EN ROUTE TO THE EQUATOR. An Interesting Description by Min
 ister Sampson of His Journey.

Dr. J. M. Ford yesterday received an interesting letter from General A. J. Sampson, minister to Ecuador. At the time pf writing Minister Sampson had not yet reached his post. He writes:
 "On Steamer San Jose, Off Coast of
 Nicaragua, Nov. 2 ,21897.
 ="Dr. J. M Ford, Phoenix, Arizona: :: My Dear Companion-I promised to give you some 'jottings by the way Where there is so much of interest hardly know what to write. It is i'm possible to write it all. We have now been out twenty -one days, having left San Francisco on the 18th ut. A number of Arizona and other friends were at the pier towave us off. For the first three days we were not out of sight of land. Fortunately our state rooms are on the land side, so we get a view of all of interest. The numerous stops made, when we have been able to go ashore, have contrib uted largely to the pleasure of our voyage.

EVERYTHING POIhTS

To very large trade in Premo Cam eral this month. In anticipation of this demand for the best cameras on the market, we have just placed with the Rochester Optical Company the largest single order ever sent from the Pacific coast. These goods will be added to OUT present large stock within ten days, and include every thing in the Premo line, from $5 to $50.
 We make a speciality of furnishing firsit-class outfits to amateurs or pro fessionals who wish to get their moneys worth and take REAL PHO TOGRAPHS. We know many are waiting until Christmas to buy; to those we say, order early, and have the goods set aside. We have never sold as many outfits before in 30 days as we have in the past 10 days, and we believe the best trade is yet to come.

in such a manner as to cross and recrCSS
in kind of trellis-work design. Gray
tullc makes the most charming gowns
imaginable, and the fancy of the mo-
ment is to line them throughout with
white glace silk, with skirt and waist
trimmings of black ribbon velvet and
point de Nenise lace. This idea is very
prcttily carried out in the gown shown
in the picture.
For the summer girl, to whom the
charms of the cotton shirt seem never
to wane, there is much of interest in the
new ones that have been placed on eX-
hibition during the past week. They
are made by duly qualified shirt
makers, and are not to be cCnfounded
with the cheap ready-made garment so
much in evidence these days. There are
fascinating features about all of them,
but the pretticst, l think, are made of
fine white cambria. These look exceed
ingly dainty with their insertions of
fine embroidery and frills of cambria
edged with narrow lace. The new plaid
cotton shirts have exactly the appear
ance of silk, although they are, of
course, far more economical. They
wash most beautifully, too, and will be
found useful for all outing purposes.
Cheaper, though not nearly so success
| full, are some in pink batiste, spotted
all over with white, which look their
best when completed with large turn
down collar of linen with white silk
tie. This style of collar is only becom-
ing, however, to the very young throat,
for, alas, the rundown collar will re.
veal each separate wrinkle with a frank
ness positively brutal.
| From shirts to belts seems natural
transition, and certainly waistbelts
were never more attractive than at the
present time. The variety is unlimited
and prices very reasonable, quality con-
sidered. / was particularly pleased
with one design carried out in black
satin with oxidized silver medallions
Another smart looking one was made OF
white kid with enamel medallions in
blue white and gold linked together
with small gold chains. Exceedingly
pretty, and yet not very costly, are the
gold-filigree belts, the filigree medal
lions being connected with narrow
bands of gold galloon.

zone trouble with the American farm
er is that he will raise what he thinks
people ought to want, and not what
they do want"
That is the answer of Secretary
James Wilson to the question: What
is the matter with agriculture"
The secretary of agriculture ought to
know what is the matter with it If any
one does.
| found the secretary in his office
when called at the department Il few
days ago. His confidential clerk sat op-
posite him at his big, tlat-topped desk,
and two or three Of his bureau chiefs
came in and waited for word with him
while ne was telling me what allied the
farmer.
Take my own state, Iowa. for eN-
ample" said the secretary. 1--WE have
been raising there Il little, wiry horse of
1900 pounds or thereabuts under the
impression that it was wanted. Now
we find that people want draft horse
of about 500 pounds, and they will pay
good price for it. They want stylish
carriage horse, or good riding horse,
or a horse for army use.
1T is true, also, in "A great many
cases, that the American farmer does
not know the best use to make of his
products. My state raises one-seventh
of the total corn crop of this country
To-day the cribs are full, and the best
price the farmer can get for his corn it
Is cents q bushel. Not long ago tried

