Recently Soule sold the bridges. rails.

Purchasers proceeded to take up tbs
iron and other material. The railroad
commissioners say that Judge Abbott
has enjoined the contractors from dis
turbing the track on application of cit
liens of Gray county. who claim that
the road was built for public use.
Soule and his assignees claim that as
the public contributed nothing to build
the road it has no right to interfere and
he may do as he pleaTes with it. The
people of Gray county claim that rail
road once built the public has certain
inalienable rights in it. and it must on
that account always be maintained and
operated.

Writing Business Letters.

Business letters should be short
and to the point, writes Elisabeth
Robinson ScOVil in a helpful ar
ticle on "The art of Letter Writ
ing" in the May Lady's HONS Jour-
nal. In ordering articles state as
nearly as possible exactly what is
wanted. If the price is known
mention it, and write the amount
required clearly. 1t is trying to
receive a gross when one intended
to purchase a single thing, or vice
versa.
Friendly letters should be full of
details, telling all the interesting
little facts one friend would ask
another if they could sit down,
side by side, to talk. Bits of news
that seem very trivial to the send
er are often welcomed with JOY by
the recipient. Do not grudge a
little time and pains to keep those
nearest and dearest to you in touch
with your daily life, even though
you are widely separated.

Fashion Drift.

Pearl gray is said to be one of
the coming cOlOrs.
The round, half low neck is
liked for dancing dresses for young
ladies.
Short cOrsets are absolutely nee
essary with the prevailing style of
dress. They are also more comfort
able and more graceful than the
long ones.
The fluctuations of fashion have
not affected the popularity of the
ZOuaVe in the least. 1t will be
more worn than ever this summer.
The ZouaVe coats are chiefly cut
square, made of cloth and very lit
tie trimmed. Zouave jackets for
afternoon wear are of silk and of
velvet, close-fitting at the back,
rounded off in front to show the
waist and adorned with jet. The
most dressy ZOuave jacket is that
made entirely of passementerie
with imitation jewels or black jets
inserted between the tiny silken
cords tracing out the pattern.
Bonnet trimmings are somewhat
after the perpendicular order; lace,
ribbon or braid loops standing
erect, sometimes at the front of the
bonnet, sometimes at the back, and
in number of models almost eX-
actly in the middle. Wide ribbons
are much liked for trimming. They
are made into Stand-up, double
Topped, flat or AlSatian bows, and
are used in prOfusiOn. A few feath-
ers are seen on bOnnets, and these
with mixture of velvet flowers,
will be worn probably during the
the entire summer. Velvet flowers
are, for the most part, very fine,
such as fOrget-me-nOts and arbutus
Silk and muslin flowers are shown
in the most exquisite qualities
indeed, it seems as though nature
were at last to find a rival in art
and that we could go to the MILL
ner for everything in the floral
world, except the perfume.

Household Hints.

Sheets should be u yards wide
and y yards long after they are
hemmed.
The skins of new potatoes can be
removed more quickly with stiff
vegetable brush than by. scraping.
When putting away saucepans,
pots and boilers, do not put the
lids On closely, or they will retain
the heavy Odor of cookery.
To revive and brighten leather
wash it with a little warm water
and very soft cloth, and after
wards brush it over with the
whites of eggs whipped to a light
frOth.
Articles of food that are damp or
juicy should never be left in paper.
Paper is merely a compound of
rags, glue, lime and similar sub
stances, with acids and chemicals
intermiXed, and when damp is I'M
fit to touch things that are to be
eaten.
Table-cloths should be folded
only for ironing, and that length
wise. They should be irOned with
a heavy hot iron until perfectly
dry, and there is then no danger of
a rumpled appearance afterward.
They should be quite damp and
free from starch. Fold them loosely
crOsswise, without ironing, and
these folds will be easily smoOthed
out with the hand, leaving no
crease but the middle one.
