scuptors they pop the question and institute
proceedings for divorce; they look forward to the
female millennium OF suffrage with an assurance
that makes it foregone conclusion, and our New
York girl gaitns even are beginning to sell papers
and polish boots. From strictly social stand
| point this nearer approach OF the two sexes is
equally apparent. Ladies carry canes thev are
more out of doors and mrgle more freely with
gentlemen in their hitherto exclusive amuselnents:
driving and even riding (astride) are becoming
more and more feminine accomplishments so are
croquet and billiards, swimming and diving
hunting and fishing, walking, rowing and gymnas-
tics, and we shall hear presently of female base
ball and cricket clubs.

figures up its strawberry business for the past
season as follows "Cost Of cultivation, sl,730 80;
expense of harvesting and marketing, sl,S75 &c;
total cost, s9615 46; total receipts from The crop,

raising berries was 4-5 cents per quart; in 1866
II cents; in 1867, 81 cents. Tie cost of packing
,nd marketing in 1865 was 81 cents per quart: in
1866, cents: in 1867, 6 $40 cents. The average
price OF berries IL 1865 was 81 cents per quart,
making the profit per quart 10 cents; in 1866 the
average price was 379 cents, making the profit 1Sl
cents; in 1867 the average price was 20 cents al

OF white or yellow is varied by lines Of pale or
bright blue. These veins are made by the addi-
ton in the soapboer Of some sulphate of iron for
the pale blue or peroxide OF iron for the brighter
color. (This is the statement of the Paris Mdga-

facturer attempts to add too much water the
minerals sink to the bottom, and the soap is not
msrbled. So these veinings are the freak of no
fancy on the part of the manufacturer, but the
certificate Of good quality to the washerwomen,
who accordingly prize them highly.

and So fearlessly, in opposition to the old
