Before the Camera.

If you are short and stout don't ask
the poor artist to make picture of
you full length, writes a photographer
in The Ladies Home journal. He will,
if you insist; but he knows he is doing
q great wrong thereby. Nothing is SO
graceful and pleasing in picture of a
stout lady as sitting half-length, the
figure SO turned as to hide the too too
stoutness. Again. if you are slim and
angular, do not for an instant forget
that full-length figure will make YOU
appear more slim and angular. Then
the pretty bust picture is your only
hope and you should insist on having
none other. If a gentleman has a
very long neck-no matter how nicely
he looks in a high collar-his picture
if taken in such a high affair would
look grotesque. A short neck and
high collar long neck and low turn
ed-down collar by all means. No lond
stripes, no great checks, no striking
figures should be worn in photo
graph. One thing bear in mind when
you visit the studio bring along your
home expression. Don't spend two
days before you come to the studio
practicing poses and different express
sions before your mirror: and, lastly.
give the photographer the benefit of
exercising his artistic and professional
ability.

Weekly Weather-Crop Bulletin

Of the weather and crop service Co.
operating with the Weather Bureau,
tor the week ending Saturday, April,
70. 1891. Bulletin No. 8 The past
weeks weather conditions have been
generally favorable tc the agricul-
tural interests. The weather was
considerably warmer than last week,
and averaged slightly warmer than
usual at this season Of the year.
The amount of sunshine received
was deficient and this condition re-
tarded drying of the soil and delayed
farm work. There was an average,
of three rainy days during the week
giving an average of nine tenths of
an inch Of precipitation to the north
ern half of the State, and six tenths
to the southern half.
The crop conditions show an i'm
provement over the past week, and
although the season continues late
ranging from one to three weeks,
according to locality-yet present
prospects indicate most favorable
returns. In no section of the State
are the grain conditions placed be-
low the season Of 1890, and in many
localities the conditions are reported
from ten to twenty per cent. better,
particularly as regards winter wheat
Rye, clover, grasses, fruit and stock
are all reported favorably, although
feed continues scarce in a few local
tiles.
Ploughing on high lands has been
continued quite generally since the
10th instant in the southern, and
some seeding has already been done
in the more southerly and south
western counties. Farm work will
not, however, be general in the south
ern half of the State until next week,
provided no heavy rains interfere,
when it is anticipated that the low
lands will be sufficiently dried to
permit farmers to prepare the soil.
The snow and ice in the more
central counties has almost disap-
peared, and ice from inland lakes
in the southern counties has also
disappeared Some snow drifts re
main in sheltered places from the
middle of the State nothward, and
the snow in the woods in the north
ern counties is variously estimated
at from six to twelve inches IN depth,
but melting rapidly. The fields are
| for the most part bare.
Some spring gardening and
ploughing is already reported from
the northwestern counties.
Continued warm sunshiny weather
will advance farm work decidedly
in ensuing seven days.

FOR SALE
Railroad Lands in Southern Illinois

Railroad Lands in Southern Illinois.
The Illinois Central Railroad
Company are offering lands at so
low a price that it seems absurd to
tell what they are capable of produc-
ing, yet it is a fact that the crops
from apple orchards are yielding
from $500 to $500 per acre. There
are many farmers, fruit growers, who
are realizing each year from S15o to
$500 per acre for their fruit and ear
Iy vegetables, and some who are re-
aIizing ST, 900 per acre. These of
course are successful men Of bust
ness, who study how to do it. Do
you want the same chance to make
money You can have it by going
into this country and buying some of
the same lands from the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad Company, and by ap-
plying the ability you have in bus
mess manner to their Improvement
and cultivation, you can have in a
short time as valuable land as that of
a successful fruit grower, on the line
of this railroad, who said the other
day; 81 have brought my land to
such high state of cultivation that
no one can buy it from me for $500
per acre, as | can net $Ioo per acre
off it every year.
Most of the lands offered for sale
by the Illinois Central Railroad
Company can be made to produce
the same results. They lie along
the line of this railroad at distance
of from 5 to IS miles, and the coun-
try is traversed by many other rail-
roads, thus affording every facility
for transportation of early fruits and
vegetables to any market that may
be selected, fruit express trains being
run daily to Chicago, St. Louis, and
other points.
Sheep raising is as profitable on
the hill lands there as in any place
in Ohio. Address or call upon

