White Goods for Summer.

The midwinter holidays are but Just
passed, says Harper's Bazar, yet the
furnishing stores have already turned
their attention to preparing the white
dresses of cotton and linen goods that
are to be worn in midsummer. Ladies
who prepare their simplest dresses in
advance of each season by the help of a
seamstress are advised to buy plain
sheer white muslins, with but little
dressing, as they are ready for the
needle, and these form the bulk of the
white goods purchased by large stores
that make a speciality of white suits.
French nainsook and the sheerest null,
which is far lighter than nainsook, are
used for the incest dresses, while for
less expensive dresses the so-calIed In
dla linen is chosen this India linen is
really cotton of firm threads that are so
irregular that they resemble linen, and
are quite as durable it has taken the
place of the poorer Victoria lawns and
the bishops lawn formerly used. White
satteens are largely imported, and are
greatly improved by being made of
lighter weight than the thick jean-like
satteens OF last year. For those whose
complexion will permit the use of thick
white goods, and who do not find them
too warm, satteen will take the place of
pique, and will be used for chlldren's
dresses and walking coats, as well
as for ladies' suits. Some checked
and dotted white satteens are seen, while
others have blocks, stripes, or Greek
qsuares, or lace-like designs, or damask
patterns, or else corded to initiate otto
man reps. Among the novelties are
corded mulls with fine or with thick
cords in bars, making a strong fabric,
and also null with corded stripes. but
experience teaches that thick and thin
stripes together in wash goods do not
wear well. Newest of all are the large
plaids, like Scotch patterns, in null, yet
all OF pure white these with the corded
goods will be used for afternoon dresses,
trimmed with embroidery or with lace.
Piques for children's dresses are repped,
and some have embroidery upon them.
Checked nainsooks and barred muslins
made in this country are shown at low
prices, and are excellent copies of En-
glish goods. Lace-ike stripes and
blocks are in favor on white English
lawns. Tucked nainsook is largely i'm
ported for skirts of children's dresses :;
these have clusters of tucks done by
machine, not woven in, and hem of
suitable width is along one selvedge.

The American Rhine.

The total wine product of this coun-
try last year was 100000 gallons.
California furnished the bulk, with Ohio
second, Missouri third, North Carolina
fourth, New Jersey fifth, New York
sixth, and Virginia seventh. New York's
contribution amounts to 100000 gal
Ions; but, weather and other conditions
permitting, the yield bids fair this year
to be increased by nearly million of
| gallons. The crop of grapes last season
in this State was unusually large, and
| had it not been for the early frost which
| injured large percentage of grapes in
Ulster county and other grape districts,
the owners of vineyards would have
realized exceptionally large profits.
| Much to their surprise, however, agents
of Canadian and Western manufacturers
arrived and offered from SIS to $25 per
ton for these frozen grapes, and this set
the farmers a-thinking. They reasoned
that if the frozen fruit was worth so
much, then there was money in grape
growing and wine-making. As a result,
many small farmers along the Hudson
bought hand-presses and made expert
mental tests. The results proved emf
nently satisfactory, and hence there will
be largely increased acreage devoted
to grape culture this year, particularly
in Ulster and Duchess counties.
Several experienced grape growers,
who have made careful study of the
vineyards along the Hudson, believe
that the conditions for raising grapes
and manufacturing wine are better there
than in any other part of the country,
not even excepting California. They be-
lieve that with proper care grape culture
can, in a few years, be made one of the
most profitable industries of this State.
The soil and climate are both favorable,
and now that farmers have had their
eyes opened, hundreds of acres on the
hillsides, that have heretofore been
neglected, will no doubt be laid out in
vineyards, and in afew years the shores
of the Hudson will have another charac.
teristic which will strengthen the rivers
right to the title of the American Rhine.
What intending grape growers need first
of all is to proft-sJ the experience of the
California growers, cultivate the best
varieties of grape and learn to properly
grade their wines. Some of the results
obtained even thus far are eminently sat
isfactory. A wine made from the Catawba
and Delaware grape blended, grown in
Ulster district, has been submitted to
some of the best French authorities, and
pronounced superior in flavor and body
to the best California wine of the same
grade.-Ne1O York Hour.

Are Dreams Pronhetic ?

