoxville, Tcnn. Young girls are wearing tiny half-cres cents formed of button roses of ostrich feathers. • Street toilets, to bo in tho best taste, should be simple in style, however ele gant tho fabric. All the semi-mourning colors are ex tremely fashionable, particularly tho vio lets and light grays. Cheviots in ligat spring shades are em bellished with large or small downy spotg of contrasting color, Mi3ses and children will wear cloth topped shoes with patent leather vamp tad self tipped calfskin tics. Hawking is to be the next diversion of fashionable society. The first installment of hawks has arrived in New York. The London (England) Board of Edu cation lias appointed six women at a ealary of S4OO each to visit schools. A new fad is to havo a tiny portrait painted in water color 3, half buried in clusters of azaleas, rosea and other flow ers. It is said that 2500 women in t!:« United States hold diplomas from medi cal colleges, either American or Euro pean. The complaint from London is that dresses are growing longer and more in convenient, and the dress suspender is coming into use. The fashion of wearing tan-colored ihoes will be prolonged. Red tics andslipr pers will have a gorgeous run for home, seaside and country. It is a signed, sealed and settled fact that the woman of fashion must sweep <the streets with her skirts. The Paris modistes have signed their names to para graphs embodying this fashion. One of New York's richest women in real estate is Miss Collender, who has an income of $60,000 a year. She is about thirty-five years old, is tall, slender and pretty and possesses a line voice. The brusque and fussy im pulse of these days of false impression would rate down all as worthless because one is unworthy. As if there were no motes in sunbeams! Or comets amons: stars ! Or cataracts in peaceful rivers ! Because one remedy pro fesses to do what it never was adapted to do, are all remedies worthless ? Because one doctor lets his patient die, arc all humbugs ? It requires a fine eye and a finer brain to discriminate —to draw the differential line. " They say " that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion have cured thousands. " They say " for a weak sys tem there's nothing better than the " Discovery," and that the " Favorite Prescription " is the hope of debilitated, feeble women who need a restora tive tonic and bracing nervine. And here's the proof Try one or both. If they don't help you, tell the World's Dispensary Medical Associa tion so, and you get your money back again. ■waanea For Internal and External I me.

A favorite way of serving bananas in Wew Orleans is to cut them lengthwise in two pieces, dust thein with powdered sugar, a little lemon juice and bits of butter, and to bake them in the oven for twenty-five minutes. They should ba basted with the butter once or twice while baking, and served hot in the dish in which they are cooked.— Ladies' Home Compan ion. DECORATING DRAPERIES. Thin draperies, tidies and linen goods may be decorated by painting them with transparent washes of aniline dyes. The tint then becomes part of the fabric and endures well. For this purpose dry ani line dyes that are soluble in alcohol are dissolved with just enough spirit to take up the dye and are bottled. For use the solution may be diluted to the desired tint. The dyes soluble in alcohol are brighter and more desirable than thoso that dissolve in water.— New Turk Dis patch. BOILING CORNED BEEF. As to boiling the beef after it has been corned. Wash it and put it in a kettle with enough boiling water to cover it. Heat it to the boiling point and then draw the kettle back to a part of the range where the water will only bubble. Never let the meat actually boil hard, as that makes it tough and stringy. Cook for five hours; then take the kettle from the fire and set it in a cool plane. Let the meat stand in the cooling liquor half an hour; then take up and serve, if it is to be eaten hot. If to be served cold, placo it on a dish and put a tin pan over it. On top of the pan place & weight. Set away in a cool place for at least ten hours. It will (hen be ready to cut in thin, smooth slices. Let the liquor stand in tho kettle until cold; then Bkim oil the fat and clarify it.—House wife. PROPER WAT OF BLACKING STOVES. The edges of the stove, if they are of polished iron, should not be blacked, but cleaned like a steel knife, with sapolio or brick dust. The nickle knobs and other nickle parts of the stove must bo rubbed bright with a chamois skin or old shrunken llanncl. An ordinary paint and whiting brush is one of tho best things with which to apply blacking to a stove. A still brush, such as is used for this purpose, is the best brush for pol ishing. During the month polish the stove with the polishing brush each morn ing, just after kindling the fire. Keep aa old cloth always on hand in cooking to rub oil any grease spots as soon as it occurs. If the spots are obstinate, a few drops of kerosene oil put ou the stove cloth will remove them. The ground edges and nickle work of the stove should be rubbed off at least once a week, be sides the monthly cleaning when the stove is blacked.