From Harpers Weekly.
The international court tennis match bet raep
the English champion, George Lambert, and
the American champion Thomas Petit of Pos

Guided on Saturday, the 10th. At the BEGIN
ming the English player gave promise of an
easy victory On the first day he Won 3 of the
sets, and on the second day he won of the 4.
The score therefore stood in his favor : to 2

Both played so well that the contest became

INTERESTING IMPORTATION FROM PARIS CON
CORNING CORRECT COSTUME.

CORNING CORRECT COSTUME.
From the London Daily News.
y Paris journalist is good enough to enter
into details for the benefit of his readers upon
the subject of the correct form of evening dress
to be worn by men of bon ton. He has also
Illustrated his meaning by introducing the por
trait of a lady-like young man in knee breeches,
white waistcoat, gloves aud gaudy smile.
The tyranny that rules the mode does not eX-
empt the members of the sterner sex. They
Obliged, we learn, to wear rings, but they
must be only two in number and must be worn
on the little finger of the right hand. The
watch may be worn after dinner, but in secret
only. Those who cannot manage perfect
clusion for it must leave it at home.
This is particularly insisted upon, and minute
instructions are given as to where the chain
may be inyisibly fastened and the watch
creted. 1t is, it appears, the height OF the
pschutt to have the evening shirt made of white
pique To match the waistcoat. One, two or
three studs This last style is 1.-THE
most serious The most elegant manner is
to content ones self with one stud, which
should be jewel OF price, representing the
head OF an owl, a cat or Il dog. 1t must not be
larger than n fifty-centime piece. about the
size of our farthing. Engishmen will be in
terested to learn that our French neighbors
faSten their white ties down ut either side of
the bow by means OF icwcled pins, represent
Ing flies crescents, horschoes or other fancy de-
sign. The white tie is again re-eS:ablished.
The silded youth of Paris made attempt to
replace its immaculate tint by one obtaining red.
1t became rather popular at first, but at recent
ball at the ElySee the red tie received crush
ing blow. The gentlemen who preSen ted them
selves thus attired We're begged by the officials
To go and exhibit the cravat rouge elsewhere,
upon which their cheeks took on blush that
rivaled the tint of the ties in question. No
where is ceremonial more insisted upon than
at q republican court. and perhaps this fact may
account for the excess OF detail into which the
friendly Bachaumont enters upon the subject
of evening dress. Few white gloves
in good society, he remarks. The pearlgray
derby gloves are most in favor, with three
black stitchingS and two buttons. The shoes
must be decoi1etcS at dance, but for less fest
i've occasions the Moiiere shoe must be worn.
This enumeration Of few of the important
points insisted upon by the apparently
cOgnized SartOrial guide may serve to prove to
those who read that the study of millinery is
not in France confined to members of the beau
seXe, and that the masculine mind across the
silver streak is given to agitatc itself the
subject OF two more studs, the shape of
collar or upon the burning question of the

The Indianapolis Times says the Com
missioners of the new State House have
awarded the contract for lining the treas
ury vault and furnishing the necessary
locks and doors TO the Mosler Safe and
Lock Company, Of Cincinnati. for the
sum Of $4,000, they being the lowest and
best bidders. The work on tho building
seems to be going on with great rapidity.
The superintendent reports 273 men en-
ployed about the building on the first
day Of June, and that up to that time 8,
673 cars, containing material for the
house. have been inspected and unloaded
on the grounds since the work began,
nearly all Of which has been worked up
and placed In the building. About six
car loads Of stone alone arrive daily from
the quarries. Some Of the stone average
elk and eight tons each.

Every summer citizens Of Portland,

local druggist paying them o. an ounce
for the oil, which finds ready sale. A

Ofall the cool things In this world OF
cheek, says the Boston Herald, the pas
sage cited from the sentence Of death
passed by Wyoming territorial Judge
upon condemned murderer is certainly
the coolest. After reviewing the trial,
he said to the prisoner: Il am by no
means satisfied with the evidence in the
case, and am not sure whether you killed
John Forbes. or whether he died by a
visitation of God, but my sentence Is
that you hang on the third Friday OF
June; and should You know Of your own
innocence you will have the comforting
thought that II Is doubted by some OF the
wisest thinkers OF the age whether life Is
in any circumstance worth living" This
refrigerated philosophy deserves place
among the curiosities Of law.

MINIATURES. June 20. IS. w. Tai
madge has prepared his monthly crop
report and second estimate on the prob
able wheat Weld OF the United States
for 1885. He says there Is no longer a
question as 70 the damage aud loss to the
winter wheat Of this country. A falling
offof loo coz. 600 bushels Of winter wheat
nom last year Is calamity unprecc-
denied In the history Of wheat raising IN
the United States. The present condi-
ton Of spring wheat is good. but there
must be favorable weather 10 harvest TO
produce the amount OF wheat shown In
the present estimates. as they are based
on the present condition. The acreage
in Minnesota. Nebraska and Wisconsin
is somewhat decreased Iowa Is about
the same and Dakota slightly increased.
The estimate Is tabulated by states and
territories Is based on late information
from the state agricultural departments
and other reliable authorities, and are rs
nearly correct as estimates OF this nature
can be. The estimate shows the proba-
BILE yield OF spring wheat lal.OUO. 600
bushels winter wheat, 2l0, 900 600 bush
els; total, spring and winter. 33l, 100000
bushels. From these figures it will be
seen that the crop Of 1885, compared
with 1884, viii show shortage in winter
wheat OF 160.OO0,000 bushels; spring
wheat 100000 bushels; total shortage
in spring and winter wheat, s2.0OO,0o0
bushels. The average wheat yield OF the
United States for five years past is 46l,.
600 600 bushels. The estimate shows a
shortage compared with the average oil
five years past of ls0,OOO.OCO bushels.

SWINE Raising and Pork Making.

Good feeding qualities and early ma
turity, are the necessary traits in the
nature of a good pig. The most prof
table pig runs in the orchard, eats
fallen fruit during the summer, and
reaches a good weight by early win
ter, when 1t should be killed. The
young pigs should come during March
and April, and be fed all they will eat
through the summer. During moder-
ate fall weather, most of the corn fed
at that time goes to the making of sal
able pork, while in cold weather,
much of the feed is used in keeping
up the animal heat. 1t is then plain
enough that a pound of pork can be
made more cheaply during early fall
than in winter. Pork products-as
lard, sausage, ETC., as a general rule,
bring better prices in the fall than
they do later. There may sometimes
occur a necessity for late feeding,
when it may be done probably
enough. Last autumn, the corn in
many sections was badly injured by
the early frost, so that where there
were large fields in corn there often
were large quantities of soft, unsala-
bic corn. Cattle were high in price,
and hogs low, because many had not
corn enough to fatten them. Those
who had enough poor corn to carry
their hogs through until after New
Years realized the high midwinter
prices for their pork, and made winter
feeding pay. Where winter feeding is
attempted, the hogs should be provid-
ed with good warm pens. Ordinary
pens may be made quite comfortable
for hogs by lining them on the inside
Of the studding. so as to leave a space
Of four inches between this lining and
the outside weather boarding. Fill
this space with sawdust or wheat
straw and the wind cannot get through
it.-AnerScap Agricslturist for Aprig.
