Flame and flesh color are beau. tifnlly blended in new shot silks for evening wear, There is a sudden fancy abroad for the old-fashioned knotted silk fringes that have not been in vogue for years. For fetes and garden parties, Pompadour mushns are very popu- lar with young girls. With these are worn dainty lace berthas and the new very large round hate of satin Panama in bronze or olive, faced with velvet and trims ed with wreaths of summer's last rosea. These are called "halo" hats, for the reason that they are worn n lit. tie back upon the head, thee expo? ing a very becoming aureole of dark velvet above the waved of hair over the forehead. Black lace over white lace la very beautiful in effect, especially in the evening with diamond ornaments, Some of these charming gowns are demi•trained, and they aro now even adopted by very young ladies in black lace over mauve, surah or pink silk batiste. The trains are very mucic narrower than formerly, and arranged so that the petticoat and bodice aro quite distinct. Thorn is little or no draping done upon these dresses, nod et the front and sides the lace flouncing is put on as a donbin skirt, one flounce much deeper than the other, hot nowhere looped, narrow sheath -like effects being again Bought. The "Churchill" driving coat for early autumn wear is a new stylish model in utility serape designed by an English house in Paris. Tho coat is of an exceedingly soft and fine cloth in invisible checks and stripes, the seams of the coat lisp - ped and stitched on the outside. It is lined with aural:, and faeteued with large silver buttons. Wide English pockets are placed on either side, and there is a deep turn -down collar of dark velvet matching one of the colors in the cloth. The jacket opens over a smocked vest of dark red silk. There is no decided change in hair dressing, although there is a standing promise that thie will oc- our in the near future, when the back hair will descend to the nape of the neck. But this change need not bo anticipated ; the hair will re• main high for some time to come. Small, curiously wrought combo, set with glittering gems, are worn, with here and there a large hairpin to match. The hair is carried up from the neck and formed Into a graceful double knot, through which the pine are run. The long single pins which hold the bonnet in place are indispensible, and are now made in a variety of unique and beautiful deviooe. The reason same men can't make both ouds meetis because they tiro too busily engaged in making one end drink. Tlie Professor—"Does my quos• tion embarrass you ?" Student -- "Not in the least Sir. 11'e tho aria. war I'm bothered eboni." The unprecedented size of the onion orop throughout the United States is said to be sufficient to bring out tears of gratitude. Miss Kate—"Oh, mamma I Don't take those plants, they look too poverty stricken." Mrs. Suddenly ltitoh--"Poverty•slriclten."

Is there going to be any mucin at the church festival tonight ?" asked Snooks of the pastor. "I do nut know," responded that dignitary, who had been many times snubbed by the leader ; "1 do not know, but the choir will sing l" Wife -"What is the matter, John ? you are the most impatient man I ever saw." Husband—(struggling to button his shirt)—"I can't find thie horrid button hole." Wife (placidly)—"Have you looked under the bureau for it ?" A young village girl has obtained the prize for modesty. "So my child," said a young lady to her, you are the most modest young lady here ?" "Oh, for that madam, I can pride myself. And, I may add, if I have not had the other prizes, it is by pure injustice." A lady cornered her wavier half by asking : "My dear, if you can't really drink bad coffee without abus. ing me, how 1s 11 you can drink bad beer without abusing the bar -keep- er ?" He subeided and drank the coffee. Mrs. Millis was asked how she managed to get along so nicely with Mr. Millis, and frankly replied -"Oh I feed him well. When a woman marries, her happiness for a little while depends upon the state of her husband's heart ; after that, it's pretty much according to the state of his stomach." "And don't you know Johnny," raid the minister, who was dining with the family, "why your mamma doesn't want you to eat a second piece of pie ?" Yes, sir," replied Johnny, "she said that if I didn't eat a second piece, and you didn't take any, there would be enough left over for to•morrow." Flunkey—"I beg your pardon, sir, but there is one thing 1 should like to mention at once. I am afraid—e—that I am expected to clean the boots ?" Gentleman— "Bless me, oh, dear no 1 There must be some mistake ; I always clean them myself, and, if you will leave your own shoes outsfdo the door I will give them a polish at the same time." The rapid increase in our jnvenlle population is a matter for congratu• laden and meditation. Congratula- tion. because it is an assurance that the race is in no danger of beooming extinct, and that We are a healthy and prolific people, meditation be• oauee it reminds us of the advance of time, and that the older genera tion are rapidly but surely being pushed out of the way, and will soon be finally shelved, It is some con- solation to know that the young- sters of today will be the bald heads of to -morrow.

After a Half mile had been rowed Kemp book the lead, which he maintained to the end, finishing coolly ten lengths ahead in twenty -ono minutes, twenty- five seconds. The news from Aus• India was awaited with great inter- est in Toronto, and in many quart. ere there was se expectation, as there is always a hope whenever Il,anlao rows, that he would win. This was based on the idea that the longer Harlan remained in Aus • traits the better hie chances were, as against the influence of the An- tipodean olimate, and the fact that while Kemp was a good smiler, he is not au good a seedier nor as big a man as Beach is. Hanlon sailed for Australia from San Francisco August, 1887,and since reaching the other side of the globe has lost one to Beach and twtoe to Kemp, and wen a race from Trickett.

A TaonxzizLn STORY.—A clergy- man not a thousand miles from Thornhill, Dumfriesshire, was ex- amining the parish school. In tine course of examination the Bible class was brought forward. After many questions had been asked and answered, greatly to the satisfaction of the minister, he proposed that any boy might ask him a question, as he might then have an idea what particular information they wanted.
