Silken sleeves can be made very pref

frill, which draws all the extra width
of the sleeve close at the back of the
arm. The fullness at the shoulder Is
drawn into pleats. Sometimes the
fullness can be ORA wn to either side in
wing fashion, and secured by braiding.
Still another method, quite in harmony
with dressy gown, Is to wind the
sleeve after all stiffness is out with a
spiral of ribbon, the fullness being pref
tily adjusted thereby, and bow at the
shoulder finishing the effect. Still an
other way is to make n deep tuck

of the fullness being taken out of the

in folds from the shoulder. Care must
be exercised that this method may not
give bunchy look.

Rockford, Ill.-The victory for sound
money has already had a marked effect
on business interests in Rockford, this
city depending on its factories, which
have in the main been idle or running on
part time since 1893. The Rockford
Manufacturing Company, which has been
smut down all summer, will start up with
several hundred hands, and the Trahern
Pump Company, which has been idle for
some months, though stocked with orders
contingent on McKinley's election, will
do likewise.
Toledo, O.-Prosperity follows here in
the wake of McKinley's election. The
NJ. ]. Cooney Carriage Works, which
shut down sixty days ago, will resume
with 100 men. The Toledo Forge Com
pany will increase its force of 100 men
to 800 at once. The Gendron Wheel
Company, whose plant has been closed,
will resume work in few days with 500
men. Several large business firms have

circles is one Of relief at the result Of the
election.
Louisville, Ky.-The election OF Nc
Kinley is having an excellent effect in
Louisville. The b. Il. Avery Plow Man

The Army Worm.

While we do not think there Is much

The eggs are very small. slobular in

and In bits of corn stalk that have been
left upon the surface of the ground In

has been noted by many. that the
worms started IN blue grass pastures
on which cord fodder had ben fed to
cattle.
The young caterpillars come forth in
about ten days from the [; nc the eggs
are laid. In case the eggs were placed
on fresh grass or grain, the young lar

longitudinal stripes running the full

the insects life begins when the cater

emily lifeless creature. This stage is

Preserye n Record.

1t would be no bad plan for every
farmer, and particularly for every
young farmer, to make a resolution
and keep ito preserve an Ineligible
record of all his transactions, the
times, the seasons. the crops grown,
the dates of planting, with such his
tory of their progress as will throw
light upon the results reached. How
ones time has been employed, what
work was done, when, and in short
every fact relating to the economy Of
the farm might be briefly but intelli-
gibly noted. Such a record, even for
a single year, would be Of value In
planning for the next year, enabling
the farmer 10 better plan his work, be-
cause the points at which he succeed
ed, as well as those at which he failed
during the previous year, would be
full of suggestion and reminder.

half an hour, the result would be such an
overwhelming tornado that even the
fercest cyclone ever known in this coun-
try would be a gentle zephyr compared
to 1t. If. Mr.. Bryan had carried Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa and Michigan, in addition
to those States that went Democratic,
he would have been elected. These four
States, however, were lost by 2S5,OOO
votes. Five hundred ballots weigh GO
pounds. The 2S5,000 ballots, therefore,
weighed 81, 200 pounds, OF little more
than IL tons. Against the velocity of
49, 1888 1-3 cubic feet of air, compressed
in one mans lungs, they would have no
more resistance than, a single sheet of
tissue paper in a gale. And that was the
painful conclusion which confronted Mr..
Bryan last Tuesday night.

HOW eRyANs oRAToRY BLEW AWAY THE BALLOTS

has been very carefully estimated, how
ever, that Mr.. Bryan spoke no less than
$4,000 words. A man weighing 80
pounds, when not under exertion, inhales
$50 cubic feet of air in an hour and ex-
pels 40 cubic feet, the difference (oxy-
gem being absorbed in the system. Mr..
Bryan, because of his great physique, ex
pels from his lungs every hour not less
than 160 cubic feet of air. A public
speaker, however, and especially one of
Mr.. Bryan's tremendous energy, requires
fully eight times as much air to sustain
his oratorical efforts. In an hour of
speech-making, therefore, Mr.. Bryan re-
quires 1850 feet of air. Mr.. Bryan
speaks at the rate of 40 words minute.
Allowing for applause and other inter
ruptions, 125 words every sixty seconds
would be a fair estimate. If he could
speak the $4,000 words that came from
his throat during the campaign, without
stopping to rest, II would take him ZIG 2-3
hours. In that space of time he would
require 149,333 1-3 cubic feet of air.
Suppose that this tremendous volume
could be stored in Mr.. Bryan's lungs at
one time, and that he could expel it in
