6undabout towns, from Oshkosh and
Madison and GAINESVILLE and Racine, all
of which are tributary for Milwaukee,
business. These little towns all offered
to help as far as they could. A telegram
came In from Mayor Washburne, OF
Chicago. The Mayor evidently thought
Milwaukee had Teen shoveied clean of
the earth, for he telegraphed in good
hearted way about Chicago rising from
it's ashes and hoping Milwaukee, would
rise from Milwaukee ashes. These tel
egrams and letters were taken thank
fully but Milwaukee went about help
ing its own people with its own hands.
Milwaukee Raises s31 900.
Hundreds OF business men poured into
the chamber OF commerce building and
almost before President Bacon could
make a talk $3I, 231 had been subscribed.
1t was headed by whaling big check
for $4,000 sent in by the Democratic
candidates for county offices, who are
not rich men; Phil Armour gave So, 900
and said he would give lot more for
his old home; the Brewers Association
subscribed $1,000; Henry G.. Payne,
the Republican committeeman, hand
ed in $1,000, and the same
amount was contributed by Cap
tain Fred Pabst, the Wisconsin Fire and
Marine Insurance Bank, John l.. Mitch
ell, Banker Ilsley, Cudahy Bros,
August Uihlein, +. p. Bacon, and Mr..
Rosseanu. i ong after the meeting
money was rolling in and at o'clock
the fund was estimated at near $4,000
1t continued TO grow until the 100000
mark was passed. That's not enough to
build up one of the ruined warehouses,
but it will make comfortable hundreds OF
homeless Third Ward people. None OF
these was permitted to undergo hard
ship. Every burned-out family was
taken care of somewhere and by some
body. Probably no town was over so
badly cut by a fire to come out so
cheerful and happy as Milwaukee.
The real estate board, which raised a
considerable sum in addition to it's first
dc nation Of $1,000, turned the entire
amount over to the relief committee,
concluding not TO distribute the money
on its own account. One OF the most
substantial contributions for the relief
of the poor came from Frank A. Lappen
IL Co. The firm had sold furniture on
the installment plan TO many OF those
who were burned out and had over

nut is charming under this bonnet II
you are careful TO get just the right
rose color. For brunette, change the
rose color for scarlet, and make the
blonde feel herself beaten on her own
ground. 1t is so nice to beat person
that way.
The familiar hat with twisted brim,
while catchy over some faces, is not be-
coming to all. Such exceptions will
find n welcome suggestion in the hat OF
my fourth cut. The brim rolls evenly
up little near the edge, and is q good
deal wider in front than at the back.
The crown is very small, and narrows
toward the top, after the manner OF the
sugar-loaf crowns. This one Is not alb
surdly h gh, however. That is a charm
OF the model-it is extreme in no way.
The under side OF the br m is light
brown. the upper side and the crown is
dark brown. soft light-brown scarf
is knotted to the front OF the crown, its
loops spreadinI well toward the edge OF
the wide front brim. The ends of the
scarf pass around the crown. One end
ing short, tho OIL or longer, hangs be-
yond the edge of the brim at the back.
Through the knot and the sides dark
brown quill is thrust, the only conces-
sion this pretty hat makes 10 the gem
eral perkiness ef the head-gear just now
fashionable. This stiff | tile feather
only brings out the softness and round
ing lines of the hat.
The fashion OF to-day makes small
provision for the home style OF girl
the little brown sparrow" woman-the
dear, quaint body whom every one
loves, and upon whom the "quarangle
wrangle," sky-reaching kind of hat is
an unthinking sacrilege. Su h a wom-
an does not want to make herself con-
spcuous by keeping TO the little Quaker
bonnets, in which she really looks
sweeter than anybody else in anything
else in the world, and, yet, as | say,
the fash ons make no provision Cor her.
Only now and then; this is one of the
now and thens. Pull back your soft
brown hair under this hat and let your
dear little prim, straight bang hang
down under its rolling brim. All the
pretty home-hearth curves about your
lips and cheeks VII have proper set
ting, and your little straight nose!
Well, there is that feather up there, you
know.
If you are the mother Of a little girl,
put her into this last hat for her winter
school. 1t is dark blue felt. The
band, made as deep rs the crown, is
dark blue grosgrain marked with bright

red satin spots. In the bow at the front
this same ribbon appears tied with a
bright-red satin ribbon. The bow and
short ends at the back are OF the plain
satin The heavy wire that stifens the
edge of the hat is twisted with blue and
bright-red cord. The hat is not sailor,
being little narrower at the back han
it is in front. Such hat is pretty to
start with. 1t will match your little
girls blue dress-a child always has a
blue dress-and you can make her new
dress a combination OF blue and red, a
combination always pretty and service
able. There is one thing about this hat
that will not strike you from Just look
ing at it. Put it on yourself. or
course you would not wear such
hat, you are too old and all that, but
you do look pretty in it, don't you?
And there is no harm in your picking it
up from the hat-rack and putting it on,
just so you won't catch cold. while you
stand at the door waiting for the post
man 10 come fro n across the street, or
something like that. John will like you
in it, too. Maybe he will grunt, and
say, What the deuce will you wear bon
nets for when you look sight prettier
in hats?" or course, John ought not to
talk like that, still il sounds sweet in
your heart to have him say that sort OF
thing. i did not mention the eyes and
hair child should have for such a hat.
Well, between us, anything suits n
child, and dark-bl suits ALL except
some black-haired brunettes. The
bright-red on the hat, however, will
make 1t becoming 10 even them.

