THE WRITER.

William H. Hills has bought the half in
terest of Robert Luce in Tile Writer, and is
now the sole owner of the magazine. Mr.
Luce, who has been the business manager
of The Wy1teI-, retires because his attention
is demanded by other interests. Mr.. Hills
has had almost the whole charge of the edi-
torial conduct of the magazine for the last
year, and the change in ownership will not
affect its character in any way. The W,ftey
which has been a success from the start, is
more prosperous now than ever, and is likely
either to be enlarged or to be made a semi
monthly at the beginning ofthe next volume
in January. Its price is one dollar year,
ten cents a number, and its address is, The

One old woodchuck, remember, con-
structed his burrow almost In the center Of a
twenty acre clover lot, and every attempt to
capture him in any kind Of a trap utterly
failed It was the rarest thing in the world
to even catch him standing up at the en-
trance Of his burrow during the day, but

have fired thirty OF forty times at It under
such circumstances from the outer side Of the
stone wall which surrounded the field, and

loading Kentucky rife, which at seventy-five

shot failed; a cloud Of dust would puh up at

time 1 would confidently walk over TO pick
him out, but no, next day dt noon be was

No one who has made the tour by the st.
Gothard pass, travelling from Gosehenen to
Andermatt, but win receive with regret the
news that the famous DEVILS bridge over the
Reuss has collapsed. As the drive to Ander-
matt up the valley Of that rushing mountain
stream is one Of the most ruggedly beautiful
in Switzerland, so the DEVILS bridge Is one
Of the most daring struGtures with which
even Swiss engineers have spanned the tor
rents of their native hills Il consists Of q
single granite arch, resting at each end on
butbresses built upon the rocks around which
the Reuss fumes and foams without ceasing.
Some twenty feet below stands the wreck Of
the old bridge, moss grown and hoary, acrosa
which IL is probable the traffic will now
pass
The spot is famous In history as the scene
Of obstinate fighting in the Napoleonio wars,
IN the course Of which old Suvaroff and his
Russians distinguished themselves Ia their
usual dogged and heroic fashion. TO the
modern tourist il is chiefly notable for the
gusty wind which sweeps down the valley,
TO the imminent peril Of the travellers head

tous gorge, ever resonant with the thunder

Two new things sSs very noticeable at
Saratoga this autumn. Tlae first is that the
ladies have discarded gloves. They do not
wear them while walking, driving, dancing,
or apparently at any time whatever. The
second is the absence OF wine In the dining
rooms of the big hotels. When 800 persons
are at the tables It often happens that not a
bottle Of wine is in sight The pop Of 8
champagne cork is rarely heard, and only
now and then does one see clareb ON the ta-
bles On one day, when there was not a
bottle In sight, the diners at the table in

The autumn issue of Sfyaw6yidge q Cloth

grade of excellence, as a magazine for ladies.
A unique feature of the present issue is the
opening article on the BaYeux Tapestry, one
of the most curious and interesting relics of
bygone times. The original ofthis tapestry,
now at Bayeux, France, is believed to have
been wrought by the ladies of the court of
William the Conqueror, under the supervis-
ion Of his wife Matilda. If so, then this CO.
lossal piece Of needlework is fully 500 years
old. Accompanying an account Of the tapes

fac-simile, now on exhibition at Memorial

of the latest French styles is made practical
