Novelties in Furs.
Braided gowns continue to be
greatly in demand, and two pretty ex-
amples of this kind are well worth de-
scribing. The one is in myrtle-green
cloth, braided deliberately in a mix
ture of myrtle green and gold. The
pointed bodice has a shaped vest of
braiding, while similar designs are
brought down to a point below the
waist, starting from under the arms at
either side. The skirt is arranged
with long draperies frightened with
braiding and opening on the right side
over a graduated panel formed entirely
of five knife ~plaitings of myrtle-green
cloth. With this gown n double
shoulder cape of cloth is worn, made
with a high collar covered with green
and gold braiding, and so arranged
that it can be worn either standing up
or turned down. The other gown is
in a warm, red shade of brown, called
dahlia, with a full skirt, plated on
one side and trimmed there only with
two long lines of terra-cotta braid
ing, reaching from waist to hem
and forming a kind of panel.
The bodice is cut very short in
the waist, and opens in front over
crosswise folds of terra-cotta silk, sur
mounted by a Directoire jabot of fine
ly-plaited cream lisse. The bodice is
further finished with a wide collar
turned back so as to show the braid
ing with which it is ornamented.
1t is somewhat early to touch upon
fur-trimmed garments, and yet they
are already displayed in the shops.
One example is a trim little jacket
made in what is technically known as
black-ribbed coating, and arranged in a
very becoming ann in front, with
two waistcoats. The lower one, OF
cloth, is cross-wrapped and handsome
ly braided, while the upper one, which
is like a plastron, is covered entirely
with black Astrakhan fur. The deer
collar is lined with the same fur, and
can be worn either turned down OF
standing up a Ia Mcdicis. The deeI
cuffs are also of Astrakhan, as well a,
the edging of the open jacket from
and the two covered buttons at The
back on the waist line. This jacket il
novel and stylish, and, as our Englisl
cousins say, has a very ''smart" effect

Horses for Farm Work.

The character of the farm work
horse is not to be decided upon by its
appearance, but mostly by its perform
ance. or course. %soundness is o sine
qua non in estimating the value of a
work horse. but how few farmers test
their horses by the amount of work
done in the field or on the road The
best walking pace is rs valuable to a
farmer as the best trotting pace is to
the owner Of a roadster. And horses
differ in their walking pace quite as
much as they do in the faster PAGES.
What is the comparison between u
pair OF horses that will draw a pillow
at the rate OF two miles an hour and
another that will do the same work at
four milesP 10 pillow an acre is worth
at least 81. Forty acres plowed Is
worth $40. The slow team earns $40
while the fast team earns $50. This
difference is equal to the interest on
$500 at 8 per cent. So that the farmer
who keeps n slow team might profit
ably pay $500 for a fast-walking pair
OF horses than the ordinary market
value OF the horses, or 5000 or 800

A REWELL

Summer is dead.
Soft to the rose that droops her weary head
The wine breathes low:
Farewell, oh sweet, l who have watched
thee grow,
Now watch thee die.
When next, oh beautuous rose. l pass thee by
Upon the ground
n scattered swos tuess thou wilt then be found.
Farewell, farewell!
/ who have watched thee grow now ring thy
knell."
Summer is dead.
The brown leaves cover her from foot to head.
The leaden sky
Weeps her sad death; the loud wind rushes by,
A birds sweet trill
Rings from a gold tiuged tree, then all is still.
A farewell song
To the strong boughs that sheltered him so long,
He wings his flight
Now, to another cline of sun and light.
And we must part.
With heavy, tear-wet eyes, with bleeding heart,
Farewell we cry.
How many months, nay, years may swift run by
Before we meet,
We can not tell. These days, these hours so
sweet
Are AZ an end.
MY heart is full OF sorrow, oh my friendl
We part and kiss.
Farewelll What sadder word on earth than
this?
How soon, alas
The summer days go by, the hours pass
And bliss is done.
How swift, alas the course OF joy is run.
Osad farewell
0 bitter word! yet oft We hear its knell.
Each hour that flies
Is burdened with the passion Of its signs.
When will it c~ease?--
When we bid life farewell, and soar to peace.

DUMAS.


Two Excellent Anecdotes Told of the
Famous Novclist's Books.
Two anecdotes are told of Dumas
books, one by NJ. Edmond About, the
other by his own son, which show, in
brief space, why this novelist is so
beloved, and why he deserves our
affection and esteem. M. Villaud, a
railway engineer, who had lived much
in Italy, Russia and Spain, was the
person whose enthusiasm finally Sc
cured a statue for Dumas. He felt SO
much gratitude to the unknown friend
of lonely nights in long exiles that he
could not be happy till his gratitude
found u permanent expression. On
returning to France he went to on
suit NJ. Victor Borie, who told him
this tale about George Sand. M. Borie

Again, M. About says that M, Sarcey

a little Spanish boy. The child was
homesick; he could not eat, he could
not sleep; he was almost in a decline.

THE NATIONS PRESIDENTS.


