Trimming Bonnets.
Ribbons, laces and flowers are the
materials most used for '"trimming the
new bonnets. Pompons, aigrettes of
marabout, and short ostrich tips are on
r many hats, but it iso said .feathers will
not be as much used as they were last
summer! Tlie ribbons are iiarrow, va
rying' troiri a shorts inch to two inches
, in vidth; and they may be of velvet with
satin on0 the wrong side, or else otto
,man repped'on one side with satin on
4 the 'opposite, or perhaps both sides are
"t fbpped; 'the only brocaded ribbon's are
- of. Persian coloring, and those with
jlarge balls of velvet or, satin on a
, repped ground. Occasionally a hand-
some bonnet will Be 'trimmed witli bias
velvet or ottdmnii' silk 7ut from the

pinri&l 'on'thVlower part-in -two-points
by shell pins, and the ribbon then forms
long str ngs; or else the ribbon is passed
twice through a buckle at the top of the
crown, and then tied down the sides of
the bonnet. The lining of brims is most
often plain velvet cut in the shape of
.the brm, but there are others with folds
of piping velvet inside, or lace frills, or
a thick cluster of flowers: newer still
are the double frills of velvet on the
edge, resting on the hair without any
of the bonnet frame beneath them. The
ottoman and satin r bbons are most used
for the cockscomb bows that take their
name from having notches like th'ose of
thecomb of a cock cut' in the 'ends of
the many pieces of which they are made.
These bows are as tightly strapped as
their many loops can be, and there are
also many of the notched ends'of r.b
boh left rstiff and bristling: thus on a
CMtr-colored bonnet is a raspberry red
ottoman bow of four loops ot ottoman
ribbon that is two inches wide; the loops
'are four inches deep, and there are also
twelve notched ends; to' tie these to
gether5 tightly is pale raspberry ribbon
an inch wide, and of this there are also
four long loops and four notched ends.
This" makes a 'mammoth bowl'that is
perched on top of the bonnet, and to se
cure it the straws are ripped apart in
front ot the crown, and ends of the rib
bons, are passed through the ripped
space; the effect is odd and. striking.
.S milar trimmings ,are made with flow
ers" and feathers," and are conihiended
for round faces. The fullruche'of. flow
ers around the, brim will be; more be
coming to slender oval faces. The
strawberry red ribbons are much used
to tie on bunches of,yellow flowers, and
duller retl with the dark stem-of-pink
green shades is a favorite combination
of colors. Leather laces and those
merely of leather-color are used with
the brighter soldat red, which is the
familiar Turkev red. Harper's Bazar.
"He Was."
We "all know that volumes might be
written on the mighty subject,'1 "How
not tb do it" It is a subject on 'which
weill have, practical experience in our
own persons if we .aret lazy, stupid or
awkward; in the persons of others if
we are energetic, clever or capable. If
one had to compose an epitaph ior a
mah of whom one desired to say noth
ing, then how not to write it might be
come difficult. In such a dilemma,"
many years ago, a Sussex 'Squire lound
himself. He had a bailiff, w.hom he
.had discovered to have indulged in all
kinds of malpractices. This1 unjust
steward had robbed his master in every
possible way. and when detected was
dismissed. Whether he could dig or
whether he was not ashamed to beg,
history saveth not His master, when
bidding him be fc gone, added these
words: "For the sake of jour wife and
familyI will do nothing to you, but aft
er your- death I will punish ou se vere

bailiff did not "trouble himself ' much
about this thieat. " Wit it was carried
out.'iThe man died; the master toot
on himself the task of erecting his tomb

- If Jules Verne"Wi.shes-anfenflluring
renown as an imaginative writer he
should come to this country and sit at
the feet of the Western miner and hunt
er. They can. in the vernacular, give
him points. In seeing visions anil . in
dreaming dreams they have a fertility
of resource which" remains unparal ed.
Xot long since we were told of a West
ern miner who crawled into a cave in
some lonely mountain. Xow most men
would have simply lied about the size
of the cave, its stalactites and subter
ranean lake. But the imag nation of
the Western brother soared above such
hackneyed themes. ,He electrified his
gaping friends with a tale of a marvel
ous image seated in the cave, the figure
of a man, composed of gold, silver and
copper, wearng a helmet. Nor was
this sufficiently mystic and wonderful.
He went on to tell of a bright flame
issuing Jrom the mouth of the image.
Then he probabby remarked that "he
would "take his straight" and ex
pressed his ability to 4 knock out ' any
other liar in one round.
But the golden gas-jet has been ex
tinguished by the appearance of a
'cli.l-dweller ' in New Mexico. It ap
pears that tome three weeks ago several
men were hunting in the vicinity of the
ancient cave dwellings near Espanola,
N. ,M. They saw fit to enter one of
these caves for the purpose of eating
lunch. The loral chronicler, whose ac
count is nearly as remarkable as the ap
parit on, states that they drank both
.beer and champagne. Now had thev
remained faithlul to the usual whiskv "of
the West they would have encountered
nothing worse than snakes. But their
unhallowed mixture of beverages led
to an appalling result "At the en
trau e to the cave stood a wild, weird,
unearthly looking being." Now comes
his description. "Our informant, a
cool-headed, self-poised man, and a
mountaineer of two scores of years'
standing, avers that he was not a whit
under eight feet in height. 'His head,
which was bare, was elongated and rose
cone-like to at least ten inches above
the hair-line." This would appear to
be an account of a mountain with no
pay streaks above timber line, but it
isn't. "His eyes were prefernaturally
large and shone with a light whose
vividness sent a queer thrill to
every startled hunter of the
little group who looked into their
flamc-ht depths." Now, that we
consider really affecting, especially the
44 queer thrill" and 4,the flame-lit
depths." "His hands -and feet were
also enormous. The upper part ot his
body was clothed in short wraps, con
sisting of skins dressed by some art now
unknown. He carried a club ot enor
mous size; the smaller end, sharpened,
seemed iron-tipped." But ju-st as our
interest rises to the boiling point,, we
aie tbkl that " he bounded away up the
almo-t perpendicular face of the moun
tain and disappeared." Then the writ
er gravely oes on to remark that this
appearance is incomprehensible unless
"somewhere in impassable mountain
fastnesses the remnants of the prehs
toric cliff-dwellers exist" It is stated
that the " hrst impulse of one of the
hunters was to shoot the c'iff-dwel'er.
but he retrained, and his self-denial
can not be too highly extolled."
It is evident that the progress of civil
izat'on has not proved an unmixed good
to the West The replacing of "tangle-
.foot" with beer and champagne and tho
introduction of Jules Verne's works
must be held) responsible for these re
markable apparitions. It is a cohl day
when the inno ent brother from the.
Far West is unable to produce a tale of
graven-imagts, wild cliH-tlwellers, bliz
zards, or incalculably rich mines Ni
