A Georgia WIIIOw Farm.

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph says: a
flying trip to the osier willow farm Of I.
q. Plant, q mile below the city, pre-
scented . surprise. In building on the
premises were Q number o. negro wO-
men and boys ct work stripping the
bark and leaves from the willow
switches. This is the first cutting Of
the crop OF two years growth, and the
yield VIII be two or three tons. These
switches are from four to seven feet
long, and are cut and placed IN bundles
like sheayeB Of wheat They ara then
taken to the stripping building and
placed in vat filed with water. The
large ends are then placed in q peculiar
little machine which loosens the bark
for q couple Of inches. Passing along
on the table they are placed one by one
"A the shippers, q little machine, the
invention Of Mr.. Plant, and with pair
o. pliers are pulled through with Jerk.
This process takes of all the bark and
leaves. The switches are then wiped
OF with Q wooden cloth by passing them
through the hand. They ere then bum
died and laid away to dry. The little
continuance used for stripping performs
the work admirably. Mr.. Plant sent to
Switzerland and the willow farms in the
North and West for machines, but all
were crude and worked unsatisfactory.

purpose which does its work rapidly and
efEectually. ALI the leaves and bark are
dried and baled, and command price
Of % cents per pound. They are used
for o certain kind Of medicine. Mr..
Plant has 400, 600 willows now growing

DANGEROUS MOULIN.



The New York Sun gives The follow
ing warning to Cur American Minister.
There Is only one diplomatic danger
that appears ct the present writing 20
threaten Mr.. Winchester. We cannot
urge him too strongly, while represent
ing American interests on and near the
Swiss glaciers, 10 look out for naouIins.
Mr.. Wakterson win explain 20 him fully
the nature and perilouB character Of the
moulin. Suffice it now 10 say that &c Il
3 circular hole or mantrap IN the Ice. a
stone On the surface Of the glacier be.
comes heated by the rays Of the sun and
gradually melf8 itB way down, forming
cylindrical pit OF well, sometimes very
deep, with the stone nc The bottom.
According 20 one theory, the stone IN
descending acquires q rotary motion,
grinding its way down, and that Is what
gives the moulin Its name.
The peculiar danger Of the naOssgin. 90
far a. the new American minister Ii con-
cerned, lies in the fact that these holes
are exceedingly easy to tumble into, and
that they are frequently Of exactly the
same diameter as Kentuckian.
The fate Of Mr.. Boyd Winchester, II
through carelessness or ignorance o.
this peril be should allow himself to alp
into moulin, would be horrible In
deed. Let him fancy ik Struggling
helplessly IN the ice, while his friends
above try In vain to extricate him with
their alpenstokes, every impotent effort
serves 30 send him further down the
slippery shaft. II he remains passive.
the heat Of his body produces the same
effect. Down he goes. He cannot use
his legs, he cannot use his arms.
But the worst has still to be told.
Suppose that while Minister Winchester
10 Imprisoned In the moulin colder
weather sets in, as It Is apt to do in
Switzerland. The hole in the ice freexes
up solid, with the unfortunate American
Minister inside, Like the fly In the
amber or the mastodon In the Siberian
iceberg. May merciful Providence
avert such catastrophe, for IL IL occurs
we see no escape for the Hon. Boyd
Winchester from his 10y prison and
tomb, until after years and perhaps
centuries the slow-moving glacier shall
yield him up at the foot Of it's course
along with its other frozen secrets |

