market presented varying degrees 81
strength during the session, with only
moderate activity in the aggregate. Inc

Bone Castings.

Mistake is made by many "home
dressmakers" in putting on bone cas-
ings drawn very tightly. They should
be left loose-even wrinkled as the
bones when inserted will bring them to
their proper arching shape on the in
side. Whalebone soaked in warm water
an hour before using render them more
pliable. Belt ribbon should never be
sewed to the underarm seams. Bent
hooks should be chosen for fastenings,
setting ON first hook and then an eye,
and so on alternately down the bodice,
and it will never unlock of itself.
Waist Innings are cut an inch longer than
the outside to allow for the stretching
Of the outside material. The extra
length is taken up gradually in the
seams.

PROSPERITY AND ITS PROPHETS.

Curiously enough, the return OF pros
perity under the celebrated advance
agency is attended with almost as
much pickering and unseemly strife as
the election which preceded it. The
trouble seems to spring from the I'M
bounded desire of certain sort OF pol
iticians in and out of newspaper offices
to announce unprecedented revlyals OF
ndustry-without the precautioD OF
ascertaining the facts and, on the
other hand, hostile band of patriots
who seem eager to deny that any
quickening of the wheels of industry
has resulted at all. One of our local
contemporaries, for example, encOun-
tiers this serious charge 1T the hands
of the News, of Highland Falls:
In its list of industries which the
New York World of Monday claimed
to have resumed bushes since Mchln-
ley's election, three are accredited to
Highland Falls. Comment is unneces-
sary. Two of three never had an ex-
istence here, and the third one alluded
to is the Forest of Dean Mines, which
has not resumed, and probably never
will, as the territory belonging to the
company has long since been exhaust
ed.
This case is not unique. Exagera-
tion in the glowing stories of prosper
ity's return has been the rule. Mills
have been reOpened on paper which
never existed on earth. Thousands
of men have been suddenly employed
in hamlets populated by scores only.
The reopening of factories which clos
ed for political purposes only is grave
ly chronicled as Legitimate revival of
industry. SO notorious have the err
rOrs Of Observation-Disclosures deliberate
ar ccidental-becOme that the Phila-
delphia Record is moved to charge the
wicked silver men with wilfully send
ing in false reports to the gold papers
in order to bring discredit upon those
always temperate and trustworthy or
gans of publ information New
