In answer TO a House resolution Secretary
Noble yesterday sent to Congress the report OF
the committee appointed in July last 10 lnves-
tigate the action of the Pension Office in the
rcrating of pensions. A list Of cases number
ing 3.l22, rerated in the two years from March
J. lsSS, is also transmitted. OF these cases
LIS were rerated under Commissioner Black
and 1887 under Commissioner Tanner
The Secretary says that upon full considera-
ton of the matter the conclusion was reached
that. under the circumstances relating 70 the
financial ability and responsibility Of a num-
Der of the benefclaries. II would be impracti-
cable to recover. by litigation or otherwise

The Secretary gives a list Of rersted en-
ployes who have been dismissed from the bn-
reau and of those who resigned in compliance
with requests based upon considerations grow
ing out of the illegal reraiing OF their PEN
slons. Ii is proper TO say, says the Secretary
that in some OF the cases of rerating the bene-
ficlarles themselves were not so directly en-
gagged In the matter as were others in their be-
nall. Owing TO these and other e1tenusting
circumstances the facts ascertalned did not
seem 10 justify the dismissal of all who were
rerated nor any hasty action upon the question
OF their continuance ia office. The cases of
some are Vet held under consideration by the

Pretty Maud Harrison.

One of the prettiest gowns seen on the
street this season is a Felix, worn by
Maud Harrison. This dainty little wo-
man, with her flower like face, her ex-
quisite complexion and bright, bird like
eyes, is prettier off the stage than on it,
and this smart, suede hued, first empire
gown, made in sort of pelisse and en-
broidered with leather, harmonizes with
the browns of her hair and eyes. Her
house frocks are all seamless in the waist,
giving her ample room in which to prac-
tice upon her beloved piano, banjo and
mandolin, for Miss Harrison is devoted
to these three instruments.
| saw her in one of these unique gowns
the other day, and marveled that other
slender women do not adopt such sensi-
bic and comfortable styles. 1t was
cadet blue stuff, a plain plated skirt,
with the usual seamless waist, the gilet
dropping loosely from each shoulder and
disclosing a vest of Irish point. A band
of velvet bound the slender waist with
big rosette in the back. Miss Harrison
lives with her mother in one of those de-
ightful old fashioned. low ceilinged
houses on West Twenty-third street.

CROSS SECTIONS OF BURROWS.


inay render it more compact by pressing
it together like mortar, and may harden
it instead of rendering it looser and
lighter, as intended Or, the subsoiling
may be incomplete and inefficient by the
narrow furrow which it makes. The
common pillow which precedes it cuts a
furIow a foot wide, and the subsoil pillow,
as often constructed, hardly six inches;
and the result is that the subsoil is only
broken into interrupted burrows with the
hard, unbroken earth between them, as
where the upper and dotted portion is the
mellow or broken soil, and the darker
part below the unbroben earth.
A remedy for this defective work is to
cut the common pillow burrows only half
a foot wide, which will break up all the
hard ridges and reduce the whole bed of
mellow soil to state of fine pulveriza-
ton. Care should be taken to pulverize
perfectly the portion of the earth which
the subsoil pillow lifts and breaks up, and
not merely to make it a line of clOdS,
which would afford little or no aid to
the plants with their long extending
roots. Fig. in the same cut represents
n cross section of the previous furrow of
the common pillow, with the mass of
broken earth in its bottom, which has
been lifted in subsoiling, and before the
next furrow slice has been thrown upon
it, This figure shows also the coarse and
cloddy nature of this loosened subsoil
when the work has been inefficiently per-
formed or at the wrong time. With all
these chances for subsoiling to be super
ficially or badly done. it is not surprising
that SO many farmers have found it of
little or no benefit

Two Pretty bridesmaid Dresses.

Among the lightest and ARREST gowns
for bridesmaids seen lately was one with
a buttercup yellow silk petticoat, whose
accordion plated outside skirt was of
gray green silk tulle. The bodice is also
of yellow, covered with the green. Long
yellow tan gloves are to be worn, but the
suede shoes are of green the shade of the
tulle; the stockings of open work yellow
silk. \ wide hat with quantity bent
brim is trimmed with buttercups, and
the bouquet to be carried with this ex-
quisite gown is of buttercups and ferns
tied with a multitude of long narrow
green ribbons.
Another pretty bridesmaids dress of
this sort has a petticoat and bodice of
scarlet. On the edge of the petticoat is
seta fulling of the palest pink mousseline
de sole, and many full breadths of the
same sewed to its upper skirt. These
breadths are longer than the silk skirt be-
meath, and when fastened to the belt fall
around the edge of the skirt in sort of
puff. The bodice has the silk muslin
laid across, back and front, in surplice
fashion, and an immensely wide sash of
the same extends from the waist up under
the bust, and is brought around to the
front again, and tied there in two long

Every American woman who sojourns
in London raises her voice against the
large and ill fitting shoes which she finds
here. The natives seek to justify the
monstrosities on the plea that the feet
should be clad loosely and stoutly. The
truth, however, is that English women
have big feet-abnOrmally big feet.
Moreover, marvelously low insteps seem
to be a characteristic of the typical Eng
fish feet. The English women are ex-
ceedingly sensitive upon the subject of
their prodigious pedals, and they make
it a point to talk of the propriety of wear
ing large boots and shoes in order to
avert cOrns and other similar discomft-
ures; yet l am told by dealers in foot
wear that corus and buniors are quite as
prevalent here as elsewhere. Yet there
have been English ladies with wonder
fully small feet. One of the famous
beauties of the court of George " wore
a shoe only five inches in length, yet she
was above medium height and was
otherwise symmetrically proportioned.-
