against infection with the tobsrcle bacillus.
In the light of modern discoveries consump-

When the announcement was authorita
lively made that small hats and bonnets
were to be the mode of the coming winter,
the male theatre-goer gleefully rejoiced
But alas! his eXuitatlOn was premature.
He had heard half the truth. To be sure
there are a large proportion of hats and
bonnets that are as small and close fitting
as those who wish to see beyond them
could desire. There are, however, large
hats with high crowns sWathed IN plumes,
capable of cOnceahng so large 2 segment
of any view that the remainder must be
meaningless. AS these hats are designed
expressly for young ladies, they will, of
| course, have a perennial presence at the
theatre. Some of those large hats are
SIMILAR IN shape to the hat in which
Mother Goose, of nursery fame, is repre-
sented as perpetratlng her wanderlngs,
save that they are tip-tilted in the back.
Others have lower crowns over which are
laid simple folds Of velvet. The first
kind is a hat Of this sort with the
brim slightly shortened in the back, Civ
ng it a scoop effect. The material is vel
vet In the Stanley brown shade. A high,
full bow Of the brown velvet and golden
rod yellow spangle ribbon ornament the
ack. About the edge of the broad brim
is three-inch space between golden wires
which is filed in with forget-me-nots in
golden-rod yellow, so placed that they
form lace-like open edge The other hat
is in black velve6, lace and Jet As felt
was fashionable material during the
summer, lace will be worn during the
winter. The brim of this hat is jetted in a
delicate design and in the back is d high
bunch Of cocks feathers toward the front.
This style is particularly becoming to a
full round face

WOMAN'S BROWNING GLORY.
Elaborate and Snowy Millinery is the
Rule for the Fair Ones This
Fall.
Four Fashionable Styles Proposed
STANLEY Brown a Swell Color.
Large Hats to be Worn by Young
LadieS-Lace for the Winter
All Black Headgear.

The millinery world certainly seems TO
be going ornament-mad. Within the
memory of living women there has not be-
fore prevailed such elaboration and showi-
ness of ornamentatiOn. The mock-iewel
fad of the present season reaches its acme
In the realm OF hats, bonnets and toques
As to design, everything that belongs
either to earth or air IS represented. There
are also numerous ornaments which could
not be classed under the head of craven
images, as they certainly are not in ''the
likeness of anything that is In heaven
above, or the earth beneath, or the water
under the earth" There are also jeweled
cloths for crowns. Spider webs of Jet and
Of gold on cloth, holding in their meshes
insects with cleaning bodies representing
precious stones and with ganzy wings of
brilliant metal.
The thoughtless appropriation of these
cleaning cloths and ornaments results in
something surely bad to behold How
ever, when they are skillfully disposed the
effect Is rather more than pleasing. And
by the by, it is a mistake to suppose that
there are not among those who devote
themselves to the forming of ladies' head
gear true artists whose sense of form and
color is as keen and as cultured as the best
of those who handle palette and brush.
Notable among these miLIiner artists who
are able to so handle all the oriental gor-
geosness which Dame Fashion DEGREES
shall be used, is Miss Haley, of New
York, who receives a salary Of $4,000 per
annum and her expenses paid to Paris and
return once or twice each year, and Miss
Mccarthy, of Chicago, whose taste and
skill is only equaled by her exhaustive
knowledge Of all that pertains to the mil
liners art.

The Ernfit From Pigs.

The profits from pigs is largely de
termined by the treatment they receive
Immediately after weaving time. The
best plan to adopt is to commence Feed
ing several days before weaving, giving
bran mixed with milk, which should
be allowed to stand. Provide trough
in place where the pigs can run into
and eat by themselves undisturbed, and
they will soon learn to eat and get ac-
customed to their changed diet. good
orchard is the very best place for grow
ing pigs. If thero is good supply OF
grass, "a small quantity of bran and
milk will keep them in good order.
There is danger of pigs getting
stunted at this time, and it is almost I'M
possible to correct the mischief. AT
this season the faster the growth with
the pigs the larger will be the profit,
and the period from now onward until
real hot weather sets in is the very best
time to secure healthy growth. With
young pigs, if they have plenty OF good
green clover or lucerne, there is little
danger of over-feeding; but it is never
a good plan to give stock OF any klnc
more than they can clear up comfort
ably So with pigs, it is better to zinc
out just what they want and give then
so much.--Rural World.

PROPOSAL TO ABOLISH TAXES
Corporations to Pay for Franchises and
Privileges Granted Them.

Corporations to Pay for Franchises and
Privileges Granted Them.
The Real Estate Record and Guide de-
clares that there should be and there
would be no taxes if the city were in re.
ceipt of payments from corporations
commensurate with the great value OF
franchises and privileges granted them.
1t says if such payments were made
there would be no necessity for main !
tanning burea. for the collection OF
taxes on real and personal estate. In i
proof of it's assertion, the Record and
Guide says that at the end of last year
the total mileage OF gas pipes laid in the
streets of this city was over 1,sss. OF
these, 112 miles were laid by the Equit-
able Gaslight Company and the remain
ing Lilo miles by six other companies.
The Equitable began laying its mains
in 1883 and is required by the terms OF
it's franchise to pay into the city treas.
ury twenty cents for each lineal foot OF
mains laid This payment now amounts
to S11S,940. The other companies do not
pay penny to the city for the valuable
privilege that they enjoy. Despite the
wise provision made in the case of the
Equitable, the Standard Gas Company
was permitted to begin laying mains in
1886, and now has over ITO miles OF
pipes, paying the city nothing what
ever for the privilege. The Record and
Guide insists that if the gas, heating
horse car, electric light and other COM
panies were made to pay into the city
treasury proper taxes the revenue de-
rived would be sufficient to meet munic-
ipal expenses and do away with the
collection of all other taxes.
The Standard can not attempt to say
how far the Record and Guide is right.
We hope that our contemporary will
take the trouble to 60 carefully into the
!, figures. The principle of the single tax
demands that all individuals who enjoy
, privilege granted to them through the
use of public powers, and all enjoying a
right to the use of property belonging to
the whole people, shall pay into the pub
! lie treasury annually an amount equiva'
lent to the value of the privilege that
such individuals or corporations enjoy
We claim that the privilege of the mo-
nopoly of land by an individual should
thus be taxed, but we shall rejoice if the
Record and Guide can bring the people

Nitrate of Soda as Top Dressing fof
Cotton.
In reply to a correspondent the South
ern Cultivator says: AS general prop
osition we do not believe it is true that
fifty pounds of nitrate soda will in
crease the yield two to three hundred
pounds. 1t would depend on the char
acter of tie soil and the amount ana
characterfof the fertilizers that may
have been applied to the land IN the
spring. If the soil has been largely
deprived of vegetable matter by con-
tinuous cropping land thereby exhaust
ed of its nitrogen), and no fertilizer
was applied in the spring, or fer
tilizer containing nitrogen was ap-
piled, then an application of MI
trate of soda would very likely prove
decidedly beneficial. The benefit, how
ever, can not be stated in such definite
terms, but will depend upon the con-
tingencies we have named. 1t would
be very easy matter to test it by
actual experiment, on sets OF rows OF
uniform quality, and repeated several
different plans. Take a plat OF, say
three cotton rows; carefully SOW broad
cast on these rows at the rate OF fifty
pounds of the nitrate of soda, going over
at least twice, so as to distribute uni
formily. Leave the next three rows
without top dressing, then three rows
with nitrate again, and so on as long as
may be convenient. Let the cultiva
ton be precisely similar. You vii
then note the results with care, ane
will have a positive answer to you
