The Deepest Well in the World.

The McCuigan gas well, the light
from which can be plainly seen from
the top of Wheeling Hill, is the pioneer
gas well of this vicinity. 1t led to all
OF the others now making such a tur-
moil in this valley. 1t was sunk for
oil, not gas, and the great gaseous res
ervoir was tapped unawares. just
three miles nearer us the Buchanan well
was sunk, and is now the deepest well
in the world, having reached 4,3OO feet,
and is still going down. When depth
of about 5000 feet was reached the
tools broke and were left there, and
for some time the we'll was deserted.
Then a new concern took hold of it, and
is now vigorously drilling for the
greasy fluid. The rope broke in March,
and the cable, between 1000 and 5000
feet in length, and weighing several
tons, parted seven hundred feet from
the top, and all efforts to catch hold of
it and draw it out with the great iron
shaft or drill at the lower end failed.
The workmen were then discharged
and the public supposed the well aban-
doned. Superintendent Crocker had
no thought of quitting the work. Ad-
ditional tools were procured, and at
recent date work was resumed. The
well, which was dry, was filled with
water to assist in floating the cable. a
proper instrument was inserted, ard
the rope was caught and lifted out. 1t
was supposed after getting the rope
taut, ''suckor rod' would have to be
sent down to loosen it from the drill at
the bottom, as that was fast and could
not be lifted with the weakened rope.
Fortunately the rope cut itself off where
it was attached to the shaft, and thus
saved great deal of trouble. The
next thing to do was to remove the
water from the well and pumping was
resorted to, when nearly barrel of
very fine crude oil was obtained. The
well is cased to the depth of 1900 or
l, 400 feet and is dry. When the water
is removed, which will be done in
day or two, ''spear'' will be sent
down after the drill, and no difficulty
is anticipated in bringing it to the sur
face. When this is accomplished the
work of deepening the well will be re-
commenced. Mr.. Crocker states that
the machinery he has on the ground
will enable him to 90 500 feet deeper,
and by increasing its power he could
go the depth of 1000 feet. but he hopes
to reach oil in paying quantities at
small additional depth. Wheeting { W.

How Shall We Dress.

| For fall dresses, basques, polonaises,
and redingotes, (along tight-ftting out
side garment,) are still worn. Basques
are shorter often pointed before and
behind, and very short on the hips.
An old polonaise may be modernized
by cutting off the front into a basque
shape, leaving the back as it is and
putting it very full. An apron front of
velvet, brocade, or anything which will
harmonic with the material, may be
inserted. These aprons are gathered
full around the waist, and hang long
and loose, cut at the bottom in battle
ments, or points-or fitted plain, and
looped full and high upon the hips.
For plain skirts to wear with plaid or
| figured over-dresses, a deep plated
flounce is best. For plain suit. q
skirt with plaiting-of either side or
box plaits, about three inches deep,
with narrow or broad tucks above, is
very neat. For silk, broad ruche,
plated very full above the flounce, is
simple and dressy. Sleeves are for the
most part long and plain. Some are
putfed on the shoulders, but this style
is not generally becoming; it makes
one appear high shouldered. A bow,
of many loops, of narrow velvet rib
bon, is worn on one or both shoulders.
Narrow ribbon velvet, of black, or
bright colors, is worn around the neck,
and tied so as to leave long loops and
ends at the left side. 1t is used in ro-
settes for trimming hats and bonnets,
and also looping overskirts.
jersey waists, which fit to the form
like underwear, are very useful and
economical for ladies and children.
They come in black, scarlet, dark blue,
and maroon colors, and any skirt can
be worn with them. Small bonnets are
made of material to match the dress,
are of velvet, and trimmed with small
fruits, flowers, OF feathers, with narrow
ribbon or velvet strings. They are of
small, close shape mostly. Good taste
in material is generally marked by SIM
plicity of design, if plaid or figured
but of good quality. Plain colors are
always preferable, and a lady with a
nice black silk for best, and well fitted
dark flannel for the street, and simple
home dresses, with a few ribbons and
laces of nice quality for ornamentation,
is well dressed for any occasion.
Plain collars of velvet, with cuffs to
match, trimmed with white lace turned
upward, and tied with a bow and long
ends of narrow ribbon, are worn with
any dress, if the color is in harmony

A Dead City.

But, really, do you know it is extreme
ly difficult to realize it is 1888, and that
we are still in America, says Quebec
letter. The old town (Which ascends
i'll conformation as it decreases In age(
was founded in 1908 by the indomita-
BILE Cartier, and successive generations
have contributed to its store of historic
memories until now it stands confessed
the most ancient and most interesting
city north of Mexico. 1t is built on
three terraces, the first of which is call
ed lower town, and forms with Beau
port, the oldest portion of the settle
ment; the second is known as upper
town, and contains the Basilica, Laval
university the new parliament house,
the convent of the Ursulines, the semin-
ary chapel, the Gray nunnery, the old
and all the nicer class of dwellings and
stores; the third is crowned by the cita-
del, the Plains of Abraham, the Jail,
and the Wolfe monument, and from its
summit there is view / have never
seen surpassed. To the right, the St.
Lawrence rolls it's mighty flood; the
harbor is filled with shipping, the new
quay creeps slowly out into its ''deep-
sea- destination, and Point Levy is ide-
allied by distance into cloudland city.
To the left slopes away the relenting
ruggedness of Cape Diamond, until it
meets in the Plains of Sillcoy, and is
lost in the purple bosom of the Lauren
tine hills. The Plains of Abraham have
turned their harvest of death to a wealth
of turf, where the cattle browse unmo-
Tested about the grave of Wolfe, the
martello towers crumble away in the
sunshine, and the bird d's-nests choke
the loopholes, and vines flaunt from the
caves. Below, the city looks like a
page out of the Arabian Nights" for
the roofs and spires are sheathed in tin
and sparkle as bravely as if of silver.
This, by the way, is a distinctive fea-
ture of Quebec; the tin is of SO pure a
quality that it does not need to be
painted to preserve it from the weather,
and some of the shingles on the Ba-
silica, which were fifty years old, were
almost as bright as their new neigh
bors on the English cathedral.

