Fnllers ION to Egypt; or, an Arab Abduc-
Hon." by Pitou5 company. This production
resembles somewhat Mestayer's "Tourlsts,"
except that the scenes are laid in Egypt, and
embrace the Grand Square at Cairo, the pyra-
mids by moonlight and an Arab encampment
In tho Great Sahara Desert. These are ex-
quisitely realistic, breathing the worry air Of
the. Orient.
A feature OF the trip TO the pyramids is the
trained Egyptian donkeys and donkey boys,
which make perfect picture OF the front OF
shepheaids Hotel, at Cairo, and the track
along the Nile.
The piece is full of bright and sparkling
eonge,e can APPLY be termed 10 musical spec

artistic talent that Is guarantee OF the worth
and attractiveness OF the play, and which
fully explains Its wonderful success before
metropolitan audiences. The scenery Is all

so comfortable that they feel compressed
in any whalebone bodice. Old womeL
wear it and so do crookedbacked wom
en-. They are the favorite garment
with women with imperceptible waists,
as well as ome who seem all waist
from their shoulder blades almost to
their knees. OF course it is a gar
ment that reveals every imperfection ins
figure, and however comfortable, only
the young woman, with rounded arms,
with supple waist and perfect curves can
essay it and look we'll. She who is so
blessed and sticks to the everyday
wear of a jersey does it from thorough
understanding of her superior points
and the same calm assurance that gives
q woman with pure Greek features and
low forehead confidence to comb her
hair straight back in the piainest FASH
ion. But it matters not how skinny q
woman may be, how pointed her elbows
or how her collar bone may heave In
sight. she will wear a jersey. Especial
ly III wearing fine, soft goods it is inn
possible TO disguise imperfections OF
the figure or supplement lacking round
ness, for the cloth adjusts itself to COM
plete revelation of what there is under
It.
"Then there is a deal in knowing how
to put on q jersey. One symmetrical
young woman whom / know wears nc
other waist, and she always looks like a.
model for q Notwithstanding Venus
dc Medici, puts loaded weights into the
bottom of the garment to keep it down.
You'll notice nine-tenths of the
whom you see in jerseys IRE constantly
struggling with them tokeep them from
crawling up around their necks. This
particular young woman whom / have
mentioned pulls it up high on the shout
ders, smooths it about the waist, widens
it across the bust, and she looks as if
she had grown inside of ii and it had
gradually stretched out over her. One
hot day / saw q wornan come In here
with q jersey on. She evidently wore
no corset beneath it, and as she was fiat
as a slab / could actually count her ribs.
Don't give it away or it would hurt the
trade, but it's o fact that no woman
whom nature has not turned out with 0
perfect figure should attempt to wear
jersey"
rs there much call for the silk gar
ments? ?" was asked.
Every little. The soft, fine WOODEN
materials are so desirable and just as
suspectible of adjustment that there is
very little demand for the silk jersey.
In fact, wedo not keep it in stock at all"

Agricultural Items.

California horticulturists are dis
cussing the important question of in
creasing fruit shipments East. 1t is
said that fast time on the railroads and
q freight rate of 5000 per carload,
would soon result in the dispatch of a
train cf fruit cars daily, When cars
cost 5000 and $500 for freight the price
of every pound must be materially in
creased. California fruit, particularly
apricots and grapes, would sell in inn
mense quantities in all the large cites
of the Atlantic coast if only they could
be furnished at about half the present
rates.-C. III. Shinn.
Parker Earle, the well-known fruit
grower of Illinois, believes that the soil
on which Strawberries grow has much
to do with their shipping qualities. His
experiences teaches him that berries
grown on poor, sandy soil will hardly
endure shipping a hundred miles, while
the same varieties of berries from
stronger, better land possess great
shipping capability. He also calls at
tention to the fact that purchasers, as
q rule, pay more for berries of attract
i've appearance than for flavor, an illus
tration Of which is the Monarch, of high
flavor but poor color, which is rejected
for Wilson or Captain Jack, both sour
but well colored Garden.
A correspondent Of the New England
Farmer says that q New York farmer
observed that some Of his apple trees
that had been dressed with unbleached
wood ashes bore apples which kept all
winter without rottlng, while the rest
of the fruit rotted badly. His trees
were infested with apple-tree blight.
He finally applied wood ashes, at the
rate of 200 bushels to the acre, to his
orchard, and washed the bodies of the
trees with lye. The orchard recovered
from the blight, and the apples would
then keep well in an ordinary cellar Ill
winter.
Summer Colves is the
most dangerous time Of the year for
cows to drop their calves. They are
more liable to be in flesh after June
than after winter, and this along with
the heat may open the way for pueper-
al fever. COW in high condition be-
fore calving at this season, should for
several weeks before the event be kept
in a cool stable during the heat Of the
day, and given no food here. In the
evening she may be turned to pasture
for a while, but on the whole only o

