Some Fashions.

Bonnets with brims are most becoming
to ladies who wear their hair falling
over their forehead. Strings tied under
the chin are becoming to all.
The fashions this fall tend too much to
the fantastic and gorgeous and can not
be called pretty.
The large circle cloak, with pointed
hood in the back, bids fair to be the most
fashionable.
The Rousby hat, with its depressed
front and upturned brim in the back, is
displacing all others.
As many as nine English lark's wings
were seen on q hat at recent New
York opening. They were all arranged
on one side and formed only part of
the trimmings.
Jeanne DArc chatelaines or belts of
gold, silver and other metals are among
the novelties of the passing moment.
New sets of French jewelry initiate all
the details of fine sets, such as the cop
per red of the gold antique enamels,
and the quaint designs for necklets and
brooches.
Square neckerchiefs of silk and wool,
to wear in the street until furs are put
on, have white centers with striped bor-
ders of light color.
A stylish bonnet is made of brown
felt, and has high crown and broad
brim lowered in the middle in front and
raised on the sides. A cream-colored
scarf is draped around the crown; the
outside is trimmed with shaded
havana-colored amazon feather falling
down the back where the feather
starts from the middle of the brim is 9
bird with outstretched wings.

National SalutatiOns.

An acute critic has said that the char
acter and habits of nation may be in
ferred from the common greetings among
them. The old Hebrew salutation,
"Shalum," "Peace," indicates the ma
tional longing for quiet home, and a
conscience at ease. The Greek, "Chaire,"
Rejoice, be glad,"' points to the love OF
life and action, which was universal In
Greece. The Roman "Sdtre,: f" Yale"
"Be healthy" "Be strong" shows the
value attached to bodily strength and
vigor, and fitness for war. The Arab,
"May God strengthen your morningp
off God will, thou art vel" !" brings into
the foreground the Arabs faith in des-
tiny and Gods providential care. The
Oriental, "May thy shadow never be
less," shows the honor put on obesity
and largeness of stature. The French,
How do you carry yourselfr' points to
the regard for forms and outside appear
ances, which is so controlling in France.
The German, How goes it~ shows the
habit of abstraction and generalizing, 30
universal in Germany, dropping out per-
sons and using the neuter gender. "The
English, How do you dor and How
are your" point to the practical char
acter of the English mind, which insists
that everybody must do something, and
lead an active and useful life and also
their idea that character is of more i'm
portance than outward FORMS and cour-
tesies. lf.t.,..y
There is certainly a curious resem-
blance between national tastes and hab-
its and the forms of greeting, which is
worthy of careful study.

A New Motor.

And now here is another new motor,
says the Danbury News man. A pro-
fessor, whose name we forget, but pos
terity will not, has been experimenting
with a growing squash. He gave the
vine every attention, and inclosed the
young squash in an iron frame, open at
the top, so that it could grow in an up
ward direction only. Then he put on the
weight, increasing the amount every day.
The squash grew and grew, forcing back
the weight until it sustained foe thousand
pounds. This is no idle experiment. The
professor believes that vegetables can be
used as q motor. If he is right we shall
soon witness a revolution in the means of
transit. Take, for instance, a train of
cars. He proposes having box six feet
long, three feet deep, and of width equal
to a car. This box to be filled with a
rich compost, and planted with squash
seeds. When the vine has 30 far de-
veloped as to bring out the fruit, the box
is attached to the rear car of the train,
and the healthiest squash on the vine is
set in powerful iron clamps outside the
back end of the box. As the squash ex-
pands the train moves. When it is de-
sired to stop the train the frame contain
ing the motor is hoisted by a small der
rick from the box into the air, and
dropped back again on resuming motion.
Two men only are required to run train
by this process. One to act as conductor,
and the other as a sort of engineer.
gardener. He is to prod the roots with
hoe, water the plant, and manage the
derrick. The idea is so startlingly novel
as to appear almost like dream, but the
professor himself is tangible fact, and
he has full confidence in the project. Al
soon as he completes his arrangement
he will run train from Philadelphia Il
New York. He expects to do 1t In
about three months.

