Hoop Skirts IN Fashion.

Foreign papers report that the Partisan
modistes are bringing toward the crno-
lette, which is simply a revival of the hoop
skirt. a New York manufacturer says
"About 1868, the hoop skirt went out of
fashion and the trade died out. There
was transient revival in 1870. We have
always continued the manufacture to some
extent, Citing orders mostly from the
South and West. Some ladies have never
given up the use OF the hoop skirt. Now,
however, it is in fashion again The de-
mand has sprung up 50 suddenly that it
is impossible to meet it. For the last few
weeks, in addition to the local demand
we have been constantly receiving orders
by telegraph from other cities, and are
sold ahead of production all the time
Hoop skirts were driven out of fashion
because the style was pushed to such an
extreme. Hoops got to be four or five
yards around, Now tight dresses have
been pushed 10 an extreme, and reac-
ton toward fuller dresses and the hoop is
natural The old hoops ran up to 80
inches in circumference. The present
style runs from 55 to 65 inches Now, if
the modistes do not push the style to ex-
cess and will keep the hoop skirt down to
two yards in circumference, it will remain
i'll USE The weight of skirt like that
now coming into fashion is less than one
fourth Of that of the old style of skirt, and
the new skirt will wear four times as long
as the old"

About the Watering of Horses.

When horse is thirsty, his system
needs water, \ part of pailful Of water
when horse is suffering with thirst, will
be quite as grateful and refreshing to the
palate OF the dumb brute as a cooling
draught OF crystal water right from the
mountain spring refreshes and inyigorates
the weary and thirsty traveller. 4 horse
needs much more wafer during dav and
night than most persons are led to sup
pose, When a horse needs water, if he
does not receive the needed supply, we
have no idea of the intense suffering
which the poor creature must endure
After horse has been driven until he
persplrcs protusely, there will be an i'm
perdtive demand for water to supply the
place of the liquid that has passed Oft
through the pores Of the skin; and after
4 horse has filled his stomach with dry
feed little water is needed to promote
digestion, especially when the animal did
not receive generous supply before he
was fed. When the stomach and bowels
need more water they will have it, if the
supply must he taken out of the skin.
But when the digestive organs must draw
extensively on water that is Secreted in

cannot compute the great injury that
must follow such an unnatural way of Oh
tanning a supply Of water which is absO-
lutely needed to promote healthful and
complete digestion. The digestive or
gans cannot perform their proper tunc-
tlOnS without water amy more than Il fire
can he made without wood or coal As
the stomach Of horse is exceedingly
small when compared with the first
stomach, or rumen. Of meat cattle. we
perceive the vast Importance OF supply
ing little water, and often, rather than
to permit the thirsty brute to swallow
several gallons at one draught only once
or twice during twenty four hours. Dur

owned and reared horses, and have never

watered frequently they will drink only
few quarts at each draught. This is in

Laws Against Weeds.

contagious diseases among men or ami

one, but we doubt if the magnitude of the
work is fully appreciated by many of the

now offered to the farmer, it is possible to
have comparatively clean fields, at far
less cost for labor than formerly. But

Express Atlantic Steamers.

The London Engineer, commenting on
the proposed formation Of a company to
run Il line OF express steamers between
New York and Milford Haven, doubts the
possibility of obtaining a speed of 20
knots, or % miles, per hour, vessel 800
feet long 10 feet beam, with Il draught of
p feet TO obtain this speed 10000 horse
power must be used, with screws not eX-
cceding 2} feet in diameter and 64rcvolu-
tions per minute. First, the Engineer j.,
sceptical about making a shaft capable of
transmitting this vast power. Then it
doubts if the power when transmitted
could be used to advantage in screw of
twenty three feet diameter. 1t has still
less faith in twin screws run by engines
OF 5000 horse power. And altogether it
considers that the construction of the pro
posed steamer will present tremendous
problem for solution to naval architects
and engineers.
line Of Atlantic express steamers is
entirely feasible, and would have been
built on this side OF the Atlantic and set
in operation years ago, but for the cable
enterprise, which for time set it aside
The above mentioned constituents will
not ensure entire success. There are
other disintegrating elements upon which
the London Engineer has not counted,
even though the vessels of the proposed
line should each carry a Golfer dam dock,
in which to make their own repairs.

\ GOOD FARM. The farm of Mr.. Gil
