The Cane Has Gone.

The really high caste London swell
has ''cuTsed his stick and cast it out. "
Swagger Englishmen no longer appear
in public with canes of any description.
The collection Of choice silver topped
and natural wood weapons they drew
mental sustenance from through SO many
seasons has suffered temporary divorce
from the fashionable toilet. British
manhood is unprotected, and goes empty
handed on the promenade save for a
glove possibly, or in stress of weather a
medium sized silk umbrella.
The collapse of the stick is attributable
to the wholesale adoption Of imitation
costly canes by the London clerk and
petty tradesman.
AIRY, the haberdasher, greengroceI
and draper men were contented until re.
Gently to carry blackthorns or light
rattan. To this no objection was raised
by the aristocrats, and all would have
gone well had not a sharp American
flooded the market with cheap, fashy
copies of swelldom's own stick. The re.
suit was intolerable, and hence the uni
versal remuneration of canes in upper
circles. ILLUSTRATED American.

,old Tnshioned watch chain..

Among the presents showered ON
;Blushing brides this season figures the
old fashioned watch chain, more than q
yard long After many years of sus-
pending watches from chatelaines, from
short chains hanging from a brooch and
from ribbons secured by monograms;
after wearing them in breast pockets or
tucked into the bosoms of dresses with
short chain pendants: after carrying
them. in leathern straps or slipped into
the clasp of bag or using them as deco
rations for the handles of parasols and
umbrellas, card cases and portemonnaies.
as clasps for bracelets or concealed be-
meath q aminiature in brooch or behind
the heart Of floral pin-fashion has
gone back to the ancient style of chain
thrown around the neck that our mothers
and grandmothers affected.
The new chains are very fine and gen.
orally are divided at intervals of three
orfour inches by pearls, turquoises OF
garnets, strung like beads, or by small
diamonds, rubies, sapphires or moon
stones, set clear. AS for the watch, it is
hidden in the folds of the dress or car
ried in side pocket. 1t is small in size,
and the back should be encircled or en-
ttirely incrusted with gems similar to
those on the chain.-Paris Cor. jewelers.

Last of the Bufaso.

There is a small herd Of buffalo on
what is known as the Red desert, not
many miles from Laramie. Wyo. A
party Of hunters recently returned from
there and report having seen fifteen.
During their trip they captured two
with lasso, but both of them died, it is
said, from the effects Of the choking they
received. One of them was taken after
chase Of twodays. Mr.. ]. c. Robbins
was at the head Of the party, and hia
purpose in capturing them alive was to
add them to a private collection Of the
wild animals Of the Rocky mountains,
which he intends exhibiting at the
Worlds fair at Chicago. He left three
hunters in the hills near the desert for
the purpose Of capturing other animals.

To Winter in the Arctic.

Three vessels from San Francisco are
now in winter quarters at the mouth of
the Mackenzie river, within 1900 miles
of the north pole. This is said to be the
first time that whaling vessels have vol
UNFAIRLY wintered in this location. The
colony comprises nearly seventy men.
1t will be late next summer before they
can be heard from, unless by some chance
a trapper might find his way that far
north by sledges and back again to a
British fur trading post. Provisions in
the way of fish and game will be pro-
cured from the Indians who have vii
lagos close by. The vessels are the
steamers Grampus and Mary D. Hume
and the schooner Nicolene. Alluring
stories of bowhead whales being so thick
in the water that you could walk about
on their backs as ON broken ice led the
vessels to their present location.-San

The cosmos flower, which has come TO
be all the rage here this fall, has an in-
teresting history, which Mr.. Small, the
florist, related. It Is indigenous to Mex
leo, where it grows wild in the fields like
the daisy in this climate. Some four
years ago a German florist in Hoboken,
N. j., propagated some Of the plants
from imported seeds and introduced the
flowers in New York. Then the plant
appeared in the Soldiers home gardens
at Hampton, near Fortress Monroe,
where it was found that it would bloom
as late as January and February, on ac-
count of the milder climate. A gentle
man near Alexandria, Va, then secured
q quantity of the seed and began to grow
the plant for the market. meeting with
such success that he has now several
acres covered with the cosmos blooms,
and he ships immense quantities to New
York daily.
Mr.. Small says that the plant cannot
be grown with great success farther
north than this city, as it succumbs to
the first frost. This is the first year that
it has become common, but just now
great branches of it adorn the windows
of each florists establishment, and can
be bought cheaply in the market or of
the boys on the street. The flower
makes a pretty interior decoration, or it
will keep fresh for four or five days If
placed in vase of water Immediately
after it is cut The white blossoms are
the handsomest, resembling narcissua
in their white petals and gold hearts,
but there are other tints that are highly
priced. The cosmos is apt to be as pop
ular ere long as the chrysanthemum, al
though florists will always prefer the
latter. .-Washington Post.

superintendent Hustled, Of the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton, doesn't like
the kodak, and his experience OF the
last few days does not lessen his dislike.
When the wreck occurred at Oxford the
''kodak fends" were out In force to
make sketches Of the scene. As busi-
ness proposition Mr.. Hustled objected to
photography Of the affair being sent
broadcast over the country, and many OF
the kodak manipulators consented to
his request and left the place. One chap
with fine instrument would not listen
to anything and insisted on taking .
picture. At last the superintendent told
him he was trespassing on the company's
grounds. and the man with the kodak
remarked that he would SO to an adjoin.

The superintendent told him that he
would be trespassing there also. This
made the chap angry Mr.. Hustled is an
exceedingly mild hammered man, but he
grew warm under the collar. II have
tried to treat you as o gentleman" ex-
claimed he, land you won't let me.
Now, I'll treat you like o tough. If you
attempt to make picture of this wreck
I'll smash that kodak over your internal
head" Tho kodak fend evidently be-
heved that Hustled would make his word
good, for he went back to Oxford on O
work train. ....l
While Superintendent Hustled was
thus engaged Chief Engineer Porter and
his assistants were chasing kodak fiends
over the surrounding country with clubs

hold choice points of view, but it's fail

Educating Farmers. Chlldren.

A movement is on foot in Denmark,
corresponding with the needlework in.
dustries of England and Ireland, to adj
vance the farming and dairy interests
for the benefit Of women. Little girls
are being trained to raise poultry, make
cheese and butter, and brand them with
the badge of excellence. The agricult-
ural, industrial and scientific worlds ara
levied upon for improved machinery and
appliances. Not only are the cattle fed
in Danish fashion, but by the use of spe-
cial methods 10 per cent. more butter is
extracted from gallon Of milk than
ever before. These fancy products are
put in the highest markets and yield a
revenue not to be approached by the old

heather peoples of England and France,
to whom Steamship Agent Low has just
consigned it, reached here all the way
from Minneapolis q day ,or two ago by

was fifty-four feet long it had to be tar
paulined and bolted to the deck Of the
steamship Lydian Monarch, as there was
no room for it in the hold. A single
freight shipment fifty-four feet long is
not to be sneezed at, even if it is only
five feet and a half square in the other

Two checks for quite large amount
recently sent by Saco, Me-, man to a
Portland firm have had quite an inter.
esting history. AS the Portland firm at
first denied having received them, it was
at first thought that they had been
stolen, but it was at last concluded that
they had found their way to the waste
basket by mistake. This supposition
was followed up. and four men were
kept at work all day Sunday turning
over with pitchforks the dump heap on
one Of the Portland wharves It was
like hunting for needle in haystack,
but the search was successful, and the
two checks were at last recovered. =
