A SPOT on the snn may seem TO
"practical people a very little thing,
but recent events have added material
ly TO the evidence that it is a thing of
vast Importance to us. In the first
place, spot on the sun isn't a little
thing. Our whole planet might be
dropped into one ofthem like buckle
berry in tea cup, and the storm OF
conhagration around it would make our
maddest tempest seem mere silence
Now, it has often been noted that the
occurrence of spots on the sun coin
cided with magnetic storms, auroras
borealis and tornadoes and cyclones.
The cycles of maXima and minima of
sun spHs do not coincide exactly with
the cycles OF magnetic disturbance, but
closely enough to suggest connection.
The present year has witnessed some
very remarkable spots. A short while
ago huge spot appeared at one edge,
and as it came by the suns revolution,
in full view, we had the great aurora
and the magnetic troubles with the tel
egraph. 1t receded and when. by the
revolution of the sun, it reappeared, it
was broken up into a group of smaller
spots. Yet, when it got into position
we had the great cyclone Now, the
question is, What will it do to us when
it comes around again? 1t may have
disappeared or be still further broken
up. But, perhaps, a new one may
have developed larger than before. A
sun spot is no triae. BALTIC. American.

GOWNS FOR THE BRIDES,
Something AbOu Wedding Costumes,
With Mention of the Garniture.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Ottoman silk is the most elegant
material for bridal dresses. It is
called variously gros PEcosse,
gros dAfrique or gros d'Ottoman.
These silks are really repped satin,
having all the gloss of satin and
none of the dead lustre of a silk.
The fashionable choice for bridal
dress is pure white, without cost of
blue or yellow. Heavy gros grain,
with satin lustre, it is also used for
bridal dresses. Partisan dressmak-
ers still prefer the old>time satin for
the bridal dress, and combine it with
rich brocade in feather pattern, half
moon or shaded ball design. There
are also satin brocaded with uncut
velvet in Spanish lace designs.
Pearl seeded tulle over white satin hes
pretty, misty effect used as a tabi
er to the front of bridal dress. The
back of the bridal dress is usually
cut in princess style, extended in a
long, square train, which is trimmed
with full box pleaSed ruche on the
edge and up either side. Whatever
material of the bridal dress, the ruch
ing which trims it is of plain satin
and often mingled with lace The
front of the corsage is attenuated to
long, slender point. The neck of
all bridal dresses is high at the back,
and may be cdt pointed, square or
heart>shaped in the bust and filled
in with lace or closed high at the
throat. Abroad, the old custom of a
low-necked bridal dress has been
adopted at evening weddings. The
b1ayeuse of wedding dresses is en-
tirely IF lace.
Viii } heather, lilacs, white roses,
with few of the waxen,like
blossoms of the orange flower, are
used for bridal garniture.
It is not generally known
that the orange flower de la jardi-
Mere is the flower of the bitter
orange or the wild orange tree,
which far exceeds the blossom of the
Ii bAG LII OOdutf anu Ira
GRANGE. A chapel of bridal flowers
is now often arranged over the fore
head of the bride, fastening on the
long tulle veil. This veil flows over
the train and is only finished by
plain cut edge without hem. Uns
dressed kid gloves in mousquetaire
style, in pure white, are preferred
for the bride, and she carries bou-
quet tied with a long ribbon of white
satin, or prayer book, in English
style, bound in white ivory and
clasped in gold, or ornamented with
monogram of gold.
The widow who marries ''the sec
ond time" must not wear orange
blossoms, wells or white. She should
always wear bonnet and a tinted
silk dress in ashes of roses, lilac. pale
primrose or any pretty tint of color,
or she may be more plainly married
in travelling dress.

Storing Sweet Potatoes.

A correspondent of Farm and
Garden, writing from Greenville,
KY, says: ''The most common and
most successful way of storing away
sweet potatoes for winter keeping in
this latitude is to put up in dust.
There are other modes which have
their advocates. In the summer,
when the dust is very dry, I take as
many barrels or boxes as I shall
want to fill with potatoes and fill
with potatoes and fill them with
road-dust and put them away in a
dry place to keep until I dig my POI
tatoes. I prefer digging before
frost. I dig them and let them dry
in the sun a day; then they are
stored away in a cool place; they are
spread singly over the floor SO as not
to heat or sweat; when cold weather
sets in they are taken and stored
in the cellar; cover the bottom of
the barrel or box with about three
inches of dust, then a layer of po-
tatoes close as they can be not to
touch them; cover them with dust, then
potatoes, and SO on, until the barrel
or box is nearly full; then fill up
with dust. In this way potatoes
will keep through most any winter.
L find this the best way to keep sweet
potatoes over winter. Another way
I have tried with very good success
is, to pile the potatoes in a large
cone shape pile thirty to forty bush
els keep better than less. Then take
straw in small handfuls and pack
around, commencing at the bottom,
building it firm, eight or ten inches
thick, until near the top, then insert
iue near the top, and build tight
around the fue. In few days the
potatoes will begin to sweat and emit
steam; after they go through the
heat, and cold weather sets in, this
fue can be stopped with straw. Now
this straw is covered with dirt thick
enough to suit the weather. I have
very good success with potatoes
stored in this way, but prefer put
ting up in dust. When I put up in
straw, I put up in the garden, put
ting shelter over them.

Chicken Cholera.

To the Editor of the New York Herald.
Several experiments have been
made during the past five years by
different parties for the purpose of
preventing the spread of chicken
cholera by incubation or vaccination.
We have, during the past two years,
vaccinated the fowls in nineteen diff
ferent yards where the cholera was
prevailing badly, and in each yard
we left some common fowls not vac
cinated, and they all died; but of the
1000 vaccinated only eleven died,
although they were in the same yard
with those that were dying daily by
the score. We have every reason to
believe that this chicken vaccination
is as effective in preventing cholera
among fowls as vaccination is in pre-
venting smallpox among the human
family. Vaccinate hen, and in eight
days her system will be thoroughly
inoculated then cut off her head
and catch all the blood in some vess
sci, then pour the blood on paper to
dry; a half drop of this blood is
sufficient vaccinate fowl, and the
blood of one hen will vaccinate your
whole flock Catch the fowl you
wish to vaccinate and with pin or
knife make a little scratch on the
thigh Gust enough to draw blood,
then moisten a little piece of the
paper with the dried blood on and
stick it on the chickens leg where
you scratched it, then let the fowl
run, and you need have no fear of
the chicken cholera. AS the result
of my many experiments l have
dried blood enough, [ would sup
pc 70, to vaccinate 10000 fowls, for
which I have no use, as I do not sell
patent medicines. If any of your
readers are enough interested in
poultry to try this preventative, by
writing to me I will send free of any
charge enough dried blood to start
with All I ask is that they send
Immediately, before the blood loses
it's strength, and report the result of
their experiment to your many read

A New Career for the Potato.
Agricultural Gazette.


It seems that the humble tuber
can be transformed into a material
for the manufacture of meerchaum
pipes of the very choicest quality by
the simple operation of boiling it
for thirty-six hours in certain
chemical solution, and squeezing it
afterward in press till whatever
moisture it may contain has been ex-
tracted. The residum is then de,
clared to be "a hard block of deli
cate white hue, in every respect as
suitable to the manufacture of ornas
mental and artistically executed pipe
heads as the finest clay" The potae
to thus treated is also found to be
an excellent substitute for ivory in
the manufacture of such articles as
brush and umbrella handles, fans
and chessmen.
