What Befel Two Trojan Dressmakers.

Two of the leading dressmakors of this
city took IL into their heads, about month
ago, to go over to Europe, and make ar.
Engagements for getting the fashions ut the
earliest possible moment. Each had an
eye on the other, each intended 10 get
clear ahead of the other Neither of
them knew that the other was intending to
goabroad, AZ rivals sometimes do, even
if they are women, these two hated each
other. They had not spoken to each
other fnr years, though they had now and
then spoken of each other. They en-
gagged passage by a first class steamer that
sailed about two weeks ago Each knew
that she was to have a companion in her
stateroom, but did not know who she
would be, and was probably somewhat
anxious on this point. Truth is stranger
than tlction. The steamer sailed proudly
down the bay. One of our dressmnkers
was on deck enjoying the scene, which
was novel to her. She was delighted that
she had outwitted her rival up in Troy.
Presently she went down to her state
room to see what sort of room mate she
had, On entering the room she found
herrlval. Both ladies threw uptheir hands,
exclaimed. You herel' and both tainted.
A passenger saw two number three gait
tiers with feet in them projecting through
the doorway. This excited suspicion,
and the matter was Investigated. Both
lad .es were found insenSble The Cap.
tain was heard TO remark to the second
officer, an hour afterward, that he'd be
blessed If he ever saw anybody get STA
sick SO quick as those two women did.

Digging and Care of Potatoes,

FROM planting to cooking, and in all

outrageous is ncglcctng to harvest them
AS soon rs they are ripe No other crop
WAS ever maltreatcd in this way. When
any other crop is fully maturcd, the farm
or secures 1t at once, lest it wastes and
decays. But potatoes, being out of sight
are out of mind until convenient sea

else To do he digs them, ana then peri Laps
