Washington. Oct. 6.-Secretary Olney
mas returned to Washington from his
summer home at Falmouth. Mass. and
mas resumed the duties of his Office
He brought with him a mass of papers
relating to official business which has
engaged his attention during his alb
sence from the city, and spent the
morning principally in consultation
With assistant secretaries and other Of
hcials of the state department touch
ing the public business. Matters are
said to be in better shape than usual
at the department at the beginning
OF the winter season. there being fewer
issues of great Importance pending. and
these are in less acute stages than Is
generally the case.
Situation as to vene zuela.
The Venezuelan controversy has
progressed slowly. but in the main
satisfactorily during the past summer.
and couple OF notes have been ex-
changed between Secretary Olney and
LORD Salisbury since the publication
or the last batch of correspondence.
They are understood to be purely
argumentative in tone. and Will. they
90 not by any means OF themselves
bring the negotiations up to
the closing point. they mark q fair
degree of progress toward clearing
away OF mutual Observation-Disclosures.
and tend to simplify the efforts maxi
ing on both sides not only to adjust
the Venezuelan issue itself SATISFACTORY
ly. but to effect an agreement at least
upon a general set of principles that
shall govern the settlement Of future
disputes between the United States and
Great Britain by means of general
arbitration
y" Change Regarding the Cuban War.
The other open issue before the de-
partment is the Cuban question. but SC
far as can be gathered the administra-
tinn as yet has found no reason to-
change the attitude IL has adopted to-
wards the contestants in the island.
though IL is admitted that its policy is
subject to alteration according to the
development of the campaign.

the pretty curves of the arm itself.
This upper puff Is not only subject to
being rolled up on the arm so far that
1t is hardly puff at all, but 1t is slit
lengthwise and then pushed toward
the back Of the arm, exposing at the
front tight fitting effect. while at the
back the sleeve has still the look OF
the tight lower sleeve finished with the
puff top. This treatment Is displayed
In the final picture, where blue, green
and red striped silk gives the sleeves,
and green silk the remainder. In the
preceding gown the fabric was white
silk striped with pale blue, the plastron
being richly appliqued white satin.
Directors to return Of tight sleeves
declare that padding of the arms will
be resorted to by women whose arms
are not big enough to stand the test.
They'd better take to exercising. Rub
the arm round and round, clasping the
arm with thumb and finger and then
twisting this ring about the arm from
wrist to shoulder, making the ring so
close that the twisting is not easy,

that Is, from the wrist to the shoulder,
is to reduce the flesh on the arm, while
the round and round motion Increases
the size and adds to the muscles. Moth
ing but patient kneading and rubbing
with oil will help bony or sharp ell
bows, and no padding can be success
fully applied to them. Remember, too,
that a sleeve too tight stops the circu-
Iation, makes the hands red and tends
to attentuate the arm. A sleeve may
be made very tight at the wrist and
very long, and without bagging II may
be rather loose above the. elbow. This
will give an effect of taper to the arm.
1t seems pity that the fashion of
slipping down the fullness or the elab-
Grafton from the shoulder to wherever
1t is most becoming to the arm seems
not to be longer countenanced. As
for the woman with pretty arms, and
she Is usually girl that Is pretty
generally, when you suggest tight
sleeves to her she responds with smile
of welcome that will make the com.
ing change progress rapidly.

der the arm, the ends tied on the top
Of the shoulder and the edge of the
handkerchief draping the sides of the
arm bit at the top. Such fullness or
drapery as there is Is positively away
up at the top Of the arm, and frequent
ly at the sides of the top, so that the
line Of the arm from wrist up over the
shoulder is unbroken. Evening gowns
are made with the arm exposed and
undraped from the wrist to the tiny
line Of shoulder strap on top, while an
arrangement of puffs set on the bodice
under the arm spreads to either side
of the arm at the top. Another daring
change Is shown in the first picture.
Here is dress of biscuit-colored silk,
its sleeve fitting tightly from wrist to
shoulder seam and armhole. A frill is
then set in the armhole, which falls
over the top of the arm. The frill has

