In several of the large dress making
establishments in New York, the work
is done by big, bearded men, who earn
from twenty to thirty dollars a week.
They are usually from the continent of
Europe, where they learned the trade
-women's dress making being a com.
mon occupation for men in Austria and
Hungary. In some places in Europe,
young men eft" the dresses to the pur.
chasers; but New York is not yet quite
so far advanced as to introduce that
custom.

SOLU BLE
PACIFIC CUANO,
IMPROVED IN
QUALITY AND CONDITION.

THE quality of this Guano is materially
L improved this season by the addition
to ITS composition of large per cent. Of the
Salts Of Potash.
1t is improved in condition BY being
brought into market sufficiently dry and
uniformly fine to pass with facility and
regularity through the orifcos of the
WHEAT DRILL.
More than 81 200, 900 is involved in the
production of this Guano, and the trade in
it has steadily increased, until now il far
exceeds that of any other fertilizer.
The Pacific Guano Company has far
greater interest in the maintenance of the
quality OF its Guano than any number of
consumers can have; hence no apprehension
need exist as to its continued excellence.

Dear Sri have Just completed the

It, It may be considered valuable to give re

with disordered digestive organs, and to re.
store the tone Of the stomach when impaired
by excessive summer heats and sedentary
habits. To be most beneficial it must be
used judiciously in accordance with medical
advice and must be assisted BY a reasonable
attention to diet and exercise.
Properly used it will undoubtedly prove
useful in an extensive range of diseases of
the alimentary canal. The constituents in

the grasshoppers have attacked the corn

and the knife of the mower had to be
taken out aud cleaned after making one
round Of the field.
