OF evening dress for men. One unvarying
rule applies for all seasons and all times
No gentlemen should ever wear anything at
all conspicuous. Let the dudes ponder over
this rule and improve by it.
Tho dress suit is slightly changed. The
trousers are ii little wider. The coats show
some slight differences in the shapcs of the
lapels. Diagonals OF finest twill are much
used for younger men and silk facings are
still socn upon tho coats.
Despite all the varying styles no man need
make any mistakes in evening dress. Ifa

sashes and black silk handkerchiefs, continue
to sheer at the fossils with satin neckties and
lengthy watch chains, while passing visitors
will take notes on both classes and then turr
and rend Chicago with unjust satires upon its
social aspects.
But let every man, young or old, withoal
any regard to the color of his handkcrchie
or the texture of his necktie, remember his

The Wood Lot.

Every farm, however small, should, if pos
sible, have its wood lot. Besides the supply
of summer fuel, it is very convenient if one
needs a post or a few rails for repairs to go
there and select them. In cutting out trees
reference should be had to the welfare OF
those that are left. 1t is well to go to the lot
with q cart and pick up the chips and take
them to the wood shed; when seasoned they
will be found most useful. Tho tops cut
from the trees that have been felled should
not be left to litter the ground. Some of tho
large branches may be sawed and split to add
to the wood pile. The spray may be cut into
suitable lengths for pea brush. These may
be neatly stacked on u bare spot, the butts all
one way, and the stack weighted with some
heavy timbers to flatten the brush SO that it
may dry in u fan-shape; thus it will go much
further in use, and look much neater than if
allowed to dry without this precaution. Cut
out all tho underground, and add TO the
stock of pea brush, saving the useful or or
namental shrubs, such as Towering dog
wood s~yiburnums ,,etc. ,as well as young trees
that are TO grow up to replace those that arc
felled. II there is excess of these, cut out
the surplus but leave the hard wood trees to
grow. Maple and hickory trees are worth
ar more to the farmer than sassalras, bass
wood or other soft wood kinds.-American

The weakest board ,r rail determines the
strength of the fence.
Lane in q square can be inclosed with less
force than an equal area in any other form
bounded by straight lines.
The animals will certainly find the weak

The width of the fence row is a large item
in the cost of fencing; even more important
is what the fence row grows.
Crops would suffer less from many n nox-
ious insect or animal and its progeny, We're
it not for the shelter OF the hedge, or of the
rubbish in the fence row.
As the posts are tho foundation Of the
fence, unless they are deeply and solidly set,
good material and fine workmanship in the
superstrueture count for little.
Where the law is FUNDED ON the good sense
to require II man to restrain only his own
animals, instead of all the worlds from his
fields, much less fencing is required.
As fencing is one of the most considerable
items of the farm expense, it is fruitful
economy to make the fields of that size and
shape which will require least fencing.
AS the length of the field is increased at the
expense of its breadth, moro fence is re-
quired; but for this there may be compensa-
ton in the greater ease of CULTIVATION

THE VALUE OF WATER.

Charles W. Green, in Chicago Times.
Water is as essential to human life as
food; fortunately il is found almost ev-
erywhere that it is needed, but not al
ways plentiful. 1t is also essential to
plant growth, and it is in that connec-
ton which propose to consider it, tax
ing into account its money value when
SO utilized.
Major Powell recently stated to con-
gressional committee that the ordinary
farm lands Of the country would be en-
HANGED in value fully three times if they
could be irrigated so as to insure certain
ty of crop production and could derive
the fertilizing benefits of irrigating
water. In Utah, where the Mormons
have done so much to demonstrate the
value of water when applied to arid
lands, they have prospered exceedingly
from expanding an average of SO per
acre to secure water for irrigating.
We all know of the wonderful pros
perity which has attended the develop
ment and employment of water in
southern California, where lands that
are worthless without have become SO
valuable as to command hundreds of
dollars per acre. The increase
NAV be credited to the COM
mercial value of water-and sunshine
Not merely tens, but hundreds of dol
lars per acre have been proftably ex-
pended in that state. Companies and
individuals are becoming wealthy with a
rapidity that is most surprising from the
conversion Of water into a commercial
commodity.
The established price over quite large
area of California is $1,000 for miner S
inch of water, or 500 per acre; sales
have been made for twice that amount
in some localities where water is Dlenti-
full the price is lower. But it is found 10
pay at that price and to justify the ex-
penditure. OF course 1t must be taken
into account that it is in a climate where
high-priced fruits can be produced. fruits
that can be shipped to all the eastern
markets, and which will be shipped TO
Europe as soon as the production Is suf-
ficient to furnish a supply for foreign
markets 1t will not justify such an
outlay to cultivate only the ordinary
farm crops.
But it will Justify an outlay Of $40 or
S15, or where the market is convenient
as much as So per acre for the cultiva-
ton of grain and grass crops. For in
stance, a good wheat crop IN any Of the
central western states is % bushels 10
the acre. A proportionately good crop,
saw in southern New Mexico would be
80 bushels to the acre under irrigation,

