PRICE AND STYLES or FURs.

1
Serviceable and handsome furs have
come within the reach of moderate pur-
ses, owing, perhaps, to the ingenuity
displayed by furriers in the adaptation
of skins formerly unheard of.
Seal skin sets of fine quality are to
be had very low. These look well with
walking dresses, soften the complexion,
and last, though not least, do not at
tract moths.
They are preferable to the coarse
qualities of mink, which wear lighter,
and are hard to protect. The fur known
as the Alaska sable is somewhat lower
in price than seal skin. 1t has very
rich effect and is preferred by many.
The price of Russian sable puts it be-
yond general reach, a muff and boa
costing from S16O to $500.
Ermine has decreased in price. This
is the most becoming of all furs, but it
is reserved for carriage, dress and even
ing wear.
For use no fur excels the black As
trachan, and the price is very moderate.
In this climate such a set is very desira-
bic. Thus mufhed one can face all
weather, as rain does not hurt the fur
Trimming furs are sold by the yard,
and are very effective ON velvet over
dresses and sacques 1t is allowable to
put them on heavy wooden stuffs, but

OF ke-zng is healthy, is question for
physicians to answer. There is certain
~ ground for debate.
These sets come in ermine, French
ermine, Iceland lamb, Persian lame and
squirrel.
The putting away of furs, after the
season, is an important matter. Accord
ing to fur dealers camphor should not
be used. The furs should be hung in
the air for several days, beaten thorough
~ with a light switch, rolled in brown
paper, put in boxes, and placed in dry
closet. At intervals, through the sum-
mer, it is well to take them out, and ex-
anime and air them. This is all that is
necessary for their preservation from
moths. -Den0resfs Monthly.

STEAM FLOWING.

1t is a singular fact that, with all the
practical progressive ingenuity to which
as nation we are justly entitled, we are
behind all Europe, and even behind old
Egypt, in awaiting ourselves of the very
important advantages of steam blowing.
In the cultivation of large tracts OF
land steam blowing is undoubtedly
more efficient, as well as more econo-
mical, than the present system. Our
English cousins fully appreciate this.
There are in England several different
establishments, employing over twelve
hundred men each in the manufacture
of steam plows. The plan found to
work best in Great Britain, is to have
organized companies who hire out their
steam machines and do the work by
contract, and it is said that more than
five hundred steam plows are thus held
for hire. The success of the expert
ment is proved by its working on tract
of five hundred acres near London. So
poor was the land deemed that it would
not bring a rent of three dollars per
acre, but after being plowed by steam it
brought clear profit of $4,000 on
grain crops. Scotland also finds no
difficulty in making steam blowing
''pay." In Germany the same mechani-
cal force meetsAwith general approval,
while further in the East the pacha of
Egypt employs four hundred of these
plows. In those countries the lands are
old, and thoroughly freed from all OBJ
struetions, which may account for the
extensive use of steam plows. Then,
again, the land being held in immense
estates, the protrietors are able to pur-
chase and use them with great economy,
when their expensiveness would pre-
clude small landholders from the posi-
bility of availing themselves of their
advantages. But our western prairies
are naturally level and free from OBJ
structions, and there seems to be no ex-
listing reason for their not being plowed
by steam, other than the reason which
causes the Turk of Asia Minor and the
greaser of Mexico to-day to use a wood
EN- pillow instead of an iron one-to wit,
thriftless ignorance The use of the
steam pillow is no longer an experiment,
as the abve English statistics prove. 1t
but remains, therefore, for our western
farmers to club together and purchase
them, using them first for themselves,
and then doing their neighbors' blowing
by contract, making money by the
operation. If the members of a new
colony for instance, would combine and
purchase one of these plows, it viii do
more blowing in a single day than all
the men together, leaving the laborers
free to perfect all the other details ne
cessary to establishing themselves; or
private individuals might purchase
them and pillow by contract, as is now
done, in many instances, with reapers
and mowers, and almost universally
with thrashing machines.-ZHe Free

MArERL4Ls FOR MANURE.

| The latest harvest of the season is at
hand. 1t is the gathering of materials
for q stock of manures for next year.
On this work depends the amount which
may be reaped from next years crop.
If the supply of manure can be doubled
the crops maya be increased in more
than equal proportion. It is not the
droppings of the stock alone that con-
stitute manure, there are many mate
rails that may be gathered from other
sources equally valuable. The great
bulk of the manure from stock consists
of undigested vegetable fiber, as crude
and unaltered In character as when it
existed in the shape of hay, straw, or
fodder. But its mechanical condition
has been changed, and in its present
state of minute division it more rapidly
enters into decomposition. That is the
manure. Every farmer has it in hishw
control abundance of material worth as
much as the droppings of his cattle
which, if gathered and mingled with the
more easily decomposed matter, will
furnish for his crops food of the richest
description. OF these the first in i'm
portance is forest leaves. These rapidly
decay, and contain much larger pro-
portion of the most valuable fertilizers
than the wood. While dry wood con-
tains from one-tenth of a pound to
four pounds in the thousand in potash,
dry leaves and young twigs contain from
half pound up to ten pounds of potash
in the thousand. Almost exactly the
same relative. proportion holds good in
regard to the phosphoric acid contained
N these substances. A thousand pounds
of leaves of the mixed forest
growths, common in the United States,
will yield nearly two pounds of this
most indispensable fertilizer. Leaves
may be gathered at any time before
snow falls. They should be raked sto-
gether with hay rakes-either hand
rakes or horse-an gathered into piles
They may be hauled now or in winter,
but now is the accepted time. A hay
rack, protected at the sides by a few
boards is an excellent vehicle to haul
them in; large barrel hoops. covered