— Neio York Journal. RECIPE 3. Fried Egg Plant—Peel one medium sized egg plant, cut it into six round slices about half an inch in thicl'ness,and season with half tcaspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of pepper. Dip the pieces in beaten egg and in fresh bread crumbs and fry them in hot fat five minutes. Remove, salt slightly again and drain them well. Serve on a hot dish over a folded napkin. Potatoes a la Lyonnaise—These pota toes are quite famous for their excellence. Cut eight potatoes, boiled, into round slices; lay them in a frying-pan with an ounce and a half of butter aud therouud slices of a previously fried onion, and season with one-ha'.f pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook well together for six minutes until well browned; toss them well and servo with a pinch of chopped parsley sprinkled over the whole. Stewed Cabbage—Cold cabbage left from dinner can be drained from the pot liquor in which it was boiled, and the? simmered for half an hour iu water, or milk and water; pour oil all the wa*.er when it is tender, and stir in the pot a lump of butter or clarified dripping; let it cook gently, then throw in a cup of milk or cream; thicken it with flour, and season with pepper and salt. Serve with tho cream gravy poured over the cab bage. Indian Sponge-Pudding Crumble cold corn-muffins to make two teacup fuls. Soak in a quart of sweet milk three or four hours. Then add three well-beaten eggs, three level tablespoons of sugar and a pinch ot salt. Beat well, bake one hour in a moderate oven, and serve hot with rich cream aud sugar, or with a sauce made by beating into a cream a heaping tablespoon of butter, a teacup of granulated sugar, one egg, with a very little vanilla for flavoring. It is delicious served with ice-cream. Roasted Tomatoes—Plunge in boil ing water for half a miuuto six good sized, red, sound tomatoes; drain and peel them neatly, then cut away the tops without detatchiug them entirely, and remove the seeds with t> teaspoon. Divide an ounce of good butter into six equal parts and put a piece into each tomato, seasoning with a light saltpoon of salt and one-half the quantity of pepper. Close the tops and put them in a but tered baking dish, moistening each to mato with a very little sweet oil. Put them in a hot oven and bake for twclvo minutes. Remove with a cake-turner, dress them on a hot dish and serve, <* $2500 on a Corpse. I heard lately of a pathetic case of loneliness which comes to a stranger in a strange land, when suddenly deprived of a life-long companion, under the most painful circumstances of doubt and mys tery. The wife of a Frenchman employed as u designer in one of our great tex tile manufactories missed her husband, upon whom she was dependent for sup port. Weeks passed away, and as he was known to have money ou his person it was feared he had met, as the report ers say, with foul play. At last his body was found floating near one of the bridges on Charles River. Upon it was discov ered $2500 which the Frenchman had secreted in his clothing as a safer place than a savings bank or deposit vault, and suspicions that he was murdered for his money were abated by the discovery. As for the widow, she was a victim of conflicting emotions—of grief for the loss of her hurband, and of joy that he had not left her penniless. She had re solved to remain in this couutry till he was found dead or alive, but now she means togo back to France and open a little shop in Paris, where she has friends.— /baton Post. Small Change. Small change, says the London Graphic., is evidently much appreciated in South western France. A fanner in the Dauph iny Alps recently sold some sucking pigs for one hundred and fifteen francs, and stipulated that he should be paid in centimes. The buyer assented, treating the demand as a joke. When, later, he J offered to pay the money in ordinary | cash, however, the farmer held to his | bargain, and summoned the other before ' a magistrate, who decided that the exact I terms of the agreement, must be observed. ' The purchaser, therefore, had to count | out eleven thousand five hundred single j centime pieces for his debt of one hun dred and fifteen francs.— The Ledger.

There Is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put toother, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many yearn doctors nronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it »n --curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
