 WITH their usual appreciation Of the demands of their patrons, Messrs. A. Mcdowell & Co. are still working hard to further improve their fashion jour nals and to bring them closer, if pos s,ble, in touch with Paris and its latest styles. With this end in view Mir A. Mcdowell has just left for Europe in- tending fully to spare neither time nor money in adding new features to the firms publications, Paris Album of Fashion" and "La Mode de Paris;' with these two premium is given to all subscribers for one year paying SS.50 in. advance, in the form of a highly useful work, called "Dressmak- ing Simplified," These journals in conjunction with their others, 'La Couturiere" and "La Mode,n make a list of publications that are beyond competition, because their styles are not reproductions but originals made up in Paris and come out one month earlier than other fashion journals. Messrs. A. McDowcll X Co.,, 1 West 1ith Street, New York, beg to call at tention to the new and artistic covers they have had designed for their jour nals; these are the best work of their best artists. and we have no hesitation in saying that the contents of these journals being of such a very high class make the exceptionally fine covers very appropriate.

 Columbus was by profession a sailor and his great maritime knowledge won for him the command of many ships During his numerous voyages he formed his purpose of sailing westward to find a nearer way to India. Itwas at the little Spanish port of Palos that Columbus prepared the expedition for which Fer dinand and Isabella had supplied the means
 Of his three ships the Santa Maria, the flagship of the little squadron, was the largest, the Pinta and Nina being

 On account of these ships being built high at the ends and low amidships, high seas would often be taken upon the decks when sailing with side wind, and to prevent this high stanchions or posts were inserted in the upper plank Of the rails, to which screens of heavy canvas were laced, making temporary bulwark, which proved to be very effec- tive in keeping out the water. In the case of the two smaller ships heavy mats and large tarpaulins were stretched across the beams to keep the water from running into the holds and swamping them; the vessels of four centuries ago were not supplied with pumps.
 The Santa Maria was rigged with four masts--the three foremost ones being fit. ted with yards or square rigged, while the after mast was supplied with lateen sails. A long bowsprit projected from her bow, but carried no jibs or head sails. No sails were carried aloft above the topsails.
 During favorable winds sail was set under tho bowsprit reaching to the water, and known as the watersail or spritsail. This sail fell into disuse over two centuries ago.

THE FARMING WORLD.

SOME poultrymen grow eabbages

their laying hens during the winter. 1t
pays them and it will pay to initiate
them. Don't be afraid of having too
large a crop of cabbage heads; the pigs
will take all that the family and the
hens fail to consume.
Do NOT begin to feed corn to hogs too
soon. There Will be some refuse vet,
such as green weeds, grass, etc, which
may be utilized. After the cold weather
begins is the time to commence feeding
corn. In the meantime, all the waste
material suita bic for the purpose should
put to good use in the pig pen
OUR potato crop is not sufficient for
our requirements for the coming year,
while Canada has more than her people
can consume. A crop that falls below
the demand should be a paying one.
and with the use of more fertilizers
greater yields per acre, and good keep
ing varieties, the potato growers have
a bright future before them.
EXPERIMENTS made for several sea-
sons demonstrate that it will cost no
more TO raise pig, attain a heavy
weight and produce pork that is inter
sperSed with lean and fat than to pro-
duce pork that is almost wholly COM
posed of fat. By feeding a variety of
food, including corn, more pork and of
better quality will result than when
only corn is fed.
A WONDERFUL Improvement has been
made in the varieties of tomatoes dur
ing the past five years They are now
smooth on the surface. and are also
very solid compared with old varieties
If improvement progresses as rapidly
in the future as in the past with toma-
toes, they will at some day contain but
a few seeds and be as solid-heshed as
apples.
1T is not now a matter of distance
from market, but the time in reaching

the advantage of a railroad 1t is the

coating of cut straw, chaff or some
thing of the kind. This will prevent
the animals from slipping and also
keep the droppings from coming in di-

There is already the same outcrop-

they must abandon projected new en-

have any weight
This class of men is made up of two
species: First, those who are financially
unsound at any rate, and are looking
about for some one else upon whom
to charge the probable consequences
of their own incapacity or shiftless-
ness. Many of this kind declared four
years ago that if Cleveland were
elected their business would be ruined.
Harrison was elected. and these men
became bankrupt just the same.
They sought to saddle on the dem
ocratic party responsibility which
