Franklin Hallet & Co., of New York,
have just received from their Liverpool
house the following interesting advices
regarding the fruit crop of Europe:
In Holland, Belgium and Germany
there is fair crop of "Stripesr and
" Paradise" apples-red varieties SINH
lar to Baldwins'-but all other early
apples are scarce, but the total yield
will not fall very far short of last
years.. Pears, except the very COM
mon varieties, are scarce; plums are
generally Il very good crop, cherries
only half an average one. In France
the apple crop promises to be fully
equal to that of ordinary seasons
pears are scarcer than usual, and
plums are very scarce. In England
apples and all other fruits which COM
pete with early American apples are
failure. The late, uncOngenial Spring
was followed by cold, heavy rains,
winds and hailstorms which wiped out
almost all traces Of fruit in the large
fruit-grOwing sections of the country.
All the fruit crops of Spain promise to
be abundant, The grapes of Almeria
will not be quite as early as they were
last year, but the yield will be larger,
and in respect to quality, unless late
August rains interfere, they will be
better and sounder than for number
of years past.

POTATOES IN ILLINOIs.-The potato
farmers of Illinois, taking practical
lesson from the scarcity of potatoes
throughout the country last year plan
ted a larger area with this hOmely
tuber than ever before, and they are
having a season of remarkably good
fortune. The crop is yielding beauti-
fully; nevertheless, the price keeps up
in Il way that astOnishcs buyers, and it
promises to remain stiff and high until
the crop of new potatoes is pretty well
disposed of The explanation given
for this is the large demand from
Chicago, Detroit, st. Paul and other
cities. Last years crops, especially in
the Northwest, was very short, and is
now almost entirely consumed; and as
the new crop in that quarter is not yet
matured, demands are made for South
ern new potatoes to supply the def
cheney. Farmers have been getting
$l.25 to $l.35 per bushel for their early
crop, and as the fields are turning out
POO bushels an acre and over it will be
seen that pOtatO-raising this year is a
! profitable business in Illinois. nmany
cases farmers are getting for then
crops three or four times as much as
the land they are raised on is worth

SIR JONES AND HIS RIDE.
MARGARET VANDERBILT.

Sir Jones he twisted his slight moustachc
And he gazed in the glass with pride,
" And if it were not" he said, so hot,
would take her this day TO ride;
For she is wealthy and am poor,
And she is fair to see
And gayly she laughs at my little jokes.
And sweetly she smiles on me-
Sir Jones he pondered in thoughtful mood,
And he gazed in the mirror still.
Till at last right firmly he upstood
And he said. BY st. George, will
For she hath ducats and have none,
And she hath house so brave.
While in this garret must pine alone
A woOden-gOodsm slave"
Sir Jones he hired a stately stced,
And buggy both narrow and high,
And he drove to the lady's door with speed
And waited for her reply;
For it was legal holiday,
Xclept the Fourth of July.
The lady graciously said him yea,
And she decked herself in white,
And he lashed the stced and they went Will
speed
Until they were out of sight.
And what he said shall never be known,
Nor yet what she replied
But he brought her back on that selfsame track
For very short halfhour's ride.
Sir Jones he gazed from his window high,
And his face was sad to see,
And he ground his teeth, that Fourth of July
Saying, Curst shall this holiday be-
Yea, ever henceforth this Fourth of July.
Shall be black letter day,
For she said me nay, with scOrn in her eye,
And l for the steed and the tall buggy
Must a whole weeks salary pay"

THE ACREAGE OF CROPS. The COM
pleted report of the Department of
Agriculture for July shows an increase
in potato acreage of per cent, falling
little short of 100 anywhere. The
acreage of tobacco is nearly the same
as in 1881. The condition is high in
Kentucky, Tennessee and North Caro-
lima, but below average in the Connecti-
cut valley, Maryland and Virginia.
Apples and peaches will be fairly
abundant. The Delaware and Mary
land peach crop may exceed 100000
baskets. The condition of fruit is
better West of the Mississippi than in
the Ohio valley.

The Germantown Telegraph urges
farmers to pay more attention to the
cultivation of the turnip, claiming that
immense crops of turnips would be
found particularly valuable as Winter
food for cattle, being more succulent
and less costly than hay, oats and corn.
The Telegraph thinks that the tedious
performance of cutting off the turnip
tops, now done by hand, will in time
be accomplished by machinery espee-
tally invented for the purpose.

Mr.. Spuegeon, the great Baptist
preacher of London, has no faith in
human philosophy. He would rather,
he says, have one little promise in q
corner of the bible than all the state
ments and promises of all the philoso-
piers that ever lived, Every philOso-
pher that ever has existed has contra
dicted every other one; that which is
taught to-day will certainly be disprov-
cd tomorrow and so, he thinks, the
history of philosophers is, in brief, the
history of fools.

Fancy bathing suits are made in

odd being the imported ones. One of
the most SNOWY is in jacket style with
vest and knee pants. A very fancy
one has the pants in sky blue flannel
to the knees, where they are finished
in an embroidery rufTle of the same
material Scarlet cloth close fitting
jackets are considered quite nobby.
The vest is made of goods like the
pants, and more or less embroidered
many ladies prefer one piece garment
for the surf with n short skirt of the
same goods. With such a rig as this
may be worn collar and cuffs Of white
leather faced with oilskin. A very
pretty suit is made of gray serge,
trimmed with scarlet. A cream white
woolen suit with blue braiding, sailor
color Of blue cloth, and culls to match
is one of the most striking things seen
along the sandy beaches.
The fight among the BARRIERS over
Sunday shaves is a peculiar one and
RACES with undated vigor.
The mayor says that many of the
preachers who are giving him advice
about Sunday beer and barber shops,
do not know what they are talking
about.
The excitement about dead fish in
the upper Schuylkill is abating. There
is no danger that the drinking water
of this city will be made unwholesome.

the only comfortable garment man
can wear. The rest are suggestive of
wOolenish Inconvenience. Seersucker
suits are not " full Dress but nobody
wants to go on dress parade in this

THE LADIES AND THEIR COSTUMES.
The girls think inst as much about
their dress as in the cold weather when
they need ten times as much to keep
them warm. Tall ladies have taken a
fancy to shoulder capes, shirred at the
neck. Pleated white lace gives poetic
beauty to the ivory white costumes
which are now popular. The eX-
quisitely pretty new lace pins intro
duced by Bailey, Banks & Biddle, are
exceedingly becoming with this pleated
lace. They are in great variety of
graceful styles, particularly well adap-
ed for Summer adornment. A lovely
combination dress for young ladies is
of all wool bunting and linen cheese
cloth. 1t is not adapted for heavy
wear as it is fragile thing, but it gives
girl a gauzy and ETHEREAL look and
makes her seem like an angel.
Twine lace is one of this seasons
| novelties. On cotton and silk toilets ii
is pretty and effective
Some of the white dresses this Sum
mer are richly adorned with lace and
embroidery. There is no limit to the
curious fancies in the execution OF
these dresses. For ladies of any age
or style, white linen lawn is accepted
as very becoming. Lace mitts are in
fashion, they are ten thousand times
more comfortable than kid in perspira.

greatest favor, and are made In u great
variety of shades and tints.