The Mayor of Liverpool gave ban
quet to the Earl of Derby few evenings
since. Lord Derby, in the course of his
response to toast, expressed an opinion
that the insurrectionary difficulty in
Turkey had been exaggerated. He said
the great powers were not disposed to
assist the Insurgents. It would be i'm
polite to concede selfgovernment to
Herzegovina. Judicious reforms might
alleviate discomfort, although q radical
cure could hardly be expected.
Abiding to England's relations with
China, he said: "No further intelligence
had been received from Pekin. Every
one must depricate war while honor
ably avoidable. It was necessary, how
ever, to insist upon just and moderate
demands, and not shirk our duty because
it was unpleasant. II trouble should
arise the fault would not be ours"
Lord Derby's speech concludes with
the following words: "From what we
know already, am hopeful matters will
20 we'll"

In vain her parents and hny compan-
ions tried to cheer her; only solace
was to wander where he Il wandered.
or to sit beside the magic hntain and
pour out her sorrows to guardian
spirit of the waters.
One evening she was seal as usual
by the margin of the sprinl one after
another the young girls ohe valley
had filled their pitchers, Impressed a
kiss upon the brow of sweetJna. and
left her. Sleeping calmly ins marble
bed the fountain lay uncov\d, while
the silver moonbeams treried and
danced as they kissed its pellul bosom.
Like some lovely vision, the Sden sat
with her hands clasped upon 4 breast,
and her pure, holy face upturn to the
glorious heavens. Suddenly trees
rustled wildly, and the watt were
agitated. She started; her low stood
beside her. With low murpi of de-
light the maiden sprang up andh,eathed
her arms round his neck. ~

The pair rambled long rough tbe

lover had indeed much to II that was
pleasant to the maiden'sF. He had
given up home and countE6r her sweet
sake, and had come to dAl with her
forever in that lovely vail.
1t was late when Unahead pressed
her pillow. Strange wilfisions broke
the maiden's repose, aIangry voices
shrieked and murmui In her ears.
Haunted by some undehbl impression
of coming i'll, she awohffrighted. The

Her raven hair hting wildly round

late; the sun is ready rising in glory
behind the easterhills. The fountain
is no longer visil !, but in its place
white foamy torbt comes sweeping on
like angry ghoj retreating from the
daylight. Shrjs of anguish now fall
upon her ear, al wild, affrighted groups
fit quickly paher. Some pause, and
urge her to Rwith them; but statue

AGRICULTURAL ITEMS.

SEPTEMBER and October butter is the
best for winter use.
ENGLAND, as estimated, will require
this year eleven million bushels of wheat
from abroad.
The loss to Posey county, Ind, result
ing from the summer floods, is put down
at two million dollars. Notwithstandin
this very heavy loss and discouraging
condition, it is said the farmers will seed
larger acreage than ever.
The course of crop rotation in Eng
land is to follow grass with wheat, and
that with a root crop. Turnips, for
stock feed, used to be nearly the univer-
sal root crop, but they are failing in some
localities of late, and mangolds take the
place.
DURING the last year we exported to
England 50,000,000 bushels of wheat,
and the year before, 71,O36, 900. The
latest information from that country in
dicates deficit this year of 10000, 900
bushels, and we will be called on to sup
ply the most of it.
ACCORDING toa Vicksburg newspaper,
there is not a broom factory in the
South. If there were a market for
broom-corn, farmers could realize one
hundred dollars per acre by its produc-
tion, and capital invested in its manufac-
ture would pay forty per cent.
The wheat crop in Canada is below
the average this year, yet it is better than
was expected. Corn promises better
Weld than for several wears. The Colo
RADIO beetle has reached Canada, but the
damage to the potato crop is not large.
Hay is very large crop this season.
NEBRASKA is proving a great State.
for sheep husbandry. The splendid ex-
hibitiOn at their State Fair this year
gave emphasis to this fact. Sheep there
are not so liable to disease, and even the
finest grades flourish. The Merinos at
the fair were said to be exceedingly
fine.
CALEB S. HOLBRooK, of Holbrook,
Mass, has sold in eighteen years from
single peach tree planted in half hogs
head not less than two thousand three
hundred dollars worth of peaches. Some
few of them were sold as high as thirty
six dollars a dozen, many of them at
from twenty-four to twenty-eight dol
lars per dozen, and all at an average of
eighteen dollars per dozen, mostly in the
month of February and March.
THE following are the counties in Min
nesota which were devastated by the To-
Gusts, and the estimate of the destruction
of wheat in each this season:

onies of bees are kept, representing a
capital of more than one million dollars.
These, even in the most unfavorable
years yield profit of ten per cent. and
in propitious seasons, such as the year
1910 was, the yield was fully one hun.
dred per cent, or more than one million
dollars. 1t is we'll ascertained that the
whortleberry and buckwheat blossoms are

The Kansas State Horticultural So
ciety recently adopted the following res
olutions:
Resolved, That in the opinion of the men,
bers of this Society, birds are the most eff
fectual means of subduing and keeping in
check the hordes of destructive insects that
prey upon our fruits and other products.
Resolved, That as a Society we earnestly
protest against the Wholesale destruction of
quails, grouse, and other insectiver0us birds,
either for food or sport, practiced in most
parts of our State. Furthermore,
Resolved, That we earnestly request the
Legislature, at its next session, to enact such
laws as will prevent the killing of prairie
chickens, quails, plovers, or other insect
iverous birds, and shipping them to distant
markets, or exposing them for sale in the
market of our own State, for term Of not
less than five years.

