Soil, climate and nursery stock, all are here in perfection and all that is needed is an intelligent knowl- edge of the care and cultivation of orchards and vineyards and of the proper methods for packing and market ing their products.

END oE a LONG TRIAL

The suit of Morris ID. Cutler against
William r. Babcock, which was pending
in the courts of Waukesha county for
about twenty years, was decided Dec.
% by Judge Noycs in favor of plaintiff,
he holding that plaintiff at the time of
the commencement Of the action was
the owner of the real estate claimed by
defendant in accordance with the terms
of an alleged land contract. The liti-
giants are old settlers of Waukesha,
where also the land in dispute is located.
The origin of the dispute dates back
to the time when Waukesha was lone
some village and when land had no
value. Plaintiff was owner of large
portion OF the tract on which Waukesha
was built since. Defendant made his
home ON the parcel, of which he is de-
privea by this decision, more than
twenty years ago and the law of linn
itation was cited in support of the claim
that il was his homestead.

The JASPER INDUSTRY.

Within two years the jasper industry
has been developed, and there are now
four quarries, employing nearly 1000
men, in operation about Sioux Fails.
The market extends from Chicago to
Kansas City. Sioux Falls streets are
paved with jasper, and her four story
buildings are constructed of it. The
stone is susceptible of high degree of
polish, and when finished looks much
like the red granite of Missouri. The
pioneer in the jasper industry discovered
not long ago that the dust of jasper,
which is half as hard as diamonds,
would polish the famous petrified wood
of Arizona, and make OF it table tops
and ornaments more beautiful than
agate or onyx. The petritied wood is
now brought from Arizona to Sioux
Falls by the car load, and polished in a
variety of forms. TO the jasper indus
try the city has added the manufacture
of cLalcedony. There is scientific
mystery about this so called jasper
Practically it is all right. Its utility
has been established, but geologically
there is no little uncertainty about it,
Those who know the most are the least
positive in discussing its character.
Some Of the scientific men who have
looked At it call it red quartzite. Pro-
fessor Winchel says it is the hardest
stone in the United States that has been
used for building purposes. The grain
is very close. The only element to
which it succumbs is fire. 1t will stand
q good degree, but crumbles like sand
stone or limestone under too intense
heat. New York Telegram.

THE LADIES HOME JOURNAL

'fhe new year is welcomed in by The
LadieS' Home Journal, of Philadelphia,
with an actual circulation of over $780,
600 copies monthly. Where the close
of 1890 will find this wonderful maya
zine, if the brilliant January number is
any criterion of what the other issues
will be. There are several salient fea-
lures of the January which gives it a
special interest. Rev. T. Dewitt Tai
mage begins his work as one of the
editors and opens his new departmet
Under My Study Lamp in manner
that is destined to make it one of the
most popular and widely read pages in
the magazine literature of to-day. The
portraits drawn of his early home and
training, his mothers death, and n CO.
lestial dream while lyng one evening
upon his lounge are word pictures of
singular beauty and striking power.
The ascension of the new editor in
chief, Mr. Edward W. Box, is also
formally announced. ''Side Talks With
Girls is well conceived new feature
of confidential talks with young woman,
giving bright little hints on the very
subjects girls enjoy reading about. Mrs.
A. d. i. Whitney, Maud Howe and
Katherine b. Foot supply the fiction
with the best chapters of their novels
yet printed. Amelia Bloomer, of the
''Bloouner Costume fame, has an in
tercsting letter on the costume which
bears her name. Mrs. General Custer
tells what she would do "If | Were a
Man." while Lee e. Hardy, Margaret
Sangster and Eben +. Rexford, supply
the poetry. Closing with the II lie
partments for woman's daily life which
this magazine sustains, the number is
in every respect an excellent one, and
shows what tie publishers offer for the
ridiculously low price of One Dollar a
year. Published at 1895 Arch Street,

LIGHTNING BALL Fos a PILLOW

Here is n good story about Bishop:
indeed, it would be good story even
about Dean. Bishop was homeward
bound from the States, travelling luxur-
louslY in n double cabin with Mrs.
Bishop. 1t was very hot night,
thunder in the air, and as the Atlantic
liner slipped through the water, doing
her eighteen or nineteen knots an hour.
the cabin would be lit up with the
lightning flashes. Mrs. Bishop could
not sleep for the heat. Bishop, appealed
to, numbered out of his berth and opened
a portholer. Suddenly there bobbed in
through the portfolio a wooden ball
attached 10 string. Bishop was per.
picked, but he tied it up, coiling the
string by neil in the wall, and then
retired to rest The ball was an apple
of discord in that peaceful cabin. for ii
hit against the side Of the vessel as she
lurched, and Mrs Bishop grew queru-
lous and disturbed. Up started the
poor Bishop again, and, to end matters,
he uncoiled the cord, and put the bali
safe aud sound under his pillow. There
was a heavy thunderstorm, but the
Bishop slept soundly that night. Next
morning al breakfast, the captain pre-
siding. he told the tale with q good deal
OF Episcopal solemnity and detail. The
captain laughed consumedly. Bishop
lsughed too, thinking his story good
one Then the captain told him that
the bail was the end of The lightning
conductor. Bishop that night looked
under his pillow before going to bed.
and slept with closed portfolio.

The Cronin trial lasted for fifteen

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
The Furore for Plaids -Rcdingotes In va

The Furore for Plaids -Rcdingotes In va
rIous New Forms.
There is quite a furore for pIaids in
velvet, in silk and wool mixtures, and
in pure silk alone. The shops display
them in many forms. 1t is decided
novelty, however, to see Tartan cloak,
though plaided garments of some de-
scription have not been altogether out
of fashion in many years These cloal1s
are not confined to one shape, but the
greatest number are made with triple
capes and coat sleeves. The loose cloak
is plated into the waist behind, beneath
a pointed hood The shirred cloak is
mounted on rounding yoke Of velvet
matched to one of the eolors in the
plaid, with band of the same material
down the front. The Tartan dresses
differ from the cloaks, inasmuch as they
are mostly made on the cross of the
fabric Sometimes both bodice and
skirt are 50 arranged that the plaids run
diagOnally; on others, the front of the
bodice, sleeves and skirt are bias Of the
goods, but the back portions of the
waist, and the back breadths of the skirt
are straight. Once it would have been
deemed impossible to make pretty
corsage of broad plat, and even now,
improved as it is by means of it's cut, a
plain bodice joined to plaided skirts
better suits fine taste.
The redingote in varied forms, and
with many French and Russian titles,
bids fair TO be the dominant style of the
winter. Cut and fashioned in a variety
of ways, il is adapted alike to dinner,
five-o'clock teas, the boudoir, to recep-
tions, visiting toilets, elaborate evening
dress and to the promenade. There is
seldom an article of dress that has been
found SO capable of infinite variety and
universal adaptation and utilization. In
every case, however, it represents a
garment straight and stately in effect
that opens on an underskirt that is diff
ferent, but not so sharply contrasted as
to be out OF harmony with it. For street
uses the most elegant redingotes are of
plain fabric, the skirt plain, with fur
border or one of embroidery, or striped,
plaided, or figured For evening toilets,
the fabrics are very generally reversed,
and accordion-plaited crepe de Chine,
armure silk, satin and other unpatterned
materials form the petticoat, while the
redingote is of Pompadour silk, satin
brocade, Venetian broche or figured
Bengaline. Textiles of the most mag
nifcent description are used for skirts
and redingotes for grand dinners, we'd
ding receptions, balls and tea-gOWns. -
