Dress Reform.

In spite Of the attack of "a NVoman''
on male dress, it is obvious that men on
the whole run little danger to health
from the capriccs Of the mode. Their
clothes are at all times so fashioned
that they can wear unknown any
quantity Of inner clothing, and the
gaycst dandy III evening dress may be
amply protected from sudden chills.
This is not the case as regards ladies'
at balls, and herein men show more
sense than women. The open coat,
also, may always be blttoncd across the
chest, and inner drawers may make llp
for thin trousers. AS to the latter gar
ment, which some women envy and
others attack, there IS, if we may say SO
and absurd fuss made about it's advO-
cacy and use. We believe it is an open
secret that "dual" garments have long
been worn by ladies Of all ages, from
schoolgirls up to matrons, and that, as
they are not exhibited. they may be as
long or as short, as light or as warm, as
tight or us loose, as the Wcarer wills or
the seasons demand. Men show their
trousers, women conceal them; that is
all the difference. If il girl desires free
dom she has only to concentrate all the
comfort and warmth in these invisible
garments, and then with light, loose
skirt she can walk as freely as any man
and yet look as feminine as any fashion,
able lady. No public meetings, no
ostontatious exhibitions are required
for this reform. ANY woman may dis
pensc tomorrow with heavy skirts
without even the knowledge of her lord.
Perhaps a solution so simple derives the
Improvement of it's attractivcness, there
must be cause and crusade with
protagonists and marty yrs--speeches
resolutions and leaders, committees,
councils, exhibitions and appeals-all to
compass change that any girl can ac-
complish by half an hours shopping
and few minutes trouble and
thought.

Railway Exhibition.

The receipts of the Chicago Railway
Exhibition amounted to 1856, 900, but
the amount of loss has not yet been as
certained. The electrical railway was
in operation 118 hours, and in that time
carried 2G. .805 passengers. The entire
distance run was 466 miles. The report
of the electrician in charge of the road,
although it gives these and other par.
ticulars, and says that the motor proved
the theoretical calculations made as to
the power developed, does not contain
one word about the amount of power
actually required to operate it, the per-
centage of loss in CONVERSION, or any
thing that would indicate either it's sue
cess or failure from commercial stand
point. This omission is significant.
There has been no doubt, in recent
years, that trains could run by electri-
elty, but the question is, how much
does power thus applied cost2 The en-
Rineer, instead Of answering this ques.
tion, repeats what was already known,
that trains can be run by electricity.

Melons for CliiilS.

a correspondent writes in relation to
chills: Some years ago was in 4 min
ing town i'll California during the melon
season. AS melons and fruits gener-
ally had to be hauled in wagons dist
ance of some twenty miles, could not
procure them with the usual regularity.
Upon one occasion my supply Of melons
gave out, and l remarked to all ac-
qualntance that, as a result, expected
l would have chill. Sure enough, one
day while engaged in mine L was
taken with very severe chill. spread
out in the sun with all the coats that
could be gathered around piled GU, but
of coarse could not keep warm. Just
about this time supply of melons an
rived and at once be&anssating them
heartily. had a craving appetite for
oysters and vinegar, but little or no ap-
petite for anything else except melons.
| procured from an adjacent store some
Baltimore canned oysters and consumed
about three cans daily, served with
strong vinegar, and between meals ate
heartily Of melons. Strange as it MAY
seem, these two remedies combined,
without amy medicine whatever, cured
the chills rs thoroughly as could have
been done by means of quinine OF any
other remedy. | had only one chill
The philosophy of the matter appears
to he this The melons reopened the
bowels, which had probably become
costive, and the oysters, being a strong
diet, strengthened nature, thus enab-
ling her to throw off the disease and
restore the system to it's normal condi-
ton. The fact that the chills were
completely cradicated while usi ng me-
Ions must he conclusive proof that they
will not produce chills, if eaten regll-
larly. | afterwards spent much of my
time during several melon seasons in
MarySville, a city much addicted to
chlllS, by reason of adjacent Swamps
and low lands, ate melons regularly
and had no chillS, while many who
were afraid Of them had chillS. have
never been in amy place where chills ap-
peared to be 50 prevalent us in Marys-
vile, and will give it as my opinion
that melons, regularly eaten, would do
more to eradicate them than any other
means that could be devised.

Volcanic Eruption at Son.

A violent volcanic eruption recently
took place in tho Java Sons. During
May 20 and 81 tho outbreak Mt Krakatau
island, situated in the Strait of Sunda.
was very heavily felt ut Batavia. From
AMER it ls reported "there was n tre-
mendous eruption, with continual shak-
ing and heavy rain Of ashes," on the
Goth Of May, and on the night of the
following day it WAS distinctly seen
there. A steamer which reached Ba.
tavia on tho Oath Of July having passed
Krakatan Island Oh the north, met with
a heavy rain OF ashes, covering the decks
with ono and half inches of volcanic
matter.
While this eruption seems to have
been notably violent it is m agreeable
surprise that no fatal effects accompany
made by the islands ciroling round
Bornoo, including Java, defines al area
of most intense volcanic activity, and it
would have been nothing remarkable
had the recent outbreak been exceed
inely destructive. In 1922 tho eruption
OF Mount Galung-gung on the main
island desolated over n hundred villages
and destroyed four thousand persons.
The eruption of Mount Guntur, in 1843,
| according to the estimate of Junghuhn,
n writer on Java, threw out thirty mil
lion tons Of sand and ashes. That tho
volcanoes of this island-the gem of tho
Indian Ocean--have not exhausted their
energy by these exploit, is shown by
the fact that In 1872 tho eruption Of tho
active volcano Merapi proved fatal TO
many inhabitants of Kadu. and tho
damage feared from the ashes elected
by this fiery cone is said to have inter-
fered with coffee planting in the dis
trlcts OF Probolingo and Remaneh. AS
late as 1878, according to seismic statis-
tics of DIR. Bergsma, there were sixteen
earthquakes registered throughout the
island.
AS the scene of tho lecent disturbance
lies on the West Java coast, and tho
whole island is swept at this season by
the regular south-east trade winds, the
volcanic ashes must have fallen mostly
at sea and cannot have affected the
the growing coffee crops. It 10 to bo
hoped that tho recent eruption at Kra-
katau, by relieving tho earth Of the in.
ternal pressure, will be safeguard
| against farther disturbances at present.
But rs Java is the centre of the most
| active volcanic region now known on
the globe, having standing on q single
plain twenty-eight distinct volcanic
cones, varying in height from five thou
sand to fourteen thousand feet, it must
be some time before sense of security
returns to the Javanese.

From the June crop report of the

appears "that the estimated increase in
the corn acreage over 1882 is three per
cent, making the corn area this year
over 1900, 900 acres. The condition in
dicates yield three-fourths as large as
as the average, or $3.50, 900 bnshels
less than the crop of 1882. The condi-

are nearly up to the average condition,
and the prospective yield is 100000, 900
