WRAPS FOR SPRING.
They Are Very Natty and Pretty-Son
Pleasing Examples.

They Are VERY Natty and Pretty-SOme
Pleasing Examples.
Furs and winter coats have not as
yet become very cumbersom, but the
necessity for spring wraps is inevita-
bic. and the heavy garments must soon
be discarded for the lighter ones. With
so much to choose from the want need
not be a troublesome one. In fact, the
one redeeming point in fashion is it's
elasticity. If one is ingenious and care
full to preserve the general outline of
amplitude, which at present is the spe-
cial method IN designing, almost any
thing can be made to look stylish.
Everything in wraps is worn, from a
mannish little cloth coat, which looks
like coachman's coat adapted to the
female form, to the most elaborate
mantle of silk and velvet and glisten-
ing beads, and long-fitted garments of
silk which reach to the bottom of the
skirt. These have eapes of velvet,
handsomely trimmed.
Mantels are short, and jet and velvet
are the favorite materials for these,
which will be cheerful bit of infor-
nation to those who had velvet capes
last year.
A stylish black velvet coat has
double cape around the shoulders, the
upper one being of MORE, trimmed
with jet. The capes are open in the
back, the moire bows have long ends
which tie in front.-N. Y. Sun.

CAME WITH SPRING.

A sEvEN-GoRED skirt, fitting closely
at the waist-line, spreads in umbrella
fashion and has band of garniture at
the hem.
FOLDED collars and belts are quite as
much in favor as heretofore. Some of
these have falls of lace attached. This
is very pretty way of finishing a
plain waist.
THE full bertha of lace is an old fash
ion that has become very popular. The
lace is set on in almost round yoke
shape and falls nearly to the waist-line
back and front.
DRESS reform is running wild, and
most of the models are so supremacy
ridiculous that no woman of sensitive
temperament would be seen in one I'M
der any circumstances.
A COSTUME of brown cloth has TN
eighteen-inch band of Russian sable at
the lower edge. Handsome. of course,
but expensive and very heavy. This,
however, does not seem to count.

and laying the foundation of grand
system of county roads. l may state
that this county is about two-thirds
black prairie and the balance mountain
land. The black land furnishes a good
dry weather road, but bad and often
impassabl one in wet weather. The
mountain roads are rough but never
closed to travel, and do not give the
travellers much trouble. Road improve
ment is, therefore, confined to our black
mud lanes. For some years the county
has owned a number Of scrapers, mule
teams, plows, etc, which We're used for
road purposes, but the controlling pow
err seemed content to do small repairs
and had no plan of road-making.
Now, we have good grading ma
chine, drawn by twelve mules, which
excavates the soil on the sides and
dumps it in the middle of the road.
leaving good bitches = We have
also got stone crushing machine,
driven by steam power, for converting
rock into road metal.
"Our mountain formation is lime
stone, well adapted for road material
in this climate, where we never have
frost to swell and h.ave as in more
northern climates There is
plenty of good material being used, in
deed more than plenty, in fact more
than double the amount necessary.
Our roads are being covered with
crushed stone to depth of twelve to
eighteen inches, according to the vary
ing formation of the surface. This is
not thoroughness, but waste. Macad-
Of foria1
thicker than six or eight inches, the
exception being the near approach to
large cites, where the traffic was con-
tinuous and heavy If six
inches of road metal ever made good
and durable road, it would do so where
they are now depositing eighteen
inches
"That is where the waste comes. By
this management we are now getting
but one mile of road where we should
have two and a half, and that of a bet
ter quality n n The chief item of
cost where convict labor and steam
crushers are used is for hauling. Our
farmers are arranging to do this volun-
tarily by weekly turns 1t
seems to me if the farmers in our
black land counties would unite in this
matter and press it upon their county
representatives, instead of clamoring
and demanding impossible concessions
from paternal government. they
would be doing more to improve their
condition and advance the prosperity
of their class
Any comment on the foregoing
seems to us to be unnecessary. 1t
shows conclusively that the work OF
improving American roads is much
harder in contemplation than in reali-
cation; and, although necessarily a
work of considerable magnitude, it
must be apparent to the thoughtful
mind that the same character of ener-
gy, persistence and intelligence which
has produced such stupendous results
in the development of other branches
of our internal improvements, must
eventually give to this country con-
dition of public highways which will
more fttingly represent its advanced
civilization.-GoodR Roads

Three and half miles west of

Three and a half miles west of
Aide, Loudoun county, Va, is the To-
cally famous ''black swamp" and a
strange story has been current there
abouts for the better part of this CEN
fury. Jesse McVeigh lived long ago in
an old stone house on the edge of the
swamp, and there came to him once a
stranger asking shelter. The stranger
was taken in and he lived there for
five years. He never went beyond the
pond for exercise, and he took Ella borate
precautions at night to guard against
surprise. When he died a stranger from
neighboring village came and claimed
the body, protesting to recognize the
dead man as an acquaintance. The
stranger who claimed the body was
the dead mans son, and he afterward
became chief justice of the United
States supreme court. The man, a
wealthy and educated Marvlander, but
a man of ungovernable temper, had
slain a guest at his own table by
breaking his skull with decanter.
The homicide's place of hiding was
hardly more than fifty miles from the
scene of his crime.

INDUSTRIAL AND STATISTICAL

THERE were 1,056 persons killed in
accidents in and about coal mines in
Great Britain during last year, an in
crease of 40 over the record for 1892.
IT has been generally stated at meet
ings of the unemployed in Vienna that
there are $4,000 homeless workers and
TO- 600 vacant dwellings in the Austrian
capital at the present time.
A LARGE deposit of bituminous coal
has been found in Mexico convenient
to the railway and the national capt.
tai. Fuel for locomotives will be re-
duced from twenty dollars ton to
five dollars.
STATISTICS collected by the Manu-
facturers' Record show that there are
now in the south 406 cotton mills, with
9. 7G3. S79 spindles and go. 052 looms. The
capital invested is estimated at S97,-

RED ROSE, Dexter-Kerry COW be-
longing to Mr.. Martin Sutton, of Eng
land, is reported to have produced
9,316 pounds of milk in twelve months.
The weight of the cow is only 7G2
pounds, or less than one-twelfth Of
that of her annual yield of milk.
AGRICULTURAL cooperation appears
to be very successful in New Zealand.
At the recent annual meeting of the
Auckland Farmers Cooperative asso-
citation the annual report showed net
profit of more than $1,000, equal to
thirty per cent. on the paid-up capital.
