 The hood is so very simple in form that look at the illustration will show how it is to be made, but this style IS not arbitrary. Any style of capuchin can be made that pleases the wearer best. A dark red silk lining is very be coming, hut bright yellow or dark green can be used if it suits the complexion.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Would you look as pretty as the historical "rose newly washed by the shower" dur ing the meanest, dampest and most dismal rainy day? Then get or make yourself the pretty storm coat herewith described. The body of the garment is cut princess redingote shape, double breasted and reaching clear to the bot tom of the dress. The sleeves are sim pie coat sleeves. The cape, lined with changeable silk or farmers satin, reaches we'll down, and is made so that it slips right under the small turndown collar.
 The capuchin hood is fastened to the

When the sun shines it hangs down the back, but when the rain drips or the snow falls it is drawn up and makes a cozy and pretty frame for the face, making it appear piquant and arch. The garment is com fortable besides being pretty, and it is made of s t orm serge, frieze or water proof and defes the elements. The present. style of close, littls-bo nets permits the wearer to keep her bonnet on under the hood.

It rests with you more than with all
the preachers to roll this world little

it only sleeps for want Of work to do.
It is you who must wake it to noble

knightly worship. You must be high

For no mincing court dame could the
dragon have been slain. Oh, ladies
fair, be fair in mind and soul as well
as face, SO that brave knights may win
glory in your service! Oh, woman,

California fruit is large and fine to
look at, but not so. good to eat as
Southern fruit" said Mr.. j. M. For
syth, Of Boston, few days ago. Il
have been out in California and seen
the fruit as it came from the orchard.
The grapes are certainly the finest and
sweetest / ever saw, and the pears are
also very fine, but just a little bit
coarse. The trouble is that California
soil is so productive that all fruits and
vegetables grow too large, and neces-
sarily are coarse, becoming woody in
fiber. / have seeu sweet potatoes
grow SO large, that they were unfit to
eat, and it is the same with fruit.
Pears become very coarse. Oranges
are mostly skin and pulp, there being
but little juice. Now, down in the
Southern States, Louisiana and Flori-
da, for instance, the soil is productive
but does not induce an abnormal
growth, and both fruit and vegetables,
while attaining full perfection, do not
become coarse. The oranges are thin
skinned and full of juice, the pears
are fine, and the vegetables are we'll
grown, without being at all coarse.
There is no question in judgement
but the Southern States can discount
the Pacific Coast any time in fruits
and vegetables, and I am disinter-
ested party

A REMARKABLE ASTRONOMI.
CAL FACT.

Two persons were born at the same
place, at the same moment of time.
After fifty years had rolled by they
both died, almost at the same instant.
vet one had lived 109 days more than
the other. How was this possible?
Not to keep our friends in suspense,
we will give the solution, which turns
on curious, but with little reflection
very obvious point in circumnaviga-
ton. A person going round the
world towards the west loses a day,
and towards the east gains one. Sup
posing then that these two persons
were born at the same instant in St.
Louis, from whence voyage around
the world may be easily performed
once q year; if one of these persons con-
stantly goes towards the west, in so
years he will be fifty days behind the
stationary inhabitants: if the other
sails equally fast towards the east, be
will be so days ahead of them. One,
therefore, will have seen 100 days
more than the other, though they we're
born and died in the same place, and
ut the same moment, and even lived
continually in the same latitude and
reckoned time by the same calendar.

coincidence struck me, namely, that
there were only four rows of figures nee,

only occur in February, and never in q

Feb. l falls on Sunday. During the
present century this combination of cir

and never again during the present CEN

on Sunday and end on Saturday. and en-

A GOOD DOG STORY,

Golden Days tell the following sto-
ry: A Newfoundland dog was one day
sitting ON wooden bridge over very
swift stream discussing a bone when q
predatory pug came along and smart
alteration arose over bone. So vio-
lent became the debate that both sud-
denly overbalanced and fell in the
stream beneath. The nearest landing
was one hundred yards down, and to
it the Newfoundland betook himself
without much difficulty and after a
good shake was preparing to depart
when he became aware that the pug
was having a hard time of it, wildly
beating the water and showing every
symptom of exhaustion. One look was
enough. In went the shaggy coated
fellow and selling the other by the
collar brought his late enemy safe to
land. The two dogs eyed each other
with perfectly indescribable express
sion for some seconds, then solemnly
wagged their respective tails and with
dignity departed.

