by way of protest against the mani
fest inconvenience of wearing a long and
trailing skirt on the highway an asso-
citation of sensible young women in Not
tingham, England, have adopted the
fashion of short petticoats for their walks
abroad. The women Of England are
persuading fashionable tailors to mako
short costumes for their outdoor expedi-
tons natty and trim and finished with a
facing of soft leather, easily cleansed
when splashed. This costume requires
a well fitting boot, since it necessarily
leaves the foot exposed to view. 1t is to
be hoped that the day of short skirts for
outdoor wear will soon dawn for all
healthy women
For the drawing room nothing is SO
beautiful as the trained skirt. 1t con-
veys with it the traditions of tle past
when queens stepped proudly over palace
floors. Every fair woman is a queen In
her own right, and her sweeping gar
ments emphasize her stateliness in the
bouae. But on sloppy city street or an
abysmal rural road what so forlorn as
the lady clutching frantically at her dig
nifty and the hem of her best gown and
vainly trying to keep up with her more
fortunate brother or husband in the race
of life?
We must admit that the Nottingham
reformers are trifie in advance of what

apt to be little too radical. Neverthe-
less we congratulate them on their cour-
age and their common sense, longing as
we do to see thousands emulating their
example here in free America. II arper's

grow the crops here that bring the
best paying results. The evenings were
spent in discussing matters incident to
Iarm life. Among other things asked
george l. was what was the yield of
tomatoes here per acre. He replied s
TO 10 tons. They told him that they
wouldn't grow them for such a weld as
that. How much do you grow George
asked? The reply was from 15 to %
tons. That was somewhat of a stun
her, out one man, Mr. Carpenter.
said his yield this year was 17J tons
per acre, which was to him nothing to
brag OF, as he had never before had a
growth of less than 20 tons on an acre
This led Mr.. T. to inquire their method
OF tertilizing, and he wasn't so much
surprised at the result when he found
they would put as much manure on

covering his whole farm.

How a Town Man Traded with
a Farmer.

One OF our citizens who is known to
be quite a trader, not that he makes a
living at it, but for the novelty bar
ter affords, and like other men who
take hand in such things. would Of
course rather be on the winning than
the losing side. In his trading around
ne had become the possessOr of two
sows. This species of farm stock is
very valuable now to farmers since the
great rise in the price of pork the
the past season, but did not suit a resi-.
dent OF the town SO well, so he con
cluded he would rather have a fresh
COW and calf as more suitable to- his
needs. The next thing was to carry
this very good idea into effect. and he
was not long about it, as the SEQUEL
will show.

The trade was satisfactorily made

owner that the COW was an old "strin.

for the family, did not even give
enough for the calf. Not resting
pleasantly under the jibes of his friends
for tho way he had been taken inn in
the trade, he returned to the farmer

SINCE the assassination of Mayor
Carter Harrison. of Chicago, under
such peculiarly atrocious circumstances
the crop of cranks has multiplied won
derfully and men of public affairs have
received many threatening communi-
cations. The Washington Post gives
warning that cranks of every descrip-
ton may look for a warm reception
after they land in Washington,
and says that suspicious movements on
the part of irresponsible looking
strangers will mean prompt arrest and
incarceration for the individual. 1t is
not believed that there is serious reason
to apprehend any attempted violence
against officers of the government, but
it is none the less considered wise to
take the ounce of prevention that out
weighs the pound of cure.
