Autumn Millinery. .

Felt, velvet and tinscl embroideries
are the leading features of the earliest
autumn millinery, while the novelty
that is seen in all kinds of materials for
the milliner's use is the combination of
wool with silk goods. This last fol-
lowed naturally on the success of unit
ing cotton and wool with better goods,
as in the canvas fabrics worn during
the summer. and is the legitimate re-
suit of using wool in summer laces.
Illustrations of this are shown in rib
bons with stripe of wool, stripe of
plush and a satin or faille stripe; or
else open wool stripes like the angora
laceS in colors have q gilt thread
wrought through them, and are be-
tween velvet stripes in bonnet ribbons,
while .'pieoe goods for making the
bonnet have a wool charlottesville
cloth, or they are in lace patterns with
embroidery in tinsel threads all over
the surface. Wool braids fourth of
an inch wide are plated in basket pat
terms with many gilt threads forming
cross bars. and this fabric is to be used
for the crown or the bria of the bon
net in combination with clotn or velvet
or, if desired, the whole bonnet VIII
be made of it. The boucle effects
noted for dress goods are also to be
seen in the wool stufls used for making
bonnets, and in the stripes and bars
of the ribbons for their trimming

A CURSE.
This is What the Possession of Too Much
Land Involves.


Land Involves.
The natural tendency of this age is
towards TOO much expansion. Men are
not satisfied with a moderate business,
with making good living and a rea-
sonable sum besides; but they wish to
amass millions. and so spread out and
worry themselves prematurely old, and
in a majority of cases die. leaving no
mere than they would had they confined
themselves to the smallar fields and not
having taken 1.-THE of the comfort they
would have then enjoyed. The Rural
NeU Yorker makes note of this. and
calls the attention of farmers to the fact
that in no business is this more the case
than in farming. There is many man
who. when the owner of single farm
of fifty or one hundred acres, was
splendid farmer, keeping his fields clean
and well cultivated. putting in his crops
in good season and in the best order,
and securing each as soon as mature,
and keeping the best of stock, and thus
made money, lived in comfort, and,
besides supporting his family well,
laid by small sum for a ''rainy day."
and was happy. But, ambitious to be
rich. he reached out after another farm.
and since this was bought he has found
so much work to do. so much business
to look after. that he has not had time
to do anything well; his fields are
weedy, his crops. always sowed late and
in a poor manner, and not more than
half MANFRED or tended. give but poor
return, and even these are not harvested
until over-ripe, and then in a slovenly
manner, leaving him no profit. As
result, he is always hard up. and works
beyond his strength. while his family
have to get along with the bare necessa-
ries of life, and no one has any time for
comfort or happiness.
Is this fancy picture? Look about
and YOU will find its reality in every
neighborhood. And many a one bur-
dened with too much land, would be
glad to sell the surplus and return TO
the home farm, only for false pride.
By far the safest and most sensible way
is to be sure that one farm is improved
all it can be, and made las rich as
garden"-forced to produce its largest
crops at the greatest profit--before
another acre is added. As a rule larger
profit lies in the direction of better
farming and larger crops. rather than
in more acres.-Ciereldnd Leader.

Foote and the Lawyers.

Foote never tired of roasting the law
yers with his wit, of which a sample
may be given. A simple country farmer,
who had just buried rich relation. an
attorney. was complaining to him that
the expenses of a country funeral, in
respect to carriages. hat bands. scarfs.
ETC.. were very great what. do you
bury your attorneys here?" asked
Foote. 'Yes. to be sure we do; how
else?" 80. we never do that in Lon
dom" '.No" exclaimed the astonished
countryman. chow 90 you manager"
''Why. when the patient happens to die
we lay him out in . room over night BY
himself. throw open the sash. lock the
door. and in the morning he is entirely
off" '.Indeedr' said the other, amazed.
"What becomes of kim?" ..Why. that

never after that attempted suicide. One
remarkable feature about this mans
case was that he never attempted or
seemed to contemplate ending his life
any other way than by cutting his
throat. After recovering from his
second terrible experience he seemed
to improve. He continued growing
better, until finally his folks, upon their
own responsibility, took him home,
where he continued doing well until
some time in May last, when he again
showed symptoms of returning insanity,
but before he grew bad enough to ba
returned to the asylum. he was kicked
on the head by horse. sustaining a
fractured skull, which in the course of
a few days resulted in his death.
Many other equally as thrilling and
horrible truths can be picked up at
almost any insane asylum of any note.
Many more incidents that would make
very interesting reading came to my
notice during my visits, some of them
very ludicrous, others pathetic. while
the above are among the most terrible.
There is one old man at present in the
Dayton Asylum who donated 500 to
the institution when it was built. and
this fact is one of the very few things
he never loses sight of. 1t seems to
burn into the poor fellows very soul.
There are number of the inmates who
in some way have got it into their poor
brains that they are there waiting for
payday. and the attendants tell me it
is very touching when several OF them
become impatient and demand Their
money on threats to leave. They often
claim their wives and children are
starving. and they must have their
money or they will die. 1t is utterly
impossible for one to imagine the har-
rowing thoughts that a short study of
an insane asylum and its patients will
awaken. 1t must be experienced to be
appreciated.-Ida Nay, in Cincinnati
Enquirer.

THE ICELANDER.
Dosaestis Content Of the Inhabitants Of the

Domestic Content of the Inhabitants Of the
Island.
Everywhere the mountains rise alb
ruptly from the sea, often standing a
perpendicular wall hundreds of feet in
heighth, and then sloping gradually
back to the peaks above. Here and
there along the sides, on some slope
less steep than the rest, surrounded by
a few acres of ground which presents
no very striking contrast to the lava
waste surrounding it. can be seen the
turf-cOvered huts of the Icelandic
farmer, and at the end of the ford
stands the cluster of well-built houses
forming the village, which supplies all
the surrounding country with most of
the neccSsaries of life. These houses
are generally owned by foreigners. and
sometimes by one man; company of
Norwegians who work the fisheries
about the island during the summer,
or a Danish merchant who may have
several trading stations along the coast.
Often, on passing the end of the pro-
montories which separate these fjords,
small farm can be seen lodged on the
slope high above the water, or in some
small valley between the mountains.

and from side to side. He was then put

head and shoulders in, so that it was
utterly impossible for him to move the
least nit. He was kept in this contri-

which time it was very doubtful wheth-

taken from the crib he was transferred
to ward 10. His hands for long
time afterward were kept in the leather
muffs. but he finally induced the at
tendant, on promise to not again at
tempt suicide, to take them of. Tom,
his old attendant, upon learning of this
fact. called on the new keeper and told
him he would regret taking off the muffs
before the week was over, and sure
enough he did. The third day after the

liver and constipation grew worse and worse
until it was almost impossible for me to lie down
and sleep at night for 1S months, owing to the

was in a chair, my head resting on pillow on
table. Was treated by two physicians, and
did no good. After having despaired of ever