The London Economist contains q
very careful editorial on g The Ameri-
can Cotton Crop of 1871-1S72, " which it
will be remembere5ms l az, 966 bales
short of the crop previous year.
After comparing thsssfeId OF cotton in
recent years with that of the same sta
pie before the war, and remarking that
though America does not hold the same
relative place that it then did in sup
plying the markets of the world with
cotton, its place is still by far the NEST
important and affects the markets smost.
The writer in the Economist proceeds ::
But the effect on,$he markets is not
manifested exactly 10 Ehe old way.
This effect now APP 80 to be traceabIe
to the unusual magnitude of the fuc-
tuations which are observable in the
crop. The difference. between 1S70-1
and 1877, as we have seen, was 1875
600 bales, and there was difference of
l ,198, 900 bales between 1901 and the
previous year. To all appearance such
large fluctuations were unknown before
the civil war. The highest we notice
was in 186O-61, when the crop was l.
013, 900 bales short of the highest re-
corded crop of 4, 669, TO bales in the
previous year, and previous to that
the maximum variation was about 700,
600 bales. The consequence that though
the average crop may be relatively rather
smaller than before in relation to the
total supply, yet the limit of variation
is wider, and permits of changes which
are quite as great in relation to the sup
ply as were the smaller changes in the
crop when there was practically no other
supply but American. If this ex-
IRENE variability should be permanent,
in consequence of some popularity in
the conditions of free labor, it viii have
most disturbing effect on the cotton
trade, and good deal of anxiety must
be felt by all interested until longer
has been obtained.

MURDER AND LIFE INSURANCE
CURIOUS CASE.

Our readers have not forgotten the
mysterious murder in Connecticut some
time since, of Captain Colvocoresses, a
gentleman of wealth and position who
had formerly held commission III the
United States navy. No clue to the
perpetrator of the crime was ever OBJ
tanned, and we believe all search has
been abande.aed but the case has now
assunkd new and startling phase
which viii arouse deep interest through
out the country.
AT the time of his death, Captain
Colyocoresses' life was insured for the
enormous sum Of 1885,. 600. The com
'Fset hes Issuing the policies refused to
4 pay, and suits have been commenced by
E.Se heirs q the deceased against the
MutpH Ietropolitan, New York Life,
Cincinnati Mutual Life, and Phoenix
Life INSURANCE Company of Hartford
Thedefeltse set up by the latter com
pany- Srsich it is understood Is identi-
cal with az the rests that Colvoco-
resses obtained the policy with the IN
tention- of defrauding e corporation
which insured him by committing sui
eide This. to say the least, is novel
plea, and the developments of the trial
will be eagerly scrutinized to ascertain
the facts upon which said plea is based.
Men do not often kill themselves to
make other people rich, and we hardly
think CoIvocoresses had any intention
of becoming food for worms in order
that his family might have S1S5, 600.
He was healthy, wealthy and reason
ably wise he had agreeable domestic
surroundings and an abundance of
friends; and, all things considered. was
about the last man in the world anx-
ious to get into a coffin. That he de-
hberately snuffed out life's candle to
beat the life insurance companies we do
not for moment imagine and unless
they can prove the charge to the salts
faction of judge and jury we hope they
will be compelled to hand over to the
dead znsns Representatives the comfort
able sum on which he paid premiums. -

railroad director were dashed to every locomo-
tive. there would be fewer railroad accidents,
and if doctors had to take their own physic be-
fore administering it to their patients, fewer
people would be poisoned. DR. Joseph Walker,
of California, took this course when he first
compounded the famous Vinegar Bitters which
now rank as an inestimable household rene -
in all parts of the United States. He healed
himself with this specific before he offered it
to the world. He introduced it with a simple
statement of the manner III which he had dis
covered its vegetable ingredients and been
cured. while wandering, sick and poor, among
the California tribes. He stated what the
preparation had done for himself, and few
sufferers from dyspepsia, biliousness, rheuma-
tism, lung diseases, and many other prevalent
disorders believed him, tried the new restora-
tive and were more than satisfied with the re-
suits. In this way the sale of the Vinegar Bit
tiers began, and we mention the fact an evi-
dence that in this age Of intelligence and in
quiry, nothing that Is really valuable to man
kind can prove a pecuniary failure--eyen
though it may lack the help of capital, and
have to fight its way against powerful opposing
interests. Within two or three months after
its introduction. the article became self-sup-
porting, and it now yields maguifcentannual

Consumption. But there are thousands Of
cases who bring it on by their own imprudenoe,
such as wearing damp clothing, and goina from

lungs, and then n ,tter or phlegm will collect,
which nature will try to relieve by coughing
