more moderate than those seen on the

most marked departure was a widely
1arng one; and behold that came next.
After while ideas failed US, and we be-
gan to modify bit by bit, degree by de-
gree. Shoulder puffs fell little, so did
collars. Skirts gathered themselves to-
gether somewhat, particularly about the
hips. Revers grew less aggressive, and
womanhood began to take on something
of the semblance of woman.
Now everything moves slowly.
Worth is undecided. So is all Paris.
No one ventures on a radical departure,
no one is very sure what will come next.
Some one whispers, skirts will fare
little more. Another sleeve puffs will be
bigger; and so on. But no one steps forth
with a new fashion. or the revival of an
old one. Perhaps it is because so many
futile attempts have been made these
past few seasons. Both the hoopskirt
and the draped skirt were received with
scant courtesy, and neither was uour-
ished and cherished by society. Or it
NAV be that the creators of fashion re-
gard their victims with some compla-
cency, as they have appeared these
summer days, and dislike to destroy the
rather harmonious effect the present
walking costume produces.

TRAVELLING IN TUBES.
Boston's New Elevated Trains Will
Run on a Single Rail.

Boston's New Elevated Trains viii
Run on a Single Rail.
The Meigs system will be used, says a
Boston dispatch in the New York Com
mercial Gazette, referring to the new 81. y
road the Hub is to have. Posts will rise
about 46 feet apart along the curbing.
These will be square, having but Is inches
TO obstruct light on the four sides. There
VIII be II feet in the clear below where
the supporting wheels strike the track
at an angle of As. Forty-two inches
above this, balance wheels, 40 inches in
diameter, will run along the side of the
rail, but at right angles to its upper sur
face. This will give the appearance of a
when the train is coming along, but
after 1t has passed an upright post with
two shoulders near the top simply the
width Of an ordinary track viii remain.
According to Capt. Meigs light girders
will extend across from the posts. These,
he explained, will not be as large as
shown in the cut, and would not exclude
the sun TO any perceptible degree AT
the same time these girders would per-
init OF four trains being run by supple
menting two extra tracks.
So much for the superstructure Now
for the train that is to run over it. This,
as planned, is to consist of an engine 20
feet in length, tender IS feet in length
and six cars 66 feet long, each of which
will be capable of seating l04 persons.
The entire train in designed to be cyl
indrical in shape. In explaining this,
Capt Meigs said
In the first place there is big saving
In light for property owners along the
line. The rays will strike past
the sides of the cars and
go directly to stores and Offices IN
derneath. Then, there is the saving in
material and consequent cost of buildings
Again, there is a saving Of 80 per cent of
the pressure on the track with the wind
against the sides of the car.
AT the same time, t." said Capt. Meigs,
I'VE can get an inside easurement of 8
feet inches in hight by 10 feet inches
in width. When the big rounding plat
forms that will permit the entire car to
be emptied in twenty-five seconds are
taken into consideration, the benefits Of
cylindrical cars will be appreciated"
Besides the regular windows there will
be a line of ''skylights' with curtains to
keep out the sun. These will furnish
light to the center row OF seats that will
have serpeltine line Of backs or, in other
words, will be arranged on the tete-a-tete
plan. The other seats will run the length
of the cars, instead of crosswise.
In speaking of the power to run his
trains, Capt. Meigs said THE trains can
be run by compound air or by electricity,
but on my road they viii be run by steam.
My locomotives are all incased in cars,
and there will be little noise and no dust
or dirt"
In brief, the Meigs plan contemplates
crrs of the same shape as the tank cars
that are familiar TO every one who rides
on railways These will run on a single
rail by means of wheels resting on lever
projecting from the superstructure.

as to what the winter will bring forth
and the models thus far received merely
suggest the few changes mentioned Two
demi season toilets, that bear a French
stamp, are quite simple. The skirt of one
has novelty in the way Of a slight slash
at each side of the front, beginning in a
point and widening out very little as il
descends. 1t has also three rows of
stitching at the bottom. It's material is a
grayish fawn covert, with the slash show
ing dead white cloth between. The bodice
fits tightly into the waist, trimmed with
two narrow nip rufles that show white
silk lining. A pretty bow of white nous
seine de sole lies between the revers.
The other is dark green, with trim
mings of handsome brown MORE, heavy
brown guipure, and tiny pearl edging, in
black. The guipure forms two bands on
the skirt, edged top and bottom with the
pearls. The entire front is also of the
brown lace, while the revers which fall
over, and which produce a jaboted, Jacket
effect below, are faced with the moire
and edged with the pearls A stock
collar is also of MORE.
Everybody isn't back yet by any means
In fact, to be precise, some people haven {
yet started on their vacations. They are
the people who prefer the city for a sum

cool evenings Of early fall have set in.

FEATHER EALING.
Causes of the Perniciaas Habit and How
 It May Be Avoided.

