THE SODA WATER TRADE,
1t Has Attained Immense Proportions
Within the Last Few Years.

1t Has Attained Immense Proportions
Within the Last Few Years.
The soda trade has grown 30 enor.
mously, " said druggist the other day,
that 1t has become business in itself.
1t Is not so many years since the equip
ment for the serving of soda in drug
stores consisted Of q zinc-lined box, in
which was block Of ice wrapped in q
blanket and few bottles OF syrups,
Now, the smallest drug store boasts of
marble fountain and complete outfit
Tor the proper serving Of soda and min
eral waters, while in the large estab-
1ishments are to be seen fountains and
their accessories that range In cost
from 81 200 to $4,000.
In the beginning one of the prescrip-
ton clerks attended to the occasional
calls for soda. Now we employ four
men, who are practically 'barkeepers,'
Tor they have made study OF the art
OF mixing drinks from q soda fountain,
and who receive wages commensurate
with their skill and experience. Dur
Ing hot weather We use tons Of ice each
day and consume gallons Of syrups, and
at the height OF the season it is not un.
usual for US to serve 5000 persons in .
day. A record Of our sales shows that
during July Of last year we sold 80, 900
glasses OF soda, irrespective OF the nu-
@erous other drinks dispensed from
the fountain. The list Of plain and
fancy mixed drinks that we prepare In
cludes almost 100, ranging from plain
SOFA water to Siberian dip"

sny other time by substituting velvet for
the crepe trimming. The other street
costume of the same picture has it's
skirt of dark-brown cloth trimmed only
at the hem with narrow flounce. The
pretty cape is trimmed with three rows
OF otter fur, as is the deep collarette.
The Medici collar is warmf lined with
the same fur.
Dark blue, quite the usual yachting
shade, is combined with dull grass
green for the street, and in many in
stances in most extraordinary fashion.
Only that the green is too evidently q
new color to permit anyone for a mo-
ment to imagine that the gown was
other than a fresh inspiration of the
latest craze, it would be supposed that
the girl had made some awful mistake.
AS for instance, gown OF blue rough
cloth is made quite plain with q full
gored skirt. Over this is worn q Rus
sian blouse bodice of the green cloth,
the skirts coming we'll down and not
buttoning below the waist line. Over
the blouse is worn an Elton Jacket of
the blue cloth, cut short in the back
and front, and hanging loose and open
with little revers at the collar. If the

the gown would be recognized as Just
a little outing affair, but that cannot
be suspected either, because as the
girl steps up the high curb the blue
skirt is lined, as far as you can see.
with green silk to match the green
bodice affair. So it must be all right,
you decide, and sigh with wonder.
Iallor-made gowns are being carried
out in the most severe lines, the only
concession to the present mode being
in the gored skirt, but no exaggeration
OF effect is allowed there even. The
bodice fits as atailor-made must, with
out wrinkle. It is double-brea ,ted
and has coat collar revers which are no
more pronounced than those on a mans
coat. The finish Of the gown is in all
ways like that on mans suit. Mas
culine collar, tie and cuffs are worn
and soft felt hat. The material
cheyiot, in solid black or dark mixture.
Every effort is made to render the
gown conspicuous for absolute simplic-
lty and freedom from all exaggeration
OF style. 1t is, perhaps, unnecessary
to say that such gown costs about
three times the usual ornate and fiddle
dee-dee gown, and that proportion gen.
orally holds between the cost of a thing
which is elegantly simple and one
which is simply elegant"
Pretty capes are shown in bewilder-
ing variety, and two pretty velvet ones
are sketched in the final two pictures.
The first Of these is in black velvet
lined with pink silk. Rows of small
jet ornaments hide each seam of the
narrow breadths of velvet, and the
epaulettes and collar are profusely
trimmed with passementerie. A let
ball fringe finishes the cape's edge.
The epaulettes come over to fasten at

A Fable for Hard Times.

Once upon time two frogs who
had teen living in comfort and ease
in cool pool of water were acct
dentally scooped up by a pious milk
man in bucket Of water. which he
poured into his can in order to give
his milk more body, and thereby in
crease his revenue. The frogs were
astonished to find themselves in an
unknown element, in which it was
not possible to support life, and they
had to kick vigorously in order to
keep their heads above the milk. One
OF them, being disheartened by being
shut up in the dark in an element
entirely new to him, said: "Let's
give it up and 20 to the bottom; it's
no use kicking any longer" The
other said: ''Oh, no; let's keep kick
ing as long as we can, and see what
the outcome will be. Maybe things
will change presently" So one frog
gave up and went to the bottom. The
other kept kicking, and when the
pious milkman got to town and opened
his can, behold the frog had kicked
ont a lump Of butter large enough to
float him and he was sitting on it
very comfortably.
Moral.--1n hard times never give
up, but keep kicking. Age of Steel.

