A Shetland TirI.

A Dumfermline tourist, who visited
Shetland last fall, says the Miller, OF
London, England, has given graphic
description in one of the local papers OF
what he saw in the course of his tour.
One OF the things which came under his
notice was one of the primitive grinding
mills called the "tirl' mills of Shetland.
He has seen numbers of these in half
ruinous condition in the more northern
parts of the mainland, indicating that
they were being superseded by some SUI
perior system. These .'tirl'' mills are
very low erections, generally built in the
side of brea, down which a stream
from some hidden hill loch finds its way.
BY simple sluicing apparatus the
stream is turned when wanted to run
under the floor of the mill in a steep,
sloping artificial channel. In this chan
mel is placed an upright circular-shaped
piece OF wood, having an iron spindle
in the center. The lower end of the
spindle is fixed in the channel, while
the upper end finds its way through the
floor of the mill and is attached by a
cross-piece to the upper mill milestone.
The circular shaped piece of wood is fit
ted with six projecting boards, against
which the water strikes as it rushes
down its prepared course, and so sets
the upper stone in motion. Through
an opening in the center of this stone
the corn is fed in by hand, and the
meal, rs it is ground, percolatcs from
between the stones. and falls on clean
clay or boarded portion of the floor,
from whence it is gathered. The stones
are about thirty inches in diameter and
from three to five inches thick. Grind
ing mills of Il more modern type arc
now. however, established in several
districts among the islands, and gradu-
ally the ''tirl' Is being replaced by the
superior article. Still the .'tirl," and
even the guerra, driven by hand, are
found in use in various parts of both
Shetland and Orkney.

The agricultural statistics of Great

crease in wheat is estimated at 2,510, 1888
bushels; in peas, 1,336.55S bushels; in
beans, 2,610.8S3 bushels; in potatoes,
544, 500 tons; in turnips, 1852, 497 tons;

of violet like the pansics. and there is

combination consists of crown of

NEW MATERIALS

The new materials are very varied,
every leading house affecting its own
selection. FOulards of every variety
plain, striped, printed, and brocaded-
will be fashionable for demi-saison wear.
The spring woolens are decidedly less
clumsy than those for winter. They are
Tine in texture and light in weight; the
open-work ones resembling lace are the
decided favorites. They are always
mounted over silk, and for demi-saison
wear they will be the most fashionable.
Grenadine and striped gauzes are reap
pearing for dressy toilets, and the old
fashioned mohair has likewise made its
way to the front again; but silk and
WOODEN lace tissues over silk decidedly
take the lead, and have beautiful ef-
feet, varying in hue as the folds catch
the light.-London Queen.

washington's Headq uarters In France

After the surrender of Yorktown and
the departure ofthe French, Washing
ton established his headquarters at New
burgh on the Hudson. The house in

and shown as an historical museum.
There is pleasant story of La Fay

there. Just before his death, which &C.
Cured in 1884, he gave dinner party
in Paris to the American minister and
some friends who had been old associ-
ates Latter in the evening, when it
came time for supper, the guests were
ushered into the room which was in a
strange contrast with the elegance of the
apartment they had been in. The cell
ing was low, with large beams crossing
it; there was single small, uncurtained
window, and several small doors. It
looked more like an old-fashioned Dutch
kitchen than room in French house.
A long rough table with meagerly set.
A dish ofmeat stood on it, some uncouth-
looking pastry, and wine in decanters
and bottles, ready to be poured out into
glasses and camp-mugs.
"Do you know where we are now?"
asked La Fayette as his companions
looked about puzzled, and as if in
dream. "Ah! the seven doors and one
window and the silver camp-goblets!
We are at Washington's headquarters
on the Hudson, fifty years ago." He
had reproduced room as a surprise to