Bismarck's latest story concerns
Nicholas of Russia. The Car suf-
fered from disease that his physi-
clans told him could be relieved only
by rubbing of the spine. Nicholas
was anxious enough to try the pres
cription, for he was in great pain, but
in all his court he had no one whom
he would trust to give him the treat
ment. So eventually he sent cou-
rier all the way to Berlin with writ
ten request that Frederick William
II should send him five non-commis-
stoned officers Of the Guards to rub
his back. The officers were sent, rub
bed the Cars back for few weeks
and were then dismissed to Berlin
with presents of $500 each. In
speaking of the matter to the Prus-
sian King subsequently, the Gar said:
Il trust my Russians as long as l can
look them in the eye, but to let them
go to work at my own back-that is
more than care to risk.-[Ex.

BLUFFED BY A DUMMY.

The Trinidad (Col.) Chronicle re-
lates an incident Of Joe Simpson, an
old timer, who recently died in that
city. Joe owned a piece of land near
town, ON which he one day found a
corps of surveyors running a line.
He promptly drove them off with
a 44-caliber revolver. A warrant was
sworn out for his arrest, but the dep
uty who attempted to serve it was
held up by the curious frontiersman,
his gun and belt emptied and himself
sent back to town quicker than he
came.
Anticipating visit from a posse
of men, Simpson took an old suit OF
clothes, stuffed it with grass, placed
the dummy in chair at the door Of
his cabin, surrounded the figure with
a wide-brimmed sombreroro and ar
ranged with a broom to give the in
nocent efigy the appearance OF pre-
pairing to send q bullet through any
one who might approach.
Simpson then hid in IN adjacent
cornfeld and awaited developments
The posse finally arrived, and, catch
ing sight of the figure in the doorway
held a hurried consultation and finally
beat a retreat. Simpson was highly
amused spectator of the performance

PORK ROOT FOR SICK HOGS.
(Farmerville Gazette

Editors Gazette-When a paper i
read before the State Agricultural So
ciety Oh certain subjects, it it the Gus
tom to follow such paper with discus
sion covering every practical question
relating to the subject.
Alta recent meeting in Alexandria
complaint was made in regard to the
dise&se of hogs, gentlemen present sta
ting that the past year had been one
of uncommon mortality among this
class of animals. The subject receiv-
ed full discussion.
Hon. Charles Schuler, of DeSoto
stated that he had lost from fifty to
sixty hogs from disease, and that in
the morning Of q certain day he haul
ed off seven head and buried them;
that same morning he began to feed
his remaining forty head with slop
made of poke weed root, and since
that time he had not lost hog.
The root of the pokeweed, COM
mon growth throughout your parish,
is cut to small pieces and cooked to a
slop with water, the stronger the bet
ter, feed twice a day. Mr.. Schuler
said his hogs refused to eat corn, but
they Immediately relished the poke
weed slop.
The symptoms and effects of dis
ease were identical to those related to
me have carried away SO many hogs
in Union parish, and hasten to give
my people the above information.
I may state further that the veteri-
nary and chemical departments of the
Experiment Station will soon begin
investigation into the disease of the
animal, and composition of the root,
when the result will be made known
to the whole people.
Poke weed in our country is often
eaten as salad in early spring. Its
root, however, is known to be poison
and even the berries were thought to
be poisonous to children. Such, how
ever is not the case. Medical men
tell US that birds feeding on poke ber-
ries are found to be- very poor and
that an extract made of them is now
used as an "anti-fat' remedy. Please
let Col. D. Stein have benefit of this
last. fact.

