The Amater Dressrnaker.


 The great difficulty and expense of secur- ing skillful dressmaker has forced many ladies to do their own work. The first es- sential is the fitting of the gown. Many ladies have this one item done by first class dressmaker, who will charge half as much for this one item as an unskilled dressmaker would charge for making the whole gown, but it is an expenditure wisely made if the lady cannot it herself success fully. After the waist is carefully fitted care should be taken that the trimming is not put on in such way as to interfere with the contour of the figure. Only few of the new bodices show any buttons this season. A vest and revers cover the buttons. It is we'll to have this vest and revers ap- piled after the dress is fitted, buttoning 1 she waist straight down the front as usual, and buttoning the vest over it under one of the revers Collars remain exceedingly l high. They should be 8 bias band, three i inches or more wide before they are fin ished, and should be held toward the sean- stress while they are put on, stretching | them trife so that they will fit snugly | around the throat The shoulde seams, the l inside of bodices should be opened and bound on the edge with bias silk or bind | ing which comes for this purpose. The 1 edges of the basque and the collar of l dresses of wool should be faced and lined with silk or farmers satin. An interlining | of crinoline about two inches wide should l be used around the edge of all bodices of l wool or silk. The convenient castings which come by the yard in all colors should cer. 1 tainly supersede the narrow bias folds of l lining with which it has been customary to cover whalebones. It is not wise, however, to use the covered steels which have been 1 introduced to take the place of whalebones l 1iahI f0 m 0r1k nf place and break, and in thin dress are l likely 10 show their outline.

Inoreas,ng value of walnut.

From the St. Louis Globe -Democrat.1
 For many years walnut was a wood that held absolute predominance over all other woods for furniture. But while other woods have become very popular and walnut is ap- parently on the decline, yet really walnut will always be ; fashionable wood. The price will gradually increase, for the large demand is fast consuming the supply. In many States fifteen yearSego the farms were inclosed with walnut rail fences, as the wood was not so valuable in those days. But in these States where walnut grows the lumber that would have formerly been cast aside with the ''culls'' is to-day sold for high price. Even the small limbs of walnut trees are now sawed up into material for, rungs and posts of parlor chairs. The old snarled limbs and knots of the walnut trees are sought after with avidity by buyers through the country districts, who sell them to firms that manufacture them into ornaments for antique shelves, fancy hsssocks and other sluilar furniture.

EGBLATING THE TRLEGRAPH.
 The action of the Senate in passing, with out discussion, objection or division, the bill regulating the business of telegraph compa- nies, is significant. The Interstate Com merce law has been pretty thoroughly en- forced, and effect has, on the whole, been beneficial. It is now proposed to regulate the telegraph business of the country in much the same way that the railroad business has been regulated.
 The bill brings telegraph companies doing an inter State business under the jurisdic- ton of the Interstate Commerce commission. It declares that all chances made for tele~ graph service in the receiving, transmission and delivery of messages, shall be reasonable and just, and any unreasonable charge for any such service is prohibited and declared to be unlawful. It declares 1t to be unlawful for any telegraph company to give any unreason- able preference or advantage to any particu- lar person, company, firm, corporation, or lo- cality, or class of business to any unresona- bls discrimination or disadvantage, in any respect whatsoever, or to charge any more for shorter than for longer distance over
  must afford equal facilities for the receiving, forwarding, transmitting, and delivering of messages to and from their several lines and those connecting herewith, and must not discriminate in it's rates and charges between such connecting lines. It makes 1t unlawful for any telegraph company or companies to divide between them the aggregate or net proceeds of the earnings of such companies upon their respective lines or any portions thereof.
 Further, the bill makes 1t unlawful for any telegraph company directly or indirectly, by any special rate, rebate, drawback, or other device or contrivance, to charge, de- msnd, collect, or receive from any persoL or persons, corporation or corporations. a greater or less compensation for any service rendered or to be rendered in the transmits sion of messages than it charges, demands, collects or receives from any other person or persons, corporation or corporations, for do- ing for him or them like and contempor- aneous service; but nothing in the act is to be construed as prohibiting any telegraph company from receiving, transmitting, aud delivering messages for the United States or for any State or municipal corporation, or for the press, intended for publication as news, at lower rates than are at the same ! time charged for social, business, and other messages, but no such company shall dis oriminate between two publishers of news papers by allowing terms to one or more newspapers for like and contemporaneous ' service, which are not allowed to other news papers in any city, town, or place where there is, or may be, 8 telegraph office from t which such messages may be dropped. Every telegraph company is to publish its rates to such extent, and in such manner, as shall be prescribed from time to time by the Inter State Commerce commission.
 Such a law as this will meet with genera approval, and it will be interesting to see ths Interstate Commerce commission regulating the Western Union telegraph company.

The Chicago News, an ardent administra- tion paper, says of General Harrison: A kindly man, with clear record, experience right, is good man for President. That de- scription fits MT. Harrison very well. If the Republican ticket does not win next fall it will not be his fault. He has saddled no auarrels on his party. He has healed its wound, which gaped in 1884.
 The statistics of suicides in France show for the past twelve months 7,572, one-ffth of these being in and around Paris. Poverty has only caused 4S3, and this figure includes a morbid fear of impending misery without actual privstion; 1,975 cases may be traced to mental alteration, and .1,2ss to physical suffering. Among the moral causes domestic troubles stand first and alcoholism next. There are 200 cases of disappointed love, 27 from jealousy, dislike of military service giving %.
