The girl who goes round the house
in soiled skirt and SLOUGH waist,
slipshod and hair tumbled, need not
expect to be the darling of a mans
heart for any length Of time. A cor
set is a necessity to a pillow figured
woman and a blessing to the one who
looks plump without reed. Cottons
and wash fabrics may be brought for
a few cents yard, half dollar will
pay for dress pattern, and the wo-
man who cannot fashion a pilgrim
shirt and sailor blouse in a couple of
days, ought to attend an industrial
school for q week. Two or three
dimes invested in ribbons and colored
cambria will brighten the collar, cuffs
and belt, and the wife, sister or niece
who cannot look fresh, sweet and
pretty in it deserves the neglect she
will get. Men love white gowns, blue
ribbons and fluttering lace. With
muslin dime yard, and pink, blue
cream and crimson ribbon a dollar a
bolt, why can't the fancy be humor-
ed? Brace up, Miss Slattern Take
reef in at the belt line, keep your hair
dressed, your shoes laced, your skirts
pulled back, and let the rose be your
model Of sweetness and simplicity.

The Largest Known Flower.

In the farthest south eastern island
of the Philippine group, Mindanao,
upon one of its mountains, Parag, in
the neighborhood of the highest peak
on the island, the volcano Apo, a par
ty OF botanical and ethnographical
explorers found recently, at the height
of $500 feet above the sea level, a
colossal flower. The discoverer, DR..
Alexander Schadenberg, could scarce
ly believe his eye when he saw, amid
the low-growing bushes, the immense
buds of this flower, like gigantic cab
bage heads. But he was still more
astonished when he found a speci-
men in full bloom, five-petalled
flower nearly yard in diameter-as
large as a carriage wheel, in fact
This enormous blossom was borne on
sort Of vine, creeping on the ground
The native who accompanied Dr.
Schadenberg called it bolo.
The party had no scale by which
the weight of the flower could be as
certained, but they improvised a
swinging scale, using their boxes and
specimens as weights. Weighing
these when opportunity served, it
was found that a single flower
weighed over twenty-five pounds.
1t was impossible to transport the
fresh flower, so the travellers photo.
graphed it, and dried number of it's
leaves by the heat of the fire. DR..
Schadenberg then sent the photo
graphs and dried specim ems to the
Royal Botanical Garden, Breslau,
where the learned director immed-
lately recognized it as species Of
Raffiesia, plant formerly discovered
in Sumatra and named after the En-
glish governor, Sir Stamford Rallies.
The new flower was accordingly
named RafIlesia Schadenbergia.

WICHITA FALLS.
Figuring on the Erection of a Large FIGURING
Mill, Elevator, Ice Factory, Electric
Light, Waterworks.

WICHITA FALLS March 20, 1890.
To the Gazette.
Fort Worth and Eastern capitalists are
figuring on large Touring mill and ele-
vator for this place. Both are needed
and will pay good interest on the invest
ment. We have one mill with capacity
of 100 barrels per day, and there was
wheat enough raised and shipped out of
here last year to have run four such
mills a large elevator is a necessity.
A gentleman who represents Dallas
capitalists is here IN the interest of an
ice factory and electric light plant. He
is meeting with encouragement, and in
forms me that there is no doubt that
his company will furnish both ice and
light for the ''Falls'' people this season.
Waterworks are also being talked of,
and Kansas City capitalists are here with
the view of supplying the city with water.
Work on the Wichita Valley line is
being pushed and the force is increasing
daily. The material for construction is
beginning to roll in. About fifteen miles
is graded.
The latest rumor in railroad circles is
that the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
will either build to this point from Hen
rietta or arrange with the Denver folks
to run over their track.
Very encouraging news has been re-
ceived from the Rock Island officials.
People still continue TO buy the earth
in and around the "Falls, - and those
who buy show their faith in the place by
erecting buildings as fast as they can get
the material to build with.
Manager Meek spent the evening here
en- route to Denver from the South. He
is much pleased with the business done
here, and well he may be. for S35, 900
was the receipts for this station last
month, and 1t will reach $40, 900 this
month. This is quite an improvement
over $4,000 a month in the days of 'flong-
hoTns.'' 1t takes the ''man with the
hoe'' and printers ink to develope a
country, and the management of the
Fort Worth and Denver have secured the
former by using the latter, and have
good reason to be prodd of their success.
Mr.. Hickey, our postmaster, says:
elf the business done at the pOstoffice is
any indication of the growth and pros
perity of the town and county we are
certainly and surely in the swim. His
three months supply of postage is usually
sold in from thirty to forty days and he is
compelled to draw on the neighboring
towns to supply the demand.

