As an instance of costumes which en tirely deny and falsify the natural fo of the body, I will quote the farthingal . of the end of Elizabeth's reign. A wail so long that it seemed 'to 'belong to th knees more than to the hips ; shoulder padded so high that the undulatin grace of the neok was wholly lost ; head made to look ridiculously sm amid the mass of material under whit it :was buried—material in "position that it was impossible that it could re tains- or did retain, without a wire sup port or else the head recalled that o • John the Baptist, lying in .a platter shaped ruff. A cornet disgracefully lo and disgracefully tight, cut square, an stiffened with buckram until every memory of the human form was ob- literated ; shoes so broad and short tha nothing but the misery of bunions coup excuse them ; the wide farthingal: square where the hips are rotund, an perpendicular where the body curves. This costume (at its worst) would ap pear to have beendesigned with bu . one object—that of rnal;ng the per- son grotesque; and were it not that pretty woman looks pretty anyhow an anywhere, one marvels why woman di. not " strike." Yet, the faults of the dress moderated, a beautiful costume remains. A stag up frill of lace is pretty and very be conning if it will keep in its .place. Hi g. sleeves are piquant, and recap a prett shrug, when they do not obliterate an- atomy.: There is nothing radical' wrong in a stomacher, nor in a wid shoe, within limits. This shoe, ' in moderate form, would prevent the mal ady which the same shoe exaggerated, seems to accommodate ; and a some- -what short dress has its advantages if allowed to falin in its own folds, an not in stiff artificial pleats like a• val nue. • The crinoline of fifteen years ago ha some disadvantages less - than the far- thingale. The upper outline was no angular, and the skirts were made suf- ficiently full to form 'their own folds. The :waist, pinched and ugly enough was nearer to its original place over th:. hips, and -the shoulders -were, not de formed by padding. One only looked as though one stood in an inverte basin with its bottom out, instead of i a drnm.. At the same time, the Eliza bethan dress was 89 rich in detail tha: the whole figure presented` an appear ance of extreuaemagnificence—a woma was scarcely a woman, but a, prop t support a heap of exquisite needle-wor and jewelry and lace, and looked like at sort of prickly -pear. But in crinolind time naught of all this atoned for the badness of form. The colors and . ma- terials were of the poorest and showiest The trimmings were unheaning an debased ---a woman succeeded in spoil ing her appearance without producin anv adequate corresponding effect. The Bus -11m sal. Many curious 'anecdotes illustrativ of the manners of the early settlers i Australia are told in connection wit the strange travels through the bus made by the late Mrs. Chisholm. 0 one occasion, while journeying with party of girls, a strong bushman sud denly sprang from the thick covert, an laic' hold.ofthe reins of her horse. Th driver, taking him for bush -ranger was about to strike -him over the head, when Mrs. Chisholm arrested his hand The man asked: Are you Mrs. Chisholm ?" • " " I am." You are the very ipersim. I wantec to see. Do you see that nice-lookin; farm on the side of the hill?" I do." " Well, theu, the face and smile of . woman never crossed my" threshold Now, for God's: sake, Mrs. Chisholm, • you have got a nice Tiperaly girl witl you, leave me one ;" and pulling out large bundle of bank -notes, he added " This is the thing that will do it wit the clergyman. I wish you would se what I have in the cottage—severs flitches of bacon, a chest of tea, a bac of sugar, and plenty of everything besides, 1 have a bullock dray, horses cows and calves, with lots of fowls -an pigs too." Mrs. Chisholm said to this modes bushman I have several nice Tipperary girt with me in the drays, but at presen 1 am going throlwgh the district, and. never make matches on the road." •` Oh, L would feast your whole part for aweek if you would only conside>� my case, and may God bless you!" Mrs. Chisholm did settle on a far not far off a nice Tipperary girl that sh thought would suit this well-to-do bush mart, and had no fear that he woulc not soon find ' her ` out ; and somr months afterward Mrs. Chishol had the pleasure of hearing of then marriage. • How to Work Successfully. A mall working . by the day need: some one to think for him, to tell hili what to do and how to do it, and th€ more varied the character of the worl the greater need is .beta for constant supervision on the part of the employer Soule of the most successful farmers have ever known, were not men wlxc� worked. hard themselves. They sati that - the work was -- clone, and don promptly and properly, but rarer- dic much "steady work with their owl. bands. They had the faculty of direct- ing, planning, and seeing that every- thing -vias in order. I have a moan digging potatoes -y the bushel. He works hard and makes ev cry strop' tell, and earns 51 50 per• day, while ordinary day hands get 75 cents. A few days ago I asked hini wliy li did not hire a man or .two to help him Can't you male thein work as fns as you do S" Ire thought he could ; he though they -would keep up. • said I, " if you get thre hien and pay them 51 per day each, alic make diem earn 51 50, you would inak 3 a day instead of 51 50." It seemnetl to be a new idea to him And judging from the number of far mere who go into the fields and wort alone, this idea of the value and cost o "tperintenelerice is not fully appreciated —Jos/ ISA iI(. rriS. " Jews in Bologna. A synagogue has been erected in Bo Luna, in Italy, and Jewish journal. make the fact the occasion of recallin the sad fortunes of the Hebrew race i that city. For two centuries no Israel- ite was permitted to live there. In 1593 they were expelled, 9 000 iu num- ber, and carried away the bones of their &ucestors t bury' them in Piave di Cento. Pri r to that the city had at one time po sessed sixteen synagogues, of which were destroyed. After the acaession of Pius IX., a few Jews re- urned to Bologna and settled there ; but not until. the . city passed beneath the rule of !Victor Emanuel, was the erection of another synagogue permitted. Within recent years the Mortara kid- napping case made Bologna notorious throughout the world. bringing a Protracted Court- s • p to a Finale. „A very sw et story of love comes from Gincintiati, whence very few sweet things ever come, and; probably, we never shout. have had this enchanting tale had not the hero and heroine been imported fo • the occasion from Ken- tucky, a Sta e which is abandoned to the raising )f heroes and Democratic majorities, red heroines and superior whiskey.
