tho left side OF tho road, sottlng back a
short distance, was rather fine-look-

ponred to me very vividly. l dreamed
that some piclets were scattered and
that in tho early morning Whecler's
Cavalry appeared in sight and began to
lay down the fence, and moved toward
our men to attack them. At the same
time / saw n regiment OF our cavalry
approach from the other side OF the

/ followed the road TO where it crossed
the ridge, and came in sight OF farm
house, with green shutters and rows of
evergreen trees in front. Where our
piciets should have been stationed they
were gone. at once re-established the
picket line farther out advancing the
line until il occupied the ridge, and
placed in charge Captain Billings, who
now lives at Hillsboro, instructing him
under no circumstances TO leave with
out orders. returned to the camp,

When tho old picket line was reached
the command to order arms, fix bay

just at that instant a lively skirm-
ish fire on the new picket line
began. / sent word to Colonel Long,
across the river, that we had been at

toward the place where the skirmish
was taking place. When we got to tho

move, ! sent orders to take our wagon

ment's delay, in order that the supplies

tunes, either In combination with silk,
or made up in some Of the apparently
simple styles now so much in vogue.
The finer qualities OF choviot, in
bordored goods and Persian patterns,
are selected for street wear in medium
and light shades of gray and brown,
and in all tho dullod, dark shades OF
positive colors, which are enlivened by
combinations of silk or surah in vivid
colors or brilliant plaids.
Black woolens for summer wear are

striped effects in silk and all-wool, in

very handsome piece has broad band

the fabric. Black brilliantines in light
qualities are very much liked for the
accordion-plaited skirts which are the
rage, and keep their folds better, per-
haps, than any other material.
Veilings, in white. cream and black,

more brilliant, decided tints which still
retain measure of popularity and will
probably survive the taste for the old

in colored designs copied from the
brocaded Empire silks, are extremely
pretty for afternoon dresses, and their
variety, both in pattern and price, is
apparently endless. The figured, bro

variety, and some of the latter are as
beautiful in their designs and lustrous

WHAT "LIsTlNe" MEANS.

A Method of Corn Planting Very Popular
In tho Western states.
Doubtless many, If not most, farm
ers in the State, have no definite idea
OF what is meant by the method of
planting corn called listing. 1t is a
method by which the plowing or stir
ring" OF the stubb.e. or even OF last
years corn ground. and tho planting
can lie combined in one operation with
out any other preparation of the seed
bed. 1t is much practiced in the west
central part of the Mississippi Valley,
where the soil is inclined to be open,
and where droughts are the rule rather
than the exception. In some counties
in Kansas, for instance, the methods
common elsewhere are seldom used,
and most of the corn in that entire State
is listed. During the two or three
years past, manufacturers have begun
to introduce listers into the Northwest,
hence our interest in trying the meth
cd here. A lister is stirring plow
with two mould boards, one throwing
to the right, the other to the left. Each

lister is run through the stubble or corn
field. guided by stakes or other marks,
making a furrow or dead furrow" for
the corn with ridge, or "back fur
rows between these. Some pass over
with the listing plow, and afterwards
follow in the middle OF the burrows
with one-horse corn drill. The more
approved way, however. is to use the
combined implement, which is listing
plow carrying drill attachment, ope-
rated by wheel running behind in the
furrow. The corn is dropped an inch
or more beneath the bottom OF the fur
row by means OF mole or shoe-like
follower. The corn is usually har-
rowed once or twice with a smoothing
harrow, run lengthwise with the fur
rows and afterwards cultivated two to
four times. In each operation part OF
the ridge is worked back into the fur
row, leaving the land about level the
last time though and at the same time
billing around the corn. Bulletin Of

HOW General Carnahan Claims to Have

II the question is direct General Car

dreams. He admits that they are
sometimes very strange, and he says
that he has himself had some very re-
markable experiences in dreaming.
He has. while asleep, loreseen import
ant events in his life; still he does not
regard dreams as in any way signifi-
cant. and can not say that he has any
faith in them. A conversation with

Poor Sight.
AS the sun slid down the western
slope of the horizon last evening he
blushed rosy red for the mischief he
had been doing. His rays had brought
premature near-sightedness or other
ocular trouble to hundreds of babies.
The nurse girl and baby coach circu-
lated through every part OF the city,
and the sun was ever with them. The
youngsters reclining on their pillows
could do nothing else than gaze sky
ward. They squinted horribly, or
scowled furiously, or even wept copi-
ously. but the wanton sun god still per-
sisted in aiming his shafts directly
at their innocent, upturned orbs, and
their guardians seemed all oblivious OF
their happiness. Some of them dropped
their tired eyelids upon their eyes, and
thus avoided the impudent SUMS glar-
ing stare; but most of them stared back
at the big flaming ball unremittingly.

In the early days OF the direct tea trade
with CHINA, importers were ANXIOUS to So
cure tho earliest cnrgoes of now crop.
The fastest clipper ships were engaged in
the trade. Great haste in loading them was
followed by hot race to reach New York
| first.
The first cargo brought tho best price and
large profits. Tho successful Captain was
always rewarded, so every known aid TO
navigation was adopted.
The young captain of one of Mr.. Astor's
clippers bought, on one Of his trips, q new
chronometer, and with its aid made quick
passage, and arrived first. He put the
price of 1t into tho expense account of the
trip, but Mr.. Astor throw 1t out, insisting
that such an item Of expense for new
tangled notions could not be allowed.
The Captain thereupon resigned and took
service with a rival line.
The next year he reached port long In ad-
vance Of any competitor, to tho great de-
light and profit of his employers, and the
chagrin of Mr.. Astor.
Not long after they Glanced to meet, and
Mr. Astor inquired:
"By the way, Captain, how much did that
chronometer cost youi"
"Six hundred dollars" then, with quiz

"And how much has 1t cost you, Mr.. As
