The evening full dress suit of the
coming season will vary but little in
actual appearance from that of pre-
ceding years. The coat, as D. rule,
will be made offine diagonal worsted
cloth, although for elderly gentlemen
broadcloth is frequently worn The
fronts of the garment areso cut that
when lying close into the body the ends
OF the roll will meet. The well-peaked

five button holes, a tritie below the

ton holes: The collar is to be made
trltle less in width than the top OF the
lapel, it's outer edges ranging very near
ly with the outside edges OF the lapel.
The edges are bound about one eighth
Of all inch in width, and thegarment's
corners are all slightly rounded. As
has been stated, the garment should
be made of worsted, and the trowsers
and vest of the same material. Should
the coat and vest, however, be made
OF broadcloth, the trousers are to be
made of doeskin.
Within the last two years there has
been q gradual but marked change in
the cutting of trousers. The change is
undoubtedly for the better. The "skin-
tight" garments of the last few years
are to be known no more. Mans leg
covering is still to be shapely; that is,
neither verging on bagginess nor tight.

follow this rule, and at the bottom
will, this year, end with a very slight
spring, and in many cases g. marrow
binding will be sewed on the seams at
the Sides; The vest varies but slight
ly from those heretofore worn. The
opening is very decided, and in form
should be somewhat of the shape OF a
shield. The buttons are four in num-
Der, and are about two inches apart.
The garment is finished with a collar
that rolls slightly.

Raising Calves.

There is no subject in connection
with the diary OF greater interest to
the general reader than that OF rails
ing calves. This is one of the points
in the diary farm. With all the mod.
ern notions and undoubtedly correct
ones, too, if we had q wife who loved
to feed calves, We would like no bet
ter business than buying up the can-
ditates for "deacons" and making
good profitable veal Of them, says the
American Dairyman. Prof. Henry
gives some fresh ideas on the subject.
lie says that, from carefully conducted
experiments, ne finds that skim-milk
is worth 25 cents per 100 pounds for
feed to calves. More calves, he saws,
are injured by overlooking than by
under-feeding. Feed three times a day
moderately, not colder than 90 dog.
Fahrenheit, and find this out with the
thermometer. Teach the calf to eat
whole oats by the time it is three
weeks Or a month old, by slipping a.
few small handfuls into it's mouth lust
after it has drank milk. When 1T has
learned to eat them, keep q supply
before it in a little box. If you
haven't oats enough for the horses
and calves both, let the horses go
without rather than the calves
Don't waste time to grind the oats.
Bran, oil-meal and same other arti-
cles are good, but oats are the most
satisfactory of all. He never knew Of
a calf eating too many.

"A Boys Sleep.

It is a mistake to awaken children
too early in the morning If boy
sleeps until O'Clock, because he does
not 60 to bed until 10 OR later, the
remedy lies not in waking him early,
but in putting him to sleep early. II
he goes to bed early and sleeps late,
that fact alone is reason enough. for
not waking him. A great deal ofharm
may be done by applying to growing
children the term OF "early to RISE"
'rising with the SUM-" etc. In old
times, when artificial light was scarce
and dear, and many people were
Obliged to 60 to bed with the fowls,
lying abed in the morning was @ sign
of laziness. This tradition has come
down to us with SO much force that
many believers in it think it virtue
to cut short the rest OF even young
children; whereas sleep is absolutely
necessary to their health and develop
ment. Ii q boy who does not sit up
late sleeps until 8 o'clock, it is sign
that he needs more sleep than most
boys; and it ia too sweeping, as it is
cruel, to say "wake him early" A
parent has no more right to starve a
child of sleep than Of food; not as
much, i'll fact, because a child is often
in danger of eating too much, but sell
dom in danger of sleeping too much;
certainly not when his sleep is part
OF his regular nights slumber.

He Forgot Himself.

Alphonso, a French waiter, says the
New York Times, stood on the Mon
tague street dock, Brooklyn, looking
gloomily into the water. The hideous
shudder of intending suicide crept up
his nerveless limbs. A casual friend
hailed him with a slap on the shout
der that shook the color back to his
paid cheeks and the tirmness of hope
back to his knees.
"None OF that, now" said his friend
warningiy. "What's the trouble with
you this tlme?''

Some Feeding.

Mr.. J. NJ durcey OF the Iowa Agri-
cultural College, gives the following
feeding experience and some observa-
tions thereon: aug. 20, 1884, Ia
shoats, weighing 1895 pounds, were
bought for s cents per pound. Dec.
1884, Is sold for 1915 per 100, the
average weight being 346 pounds. For
convenience deduct 1873 pounds from
the total weight of l 1886 and there re-
mains l, 797 pounds, which cost, at 5
cents per pound, $50 So; ,499 pounds
sold for 1915 per 100, $16S,6 gross
receipts, 47s.s2. The growth OF g.
7Ol pounds from Aug. Is to Dec. 81
must have. required, according to re-
liable experiments, at least 225 bush
els of corn. This at rs cents
per bushel leaves net profit of
only $22.57. These figures are
valuable. They show that splendid
gain can be made on buJtermik and
dry corn, which WAS their feed almost
the entire time. 1t seems to me that
those farmers having splendid con-
yeniences for breeding swine will gen.
orally make the greatest profit by sell
ing shoats, weighing say 90 to Ito
pounds, for 1-2 to one cent above reg
ular market price. Such prices are
readily obtained of other farmers in
this locality. All young animals are
the mosttproftable, acknowledgements
increase in live weight from the least
food. This statement is not generally
believed among feeders and yet it re-
mains scientific truth nevertheless"

Harvesting Onions.

