Bathing Suit of 1894.

Though the woman with well filled
purse can indulge in the luxury of a
silk bathing costume, the greater num-
Der of the fair sex at the shore will frol-
ic with old Neptune in suits of all wool
flannel These may be made very plain
or may be trimmed with great taste.
The neatest suits seen in the stores
are made with full skirts and have knee
tights and full tights to match. Sandals
and odd knitted or rubber caps come
with these suits, which are made in
black, navy, cardinal, maroon, gray and
white. Black, white and red worsted
braids in different widths are used as
trimming, and this garniture can be put
on in exceedingly pretty effects. Cuffs
and sailor collar of red Or white flannel
on blue or black suits are very stylish,
although some beauffu models are
made with box plated waists, with the
skirt, wrists and down turn collar trim
med with two or thrde rows of narrow
white or red worsted lraid.
The best suits range in price from
81 so to ST. These are for ladies, the
suits for children CO sting between 81

Hopper Spins a "Pinaforer Yarn.

Some years ago, when the ''Pinafore'
craze was at its height, the actor who
impersonated Sir Joseph Porter during
production of that opera at the Varie-
ties theater, New Orleans, had make.
up which transformed him into an
exact facsimile Of Admiral Murray OF
the United States navy, who was then
stationed at New Orleans. One night an
old salt of Murray's command was sit
ting in the front row of the gallery.
When Sir Joseph Porter made his first
entrance, he gazed upon him for a mo-
ment as if doubling the evidence Of his
senses, and then muttered to himself
soto yoce, "I'm blest if that isn't old
Murray"
Rising from his seat and making a
sea scrape, he called out, Good day,
your honor The special officer was
going to eject him, but the manager of
the house, who had observed him, for
babe it and told the officer to let the old
fellow enjoy himself 70 his hearts con-
tent so long as he did not become SO
boisterous as to disturb the performance.
Whenever Sir Joseph came on or
went off the stage, the old salt would
rise and honor him with salute, and
after the fall of the curtain he proposed
and gave three cheers for Admiral Muir
ray. A naval lieutenant who was pres
ent subsequently told me that when the
old fellow went on board his ship next
day he had to be put in irons for refus
ing to obey an order from his superior
officer unless that functionary would
follow the example of the gallant cap
tain of the 'Pinafore" and say, If you
please. De Wolf Hopper in New

Lightning Ditapasors.

A good many yearssago some one adj
vanced the idea THAI wire netting
spread over the roof of house and
properly anchored in food conducting
soil is an effectual tlr to injury by
lightning. The clai1l is that there is
what is called state d Dlectrical stress.
This is broken by q fash that de-
sends through an Electric air column
that extends from be clouds to the
earth. By the use Of clipper lattioework,
with upright points placed upon roofs,
the electric current is attracted, carried
through the metal conductors and safe
ly conveyed into the earth without doing
any injury whatever. It is, however, of
the utmost Importance that the anchor
age be of the proper sort, as upon this de-
ponds the safety of the dwelling. New

The Small Farm.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

We have already been shown the carefully
Kept books of farmer who owns and tills
a little place of only fifty acres. Not hav-
ing much land to look after, you see he has
time to keep his accounts. Some men who
nave large farms have no time for sucn
foolish things, but this man says the time
spent on his books pays better than if put
upon working so much more land, because, he
says, 1T enables him to tell all the time what
crops and what fields and what stock
pay him; but perhaps that is only a
theory. You see these book farmers are
very often theoretical-but about his fifty
acres. His accounts begin with an inventory
of the land and everything it at the be
ginning of the year. At the close of the
year was another inventory, and i'm each eV-
cry item was set down at it's actual value.
There was an increase Of stock, machinery
and supplies amounting 10 about 800 The
sales from the farm during the year had
been $500 in excess of the purchases for sup
plies and the payment for labor. Besides
this, there was every evidence that the fam
lily had lived well, had enjoyed all season.
able comforts and had not been overworked.
The total of sales had been made up from
all the products of a general farm, as the
owner was not a speciality farmer. This is
in the nature OF an object lesson for Inen
who have large farms and who are over
worked in the effort to cultivate all their
Land properly, and who in the end find
themselves poorly paid for their pains The
little farm is the more satisfactory.