White has already been considered
the only appropriate color for the we'd

are very few who desire TO be welded in

kerial during the past few years, al

a handsome white satin dress, with

White Ottoman silk had short reign
some time ago, and occasionally bride
wears it nowadays. It is almost as ex-
pensive as satin, and Is far more becom-
ing 10 brides who have not decided
beauty.
Some Of the very prettiest bridal
dresses ever seen have been made ont Of
soft white silk and lace, and are the
most sensible kind for brides of moder-
ate means. A young girl who is to be
married early IN June has completed Q
charming wedding gown, which may

white surah silk was the material used.
This made graceful princesse train Of

dounces Of Oriental lace, one Of the
same length being gathered on to the
bodice and caught at the waist by long
ends Of white satin ribbon. The train
has full plisse Of tulle about the edge
over which falls q narrow lace hounce.
The corsage Is bordered by lace of the
same pattern as that used on the skirt,
only much narrower. This costume,
without the dressmaker's bills, cost $25
for the silk, IS for the lace and S. for
sundries.
Entire dresses OF white tulle are In
favor among English brides. They are
very becoming, softening the features
and making slight figure look rounded,
and are moreover moderate in price, q
fine quality costing but 81 q yard.
Crepe-mull, nainsook, nuns yelling and
lawn are all suitable for wedding dresses,
but the ideas of the average American
girl viii not permit her to wear white nm
less she can have silk or satin. A little
bride, who had quiet morning wedding
few days ago, looked lovely in simple
dress Of white null made walking length

roses in her hand. The dress cost her
81. The dressmaking was accomplished
by her own nimble fingers.

A story Of IngratItude.

A New York letter to the SUNDAY
OreQ0nS0n says The building itself is
on the site Of the old Washington
Hotel. This hotel, by the way, was
built on the ground once occupied by
the mansion Of Nathaniel Prime, the Jay
Gould Of fifty years ago. It may be
added, parenthetically, this same bank
en-, Prime, once, when q poor young
man, went to Southern planter on 3
visit ct the time to New York, and asked
for loan Of 5000.
sWhat security can you give :" asked
the planter.
''The word Of an honest man" an
swered Prime.
The planter eyed him for an instant,
and then replied: 'sYou shall have il "
This sum gave Nathaniel Prime his
great start in life, and he soon paid the
debt. Years rolled on and he became
the leading banker of the city. One day
the planter, who had befriended him at
the outset Of his career, came 20 him IN
poverty and asked him for the loan Of
the same sum that he had lent Prime 30

In certain city there were two wives
named Gerda and Hulda. Although
their homes adioined. these wives were
Ia very different social stations, for
Gerda was the wife of very proud and
rich man, while Hnlda was the wife Of
. humble artisan. Gerda's house was
lofty and spacious and was adorned with
most costly and most beautiful
things. but Hulda's house was Q scantily
furnished little cottage. The difference
ia their social stations did not however,
prevent Gerda and Hulda from being
very friendly IN 3 proper fashion, and
the two frequently exchanged visits
while their husbands were away from
home.
One day Hulda vas e Gerda's house.
and Gerda said: 81 must show you the
painting we have Just received from
Paris. Ik Is the most beautiful painting
"a the world. and e cost princely sum
Of money"
And Gerda took Hulda into an adioEn-
ing chamber and uncovered the picture,
and for o long time Hulda stood admir-
ing Il in silenca It was indeed q mas
terpieCe Of art. Such beauty Of concep-
don, such elegance Of design, and such
nicely OF execution had never before
been seen. It was q marvel Of figure
and color and effect.
els &c not the most beautiful picture
On all the woEld?' asked Gerda.
'sIt Is very beautiful, " replied Hulda,
ssbut Il IL not the most beautiful picture
"a al the world.
Then Gerda took Hulda into another
chamber and showed her q ieweled
music box which the most cunning
artisans in all Switzerland had aabored
Tor years TO produce.
ssYOu shall hear it make music, said
Gerda.
And Gerda touched spring and the
music box disCoursed Q harmony such
IS Hulda's listening ears had never heard
before. It seemed as If q mountain
brook, summer zephyr and wildwood
bird were IN the box vieing with each
other in sweet melodies.
els itnot the most beautiful music IN
oil the world 2" asked Gerda.
cit Is very beautiful, " replied Hulda,
'fbut it is not the most beautiful music
In all the world"
Then Gerda was sorely vexed.
ssYou said that Of the picture" said
Gerda, s'and you say it of the music.
Now tell me, Hulda, where Is there TO
be found more beautiful picture and
where more beautiful music 2"
"Come with me, Gerda, said Hulda.
And Hulda led Gerda from the stately
mansion into her own humble little
cottage.
''See there upon the wall near the
door l" said Hulda.

