called. Greens are much affected, par
ticularly for tea-gowns, which take on
more and more garniture and accident
ais, as the music people call them. You
can produce very taking little costume
by making up silk blouse in some pale
color, cut V-shape, and wear with it
q black skirt, and by simply adding a
net or gauze overskirt you achieve mnch
brilliancy.
So far as can note, there Is no in
tention to relinquish those effects by
which a greater breadth of shoulder is
attained, only there is an apparent in
clination to substitute the shoulder frill,
which gives an aspect OF breadth with
out making 1t seem so like a trick or q
device. To this end you must have
recourse to yoke from which hangs n
loose but not over-full frill OF the a.
terial. In tea-gowns and house dresses
you make use of some cobwebby ma
terial like chiffon with sprigs of en-
broidery and button holed at the edges.
Lace, too, is very modish for shoulder
frills; Chantilly, Brussels, Spanish, or
guipure. You need not encircle the
bust entirely, but stop at the shoulders
in epaulette style, and, in this case, you
may carry 1t down in cascades to the
point of the corsage in diminishing
width. Guipure in faint yellowish ttnge
is much worn, spreading itself In wide
pelerine-style, over the shoulders.
A real novelty Is the Russian blouse in
scarlet serge to he worn with black
skirt. The blouse has narrow black
velvet yoke, outlined with narrow strips
OF short fur, from which it falls. The
sleeves are of black velvet, tight-fltting,
with fur cuffs, and loose oversleeves Of
the scarlet serge reaching to the elbows.
and also edged with fur. There must be
a belt, OF course, and the skirt should
be fur-trimmed to match. making up an
extremely quaint and pretty house dress.

fts Wonderful Growth and Devsiopmen
fn the United States.


fn the United States.
During the last fifty years the cat
tie industry OF the United States has
experienced growth and develop
ment as wonderful as that OF any
other branch OF American enterprise.
Fifty years ago the great plains and
parks OF the West, which now con-
tribute so largely to the beef supply,
were grazed only by herds OF wild
bison. Cattle raising for beef, or the
dairy, was confined to the seaboard
and Middle States. In fact, for
many Of the earlier years of the
period Ohio was the leading State In
this business. Nearly all the cattle
OF those years, says a writer In the
American Agrlculturlst, were ma
tives" OF no particular breed. True,
a few enterprising gentlemen had inn
ported and bred from fine improved
stock, but such breeding was gener-
ally looked upon as an expensive
amusement for the rich, rather than
a steady and profitable business for
the farmer. or the pure-bred cattle
of that day the Shorthorn was the
leading breed in point of numbers
and popularity as it has continued to
be ever since. The Devons had been
introduced still earlier, and had
many admirers; a few Here
fords had been quite recently
imported by w. ii. ii. Sotham and
Erastus Corning, and limited num-
Der of Dutch cattle were owned and
bred by L. G. Morris, near New York
City. Ayrshires were imported in
1881, and, during the subsequent ten
years, had become deservedly popular

be lacking, and that the hip cores would
not be quite even. The reason of all
this is obvious. The human mind Is
capable of just so much activity, and II
you exhaust 1t making verses you
mustn't expect to find that your last sea-
sons gowns will appear to good advan-
tage when nobody has been looking after
their harmonies.
Fur trimming seems to have taken
such a strong hold upon popular favor
that nothing save the breath of May
flowers will brighten 1t away, II, in fact,
it will even be willing to go then. 1t is
simply ubiquitous, or, better said, every
where you least expect to find 1t, and
must admit that it has pressed feathers
very closely this season. Tea negligees,
reception dresses, street gowns, ball
toilets, all display their fur trimming.
My attention has been specially attract
ed by the positively lovely little jackets
in velvet, made sleeveless and left open
to show the neck and chemisette and
edged with fur. But this season fur has
not been content to border skirts In the
plain oldfashioned way; 1t has wound
itself in graceful curves upon train, and
even diagonally around a gown in SER
pentine coils; it has edged the corsage,
coming in direct contact with the fair
skin of the wearer; it has acted as cein-
ture, and even nestled amid the wavy
tresses of the lady OF modes.
In my last Illustration take pleasure
in calling your attention TO very
charming ball toilet with fur trimming.
1t is white satin, garnitured with soft
gray fur and old gold, TIE old gold being