low diet should be allowed, with d view
of reducing flesh. After 1alving she
should be kept out of the sun for three
or four days, from which time on there
is little danger to be feared from the
disease.
Wood-lice or Sow-bugs.-In growing
delicate plants like primroses, cinera-
rias, etc, from seed at this season, the
seed leaves may often be devoured as
the seedlings come up, and only a sharp
eye will detect that termination ever
took place. To prevent such mischief,
a simple remedy is to sprinkle tobacco
dust over the surface of the soil. Where
the pests are numerous their numbers
may be considerably reduced by placing
a boiled potato in a little hay at the bot
tom of q hower-pot and laying the pot
on its side near their haunts at night.
In the morning shake the wood-lice out
of the hay into boiling water.
Root pruning to Induce Fruitfulness.
This operation often has a favorable
effect, through reducing the growth of
leaves and by the means aiding the for
nation of fruit buds for the next year.
About two-thirds the length of the
branches away from the axis of the tree,
the soil should be cleared until the roots
are reached, and then all the main ones
should be cut off with a sharp spade,
afterward returning the earth that was
lifted. Such a course also tends to
earlier ~fruitage. The plan may be kept
up n year after another, and is an ex-
cellent n for small gardens, where
many v~arities are desired.

From the Germantown Telegraph
In a few weeks this heavy work of the
farmer will begin, by cutting off the
stalks near the bottom and putting it in
stocks, to remain in that state until the
grain hardens, when the corn will be
husked, and the fodder becomes sufi-
GENTLY dry to be hauled in and stacked
for the use Of the cattle, though Of late
years the largest portion of the husks
is carefully selected and sold To uphol-
s~terers. There is a great deal in know
ing how to manage the fodder in the
best manner. Sometimes the size of the
stocks or shocks are too large, tend
ing to produce mould, and thus very
seriously injuring alike the grain and
the fodder. Sometimes they are too
small, allowing too much surface
to be exposed to the rains and
causing increased damage to the fod-
der from inclement weather. Hence,
q moderate sized shock is to be pre-
ferred. We have long noticed and CON-
mented on the fact that a great deal OF
cor fodder, after the ears are removed.
is allowed to remain IN the ield, IN d
very exposed condition, until late in
November, and even mp to the first hall
Of December, thus permitting the wealth
er to destroy a large proportion Of its
value as feed for cattle, which eat the
leaves in preference TO hay, and would
much of the stalk If cut into inch
pieces, sprinkled over with o little corn
meal, and, when convenient, steamed.
We could never understand the reason
why the fodder should not at all be
carefully stacked at the barn, or housed,
in the latter end Of October or begin
ming of November, when il would prove
q valuable addition to the winters stock
of provender. By that time, also, the
grain viii all have been sown, and the
potatoes dug, and there is no work of
hurry to interfere with the proper Sc
curing of the fodder crop. 1t is we'll
known that for horses carefully har-
vested corn leaves are regarded as par
lticularly nutritious. and to the race
horse they are especially valuable and
sought after.