Is slit, and that makes more apparent

Is sure to hail the return of a close fit

For her who cannot all at once give

quently divided on the very top of the
arm, so that the tight fit shows. Such
sleeve is very dressy, and when the
puff Is made of light and gauzy stuff
that appears nowhere else about the
dress, one realizes that its removal
will not interfere with the harmony
Of the gown and will leave 1t with an
entirely undraped sleeve. In the ex-
ample sketched for the second pic
ture, the sleeve puff was organdie, and
the tight sleeve and bodice were Of

The large, overgrown horse Is not

for work on the farm. There Is always

do. and Ii tha roads.are hard, and espe-
cialiy II they are stony, the heavy horse
Is very liable to go lame after being
driven. His feet are not so tough as
those of smaller and better built
horses. and this, besides his heavier
weight. puts the large horse at dis
advantage on the road. There are also
on the farm many kinds of work that
require agility, quickness and endur-
ance In horses rather than great
strength. For all-around farm work
there never was a better breed OF
horses than the old Morgans. Many
farmers have learned this, and the
horse that shows the Morgan charac-
teristics, Of moderate size, with CON-
pact, well-knit frame, will be pre-
ferred by them to the excessively large
horses that attract most attention when
exhibited at agricultural fairs.

SCISSORS of arms that are just a little
too thin.
The leg mutton sleeve that little
while ago seemed to hold its character
istics SO rigidly now would not be able
TO recognize any summons to return
to our mutton" for it is pushed and
squeezed out of all resemblance, .ex-
cept general one, to itself. The loose
portion is now pushed UP very high on
the arm and inflated In bulges that are
planned carefully not to interfere. with
the general contour of the arm, except
in so arbitrary a way that the natural
outline is emphasized. Sometimes the
swell takes the shape Of pair Of
blOwn-up puffs that extends straight
out from the shoulder and at right
angles to the top of the arm; at other
times the mutations are at right angles
to the sides Of the arm. This last effect
is gained by gathering the fullness into
a series of chickering's on the top of the
arm, and often from these chickering's
a roll of ribbon will extend in epaulette
fashion along the top Of the shoulder,
finishing with little bow at the side
Of the neck band, thus adding to the
slant of the shoulder Other tight
sleeves are so deftly draped with lace
at the top along the sides and under
the arm above the elbow that an effect
of plumpness Is suggested. though real
ly the outline of the arm is masked.
The elbow puff is too dressy and too
becoming to the woman whose fore
arm and elbow are pretty to be dis
pensed with at once, but it is signif-
cant that its new designs, too, point the
way to tight sleeves. AS shown In
the fifth of these sketches, the pun
Is pushed up high and the sleeve Ia
brought to the elbow by a close fitting
band or cuff finished with fall OF
lace that hangs behind the, elbow. In
a little while the cuff will be all there
is Of the elbow sleeve. and will have
extended over the shoulder, while the
lace at the elbow will constitute the
only elaboration of the sleeve. except

Agricultural. Notsn.

The advice Is to SOW crimson clover
in the fall as early as is practicable.
Many a worthless bog, II drained and
cultivated a few seasons until In fine
condition, will make the very best Of
grass land.
The absolute necessity of facing
drouths and dry spells is evident. We
can no longer speak of irrigation as
Western topic.
In the Eastern States, with spraying,
both Fameuse and Talman sweet ap-
pies do well, and are fairly profitable.
Unless put In cold storage, however,
the Fameuse disappears in December.
In bulletin Of the Vermont station
is stated that tuberculin is capable of
producing tuberculosis In healthy cat
tie. This agrees with the results of
the researches Of Professor Wicklow
on the same subject
Farmers should cease to use young
and immature stock for breeding pur-
poses. 1t may happen that selected
young animals win give good results,
but the continued use OF such Is sure
to prove disastrous In the end. Expert
ments made with full-grown adults and
immature ones have demonstrated that
the adults produce harder offspring
than the young parents. ~
There was time when It was con-
sidered impossible to do without fences.
At the present day there are whole
counties In some Of the States where
no fences can be seen, and there are
consequently fewer lawsuits over the
depredations Of stock than before.
Fences are expensive Injuries In soms
sections, and have been msps service

