In the accompanying picture this method is Illustrated, and here there is a repeti- ton of the skirt trimmings design upon the bodice, though without the pre- viously mentioned princess effect. Light brown cloth was used in this gown, havana brown Woolen braid trimming it. The fronts of its jacket were dou- ble, the upper ones having slashed rev CTS edged with braid, and the under showing a row of buttons on each side and opening over a bluose of white china silk, with linen stock collar and plaid tie. Triple epaulettes edged with braid finished the sleeves. A coming form of dress trimming is the old-time gimpe and fringe, which are reappear- ing. Every one seems to expect the re- turn of silk fringe, and doubtless we shall soon stop thinking of sofas and chairs when we plan to fringe our own curves.
 It is permissible to wear white collar and cuffs with plaid gingham waist, but you may not wear a white collar and plaid gingham shirt with cuffs to match the skirt Seven times seven you must not wear one kind of skirt, an- other kind of collar and third kind of cuffs. The soft four-in-hand stock is being made up in all sorts of ginghams, cheviots and muslins, and is at once comfortable and dressy, but it not exact and so the tailor girl will have none of it. But then she does not expect to be comfortable. FLORETTE.

PIRATES OF THE MISSOURI.
A Narrative of the Early Days of the
 Fur Trade.

The Blackfeet, Sioux and Pawnees were not the only enemies encountered by the boatmen in the early days of the fur trade along the Missouri.
 As in every Indian-infested region, there were desperadoes and renegades of the white race occasionally ready to turn their hands against their fellows. And once, at least, within the recollec- ton of Jean Gaspin, band of these carried on series of successful boat robberies, covering a period of more than two years.
 It was before the day of steamers, when small blockhouses and trading

FASHION NOTES.
Up and Down Trimming.

Entirely plain skirts are seldom seen, and ornamentation from waist to hem is as often employed as is the circular style of trimming. The perpendicular naturally adds to the height, and a princess effect is given by trimming ex- tending down the front from waist to hem, which seems continued by similar trimming to the throat on the bodice, a folded sash making the only break at the waist line. In tailor finish dresses, too, the skirt trimming may run up

An improved kind of steam engine, in which two cylinders are arranged side by side and have their piston rods connected to a common crank shaft, is credited to the inventive genius of H. S. Blanchard of Helena, Montana. The engine has no dead centre, and its rotary valves are arranged to so cut off and cut in the steam that volume of one full port will always be exerted on a piston, when the crank is on the quarter, giving the greatest leverage, there being no pressure eXerted and energy lost when crank is on the cen Ire. The cranks are placed at an an- gle of ninety degrees to each other, one being arranged directly on the shaft and the other on the fly wheel, the steam chest being midway of the cylin- ders. in the bottom of the steam chest is a base plate serving as seat for the rotary valves, which revolve above

In speaking of the gold mining con- vention which is to be held in Denver, Colorado, on July z, a Colorado man says: "So much has been said and written about the silver States of the West the flood of silver the cheap metal etc., that a widespread delu- sion has arisen in the eastern States in regard to the facts. Of the precious metals, In the States west of the Mis- sissippi, gold not silver, is the leading product. It is therefore more correct to call them gold States. There is every indication that gold will continue in the lead in the future, as well as the past. The recent revolution in gold mining, caused by the invention of the cyanide process, which permits the working, at a profit, of low-grade gold ores heretofore deemed worthless, and the recent discoveries of extensive gold fields in Utah, Colorado and other west ern States, indicate that for the com ing ten or twenty years, at least, there will be a production of gold far in ex- cess of that of silver"

That motor carriages have been brought to high state of perfection in France is indicated by the annual re- port of the General Carriage company of Paris. The company is about to put 500 self-propelled vehicles in regular service, and within a year the proba- bility is that it will have few horses on the streets. Its preference is for electric motors, although petroleum machines will have thorough trial. In a city it will not be difficult to keep the batteries charged, and there is no question as to the superiority of elec-

The London Chronicle calls attention to the remarkably low death rate in many of the model dwellings in that city. In particular there is found i'll the houses of the Metropolitan Asso- citation for Improving the Dwellings, of the Working Classes, which is now in its f1fty-third year, a death rate of only 9.64 to the thousand. The inmates of these houses number 6,430, and are housed in fourteen blocks in different parts of the city, This rate is only half the rate for the whole of London The Chronicle says: "These model dwell- ings. judged by this fact, are as good as a health resort. There was notably a great saving in infant life. These things speak well for the good sanitary state of the dwellings, and also show that disease is much easier checked among people living in communal system than in slums, where they lead a more isolated existence"

the widow got him into that private
mrlor and called him Fifty and

she was after, however, was cold cash.
One of her lady friends in Boston

her, and yet awfully wanted to oblige,
she was compelled to ask for loan.
She would give Fifty $4,000 worth Of
diamonds to hold as security-having
them in the hotel safe-but of course he

