AFOrty.FOur.TOn Statue.

Probably the most colossal statue
yet ordered for the States has just
been finished in the plaster form by an
American sculptor ut Florence, Mr..
Larlxin G. Mead. There are but two
in America that can ever be compared
with it, Greenough's Washington :"
and his group of Civilization"
which adorn the capitol in Washing
ton. Some idea of it may be obtained
by a short description. The subject is
the Mississippi River" a large re-
cumbent statue, not unlike the treat
ment to the mile" group in Rome.
The figure is represented leaning
against cluster of rocks whence
springs the source of the father of
waters, while us support to the other
arm is broken paddlewheel caught
in snag, not uncommon sight on
that mighty river. At the base are
represented in bas-relief the various
objects characteristic of the stream
during its long course stern-wheeler
and side-wheeler, sugar-cane and
crocodile and its mineral wealth in the
representation of a lead miae. while
negroes are seen loading and unloading
bales of cotton and tobacco and the
sugar cane crystals. too, are not for
gotten, while the giant right foot
rests on leige of limestone, and in
the right hand stalks of that great prod
uct of the Mississippi valley, Indian
corn, are held, one mature, the other
in the shock. A wreath composed of
tobacco and cotton crowns the head of
the colossus. while a fishing net is
carelessly thrown across the base. The
plinth or pedestal is twelve feet in
length and the weight of the marble
no less than forty-four tons. This is
to be presented to the city of New
York by Mr.. Elliott f. Shepard, New

England's Hands omest Man.

Mr.. Edgar Vincent, the brother of
Howard Vincent, the recently retired
chief of the London detective depart
ment, is regarded as the. handsomest
man in England. He is six feet three
inches in height and of splendid pro-
portions. He is also of remarkable
ability, having carried everything before
him in his university career, and been
sent when only twenty four, to fill the
difficult post of director of finance in
Egypt. Gladys, Lady Lonsdale, the
celebrated beauty. to whom he is to be
welded, is equally tall as woman,
measuring six feet. The father of the
Vincents, Sir Frederick, is a clergyman
of the church of England. PHILADELPHIA

So he succeeds who truly perseyeres.

But hesitation, want of earnest aim,
Far more than labor wearies heart and

Experiments with the Army Worm.

Prof. Riley, in Bulletin No. 3, En-
genealogical Division, Department of
Agriculture, gives the public something
new and interesting regarding the
varieties of plants on which the army
worm will feed. Normally it's food is
the grasses and grains. 1t refuses none
of them. Among the small grains
wheat and oats are the favOrites, though
rye and barley are liked pretty we'll 1t
does not refuse millet, corn, or sorghum
when young and tender. 1t has been
known to eat fax, but does not choose
it, and when badly pressed by hunger
has taken onions, peas, beans and other
vegetables; and even the leaves of fruit
trees. 1t has been known to feed on
clover, but will leave it when in tim
othy field and it has plenty to eat In
1882 Prof. Riley introduced a series
of experiments to determine the facts
concerning what the army-wOrm will
and will not eat when pushed by
hunger. He placed each of the follow
ing plants in breeding cages with a few
healthy half-grown Larvae: Garden
poppy; all attained full growth and en-
tered the ground, three moths issued.
Cabbage; moved restlessly about first
day without feeding. Began feeding
the second day, and by the fifteenth all
had changed to the pupa. In this state
two died and the other two issued as
moths. Radish; two issued as moths,
one died in pupa, and one in larvae
state. Cotton; all died after feeding
slightly. Garden pea; all fed album
dainty and transformed and issued as
moths. Garden bean; all died without
touching the leaves. Strawberry; all
fed for seven days and died without
Transforming. Raspberry; all trans
formed to pUpa and half the number is
sued as moths. Carrot; did not eat till
second day and all transformed, one
half the number issuing as moths. Pars-
nip; one died in transforming, one in
pupa state and two issued as moths.
Garden lettuce; all issued as moths.
Garden beet; all fed slightly, three died
the seventh day, and one issued as
healthy moth. Onion; all fed, two
died as Larvae, and two issued as moths.
Hemlock; all died without feeding.
The result showed that this insect can
adapt itself to quite wide range of
plants and is an insect more than ordi-
narily tenacious of life, proving it an
enemy always to be feared whenever
it makes its Prairie Far

Agricultural Value of Sewage.