carry on their operations free from inter-
ference by either governments
Mr.. Harris-I should like TO ask the
senator from Texas, before proceeding
further with this matter, If this bill con-
templates authorizing the president to
negotiate with the republic Of Mexico for
authority for a private enterprise to con-
struct a dam to store water for the pur-
nose of irrigation, or does it contemplate
that the two governments or either OF
them shall construct such dam?
Mr.. Reagan-In answer to the question
of the senator from Tennessee I will state
that the language Of the bill was framed
expressly so as to cover either contin-
gency, as the senator will see, and that
while it is a matter of interest to private
persons, it is great national prob
lem which this government is I'M
der obligation to Its own citizens
and to the citizens of Mexico to ask the
settlement of, as l stated, outside of
the city of Juarez, and independent of
that there are % 900 people deprived of
their supply of water who have lived
there in the city that has been in exist
ence for more than one hundred years.
Our committee or irrigation last summer
were invited by the authorities of Mexico
to pass through that city to see grape
vines and fruit trees dying for want of
water, and we were informed that one
fourth of the population had already
been compelled TO leave, and now they
feel that it is a grievance that the peo-
pie of the United States higher up, the
Rio Grande have taken from them their
supply of water, and they feel that while
they may not legally have the right to
claim q restoration of their water priv
ileges, good neighborhood and fairness
between government and government
makes it apparent that the United
States government should take such steps
in connection with the Mexican govern
ment as to relieve them; to relieve them
by building a dam in @ narrow gulch just
above FL Paso, storing the eroslonal flow
of water. so as to be able to supply
water to both sides of that great valley
and at the same time so regulate the flow
as to prevent any further changes of the
channel of the river, with the power TO
the president to agree to commission
that shall fix where the real boundary
between the two countries is.

New Mexico Experiencing a Healthy
Revival in Railroad Matters,
An Important Railroad Decision by Judge
"a dwell o. he I. S Court-RalIroad
'c'emrs in kentucky.

New Mcxica appears to be on the verge
Of a railroad boom, as the indications
are that the railroad mileage of that ter
ritory viii be increased considerably this
year. a number of projects are in hand,
and If they are not carried out this year
they certainly will be in the near future.
A special telegram from Santa Fe says
that at the present time active work is in
progress on FIVE different railroad pro-
jects in the territory, and this work is of
such nature as to make it reasonably
certain that these lines win all be
completed during the present year
They comprise the line designated
TO begin at some point north
q Albuquerque and connect the
Rio Grande Valley with Durango,
Col, and covering a distance of about
100 miles; the Pecos Valley railroad,
reaching from Roswell via Eddy to the
Texas and Pacific road, lS5 miles; the
Fort Worth, Union Pacific extension,
from Trinidad through the Maxwell land
grant, toward Las Vegas or Taos valley;
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe eX-
tension, from Ortez Station to San Pc
dro, aud the Santa Fe Southern Narrow
Gauge, from Santa Fe via Cerillos 10 San
Pedro. These enterprises, if carried
out, will increase the railway mileage
about $50 miles. They cover sections of
the territory that are in great need of
railway facilities, and there are business
reasons why they should be built.

In the United States circuit court at
Little Rock, Thursday, Judge Caldwell
rendered decision in the oase of Thomas
W. Bard VS.. st. Louis. Iron Mountain
and Southern railway company which is
Of considerable Importance to railroads
and shippers.
The facts in the case were about these:
Certain owners of machinery in New Or
leans shipped lot of their goods TO plain
tifT at Little Rock. The owners at New
Orleans inserted in the bill. of lading a
certain weight which, without being YER
fled by the receiving company, was
signed by the agent there. On arrival of
the goods at Little Rock Mr..
Baird, the plaintiff. presented
his bill of lading and demanded
ms goods. The railway com pauy's
agent, weighed the goods in the presence
Of plaIutiT, foun the weight 10 be $500
pounds greater than the amount specified
IN the bill Of lading. Under the inter-
stale commerce act the railway agent de-
handed freight at the rate specified in

Plaintiff refused to pay according to the
true weight, but brought the action of

case 10 the Federal court, stating as
defence that the state law was in viola
Ton Of the interstate commerce act. The
