Practical Hints Concerning Attire and
Adjournment.
Vests are now made so narrow that
ribbon three inches wide will serve for a
stylish vest. This begins at its natural
width at the neck of the dress, and
slopes to point at the waist line, where
it may stop, or else widen again below
to its greatest width. This vest is in
laid, and the dress waist MAY be but
toned down each side, with tiny but
tons and holes, or else it may be made
more dressy by passing under revers
on each side of velvet, which is three
inches at its greatest width, and there
fore may be made of velvet ribbon.
Imagine, for instance, a dress of dark
blue wool with a narrow vest of the
striped canvas ribbon, ecru or blue in
the center, and the side stripes of gilded
and scarlet heraldic figures. Or if the
dress is of black wool, the vest may be
of MORE ribbon or of mohair with white
galloOn for both vest and revers, while
for black surah, silk or grenadine
beaded galloon with large beads will be
used for the revers, and the vest may
be of the dress material if it is too cost
ly to have a beaded vest. Another less
costly way is to have two or three rows
of galloon alternating with bands of the
material, forming plastron that begins
at the neck and stops at the top of the
first dart; this has the effect of making
the waist look fuller and shorter, while
the narrow vest appears to lengthen it.
The V-shaped piece for front and back is
made of velvet, beaded grenadine, lace,
etc. The simplest muslin dresses have
tucked V in back and front, while those
more elaborate have the points set in of
embroidery. The skirt is round in the
house-maid fashion, and its only or
naments should be tucks two inches
wide.
be made of the notified mohairs sold at
twenty-five cents a yard; these are sin
gle width, and sixteen or eighteen yards
are required. They should have rows
of two inch tucks across the front cx-
tending just above the knee, and above
these a wrinkled apron hemmed and
stitched in rows; this is sewed to the
belt of the foundation skirt, and the
plaits on the side are then made fast.
The back is plated to the back of the
belt in very small space, and is plated
again lower down to form pulled tour
nure, from whence it falls to the foot in
plaits that meet in the middle; there are
about five OF six on each side. For
young girls this mohair in fawn-color,
or in changeable navy blue and brown,
can be well made up in round tucked
skirts and belted waists, or else worn
with jersey; trimmed with white braid
they will rival the more costly blue,
white or striped fannels for boating
and mountain dresses. b.

Watering Horses.

Horses working in the field require
watering more than three times day.
When horse plunges its head deep
into the trough to drink, it is injurious
ly thirsty, and has been suffering. While
the owner visits the water jug kept in
the shade about once every hour, he
scarcely ever thinks of his team, labor
ing in the dust and suffering from thirst
1t is a good plan to carry supply of
water to the field for the horses on q
light drag which is as easily taken As
to drive the horses or lead them to the
field in harness alone, and it would be
grateful change to carry bunch Of
fodder along, to give them mouthful
when they rest at times. Regularity in
watering horses is point which ought
to be carefully observed. because they
will worry. when thirsty, until relieved.

How the Industry Prospers in This
Country.
The silk industry, which has become
80 large an interest in this country, is
purely manufacturing one. getting its
raw material altogether from abroad,
duty free. The manufacturers do not
expect much result from silk-raisins
i'll America. chiefly because they think
silk can no. be well reeled in this coun-
try at any satisfactory price 1t is
stated that girls in the French tilatures
earn only from one to one and half
francs Twenty to thirty cents) day,
snd in those of Italy seventy-five
centimes to franc Citizen to twenty
cents) for fourteen hours work, while
equally skilled labor here should return
nearly dollar. Moreover, silk valued
at four to five dollar per pound can be
brought to New York from Japan at
from three to eight cents per pound
freight. The promising field for AM
erican silk-growing in America seems,
therefore, to be restricted chiefly to
that of a subsidiary industry tor women
and children, who would not otherwise
be at work, and then under the dis
advantage of ''house reeling.' Whether
the production of cocoons, not for reel
ing, but for direct use by the growing
industry of spun-silk manufacture,
might prove profitable. is very ques-
tionable in view of the low price (about
seventg-tve cents per pound) paid for

by Philadelphia ladies. headed by Mrs
John Lucas, in April. 1880; it has per.
manent offices at 1923 Chestnut street,
where reeling is taught, silk-worm eggs,
mulberry trees and hand-reels sold, and
books of instruction, which it publishes,
supplied Two silk exhibitions have
been held, and the association boasts
twelve auxiliaries in as many States,
and has had, it states, over thirty thou
sand correspondents. 1t is hoped ulti-
mately to open tilature. Its prospec-
tus, in presenting the claims of ''Amer-
ica's new industry" says: 1T can be
prosecuted by the feebler members of
the family, women and children, or
aged persons, to whom the severer
country life is burden, and the COM
pensation is sure; for if our country is
sending annually to foreign lands
eighteen million dollars for raw silk.
there is no reason why this amount of
money can not be divided among om
own American culturists. The crop or
product is not perishable, like much of
the farm product, and the trees, once
planted and grown, yield perpetual
supply of food for the silk-worrls, care
being taken only in the annual picking
of the leaves"
The production of sixty thousand
pounds of cocoons was reported by cor
respondents of the association in 1888,
largely from southern New Jersey and
from the South.-Ha7per's Magazine.

Downing the Boss from Bosaville-An
Astonished Magnate.
There is saloon out on Grand RiveL
avenue which has long been the head
| quarters of the Boss from Bossville.
Whatever he asserted in politics. relig.
ion, social science or finance had to be
accepted as gospel, or he would mash
the dissenter. He was fighter and a
hard hitter, aud most of his victims
came to their senses to softly inquire if
the cyclone had left anybody else alive.
A PAIR of events happened to aston
ish the Boss and his cohorts. He was
laying down the law on evolution. and
just aching for some one to dispute him,
when stranger with venerable gray
locks and venerable white whiskers
came in for glass of beer. He lis
tened to the Boss for moment, and
then, to the horror of the select circle
present, he boldly challenged the cor
rectness of each and all the assertions.

Thank your interrupted the old
man.
"But I'll head you for outdoors and
give you short ride ON the toe of my
boot to teach you manners"
With that he grabbed at the venera-
bic wniskers with his right hand. and
clutched the venerable gray locks with
the other. Both pulled away, and as
he stood holding them in his hands
thunderbolt lodged in on his nose. As
he went down he had dim conscious
ness that the house was falling in, and
that the town of Bossville had been
swept away by a tidal wave. The
stranger worked away at him until
tired out and then drank his lager,
picked up his disguise, and left the
place with the remark:
Some of you better tell him that he
took an overdose of laughing-gas. 1t
will sort o. let him down easy
When the Boss finally opened his
eyes to ask what had happened they
tried the laughing-gas dodge on him,
but it was no go. He gathered his
punched head and bruised body into .
bundle and went out and sat down on
the commons and slowly figured it all
out by himself. The Boss had been
downed. Bossism was played out
