NOVELTIES IN FAlENCE.
Flowers and Leaves OF Gold and CoIors to
Take the Lead.

Take the Lead.
The new designs in faience ware will
be decorated more beautifully than any
thing ever produced in this ware by
American manufacturers. Some of the
new patterns were seen by a reporter
through the permission Of the manager
Of a leading manufacturing company.
He said the new feature of the trade is
that the American production has be-
come o well known that the retailers
have no difficulty in selling it. 1t is
observed, also, that the taste of the
people is more cultivated than for
merly. In the common or ''printed'
ware there can be no artistic work. One
of the pieces of faience recently made
cost S275. 1t is a bowl-shaped vase,
thirty-eight inches high, of Pompeiian
design. The entire body is covered
with a heavy coat of bronze and on
this is traced pond lilies and leaves in
heavy gold work. The cover bears the
shape Of a Turkish fez and both cover
anu handle are perforated.
A novel ground work is malachite
green. 1t is a deep shade and shows
to best advantage under a strong
light. 1t is decorated only in gold. In
the new decorations beautiful flower
patterns will prevail and colors and
gold will take the place of the bronze
and gold Of last year. An exquisite
effect is produced by a wild rose pat
tern in pink and pale blue, set off by
gold and shaded by gold and medium
brown. Another decoration is a this
tie in full bloom, in gold. with foliage
in pale brown. Pond lilies form an
other new design, the blossoms being
red, with leaves in deep and light
green, the whole on light yellow
ground. There are also punches of
wo%rtleberries in raised gold on a
groundwork of pale cream color, or
berries in red against Il white ground,
with foliage to match.
There is u new craze for lamps made
Of faience ware. An extremely hand
some design is a lamp which stands
16I inches high; it is vase-shaped. The
body is formed like a bowl and the
neck is nearly as long as the body. The
latter is covered with wild rose deco
rations in red and gold, and the body
decoration consists OF five trumpet flow
ers in heavy raised gold on cream
groundwork. 1t is worth $50. A new
feature is the making of Easter novel;
ties. among which are swans, full-har-
messed elephants, Il boat-shaped shell,
bell-shaped olive jars and fanciful bon.
bonnieres. All are decorated in flow
ers of gold and bronze.-N. Y. MAJ

ENGLAND'S NEW RIFLE.

British Wal Office.

In view Of The feyerish anxiety dis

zine rifles, the factories working day
and night, it is satisfactory TO learn
that our WI War Office is bent upon
keeping pace with the times. The
Small Arms committee, appointed as
far back as 1864 to consider the SUBJ
ject, have practically settled upon a
rifle which is now before the Secretary
Of State for War. 1t having been
definitely decided that a small-bore
magazine is to be the arm of the
future, and a responsible committee,
after protracted and exhaustive trials,
having recommended an arm which
fullls all the conditions necessary for
a military weapon. immediate steps
should be taken to expedite the
manufacture both by the trade
and the Government factory
at Enfield. The new arm.

not least, there is noperceptible recoil.
This alone. apart from its other good

HANDSOME SATlNES.
Beautiful Dress Fabrics for Spring and
Summer Wear.

~ DASH0 ~ f-
Summer Wear.
The lines of satines of domestic
manufacture are very handsome and
hold their own well beside the French
goods. There is certainly n very de-
cided difference in the patterns. but
our patterns show handsome designs
and a fine quality in fabrics. There
are q number of reddish brown and
other brown grounds, strewn with odd
figures in gold color that are much adj
mired. These are thirty-two inches
wide and sell at twelve and one-half
cents n yard. All the new summer
tints are represented and a handsome
line was noticed in stripes and plaids
with plain material for combination.
One piece shows a wide stripe of Rus
sian blue alternating with II gray shade,
and these are dotted with Persian de-
signs and colorings. There are satines
in red, brown and garnet grounds, with
unique gcometrical figures in yellow.
japanese designs also flourish in these
goods and are particularly taking. The
toile du Nords appear in in charming
tints and colors and look rs fresh and
attractive as possible. These standard
fabrics have a claim upon women folks
that would be hard to obliterate. They
wear and do up beautifully and are u
pretty, desirable fabric, and the price
is extremely moderate.
Many of the Parkhill stripes are
lovely. the Claghorns also showing
beautiful colorings and varieties. The
large plaids arc also in charming
mingling Of tints, and most desirable
school and country dresses can be made
of the fine stripes represented on dark
colors. Among the new stripes are
those of various widths in the now fash
ionable solferino color with white, and
thes anne style is shown in the various
browns with white. Solferino is a
color that was much liked a few years
ago, but went out of fashion altogether.
Recently it was resurrected by Worth
who made rich dresses of it for nobility
and that settled the question.
The plaids are outlined with fancy
cord effects and are very pretty. Para
soils come to match many of these
handsome goods and will he used alto

