BriRands Outwitted.

Fenimore Cooper, in his stories of
hairbreadth escapes from Indians,
never hit upon more extraordi-
merry device for abiding pursuit
than one which was related to Pres
ident Carnot during recent tour
in Corsica. A French traveller, so
the story went, ventured, some years
ago, to pass through mountainous
district of Corsica without escort
or any means of protection, and In
crossing a particularly rough and
craggy region, found himself pur-
sued by band of brigands.
AS the traveller had some money
on his person, and feared that, be-
sides being robbed. he would be
held in captivity for ransom, even
if he were not put to death, ne took
to flight.
Knowing little of the country, ne
soon stumbled upon the border ~
o lake in the mountains. There
was no path around it; it was I'M
possible to swim across it, and the
brigands were behind him, though
he was hidden from them as yet by
the rocks.
Whatever he did must be done in
an instant. Necessity quickened his
wits; he saw at once way out OF
the difficulty, and availed himself
Of it.
He hastily cut with his knife one
of the long, hollow reeds that grew
on the shore Of the lake. Then he
stopped up his ears and nostrils
with wet clay from the margin, took
the reed in his mouth, and waded
out into deep water, where he re-
manned submerged, with upturned
face, just allowing the upper end of
the reed to project above the surface.
On came the brigands, following
the travellers tracks to the waters
edge. But what had become of
him2 Had he flown across Ger
tainly he could not have swan.
There was no other way of escape,
and the surface had by this time
stilled to perfect calm.
The brigands remained waiting
on the shore for some time, but no
sign of the traveller appeared. They
concluded, at last, that he was
sorcerer, who had caused himself
to vanish into thin air.
Then they disappeared, and the
Frenchman, who had been under
water all this time, breathing
through his tube, came out. He
managed to keep under cover and
make his way to Ajaccio; and there
he declared that he had been under
water four hours.
1t is possible that his distress and
alarm may have caused this period
to appear many times longer than
it really was; but i'll confirmation
of the main part of his story, the
Frenchman brought with him a
water-soaked section of hollow
reed.

Wraps Women Will Wear.

One of our city exchanges in an arti.
Gle on the styles of wraps to be worn
by the ladies this winter says: zone
point about which the girls have been
uneasy, but about which they can set
their minds at rest, has to do with fur
capes. The popularity of these little
wraps reached such a high pitch last
winter that many of those who had
invested in fifty and even hundred dol
lar capes feared that this season would
know them no more. To these it will
be joyful news to know that more
capes than ever are shown, and of more
stylish shapes than ever. There are
capes with the last years style of
Queen Anne collars, with the newer
SHAWL collar" revealing the fanciful
vests and basques capes with tight
fitting fronts, trig and dressy capes
with high shoulders and low; seal
capes, Persian lamb capes, Astrakhan
capes, and so on indefinitely. Seal
seems by far the favorite importation.
Jackets are longer than formerly, being
what is known as quarter length.
With their broad lapels and cutaway
shape, with vests inside, they suggest
a kind of modified blazer. 1t is likely
that the summer jackets have had
their influence on the winter wraps.
Braided velvet and cloth sleeves pre-
vail. Camel's hair and cheviots obtain
among street clothes, and Ostrichfeather
trimming, after a retirement of three
or four years, has come to the fore
again, calling itselfa novelty. Van
dyke point trimming has seen its day.
for the present at least, but numero-
other styles have come to takeAn
place. Bands of Astrakhan and feather
trimming come in for ornamenting the
edge of cloth skirts and braided gimps,
passementeries, jeweled garnitures
and fringes are among styles in trim
mings."

A Hay Palace.

At MOmence, ILL.,, the novel inter-
state hay palace opened Wednesday.
The building is 2O9 feet in length
and 166 feet wide in the centre. The
main hall is perfect circle, ,10S feet
in diameter, hanked on the four sides
with wings. A circular gallery, Is
feet wide, sweeps entirely around the
main hall. The walls are built entire
ly of baled hay, with just enough baled
straw to make a pleasant contrast in
shading and color. The primary OBJ
ject of the exposition is to make dis
play of the products of Eastern Illinois
and Western Indiana, which will in
clude products of the farms, forests,
factories, mines, quarries, and of the
arts, domestic skill and accomplish
ments of the people of the district in
music, Oratory and manual training.
A special feature is the display Of
the latest tools in haying machinery
and implements for ditching, laying
and making tile and road machinery.

Stories of the Day.

