From the farthing in theory We come to the grimly practical farth- no of the East End, which plays such an important part in the dealings of the very poorest classes. Few people have any idea of the number of shops, largo and small, which are supported bY farthlng customers.
 A farthing's worth of meat, far thing's worth of bread, butter, cheese, bacon, matches and so on, this is the tragic legend which is repeated from morning to night in these shops. I know of one confectionery and biscuit factory in the slums, where several hundred men are employed, which is entirely supported by farthing. Every thing which leaves the warehouse is done up in farthing packets. There is less in four farthing packets than would be sold for a penny on account of the extra trouble in packing Pear son's Weekly.

About the best and most appropri- ately-dressed man in town is Chinese laundryman in Fourth avenue. His sole outer garment is a loose, long piece of gauge, lilac purple in color, ex- tending from his shoulder almost to his heels. It is bound at the waist by wide sash of neutral tint, harmoniz- Ing with the garment it girdles. As seen from the street the tall, delicate ly-eelored figure, with it's graceful draper, reminds one of the figures drawn by the best of the French decora- tive painters. Y. Sun.

HOW THE EARTH DO MOVE.

These are great days for the upsetting of theories. The theory that Debs was the ruler of the United States of Amer ica has just been knocked into a cooked hat, and now comes John Whitehead of Pittsburg saying that the old notion about the revolution of the earth is all nonsense. He says that the sun is h dynamo, the earth the armature, and the revolution of the latter closely analogous to that illustrated on every trolley car. Starting with the assump- tion that electrical power radiates from the sun, MT. Whitehead points out that ths earth is known to be great magnet lying with it's poles trans- verse to the line of electrical force from the sun. Now if drum wound with copper wire be placed between the poles of magnet and re- volyed so that the wire cuts the line of force of the magnet at right angles, a current of electricity will flow through the wire as long as the drum is revolved. This. is g dynamo. If, on the other hand, current of electricity be sent through the wire the operation is re- verssd. The lines of force produced by the current through the wire cut those of the magnet, and the drum revolves. This is motor. Now, says Mir. Whitehead, the current of elec- tricity flowing from the sun acts pre- cisely as if it were conveyed through a wire. Its line of force is transverse to that of the earth's current and must produce rotation for this reason: The earth while being magnet, is Q spher- ical one, but the electrical current from the sun issaot wound on g dI,lm, as ts

FASHION NOTES.

The Style of Sleeve Depends on the Arm.
 Pretty arms are bare from the elbow in most all summer dresses of muslins. wash silks, ginghams. etc. The girl with faultless elbow finishes her sleeves with plain tight band above the elbow. The other sort of a girl adds a frill or square of lace, with hole in the middle, through which the arm goes. A faultless elbow is one that dimples softly when it is bent It has no knobs and is slightly rosy where oth- CT people have hard, shiny point" The rest of the skin is creamy and smooth, and when the arm Is held straight there are no wrinkles in It. Is that your kind? If 80, try two frills.

The "chopping Board" in Sorthwestern
 Forests.
 En.a... ua.na.ia WaaLlv

The "ChoppinE Board" In Northwestrrn | Forests.
 [from Harpar's weekly.l
 The high cutting of these northwes- tern trees Is not accomplished by means of platforms such as are used in the redwood forests of California. but by the use of a very ingenious eontri- vance known as a spring or. chopping board. It is . slender board about i've feet long. of tough vine maple. shod at the inner end with stout steel spur. This end Of the board is inserted in a deep notch cut in the tree trunk. As the chopper stands on the support thus afforded. his weight causes the spur to bite more and more deeply Into the wood and to hold his board with ever increasing frmness. When two chop pers, or "fallers." as they are called. have by means Of their boards at- tained what they consider proper height on a tree doomed to destruction. they first chop deep "undercut' on | the side that Is to be undermost when | the tree Is down. The head faller de- | termines the exact position In which the felled tree shall lie by sighting from the center of this under-cut along his axe-helve, and so exact is he in his cal culation that he is willing to draw a line on the ground at right angles to the tree and to guarantee that the prostrate trunk shall cover its entire length. With the direction of falling decided upon and the under-cut com pleted, a long two-handed saw is called into requisition, and with the two brawny fallers working 1t on the side of the tree opposite to that of the under cut, the fate of the forest monarch is decided within half an hour. It yields up its life with one grand, far-echoing crash, and at once becomes the prey of buckers. who saw 1t into thirty-foot lengths bankers. hook-tenders. rigging singers, hand-skidders, and teamsters, who. with teams of splendid horses, aided by tackle of heavy blocks and lengths of wire cable, drag 1t to the end of the skid-road. Thus in an in- conceivably short space of time the mighty tree is being hauled by relay after relay of cable down the winding skid-road toward the distant landing and the still more distant mill that is to convert it into lumber.

