The Fall of the Bustle.

Leading French modistes have de-
cided upon coup detdt for the COM
ing season, TO restore the fashion, II
possible, of ultra fitness at the back OF
the dress. This is almost always the
case in France, where an evil is rem
edied by resorting to the opposite ex-
treme. The consequences OF this
change, If effected, will be numerous.
Wraps adapted to the former excre-
sciences upon skirts will be greatly
modified, and the towering heights Of
hats and bonnets, which were in some
way rendered necessary to keep
the tournure in countenance, so
to speak, will be lowered still
more than they have been
TO conform TO the general scale. How
ever, we shall not see the tournure en-
tirely relegated to the shades in Amer
lea for many months TO come, II ever,
except by a class of extremists whom
people stare at, but do not initiate, as
a rule. A wholly fiat dress at the
back is quite as ludicrous, inartis-
tic and unbecoming as the insane-
looking, wobbly protuberance to which
our disgusted eyes have so long been
accustomed. No gown, however ele-
giant or expensive, looks as well with
out some slight distinction at the back
as with it. Remove all fullness, and
the style of the daintiest or most costly
toilet is certainly injured. If not alto

Pennies in the South.

Pennies, so long despised in the
South and West, are now demanded by
those sections 80 eagerly that the
Philadelphia mint, the only one manu-
featuring minor coins, can not keep up
with the demand. Three million PEN
MES were made at the mint one month,
but If double that number had been
produced, it is probable they could at
once have been placed in circulation.
With the influx OF common, vulgar,
copper pennies in the extravagant
West and the aristocratic South there
is drop in general prices, particular
ly OF small articles. This, while bene-
fitting the buyers, will also do good to
merchants by increasing consumption
to very decided extent, Pennies are
very good things, particularly if one
has enough of them, and their wide
spread introduction all over the United
States, though rather late in coming,
now seems assured. = Philadelphia

The KICKING COW.
How to Handle Her Successfully Withot
Innlctlng Pain.

How to Handle Her Successfully without
Innlctlng Pain.
The kicking COW is not only nui-
sance but blur on the dairy herd. To
be sure in buying cows, instead of rails
ing them, you are very apt to get a few
kickers in the bargain. These COWS
can be handled easily by good man
as u rule, though at times you come
across an old stager that puts you to
your best work to milk her. We know
OF but one way to handle real bad
kicker, and that is to get a soft rope
about four feet long, and making her
tand with her hind feet close together.
form with the rope figure eight
around her hind legs just above the
gambrel joints, drawing the rope
snug and making it fast. This will
hold her hind legs together so
that she can not possibly
kick. After a few trials you will learn
to put the rope on very quickly, and it
can not hurt her. When the COW is
raised she should be MIXED at first by
a strong man with an even temper, who
can take the milk from her without
fretting either himself or the young
COW. To do this put her in the stanch-
ion along with the other cows. and
milk her just as you would an old one.
When she jumps or kicks make no to
do about IL, but keep right on, 80 that
she sees you mean business and moth
ing more. Her COW sense will soon
come TO her and she will stand con-
ouered. II she is inclined to kick
then, meet the blow with the left arm
until she gives 1t up in disgust. II you
lose your temper and show 1t, then
the work is not only to be done
over, but the bad impression left
on the young cows mind
has got to be removed, and 1t may take
weeks of repentant labor on your part
to accomplish that. The best way is
to agree with yourself when you SIT
down to milk the young COW that 80
soon as you feel your temper giving
way, you will get right up and walk
out of the stable, and stay out until
you have regained your equanimity.
Make that agreement and keep 1t, and
YOU will never have kicking COW In
the herd. Patent devices are general
liz more trouble than they are worth,
while chains over the back generally
means that the man, not the COW, is in
fault, and for this reason II would be
better to place the chain around the
mans neck than over the cows back.

Made Ten Million Dollars.

