New dress goods are very rough, by reason of very large twills. As trakhan weaves or bourette neckings, the latter often bestrewn upon stripes, plaids or figures set at in terval -'or perhaps composing them. Very large plaids are seen again, but not so prominently as hitherto. Diagonal stripes are a ? pecial feature . Kv"e tr? ''the" Ya lire breadth; otl.-irs form single wide points meet ing in the middle of the breadth and form such extremes, diminish in great variety to successive small points, while diagonal stripes of same width may show transverse bars within them. Dresses in robe patterns showing ornamentation on the front breadth with lesser touches for sleeves and corsage, and heavily imported and the rough, large pat terned goods will be frequently set in front breadths. Princesse out lines are most in favor for making up, with moderately high sleeves and quite long waists, but coats, either independent or of the same material as the dress, will remain in style and in answer to special inqui ry it may be added that Clark's Mile End cotton still retain the lead for strength, smoothness and elas ticity and is the best substitute for sewing silk especially as it comes in new colors. new hats are still on the order of those worn in summer and still trimmed by long loops or other high garnitures stan ding upright at the back, with cor responding adornments in front. Those having wide front and side brims, present little novelty, but in smaller varieties, iong, narrow con tours give way to broader shapes that are sometimes almost circular. Vassar Sailor hats are repeated in felt or velvet and not alwiys. trimmed on the left side only, since now and again, ribbon is quilled around with upright loops or wings at the back and front. Bonnets of ten show a return to conservative shapes, having a decided crown and are trimmed to a modest height in in front. FANCY RIBBONS with satin surface, in widths of five or six inches, display three belts of strogly contrasting colors, such as ray, orange and blue; yellow, green and blue; red, green and or ange, etc., which melt into each other. Still gayer ribbons show similar belts of color that "meet in sharp outlines, while set upon them are pointed leaf patterns in yet oth er hues, or again may appear in contrasting belts, a satin and moire weave, the latter being changeable. Shaded velvet ribbons are likewise novel and run from widths of an inch a half to six inches, but there is always a demand for plain ribbon and here the choice lies among vel vet, double-faced satin or gros grain. BRILLIANT ORANGE THAT is almost red, is a very prominent color and from thence, in lesser and purer tones, yellow will be conspic uous. Cominsr next, or perhaps even in rivalv, is green, from dark to extremely light: there are bright yellowish browns, beige, tan or gray, with a proportion of heliotrope, old rose, old blue and other blues and coquelicot red. The various hues are combined with the utmost freedom and no contrasts are too audacious. BLACK is verv much used and seen on bty far the greater number of hats, gives effect of shading possible to nothing else". Jet with the same end in view is extremely fashionable, most frequently in open patterns laid on material and in Princess of- Wales tips, which will be popular, one of the three feathers is usually black, the other two, shadings of one col or, in consequence, DlacK ana yellow will be the chosen contrast of the winter, appearing not only in millinery, but through the entire range of dress.

Animal motion is wonderful though from its perpetually meeting the eye, we "take little account of it. ThePholas (a shell-fish) has the power of perforating the" hardest marble by means of a fleshy sub stance, apparently no way suited to so laborious an employment.. It increases its cell as it increases its size, and constitutes a perfect ex ample of the first rudiments of ani mal. The only impulse an 037ster possesses arises out of its power of opening l shutting its shell.

The serpent undulates, ant the lion ant moves backwards; it has no fi(pwer to make the smallest inclination for ard. Marine birds can walk, run, fly, and swim. Some animals can only walk, others only run, and others only gallop; the horse per forms all these motions. The tiger and the crocodile dart; the reiudeer runs but never gallops; the armadil lo walks swiftly, but can neither run nor leap; while the great ant-eater climbs much better than it can walk. The sloth is a large animal, and yet cannot travel fifty paces in a day: an elk will run a mile and a half in 7 minutes; an en telope a mile in a minute; the wild mule of Tartary has a speed even greater than that. An eagle can fly 10 leagues in an hour, and a canary falcon can even reach 253 leagues in the short space of 16 hours. Man has the power of imitating almost all motions but that of flight. To effect these, he has in maturity and health 90 bones in his legs and thighs, 62 in his arms and hands, 69 in his head and 67 in his trunk, lie hag also 434 muscles in the structure of his body, and his heart 8,810 pulsations in an hour.

