Col. Ingersoll comes over here from Wash
ington almost every week now, and he can
generally be found lounging about the lob
bes Of the Hoffman house. IngersoH has
been lecturing on Sunday nights at the Bijou
opera house, not because he specially wanted
TO lecture there, or because he could make as
much money in that theater as he could draw
in other New York houses, but simply be-
cause in doing so he has chance TO do q
good turn to his friend, Gen. Barton. Inger-
soil is very peculiar sort of man, though his
peculiarities are certainly all in the way Of
goodness OF heart and kindliness Of purpose.
Years ago he travelled through California un-
der the management Of Gen. Barton, and
there sprung up between them at that time
friendship which has lasted up till now, and
which induces the great infidel TO lecture at
the Biiou opera house, where he can draw
only $500 a night, instead Of speaking at the
Academy where his receipts often run from
81, 800 to 81, 700 night. Gen. Barton has
been in rather tough luck during the winter.
He has been involved in financial difficulties
with his landlord, who has done his level best
10 ruin bis tenants. Besides, Barton has
been i'll. Ingersoll is willing TO have poor
houses IN order TO put dollars in the pocket
Of his friend. Did you ever know what Col.
Bob's chief ambition wasl Well, he wants
TO play Hamlet, aud says he will never be

adds good naturedly that he doesn't think he
would look well as the melancholy Dane, but

Awarding Against slippers.

A gentleman who had travelled q
great deal and spent some years in En-
gland was speaking of English women
and expatiated, rs usual, says the Tor
onto Nail. on their good health as
compared with American women, and
the long walks they took, and finished
with the remark: ssBut the English
ladies never wear their thick shoes in
the house; they always change and put
on slippers" This idea seems to pre-
vail to a great extent among American
women also. that it is the proper thing
to wear slippers in the house. This
may be a good plan for those who live
IN houses kept ut a summer heat at all
times and never GO out except when at
tired for visiting. shopping. or some
thing of the kind. 1t is also a relief
&c the weary housekeeper VINO has been
on her feet all day to sit Down in the
evening with her slippers on.
But tho practice of wearing slippers
in the morning, when one is liable to
be called on to step out doors at any
moment while the grass IS wet with
dew, is productive of wet feet, which
in It's turn is one of the most fruitful
causes OF colds and all the evils that
follow IN their train. In the fall and
WINTER nOnlliS, IO0s the uOorS are cOiu
in the morHing. and good thick-soled
shoe is much more comfortable than 8
low-cut slipper. even though the latter
may appear a little more like house
dress. The fact that they can be so
MUCH more easily and quickly put on
Than shoe mag perhaps be one reason
for prefcrriug them. but that should
not be considered for 3 moment
We are not speaking of the wear of
slippers during the hot and sultry
months of summer. but the common
practice amoag women Of wearing
thefn exclusively around the house.
Men are foni Of donning the dressing
gown aud slippers in the evening after
the chores are done, but they do not
wear them around their work. Al

on an errand OF to step out doors.
Women would often be more willing to
take walks were It not for the trouble
of getting ready. Not TO dispense
with slippers altogether, for, as we
have said. they are often useful. we
think the general health of women
would be improved by wearing high
shoes more and sliDDers less

Pueblo Dispatch: Mr.. John Harris,
president and manager of the Seven
Rivers Cattle company, who have their
range on the Pecos river, just on the
New Mexico and Texas border, arrived
in the city this morning, via the Santa
Fe road, with 900 head of cattle, which
1t was his intention to drive north. The
cattle have clean bill of health issued
by Geo. @. FaYille, state veterinary sur
geon, but the legal adviser of the cattle
men state that he has no right to issue q
bill OF health to any cattle coming from
below the Seth parallel of north latitude
before ninety days quarantine, and
these cattle have been on the road about
two months, and the bill OF health which
was issued TO them have no dates. The
law says that any bill of health issued to
such cattle before ninety days limit
must be used by the state sanitary board,
which Is interpreted literally. There
are now 5000 head of Texas cattle here,
and local stockmen claim that 10000
head will follow il these get through all

both deny, and say there are none to fol-
low them. The local stockmen are firm,
however, aud say that while these cattle
are doubtless healthy, it is not for the In.
ierest OF the Pueblo county siockmen
that they be driven through this aud the
adjacent counties. Sheriff ] G. Nee to-
night notified the owners OF the two
herds that they could not drive their cat
tie northeast. and If lhey attempted to do
so the local stockmen will no doubt
make 1t interesting for them. Messrs.
Adams and Harris both say they have no
desire to do anything contrary to law,
but they think that If the present state
law is Ineffective this is COED time to
find It out.

Crop Statistics.


Topeka, Ks, July 3.-The following
is q synopsis of that part of the forth
coming report of the Kansas State
Board OF Agriculture for the month end
ing June 20, 1885; relating to the winter
wheat. The official returns received
from twenty four counties since the date
of our last report shows an increase in
the acreage of winter wheat over the
estimates of the correspondents upon
which our calculations for April and
May were based of an amount sufficient
TO increase the area for the state to
1855, 728 acres. OF this amount cor
respondents report that 4742 per cent
or S32 500 acres will not be harvested,
and careful computation of the esti-
mate of correspondents by counties
shows the average yield per acre for the
state to be 11.08 bushels, which in
dIcstes q product of the cereal in
the state this year OF IL, 233, 1856 bushels.
or 21.92 per cent of the harvest of 1884,
and short of the average annual product
for five years about 20,217739 bushels.
Major Sims has been unable to find any
foundation TOR g better estimate of the
winter wheat crop than is contained
herein. The condition of the other crops
will be given In q short time.

shall There be Trousers and sus-
1enders for Women2

/ can ouite conceive that man thor
ouphIv in,bued with the prejudices re-
ceiyed from a biased education, indis-
posed to accept new ideas. and deeply
endowed with love for the beautiful,
might be reluctant to pay his address
es with a view TO matrimony TO wo-
man wearing trousers. Still, under
the influence of familiarity with the
idea of . change in the neither gar
nents of the sex, aud especially should
they be generally adopted by pretty
women, it might reasonably be ex-
pected that change of opinion and
emotion would ensue, and that perhaps
in time he might even be brought to
regard trousers as filing more COM
pletely his idea of the beautiful than do
skirts at the present day.
There is another point that requires
consideration, and that IS the practice
OF wearing the gown cut low IN the
neck, SO as to expose The breast, and
without covering for the arms. 1t Is
doubtful if this leads to any i'll conse-
oueueas. It has been continued for
many generations without apparent in
iury, IL might be supposed at first

| pneumonia, and many kinds of rheu-

It has been strenuously urged by
| many so-called sanitary reformers that
women should support their skirts by
| straps passing over the shoulders, and
some few have been induced to adopt
the method. 1t is to be hoped that ii
will not spread. 4 woman's hips are
proportionally wider than those of q
man, and there is no better way Of
keeping up the many petticoats that II

1t is true that many men wear sus