CANNIBAL DWARFS OF THE
CONGO FOREST,

Nelson had q curious account to
give of the dwarfs of the Congo forest.
He describes them as the ugliest and
most depraved specimens of humanity
he ever heard of. "They struck me
as the dark and forbidding creatures
of a bad night mare," he said, when
he first saw them, ''rather than actual
human beings" "Oh, they're bad
lot, l tell you: Sometimes we struck
a district where they seemed triAe
less wild, or more confident, and they
used to come in swarms to the camp.
They, of course had never seen a
white man before.
"The most disagreable thing about
them was their guilty, sneaking ex-
preston. They are cannibals, of
course, and it always seemed to me
that they came into our camp for the
purpose Of feasting their eyes on us,
as pack of hungry dogs might gaze
longingly on a leg of mutton. They
could never looks US in the face. l

them sizing up the others, and fairly
licking their chops. 1t used to make
my flesh creep. They used to pay
more attention to Jephson than any Of

that he would cut up into more steaks

VEGETABLE WOOL.
Mr.. j. A. Fernandez de Trava

Mr.. J. A. Fernandez de Trava has
just imported a new plant known as
vegetable wool" which he is anxious
of introducing in Louisiana. Mr.. Fer
nandez relates that 1882 a party of
English tourists travelling i'll New Zea-
land found a new quality of cotton
growing there and by way of expert
ment sent samples to large manufac-
turers in England to see what could
be done with the new staple. Some
years afterwards the same plant was
discovered thriving in Ecuador and a
large crop was shipped to Europe.
The WOODEN factories at once recogni-
zed the value Of the new cotton and
manufactured woolen goods with it.
While the plant has been known for
several years, few persons have been
able to obtain the seed, as the planta-
tions on which tits cultivated are own
ed exclusively by an English syndicate
who prevent the reproduction of the
plant in other countries. MIR. Fernan-
dez says the climate of Louisiana is
especially suited for the plant and
feels that once introduced it would
soon take a foremost place among the
staples of the state. Mr.. Fernandez
has also on hand samples of magnif-
cent cloth made from the vegetable
wool" ol."-Picay,.ee.

ANECDOTES OF TALLEYRAND,
[From the Boston Transcript. |

'FThe art of putting right men in
the right places, Talleyrand once said,
'is first in the science of government,
but that of finding places for the dis
content is most difficult"
1t would seem from this that the
distinguished French statesman was
as much a prey to otfice-seekers as are
the public men Of our own time.
His manner of disposing of them is
amusingly illustrated in the following
anecdote:
One day one of these troublesome
persons presented himself to NJ. de
Talleyrand and reminded him that he
had been promised a place.
every well," said Talleyrand, "but
tell something that suits you and which
can be given. You don't know of
anything? Well, find something.
You must admit that l haven't time
to search for you
TIE applicant was thus disposed of
for the time being, but day or two
after he again presented himself, his
face radiant with hope, and said:
"Sir, such and such place is va
cant"
"Vacant," replied Talleyrand.
"Well, what do you wish me to do?
You ought to know that when place
is vacant it has already been prom
ised."
Like many other famous man, both
before his time and since, Talleyrand
exhibited-at least in early life-a
great reluctance to settling with his
creditors. When he was appointed
bishop of Autun by Louis XVI, he
considered a fine new coach to be nec-
essary to the proper maintenance of
the dignity of that Office. According
ly coach was ordered and delivered,
but not paid for. Some time after,
as the newly appointed Bishop was
about to enter his coach he noticed g
strange man standing near who bowed
continually until the coach was driven
away. This occurred for several days
until at length, Talleyrand, addressing
the stranger, said:
"Well, my good man, who are your"
Il am your coachmaker, my Lord y
replied the stranger.
"Ahw said Talleyrand, "you are
my coachmaker; and what do you
want, my coachmaker?"
Il want to be paid, my Lord
"Ah! you are my coachmaker, and
you want to be paid. You shall be
paid, my coachmaker."
"But, when my Lord?"
"Hum!" said Talleyrand, settling
himself comfortably among the cush-
ions of his new coach and cycling his
coachmaker severely, "you are very
inquisitive.'