Editor Gazette: Will you be so kind tu to publish tke following no tice: There is to be held at the City of Raleigh, on Wednesday Oct. 21, a Convention of the Northern, East ern and Western settlers, in the State of Nortu Carolina, with all others who have together ted to the South. It is very desira ble these settlers shall be united in their purpose of promoting the oroirress and development of the 10 country. To this end a prelimina ry convention was held in May, to appoint a time for a convention in the fall. All northern men who have settled in North Carolipa or any other Southern State, are cor dially invited to be present at this meeting. A report has gone out that the Northern Settlers Convention is to convene on Oct. 5th. It has been necessary to change the date in or to accommodate as large a number as possible. Many settlers -Jean 't at tend on an earlier day, because of the harvesting of crops. The time for the Convention is therefore changed from the 5th to the 21st of October 1891, and will take place in the Exposition Build ing. Any who desire to attend will learn particulars by addressing com munications to W. II. Chamberlain, Assistant Secretary. Northern Settlers Association Raleigh, N. C. Gioomy Affairs in Russia.

Professor Foster, of St. Joseph, Missouri, who has achieved some success in his weather predictions, sends out the following as his fore cast for the coming winter: A remarkable period of great storms will occcur during the first half of October, that will be sur passed only by those that will occur in March, 1892. There will be three storm waves during this storm "period, which will cross the conti nent from West to East, along the usual storm centre routes. The first of these storm waves will be most severe in the Mississippi valiey , and the last one on the Alantic coast. The first of these storm waves will be due to leave the Pacific coast about September 30th, cross the Rocky-Alleghany valley from Oc tober 1st to 3rd, and reach the At lantic coast about the 4th. On the 2nd the storm wave will be crossing the Mississippi river, not far from St. Louis, and then Will be of very considerable force in Illinois and Missouri. Accompanying ths storm wave may be expected tornadoes, cloudbursts, hail and severe gales, and within one or two days follow ing it killing frosts will visit most localities north of latitude 36, with a strong probability ot frosts much further south. Hurricanes will develop great force on the North Atlantic at this time, but I cannot give their exact location, but they will probably be not far east of the West Indies. These hurricanes will become very fierce along the Atlantic coast from the 1st to the 18th of October. These October storms will indicate what the com ing winter will be. I expect very great storms from the 1st of Octo ber to the last of Martfo, and if this period of storms covering the first half of October proves to be of more than usual force it will indi cate that I have not miscalculated the weather, and we may then confi dentlv expect a very com, sever and stormy winter, setting in quite.- accomplished we could' undertake early . Saturn will pass its equinox nothing else. I have to congratu the last of October, and to that in- late you upon the success of your fluence 1 uttribute the great increase effort in this direction. of storms since the middle of last May." Home and Farm. Farm And Garden Notes. liotatiou of crops is always bene ficial. The pulverizer is an implement that is not used as extensively as it might be. Chicks should be fed every two hours uutil one week old. The chicks must not be allowed to tread in the water. Dampness is fatal. If proper implements were used or the garden there would be less complaint of the labor required in growing vegetables lor family use. A chick must not be even dam- peued. Water should be given m a manner that only the beak of the chick can become wet A crop will take from the land certain foods iu excess of others and causes it to fail, though it may not be lacking in other elements. Where the poultry are con fined it is necessary to provide plenty of gravel. A box of it should be kept where they can neip themselves. When given a good range tur- keys are less liable to be bothered with vermin than chickens. A lit- tie lard rubbed on tbe top ol their heads and under their wings is a sufficient remedy.

I Love Mv Country. Gen. Longstreet says that on one of the long light marcues in Vir ginia the only way he could get rest was to lie down 00 'the ground while the column was passing and sleep for an hour or so. He woke up just a the straggles wasr com ing along the rear and heard an old Georgia cracker soliloquise about the siuatiou.