for such change. ana prepare Tor q
quick shift in the autumn. The de-
'signers are busily making ready for
1t, and some of their models are GER
tainly Inviting. Those shown in the
accompanying illustrations will be in
corponted in gowns for late summer
and fall, and 1t then remains for wom-
en- to indorse or refuse them. Recall
ing how long large sleeves OF one sort
or another have been stylish, it is safe
to guess that tight ones will soon come
In one shape or another.
Naturally the first attempts in this
direction do not constitute startling
change, but are more in the nature Of
q compromise, still some Of them are
pronounced departures. Sleeves are
seen that fit tightly from wrist to shout
der. Over the shoulder, rather as
part Of the neck finish than as an adj
oition to the sleeve, little frill may
hang, or there may be slight drap-
ing-as If lace edged handkerchief

after Matching. Unless the worms be-
come very abundant they usually re-
main unnoticed, but IL conditions are
favorable armies sometimes appear,
moving In solid masses across fields,
destroying all vegetation. The full
grown larvae enter the ground, pnpate
in earthen cells, and emerge in about
two weeks as moths. In some ATTITUDES
two, and frequently three, broods will
develop in a single season. The worms
are attacked by great many enemies,
such as birds, parasitic insects and In
fictitious diseases. Their natural enc
mics usually hold them in check, SO
that there Is little extended injury to
crops. If, however, the worms are very
numerous, the migration from one field
to another may be prevented by con
structing barriers, as In the case Of
chinch bugs. Deep burrows with per-
pendiculiar sides, boards set on edge
with the upper edge smeared with tar,
blowing under infested crops and roll
Ing, have all proved efiicacious in GER
tain instances, and can all be tried with
profit. Much was expected Of the vari-
Gus fungous diseases which have not
proved entirely satisfactory. Spraying
infected crops with london purple or
paris green has been tried with good
results, but other methods should prob
ably be resorted to first.

Yarieties I'm Timothy.

The West Virginia Experiment Sta
ton is testing specimens Of timothy
grass that ripen at different times and
otherwise show such peculiarities that
1t is hoped to make new varieties Of
them. We have not much faith that
this can be done. Years ago we have
seen timothy that was very late in
ripening, but it was always accounted
for by the fact that 1t grew on low,
wet ground, where 1t did not start to
growing until very late. The heads Of
this late timothy were extremely long,
some of them foot or more In length,
but the seed from these heads sown on
warm upland produce timothy Of the
usual type, and which ripened at the
usual time. The growth of timothy has
always varied very much with the kind
of soil 1t occupied, but the grass has
its fixed characteristics that are COM
mon to all.

KAIsER's NEW YACHT.

with Flying Colors. -


Emperor Williams new yact, Meteor,
passed through her first racing tests
and came out Of them with flying col.
ors. His Majesty's cutter was designed
by Mr.. Watson, the famous marine
architect and built by D. & w. Hender-
son. OF the other big boats In the
Royal Yacht Club regatta, the only one
which stood any chance Of holding
its own with the German monarch's
yacht was the Britannia, which is owned
by the Prince of Wales. The behavior
Of the Meteor immensely pleased the
yachting critics, who say that she is
the greatest yacht for light wind ever
turned out in England. Her builders
and designer designed and built Val
kyrie, and Meteor is Infinitely speedier
and better fashioned. Experts hold
that in a blow the Meteor would be a
dangerous craft for any racing vessel
afoat Great things may be expected
of her before the aquatic season Is at
an end. In her second race Meteor was
well in front at the finish, and Britain.