tied bows Of ,eaf green ribbon were at
each shoulder supported by full puffs
of white chiffon. while round the waist
was the invisible sash of lace and chif
fon, tied in big double knot with flow
ing ends that reached to the bottom of
the skirt.
Spotted muslin, both white and col
orcd. is much liked for summer gowns.
and the fancy of the moment is TO trim
them in bands of openworli insertion
through which is threaded very fine
baby ribbon tied here and there in small
rosettes, or else the somewhat newer
butterfly bow. The gown in the picture
represents one of the newest and, |
think, prettiest models. 1t is of white
muslin patterned in red and blacl; made
over cerise tatfeta. the rufilcs on the
skirt being OF chiffon, accordion plated.
while the yoke is of fine white lace
mounted on black velvet, the whole be-
ing crowned by iaunty little lace
toque simply trimmed with sprigs of
mignoncttc and loops Of velvet in the
same soft shade of green. Speaking of
millinery reminds me that the furorr
for flowers is distinctly abatCd in favor
OF feathers This item will nor prove
interesting reading to the woman on
economy bent, for you know really
good feathers arc never cheap: 50 un-
less one is prepared to pay what at first
glance seems rather a high price. or is
fortunate enough TO have several good
ones left over from passed seasons, it
would be wiser to eschew entirely the
charms of the befeathercd hat.
The craze for gray is gaining in as
tendency with every passing hour and
when and where it will end no one pre-
tends to know 1t is in itself a most
glorious shade, but as rule vastly un-
becoming, not one complexion in hum
| dred being able to endure its cold tone.
However, am well aware that this fact
! will not stand in the way of its adoption
by those women who insist upon hav-
ing the latest" at any price even
though it be the price of good appear
ance For those, however, who can sue
cessfully wear it there is nothing more
delightfully."- cool looking or genteel
than gray gown. Gray grcnnadine in
that rather peculiar shade which shows
the faintest CLINT of pink on it's silky
surface is in great demand, and the
proper way to fashion such frock is
to mount it over deep rose pink lin

bands of black ribbon velvet arranged

dress in rags, let his hair grow long,
and yell over hard times; but the farm
cr who gets return of so cents bushcl

merry over the return of prosperity,
And the secretary slapped his thigh
vigorously to illustrate and emphasize
his remark.

corn to his cows. He found that they
ate five cents worth a day and yielded
IS cents in milk. A farmer who gets
that return can grow Rich"
Mr.. Wilson went south with the pres
ident in his recent trip; he found two
things that interested him, he says.
One was that the women of the south
have accepted the result of the war;
at least, those whom Mn. Wilson met
had stopped fighting and laid down
their arms.
Another thing that interested me-
he said, "was the condition OF the soil.
1t is a very shallow SOIL and they have
been planting the same crop in it year
after year until every bit of organic
matter has gone out of it; the soil is all
worn out. We went to Belle Mead
farm. where Gen. Jackson is raising
blooded stock. He has ten or IL hne
stations and 100 brood mares; but he
has found that the business is not prof
liable. People wouldnot pay the prices
he wanted; so he has put herd OF 81
cows on the farm and gone into dairy
work. That interested me. l think the
people of the south ought to plant
grasses and take to grazing. They
should put five-sixths of their land into
grass, and the other sixth into some
thing else. BY changing around from
year to year they could soon restore
their soil to it's owMfertility. They
have the finest grazing country in the
United States except the northwest;
and they have this advantage over the
northwest-they can Craze all the yeal
round"
l asked Mr.. Wilson if he thought tht
farmers were profiting by their lessons
in scientific agriculture.

