Are Wells, Ties and Ribbons to Cor

Are Wells, Ties and Ribbons to Go?
From Jenny June Letter.
The superhuous woman has received a
great deal of attention, but the rapid
rate in which women are getting rid of
their superfluities scarcely excites re-
mark. The reason is because it il 10 the
interest of dealers to sell them, anei
newspapers are habituated to writing up
the follies and extravagances of women,
not their economies or restrictions in
the matter of expenditure. 1t Is proba-
bic however, a general tendency that
operates in this lnstan e rather than with
a deliberate purpose to inspire it, fur
nishes the motive. The veil is remnant
of monastic and feudal seclusion, and
has been disappearing bit by bit for the
last half century. Fifty years ago
it was very long and wide, and the
thick double Grape veil of the widow
reached nearly down to the ground.
Since then it has year by year grown
smaller by degrees; and beautifully less
until ladies, instead of buy ing the regu-
iarly made article, found a substitute in
any little strip OF lace to mask the ewes
and nose, and this Icing found deteri-
mental by physicians, and absurd by
themselves, the cherished veil disap-
peared altogether, except IN gauze, for
tourists purposes. The veil of the Wild
ow dies hard, but it is generally cur
tailed in length. width and thickness. 1t
has begun to dawn upon the female
mind that killing women with lack OF
light and air behind folds of double Eng
lish era BE is not far from the folly and
cruelty which offers widows as sacri-
fee upon funeral pyre, and therefore
Grape wells are gradually disappearing
altogether, have ceased to be obligatory
lin fact have gone to the bourne from
which the widows cap never returned.
But the veil is not the only supertluity
that seems to have become superfluous.
Where are the lace and linen cuffs, the
spreading ties, the bows at the throat,
the scarfs, the fiuttering ends here, and
the rosettes, buckles, and the ornamen-
tations there which formerly made any
assemblage of women look like rag
fair? Gone-very largely The best
dressed and the best bred young women
are models of neatness, slightly young
mannish in their weil-fitting Newmarket
coats or redIngotes, the close Derby hats
and thick walking boots and undresscd
kid or dogskin gloves. Round the neck
is narrow rim Of collar held by q
gold or pearl button; in front of this is Il
cravat or silk tie, its knot or small bow
fastened with a horseshoe pin. The
dress is simpler than that of young men,
and only the skirts prevent it from be-
ing more co venient and as well adapted
to all emergencies In the drawing-room
the dress-maker still maintains her SUI
premacy, SO there is as much useless
rippery there as ever, but in the street
the tailor has come to the front, and
when he is true to his instincts effects
salutarv changes, or at least assists in
bringing them about.

HOUSE AND FARM.
Farm Miscellany

A fat hog is no test of good pork.
Flesh must be healthy to be good. As
a general thing fat hogs are not healthy
animals, nor is the pork the best quality.
The wise buyer would prefer, for his
own use, the hog that is not SO lat as to
be unable to help itself to its food. The
blood ought to be pure, and to have this
so the hog must be able to move about
easily The overwhelmed hog has inn
pure blood, hence impure flesh. Be-
Sides. no one wants all fatto the sacrifice

Two Hereford steers, age not given,
owned by Mr.. E. Corning of Albany, N.
Y, have lately been slaughtered. The
beef of the two weighed $3.50 pounds.
The per centage of beef to live weight OF
one was 63 per cent. and of the other
60 per cent. and of valuable products,
beef, hide, tallow, etc, so and 81 per
cent, respectively This is a high pro-
portion, the latter quite equal to any at
The fat stock show. The live weight OF
these steers was 2,Sl0 and 1876 pounds.
Did any one of our readers ever think
how many steps farmer takes in a
year? Take the simple planting of a
field of corn. Take five.acre field. To
break it up would require walking some
forty miles; narrowing it. ten miles;
planting, eleven miles if with a planter,
and If dropped by hand and then COW
cred, twenty miles. Thus it will be
seen that it takes about 100 miles of
travel to put in five acre field of corn,
to say nothing of cultivating and har-
vesting, and the going to and from the
field while planting.
Los Angeles County, California, is a
region noted for its immense wheat
fields and sheep pastures, but chiefly for
Its olives, vines, orange groves, lemons,
lines, guavas, pomegranates, gardens
and prosperous colonies. The San Ca
briel Valley is one of the fairest spots on
earth, and is only ri .aled by the Santa
Anna and other valleys southwark. 1t
is often thought that semi-tropic fruit
culture is the only occupation of the Los
Angeles citizens, but that section, no less
than Northern California, has large
farms.

My heart within me burns.

LOUISE NICKEL.

Private letters from Paris describe
Louis Michel, the Communist, as one
of the most dramatic figures in that
city OF strong contrasts in human
types.
An American lately gained admis-
sion to a meeting of Anarchists. and
states that the disorderly mob became
suddenly silent. as if magnetized,
when a delicate little woman. dressed
in black, walked forward on the plat
form and made gentle motion Of ap-
peal for quiet.
She had pale, immobile face, with
out.a trace Of excitement in it, She
spoke with her eyes closed, her
hands clasped hanging before her.
Her voice was low and soft, and she
kept time to its monotonous cadence
by a'slow rocking to and fro of her
body.
In this gentle even monotone she
poured out vindictiye denunoIotions
Of her enemies and those fierce adju-
rations TO murder that appal even the
most brutal of her associates.
This woman is the high priestess of
murder in France. Whatever we
may think of the truth or falsity OF
her political convictions, there is no
doubt as TO the enginery with which
she would propei them; it is assassi-
nation, pure and simple.
She lives, it is stated, in filthy
garret, where wfappedin a mans sur
tout both ragged and dirty, she sits
writing, surrounded by disofderly
heaps'o of books aud papers. bge
There is, however. one corner of the
garret which il carefully scrubbed
and busted There. on little bed
white and clean, lies withered old
man, who orders the terrible Louise
about as Ma petHe,p AID whose or
ders are instantly and scrupuously
obeyed. Her passionate love for her
old mother is tho one human trait IN
this cold, implacable Petroleuse.
When, on her return from. the gal
leys, a great banquet was given to
her, she slipped away from it by a
back door to find the poor old woman
in her attic; and now, when she is
writing ont her plans of wholesale
bloodshed, she will throw down the
pen and fly to bring the sOupe nioidre,
or cruel, aud to pet td pawcre ldmdn.
