The Primitivist Toy.
. ,
The prevalent toy of the Long Breach
girls is a scent bottle., It is an inch thiok,
and from six to eight inches4ong. The
material is gime, elaborately out,and some.
times trimmed with gold or silver: It gives
its poseeseor something to do with her
. hands, and in that way peeves the purpose
of a cane or crush hat° in the grip of a
• dandy. She carries it with her at the din --
per table, in the surf bath, in the ball rood,
and I've no reason to suppose that ehe
doesn't take it to bed with her. She flirts
with it as with a fan; she sniffs daintily at
its unscrewed top, to give an impression of
extreme seneibility and. fragility. She
poses with it like the fairy queen of a. bur-
lesque with a wand; and she could, on 00-
• caszon, use it as a club to brain ,him who
rwould do her harm. Although I think it
is more man.subduing in the hands of the
frivolous belle,than in a cane or cue held
by the stalwart Georgia wonder, and a
,great deal more magnetic. '

Pure white handkerchiefs are again en

Small talking parrots are the favorite pet

The old fashion of stamping melted seal-
ing wax on the envelope has come in again,
a fashion that,. in America at least, has
ibeen obsolete for nearly half a century. At
all the stationery counters boxes -which
oontaiu several sticks of sealing wax in
popular colors are shown with a handsome
silver or gold bonze seal upon which may
be engraved the initial letter or the family
-oreet, as ordered.
The taper, the stick of wax and the
daintily engraved seal are now requisites of
the fashionable writing table. • To seal" a
letter -with nicety, take plenty of Jima.
When the letter is ready, and the taper
lighted, lay the eeal on the table at your
right hand. Then hold the wax above the
flame of the candle and apply it to the
envelope with a circular motion ; moisten
the seal and bold tne' envelope to the flame
a moment to , soften the wax ; stamp
equarely with the seal, leaving a clear,
perfect impression. It requires practice
to do even so small a thing as this appears
to 130 with neatness and dieptitolai
It is said that an English apprentice
is not allowed to take a proof
impression of a seal until he has worked at
the business for two years. As soowits the
ouetom. is again universally adopted of ,
using the sealing -wax method on:letters,
the postoffice authorities wilSprobablyShut
down' on the whole business, as it largely
increases the trouble of handling letters and
adds tons to the weight of postal matter.
Care should be taken in using the taper.
It will be rernenabered that the lovely and
lamented wife of the poet Longfellow
burned barest! to death an her husband's
library while, sealing a letter. This had
much to do with the ouotom going out of
fashion here.

interesting information regarding the
weather. The climates described are all
those of various partsof the Province of
Ontario, which, as the evader remarks,
"presents south of the 46th. parallel, a
greater variety of climate than any other
non-mountainous'distriot of equal' area on
this oontineht." -Windsor, though a full
degree farther tenth than Hamilton, has
almost the same temperature inthe mid-
summer and midwinter menthe, with a
greater variation in the Cold of qifferent
winters than either Hamilton or almost
any other part of Ontario. The
Niagara district and southeast coast of

'than any, other parts Of the Province, the
last named surpassing in equability almost
'every other district in the middlelatitudes
of this continent. In the very peculiar
climate of Pelee Island, the summers are
slightly warmer than on the mainland ;
the autums are as warm as on the Ohio.

therefore, not surprising that under these

winters than the Miesiseppi Valley, a couple
of hundred milee farther southtand a much
more equable climate than almost every
other part of the continent east of the

fashion of some people to talk of the change-

that the summers of Cetera° are short