Madrid and SDain.

A correspondent says: Madrid is, per-
haps, the most disappointing city in
Spain. 1t gives satisfaction to only one
class namely, the habitual pleasure
seekers and lovers of frivolity; but
neither to the true, proud Spaniard,
coming fresh from all the wild grandeur
of his magnificent Campo, from the
mountain passes of the North or the
wild, unbroken moors and plainS of the
South, nor to the foreign traveller, will
the capital afford much pleasure or profit.
The first impression which Madrid
makes upon the stranger is that of a city
of to-day and for to-day, of the world
and for the world. Here there is little
or nothing to connect the mind and link
the imagination with the historic past Of
Spain, either Moorish or Medieval, moth
ing of natural or artificial grandeur. 1t
Is a city of to-day-a city cut of from
the old-fashioned, picturesque, and in
teresting country by few miles of arid
table-land. The traveller goes to Seville,
and, If he would, he can not shut out
the past; the Cathedral rises before his
eyes when he alights at the station amid
the scream of steam. engine and the rattle
of modern omnibus, and he can not be
insensible to the charm and spell of its
loveliness and grandeur; or he goes to
the Alcazar, and every nook and Granny,
down to the very garden and its quaint
stone-walled pond, brings before his mind
all the marvels of Moorish ingenuity and
enterprise. On the paseos, too, one feels
oneself in Spain proper when at one mo.
ment one hears the slang of the gitdnO
and the next finds oneself in throng oi
real Spanish beauties, who still cling to
their inimitable mdntitld-their graceful
modest, trailing dress. In Cordova, small
as it is, you are still in Spain proper
Whether you wander along the banks o.
the Guadalquiver, beneath the shadow
of its rustling silver poplars, and lool
up at its crumbling gray walls set in
masses of dark green grange trees, OF
kneel among the well-nigh thousand pill
lars of the Mosque, or wander around
the lonely city walls to whose feet thu
dark Sierra comes in unbroken wildness
you are still in classic Spain.
Other cities, too, which do not SO com
pletely link one with the past have ye
each its special charm. Cadiz has ii
ever-changeful girdle of sea. Barcelon,
gladdens every lover of Spain-althougl
Il is not always the quietest corner o
the Peninsula-as being the chief hiv'
of Spanish industry, and one of th'
healthiest and most prosperous cities II
the country. Where nature lends m
grace, and man exhibits little or no in
dustry, and there are no political memo
ries Of the past, as Is the case at Madrid
| man insonafblv haoou,a too oftap n nra,
to levity, frivolity, and worldliness il
its worst sense, especially when, as is tn
case in the capital, the pulse of religion
beats slow and feebly, where 1t beats a
! oil.

THE CHERISHED DREAM.
BY ELIzABETH s. PHELPS.

Some day, some day OF days. treading the street
With idle, needless pace,
Unlocking for such grace,
shall behold your face
Some day, some day Of days, thus may we meet
Perchance the sun may shine from skies of May,
Or winters Icy chill
Touch Whitley vale and hill,
What matter? 1 shall thrill
Through every vein with summer on that day.
Once more lie's perfect youth will all come back,
And for moment there
shall stand fresh and fair
And drop the garment care
Once more my perfect youth will nothing lack.
shut my eyes now, thinking how twill be-
How face TO face each soul
viii slip its long control,
Forget the dismal dole
Of dreary fate's dark separating sea.
And glance TO glance and hand to hand In greeting
The past with all its fears,
It's silence and its tears,
Its lonely yearning years,
Shall vanish In the moment Of that meeting.

AN old Canadian farmer stated TO a
correspondent Of one of our agricultural

and would have published 1t himself had

Mr.. Delmar says: Leaving out of view
all the countries of Europe except those
specified, the usual deficit of wheat dur
ing late years amounts to about 38,000,-
600 bushels per annum. During the en-
suing harvest year, it is estimated at
from 10000, 900 to 10000, 900, averaging
about 53,000,000 bushels.
The figures correspond somewhat with
those of the total exports of wheat from
the United States. There is, therefore,
no reason to look for any wide departure
At the same time so essential are the con-
tributions of wheat from this country to
Europe, that unless our agriculturists
and merchants supply the European
market too freely from time to time, they
are certain, in my opinion, to obtain re-
munerative prices from this years
crop.