confessed to depending upon the in
vigoration of cocktails in the morn
ing. This type enjoyed a reign of
several seasons, but, like all things
in society, it grew monotonous, and
change was required. It has come
in the old. familiar artless girl, who
was in vogue before the supremacy
of the racy young woman. Now,
instead of talking glibly about Del's
fair Marjorie informs you that she
really never has been in the place,
and wouldn't know how to act if she
found herself there. Instead of tell
ing about gay winters at Nice and
exciting "seasons" in London, she
declares that she was kept very quiet
while abroad and saw only few of
mammals friends. Instead of dash
ing into a horse-car and staring
boldly about at the faces of all the
other passengers, she steals in gen
thy and allows her eyelashes to trail
low upon her cheek, not even rails
ing them as she coyly drops her fare
into the conductors hand. In the
theatre she reads her programme be-
tween the acts, irstead of gazing
about the house, and she keeps
close hold of the chaperon's hand
when going to and from the car
rage. Of course, this modesty is
effective. It was always more
charming to men than was the dash
ing recklessness of the other type,
and its only drawback can be that it
lacks the appearance of genuineness.

Our Trade with Australia.

The first direct and continuous
trade between this country and the
Australian colonies was in 1852
It's growth up to 1876 was steady.
Then the very creditable exhibits of
the colonies at the Centennial Exhib-
ition drew attention to them. AS a
result of these exhibits American
manufacturers sent their exhibits in
turn to the Sydney and Melbourne
exhibitions of 1878 and 1890. In
consequence trade has largely in
creased, so that last year no less than
90 vessels of 9o,I58 tons register,
and with capacity of $4,000 tons,
cleared from the port of New York
for Australia, to say nothing of the
trading from the Pacific coast.
The new Commonwealth of Aus
tralia is certain to seek closer trade
relations with this country. Let the
great Republic meet her half way,
and the end of this century will wit
ness the greatest imaginable increase
of commerce between the two rich
est branches of our great family.
Then instead Of 100 ships of 2oo,-
900 tons capacity there will be 900
ships and 10000 tons of exchan-
geable commerce. The history Of
both countries and peoples fol- the
past quarter of a century shows that
the increase Of each in the product
ion of wealth and in commerce has
far surpassed the most sanguine ex-
pectations, and history in this case
as in others will repeat itself.-Sir
R. w. Cameron, in the Nay Forum

Sent to one Magazine, Of which not 200
were accepted.
Mr.. Box, the editor of TIE Laa2es'
Home /2urnaF recently gave some
interesting figures relative to the
manuscripts received by his maya
zine during 1890. Owing to its de
partments and peculiar character,
the Journal probably receives more
manuscripts than any magazine pub
lished. Mr.. Box says that he recev-
ed at his office a total number of
1904 manuscripts. Of these 2, $50
were poems; 1,746 stories and IT,
40 miscellaneous articles. OF the
poems, 90 were accepted; of the
stories, only IT, and of tie articles
40, of which latter, however, over
zoo were solicited articles. Thus,
it will be seen that of the entire 49,
900 manuscripts only 4o7 were &C
cepted, trife over three per cent.
Deducting from this the 500 accept
ed articles written t the Editor S
solicitation, the net percentage Of
unsolicited manuscripts is brought
down to 1877, or little more than
one per cent. Statistics such as
these show how much utter trash is
being written, and the number Of
persons writing ought to be employ
ing their time at something else and
better.

Our Huge Internal Commerce.

Statistics Of our internal CONNER, e
have never been accurately collect
ed, but it has been. estimated that
the domestic produce moved and
exchanged in this country last year
amounted in value to SIS, 900, 900, ooo.
The annual river commerce of Gin
cinnati is valued at more than $780,
900, 600. The tonnage that passes
up and down the Detroit River an
nually is greater than that which en-
tiers the port Of Liverpool. The
number Of vessels that enter and
clear at Chicago exceeds every year
by 1900 the number Of those that
enter and clear at New York The
tonnage passing through the Sault
Ste. Marie in 1890 exceeded that
passing through the great Suez Ca
nal by 100000 tons. Our lake,
river, and coastwise tonnage amounts
to nearly 1900, 900. The present
marvellous cheapness Of water trans
portation is of inestImable value to
the people in enabling that transpor-
tation to compete with railroads and
to regulate their charges. Natural
ly the demand for the improvement
Of the lake harbors, Of connecting
streams and canals, and of the i'm
mense water courses Of this country
/ has increased in its importantly with
the increase of this commerce; but
the increasing appropriations in the
river and harbor bills are not even
yet one-half as large as the amounts
proposed by the engineer board
Senator Frye in the May Forum.
