MISSES NORFOLK BASQUE.

Illuminated serge in brown and tan
is happily combined with golden
brown velvet, making the stylish
basque pictured in the second large
cut deservedly popular for school,
cycling, best or general wear. The
adjustment is glove-ftting to the waist
line, below which it falls with slight
ripple to fashionable length over the
hlps, the box-plaits being graded and
applied from the shoulders and the
centre of fronts and back to lower
edge of basque. Two styles of collar
are provided, q high ciose-ftting collar
and a low.cut revers collar, both of
which are made of velvet. A belt Of
velvet is worn around the waist. The
fashionable full mandolin sleeves are
shaped in three sections, each seam
being piped with velvet. The top is
gathered and arranged over comfort

with 9 velvet piping. Simple IN con-
struction and dressy in effect, this

King OF the Moonshiners.

The king Of the North Alabama
moonshiners, Fred Walker, was cap.
tured by revenue officers q few nights
ago near Stevenson, Ala. For fifteen
years Walker has been fugitive from
justice, and during that time he has
defeated dozens Of attempts to capture
him, and has defed and taunted the
officers, though he has lived in one
place all the time. The marshal who
headed the posse which finally cap
tured him had previously made
twenty-five unsuccessful attempts.
Walker was exceedingly popular
among mountain folk, and they gave
him every assistance in evading arrest.
His cabin was on cliff commanding
view Of the country for fifteen miles
around, and either he saw the officers
or was warned by signals from friends
of their approach. The officers finally
discovered the route by which he
usually retreated, and while one party
went openly to his cabin the other
lay IN ambush. along his path and
took him unawares. All the mountain
eers fully believe he will soon escape
from the authorities. New York Sun.

The Sap Of Trees.

It is subject of interest to maple
sugar makers where the sap in the
trees comes from, and there is much
difference of opinion about it. The
SAD does not come from the ground by
the roots, but is in the tree, and has
been all the winter, but in the form of
starch deposited in the cells of the
soft wood under the bark. When the
weather becomes warm enough in the
spring to set the vital processes in the
tree into action, this starch is changed
into sugar, and the cells are filled 80
full of the sweet sap as to exert q
great pressure on them. Then when
the spring begins, the warmth of the
sun starts this vital action, and the
sap circulates through the cells on the
way to the buds, which will swell and
soon burst into leaf. When the sugar
maker taps the trees, the pressure of
the sap on the cells forces it to exude
and flow from the opening made into
the sap wood. There is no special
current up from the roots or down to
them; the tree is simply filed with
sap all through the sapwood, and
mostly at that part of it which lies i'm
mediately under the bark, and where
the new wood will soon be formed of
the matter held in solution in the sap.
The sap will flow while the ground is
frozen, for it is the warmth in the
air that causes the flow, and not the
action of the roots in the soil. Thus
1t is quite useless to spread any little
or other non-conductive matter under
the tree in the expectation that if the
ground is kept frozen the budding
will be delayed. If this effect is de-
sired the whole tree must be covered
in and kept in q dormant condition by
a low temperature all over. Thus
young trees may be kept in cold stor-
age for months, and are 30 kept for
shipment to Australia, where the sea-
sons are exactly the opposite of ours.

HARD T1MEs.

Winter before last, when there was SO
much suffering among the .po orer classes,
and when philanthropy and charity were
stirred to their utmost to furnish 70 the
needy the necessarles of life, q soup house
was opened in Annapolis. the capital OF
Maryland. for the first time, I am told, IN its
history. The fall preceding the oyster In.
dustry was active as usual, and employment
given to many hands. On one Saturday
evening large packer paid off those In his
employ with brass checks for the respective
amounts due them. As the packer was
known to be man OF character and means,
these checks were received as money by the
dealers In that town, and by them presented
for redemption. On this occasion he issued
$500 of them, and by the following Tednes-
day they had all been redeemed. Who pre-
sented them2 Through what branch Of
trade did they come back to the packer?
You would, Of course, suppose from the
baker. the grocer, the butcher, the clothter,
and such like Did they? Out of the $500.
210O, or more than four-ffths, were handed
In bythe saloon keepers. Suppose the hg-
ures mad leen reversed; and four-ffths had
come through the channels which meant
comfort and sustenance to the families rep
resented, and only one-hfth through the
saloons, and that would have been one-ffth
too many. Do you think there would have
been any need Of a soup house In that town!
On the contrary, would not the various
branches of trade have felt the impulse OF an
increased demand, and they In turn would
have been forced to send to Baltimore and
other places for further supplies, and thus,
like the ripple started on the bosom OF some
placid lake, which widens and Widens, until
It reaches the furthermost shore, the chan

reasons, for having never tasted liquor:

DRINK IN ALASKA.

1.-THE accounts of the introduction OF q
food supply into Alaska are encouraging, the
introduction OF a drink supply furnishes an
other and darker side to the case. It is
against the United States law to introduce
LIQUOR into Alaska; and the United States
revenue cutter is very efficient in enforcing
the law. American whalers, who very fre-'
quently bring more liquor than the law al
lows them for their own consumption ten
gallons) are obliged to throw it overheard.
But, to evade the United States, laws, q new
plan has been adopted. Thus, last year
whaler took one hundred barrels Of whisky
to the Siberian coast. II it had anchored in
American waters, the vessel would have
been seized. Being in Siberian waters 1t
could not be touched. The liquor was then
landed, and the Siberians loaded it up In
their skin canoes and the Alaskans in theirs;
and Mr.. Jackson declars that the entire
United States navy could not under these
circumstances, prevent the smuggling OF
LIQUOR into Alaska. It is melancholy to re.
feet that, while missionaries are trying 20
save this people, physically and morally,
other men are doing all they can for the In
PRODUCTION OF alcohol for their degradation.
But so It has been from the beginning; the
forces Of light and darkness are perpetually
In conflict. ~,

A STARTLING LESSON.

There is an ancient saying that the sins OF
the father are visited upon the children; OF
course. in the way Of natural law only.
Science lends its support to this declaration
and presents many sad facts In corroboration
OF It. Thus DR.. Paul GARNER, Of Paris, who
has been making special study OF the chill
dren of habitual drunkards, comes to this
conclusion: "There is a flaw in, the very
nature OF these young wretches that the
psychologist sees clearly and notes with ap-
prehension-the absence of affectionate
emotion;'' and when they do not become
lunatics, he says, they show "insensibility
and pitilessness." Here is temperance
lesson of startling power.-Workman's