Hon. Thomas F. Bayard could per-
form the duties devolving upon the
Secretary OfState of the United States
but he could not govern some bad
boys, and the wisdom of Bob. Bur-
dette's remark, that ''anyone can gov
ern the United States, but not every
body can put crying baby to sleep"
was shown the other day when Mr..
Bayard endeavored to drive away
some boys who were stealing his chest
nuts. The boys wanted those chest
nuts and they were not in the least
awed by the fact that the owner had
once heldso high position. Mr.. Bay
ard demonstrated with the boys but
they would not be driven off and were
impudent to him. However, after per-
suasion and threatening and persuas-
ion had been tried, Mr.. Bayard's
daughter came upon the scene and the
boys Immediately Departed Evening

Remedy for Pear Blight.

Farmers find much trouble in rails
ing pears on account of the leaf blight,
which is as dangerous to the pear as
the yellows is to the peach. An ex-
pertinent for its prevention was tried
some time ago in the orchard of DR.. w.
S. Maxwell near Still Pond. At a
meeting of the Still Pond Agricultural
Club this week, Mr.. Maxwell made
the following report 1.-THE ammoni-
cal and Bordeaux mixtures are the
remedies for the leaf blight. Where
they We're applied the trees were near
ly as green as in midsummer, while
the unsprayed trees around are nearly
naked. see no difference between
two mixtures in their good effects, and
think I shall use the ammonical be-
cause it is cheaper. We have sure
shot in these remedies for leaf blight,
and l am indebted to the department
of Agriculture, Professor Galloway and
D. G. Fairchild, for their experiments
in my orchard. One application early
in the season will do if the season is
moderately dry.

P. T. Barnum's Long Life.

There are but few general rules that
can be definitely followed in all cases,
but the one golden watchword of a
long life, which is as safe as it is efica-
Cious, is moderation. Moderation in
all thing P-dIet, exercise and work.
l have been benefited by good hered-
ity, but 1 dOu't credit all my life and
health to it. am a total abstainer
from tobacco, and all spirituous and
intoxicating liquors; and to this fact I
largely attribute my prolonged good
health.
Evil, to my mind, can be the only
result of indulgence in drink, and the
drinking habit. AS ia the use of mar
cotics, so it is with drink. The desire
which impels the use goes on increas-
with age. Drinking, when continued
even to no very large extent, tends to
blunt the sensibilities, and transforms
the one who INDUCES the habit, in
some way not favorable, He will, at
any rate in my opinion lose a few of
his finer perceptions. An habitual
drinker does not only "astonish his
stomach" with water, but, after while
he loses the sweet and natural relish
for it.
But I do not impose either my creed
or my habits on others. 1 simply
describe them for what they may be
worth.
Tea and coffee have always taken,
and continue to take moderately. 1
eat regularly, and do my business
systematically. But my division of
the hours of the day for different tasks
does not lose sight of space for rides,
visits and recreation.

Women in the General Confer
ence.

Last winter the Methodist people
made merry over the discussion, some.
times warm and lively, in which their
Presbyterian brethren engaged. This
fall they have no time for pleasantly
about Calvin. The burning question
before them is, Shall women be admit.
ted to the General Conference? The
Editor of the Christian AdUOcate, DR.. J.
NJ. Buckley, thinks they should not be
admitted. Last week, with commend
able generosity, he issued a supple.
ment to his influential paper filled for
the most part with contributions favor
ing the admission of women. This
week in an able editorial, filling an
entire page of his paper, he answers
the question in the negative in a man
ner that cannot be misunderstood.
The article is entitled Making Void
the law of Cod" and would seem to
be conclusive for those who take the
New Testament passages concerning
the subsection of women as binding for
all time. In stating what the admis.
sion of women to the General Confer
ence will make them, the article says
The admission of women to the Gen.
eral Conference as delegates makes
them at once rulers, for this is the
supreme legislature and judicial body
of the Church. 1t introduces them
into the arena of debate and compels
them then and there to contend with
men for the floor and to dispute with
them. To make her the official head
of the Church does the same. Those
who desire the change know this; this
is what they wish and they deny that
man is entitled, in the family or in the
church, to any such supremacy. There
can be no misunderstanding here."-

A GEORGIA OUTFIT.

You are mistaken if you think a

they were, "a shirt collar and a pair of
spurs": they dress well and drive
handsome teams nearly always, bays

riding mule, fat well proportioned and
glorying in carrying his rider under a
high Mexican saddle comes into town
and attracts general notice, but the
greatest absence notice Is the absence
