J. G. Stouffer, a wealthy young farmer resid.

to Columbiana, where he drew $1,000 from
Easterly & Co.'s bank and started for Wash

BY THE WAY.

Carl Browne is as silent as n clam ON
his matrimonial prospects but IL has been
discovered that among the fair ones who
want to be called Mrs. Browne several
offer to dover the capital steps match
with thousands Of dollars If only they are
chosen. 1t is thought that Carl has made
up his mind That he intends to be in
Washington on that day is indicated by
the fact that large illustrated posters have
been gotten out and sent from here billing
him TO speak in New Jersey during tho
week commencing Monday, April 22, and
in Washington May /, leading to the sup
position that he will cap the climax by
becoming Benedick on his first annivcr-
sary of getting on the grass in that city.

| An authority on laSnlOn anu SJNle says
that 1t is no longer considered good form
in the ultra fashionable set to come out
newly arranged from head TO foot ~
spring clothes on Easter Sunday. What
an uncomfortable life the ultra-fashion-
able must lead, by the way just as they
get comfortably settled enjoying u
custom, the great unwashed" takes 1t
up, and then they must discard it be-
cause it is vulgar" There are several
other explanations that might be offered
for giving up this annual fashion parade.
The most sensible one is the plea of econ
omy. Ordinarily, especially in northern
countries Easter comes too early to de-
mand spring clothes Ones fur tippet Is
not uncomfortable in the temperature
which the season furnishes at the last of
March or first of April, and the cloth dress
of winter would serve much longer than
these early days of spring. Another very
reasonable explanation for not joining tho
procession is the fact that ones SWEETEST
gown, which otherwise might make n
sensation, is lost in the crowd of brilliantly
arrayed worshippcrs and receives only u
passing glance from admirers, whose eye
hurrics on to see what the next feature of
the parade will be.

A Novel Sulky.

A horse lover in Hartford, Conn.,,
according to the Courant of that city,
has devised sulky that may accom-
plish wonders in the development of
speed in trotting horses. 1t is a rather
odd.looking arrangement, as may be
seen from the picture printed here
with, but its conception is based upon
several very important considerations.
In running against time the horse
should have as nearly absolute free
dom of wind and limb as possible, be-
sides being relieved of draught. In
other words, he should be as nature
designed him, and the inventor of
this sulky claims that it more nearly
accomplishes that end than any device
vet made known.
As shown in the cut, the drivers
seat is over the horses hips, with the
wheels trife in advance ofthe middle
of the animals body. The central
upright, extending from the wheel to
the seat, is on slight incline and
must necessarily help propel the
wheels, thus reducing the draught to
the minimum. A surcingle supports
and steadies the shafts, and straps
running from it to the pockets that
inclose the ends of the shaft keep the
sulky from running faster than the
horse.
