A window-box Flower Garden.

A window box may be a very chean
or very expensive affair, but a cheap
one. made out of IA packing box, will
grow flowers just as we'll rs costly
one made of tiles. All thar is neces-
sary is something that will hold soil.
1t is not enough TO simply nail win
dow boxes to the wall; brace should
run -lengthwise of the box, and be
strongly brackated at zach end to
furnish support for the box. The
soil with which the box is filed
should be rich; plants will not grow
in poor earth, 1t is often difficult to
gst good soil in the city, but the addi-
tion of little bonemeal, which can be
procured from any store where garden
seeds are sold. will make poor soil
sufficiently rich in all elements OF plant
food TO insure SUCCESS. If you do not
feel able to afford fertilizer the use of
soapsuds on washing day will supple
ment, to considerable extent, what
ever nutrimenr is contained is such soil
as happeos to be available. Ladies'

FAMOUS EXCURSION.
senry WIZARDS Costly Party and Its Disas-
W Irnus End.

trous End.
A northwestern congressman who
was on the famous excursion which
Henry Willard gave to witness the driy-
ing of the golden spike of the Northern
Pacific road. says the Washington Post,
recalled some OF its interesting features
recently:
1T was the greatest iunketing trip
in the history Of the United States.
bar none,'' said he. ''Villard had
completed the road, putting an enor-
nous amount of money in it, and he
decided that be could interest English
ard German capital In the enterprise
by, taking the capitalists themselves
out over tho road. So he made up his
party, including large number OF dis.
tinguished Americans-Gen. Grant
among them, ! remember-and four
trains of Pullman cars, each train
hauled by two locomotives, started for
the Northwest. You never saw such
entertainment as was lavished Oh the
party. Champagne flowed like water,
and no one was allowed TO pay for any
thing-not even for shave or nows-
paper. The trip altogether must have
cost at least G400, 000 for there were
400 persons in the party, and 81, 600 per
head is low estimate.
well the tragic part Of 1t was yet to
come. Tho sword of Damocles was
hanging over Villard's head all the
time and he did not know it. He had
invited the English and German capt.
talists to go out over the road. They
had never sesn anything except rail
roads between cities closely situated
and they could not appreciate transcon-
tinental lines. They could not under
stand how road could puy that ran
through long stretches of unsettled
country and while the. were dining off
Wizards terrapiu and champagne tney
were wiring back to New York and
London to sell the Northern Pacific
stock. The stock, which was worth 78
or tbereabuuts when he left the east,
kept dropping until it was down to SO.
Willard could not account for the de.
cline. Finally he was telegraphed to
hasten TO New York to bolster up his
property. Hiring special engine he
hurried East as fast as eteam could
carry him, leaving his guests to follow
behind him, which they did, but mark
ing every mile uf the way with a
drunken orgy, Champagne bottles wero
flung around the cars and out OF the
windows and costly cigars were tram
pied under foot, just for the fun OF
cI uuching them.
1.-THE sequel of that famous trip
always reminded me Of Eapoleon's trip
to and from Moscow. He went out 10
glory and hurried home on a sled to
save his head and crown, while his
army followed in rour behind him.
Willard, travelling on special engine
to save himself from ruin, was history
repeating iiself.''

The season,s FancIes Ia Bells.

The belts this season are of fins kid.
with silver, gilt filigree or enamhled
buckles. The harness belts with severely
plain buckles are considered very sty-
lish. A new style of belt has two buckles,
one on either side of the front, TO make
the waist line look smaller. Leather
now may be had in all colors to match
all gowns. Black silk belts are most
becoming TO stout figures as they fit
closely to the form. Slender buckles
give longer waist apparently. JeweIed
and enamsled belts are Gressy, but
should never. under any consideration,
be worn with cotton shirt waists or
cotton dresses. Belts of all kinds are
preferred an inch and quarter wide.

Get Their Passage Free.

One of the novel details in the trans.
portation of CATTLE across the Atlantic
is the employment of men by govern
ment order to feed and otherwise tend
the stock during the passage. These
hands are employed by the shippers.
1t is one of the provisions Of the law
that there shall be four men to each
100 cattle and cne to each $50 sheep.
The New York newspapers contain from
time to time an advertisement for men
who desire free passage across the
Atlantic. The offer is free board and
transportation as an equivalent for
tending live stock. The shippers say
that they have no trouble in getting
all the help of this kind that they
need. Most of the men who apply are
natives OF European countries who for
some reason or other wish TO return.
Some have been in this country trying
to better their condition, while others
have come to visit relatives or look
after property 10 which they have
fallen heir. They can save the price
of ticket by working their passage
and have good board besides. A spirit
of adventure often takes man on one
of these trips. and if it is purely
recreation and little taste of trough
ing it" that person seeks the oppor-
tunity is excellent. New York Times.