Riding through the country on the
railroad you see scattered over the land
scape what in the distance look like two
rows of low. oblong hay stacks running
irregularly for mile or more in one di-
rection. Each of these collections of hay
stacks is Russian village, and when you
get closer to it you see that what you
supposed were hay stacks are matched
huts, and that the lower part of each
stack is made of logs, sundried bricks or
wattled twigs. You now note that the
wide road along which these huts stand
is full of half naked babies, squalling
children and all of the queer characters
of Russian peasant life. The ordinary
village has but one roadway, and this is
more like road cut through the fields
than an American street. 1t is generally
about 100 or more feet wide, and the
houses stand along it at all angles and
with no regularity or order. There are
no gardens in front of them nor be-
hind them. They have no front
yards fenced off from the road and
have not yet seen any sign of sidewalk
of any kind in any village have visited.
The street is not paved and the only part
free from grass is the center, where the
wagons have cut ruts into the black soil
The remainder is u lawn of good solid
turf, on which the cattle Craze, the dogs
and the children play and ;:pon which
the people meet in the evening to gossip
and chat. Now and then you find tree
or so on one of these village streets, and
under these on the ground there may be
a woman with her babies tied to the
branches of the trees in the oblong shall
low boxes which constitute the cradles
of Russia. Other women may be sitting
about, spinning or sewing, and on the
steps of the huts or in the doorways you
will sec old men and shock haired chill
dren.

About Potatoes.

The greatest potato producing State in
the Union is New York, which devotes
to the crop (round numbers being used
in all cases. $40, 600 acres and raises 30,
900, 900 bushels, or fully one-scventh of
the entire crop of the country. Iowa is
second in amount raised-17 600, 600
bushels though its area of 1877, 600 acres
is eclipsed by the 203, 600 acres which
Pennsylvania gives to the raising of 1G-
600, 600 bushels. Illinois comes next,
both in area and quantity of product,
while Wisconsin and Kansas cross each
other for fifth place. The four New
Vermont and Massachusetts, however,
lead the country in the number of BUSH
els produced per acre, the average for the
four States being over 100 bushels an
acre, which is attained by no other State,
except remote Washington, which
promises to become one of the finest
potato growing regions of the world.
1t is thus seen that the cooler climate
of the Northern States is favorable to this
crop, as to many others in the list of
standard food supply. Indeed, the po-
tato, as it is known and appreciated to-day,
cannot be successfully grown for any
length of time in the warmer climates.

that If each woman will wear individ-

houses were burned. Nothing but the
bare walls were standing, while inside
OF them was mass of smoldering
wreckage which occasionally broke out
into bright flames. By night OF Monday
the buildings were nearly all rooted.
At one sine they were forced to quit,
owing TO blaze which broke out in the
south end OF one of the buildings while
they were putting roof on the north
end. An engine was called and the
blaze was soon extinguished.
Insurance men are doing their best
TO settle the trouble for the poorer OF
the sufferers. They are anxious that
all small losses be adiuste as soon as
possible and accordingly special COM
mttee will have such claims In charge.
One incident which has received no at

by the big fire was the burning OF seven
cottages in the southwestern part OF the

were burned out lost everything they
possessed, and they will be included in

Anecdotes of O'Conncll.

In Wendell Phillips "Lectures 4" an
amusing story is told of Daniel O'Connell's
overthrow of the testimony of witness
who swore that he found by murdered
mans body the hat of Mr.. O'Connell's
client. Taking up the hat in court, Mr.
O'Connell, looking inside, spelled out
the name James. "Did you see this
name in the hat?" he inquired of the
witness. Faith l did, when l picked
it up" replied that worthy. Instantly
Mr.. OConnell turned to the Judge.
Your Honor" he said, "tbere is no
name in the hat" Another of the anec-
dotes in the volume tells how Mr.. O'Con-
nell turned the tables on the London
Times. The Times had declared that it
would never allow the Irish agitator's
name to go into its columns, and, there
fore, when he arose to speak in the House of
Commons, the Times reporters threw
down their pencils, folded their arms and
leaned back ut ease. But at once up rose
friend of the orator, and called the at
tention of the speaker to the fact that
there were strangers in the gallery. In
stantly the rule of the House prevailed,
and out the reporters were hustled. Con-
sequently, the Times had no report of
Parliament the next day A little later
"Bull Run" Russell called on Mr.. O'Con-
nell, and, eating humble pie, said the
Times would like to report his speech at
certain meeting. With great cordially
Mr.. O'Connell agreed to allow the report,
invited Mr.. Russell to ride with him in
his carriage to his place of speaking, had
convenient place allotted to him there,
md table and ink brought for his conve-
nience-and proceeded to deliver an elo-
quent Grafton in Irish Argonaut.
