FROM PLATTEVILIE.

Hurrah for u.s. Our citizens have
decided to unfurl their banner to
the gentle breezes on the Fourth.
MIR. j. A. DIN, of Madison, Wis, has
been chosen to deliver the address.
Every necessary preparation has
been made, and we feel confident of
a grand time. Come and Join US;
we will guarantee you a pleasant
time.
Our citizens are aglow over the
result of the special election held
last Monday. The question being
whether or not we were to have a
city hall, and the result was two
to one vote in favor of the affirma-
tive. Now we are to have hall
second to none in the state. The
site has already been located on the
corner of Mineral and Benson Sts.,
facing the park. The building is to
be of brick, at a cost of from ten to
fifteen thousand dollars. Our citi-
zens mean business.
The Masonic building is progress
ing rapidly, over thirty men being
on the pay roll Of the foreman. 1t
will greatly improve the appearance
of that portion of the city
Platteville produces some very
shrewd, driving men. Some weeks
ago a man by the name of Hanes
went to our liveyyman Boynton and
secured horse and buggy for
short drive. He drove off, and moth
ing has been heard of man, horse or
buggy since.
The c., NJ. & St. 2. R'y is improv-
ing the road bed and bracing the
bridges and culyerts with pile foun-
dations on the Platteville branch of
its road, and it is rumored that as
soon as the bridges are repaired suf-
ficiently to move heavier engines,
that this will be the headquarters of
all Milwaukee through trains. Hur-
ny with your bridges, boys.
Mr.. and Mrs. @. W. Tousley left
town Wednesday morning to attend
the funeral of their sister, who died
very suddenly at Reedsburg, Wis,
on Tuesday.

But trusting i'll our Lord above

One Of the chief attractions in rid

is the extraordinary performances of
Miss Mollie Brown. This lady diff
fers, in her general display of horse
manship, from all others who have
preceded her IN the American arena.
She owes her unprecedented success
mostly to the wonderful balance and
muscular power she possesses, which
enables her to assume almost i'm
possible attitudes and changes Of
position upon her naked horse. dur
ing her lightning-like flight around
the arena. All her movements are
marvels of grace and dexterity, ami
mated pictures of elegant intrepidity,
thrilling dashes of super-eminent
art, self control and indomnitable
nerve, such as no other equestrian,
either male or female, ever accom-
plished before her. Her specially
wonderful achievement of throwing
somersaults from the back of her
naked horse, while in full motion,
together with her rapid and reckless
style of backward riding. in all the
principal cities of the new and old
worlds, have caused presidents, SEN
ators and the public, from the Allan
tic to the Pacifia to mingle their
shouts ofapplause and wild huzzas
of delightful approval. Whatever
claims others of the profession may
make concerning their skill in bare
back equtationism, certain it is that
no lady has ever accomplished the

sorted and dispatched by Sir Henry
Ponsonby. Then her majesty lunches
with Princess Beatrice and any other
members of her family who are at the
castle; and unless there is any ceremony
of state appointed for the day, they after
ward take walk in the sunk garden
or on the slopes, and later 60 out for a
drive. On their return they retire for
a little necessary rest before retiring for
dinner, which brings the days visitors.
The only part of the green's daily rou-
tine which never varies is the morning
work, which comes as regularly as that of
any clerk in the city, and everything is
done by her majesty with conscientious
thoroughness. The queen looks
into everything herself, and the
public have little idea Of the prodigious
number and variety of the subjects which
come before her for decision. 1t is an
axiom among ali who have served the
queen that if they can only get their case
looked into by her majesty strict justice is
assured. At Windsor her life is more Ia
borious than elsewhere. from the incessant
visitors ahd ceremonies, and the impossi-
bility Of getting away from the pomp and
pageantry OF a court. There is nothing
which her majesty SO much dislikes at the
castle as the innumerable sentries, who are
every where to be seen, and whose monot-
onous tramp never ceases aloug the east
terrace underneath the windows of the pri-
vate apartments.

Thunder.-Churning.,

The thunder which accompanies the
lightning, writes one authority, as well
RS the snap attending the electric spark,
has not yet been satisfactorily accounted
for. Both, no doubt, arise from a com.
motion of the air brought about by the
passage of electricity, but it is difficult
to understand how it takes place. Even
if this difficulty were cleared, there still
remains the long rolling of the thunder,
and its strange rising end falling to &C.
count for, the echoes sent between the
clouds and the earth, or between objects
Gu the earth's surface, may explain this
to some extent, but not fully.
The principle involved in churning is
the thorough agitation Of the contents Of
the churn SO as to ca,lse the rupture Of
the minute fat globules present in the
milk, and the incorporation or kneading
of these ruptrred fat globules into larger
or smaller masses of butter. It is held
by some authorities that the temperature
of the milk in summer should not exceed
81 degrees; and in very hot weather may
be under SO; while during cold weather,
the milk should be about 2 degrees high
er when churning.

RerirdI Of the Old Fashioned Corset
New York letter: French corsetmakers
are introducing the old-fashioned corset
that had board-ike busk down the front
but no fastnings, the lacings now being
done at the back. This method, thought
causing extra time and trouble in arranging.
produces, it is claimed,a more graceful
outline to the form than the usual manner
of fastening the corset. Satin corsets-of
which there must be at least two to wear
with dark or light dresses-are extremely
fashionable with those who can afford them
as this elastic fabric molds iteelf more
closely to the figure than either jean or
French coutille. Over the hips of these
new corsets are set wide gussets of silk
elastic webbing, which give peculiar ease
to the wearer. Still further comes rumor
from over the sea the French bellies who are
troubled about their too ample proportions
very frequently discard the corset altOgeth-
er. and have the Innings of their dresses
made of extra heavy material, almost cove
ring the dress bodice inside with strong
whalebones finished with silk castings.
Later still, words is brought to US by re-
turning modistes that those too, too solid
French ladies. who are determined to look
ethera.. nave aiken to wearing nickel-plate
corsets, warranted never to "eive" an inch
Physicians in this country and Europe
have recently commended the use of the
corset. when properly constructed, as a
healthful stay and support, at the same
deprecating its use when so made and worn
as to interfere with the natural play of the
muscles, or the normal action of the lungs.
The abuse of this article of dress has
brought it, and very justly, into disrepute,
but its rational employment is not rejected
by those who are most capable of Judging
of its true merit.
