Mems Scarfs and Neckties.

All scarfs are larger now that vests
and coats are cut lower, yet the glimpse
of the shirt bosom is seen on each side.
Scarfs tied by the wearer are most pop
ular. and there are also scarfs made up
to look as if they had been tied when
put on. Both very light and very dark
scarfs are worn in figures and stripes
of silk, or satin, or armure goods.
Some folded scarfs are shown slightly
pulled or else flat, but the preference is
Tor knotted scarfs. VIII te cambria ties
for evening are slightly wider. but are
still very narrow. Large silk mulflers
to wear inside the overcoat are very
dark for day use, and are striped with
satin in self-colors or in contrast; for
evening u.s. they are cream white and
also very pale lemon-colored damask
satin, or with stripes, or else bordered.

SLAVERY IN CONGO.LAND.

There are rows upon rows Of dark
nakedness, relieved here and there by
the white dresses of the captors.
There are lines or groups of naked
forms upright, standing or moving
about listlessly; naked bodies are
stretched under the sheds in all posi-
tions naked legs innumerable are
seen in the prospective of PROSTATE
sleepers; there are countless naked
children, many mere infants, forms
of boyhood and girlhood, and occa-
sionally drove OF absolutely naked old
women bending over basket of fuel,
or cassava tubers, or bananas, who
are driven through the moving groups
| by two or three musketeers.

rhe Value OF wood Ashoa.

We often mention unleached wood
ashes rs a special fertilizer for the or
chard, as having all the required ele-
ments of plant nuttition except nitrogen.
Few people, however, even when told
that one bushel Of ashes represents
about two and half tons OF dry body
wood, have q correct idea Of the true
value Of the article. According to Prof,
Kedzie, one hundred pounds OF (beech)
ashes contain IS pounds Of potash, worth
80 cents. 81 pounds of soda, worth 2
cents, OF pounds oflime and magnesia,
worth s cents, and 6111 pounds Of phos-
phoric acid, worth rs cents. Tdese
same elements, as contained in loo
pounds of ashes, IL bought In the form
of chemicals or phosphates, would cosl
not less than $l.16 The process ol
teaching divests ashes OF its larger part oI
potash, but leaves the other elements
nearly intact, and you can easily figure
out for yourself how much leached ashes
are worth. Save ashes, buy ashes. both
leached and unleached. No argument
Is needed here is the value and there

AccldenfallY Killed.

An inquest was held yesterday after
noon at the morgue by Deputy Coroner
Smith, on the body of the man who
was killed on Thursday evening at the
West Yard. The evidence of special
officer d. j. Slicer, engineer William
j. Jones and firemen Henry Brockmau
showed that just as train No. II, drawn
by engine No. 30, was approaching on
the south-bound track, the man came
from behind the railroad office at the
yard and stepped on the track, facing
the train. The engineer blew tbt
whistle and applied the air-breaks, but
was too close to the man to stop in time
to save him. He was tripped by the
pilot and thrown with considerable
force against the engine, which hurled
him some thirty or forty feet, killing
him Instantly. The jury then rendered
Q verdict of accidental death. AS yet
there is no clue to his identity, but the
body will be kept at the morgue fol
several days.

Ia making thorough trial of home

farmers may easily and cheaply make

tion of that character will be hailed
with Joy by every farmer. As already

where they confidently expect forty
bushels of wbeat and eighty bushels Of

1t probably would be interesting II

doubtedly would be even better thar