of dirt, said Gerda. 'sWhere IL the

tinted walls?"
And Gerda made no reply.
Then Hulda went TO q corner and
drew forth pair Of quaint, tiny shoes
and showed them to Gerda.
"These are q baby's Shoes" said
Hulda, ''and make Q music no art can

Then Gerda cried, s"Tis true. Oh,

head and wept. For she was chiIdlesg.

To Remodel Jackets.

It Is quite an easy matter, with moder-
ate expense, to remodel the well-made
tailor jackets Of two or three seasons.
They should first be carefully sponged
with tepid water In which there is q
little borax; then the Tapped back seams
that belonged to the Prince Albert coat
Of last year should be closed to the end
Of the skirt, so that they win fit smoothly
over the tournure. The front need not
be altered, except to shorten it slightly,
making it a sharp point there, and
gradually sloping upward ON the tourn-
ure, where It should be only about eight
inches below the waist line. These
jackets need no trimmings but rows Of
stitching and large buttons, yet II the
garment looks old and seems to need TO
be further renewed, ten or twelve rows
Of narrow mohair braid may be placed
around the edge and on the sleeves.
New jackets sold In the shops for 81 or
$I2 are stylish and pretty with widely
repped blue or black serge for the
material, and wide Hercules braid for
the trimming. Ofcourse they could be
made at home for 9 third less expense.
but in selecting the pattern the pur-
chaser is advised that those partly fitted
to the waist in front are more popular
than the entirely loose fronts. Corduroy
jackets are inexpensive, as they need no
trimming: they are worn now by young
ladies in town, and viii be popular for
travelling in the summer, as they may
be worn with the ecru, brown, and blue
dresses that viii be used for summer
journeys. The poppy red and blue
serge Jackets already described will be
worn on morning walks with white mus
lin. satteen, gingham, and other cotton
dresses. Hngper's BGzGr.

 SOUTH HADLEY, Mass, Sept. 17.-At il 8. m. yesterday Dr. Adelaide Richardson, teach CT of physics at Mt. Holyoke female seminary and one of the most popular and learned of the lady physicists in the country, was found dead lying fully dressed on the outside of her bed with blood flowing from a wound on the right side of her neck. She had been dead several hours. She had placed her surgical instruments within reach and while lying on the bed had punctured one of the arteries in her neck with long lancet, probably pro- ducing instant death. Her relatives at Wal laceton, Mass, took charge of her remains to-day Dr. Richardson was a graduate of Ann Arbor medical college, aged forty-sev en, unmarried, and everywhere loved and re- spected, not only for her deep learning but for her Christian character and happy disposition. She had been 8 member of the seminary for several years and had devoted her life to study and hard work. For over year she has suffered from head trouble and this summer has been under treatment at the New England hospital at Boston. About week ago she returned to her duties and appeared in her usual health and spirits. After tea Tuesday night she attended devo tional exercises and 8 social gathering. She then retired. Not appearing in the medicine room at a. m. Wednesday, as was her in variable custom, her door was broken in and she was found as above described. The fac ulty has made extraordinary efforts to keep the fact of the suicide from the public, but in vain and the affair has cast deep gloom over the seminary and village.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-There is prospect that work will soon be resumed on the Hud- son river tunnel through which trains may come from the west directly into the city without transfer of freight and passengers at Jersey City. Frederick B. Jennings, secre- tary of the company that began the work, says that arrangements are being made to carry out the project. Work was suspended on the excavations from each shore July 26, 1883, soon after the accident by which sev- eral lives were lost.