When the tops of onions begin tc
turn yellow and fall down, it is time
the bulbs areharvested. They should
not be lett in the ground much longer
than this, as they are liable to com.
mence a second growth, which very
much Injuries the keeping quality
They may be pulled with wooden
rake, or light diggingfork. Some grow.
ers let them lie on the ground after
pulling, two or three weeks to dry;
others put them in small piles after
three or four days, to sweat; leaving
them thus two or three weeks, after
which they are again spread for day
or two, and than stored. The bulbs
may be put into barrels, or spread
upon the floor of a loft orstore-room.
If on tight floor, they should not be
piled more than a foot deep, though
they may be safely piled 8 or 4 feet
deep in bins having Slated bottoms.
Hkept over Winter, they should be
protected from severe freezing.

How RrOnZes Are Cast.

10 make the matter clear, T will sup
pose that one OF the first artists OF the
day has modelled s, statue which is to
be cast in bronze. The statue is q
seated female, half draped. She has
bare feet and raised arms. The dra-
perry is fill OF narrow, deep folds, de-
signed to show and emphasize the
movement OF the figure. The statue
is cast in plaster as soon as the model
in clay is finished, and is handed over
to a bronze founder-"a founder" he
will probably style himself. The first
thing he will do will be to cut off the
arms, because it is so much easier to
mould them separately. Then he will
probably cut off the body at the line
OF the drapery; then he will likely
enough cut off the plinth. All these
pieces he will mould and cast sepa-
rately. They have to be then cleaned
up with chisels, punches and files to re-
move the lines left on them by the
seams OF the mould, the latter having
been made OF many pieces, fitted to
each other in the same way as piece
moulds are made in plaster.
The seams left on plaster casts by
these latter are familiar to every one.
Hthere has been deep or intricate
underwriting in any part, as in the
hair, the ears or drapery, probably
this has been quietly filled in by the
founder-to the obstruction of the
artists work-in order that it may be
easier to mould. I know of one in
stance in particular where q very i'm
portant national monument was so
treated, to the disgust ofnrtists. The
nation was none the wise. All these
pieces have been cast and scraped up
must now be put together. This is
done partly by means OF screws and
rivets' partly by braising the parts TO-
gether, according to circumstances.
These joints have then to be worked
over with punches and files in order
that the exact line Of joint,lre may be
concealed; indeed, it is often requisite
to work over several inches on. either
side to effect this purpose. Sometimes,
what between the lines Of the mould
that have to be removed and. the joints
that have to be worked over, there il
but little left ofthe touch of the original
artist.-English Illustrated Magazine.

Jefferson. Davis.

Acorrespond dent Of the Globe Demo-
rat who recently talked with Jefier-
son Davis, says that he conversed
pleasantly upon matters of q literary
and philosophic nature, to which he
3eYotes much study. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis inquired affectionately Of
many Georgians whose memory thev
cherished; OF the peerless Gordon, the
fright arm of Lee" of Gen. Colquitt,
Of Gen. Henry r.. jackson, whose
bravery as q soldier in the Mexican
war Mr.. Davis well remembered; and
especially OF the eloquent Hill, whose
memory is g. precious sentiment in
the family. '~.-'.
Gin the days. said Mrs. Davis,
''when friends were needed, Mr.. Hill
came to nae SO tenderly, and offered
his assistance with such considerable
ness, that I can never forget it. II
think" she continued "thathis statue
should be in q recumbent position, it
g SO dignifed and represents his sleep
ing power"
"Ah," replied Mr.. Davis, 'f, statue
II action, such as that of Patrick Henry
IL Richmond, cannot be surpassed for
sxpression.':
"And yet" resumed Mrs. Davis,
'sthe eye becomes iatigued rs it looks
Upon an active posture which is never
changed, while you can look upon the
recumbent statue of Lee for hours.'
"Very true" said Mr.. Davis, "that
is the statue of a. man at rest: whose
work is finished. That OF old Patrick
Henry is at his work, appealing to the
people. In looking upon either, my
mind runs back to the occasion.''
Mr.. Davis favorite author is Sir
Walter Scott. SCOTS great power of
describing objects in motion, and the
scenery in which his plots are laid, are
so truthful and realistic as to make
their recognition easy to the traveller
who visits them. Among poets he re-
cards Byron the greatest. t'The
striking feature of Byron isthat when
ever he renders g. quotation from the
classics he always improves it so much
as to become his own Other authors
have always failed in this regard.
Moore is theperfection Of harmony,
while Burns expresses human feel
ing. The three-Byron, Moore and
Burns-make a. complete COM
bination. Bulwer, among modern
novelists, is perhaps the greatest.
He is the only novelist whose style
changes with age--his Last Of the
Barons' being as different in every re-
spect from Pelham as though writ
ten by different persons. The only
connecting link between the successive
works is theretention Of the alchemist.
The greatest danger to the country in
the futureis the vast aggregation of
| wealth in single hands. Prim ogeniture
was abolished as remedy for that
evil in times past. Now large fortunes
beyond the power of the owner to
spend-can be accumulated in one life.
The opposite evil-agrarianism--is
the greatest. There is difference b.
tween education and wisdom. have

. An old army officer told me how
Gen. Grant once revived the Tagging
courage of one of his staff officers.
Thelatter, when he WAS first assign ed
to duty under Grant, had never been

the first day that he reported to
Grant he was placed under fire of
the hottest and most severe kind.
The screaming of the balls, the roar
ing of the cannon and the sharp crack
and rattle of the musketry, thorough
ly demoralized him. He became abso
lutely sick and paralyzed with fear.
He was so weak from nervous excite.
ment that he lost physical control
over himself. Grant came up at the
very. climax of his fright and noticing
his pale face. his blue lips and chat
tering teeth, he said: Captain, you
are frightened. That is natural
enough. You will getover that Sup
