those in the costume was seen in public. The effect would be spoiled, and when an other woman asked the dressnaker' s name it would be with the intention of avoiding her. That Is what clever little Scotch modiste told me when l asked her how she came to send bonnet or hat with every costume or a teacap with every tea gown.
 There is a new lining for the skirts of nice dresses that are not intended to be too stiff called grass cloth, and it is in many respects better than black linen and is not so costly or heavy. There is also a facing that one can buy already prepared, ; with a stiffening made of shaved up quills stitched in it until it Is almost as stiff as whalebone though much more flexible.
 Shepherds plaids in soft wool are gain ing favor steadily, the check being very small, and gray and white, gray and pur- pie, or black and white, or white and blue. Velvet Is the trimming best liked for these. Crepon is such a very useful material that it is wonder that it has not been employed more for dresses for small girls. The cotton crepons are so beautifully colored, and they wash so per fectly and require no ironing, that it would appear to be an ideal fabric for them, and it is only now that mothers are beginning to realize its qualities. When crepon is washed, it should be turned in- side out and dried in the shade, and when dry it is ready to wear and looks like new.
 Among the novelties is an Irish hand woven linen, done in loose mesh. It is called hopsack linen and is soft and quite glossy The colors are not many, but what there are are fast and well chosen. These linens are very strong and useful for childrens wear as well as for the gowns of their mothers.
 White drilling, duck and heavy bolting cloth are all used to make the white blazer suits, and so is pique. Cunning little vests are made of it, closing with as many tiny silver buttons as can be scwed on in some cases. In others the vest is double breast ed and has but six white buttons. With these vests the watches are worn exactly as gentlemen wear theirs The watch is kept in its pocket, and the chain crosses the vest and fastens in the buttonhole. Gloves are carried in the opposite pocket and nickels for car fare.
 The blazer suit makes blouse waists a great comfort to the wearer and they are pretty also, but if lady wants her blazer suit to do her the greatest justice she should wear a white vest, and a bosomed shirt, with collar and cuffs and neat lit tie tie of same kind, white or black; also an alpine hat of light or entirely white straw. Grayish green and grcenish gray cloth and novelty goods are being used now for the most stylish tailor gowns and jacket suits There is jacket which is hard to classify, though it is very pretty. It is between figaro, bolero, an Eton jacket and swiss waist. It is made without sleeves, richly trimmed and is of velvet or heavy silk and can be worn with any gown. MATE LEROY.

police regulations by the force as should

New York Letter.
TIL business men in the dry-goods dis
trict find more encouragement for the hope
of a revival of business in a trade sale
which took place yesterday than in all the
indication furnished from Wall street. 1t
was a sale of silks, the greatest this coun-
try has ever known, calling to the market
merchants from all parts of the Union,
and who bid freely until the enormous
stock was disposed Of. Some idea of the
sale can be obtained from my statement
that considerably more than half a million
yards were sold and that the aggregate
received for the goods was more than half
a million dollars.
The prices were excellent. too. 1t must
not be assumed, however, that this healthy
indication was due to the German tariff.
1t is in one sense due to the fact that tariff
agitation has ended for awhile and that
the market now knows what it will have
to pay for imported silks. 1t is simply
due to the fact that last year being one
Of great economies the people Of the coun-
try had practically consumed the silks in
the markets. Therefore there is a new de-
mand, and 1t may be said, in a general
way, that whatever of revival i'm business
is noticed this fall will be caused very
largely by the fact that the supply through
out the country has been almost exhausted
and that now that the tariff is settled for
awhile IT is possible for merchants to buy
knowing what they may reasonably expect
in the way of a market.

The wind came blowing out OF the West.
1t stirred the beech trees out of their rest.
And rocked the storm thrush up IN his nest.

The swallows, skinned along the gIouna
And rustling leaves made a pleasant SOUND,
Like children babbling all around.
AS Jimmy moved the hay
Milly came with her bucket back.
AS Jimmy moved the hay;
Milly came with her bucket by.
With a wee light foot so trim and sly
And sunburnt cheek and laughing eye.

And under cover OF the vain.
Jimmy and Mslly. a coy twain,
Sat sheltered by the hay.

FARMERS WHO HAVE NO sHEEP.
Protection for Wool Would Give
Them an Increased Market.

Judge William Lawrence.
The people of the United States consume
annually, under normal conditions. a little
over COO. O00.c coo pounds of wool on the I'M
washed basis. With less thar As, 600. 900 sheep
now in this country only about half the
needed wool is produced by American fiocks
and the other half is imported in the form
Of wool and wooden manufactures. How
does this importation affect farmers who
have no sheep?
Every pound of wool imported is equiva-
lent to an import Of the grass. hay. corn.
when wool is imported, these farm PRODUCTS
are in effect imported. to come in competi-
ton with the similar products or American
farmers and thus reduce the price and i'm
pair the ability 10 patronize mechanics. mer-
chants. grocers. schools. colleges or
We need an addition TO our hocks OF 65.-
0Us,0C0 sheep. With an adequate protective
tariff for wool we viii soon have this in
demand for at least 100000 O bushels Of
corn, or an equivalent in corn and oats for
stock sheep. and for 100000 additional
els more feed would be required. Ii would
make an increased demand for pasturage,
and thus utilize lands now unemployed. Ii
would also Increase the demand for hay,
oats, etc.
Mr.. John Reimers. an intelligent German
of Grand Island, Neb., who has a ranch
Of seven thousand acres. has stated that
large Plumbers OF sheep were pastured in
wyoming and then driven into Nebraska

raised there, and that the sheep owners Of
Wyoming shipped into that State large
quantities Of corn from other States for
winter feed for sheep. especially for those

Thus the farmers who own no sheep are
deeply interested in sheep husbandry. Free
wool will substantially destroy sheep hus-
bandry and the market il makes for farm
products. And yet John Reimers is a free

!. The total annual exports OF corn from
the whole United States. from 1870 10 1850.
inclusive, were only %. sSS. s64 bushels. or
80 per cent. OF all produced. Ohio produced
about one-twentleth of the corn crop, so