SOME INSTANCES IN PoTNT-How PREDICTIONS MAY
BE DEFEATED
Ten days before his death Lincoln dreamed
that the President" lay dead in the White
House, killed by tie hand of an assassin
hen his wife heard of the tragedy she ex-
claimed, g His dream was prophetic!" The
majority of dreams, however, are never full
flled-they are too fantastic, or they are
solved by contrary events. People are often
possessed of the idea that they shall
soon die. They find themselves the
subject of strange feelings They
know they are not what they once were, and
as they approach certain ages they are quite
sure they will not g be long of earth" These
impressions as a rule are the result of an
imagination disordered by disease, but they
can be shaken off by prompt and thorough
measures. We are told that very many dis
eases can be prevented; indeed, half the
deaths are said to be preventablei Hence the
Importance of always acting promptly in
every personal emergency.
Justice William Moul, of West Sandlake,
N, Y, very highly esteemed in Troy, was for
years plagued by forebodings that he was
doomed to an early death. He had dull and
fitting pains in various parts of the body,
his complexion was bad, his appetite was
variable; he felt weary without known cause,
was constantly constipated, his tongue was
heavily coated, and frequent feverish dis
orders appeared. Then followed extreme
tenderness and pain in the back, great las
situde, gravelly deposits in water, which
was dark frothy and odorous, all indicat-
ing liver and kidney disorders. These de-
yslopments alarmed him. especially since
up in despair, he followed the counsel Of
one of the Supreme Court Justices to use
DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy (of
Rondout, N. W as an experiment. 1t scat
tered his bad feelings revived his appetite,
restored his liver and kidneys, renewed his
blood, increased his weight by twenty pounds
and to it alone he gives the credit of saving
his life.
Dreams and warnings and forebodings of
tarly death need not always be fulfilled if
proper measures are promptly taken to de-
feat them.-Ir0H ~ Y Times.

Carving a Turkey.

looked at his shirt front, put his fingers

little of the turkey dressing and gravy.

Canned Food,

It is a singular fact that we are in
debted to Pompeii for the great industry
of canning fruit. Years ago, when the
excavations were just beginning, party
of Cincinnatians found, in what had been
the pantry of house, many jars of pre-
served figs. One was opened, and they
were found to be fresh and good. In
vestigation showed that the figs had been
put into the jars i'll heated state. an
aperture left for the steam to escape,
and then sealed with wax. The hint
was taken and the next year canning
fruit was introduced in the United
States, the process being identical with
that in vogue in Pompeii twenty CEN
turtles ago. The old ladies in America
who can tomatoes and peaches do not
realize that they are indebted for this
art to a people who were literally ashes
but few years after Christ. There is
nothing new under the sun. Canned
tomatoes and loaded dice-the people Of
Pompeii had both.

The Atlantic Under HOWeIIS.

During the years that Howells edited
the atlantic there was not a seria
story or scarcely a short one appeared
in it from new pen that was not notice
ably after his own manner. One often
amused ones self with wondering, il
such an unusual production as Cables
"Grandissmes," or such a picture OF
struggling primitive strength as Mrs
Burnett's Class o Lowrie" found its
way thither, what would become of it ?
Certain it is that the atlantic praise OF
the latter work was fainter than that of
any other magazine of its class. The
editors attitude was plainly that of a
man who did not admire, hardly dared
classify, but would not condemn a work
which found such ready and general ac-
eptance.-BOStO1l transcript.

BREADsTUFFs AND PROVISIONS.
What the United States Exported Last Year
"A Few Interesting Figures.

The official statement of the value of
breadstuffs exported from the United
States in 1888 falls only $4,000, 900 be-
hind the report of 1882, Notwithstanding
the decrease of $40, 800, 900 in value of
wheat exported. For there was an in
crease of Sc, go. 900 in value of flour,
50, 100000 in rye, $4,000 in oats and
$27, 100000 in confidently $40, 100000
worth of corn and meal having gone out
last year. The returns for the last half
year, however, are less satisfactory. for
they show clearly the effects of mis-
chievous speculation. The decrease in
value of breadstuffs exported for the half
year is $50, 900, 900, in spite of an in
crease of 81, 800, 900 in corn. In wheat
alone the loss is $41 900, 900, and in -four
nearly 50, 800, 900. Notwithstanding the
enormous accumulation of wheat, from
the crop Of 1882 probably 5000, 900
bushels, and from the crop of 1888 fully
400, ZOO, 900 bushels, against an estimated
consumption of 297,0O0,OOO bushels for
food and seed in this country, which
would leave 17S, 900, 900 bushels for ex-
port, the average export price of wheat
taken out during the last half year has
been 81. 90, against Slip for the same
part of 1882. The consequence is that
out of IT'S, 100000 for sale, we have sue
ceeded in selling only 6O,216, 232 bush
els, including flour, in the first half of
the crop year. This leaves about 49,
100000 bushels yet to be sold, or to be
carried over to next year.
A handsome increase appears in the
exports of provisions and dairy products
for 1888, which amounted to $114, 228,-
956, against $96, 934, 423 in 1882. There
was little increase in cheese, and only
50, 500, 900 in butter, about 81 200, 900 in
tallow, only 100000 in lard, and a de-
crease of $3.50, 900 in pork. But the in
crease in hams was 50, 600, 900, and in
bacon $4, 300, 000,s.while the exports of
fresh beef rose from SIS, 375, 4SO in 1882
to 81, 74S, 165 in 1883. 1t seems that
we sent out last year So, 900 tons of fresh
beef, and IL ,927 tons during the last two
months. In November and December.
1882, the price was about ten cents, and
in the same months of 1888 only nine
cents. The average price of bacon also
declined from 1913 cents in December.
1882, to about 81 cents in December,
1888, and there was also q decline in
hams and in butter. By Offering our
surplus at more reasonable rates we find
a larger market for it, in spite of the re-
strictions of European governments.