A few extracts trom the Silver Cross of the work " of the' Klngsr Daughters in North Carolina for the year 1890, as reported at their An nual Convention held in Raleigh, May 14 and 15, 189i. The State Secretary, Miss . Bettie Carter, in her address, greeted warm ly the representatives of the many sorts of benevolent and educational work conducted throughout the State. In reviewing the year 'g ef forts she begged of each individual present to answer for herself the questions: "What has the influence of the order done for ourselves?" -'Have we kept unspotted from the world?" "Have we invited our King and Master to be our perpetual guest?" If not, she added, we have failed in the first requisite of the Order, which is to be all glorious within. She then presented the history of the year as recorded by the State Circles, and suggested some of the needs of sorrowing humanity that were still waiting for this gra cious touch. Among other things, the Secretary said: "My attention was directed, soon after the adjourn ment of the last year's Convention to the establishment of a training school for the feebled-minded, and an urgent appeal was made to our Order to undertake this work, but we had already committed ourselves to an effort in oehalf of an Industri al, school for the white girls of the State, aTnf lfeit -thatointil that was Another subject has been placed before us.

Somewhere in the 40's Grisi and Jenny Lmd were singing in differ ent theatres in London. Those who went into ecstacies over Grisi's "Norma" were the next eveninglenraptuted with Lind's "Casta Diva." Great was the ri valry between them. Finally Queen. Victoria deeming it a shame that two such gifted wo men should be separated by a mean, unworthy jealousy, requested both to appear at a court concert. Of course, they both came. The queen warmly welcomed them together for the first time. She gave them the signal to begin. Jenny Lind was the younger, and it was arranged that she should sing first. With perfect confidence in her powers, she stepped foward to begin. Chancing to glance at Gri si, she saw the Southern woman's malignant gaze fixed on her . The fierce look almost paralyzed her. Her courage left her, jher voice trembled, everything grew black before her and she almost fell By the greatest exertions of her will however, she finish her aria. A painful silence followed its con clusion a silence that told of her failure. She caught a triumphant expressing on Grisi's face. Despite the clearness of her sen ses she quickly realized that failure meant lost glory, dissappointed hope, the destruction of happiness, grief and mortification to her family and her friends. Suddenly a soft voice that seemed to come from Heaven whispered to her: "Sing one of your old songs in your na tive language." She caught at the thought like an inspiration. The accompanist was striking his final chords. She stepped up to him, asked him to rise and took the vacant seat. Softly her white fingers wandered over the keys in a loving prelude, then she sang. It was a little prayer which she had loved as a child; it belonged to her childhood's repertoire Slur hadn't sung it for years . As she sang she was no longer in the pres ence of her royalty, but singing to loving friends in her fatherland. No one present understood a word of the "prayer." Softly at first the plaintive notes floated on the air, swelling louder and richer every mo ment. The singer seemed to throw her whole soul into that weird, thrilling, plaintive "prayer." Gradually the song died away and ended in a soft sob. Again there was silence the silence of admiring wonder. The audience sat spellbound. Jen ny Lind lifted at last her sweet blue eves to look into the scornful face that had so disconcerted her at first. There was no fierce expression now; instead a teardrop glistened on the long black lashes . After a moment, with the impul siveness of a child of the tropics, Grisi crossed to Jenny Lind's side, placed her arm about her and kissed her warmly, utterly regardless of the admiring audience .Milwaukee Wis consin. r.When your blood is impoverished the remedy is at hand.

No water is to be bad lor twenty miles, and the side of the road is lined with exhausted teams and people.

It isn't leaving o:ie church and jotniug another when you don't like the preacher. It isn't reading so many chapters a day, or saying one prayer over and over. It isu't sitting in the house and looking solemn, aud refusing to eat anything cooked ou Sunday. It isu't putting all the big round apples on the top of the measure, and the little rotten oues ou the bottom. It isu't telling other people what to do io prayer meeting, and let ting the devil tell you what to do iu business matters.