would be well to remember this fact

and it is already limited that the new
styles are surprisingly lovely.

colors are red. brown and blac, and the
bright reds are very pretty trimmed
with black. Such gowns are very de-
sirable for the entire year, as there are
many days in summer that they are
most comfortable. particularly If one
is not feeling well, or at the seaside.
A model seen in Gobelin blue has the
back cut of in a blunt point just below
the waist, and a plated skirt added;
princess fronts cut away from the neck
and the edge laid in two kilt plaits on
each side over a plated vest, and a

CABBAGE RATlONS.
An Excellent Food For Cows When Given
in Moderation.

In reply to the question: ITO what
extent cabbagcs may be given to cows
without proving hurtful, | would say
that. having fed with cabbages for
many years. l never knew of them
''proving hurtful;' but. then, they
we're always given-as every kind OF
food should be-in moderation. This
| would consider to be two large cab
bages, or three smaller. if given once Il
day; and if given twice il day. two
middle-sized ones night and morning
would be sufficient. A good cabbage
will weigh from 5 to I or even s
pounds, 20 that the ration would stand
thus: Once a day, from l6 to Is pounds;
twice a day, 9 to ~ pounds each serv-
ing. There are two good reasons for
. ovcr-fccding with cabbage. They
are generally q limited crop, and. if
used sparingly it roe without saying
they last longer. and so tide Oft the
necessity of having ecoursc to less in-
nocuous substances; and also they are in
themselves so nutritious. and contain SO
high Il percentage of gluten. that they
are better given as a mixed ration than
as a sole or cven Il preponIerating
food. Of the value of cabbage either
for man or beast there is little doubt.
Paterson. in his book on gardening.
says: Nothing on either garden or
farm will make II better return. The
late cabbage is the most valuable crop
for cows which can be produced. All
summer the leaves are i~neXhaustible.
and then the huge, solid, and sayory
bolls cause the brutes in very gladness
to overflow with milk" But it is in
the autumn and early winter. when
the pastures begin to give out. that
they come SO conveniently to the front,
keeping the cows in heart and health,
without spelling the flavor Of the milk,
as is too often the Ease when root feed
ing is resortcd TO. Therefore by all
means feed with cabbage, If you have
them, but see thar you take due care OF
them, for there is nothing so good 10
take their place when they are gone.-

Those familiar with the Vanderbilt

income accumulates so much faster
than they a possibly spend it that
additions TO the property grow very
fast. Mr.. Aston came down town one
morning not SO long ago. locked over
a few investments, and ordered $500
900 of bonds and 2, 900 shares of stock.
William Aston has a large family and
grand children; John Jacob Aston has
one son, William Waldorf Asfor. who
will probably be, if his father is not
to-day. the richest man in New York
City.
There are many men in New York
richer than the richest MAJ in any
other city, who are possibly never
heard of, and whom it would puzzle
people to name. Moses TAYLOR was
figured at 800. 900, 900 to $50 600 900
when he died; he owned enormous
tracts Of real estate, many mort.
cages, and he had 40. 900 shares Of
Lackawanna stock, which it was said
had paid him back his entire invest
ment with 7 per GER interest and
81 800. 900 profit besides. One paper
was thought to be very wide Of the
mark when it estimated his wealth at
$40 900, 900. Most people will be sur
prised to know that the appraisal
showed him to be worth when he died
vel SCI 900, 900. The property has
not been divided since his death.
1t was generally supposed that Mrs.
Stewart would count as the richest
woman in New York, and yet when
the returns of the collateral Inherit
ance tax were made it was found that
the Henrietta A. Lenox estate paid on
account of this tax $40, 534. Mary j.
Morgan's estate contributed $64 col.

PLANTING GRAPE VINES.