There is no one who will deny that it
is great pity that so many millions of
dollars worth of fertilizing materials
are annually allowed to go to waste
through the sewers of our towns and
cities, and yet very few are ready to be
i've that this waste could be economic
ally saved and applied to the land for
raising food either for man or beast.
If reports are true the new town OF
Pullman, near the city of Chicago, has
solved this question in most salts
factory manner. Pullman is built upon
level land, where it would be impossible
TO secure perfect drainage by natural
How. To overcome this difficulty, the
drains were all CARED to an artificial
well sunk deeply enough to receive all
the sewage of the town. From this well
the drainage water is pumped by steam
power, through a large pipe which
delivers it upon farm land three miles
away, where it is utilized for the pro-
duction of ordinary farm crops. 1t is
claimed that the arrangement proves
higly satisfactory in every respect, and
that the investment pays good annual
interest.
Ifthe market gardeners around Boston
are finding it profitable to erect costly.
apparatus for watering their grounds
with pure well water, pumped from the
bowels of the earth, why might not the
city and country make a gain at both
ends by joining in erecting pumping APP
paratus for delivering the richer waters
of the sewers upon or under the Guilt
waited fields in the suburbs? 1t is be-
leved now, that the true way to water
garden and field is through porous
pipes, laid enough below the surface to
be entirely out of the way OF cultiva-
ton.
This question of modern civilization
now to get rid of its own wastes, is but
just beginning to attract public atten-
ton. With our present light, it appears
like great question, but the time is
rapidly coming when it must be met,
and we doubt not it viii be met sue
cessfully. The most that country people
can do at present is. individually. to
take the best care possible of their own
house draining and cesspools- The prob
lem is much more easily solved in 'he
country than in the city or large town.

Styles in Mems Wear.

An artistic Dearborn street tailor and
draper stood in the front part of his es-
Enlistment at five o'clock Yesterday
afternoon and afectionately stroked a
stack of imported diagOnals. Then he
pointed to a high-colored fashion chart
on the wall, and said it represented the
different styles of costumes worn by
men and women from the time OF Louis
XIV. down to the present.
"What will be the changes in men 5
garments during the coming season.
asked a reporter.
There will be no more radical
changes, he replied. &" and there have
been none for some years. There IS
only one garment to be introduced that
much changed or that's worth calling
new. | speak of the new dress coat
Instead of being constructed in tho
square-nOtched fashion, like the old
spade-tail coat, it will be gradual cut
away of the same length, and the ma
terial viii lie a delicate wine-colored
diagonal, neatly bound. It's a beauti-
full coat. 1t was invented in New York
a year ago. but I don't think there is
one yet worn in Chicago. The idea OF
the inventor was to produce a garment
that would distinguish the costume of
a gentleman from that of a waiter.
There is another point worth speaking
of. Coats and waistcoats will be closed
higher than formerly, excepting in full
dress suits. The Old-fashiOned full
dress suit was never more in favor in
this city than now. The long-cut Prince
Albert will still be worn with trousers
of a different color; and the tive-buttOn
single-breasted getaway will be the
proper thing for the younger class of
Il n
predominant as usual. Trousers will
still be worn close, but there is ten
dency to greater width Summer coats
will be rolled lower than last year, and
the material viii be light, fancy mix
lures.
What about spring overcoats?"
well, sir, you viii find that they
will be made soft in the breast so as to
roll low or button up high, which ever
is preferred. The sack viii lead. A
few will be tight fitting, douhle-breast-
ed frocks, and the Newmarket-weI
that will only be worn by the dude as
now. Let me tell YOU. There's been
no radical change in mems garments
for the last fifty years. Fifty years
ago the leader in New York circles was
the tight-waisted body coat with enor-
nous rolling collar, and trousers were
as tight as they could be worn. In
fine, there is every indication that the
men were guilty of wearing corsets in
that day. The dress of the ladies, it
seems to me, has changed less than that
of the naen. L have been told that there
is an association of alleged tailors in
Chicago whose members induce coun-
try workers to come here and learn
metropolitan styles of cutting. 1t is
funny how the countrymen will allow
themselves to be pulled in for chumps.
They viii come here and pay one hun
dred dollars or more for a few lessons,
and so home under the delusion that
they are metropolitan artists. IL re
quires years of practice and study to be-
come skilled. 49, CHICAGO NeJUS.