The Good Roads Movement.
American Farm News.

w
A natural reaction has set in. Good roads
are not less desired, but besides real facts,
arguments and remedies that have teen
presented by thoughtful rlen, there has
been a deluge of sentiment disguised adj
yertising and well-meant advice from un-
practical writers that has often made a
great subject appear ridiculous to many.
and especially to those who will have the
honor of paying the bills.
Contractors views often very good,
but they are not disinteres- ed. Newspaper
writer's who never saw country road but
in need OF "a topic" have often opened the
sluice gates and drowned US with unwise
words.
Times have been hard Spring will rossi-
bly, bring greater prosperity. and certainly
more mud. Then will the discussion again
rage. Agitation must tell. If good country
roads a re TO be built they should be largely
such as the farmer approves, and not made
to precisely please our city brethren.
A valua BILE correspondent living on Long
Island, New York, writes as follows:
The method followed here Is TO lease the
orally a farmer, he TO do the work when
best suited. which generally means a de-
lay until October or November following.
At this time the weather Is changeable and
the road refuses TO pack before summer
following, making vast mud hole during
winter and spring thaws and rains
The road soil is pretty much sand es-
pecially so on the north side of the island.
Where little loam is put on top the road
is greatly improved during summer months

The flowers of this death-dealing beauty
are even more beautiful than the plant
itself, being very large and cup-shaped
and of color almost deathly in the white

The name of the plant is from char

which is distilled in the bottom of the cup

Philadelphia Record.
With the use of plenty of manure and
fertilizers a small plol OF land may be
made To produce two crops in one year
and allow a larger profit than can be OBJ
tanned from q field that is devoted TO some
special cereal crop. There are crops that
can be gotten into market early, IN time
TO sell for good prices, and the land again
prepared for a second crop. This fact Is
well known to gardeners, who make a
business of supplying vegetables for mar
ket and farmers sometimes take advan-
tage of following one crop with another;
also where the land is in prime condition.
BY watching the markets and knowing
what TO grow small farms OF liNe anu zen
acres have been made to pay better than
large farms that are devoted TO what Is
termed general farming.
Where the labor is expensive the profit
is lessened, but the results of thorough
cultivation extend into the succeeding sea-
son, and the growing of an early crop Is
but the preparation of the ground for one
that is to follow, as the cultivation of an
early crop reduces the weeds ana grass
that may be liable to interfere with the
later one. Early peas, cabbage, culitlower,
potatoes and lettuce may be grown and
cleaned off the land in time 10 grow late
cabbage and potatoes, and large crop
OF peas may be taken off the plot, of the
early dwarf varieties. before lima beans
tomatoes. string beans, peppers, egg plants
or melons need be planted. as such crops
should not go in the ground until all dam
ger of frost is over, while the peas, which
may be planted at the present time Will
grow quickly and send a crop 70 market
ground is fertile. There are quite a number
or varieties of vegetables which may be
grown as successive crops by judiciouS
selection OF the proper kinds.
When the soil is made. to produce abun-
dainty there must be no limit to the plant
food provided, and the cultivation must be
thorough. The object should be to get the
early crops out of the way as soon as
possible, and to gain time there must be
such cultivation as will allow not a single
weed to appear. 1t is when the plants first
come out of the ground that they are most
injured by weeds, and when the soil is
kept clean there will also be more moist
ure retained in the soil for the crops If
the weeds are killed soon they ap-
pear the second crop will not require such
frequent cultivation. while the next year
the weeds will have been materially re-
duced Two crops cannot be obtained, how
ever. unless there is plenty of plant food,
and in applying manure or fertilizers there
will be no loss from the use of large
quantity. as that portion not utilized will
be left over for the croDS of next season.
1t is by feeding the soil, close cultivation
and judiciOus selection of the proper crops
to be grown that the small farms are made
to pay.

DUELING IN EUROPE.

The Idler.

Dueling is the leading and almost the
only athletic sport in Italy. 1t is true that
there is an Alpine Club. so called because
its members climb the lesser heights of the
Apennines but there is no cricket, and. ex-
cept among the laboring classes, ball games
or even the mideSt character are hardly
ever played. The young Italian gentleman
finds in dueling an exercise which is bene-
hcfal 10 his muscles and sufficiently CXcit-
ing to interest him, and the middle aged
and occasionally challenges and fights a
friend just to show that he is not too old
to have lost a genial interest in the inno-
cent pursuits OF youth.
Dueling is contrary TO law in Italy but
the duelist is never punished (unless he
should accidentally kill a NAM except in
the army, where the sport is obligatory
and strictly prohibited. The same curious
anomaly exists in Germany, where army
officers are arrested and punished if they

when challenged to fight is virtually told,

can we'll be more idiotic than dueling.
Playing charades in a drawing room rises
TO philosophic heights of wisdom in COM
pariSon with it.
AT least ninety-nine Of every hundred
Italian duels are of the class technically
known ''first-blood'' duels. That is to
say. the combat ceases the moment either
or the adverSarieS loses blood. In these
duels the sword is always used, and the

stances have happened in which a duelist

and killed. but incidents of this sort are
extremely infrequent compared with the
fatalities of the football field Italian duel
ing is probably the safest of all athletic
sports except prize fighting as practiced
by modern pugilists by means of letters to
tne sporting papers.
