The Kind Of Settlers Wanted in
WASHINGTON.

The class of settlers we most need in our
new state of Washington, is such as will
come Ia make permanent homes for them
selves and their families. We want such
as will bring with them sufficient means,
energy and capacity TO enter upon business
for themselves: such as viii obtain land
and become practical and prosperous farm
ers, or erect shops ana factories and follow
some mechanical or manufacturing occE-
patton. In order 20 induce them hither,
we must offer them opportunities for max
ing better homes, and TO facilitate business
enterprises of all kinds. All this we intend
10 do. We have already lands in every
portion OF the state for sale ON easy terms,
and viii be glad 70 forward detailed infor-
nation, free of expense, TO those who de-
sire the same. WASHINGTON EMMI-

DowDy WOMEN OF BOSTON.
Too Strong Minded and .Esthetic to
Wear Clothes Gracefully.

Too Strong Minded and .Esthetic to
Wear Clothes Gracefully.
1t is feared that Boston women can
never claim the title of being well
dressed, says the Boston Herald Do
what the few may to aspire to that
favorite verdict, there is always the or
dinary uncorseted, hygienic majority to
counteract it. 1t would be laughable
were ii not pathetic to note the short
comings in this one direction of the
average Boston woman. She has as
much opportunity, as many means of
dressing we'll as women elsewhere, but
she invariably fails in producing the
effect which strikes the observer in New
York.
Regard the throngs of women who
daily pass up and down Boylston street,
for instance, and point out ten, if you
can, who become their clothes or who
carry themselves with grace and ele
gance. Nearly all have been to fash
ionable tailors, who have done what
lay within their power to give chtc, air.
style; but the Boston woman is stub
born. She will not permit her precon-
ceived notions to be displaced by the
newest fashions; she will not wear Il
corset; she will wear hygienic waist,
if she wants to; she won't wear her hair
except so and she will kick up her
skirts at the back because her gymna-
stun teacher tells her to bring all the
muscles into play when she walks.
Besides this, she is in haste. How
can she take life easily and gracefully
when sixty different calls are being
made on her time and brain all at once?
The art of wearing her clothes well is
unknown to her, She puts them on.
She does not make her toilet. She
wouldn't be guilty of 'prinking." nor
of being sure her boots were well
blacked; nor would this usual Boston
woman consider it worth her while to
take hand mirror to see if the angle
of her virtuous bonnet corresponded
with the angles of her profile and her
back hair. 1t is these little omissions,
this forgetfulness of detail which rem.
ders two-thirds of Boston's women
dowdy-in the eyes of appreciatiyc.
though critical, observers.

The Vintage in Italy.

The official returns, as published in
the Boiletino dj Noti:ie 1g,ujie, of the
Italian vintage last year give the total
yield as being only 4i5, ,629. $50 gallons,
or not quite 5S per cent. of the average
yield for the previous ten years. The
decrease was greatest in the northern
provinces of Italy, the quantity of wine
made in Venetia, Lombardy, Piedmont,
LiGuria and Tuscany being only %. 26,
32, 30 and 40 per cent of the average.
But in Sicily, where a third of the
Italian wine was made last year, the de-
crease was barely 10 per cent, but the
Southern Adriatic and Mediterranean
districts did not make half as much
wine as usual. The area of land
planted in vines was estimated at rather
under 5000, 900 acres seventeen years
ago, but the total had increased to
1888, 232 acres five years ago, while in
the interval the Government had con
tributed in no small degree to the
progress of vlticulture in Italy by found
ing five special schools and eXpending

AN AuTHoRs AUTOGRAPH.

Arlo Bates Tells How He was Fooled
and His Sensitive Soul Shocked.
The suggestion, writes Arlo Bates in
the February Book Buyer" that auto
graph letters may be mounted upon
screens reminds me of an awkward re
suit which might come from that Gus
tom, as illustrated by an incident that
happened in Boston not so very long
ago, A young literary man got into a
mock sentimental correspondence with
an unknown and for some time wrote
her bits of humor and sentiment, with
now and then scrap of verse to her
eyebrow or otherwise, rs one would
rhyme fair unseen.
He enjoyed the correspondence in the
half serious and half mocking way
natural under the circumstances, until
ore day, in looking over the collection
of autographs of a friend, he came TO
one of his epistles to the unknown.
Where did you get that?' he asked.
THAT? Oh, that | bought for ten
cents at HANKS. lie had several of
them, and bought il just for the fun.
The result of an investigation, judi
ciously conducted, was to bring to light
the fact that the unknown fair one was
an autograph collector Of the masculine
persuasion, who had started upon his
correspondence with a view to enrich
ing his collection, and had been induced
TO keep on by the double advantage of
the amusement he got out of it and the
convenience of having the autographs
! of this author for use in exchanges. lie
had not himself sold them, and those in
the hands of the dealer had been simply
bartered by him for others. The chagrin
and amusement of the author were
about equal.
