Latest Wrinkle in Wells.

The very latest wrinkle in wells, says
the New York Sun, is the empire
scarf. 1t comes two and a half yards
long, and is mennt to be fastened
about the brim of the hat and brought
round and knotted on the left Shout
der. These scarf wells are usually of
dotted net, in black, white, or white
with black dots, and are edged, top
and bottom, with very narrow black
ribbon velvet. Across the ends Of the
scarf is a plating or frilling of fine
lace finger wide, with three rows of
narrow velvet run on or above it as a
border. Others of these scarfs are of
chiffon yelling or Brussels net, in
cream color, cardinal or russell brown.
When of a becoming shade, these soft,
futtersome veilings form pretty
frame for delicat eface and enhance
the bloom Of even a glowing beauty.

whisky Expert. in Arkan.a. Courts

Whisky Experts in Arkansas Courts.
Rather novel proceeding came up
before Squire Hastings court one day
last week. A writ of. replevin had been
brought to recover horse that had
been traded while the plaintiff was I'M
der the influence of liquor. The de-
PENDANT was his own lawyer. He put
in a plea that person was never SO
drunk but what he knew what he was
doing, and called in John Baker as a
whisky expert, to prove that fact, but
it is said that the expert got tangled
up somewhat and failed to convince
the court that the position taken by
the defendant was correct. From this
on, we presume, whisky experts will
become popular, as we could mention
several that are in training.-Boone

Eye.
A we'll known Italian confectioner
In the downtown district was last
night made dupe in a novel swim
ding scheme, that cost him $50. A
stranger came to the fruit stand, and,
while looking over the bananas, sud-
denly lost his glass eye among the
fruit. After searching for a while he
went away, saying that if the Italian
found his eye he should take it to his
hotel, and there he would receive 500
for it. A few moments later another
stranger came along. The Italian saw
him grasp the glass eye while examin-
ing some fruit. That was too much
for the owner to stand, and he offered
the stranger $50 for the eye. The
offer was accepted, but when the Ital-
ian took his prize to the hotel there
was no one there to reclaim it. He
notified the police Of the swindle.-

1t Stopped His Growing.
From the petroit Free Press.


Grumper isn't his name, but it will
serve. He's big man with big voice,
big appetite, big heart, big bank account
and rather big opinion of himself He
belongs to that extensive class that come
in from the country, begin in small way
and push along till they are among the
leaders in their respective callings. 1t is
not long since he married dainty little
woman whose chief aim is to please him.
For weeks, day by day, he registered the
familiar complaint that no cooking tasted
as good as his mothers used to- Mrs.
GrrFdSe, was so anxious to please him and
remove tbs cause of complaint that she
roasted fRiiid, stewed and. broiled herself
the kltes.en, but Grumper never ceased
to yearn for ''mother's cooking.
One day a plain, but CHEEKY, old lady
appeared at Grumper' front door. She
was the mother, and had come long way
just to see her boy once more and give him
a surprise. He would not be home till
evening, and his little wife enticed the old
lady into the cooking department, deter
mined that lie should at last be made
happy, The mother used plenty of grease,
made plenty of smudge and felt more at
home than she would have been in the
parlor. She was induced to remain in her
room till the meal was we'll under way to
see if Grumper did not recognize the food
as prepared by her hands. He shifted the
air of the diningroom and there was an un-
pleasant look on his face He scanned the
table and the look deepened. He tried a
few dishes, laid aside his knife and fork,
turned to his wife and declared that he
could stand it no longer. He had hoped
that she would learn, but this was, by all
odds, the worst yet. He would write for
his mother and she could remain till the
wife learned her ways
When he knew all he wilted, admitted
that tobacco might have spoiled his taste,
and now eats any old thing with relish.

Well Trained Horses.

Barnum's circus will go to London,
England, in December and Mr.. o Brien,
who has world reputation as a horse
trainer and who has shown his horses in
this country wherever the show has exhib-
tied this season, will take them with the
circus. Read what follows and see what
intellect and patience can accomplish with
the brute creation
The single act of 20 horses exhibited
by Trainer O. Brien in one ring is enough
to merit an almost unlimited patronage of
the circus even were all the other countless
attractive features omitted O Brien enters
the ring on a white Arabian stallion, and
rides to a pedestal in the centre of the
ring. to which number of concentric
platforms, forming steps, lead. -Four black
stations next come in and run up to the
third platform and place their forefeet on
the one above, forming star. Seven
light sorrels are then brought, and after
them nine bays They take a position
similar to the first four, forefeet ON the
platform above them, forming star Of
intricate pattern Then IL Kentucky
thoroughbreds form compact groups at
each side, with forefeet on the outer curb
After them come 20 other thoroughbreds
in similar groups. Last Of all, Is Shet-
land ponies mount to the outer curb. At
the word of command each ring of horses
begins to move, every alternate one in
the opposite direction. They halt, reverse
positions and then start in the opposite
direction at a rapid gait Finally they
untangle the weaving pattern and trot
from the ring. in the reverse order, thus
closing one of the prettiest and most intri-
cate acts ever seen in circus ring.

A Giant Harvester.
From Harper,s weekly.

This season, in the great wheat growing
section of the San Joaquin Valley, a giant
harvester has been in use which cuts,
threshes and sacks the wheat growing on
one hundred acres daily. The machine,
when all its sickles are in use, cuts the
enormous swath of fifty-two feet Eight
or ten men are able to handle it easily, and
it turns out from 400 to 1900 sacks of
wheat in a ten-hour day.
The machine is arranged with central
body, which is the regulation twenty six
foot harvester On each side of this main
sickle is a thirteen-foot sickle. When the
machine began work this year, the traction
engine, which was built specially for it,
pushed this enormous harvester through
the heavy grain of the islands in the San
Joaquin River as easily as team of horses
would draw wagon on road. When,
however, the softer ground was reached,
the weight of the machine proved to be so
great that the wheels sank into the sell,
and the traction engine could not perform
its work as rapidly as it should have done,
hence, there was a great loss of power.
To remedy this, the side sickles had to be
removed
The output of the machine in this new
form is 600 to 500 sacks per day. Next
season the owners will use it on upland
only, where they will be able to employ all
three of the sickles, thus making it the
largest harvester in the world