said. "The experiment stations are do
ing splendid work. The bulletins OF

teagown cannot be too elaborate or
dressy, according to the latest edict OF
Dame Fashion. The models brought
out within the month are exceedingly
pleasing. if only on account Of their
good taste and perfect originality. In
the matter of material there is absolute
" no limit, all kinds being used, from
the softest sheeIest muslin to the finest
silk ard satin, although must say that
fabrics which naturally fall into grace
full folds should be given the preference.
1t may be for this very reason that some
of the handsomest models seen thus
far have been made of silk crepon,
material whose usefulness and beauty
were never quite appreciated until
called into use for this purpose.
Foulard silk is also much in demand,
and as it is very light, not easily
crushed or mussed, it makes an ideal
gowning for warm weather wear.
Torquoise blue, rose pink and delicate
heliotrope are perhaps the favorite
colors in foulard silks at the present
moment. a cream-tnted ground show
ing u small scroll design in bright scar
let makes most effcctiye-looking tea
gown, but is naturally not nearly so
durable as when the reverse order pre-
walls.
Where all are so charming it is really
quite difficult to select one more worthy
descriptions than another, but one model
in particular struck me as Eeing quite
out of the ordinary. 1t was made of
pretty fou.ard silk, showing dash here
and there of pink and green mingled
with black on pure white ground.
The fronts were cut loose and flowing
and hung in straight lines from the
shoulder to the hem, and were edged
their entire length with full frills OF
narrow white lace, while showing be-
meath was an inner front of pale green
chiffon mounted over pink. The pretty
ruched sleeves were of the silk and
finished in the most simple manner at
the wrist with two tiny frills of pinl;
and green chiffon. Another, equally
pretty yet much less elaborate, was of
silk crepon in the most exquisite shade
of tan, its novel feature being Il many

day is very different from what it was
a few years ago. The farmer to-day
would not listen to the talk he used to
hear. The doctor and the preacher
used to be asked to speak sometimes,
and they would make humorous re-
marks. Nowadays the farmer would not
stand that a minute. The talk you hear
at his meetings now is all practical.
Farming has become a science. Take
dairying for example. 1t is as different
from the old dairying as the transport
alton of to-day is from that of 100
years ago. The farmers wife used to
throw away one-third of the butter fat
in her milk. To-day the separator saves
every bit of it. We make in this coun-
try to-day the finest butter and cheese
in the world. England makes nothing
, like it, Unfortunately we have been
sending abroad oleomargarine the
stuff they rub into sleeps wool to

he said in reply. THE parent tree is

United States that we can grow our
own supply. The $1OO,0o0o0O cur peo-
pie pay for sugar every year is the purse
hung up for them, for which they are
striving. Some OF the experiments
with the beet have been discouraging
because the conditions We're not IA
vorable. The sugar beet requires 10,-
600 units of heat for its successful cul-
tivation. Climate and soil must be
chosen with care.
Another thing this department is
doing is to investigate the experiments
which have been going on in the south
for the cultivation of tea. have let
ter here now from the man who has
been conducting the tea farm about his
work and how he has taught the little
co.ored children to pick the leaves. He
is getting better tea there than we can
get from Ceylon or Formosa. l am hav-
ing an investigation made to ascertain
the isothern on which he is working, so
that we can calculate how much of the
territory Of the United States is adapt
ed to the cultivation of tea.
Another thing we have done is to
undertake the investigation of the for
estry question. Not long ago this de-
partment sent to the senate a report on
coniferous trees, showing the destruc-
tion of our forests. Pine is growing
scarcer every year, you know, so that
II has become almost as costly as black
walnut. The time will come when il
will be too expensive for general use;
indeed, they are talking already about
building cars of steel. What interests
us just now, though, more than the de
struction of the pine, is the planting OF
trees in the more arid region. 1 have
man in Asia making investigations o;
the subject.
These are only some of the things w,
have begun to do. This department has
more than 80 divisions. Their work il
all important. have not had time ye
to become well acquainted with mort
than three or four of the divisions.
But as to the value of the agricul
tural departments work, it is spread
ing all the time. Example is more eff
fective than precept. Most men are go
ing to keep on in the way of their ia
theirs and their grandfathers until the.
look over the fence and see their neigh
bors doing something different"
