Some new sorts of wraps,
new in shape and trimming,
and a quite new walking suit,
claim our attention this morn
ing.
One wrap is an adaptation
of the New Market, a style
much called for now, with an
adjustable hood OF shaggy
cloth, side pockets,and round
buttons down the front.
Another is a Raglan OF
Ladies Cloth, pleated down
the back in Mother Hubbard
style. 1t forms a long, COM
Portable, garment, albeit their
is a monkish air in the make
up.
A third is more youthful.
A Raglan of a dark green
shade, pleated across the
hips,trimmed in satin ribbon.
A Stockinette Jacket, or
=" Short Coat has fur collar
and cuffs and set above the
fur-trimmed edge,is a contin-
uous braid trimming that is
taking well, and for want Of
another name we may call it
the picket fence design.
Every varietyot Wrapsare
to be found here. On the
second floor the display is
excellent of Ladies' Suits
The newest thing is a tailor

The Lotteries and the G0ver0ment.


WASHINGTON, September -. The
contest between the Post Office Depart.
ment and the lottery Companies is said
to have awakened an interest among the
national bank men, especially as to the
right ofthe Postmaster General " ex-
clude them from the mails on grounds
similar to that on which the First Ma
tional Baak was excluded by Judge
Gresham 3 order. While taking little
interest In the lottery question, bank
men are said to feel a concern in the
question Of the power Of the Postmaster
General to interfere with their business
for any alleged cause. This question il
expected to be tested in the united
States Courts and that ultimately 1t
will come up in the highest one. It Is
more than probable that the lottery
question will come before Congress at
the instance of the Louisiana Company.

Adding to Arabic Soil.

The welcome news has been published
that an artesian well, not far from Den
yer, has succeeded in reaching water.
Should this news be true it is of immense
moment to the people of the United
States. Fort renders it possible to make
arabic land of millions and millions OF
acres of soil which is now waterless, OF
which has but a small downfall of rain
in a short period of the year. 1t is the
popularity of our western deserts that q
very little water makes them amazingly
fruitful. 1t now seems as if the time Is
coming when all the deserts of the earth
will be rendered useful to man. The
French engineers have for years past
been steadily at work reclaiming the
Desert of Sahara by mean OF artesian
wells. A great number OF these a
been sunk along the western border. 15C
of which are in the province of Constan'
tine, and they are progressing steadily
towards the interior of the desert. NJ.

Gently reported on this interesting topic,
and among the curious phenomena he
notices. is the finding of fishes and
crabs, in these waters at very great
depths. He says the crabs when
cooked, have a delicious flavor. II
is clear the world will not have TO pay
heed to the dreadful forebodingso of Nal
thus for many year. to come, for the re
claiming of deserts by artesian wells
would furnish soil to supply food fol
hundreds of millions of people. Some
day no doubt human ingenuity and in
dustry will find some means of utilizing
rocky soils. Perhaps stones and bould
ers may be crushed, and proper chemi-
Gals added to make new soil in stony
places. And so in time it may come tc
pass that a mold may cover the granite
hills of New England which will be a
fertile as the rich river bottoms of tho
west. The earth is capable of support
ing twenty times the number of its pres
ent inhabitants. 1t is said if Ireland
were as %populous relatively as the Island
of Guernsey it would contain 40. 200 200

Number and Orders of the Stars.

If we raise our eyes to the heavens
on a clear moonless night, we shall see
myriads of twinkling stars thickly stud
ding the sky. 1t seems impossible to
count them, but such is not the case. 1t
is found that the total number Of stars
In the celestial sphere, visible to the
average naked eye, is about five thous-
and, the number varying according to
the perfection and training of the eye
and the condition of the atmosphere.
When the sky Is cloudless, and the
air free from moisture and unstirred by
the slightest breeze, several hundreds
more may be seen, swelling the number
to nearly six thousand. AS only one
half of the stars are above the horizon at
a time, it follows that the number to be
seen at once varies from twenty-five
hundred to three thousand.
THE stars visible to the naked eye bear
no comparison to those brought to view
in the telescope. No less than twenty
million stars were visible in Herschel's
twenty-foot telescope. The great tel
escapes of modern times show a much
larger number, and though no reliable
estimate has yet been made, the num-
Der will probably reach fifty millions.
The difference in the size and bright
ness of the stars is no less striking than
their number. At a very early age in
the history of astronomy, they were di-
vided into classes on this account. The
twenty brightest stars are said to be of
the first magnitude. The fifty stars next
in brightness are of the second magni-
tude, AID so on, until we reach the stars
of the sixth magnitude, which include
the ~faintest stars visible to the naked
eye.
The telescope greatly increases the
number of classes as we'll as the number
of the stars, so that the smallest stars
visible in the largest telescope are of the
sixteenth magnitude. No limit to the
increase has yet been found. Every i'm.
provement in the ~far-seeing power of the
telescope reveals the existence of myriad
stars never seen before, until it seems as
if the stars that people space are as
nearly countless a the sands of the sea-
shore, or the flowers that bloom in the
primeval forests.
What an uncomfortable number of suns,
of many orders of size and brightness,
belong to the grand universe of space
in which our sun and his family of worlds
find place! For these myriad stars that
sparkle in the canopy Of night are all
suns like our sun, masses of matter at
white heat, but at such an immense dis
lance that they look IKE shining points,
just as our sun would look if he were as
far away Youths Companion.

Out.Facing a Thief.

Recently a young lady who is a teach
er in a Somerviile, Mass, public school,
was in Boston, and stopped On the street
for a few moments to chat with a friend.
Presently some one brushed rather
roughly against her, and second or two
later she suspected trouble, and in an
instant her suspicious were confirmed
by the discovery that her portemonnaie
had disappeared from her sack
pocket. She glanced up and found
that a rather hard looking man
was standing on the curbstone a few
yards from her, with both hands in his
coat pockets, smoking a cigar with an all
of excessive nonchalance. Acting al
once upon her instinct, she walked
straight up to him, and looking him
squarely in the eyes, held out her hand.
Whereupon, without hesitation, but
slowly, the man thrust his right hand in
his trousers pocket, fished cut her purse,
put it into her waiting palm, and DELHI
erately walked away. The whole tran:
saction probably occupied not more thar
ten seconds.
