The belt, says the Bazaar, is the OBJ,
iective point to which are attached
many pretty things for use or for orna-
ment. The fan, the bag, the chatelalne,
with watch, tablets and vinaigrette, are
all grouped amid the flowing ribbons
that hang from the side. A buckle OF
cut silver or of pearl fastens the wide
belt in front, or else there is a mammoth
bow quite as large as the Alsacian bow
that is worn upon the head. The o r
sage bouquet is stuckin the belt also, and
is larger than at any previous season.
White Spanish lace scarfs are worn in a
variety of ways; they serve as a most
becoming veil for the head during even
ing strolls, or when on the piazza; they
are draped around the shoulders as a
fichu-scarf; and they are punched up In
sashcs over silks Of plain color. Lace
sleeves are seen on all dressy silks used
for dinner and evening. When these
are white, they are usually OF Valen-
ciennes, but if the scarf or sash is white
Spanish lace, the sleeves should CORE
spond. Black grenadine dresses are re-
lieved by transparent sleeves OF blacK
Spanish lace, and there are beaded
sleeves with vest to match worn with
heavy black silk trained dresses. The
brilliant iridescent beads are used by
Young ladies. while their chaperons
lave finely cut jet beads sewed in length
wise stripes on black Brussels net;
of this the entire sleeves are formed.
White China Grape shawls of the style
80 much in vogue a generation ago are
utilized now in pretty ways that 90 not
look like the make-shifts they sometimes
are. They form panier NANTES with
plated fullness in the middle, Of the
back, or else tichus with the long
narrow ends tied in front. They are
also used as sleeveless panier p%olonaises
over colored silk slips with colored
sleeves. Those nearly covered with m
broidery and draped in soft full folds
are very handsome. The mantles re-
tain the Canton fringe with its deep
netted heading, but is cut off when the
shawl is used for an %overdress. and a
fringe is tied and knotted in the hem, or
else The trimming is blonde silk Spanish
lace fully gathered or finely plated.

According to this computation there
exists ut present q wheat deficit in Eu-
rope of O,O0G,0 900 bushels. upon which,
counting upon 4 reasonable advance
upon present prices, the authorities men
toned estimate that France alone will
be obliged to expend $500, 00O, 900 for
foreign wheat.
After it is conceded that the foregoing
figures are based upon the poorest mag
Unable prospects Of the European crop
and the best conceivable of our own and
other exporting countries. enough re-
mains to show that the United States
will be a heavy exporter of grain this
year, which prospect gathers especial
Importance from the fact that we are by
a wide margin the largest exporters of
grain in the world, and also from the
fact that Southern Russia, from which
the above estimates expect 10000, 900
bushels, will not be able to spare that
amount because of the damage already
done her own crop by the drought and
vermin. While lamentmg the misfor-
tunes of neighborS across the water
in the serious matter of their food sup
ply, we trust there is no bad taste in our
being thankful that, while we are able
to do so much to meet their wants, we
are at The same time helping in this way
to keep the balance of trade in our favor.

From present indications the probable

extensive importer Of cereals at the end
of this years harvests. In England,
France and Italy in particular the crops
have been seriously damaged by an eX-
cess of rain and cold. Thesilk crop has
no escaped the harmful influence of the
unreasonable weather and the yield of
hay is reported us Il low average. Nat
urally, the situation presents some alarm
ny pcculiaritics.
On looking ovcr the whole field, and
giving the yet unripcned crop the benefit
OF all the expectations that can be RI
tionally INDUCED concerning it. the
French journals conclude that the deficit
must at least reach 100, 10000 bushels,
which. at the estimated price of Sl.33
per hushel, represents an aggregate value
Of about Sl6O. O0O. 600. These figures af-
feet France alone; but the horoscope in
England, Spain and Italy is scarcely
more cheering. while Switzerland, Bel

market as buyers. Under this aspect of

the following rs 4 fair estimate of the
amount of grain that the countries named

The train from Elmo due here at 10 80 o'clock

The delay was caused by an accident t. the

OF the ears were capsized, though the whole
train was badly shaken up. Again, as good
fortune would have it, only one person was in

Murphy was at Lake Elmo, and his services
were speedily at the command
of the injured man, An
examination showed that he was badly bruised
up, but not in a serious way.
The wreck prevented the westward bound
train, which brings day tourists from Elmo,
from passing. To expedite matters, dispatch
was sent to st. Paul and another train was sent
out, which brought in all the Elmo people and
those on the train blockaded by the wreck.
1t was clearly demonstrated on examining
the switch that it had been purposely mis-
placed. The supposition is entertained that
the accident was caused by agang Of tramps,
who turned the switch, with the expectation
OF ditching the whole train, and with the in
tent of robbing the passengers in the horrible
confusion arising. fortunately their design
was Frustrated, as related above, and injury
happened only to one of the well filled train.

ST.. LOUIS, Aug. 30.-The annual amateur
contest for the championship of the Missis-
sippi river at this point was rowed here this
evening by crews of the Mississippi, Western
and Modoc clubs in four-oared Uutriggers. The
course was from the bridge to the old United
States arsenal, about three miles down stream
The race was fast from the start and the West
ems dropped out at the foot of Choteau avenue,
about a mile from the bridge. From this
point the struggle was desperate and very ex-
citing, and the whole race was the best and
most hotly contested ever rowed here. The
Mississippi led the Modoc two open lengths at
the nnish. Time, 16 minutes 80 seconds. The
Modocs entered a protest, claiming that of the
Mississippi crew Hawley and Parker are pro-
fessionals. A great crowd witnessed the race
from the bridge and along the shore.