It's All Mistake About Women Liking
to Shop.

Among the minor social beliefs long
ago elevated to point of orthodoxy is
the notion that women enjoy shopping
for itself, irrespective of utility or ne
cessity. Yet half the time spent in jok-
ing over this female penchant, if put
into practical observation, might con-
vince the average male that this we'll
established belief covered fallacy.
The daily thronged shops need not be
SO very misleading if one considers
that everything and everybody, from
the Oldest household article to the new
est baby must come under oversight of
the presiding woman, and that, by
no means, are all women endowed in q
manner to cope with and make easy the
manifold duties they have to perform.
Thousands of women know they must
have something for this, that and the
other thing or person, without knowing
what they can have; and they haunt
the shops, hoping that the seasons nov-
elites will suggest some compromise be-
| tween their necessities and the limit of
their expenditure. But they find this
| task anything but a pleasure. Even
that type of woman which haunts the
newly-furnished shops from idle, rest
less curiosity type, by the way, more
rare than is generally supposed
who, when at home, is always over
hauling, fussing and revamping,
through sheer lack of concentratiVe
and trained faculty, even she does not
quite love it. Herrasped and harassed
nerves, when she comes home. gainsay
the supposition. Indeed, no other
purely feminine work, except, perhaps,
sewing, at all compares with shopping,
for using up Woman's nervous force.

Lord Bacon, generally regarded as
ct, wrote much on longevity. His signs
of short life are quick growth, fair, soft
skin, soft, fine hair, early corpulence,
large head, short neck, small mouth,
fat ear, brittle, separated teeth. Some
of his signs of long life are slow growth,
hard coarse hair, rough, freckled skin,
deep burrows in the forehead, firm flesh
with veins lying high. wide nostrils,
large mouth, hard gristly ear, strong
contiguous teeth. He adds that early
gray Lair is not significant, some of the
longest ivers having turned gray in
early life.

Unimpressible.

! know a low green mound where myrtles
creep,
All shadowed DER by pine trees dark and
tall;
Near by pale rose climbs the stony wall,
And from it south winds many a fragrance
sweeps.
Oft some wild bird doth spend it's little will
In notes that ravIsh all the air around
With the sweet ecstacy that is of sound.
But oh! my love sleeps on through good and
i'll.
There autumn leaves will drift faded and
brown,
There winter winds tempestnously blow,
And winter skies a shroud of white bestow,
And night and moon and stars look coldly
down.
Blossom and song, brown leaf and drifted
snow,
Are naught to her who sleeps so calm below.

It takes fully eighteen months to con-
vert tobacco into snuff, and it goes
through most elaborate preparations be-
fore it is presented to the public. Few
people are probably aware that, after the
same fashion as beer, tobacco is allowed
to ferment so as to be thoroughly pick
led, and is kept in this condition for at
least six months, after which it is SUBJ
jected to steam temperature of 240o
When thoroughly dry it has to be ground
which is done by means of cast iron
mills. Over 400 women and boys are en-
gagged in one snuff mill in New Jersey.

Snanish Mantles,

The new ''Spanish MANTLE" which
is to take the place of the hackneyed
fur-lined circular with those who seek
for novelty in attire, is very becoming
to tall, slender ladies. This wrap is
uncommonly elegant and graceful, and
is made of black brocaded velvet, and
trimmed around the entire garment
with black Russian fox. Around the
neck is very deep collar of the same
fur, which covers the shoulders like a
cape. The wrap is lined with dark
red plush, and is much too heavy for
street wear, being designed especially
for carriage use, and as a garment
to be thrown aside in a heated
room.

The Pines Thought.

Within the shadows of ourselves we stand,
And see thousand brilliancies unfold
Where autumn woods, in gorgeous ruin,
hold
One late, last revel. Upon every hand
Riot of color, death in pomp and state,
Decay magnificent, inconstant blaZe,-
We have no part or splendor in these days.
They shall be changed,-we are inviolate;
Their voices shall be hushed ON every hill,
Their lights be Quenched-all color fade
and die;
And when they stand like spectres gaunt and
still,
With naked boughs against the far, cold
sky,
Lo! we shall hide the flying moon from sight,
And lead the wind on many roaring night.

1t has been clearly ascertained
that Louisiana has this last year
raised her own corn. Nothing
strange in that. The strange
part comes in when we ask why
Louisiana does not raise her own
every thing else. There is not
a single article of grocery that
should come from abroad. We
have everything at home and We
know it.
