HANDY NARROWING.
Why tho Harrow should Be kept Up Close
 With the Flow.

In blowing stubble-ground for wheat d writer well says that to insure de- sirable. firm seed-bed, with fine tilth of the upper portion of tho soil, the land should be narrowed as fast as plowed. Most good wheat land contains a con siderable proportion of clay, which usually turns up more or less lumpy. and exposure to sun and wind few days renders the Jumps SO hard it is difficult to crush them with any imple- ment; hence it is advisable that tho harrow keep up close with the blow. A thoughtful neighbor accomplishes this with little or no expense He keeps two blows running with horso teams while yoke of oxen is attached to the harrow. The latter is allowed to cover four furrows, so the oxen ac- company the horses every second round, giving them needed and ire quent rest in this hot weather. The plowmcn keep six furrows ahead of the cattle; so when the latter are at work two furrows intervene between the harrow and the last plowman. just the right distance for him to manage tho oxen. They have learned so well what is required of them that it is rarely necessary to speak to them. They turn when tho horses do and keep just the same distance opposite their driver all the time. The harrow can cover eight furrows, but taking only four fresh ones at time. it really gives the field two harrowings. Some portions of the field plowed up very lumpy. but this timely and thorough narrowing made all fine at no expense except the service of the cattle, for it was no det- riment to drive them. Besides mak- ing good seed-bed, it is Il satisfaction to the owner to know that the work is kept up even all the time -GaIen Will son. in N. |. Tribune.

DEEP SEA CURlOSITfES.
An Interesting Collection from the Coro-
 nado islands.

All interesting toliectioH rom tle GOrO-
 nado islands.
 The marine collection at the light house has been enlarged by yacht load of sea urehins abelones, starfish masses, eggs and seal skins which Harry Israel. the son of the keeper brought in the other day from q cruise around the Coronado Islands He was accom- panied by Henry Ge9rul. Of Ballust Point, and they remained week, fish ing. collecting and hunting.
 Israel said that he and Gerrul se- cured fifty hair-scaIs in one day. They shot the largo ones and killed the young ones with clubs. There are three seal rookeries on the rock points of the west side of the west island and two on the east island. Israel. who has ob- serted their habits, says that they are clannish and that the seals of one rookery never mix with the others The females are covered with fine hair, while that of the males is much coarser. The color of the young is a dark drab, but the old ones are d brown ish yellow. When the breeding season is over the sea-bulls disappear and do not return until the next spring. Where they go to is a mystery that has never been explained They swallow a quantity of small stones for ballast. which remains in the false stomach or ballast bag" as the sailors call it, until they return, when they spit them out. Mrs. Israel has a number of these greenish cobhles at her museum A bucketful is about the quantity Of stones required to ballast an ordinary seal.
 Mr. Israel said the west island was of solid rock with a coating of Ioam on the west side. It was there that they found the mutton birds, which bur row like a mole in the ground and come out only at night. After it became dark the explorers listened for the whirr of the birds, and when it came they struck out at random with stones and sticks, and when they heard some thing fluttev on the rocks would know that they had been successful The bird is q tritle larger than a quail, and has short. stubby wings, resembling those of penguin. They are nearly black with some white on the breast and towards the tail. Their legs are short. and the beak is longer than the quails. Their flesh is said 10 be pal atable, but the eggs only were tried. They are pullet-size and white, and Israel said were the best sea-fowl eggs he over tasted. He brought q number Of them, and also the eggs of the gull and shag.
 In cave OH tho west island he found a new kind of sea urehin. very beautiful and numerous Instead of the usual purple and black colors it was brown ish red and was some four inches in di- ameter. He also found an abelone the size of brown bean. which is much smaller than the least in the nest at the lighthouse.
 Mr. Israels formula for tanning the skin of hair-seals is to first soak them in solution of alum and salt. They then must be tackled up against flat surface with the inner side out and have to be scraped daily for ten days in order to get off all the blubber. San Diego Gal Sun.

CLOAKS FOR WINTER
oafmehts Whose Bcauty Ts ExcelIed Only

O"'S"'H "hose Bcauty IS ENcelled Only

 deavler cloaks for winter represent costume combined of two materials. such as push or velvet with cloth. and the cloth is ornamented with cut-work Tn large effective patterns of leaf or flower, corded on the edges orembroid- cred with silk. with the plush, or else cloth of contrasting shade, showing In the open spaces between the large figures. Sometimes the coloring of India cashmere shawls is given in these figures by applying bits of Oriental embroideries. Pawn or doyo-colored plash, with fox-fur bands colored to match, IS made into these long cloaks; which are then partly covered with cloth ot the same color. richly en- broidercd and mounted on the plush as sort of overgarment. Brocaded silk cloaks are also shown iu the very largo designs now in vogue; some in nickel gray. with black leaves of great length, are bordered with Astrakhan, or have Astrakhan fronts, and the shoulders are covered with cord pa5sementerie shaped like upper sleeves or like cape. the cord kno.ted in meshes. and then falling in thick fringe. Heavy passementcrie fringes will trim many of the richest cloaks of the next season, and will also be used on dress skirts. Matolassc silks. with lustroEs satin surfaces foc their large designs, are in tan and gray shades, to be trimmed with sab.e or with fox fur. A long cloth coat of tan color, fitted in the back and with hail. loose fronts, has applique open en- broideey down the front and back, with dark green cloth set underneath to throw theacsisn into bold relief For elderly ladies are haIf-l6ng mauttl}as of black plush OF velvet. with silz en- broideey done in braiding designs of vandy1e points as their trimming, and fringe along tho edges.
 Shorter wraps for the demi-se2son and for wearing over handsome winter costumes are in cape and ma1ti9a shapes.

A high wired collar and q small hood are pretty additions to seal-ptush man. ties, and when made in this simple way they are frequently mistaken foe tas- seal eapes. Dircet0ire capes of cloth are made very full, being cut round, with the small center at the top fitting the neck, and failiug thence in folds about the shoulders X high wired col lar of plush or of fur is very stylish on such ea2es. h an attempt to introduce threc-quaeter-3oog coats tho Louis Qainze coats are shown of cloth or vel vet, embroidered all over and fitted to the waist, with fronts sloping away to show au elaborate vest. also with revers and IHcr0ya5ie crayat Evening wraps are shoulder c.tpcs with Plaited manliia fronts of white wool, broe#dea with gilt, silver or copper, and some color such as old-rose, sky biUeor Nile green. in large leaf, or pyramid. or palm de signs.
