after last weeks turmoil The steet corners and
shop windows display fresh blooms to tempt the
crowding buyers, although to look abroad one
would think that the flowers that bloom in the
spring had long since been gathered, and that the
whole world was one vast flower hat. Dainty
tovues OF flowers, tiny rosebuds or forget-menots,
or delicate llacs are much worm but the large hats
are the things most sought after, straw of every
color flower wreathed or in most cases the ever
popular net hat. Common as these are they are
still the most charming thing pretty girl can
wear. The leghorns, immense IN size and covered
with feathers will be much affected for summer
wear. All hat crowns are low, save the English
walking hats that are still much favored, and the
sailors that are high of crown and exceeding mar
row as to brim and with bow on the side, or else
wreathed with maiden hair feln lose leaves, oats,
etc.. still remain the most chic thing in head gear.
But the hats, taken as whole, that are abroad
give the ordinary milliner a large hat and carte
blanche as to flowers, and what startling frenzies
will she not evolve?
Gowns and parasols seem vieng with each other
in point of gorgeousness. Old pink and green of
every shade are fairly pushing themselves into
favor, but the gray gown is still in refreshing
majority Combined with white touched with
pink OR worn in its entirety its every glance speaks
refinement So s'thc silver girl, as gray-gowned
girls are called, reigns just now. A very popular
light wrap is made IN series of capes, the mate
rial being light weight broadcloth or fancy CLOTH
There may be five or three, with velvet collar, green
alternating with white, or brown with mastic or
gray with white are much favored, but for seaside
wear those made of bright red or white broadcloth,
the edges left raw and having collar of black
velvet will be very popular.
Suede low shoes in tan, gray, red or white, with
patent tip, will be greatly worn on the street, of
course in conjunction with an overgaiter that is
an essential part of all fashionable attire both for
men and women. Society had scarcely recovered
from the Centennial ball before it was called upon
to attend the amateur circus that was given Fri
day night down at the country-seat of Mr.. James
Waterbury, and in which many leaders Of fashion
took part. There was grand and lofty tumbling
by famed leaders of the german, there was an
opening quadre on horseback, INDUCED in by
four well-known ladies in white skirts red coats
and black hats, the gentlemen attending in jockey
suits there was bareback riding and trapeze acts,
and four young ladies in Swiss peasant costumes
passed candy and peanuts and programs. After
the circus the three hundred guests were enter
tanned by Mr. Waterbury, and returned to the city
at early morn in the special train provided for
them, and now every one is specializing as to the
cost of the thing and congratulating Mr. Water
bury upon its success, as he originated it and has
stood the expense of everything, the actual cost
being estimated at $50 900. Mr.. Waterbury, it is

iron (B) inches wide and 16 inches long
is put on each side and riveted on solid,
to hitch to. The staple works loosely
through this iron, to admit of hitching
to either side. This staple is made of
inch round iron, 81 inches long. and
inches between the nuts on the ends. A
strip of iron II by inch is slipped over

iron, cut II inches long, the ends drawn
out and turned square edgewise, one end
one way and one the other, as shown in

This makes the staple holes 2x3 inches.
These staples are put in place when build
ing the cart. The end projections COM
ing against the upper and lower scant-
lings of the frame make it impossible to
pull them out. A three-eighth inch bolt
should be put through the scantlings be-
tween the staples and one close to the
axle. Nails or spikes can be used in
other places. The front ends of the side
scantlings should be beveled to an edge,
commencing back about fifteen inches
from the ends. Then put on the runners

as the beveled ends of the scantling.
You can iron these runners with band

Butterflies and Caterpillars.

The white cabbage butterfly may be
seen lowering about cabbage fields on
sunshiny days from May to October. It
was introduced from Europe. and has
now become general over all the states
east of the Mississippi. The eggs are laid
on the under side of the leaves, and in
from five to eight days hatch little
green caterpillar quarter of an inch in
length This young caterpillar begins at
once to eat on the under side of the leaf,
but as it develops it cuts through and
generally takes its place on the upper
side of the leaf, or in and about the head
of the cabbage. where it does the most
mischief When full grown it is about
an inch and quarter in length, and on
account of it's likeness to the color of the
cabbage is somewhat difficult to find. In
the state of New Jersey. says Mr. George
d. Hulst, entOmOlOgist of the New Jersey
station. from whose essay on the subject
much of the information here given is
derived. there are three, and sometimes
four, broods year
The caterpillar of the cabbage butter
fly is easily destroyed if the remedy is
applied in time. Among the ones proper
to be used is hot water from fine spray
nozzle, and of temperature not below
140 or above 100 degrees Also kerosene
emulsion, compounded after the usual
formula and diluted one part emulsion
to nine or even twelve parts of water.
A third remedy, recommended as safe
and thoroughly effective, is pyrethrum,
or Persian insect powder. Of this one
part of the pt WIDER to six or twelve parts
of plaster, OF fifteen to twenty of lime,
should be busted on the plants, and will
kill all the caterpillars touched by it.
The powder may also be diluted with
water, one tablespoonful to six quarts
and applied with a sprinkler. Pyrethrum
and the emulsion are each effective de-
stroyers of plant lice and are recommen-
ded as among the best insecticides for
cabbage insects.
The cabbage plusia differs decidedly
from the cabbage butterfly. It belongs
to the moths and is night flyer, and for
that reason is seldom recognized as the
parent of destructive caterpillar. Su-
perfcially the caterpillar somewhat re-
sembles that of the cabbage butterfly,
but on examination is seen to be quite
different While of nearly the same
color, it is larger and longer, and in
creases in size towards the hinder part.
It has only six pairs of legs instead of
eight pairs 1t, therefore, in crawling

Of Nov. 18th has to say:
"The question of the Atoms max
ing a long lease of the NJ. X. & T. has
been under discussion several months.
and it is believed that the matter is
practically decided upon and is de-
pendent solely upon the success of one
of the reorganization schemes. This
arrangement would let the Alton into
Texas at Denison, Gainesville, Hen-
rietta, Denton, Greenville, Jefferson,
Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Austin and
other important points, and by build
ing rs miles it would reach Houston
and Galveston. 1t would give the

trance to st, Louis and a chance to

Cotton Belt lines, and beyond the
mere advantages of traffic it would
bring to the road the assistance of a
rich company which could, under a
lease, put the track into a condition
where it could successfully compete
with rival lines. These matters have
been under discussion for some time
between the Alton and one of the re-
organization committees of the NJ. X.
& T., and it Is quite probable that the
deal will be carried out substantially
| upon the lines indicated above.n
Should the traffic arrangement spok-
en- of above, be contaminated, which
we have every assurance will be, it will

in the State have ever had. Tt will
