Satin and MORE are both much used at
present, satin being the more serviceable OF
the two unless the best quality Of MORE is
purchased. Since independent waists have
obtained such vogue, a black silk or satin
skirt is almost desideratum, as it may APP
propriately accompany house or a theater
bodice or be worn with one Of the full
skirted coats now so fashionable. Satin
faced veIvets and plushes-for plush is
again forcing its way to the front-are often
nsed for coats and capes, as the satin back
does away with the necessity for lining.
Brocade is Of course equally appropriate
for these garments. The coats are cut with
the umbrella skirt one with the bodice, or
the skirt may be sewed On just below the
waist line. Revers are an almost invaria-
bile feature. Passementerie jet and lace are
the favorite trimmings, with large buttons
for the coat itself and small ones to match
for the sleeves. These buttons come IN
painted porcelain, steel and mother OF pearl
and are also used TO ornament skirts.
Many coats have double or treble basques,
but the single skirted variety is less stiff
and more becoming to most persons. A

SKIRT AND COAT COSTUME.
handsome coat seen the other day was OF
ruby velvet trimmed with lowered brocade
Of a pink,sh tone. A jabot of ivory lace
completed the conrtly effect in this case,
and nothing could be more fitting for a
dress occasion.
A plain, close vest is eminently proper,
however, especially for ordinary use, or the
oDcning may be concealed by plastron.
Indeed the coat, simple or elaborate. suits
itself to all the exigencies of life in these
DAYS and seems to be firmly fixed in popu-
lar favor.
An illustration ia given Of visiting cos
tune composed of a satin skirt and velvet
coat The skirt is of walking length and
perfectly plain, but the coat is more elabo-
rate, having wide collarette of brocade,
which crosses in front and is fastened at
the left side of the waist under bow and
sash OF the same material. The velvet
sleeves are tight below the elbow, but have

so much hard work accomplished is a
matter of pride with every true graduate
of Vermont University.
To the credit Of American scientists 1t
is said that the first fruitful investiga
tions of the influence Of the nerves upon
the proper nutrition Of the body were
made by Prof Edward Z. Phelps, NJ. D.,
LII. D., while active professor in the
Dartmouth Medical School and the lect-
ure in Vermont University Medical De-
partment.
These researches havs since been car
ricd on in Europe; but the result by far
the most valuable from all these labors is
| Prof. Phelps' discovery Of the prescrip-
tiOn thai has COM to be known as Paine
celery compound.
Now and then discovery like this one
is so greatly in advance of its day that II
startles the whole body Of conservative
physicians. No great remedy ever caused
as much talk and inquiry as Paine's eel
| cry compound Scientific men IN this
country aud il Europe have aAalTzed
ana discussed it, and the medical world
| has agreed in recommending it as truly
remarkable remey for disorders origin
mating in impure blood and impoverished

COTTON NO LONGER KING.
WHAT A PROSPEROUS WEBSTER
FARMER is DOING
-
Fields Now Green with Waving
Wheat 5and Oats-~Six
Hundred Hogs

huhUEcW mugs
Mr.. w. p. lowers, the erstwhiIe cot
ton king of Webster and, one of the
largest and most successful planters in
Georgia, was in Americus few days
ago and told the Recorder of his losses
by the recent freeze. Like every
progressive farmer, Mr.. lowers crops
were we'll advanced, and his loss by the
freeze was considerable.
Besides oats and wheat Mr.. lowers
had several hundred acres of corn up
and growing finely, every stalk of which
was killed to the roots. He has already
replanted about 500 acres in corn and
hopes yet to secure good yield.
Mr.. lowers has turned his attention
largely to stock raising, and instead Of
growing cotton at loss he will raise
hogs and beeves at aprof1t. Last year
he saved enough meat to supply his
plantation for twelve months. He now
has drove of 900 hogs on his farm in
Webster, and will kill at least $50 fat
porkers next winter.
Think of Georgia farm IF with 600
big and little h,gs roofing in his fields
and meadows, $50 of which will be fat
enough to kill This winter. Gun Texas
beat that? Does farming pay in Geor-
gia?
Mr.. lowers has full corn cribs as well
as full smoke house, but is feeding his
hogs ON peas just now, of which he
saved nearly !, 900 bushels of last years
crop. Besides hogs he has any number
of beautiful e'sey COWS as we'll as other
fine cattle, and already he finds that
stock raising is not only easier bat far
more profitable than raising cotton and
boarding free negroes.
Where he once devoted hundreds of
acres to cotton culture, tMr. lowers now
has green fields of wheat and oats, be-
sides the large acreage planted in corn.
He has by no means abandoned cotton,
but that staple lis no longer king on his
plantation and the hog and hOminy
question has full sway.
