authorities, though anxious to assist
them to the utmost, could find employ
ment for only limited number.
But it is the great body of Southern
women who, in obscurer capacities, bore
their full share of the burdens of the
time,
Unknown to fame. but not to woe,

From the very beginning of the war the
resources of the Confederate government
in the way OF clothing the troops were
inadequate, and rapidly grew more so.
Even after each State in it's separate
capacity had done al! that it could, a
large deficiency had to be made up by
private effort, which meant by the efforts
of the women, for before the end of 1861
nearly all adult males were in the army
Indeed, but for the constant supply of
clothing from this source it would have
been impossible for the Southern armies
to pass through the last two winters of
the war.
As soon as the home people realized
that it would not be thirty days war
nor even a sixty or ninety days one,
earnest endeavOrs were made to provide
for the comfort OF the troops. All the
feminine expedients of concerts and
tableauX were resorted to to raise money
Very patriotic, and characteristic OF the
time, too, were the songs and scenes that

4 PARTY ER.lCTICE.

It Is interesting to notice that the Republican party In Connecticut has not been in the habit Of giving candi- dates more than one bite nt the gubcr- material cherry. Since 1876. if we re- member right. the practice has been to nominate new man after man has been governor one term or tried 10 be governor and failed. We suppose the idea underlying this practice has been that there are many Republicans well fitted to be governor. that man who has been governor for one term has had all he Is entitled to. and that 1t isn't very good politics to renomina,e a man who has tried to be governor and failed. If there Is no overwhelming reason why the practice Of the party should be changed. 1t would seem wise to try new man this year.

IRRIGATION

The national irrigation congress began six days session in Denver yesterday and the question of reclaim ing the vast tracts of arid lands that in trans-Missouri river States and ter ritories will again come up for consider ation. These lands are estimated at over 5o0,OOo.O00 acres, and what gives especial interest to the proceedings of this congress is the fact that a recent act of the national congress gives to each of the States and territories so much of these lands-not exceeding L. 100000 acres in any one instance, as they may cause to be reclaimed and brought under cultivation during the next ten years. This will be powerful incentive to action, and we may expect to hear of some very interesting plans soon.
 The need and the benefit of irrigation have made themselves very apparent in the dry West this year. and even as far east as Iowa plans for providing water for crops in long protracted dry spells are being discussed. One expert estimates that seasonable rains in June, July and August would have been worth $50, 900 to the farmers of Iowa. Since the State was settled no drought of such duration was ever experienced before The suggestion is made that each farm CT construct an artificial basin an acre or more in extent, to hold surface water, so that in wet seasons 1t might be stored for use in the summer to irrigate crops. Such ponds, it is said, would be valuable for several other purposes. They would furnish a reliable supply of good water for stock both summer and winter, and fish and waterfowl could be raised in them. By planting trees around them the ponds would make pleasant resorts for the family in the heat of the day, but the most important advantage would come from the cheek ing of summer droughts and keeping supply of moisture in the air.

The poke part is faced with the color that best suits. the wearer, and little quilting of ribbon to match covers the joining of the back frill with the front part of the hat, or is 1t bonnet? This little frill is only long enough to come well down each side of the back coil and is narrow enough to be coquettish. The quilling terminates in ribbon ends which tie under the coil. the latter be- ing made high. The shape is a really pretty modification of the old fash toned poke and curtain bonnet of our grandmother day, and on piquant face it Is becoming. But then. what isn't? For ordinary folk it is likely to seem little pronounced.
 Many of the so-called carriage hats are startling and almost all are large. Of that type of headwear is the one chosen to illustrate to-days article. It is made of heavy guipure lace with it's design outlined with gold. The crown consists of shirred cream silk and is very low, the wired lace brim is sewed to it with fancy stitches done in gold thread, and the garniture consists of loops and knots of black velvet ribbon, together with three ostrich plumes in front, and a smaller velvet bow in the back. Already it is announced that flowers will be profusely used in the trimming of winter hats. Felts will bow under weight of roses, and fur capotes will be covered with pansies and forget-me-nots.

A dentist died in rural town in En- gland few days ago, after spending over fifty years in pulling the molars of his fellow citizens. He had made it a hobby to keep all the teeth which he had drawn in the course of his profess sional career, and took great pride in the collection. When his will was opened it was found that he had ordered the collection of teeth to be placed with him in his coffin for burial. His heirs fulfilled his command, and almost 50,- 900 teeth were put into the coffin with the dead dentist.

4 BIG GAS COMPANY,

Some things are done on big scale in London, For instance, the gas busi- ness. The recent semi-annual meeting of the South Metropolitan Gas com pany of London was very interesting affair and has called attention to the way it's business is done. The private gas companies of London are under very strict regulations by the govern ment. One of the requirements made of them is that the rate of dividend cannot be increased without corre- spending reduction in the price of gas. It appears that to this end the South Metropolitan company last March re- duced it's price by one penny, making the rate about tifty-eight cents, which was equivalent to a saving of nearly $140O0O year for consumers. In con- sequence there had been a large increase of business, equal to 5% per cent. over that of the corresponding period of the previous year. The number of consum- CTS and of gas stoves in use has in- creased to a remarkable extent. The company puts out gas stoves on hire, and the number of these increased from 21 500 to 29,705 in one year. The practice of putting in penny-slot metres ot0 hoS of aJ with great success by this company, meeting a demand of the working classes without making, it is claimed, any surplus profit. The number of penny-slot customers is now 10000, who used 24O,OOO,O0O feet in one year, at a profit of about $6O,000, of which nearly s35, 900 went 10 a further reduction of prices.
 For four years the company has tried a profit sharing system, and the ex- perience, in promoting efficiency of ser vice on the part of employees. has been so gratifying as to justify the increase of the bonus. on condition that one half be invested in the company's or- dinary stock. Employees, therefore, now receive 1k per cent. on their salar- ies and wages for every penny at winch gas is sold below 66 cents a thousand. In five years over $250, 900 has thus been paid to employees. one half of which is deposited with the company at per cent. The company pays a dividend of 13 per cent, but being entitled to pay 1874 per cent. the remainder is carried to the reserve fund.

Questions continue to crop up in France in the train of the comparative ly recent divorce law. The Civil Tri- bunal in Paris has just had to decide whether divorced people stand in any re'ation to each other, or whether they are simply like any two strangers. The question arose through the marriage of a divorced woman with her ex-hus- bands brother. Of course, If the divorce had completely effaced the first mar riage, there had been no marriage within the prohibited degree. The court. however, did not uphold this view of the case, and the woman's second marriage was declared void.

The death of the great bass singer, Fitippo Coletti, at the age of eighty three, has attracted little notice in Europe, but he is memorable, If only as the sole performer in whom Carlyle saw any merit on his famous visit to the opera. "One singer in particular" he wrote, "called Coletti or some such name, seemed to me, by the cast of his face, by the tones of his voice, by his general bearing as far as I could read it, to be a man of deep and ardent sensiblities, of delicate intention, great sympathies, originally an almost poetic soul, or man of genius, as we call it, stamped | y nature as capable of far better work than squalling here like blind Samson to make the Philistines sport"
