Fashion Notes.

nav "'
Redingotcs and polonaises in various
forms are very fashionable.
Plaid materials are again in high
favor, but not in bright colors.
Ivory white dresses with gold braid
trimmings are a fancy at present.
Scarlet hussar jackets, embroidered
with gold Soutache, are worn in Paris,
Velvet skirts with plain silk and
wooden overdreSSeS will he much worn.
Brides will wear un'ressed kid gloves
with loose buttonlcSS wrists this sea-
Sol.
A golden brown shade called 0c0n-
turine combines beautifully with ticelle
gray.
Ruffs. ruches and fraises for the
neck are full, high and very hand
some.
Long silk m~ousquctaire gloves take
precedence Of all others at the mo-
ment.
Gold soutache embroidery appears
Oh q lew lCi dDu bluC dII-NOoA Ioo-
tunes.
The broader the rep of silk or wooden
goods the more fashionable is the
fabric.
Deep chicorees or rucheS around the
bottom of skirts a: the fancy Of the
moment.
Even hats, gloves and shoes are
adorned with bead, tinsel and silk EN-.
broideries.
New and singular shades of color
appear from day to day among the new
fall goods.
The favorite dress of the English
woman this fall is of rifle green cloth,
tailor made.
Black and white wool, known as
. shepherds check, promises to be a very
popular fabric for braided costumes.
The newest embroidered squares for
the neck have a wide hem on the edge,
with a vine of embroidery above the
hem.
Dark Saline dresses are liked for
small girls because they do not show
soil, and as they are entirely Of cotton
are easily cleaned.
Graceful tunics are made in scarf
shape, or arranged in a point on one
side, and are very much pulled and of
great length behind.
The latest novelty in outside gar
ments is the frock coat, cut double
breasted in masculine shape and pro-
vided with a series of useful pockets.
Ostrich feathers in millinery are
powerfully rivaled by fancy feathers.
OF these, trimmings made of the plum
age of the barnyard cock are espe-
cially popular.
The latest decree of the mode, rs pro
mulgated from Paris, is in favor of
smooth felt, in preference to beaver in
millinery: though beaver h%eaddreSses
are still in demand, with prospect of
increasing popularity as the season ap-
prOacheS winter.
Plumes made of the feathers of the
different varieties of p~hcasants are in
great demand. These include trim
mings made Of the plumage of the
cophaphorus or the East Indian
pheasant, the golden, the silver, the
border pheasant and the gray pleas
ant, as our domestic Guinea fowl.
Some Of the newly-imported polon'
aises are made with open bodices
square or hcart-Shapcd, or in a long Y,
the point reaching to the belt. The
opening is usually edged with a plated
ruching. or with embroidery or ap.
plique bands Of beaded work. Under
meath the opening is worn a plastron
of velvet or chcmisette of lace. The
panier-polonaise is still high fashion
this model being in the shape of q
pointed bodice with paniers applied
by gaugings or flat plaits laid over the
hips.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Winter for Swine.

There are many farmers who think
it unnecessary to give drink of water
to a pig, but who consider the slop IT
receives as ample for it's needs, or that
when a pig is fattening dry food only
is needed and that water makes soft
pork. There are many more who are
hardly so ignorant as this yet act pre-
cisely as though they were and neglect
to provide any water for their stock
but what they a procure from pond
holes or sloughs. The consequence Is
disease and death. Pure water is IN
dispensable to the health of all kinds
of stock.

Extru Culture.

Professor Roberts, of Cornell uni
versity, says in an article upon Extra
Culture" Herein, l am satisfied,
lies the secret of England's success in
raising large crops. 1t would take
away the breath of a prairie farmer to
hear even an Englishman's enumera-
tons of the "spuddings," the grub
bings," the "twitchings,"" the harrow
ings, the cross-harrowings, the roll
ings, the crushings that a heavy clay
field is subjected to before it is cor,
sidered fit for wheat. What is all that
for? Simply to unlock the full store
house of nature. That it is full has
been proved time and time again. by
actual analysis it is found that an
average soil contains in the first SIX
inches plant food enough for from
fifty to one hundred and fifty full
crops of grain. l do not desire
to discourage the purchase and use
of fertilizers, but what l do pro-
test against is purchasing on time conf
mercial manures at $40 per ton to en-
rich cloddy fields already rich in plant
food, locked up, it is true, but there
none the less, only awaiting a little Ju-
dicious application of brain and muscle
to set it free. If these hastily jotted
facts and impressions are the means
of inducing my fellow farmers to re,
move some of the useless trees and
fences, or to give the fields an addl-
tional cross narrowing or two before
carting in the seed and asking the Lord
to bless the labor of their hands, my
object will have been attained.

oss.ExaminatiOa Of Boweu in the
Police Court.

Bowen was called to the stand in the police
court today and cross examined BY Mr..

by request of the department of justice; did
not come before, because he did not believe
it was necessary. The witness had been
subpGnaed to appear by District Attorney
Woodford, of New York, had drawn no extra
pay from the department, nor had Cameron
paid any money since his resignation. His
acquaintance with Dickson was only casual
in 1874. He dined At Drivers with David
B. Parker, chief of the post office inspectors
Bowen testified that on the evening Of
August %. he net Dickson at Drivers. lie
did not remember who was with him. They
sat down upon the balcony and then repaired
to the small room where witness ordered
champagne. After casual and general con-
versatiOn touching star route matters, the
witness was asked If it was the desire of the
government to obtain conviction. He said
he presumed it was. Dickson then asked
how twenty five would do. Witness said he
had no authority from the attorney general
to make a tender. Dickson conveyed in q
round about way that it rested with him
whether the jury would acquit or convict i.
In answer to Dickson, the witness said the
attorney-geReral was out of town and he did
not know when he would return After few
further remarks Dickson pleaded headache
and left the room.
Witness knew Tidball and would swear he
was not in Washington that night SO far as
he knew. Witness he believed told Gamer
on the next day August 23) Of Dickson's
interview. Cameron said he would think
the matter over and let him know. lie
| would meet me and Dickson at Drivers.
| That night the witness dined with Cam
eron and Hovey at Drivers in an upper
ROOM Dickson was down stairs with priv
er. No conversation took place between the
three Dickson, witness and CaMerOn), the
latter telling witness that he had concluded
to have nothing to do with the affair. Short
ly after this Dickson, witness and Hovey &C.
companied by Cameron. and subsequently