If not, and you still wish to leave the lower arm, here in this picture Is a model which may seem suitable. This dress is made of lavender and green glace silk figured with Louis XVI. bou- quets. The bodice has a square yoke of white tulle, fastehs at the side and is worn inside the skirt. A belt of dark green satin ribbon with two long bows nt either side comes around the waist
 The wide, gored skirt is garnished with two rows of tulle ruching forming loz- enges, as shown, and D. similar ruch- ing together with some narrow black lace finishes the yoke. The sleeves are divided into two puffs by series ot lengthwise tucks near the elbow.
 Scarfs receive much elaboration this year, and those of null are seen almost yard wide and are bound at inter vals by bands of ribbon contrasting ir color with the scarf and tied lightly about 1t with rosette bow. The edges of the scarf between the ties are drawn out loosely, giving puffed effect. This tying is continued about the neck length. From the last ties the scar1 falls full and straight to the; knees there being finished with bands Q, quilting of the ribbon. In black wttf white ribbon, edged with applique but

tho case in the armatufe, and docs not reyolye. Thus We may sec that tho dif- ference between rho motor and tho earth Is that in the one case the arma- ture revoives. but in tho other each magnet reyolves while Inc electric cur rent which attracts 1t is relatively sta tionary. The laws of nature operate in a similar manner whether on a large or n small scale. If the current Of eieo- trieity in the afmaturo Of q motor so acts on tho lines of force of the field of the magnet that the armature is revolved by tho attrao- tive and repellant power of tho current on the field, 1t is likewise equally true that rotary motion will be produced in the earth by the electric current from the sun under substantially the same conditions.
 Perhaps It will not do to give at once full assent to this very plausible theory, but it must be admitted that electricity has good deal 10 do with keeping the world going

MT. J. R. G. Pitkin, who has made a special study of South American trade,
 has delivered all address in New York in which he atfirms the possibility of the United States obtaining very consid- erable share of the trade of the southern continent provided we take the right means to attain that result. The con- sumption of cotton cloths, according to Nr. Pitkin, is enormous in South Amer ioa, and if the tastes of the people as to color, pattern and texture are consulted and conformed to there Is no good rea- son, particularly with improved condi- tions as to costs of manufacture soon to come about, why large part of the trade now in the hands of foreigners should not be diverted to American manufacturers.

In.the prosecution at Pittsburgh of a man charged with cruelty to his horses ip making them draw heavy loads several witnesses testified as experts | teamster said that he had often hauled 6,500 pounds with two horses on level, and twenty tons with sixteen two horses. The loads which the de- fendant's horses had drawn averaged {, ,655 pounds. Another witness thought that from 4,5O0 to 5000 pounds was a "deoent" load. A stone contractor said that one of his teams had hauled 5000 pounds on the level, and that at times one horse had pulled 4,000 pounds. It appeared that the defendant was en- gagged in excavating bank, and had given orders that his teams should draw fifteen loads of dirt a day. He testified that in his opinion from 6,5O0 to 8, 1000 pounds was proper load for a two-horse team. The witnesses gener- ally thought that he had overworked his horses in giving them fifteen trips a day; twelve in their opinion was suf1- dent, and one teamster said that a draught horse should never be urged beyond Wplk,