John McCune, the largest single oil
producer in the world, whose estate is
worth $40, 900, 900, is about forty-five
years OF age, of medium size, and dark
complexion. His face is smooth-shaven
except that he wears heavy black
mustache. His history is remarkable
one. He was born in Ireland, and
landed at Castle Garden less than
twenty-five years ago with scarcely a
dollar in his pocket. He drifted into
the oil country and became an oil-well
driller. BY lucky accident he obtained
large interests in the Bingham lands
at Bradford when the field was In Its
infancy. He left Bradford worth some
81, 100000 Since that time his opera
tions as an oil producer have been in
variably successful, and his wealth, as
above stated, is not less than $40, ,000,-
600. A large part of his fortune is in
vested in Government bonds, and he
also owns an immense cattle ranch in
Colorado. He is one Of the most
modest and unassuming Of men, Of
polished manners, and speaks as
smoothly as though native American.
His home is at Washington, Pa

COST OF STRIKES.
The Most Expensive Way of Adjusting
Labor Difficulties.


The labor strikes for the six years
1876 were 1908 and 22,336 estab-
lishments were involved. In 1887 there
were 1853 strikes, but the details have
not yet been summarized. II the same
average prevailed in 1887, the estab-
lishments involved would number A.
1862. For the six years the number OF
employees in the revolving establish
ments was 1,662, ,0i5. At the same
rate of proportion the strikers
in 1887 would number 363,074.
In the period of six years there
were also 2, 1872 locllouts involving 49,
905 employees. In the States of New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
Ohio and Illinois 74.74 per cent OF the
strikes and 90.S0 per cent OF the lock-
outs resumed. These five States con-
tain 40 per cent. OF the manufacturing
establishments. Now as to the results
OF these strikes: 0,407 were success
full; 3,004 partially, and s, ,9l0 failed. or
the lock-outs 60 per cent. failed The
leading causes of the troubles were
reduction of hours, increase OF wages,
and both combined. The losses are
as follows for the six years, and at the
same rate for 1887:

An Adventure by the Sea.

Amelia Barrett, in Auckland. New
Zealand, went walking along the
beach alone one evening, and next
day her clothes were found in a heap,
but no trace of her except the marks
oi her bare feet where she had walked
into the water The police searched
along the shere for her all the next
day. but the waves failed to cast up
her body and the newspapers set 1t
down as o case of suicide. That
night she came home clothed princi-
paliy in fern leaves, and said that as
she was on her way home the night
before her hat blew off into the water,
and seeing nobody in sight and know
ing that no one was likely to come
she had gone in after it. The tide
was stronger and the water deeper
than she thoug ht, and when she did
manage to get back to the shore it
was not at the same spot where she
went in. In the darkness she could
not find her clothes, and spent the
night in searching for them up and
down the beach. Just at daylight
she saw them, and at the same time
saw a policeman come along and pick
them up. She spent the day alterna-
ting between the water and the

THE CITIZEN.
Removing the Ring.

"will you please saw this ring off
my finger ?"
Ir was an old woman who made
this request of a Broadway jeweler,
and as the worker in gold and silver
took the wrinkled, though fat and
shapely hand in his, it trembled vio-
lently, and a tear dropped upon the
counter
"Excuse me-" continued the old
lady, "but it is my wedding ring. l
have never bad it off since | was
married - forty-6ve years ago. l
have refrained from having it cut,
hoping that my finger might get thin
Der and that / could take it off with
out breaking it,"
And what if | can remove it with
out cutting ?" inquired the jeweler
But can you 2" said she. looking
ND in a crednlous way. "Ifyou can,
do it by all mesDs."
Then the jeweler took the swollen
finger and wound it round from the
top downward in a length of fiat rub
ber braid. The elastic cord exerted
its force npon the tissues oftbe fin
gers gently and gradually until the
flesh seemed to be pushed down al
most to the bone. The old woman's
hand was then held above her head
for a brief interval Then the band
age was quickly uncorded and re-
wound about the member. This was
repeated three times, and finally 1t
was found upon uDcovering the finger
that it was small enough to admit OF

the jeweler, "and | have removed