CHARLES III. STURGEON was one of
the worlds greatest preachers. He
was conspicuous for his rigid adher-
ence to his earliest teachings and to
his first Interpretation of the sacred
writings. He preached the gospel,
holding in one hand the promises
vouchsafed to those who "come up
through much tribulation, while the
other grasped flaming sword, en-
blematic of that lake of fire and
birthstone which he believed to be
the destiny of those who forget God
and "fail TO keep his commandments. Z"
The positive words of the Master,
"My yoke is easy and my burden is
light" brought to him no confident
assurance, for he took upon himself a
heavy yoke and grievous burdens.
He was never an orator in the best
sense of that word. But he was
unique among pulpit speakers, be-
cause without seeking notOriety,
which is usually attained by eccentric
utterances or innovation, he achieved
it without departing from the grooves
of his creed. HIS private life was as
remarkable for its purity as was his
public career for it's earnestness.

made up from the bluegrass pastures
of Ohio and Kentucky, or the more
remote prairies of Illinois, and driven
by slow and easy marches over the
country roads to Albany, New York,
Philadelphia and other Eastern mar
kets, generally arriving at their des-
tinatiOn in better condition than
when they started. But the wide
awake Western men were not slow to
perceive the advantages of slaughter
ing and packing beef near the feed
ing grounds. Early in the half-cen-
tury the business was established in
Chicago, which has since grown to
immense proportions. A Chicago
paper of 1S49 announced that "Chi-
cago is at present the first point in
the United States in slaughter
ing and putting up beef. There
are some two or three estab-
lishments engaged in this bust
ness here, who have no rivals at any
other place in the United States. :"
We are further informed in the same
article that one of the largest of
these packing houses had already
slaughtered 1000 head the present
season, and will still add 1000 more.
The average per day for three weeks
was IT'S, and one day 2lS were killed,
which is believed to be the largest
days work of the sort ever done in
this country" Forty years later,
over 1,6O0, 900 head of cattle were
slaughtered annually in Chicago,
two of the largest houses
each killing an average OF
1000, daily. This marvellous increase
in the business at its principal center
is a fair index of the growth Of the
cattle industry throughout the coun-
try.

THERE was some very sensible talk
at the recent meeting of the Prison
Association in New York in regard to
the treatment Of fallen women. Mrs.
Lowell, who has had long experience
in the treatment of this class, urged
strongly the value of the work in re-
formato.ies where the individuality
of the inmates is respected, but
where the moral influences are as
stringent as they are gentle. She
urged that there was little prospect
of reformation without a training of
the prisoners to work, and impressing
upon them the fact that although
they were women they were not,
therefore, outside the pale of the le-
gal responsibility. Mrs. Jennie
June" Croly sentimentally pleaded
be not outraged by difference of
dress, or by reformatOry restrictions
and enforced work which kept before
them the fact that they are different
from the pure. To this nonsense
Mrs. Lowell answered with profound
good sense that there was no reason
that they should not be reminded of
their condition. Ignoring the facts
did not alter them. She did not be-
lieve in the false sentimentality
which had given woman ground to
suppose that she could shield herself
behind her sex when she had violated
the laws Of God or man. She felt
that any ornamental system Of appar-
ent condonement only ended in n.y.
pocrisy and in nothing which was to
be considered reform. 1t is refresh
ing TO see now and then woman who
can take broad and common-sense
view of a question of this sort, and
Mrs. Lowell is TO be commended for
the stand which she took in this mat
ter.

EVER since the time of the Ala

every possible banquet and on all in

thicker than water, that hands must

the two great English-speaking ma

gree so radically as to quarrel. Yet
for the last quarter of century,
since the time when Blackwood adj
mitted that the success of the Union
monitors had rendered the interven-
tion of England between North and
South impossible, the voice of Eng
land has been against the policy of
this nation. 1t has been lifted in

affirm distinctly American policy
with regard to foreign affairs. If
