falling unchecked to the feet. This
center front should be of Japanese
silk, cotton crepe or some such soft
goods. A Vatican back is the most be-
coming, and a Bertha fall of lace or full
epaulette ruffles and large sleeves. For
midsummer, percale and white lawn

be trimmed up in quite dressy fashion.

goods. Have white or light dainty
shades in place of gay colors. Have

tered out Johnnie's father was fifer
and the boy beat the drum.
Twenty affidavits accompany the

Johnnie was on duty, turning out day
and night, winter and summer, to beat
the calls. When the remains of Presi-
dent Lincoln reached indianapolis on
the way from Washington to Spring
field, and were taken from the car to
the capitol to lie in state, Johnnie
Brooks was there with his drum beat
ing the dead march.
The muster and discharge will make
Mr.. Brooks veteran de jure, as he is
already de facto. They will put him
on the muster rolls and allow him the
pay to which he is entitled for the two
years service he rendered. The whole

in the bill, and it will doubtless go
through. The father of Mr.. Brooks is

Decision in Favor of tho De Long Hook
and Eva


Judge Acheson, in the United States
Circuit Court at Pittsburgh, has just
rendered, in the case of Richardson &c
DE Long Brothers VS.. Campbell & Smith,
an important decision of great interest,
sustaining letters patent owned by
Richardson & De Long Brothers, which
were granted to Frank e. De Long for
bumped hook and eye, and enjoining
the defendants from selling the Golden
Spring" hooks and eyes.
The hooks dealt in by the defendants
we're manufactured by the Golden
Spring Hook and Eye Company, of
Springfield, Mass. In these hooks the
positions of the straight and curved
portions of the De Long loop were re-
vCrsed. The Court held that this did
not void infringement, and directed a
decree to be entered for the plaintiffs.
The case, which was a test one of
great Importance, was contested at
great length, and has been pending for
almost two years.
Messrs. Richardson & De Long Broth.
ers were represented by Messrs. Straw.
bridge & Taylor, Bradbury Bedell, and
John G. johnson, of Philadelphia, and
Frederick P. Fish, of Boston, and the
defendants by Messrs. Allan Webster

Electricity for Fishing.

An electrical genius has come to the
aid of night fishermen. Men who catch
eels and other fresh water fish for the
market sometimes set as many as a
dozen lines, says the New York World.
These must be taken up from time to
time for examination. The new device
is an arrangement by which, when the
fish or eel is hooked, the first pull closes
an electric circuit-a fine wire running
alongside the line-and tiny bell at
the shore end sounds the alarm. A
small storage battery is part of the
equipment, as a matter of course.

AMERICAS GREATEST SEED GROW.
ERS.


ERS.
Thirty years ago when the Salzers
were conducting in a small but profit
able way, market garden and green
house business in La Crosse, Wis, they
little dreamed that within a third of
century they would be the leaders
in the seed.growing and seed-selling
industry of America. The secret of
this phenomenal success was quality,
liberality, push. Nothing in the world
advertises itself quicker and better,
and more lasting than quality and to
the superior merit of Salzer's northern
grown seeds; to their unusual life and
vigor and to their absolute surety of
growth, in conjunction with their
great producing qualities, and this
coupled with the great liberality of the
firm in the way of rare and many extras
to each order and push back of all,
has placed the firm in the van and en-
titles them to the proud distinction
of Americas greatest seed growers!
The production of rare vegetable sorts
and new farm seeds has long been a
great specially with this company,
owning and operating many thousands
of acres of land. Their great eight
hundred acre trial farm in South Da
kota was visited by thousands inter
ested in higher farming, and all rail
roads gave half-fare rate within the
state to any wishing to see the farm
The Salzers pay great attention to the
new grasses, clovers and fodder
plants, and their catalogue contains
the largest list of rare farm seeds
found in America.
A strong point of the John A. SalzeI
Seed Co. is that they keep large stocks
of everything in the seed line on hand
so that a customer ordering of then
is always sure of getting what he or
ders.
A slight idea of the magnitude of this
firms business can be gathered that
they issue probably the largest mum
berof catalogues of any American firm;
that they use over 100000 postage 6
year, emr,oy in the packing and dis
tributipg of their seeds upwards Of
six hundred hands and require fol
their distributing warehouse over ter
acres of floor room.
A five cent postage stamp sent to the
John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis.
will bring you their great catalogue.

THE VETERANS STORY.

He Makes an Unexpected Capture of .
Confederate Soldier.
A Vermont veteran tells good story
of the fight at Burkittsville, Va, just
before the battle of Sharpsburg: THE
confederates, overpowered, fell back up
the hill, firing upon our men from be-
hind rocks and the natural defensive
positions presented by the ground un-

they made a more decided stand. Their
riflemen took advantage of every possi-

Mrs Olive Logan has arrived in Wash

The fame of Olive Logan is a part ofth
country's annals, its bearer having been
identified in the very earliest years OF the
war with all its patriotic movements.
Though exceedingly young at tie time Of
the civE struggle She threw in her lot
vigorously with all efforts that tended to
the ameliofation OF the soldiers condition
in those truublous times.
While She Is the author Of several books
and plays, and-has an extended fame as
lecturer and a dramatic artist, it is
upon her achievement as journalist that
Olive Logan mainly attributes whatever
success may have been hers in life. 1t was
as an American journalist that she was
specially ypresentedtothe Empress Frederick,
that distinguished royal lady having at the
time made a complimentary reference to
her appreciation Of Mrs Logan's writings
Time tries all, and of necessity has
whitened the locks which were formerly
the inspiration of many a poet, but the

which won her hosts of friends in the long