What Is Known Concerning Their Relig-
ious Views aud Associations
All that we can ascertain concerning
the religious views of the Presidents
of the United States Is included in the
following: Washington va a commu-
meant in the Episcopal Church. Adams
was the son of Puritan parents, who
loft England to enjoy religious freedom
in the wilds of America. 1t vas in
tended by the parents of John Adams,
when they sent him to college, that he
should become a clergyman in the
faith OF the Puritans; but he 500
found himself too much Of II free
thinker to feel at ease in the rigid
pulpit of that day. He was often
called a Unitarian, but Of dogmatic
theology he seems to have had very
little. Jefferson was an ~Episcopaliail,
nominally, but seems to have been
what is now called an agnostic. In
later life he was the originator of tho
Charlottesville University, of which
he was chosen rector-an Office he held
until just before his death. Andrew
jackson was u real Blue-stocking Pres
byterian, proud of his faith. Martin
Van Buren, was II staunch old Hol-
lander, not, we believe, a commune
cant in any church, but through his
Holland blood connected with and nd
herring to Presbyterianism. William
Henry Harrison, the grandfather OF
the present President, was a dew oted
Episcopalian. Polk was of Scotch
Irish descent, and had the blood of the
Covenanters in his veins. He was not
connected with the church of his
fathers during his administration. but
was baptized on his d~eath-bed. Pierce

H COAL


Years Act 10 toHlt'
In view of tho question which has
suggested itself on moro than one oc-
casion as to how long it would be be-
fore the old world coal deposits would
become exhausted, the Deutsche Han
del Museum supplies some interesting
figures relating to the worlds coal
fields outside Of the North American
continent. According to these low coun-
tries, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany
and Bohemia, possess coal mines OF a
surface area OF about 5000 square
miles, Russia alone has $4,000 square
miles. The deposits of tho island OF
Formosa amount to something like 49,
900 square miles, some OF tho coal veins
ranging up to 96 feet in thickness. The
coal fields of Austria, Spain, Portugal,
Italy, Greece, Turkey and Persia cover
about 80, 900 square miles, those of In
dia, 35, 900, and those OF Japan 5000
square miles, while those Of China are
estimated at the enormous figure OF
400, 900 square miles. But these arc
not all.
The Falkland islands, Patagonia and
Peru are very rich in coal, while tho
southern part of Chill is one immense
deposit. In Brazil veins varying in
thickness from II to 25 feet are found
in numbers, and in the United States Of
Colombia there is an abundance Of the
mineral. Mexico and Vancouver
islands are all well supplied, there be-
ing probably not far from 20,0 0 square
miles, while tho deposits thus far dis
covered in Tasmania, New Caledonia
and Natal, are estimated to cover 100,
600 square miles, the larger number o
these deposits not yet having beef
worked.
Without reckoning tho immens
stores OF coal in the United States, AM
merely relying upon those given above
there seems to be but little prospect Q
a coal famine for some years.

LandIadY,s Troubles.

Mrs. Lucy ]. Fuller, the proprietress
of lodging-house at 428 East First
street, appeared in the Police Court
Saturday afternoon and swore to a COM
plant against John Tracy. one of her
roomers, charging him with disturbing
the peace. Mrs. Fuller, who is an
elderly lady and some what of an invalid,
says that for some time past
Tracy has neglected to pay his rent when
it became due, and all her requests for
money we're unheeded. A few weeks
ago she says she insisted upon his either
paying up his delinquency or vacating
his room, but even this met with no
response from her lodger, and she was in
despair. On Friday afternoon, to COM
plete her difficulties, Mr.. Trantom, the
proprietor of the building, gave her notice
to quit the premises, and naturally Tracy
received one also. This only infuriated
the latter against his landlady, and
Saturday morning she states that he met
her in the hallway and shaking his fist
in her face he denounced the notice to
quit as a scheme perpetrated by herself
in order to effect his removal from the
house. He then broke out into volley
of aousive language and threatened to
''do her up'' if she persisted in trying to
get him out because he did not pay his
rent. Tracy was arrested by Officer
Jackson on warrant, at 7 :45 pm, and
locked up in the City Jail. He stated
that the reason he acted so disgracefully
was because Mrs. Fuller called his child
names and cast reflections upon his wife,
who is now an inmate of the County
Hospital

miles or more from Redlsnds to the
lake. The entire trip can be made in
one day on horses which know the trail
and are in condition to stand the strain.
1t is much pleasanter made as described
above.
Two young men, knight and Metcalf
by name, have a very comfortable hotel
in the valley, about half mile from the
lake. 1t is in the midst of fne grove
OF great pines on ground which slopes
down to the water. The scenery is ideal
and at the first sunset one feels himself
quite repaid for all the toll, which he has
allowed his burro to execute for him.
The lake, which is about five miles
long and mile wide. lies along the val
ley in an east and west line, and at the
lower or western end is the famous
arched dam. There are now boats to be
had, which the guests Of the hotel-apd
for that matter campers also if they have
cheek enough--enjoy gratis. There is
also sail boat, in which Gus Knight,
who is one of the proprietors of the ho.
tel, an expert rife shot and a capital
good fellow, delights to take everybody
out for ride.
At short distance from Lewis, and at
somewhat greater distance from the
hotel in Bear Valley, there is excellent
fishing. There are in the proper season
quantities of duck on the lake, and in the
woods there is small game Of various
kinds. There is plenty Of deer still to be
found by those who have the energy to
make long tramp. These matters, and
others, will be made the subject of a sub
sequent article in the HERALD.