The millionaire bachelor with the
swollen ankles was the next victim.

heart was in a bad way. The wretched

and he had just figured out to his own
satisfaction that he hadn't one show

was placed in his hand and he was
almost lifted out of his chair. He was
asked to meet the widow in that same
parlor, and he didn't lose any valuable
time getting there. AS his first name

EARLY FALL. FLOWING.
Its Advantages Considered from .
h Scientific Viewpoint.


s- Scientific Viewpoint.
The advantages of fall blowing over
the same operation in the spring are
dwelt upon by Prof. II. Snyder, OF the
College of Agriculture of the University
of Minnesota.
Fall blowing keeps the humus and
nitrogen of the soil in better condition
than late spring blowing. Nitrltlca7
ton goes on in the soil until quite late
in the fall, and in the south the process
goes on the entire year. The change is
most rapid near the surface, where
there is plenty of oxygen from the air.
In early fall blowing the available nj
trogen formed from the humus is near
the surface, where it does the sprouting
seeds and the young crops the most
good. With late spring blowing. this
available nitrogen is plowed under, and
inert organic nitrogen is brought to the
surface.
In old soils the process of nitrifcation
does not go on rapidly enough to fur
nish available nitrogen to the crop. In
new soil the process of nitrification is
liable to go on too rapidly. Deep plow'
ing and thorough cultivation aid in
nitrifcation. Hence, the longer the soil
is cultivated. the deeper and more thor.
ough must be it's preparation. Flowing
must be done at the right time, prefer
ably in the fall so as not to interfere
with the next years water supply. The
application of lime and wood ashes aids
in the reduction of nitrogen of humus tc
available forms, and prevents the forma
ton of sour mold. Good drainage is
also necessary to nitrification in the soil
In water-logged soils the humus does
not decompose normally, but peat is
produced on account of the absence OF
oxygen. We thus see that notification
although sometimes a serious source OF
loss, may be largely controlled by care
full management of the soil.

The women did not take kindly to
the Widow Hendricks, nor did she cult
vate them. While woman is woman's
worst enemy, it takes woman to cor
rectly size up one of her own sex. The
women called Mrs. Hendricks superb
cial, firtatious, conceited, and all that.
They also said she was tricky, and but
for fear of the law would have called
her an adventures. Perhaps some of
them did, to their husbands, but if SO
the husbands answered:
"Now, my dear, stop right there. You
are jealous Of her good looks and fine
figure, but don't carry the thing too
far. She has right to amuse herself
and that's all she's doing"

to be dissatisfied with the attentions
she received. She was sun around

her in her private parlor. She knew l

and sat down close beside me and be-
gan:
''Now, George (for the first tme), you
are angry at me, and [ can't tell you

LASTING PROSPERITY.
What Farmers Must Do to Enjoy lts
Coveted blessings.

What Farmers MUST 10 10 E-"JOS ANS
Coveted Blessings.
The press of the country is full OF
,alk about the prosperity of the farmer
this year, and many figures are given to
show what an increased harvest OF dol
lars our farmers will reap. While there
il; much exaggeration in many OF these
statements, there is much truth also.
Farming is a better business than it
has been. Good crops and fair prices
tor them at the elevator or through
the feed lot have put our farmers IN
better position than since 1891. Still
there is room for improvement-no
oerely in the markets, but in the con-
aitions that surround farming and
farmers, and which directly affect their
profits. There is room for improve
ment in production of many farms,
looking to a less costly and bet
ter product. There is great need OF
improvement in live stock. both in num-
bers and quality. Such things as these
come within the jurisdiction of every
farmer. But other equally important es-
sentials to greater prosperity lie beyond
the farm and beyond the farmer as amin
dividual. The greatestprosperity cannot
prevail when many of the things the
people must have are controlled by COM
mercial monopolies or trusts. Some
classes may receive incidental benefits
from these organizations, but farmers
do not. They must sell in the open mar
ket usually, and can i'll afford to buy in
Il market that is not open. Allowing the
other fellow to fix the price of so many
things is not productive of the greatest
prosperity. The same thing is, to a
large extent, true of taxation. Too
often farmers have allowed other classes
to impose the burdens which call for
high taxes on farms, while the other
fellow reaped most of the benefits there
from. There must be more caution
about this, if farmers are to realize the
greatest prosperity. And there are other
matters that enter into this problem.
Better education of producers, result
ing in better product and a broader
market; opening of new foreign mar
kets; uniformity of production by the
individual, and. consequently, the mass
of farmers-all these things are essen
tial to true and lasting prosperity. They
will not all be attempted, but in what
ever degree they are approached so faris
farming improved. - National Stock