Causes of the Pernicioas Habit and How
 It May Be Avoided.
 Want of occupation is one of the chief causes of hens learning to eat feathers. For want of something to do they peck at the feathers on one another, and soon develop taste for them. If the practice is not soon stopped it will become contagious, and will continue until the weather is fine enough for the birds to go out side. The best method of prevention is to give the fowls plenty of occupa- tion. If the floor of the fowlhouse is of earth it should be dug over and made fine, and the food fed scattered over it. This will give the birds some work to do to obtain all the grain and food, and in scratching over the ground searching for it they will get plenty of exercise.
 Where the floor is of cement or other solid material, straw scattered over it will give the poultry plenty of work to scratch in it to find their food. Plenty of vegetable food should also be given. If cabbages can be spared, one should be hung up in the house for the birds to pick at. Where these are not forth. coming, turnips, mangels or clover hay, cut fine, will do very well. Meat scraps are also good, and little salt mixed in the food will be found advan. tageous.
 Close confinement and overcrowding are other causes that conduce to feather eating. The former cannot al- ways be avoided in a protracted and severe winter. Still, there are gen. erally some days when the poultry can be turned out for a run, even during severe winter, for an hour or two, Overcrowding, however, can be avoid ed. It is better when dividing the flock to keep the bullets separate from the older hens. When thus di- vided, if these latter have acquired any bad habits, the younger birds will not have the opportunity to learn them from them, which they prob ably would if they were running to- gether.
 When once an old bird has learned to eat feathers it is almost hopeless to attempt a cure, and the best method of proceeding is to terminate her ex- istence. Every possible precaution, therefore, should be taken to prevent birds acquiring the habit The habit may be acquired among fowls confined in sumner time as well as in winter if they are not kept busy and provided with plenty of exercise and green food.-N. I. World.

 For rabbits this trap is most effect. I've when placed at the end of tile or small culvert, but it can be used with good effect in any path or place where they run. For quails or other feath- cred game some corn or other grain may be scattered around and on it to serve as bait. Unlike others this trap must be buried in the ground or snow, which fact renders it less of an obstruction to the wary game.-Carl E. Swanson, in Orange Judd Farmer.

THE Erie Canal cost the State of
New York $44, 465, Ala and Captain
De Puy, who has given many years
study to canal improvement and
transportation, claims that if the
State will now complete the improve
ments recommended by Engineer
Seymour in 1881, to dredge it out
another foot and lengthen the locks,
which will cost only SO, 500, 900, the
canal will be able to carry all the
grain of the Northwest at rates that
could not be touched by the rail
roads, BY this improved method of
canal transportation steamer or an
electric boat could push one canal
boat and pull two more, and with a
continuous train, such as the canal
would accommodate, there could be
transported 30, 6S5, 920 bushels of
grain every day, or 6,444, 043, 200
bushels in the 2l0 days Of canal navi-
cation each year. The cost of trans
portation would be reduced to about
a quarter of mill per ton per mile

Doing Awnx with Pastures.

A. B. Barrett thinks that good
farmers will soon adopt soiling al
most exclusively in place Of pastur-
age. That steadier supply of food
can thus LIE provided is unQuestioned.
Pasturing is wasteful. whether there
is abundance Of feed or not Mr..
Bartlett believes that with good soil
ing one and half or two acres Of
good rich land can be made to furnish
feed for a COW whole year, but in
pasturing five acres are required for
summer and one for hay for winter
feed. The saving in this is quite evil
dent, especially where the tax on
every acre amounts to considerable.
Now, in the fall, is the time to be-
gin soiling, and to do it properly
preparations should be mace 50 that
the first feeding can be made in April
and steadily thereafter Winter rye is
the first crop that should be planted.
This should be put in in October or
at the latest November, With good
preparations of the soil and good seed
ing the rye should take a steady
growth as soon as the first signs Of
spring appear The clover or grass
seeds must be sown, too, and the rye
will last until the grass is ready to
grow up for eating. Glover or orchard
grass seeds must be sown, too, for
they give an abundance of good, rich,
food. Early corn must be planted as
soon as possible in the spring, and by
the time the clover Or orchard grass
gives out the green corn should be
ready for eating to take up the sue
cession. Meanwhile the second plant
ing of rye has been attended to, and
wien the corn gives out the rye will
be ready for fall food.
Thus, all through the summer, a
succession of green crops has been
supplied to the COWS, and with lit
tie preparation in another line, the
same can be continued through the
winter Either beets or mangels, or
silage should be grown for winter
feeding, and this will complete the
year.
To grow all of these crops consider
able planning is required, but after
the succession is once p acticed 1T is
not a difficult matter to follow and
improve upon it. Every available
space of land must be util d.-Hart.

it is doubtful if such hogs are as
profitable as those that are Of medium

affected with anthracnose pits, and
spray the plantation with Bordeaux
mixture.
FARMERS are rapidly learning that
the best way to rest land is to keep
it actively at work between sale

Skim Milk Cheese.

There is a great outcry in some
quarters against either making or
selling cheese from which any of the
cream has been removed, YET it is
true that If all the butter fats of rich
milk are left in it when they 90 into
the vat all above / per cent. go
into the whey and are lost The
practice Of many good farmers in
making cheese for their own use is
to skim each alternate mess of milk
u hours after setting Tn s with
milk in the pan would leave a good
deal Of cream to rise. Such skim
milk was mixed with the new milk
of the next mess. Cheese thus made
was az rich and as good favored as if
a greater portion of cream was left to
be thrown to the pigs, because the
cheese could absorb no more. 1t is
fraudulent practices OF different and
worse sort than these that have
brought American cheese into disre.