It is noticeable that the Kansas press
excepting the Wichita EAGLE, is for Chi
cago in the world fair controversy.-Ex-
change.
The circumstance mentioned is, in
deed, noticeable. And it is likewise in
applicable why the press of the state
should follow the lead of Kansas City in
the matter when its object, OF prompting
was SO patent that no one could fail to
see it. 1t remains to be seen what the
Kansas press will do In that connection,
now that Kansas City has withdrawn its
support from Chicago. AS for the
EAGLES position on the subject, it may
be well to remark that this is not the
first time it has stood for the states best
interests not only singly and alone, but
had to combat the balance of the state
press in it's endeavors in that behalf, two
notable instances being the beef inspec-
ton bill before the last legislature, and
the freight rate determinations by the
railroads, in both of which cases the
EAGLE was endorsed by the final out
come. For the information of our e. c..
ct al, we observe in conclusion that the
secret Of the EAGLES success in these
matters lies in its discernment of and
courage to declare for the right.

The president adheres, with here and
there an exception, to his announced
policy of appointing persons to office
from the state or territory in which the
appointee is to serve, but ne is not al
ways happy in his selections for the
best interests of the party, which is
naturally considered next in importance
to the efficiency of the service. A not
ably exceptional case is the appointment
of Ex-Governor Warmoth, of louisiana,
to be collector for the port of New Or
leans. As to his efficiency for the dis
charge Of the responsible duties of the
position there is no question, but he is
objectional to many good and true Re-

sequently his appointment will not

POSTAL TELEGRAPH IN REALITY.

From the Financier
The time is drawing near for the post
Office department to be connected with
DIR. Norvin Green and Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaker have had5a conference
and agreed upon a plan that viii de-
crease the cost of Geographic dispatches
and increase the revenues of the West
ern Union telegraph company. We
may not be able to see so many tele-
graph messengers on the streets; but
more letter carriers-more men and less
boys. Men whose positions depend upon
their quickness and reliability. Men
that have a postoffice inspector contin-
ually on their track and they known it
is necessary for them to be punctual in
the delivery in order to retain their
place. Two years ago mail carrier on
Broad street, between Wall and Beaver,
stopped at lunch counter to buy a
piece of pie; the inspector saw him. To-
day he occupies position of a guard
on the elevated road; from a salary
of 81 900 per year to S1.25 per day is but
short step, but it shows discipline, and
warns others not to delay the delivery of
the United States mail. Telegraph mes
sengers, on the other hand, go when
they please, take as long as they please,
and, in fact, de everything about as they
please.
If message comes to your Office at
night after you have gone home, you
will receive it the next day marked mot
deliverable, place closed" whereas if the
postotfice department handles this bust
ness they will deliver the message at
your house the same night. There is no
doubt but that the telegraph Service can
be cheapened, and its value to commerce
increased by its connection and acting
in concert with the postoffice depart
ment.
Who'll be benefited? First, the
public; second, the government, and
last, but not least, the stockholders of
the Western Union Telegraph company.

ABOLISH OUR INTERNAL RkvENUE.

From the Manufacturer.
The receipts of the United States last
year were 1888. 600, 900, of which $685.
600, 600 We're from customs duties. This
would leave S163, 900, 900 as derived from
internal revenues. The expenditures of
the government were $3.50, 900, 900, or
sos, 200, 900 more than what was derived
from customs duties. In other words,
all the income derived from customs du-
ties was required for the expenditures Of
the government and sos, O00, 900 besides.
The receipts from internal revenue are
derived chiehyfrom taxes upon whisky
and tobacco, and ii Is clearly to be seen
that if this latter tax We're removed, or
reduced to the extent Of S105, 900, 900,
the receipts and the expenditures
of the government would be equal
lied. 1t should be understood that
while the United States government
imposes taxes upon whisky and
tobacco, it does not license the manu-
facture or sale of them, for it does not
have the power under the constitution TO
do so. But the states have this power,
and some of them use 1t, and the fed
eral government can raise no objection
to any action the states might take look
ing to the prohibition or regulation of
these trades within their borders. In
ternai revenue laws never were and
never will be popular in the United
States, and when any material reduction
of the receipts at the treasury is made,
it will be effected by removing or modi-
flying the internal revenue taxes, not by
abandoning the protective feature Of the
tariff laws.
