The Ladies' Favorites.

By perusing the pages of the French
Fashion Journals republlshed In English
by A. Mcdowell g. Co., West ii Street.
New York, It can be readily understood
how they have become 1.-The Favorites"
with ladies. Issued in Paris by different
publishers, they are the leading Fashion
Journals Of the "Old World" 1t Ia not,
therefore, matter for surprise that un-
BIASED critics should have pronounced
them the best Fashion Journals ever
offered to the American public. 1t would
be strange, indeed, il ladies did not give
up the inferior Fashion magazines which
they have hitherto patronized for these
handsome journals, which are known to
be month ahead of all Others in giving
the styles, and contain such valuable
practical lessons In the art of cutting and
making dresses. la Mode de Paris"
and album des Modes" are rivals for the
first place, single copies being 80 cents
each, or $3.50 per annum. la Mode"
the Family Magazine, is only 10 cents
copy or $3.50 year. Do not allow your
news agents to substitute inferior publ
cations for these, which can be mailed to
you from New York at the prices here
given.

Sugar and Tin.

The tariff was taken of sugar be-
cause we did not make enough of il,
and the tariff was doubled on tin so
that we could make some of it.
There's logic! We do produce a
large amount of purely American
sugar, but there is not pound of
American tin-plate on the market
and never has been, although it has
been taxed ever since 1816-seventy-
years. If the tariff on sugar, Of which
we make large quantities, was an un-
justifiable tax on the American peo-
pie because we did not make quite
enough, how are we to characterize the
tariff on tin-plate, of which we make
none at all 7 Does it not follow that
it must be a still greater aud more
distinct and unjustifable tax on the
American people?
Yet the American consumer must
fork over s16.OOO.OOO per year tin tax
and about s1O,OOO.OOO for sugar boun.

They Brought the Rain.

A special to the Republic from
Camp Edward Powers, Tex, dated
Oct. Is says:
The rainmakers are jubilant to- day
over the success which they scored by
their experiment Of last night. They
brought a heavy rain fall here in the
face of what was considered the most
adverse conditions possible. At mid
night there was not a cloud to be seen
and the moon was shining brightly.
About 800 persons had gone to the
rainmakers' camp near the town to
witness the experiment. The heavy
firing was kept up till nearly midnight,
when the firing ceased and f ve.minute
guns were fired. The crowd went
home in the moonlight, thoroughly
convinced that no rain would come.
They condoled with the rainmakers
and went to bed. AT 4 o'clock this
morning they were awakened by the
terrific report of an exploding balloon,
and before the report had died away
the rain came down in torrents.
The rainmmkerS, of course, knew
all about the coming storm from the
time it first began to gather, but it
took the town people completely by
surprise. AT about 2:30 o'clock one
of the balloons acted in very strange
way. Heretofore they had all gone
off to the northwest, the direction
toward which the smoke from the
batteries had drifted. This balloon
went straight into the air for about a
quarter Of mile. then it shot off to
the north for few seconds, circled
back to the west, stood motionless.
came south, was motionless again, and
then went from one direction to
another in the most cratic way be-
fore it exploded. There was no
doubt that big disturbance was
going on IN the upper currents, but
still there was not cloud in the sky
overhead, although off on the north
western horizon misty bank of clouds
was just peeping up. At 8 o'clock
this bank Of clouds rose higher and
at the same time clouds began to form
above. One balloon was sent up and
exploded directly under the black
clouds, and at the same time the
mortar battery began to throw up
twenty-one-pound bombs high into
the air. In two minutes the rain
began and in FIVE minutes it was
pouring. The water ran in rivulets
on the prairie and the ranchmen say
this morning that il is standing in
pools in some ofthe pastures. About
haitian inch fell during the hour that
it raincd and then dry norther came
bowling across the prairie and drove
the storm before 1t.
II has been estimated by the cattle
men and others that the rain 10 worth

No SOIL is properly prepared until It
is as fine as an ash heap. e
NEVER cut down trees for fire wood
that have good value for lumber.
RUST and exposure knock out more
farm tools and machinery than use.
THE castor-oil plant has been used
successfully to protect grape vines from

ONION sets, to produce a good crop,
should be perfectly formed-a perfect
onion in miniature, as some one puts 1t.
MANURE in the barnyard is as much
dead capital as is money lying in safe.
Set it to earning something as soon as
possible.
SIX per cent. of the corn crop is lost
by evaporation if the crop is held over
seven or eight months, which loss can
not be prevented.

out, it is worth cultivating. No cult