1Dtereat Every Farmek
As yearling vines are moEe easily
trained than elder ones, they are usr-
ally chosen to plant. They will do
well on any good corn land, but it is
best to choose q southeast slope. The
roots, which are often a foot or more
long, should be cut back to eight inch
es, and must not be allowed to become
dry ; also cut the stem back to one
foot. They should be planted in rows
running north and south, rows eight
feet apart and eight feet between vines
in the rows. The holes should he two
feet or more in diameter and nearly or
quite eighteen inches deep. Plant the
vine in the middle of this hole and fill
in only enough to v the roots to the
depth they grew in the nursery rows.
This will leave the hole ten inches
deep, which should be filled up during
the season, a little at each cultivation.
Vines thus planted seem to better with
stand drought and frost.
Before much growth Of vine is made,
some kind of trellis should be con-
structed. Common fence posts set two
rods apart in the rows, with two or
three smooth wires, makes a good one.
The top wire should be about four feet
from the ground. Only one cane
should be allowed to grow during the
first year, and it should be trained up
straight by ean of a slender pole or
lath attached to the wires. When the
leaves drop in the fall, cut this cane
back, leaving only three strong buds,
and cover the stub with a
small mound Of earth. The second
spring allow only two ane to
grow. Train both of these obliquely
on the wires to the northward. In the
fall, if the canes are strong, cut the
laterals back to two or three buds and
the main canes to two to five feet long,
according to their strength. Lay them
on the ground and place a few spade
fuls OF earth on them so as to cover the
tips and crown. and to hold the vine
down. They will thus be protected
from the extreme changes of temper
ature and from evaporation from the
cut ends and bark.
Leave them in this position until the
leaves begin to swell in the spring,
then tie up as before. By this method,
which is essentially that recommended
by Prof. J. L. Budd, of Iowa, the vines
are in good form for future pruning.
This should be done each fall, just after
the leaves have dropped. All l~aterals
should be cut back to two to five buds,
according to strength, and too many
spurs should not be left, AS the object
of this trimming out Of old wood is to
let air and light have free access. The
vines should be laid down and partly
covered with dirt each winter there
after in localities where they are liable
to freeze back. In the spring, after
the buds have begun to swell on ex-
posed parts, they can easily be raised
with a six-tined fork and tied to the
wires of the %trellis. Bones are espec-
tally good fertilizers for grapes. They
should be placed a foot or so deep near
the vines. Roots have no trouble in
finding them, even if a few feet away.

MR. GLADSTONE AT BIRMINGHAM.
THE GRAND OLD MAN ADDRESSES A GREAT

MEETING ON THE IRISH QUESTION
Birmingham Nov IA great Liberal meeting was
held In Bngley Hall this evening. There was an
enormous demand for tickets two guineas being paid
for the best seats and the whole space left free TO the
public was crowded three hours before the speaking
began. Behind tho platform was Shield on which
was inscribed: A" The Tide Is With U.s."
Punctualy at 7 80 O'Clock Mr.. Gladstone, looking
hale and hearty, ascended the platform, the audience
cheering him enthusiastically. He was accompanied
by Chairman Oslet, Lords Ripon, Spencer and Rose
berry, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Mr. John Morley
and other prominent Liberals. Mr.. Gladstone, upon
rising to speak, was loudly cheered. He said that
Lord Harrington, who. among the opponents OF the
Liberal party spoke with the greatest weight had re-
Gently said that the Home Rule question was dead
He (iartington) had developed popularity hitherto
pnsuspected-he showed vivid Imagination. (Cheers)
But he would from these proceedings whether
Home Rule dead whether the aid of an under
taer should be invoked to the absolute necessity
Of the other party. (Laughter
Mr. Gladstone illustrated at length the inequalities
In the laws under which the Irish suffered, peciay
the laws dealing with combination, public meeting
and tho prison treatment of political offenders. Lord
Harrington, he said, charged the Liberals with the
responsibility for the evictions in Ireland. The
responsibility in reality belonged to those who refused
to give to the Irish tenant the relief from that
had been given TO the Highland tenant
When Mr.. Gladstone referred to the two wings OF
the Liberal party for the purpose of denouncrg the
broken pledges Of the dssidents in the hall
shouted: One wing has feathers" This sally
was greeted with much laughter.
