This loss of business may be accounted
for in part. by the general stagnation of all
branches of trade and manufacturing indus
tries, but more especially by the continued
depression in the lumber trade, from
which your road has in years past derived
the larger part of its business. There has
been a large reduction of tariff rates over
the line of your road, which has been made
necessary, so far as it relates to through
traffic. to meet the competition which has
been carried on between the Boston and
Maine and Eastern roads. They have
been sharp competitors for the business of
our State. The management of each road has
striven to obtain the whole through bust
ness, and they have reduced the rates so
low for business to and from Boston and
points south and west, and to and from
Portland and points north and east, that
much of the freight will not pay the cost of
hauling.

and pulled, perhaps, somewhat easier than

horses of the "Eben Simpson s. f. E. Co."

They pulled dead weight of $500 pounds, and

The show of fruit is not large, but of excellent
quality. 0. S. Hasty of Limerick occupies a
large space and has 43 varieties of apples, in
Guiding the Northern Spy, large and handsome,
Fall Pippn and ''Cat Heads" He shows
some really fine pears-Flemish Beauties-and
five baskets of choice pears. The veteran fruit
grower, Alderman Twambley of Saco, as usual
makes fine display-pears, apples and grapes,
one apple measuring 49, inches! John S.
Mulch of Dayton makes the most extensive
exhibition of grapes-Concords, Isabella, Hart
ford Prolific and other kinds. AMI L. Aver,
who has the largest and best cultivated fruit
orchard in Bddeford, always makes a very
tempting display, and his show this year is no
exception. He occupies long tier of boxes,
and shows 4j varieties of apples-every kind,
no doubt, that ever grew under a Northern
sun. He has also ten plates of pears of all the
popular names. Timothy Carey, Alfred, scores
one on the Graveustein apple, exhlbtiug a
busbel of this kind, the fuest l have ever
seen. What Mr.. Carey don't know about ffuit
culture isn't worth knowing. Almon Dnrgin

In proportion Us the complexion increases in
color, green Of deeper tone must be selected,
and progress must be made from tho positive
tones to the neutral hues, such as sage, tea, or
oliye-greens. Deep neutral greens do not cast
much red on the complexion, while they both
harmonize with and reduce its natural tints.
the ruddy blonde is, the paler her complexion
tho brighter must be the green Of her drcss !;
the roster it Is, the deeper and more neutral
must the green be: A bright green bonnet is
highly suitable to'the ruddy blonde whose COM
pleMon is not oyercharged with roses, When
highly colored, the effect Of the green should be
neutralized by the addition Of rose, scarlet,
orange, or white flowers. On the inside Of the
bonnet these colored flowers should be surround
ed with some gray or semi-transparent material,
skin. On the outside, 1t is advisable
to use several dcad-green tints, such as
autumn leaves, with the flowers, particularly If
orange or scarlet ones are selected. Rose-col-
low-green than with dead green leaves. Blue is
advantageous to the ruddy blonde, giving the
complexion an agreeable color. The orange
which blue casts upon the skin is not itself per
cepttble, Is it rmites with the rose and flesh
tints, forming fresh and healthy color. Blue
follows the same rule as green,-that Is It must
be used deeper with compilations Of full, than
with those Of lighter, color. The best colors to
associate with rich blue are orange, salmon, and
chocolate. Both white and blacl harmonize
we'll with blue. In another article will give
list Of the colors which will harmonic with each
other.
A blue bonnet agrees well with the ruddy
blonde, aud may be trimmed with black, white,
or any Of the above co1ors, in small quantities.
A blue wreath or head-dress suits full-toned
brown hatr well, giving it an increase Of oFange,
which Is one OF its constituents The same
colors must be avoided by the ruddy blonde
that are pointed ous IS injurious to the fair
blonde.
EPerhaps Of all co1ors the most difficult to In
troduce IN dress is violet, Its effect upon the
complexion being 60 unsatisfactory. It causes
all skins to appear yellow, and none can receive
that color without looking sicls]y and disagree
able. 4 considerable proportion Of yellow Is re-
qufred to neutralize violet and reduce its DOW
erful effect 1 violet bonnet, trimmed In front
with yellow and some semi-transparent mate
rial, may be rendered pleasing. As violet be-
comes positively lost In artificial light, it is
totally unsuited to be introduced il evening
dress
The neutral colors are generally suitable to
the ruddy blonde. When Of medium intensity,
they leave the natural color Of the complexion
almost uninduenced; when light, they increase
its color; when dark, they reduce it By contrast.
The most agreeable dark peutrnls are russet,
slate, gray, maroon, and all the hues Of brown;
the most pleasing light neutra1s are gray, drab,
fawn, and stone-color.
The remarks made respecting white and black,
in connection with the former type, apply in
every way in connection with the ruddy blonde