Dautory OF the en-
envy close at hand, and both shell and
shot were flying thick and fast, when
the commander of the battery, a Ger
man, one of Fremont's staff, rode sud-
denly up to the cavalry, shouting in
loud and excited tones:
"Pring up de shackasses, pring up
de shackasses, for Cot sake, hurry up
de shackasses i'm Immediately
The necessity of this order, though
not quite apparent to the reader, will
be more obvious when it is mentioned
that the "shackasses" were mules car
rying mountain howitzers, which are
fired from the backs of those much
abused but valuable animals; and the
immediate occasion for the "shackasses"
iii this exigency was that two regi-
ments of the Confederate infantry
were at that moment discovered de-
scending hill Immediately behind the
Federal batteries. The "shackasses"
with the howitzers loaded with grape
and canister, were soon on the ground.
The mules squared themselves. as they
well knew how, for the shock. A ter
rifle volley was poured into the ad-
vancing column, which Immediately
broke and retreated. Nearly three
hundred dead bodies were found in the
ravine the next day, the effects of that
volley from the backs of the shack
asses"

Growing Walnuts,

l succeed by planting or placing in
piles with the hulls on, not more than
two layers thick, cover with dirt one
to two inches, and tine action of
frost, of freezing and thawing will
cause them to crack; then plant in
early spring in nursery rows three
feet six inches apart, cultivate one
year and then plant where they are
to remain. But my best success has
been obtained by planting the seed
where l want the tree. Plant the
nuts in the fall where you want the
tree, with stake at each nut. to
show where planted. Cultivate and

walnut being more sensitive that

Roots in Tile Drains.

Some striking instances are given
in the New England Farmer Of the
choking Of water courses and tile
drains by the roots of trees. In these
cases the roots entered at the joints
between the pieces Of tile. To pre-
vent this clogging it is regarded as
important to make the bitches
straight, so that the tiles will come
in close contact at the enda There
is no doubt that it may he we'll to
lay the joints in lime cement when
trouble is expected. The Importance
of packing the earth we'll around the
tile to prevent it from becoming dis
placed in filling should be we'll under
stood. The roots of willows are
found to be specially troublesome,
and have spoiled the value Ut wells
seriously obstruct the flow of water.
Most of the tile that is manufac-
tured is sufficiently porous to admit
the entrance OF water through the
sides when the Joints are closed with
cement II the nature of the ground
prevents making the drains perfectly
straight very long curves should be
resorted to, which will allow the
ends of the tile to be brought into
close contact. The writer of the
article which we have referred to,
who appears to have examined many
cases. says that however formidable
the roots Of willows have proved, he
has known no instances where roots
from fruit trees have. proved seriously
troublesome; and he urges special
reason why drains should be straight
beside that given in that crooked

to settle at the crooks and eventually
to choke the drain entirely.

Women now are excessively careful
that their house gowns shall harmon
ize with their rooms. A well-known
society woman always sends her Dress
makers sample of the curtains hang
ing in the reception re ON in which the
dress ordered is to be worn. Even lit
tie breakfast gowns are carefully Sc
lected to harmonic with whatever the
scheme OF color may be in the dining
room. 1t is even said that one youn9
lady insisted that her fiance should give
her full information about the plans
for furnishing the house in which he
intended to receive her, contending
that otherwise she should not dare se-
lect any OF her more elaborate gowns.

the regions OF Mississippi in the year
1864. One of my comrades had been
promoted to an Office in the United
States army known as corporal" land
perhaps many soldiers can still recall
the dignity of that Office, at least 1
cau.) Well, said comrade was good,
clever citizen before his enlistment,
but like many of us did not nnpossess
very much of this worlds goods; but
like had managed to secure six young
calves which he worked to small
sled. He had been Boosting consid-
cradle about his team, and one of our
boys who was rather rough. and who
afterwards deserted, made fun of our
highly esteemed corporal and it was
SD provoking that he made an appeal
to the Captain for redress. The Cap
tain ordered Lucas put under guard,
and in order to punish him and main
tain the corporal's dignity he placed
the offender on beat to carry rail,
and the corporal to guard him, and
see that he walked according to or
ders: but the mouth of the offender
was not stopped and as they marched
off he began to mark time for the cor
poral saying, cleft, left, haw-buck,
gee-buck" and at the end of the beat
he said "woah, haw around, git up"
and turning around the rail would
take the corporal "whack" over the
head and shoulders. This was more
than humanity could endure and an
other appeal was made to the Captain
who sought other means to punish the
offender which taught him to never
make fun of u mans poverty, and the
corporal's dignity was maintained.
