BAG FOR TRAVELLING WRAPS.

This bag viii be found very convenient
in travelling, as several wraps not in use
may be put into it and kept clean. A
piece of coarse crash or holland forms
the foundation, which may be ornamented
with stripe, and any simple pattern may
be worked between the stripes. Red
Andalusian wool or coarse red marking
cotton will be suitable for working the
bag, which should be cut twenty-seven
inches wide and one yard long. The
ends are sewed together, ard the edges
turned over about three inches. The
cross-stitch pattern is worked upon the
turned over part, and the edge is finished
By fringe. The handles are of the same
material, worked with cross-stitch
pattern, and are fixed to the bag by
buttons and button holes Yankee Blade.

The Rev. DIR. Edward BeecIer, who,

fIom the amputation of one of his legs,
says that in his opinion the vitality and

entirely to the care he has taken of his

drank ardent spirits in any form, and

eral adoption of ready-made dresses by
the ladies Of the CITY; hand-me-downs
they are called hy sarcastic dressmakers.

vertising, must tell you that when
the railroads took charge OF their own
tourist business a few months ago,
and crowded out the excursion agents,
the advertising business was set back
little, for the railroads did not know how
to manage it as we'll as did the old-tlme
agents. They are getting into the swing
now. though, and are distributing vast
amount of literature pertaining to this
section. The principal field from which
vour tourists is drawn is in New England
and our representatives there advise us
that INQUIRIES are very brisk, and that
the amount of interest taken as regards
travel to the Pacific Coast is indicative OF
a rush to come"

The crops this year are very fine all

the visitor in response to another query
from the HERALD man. There Is a
good deal of talk about the Chicago lines
building West, but they are not in posi-
ton to do 80 just now. Never, however,
were there better opportunities for con-
struction work than at present. Labor
is cheap and in great supply, and mater
ial can be obtained at the lowest figure
than has been possible for long time
past. The new road which the Rock
Island built last year into Denver was done
iD the face of many difficulties, but has
proved great acquisition and is one oi
our best pieces of property. OF course,
like the rest of the lines, we are headed
