r ports as to the Con iition Of Eastern
Washington wheat.
Spokane, Wash, Sept. 20.-The re
ports that from one-third to one-h half oil
the wheat crop had been ruined by
rains north of the Snake river are in
correct. A Tacoma grain buyer, who
has just returned from a tour of the
Palouse towns and country, from Ri
paria. on the south, TO Spokane on the
north. states that, if the damage by
rains exceeds FIVE per cent he Is no
judge OF grain. Where the rainfall
was greatest, the grain is bleached, bat
has the . 1ghly dried and is being
threshed and will grade high.
The only important damage report
ed is to so tons of wheat in sacks
stacked on the Snake river awaiting
transportation. Much of it was ruined.
The Potlatch country reports that
not five per cent damage has been done.
About Moscow, Idaho, and ON the
Nez Perces reservation three per cent
will fully cover all lossees.
In the Big Bend country, the great
wheat belt of Central Washington, the
prospects are glowing. Not two per
cent of the crop, which is the largest
ever raised, is damaged, or will be lost.
G. P. Chamberlin. general manager
of the Central Washington railroad,
which handles nearly all the Big Bend
wheat, says absolutely no loss will oc-
cur to standing or stacked grain from
rain.

There is comparatively little change
from season to season in the cut of the
box coats. They may be a trihe
shorter this season than they were
last and the sleeves NAV be smaller,
but the same shape is worn and they
fasten with large buttons just the same
as they did before. They are gener-
ally made with an inlaid velvet collar
of the same shade as the cloth of the
coat, and are always double breasted
with strapped seams in the back.
Eton jackets are coming to be seen on

doubtless will be all the rage as soon

ter how stylish these jackets are, they
are certainly not becoming to stout,

take in wearing them.

GOWN OF CANVAS CHEvIOT.

one time impossibility, a trimmed
tailor.made gown slightly smacking of
the dressmaker's touch, is given in one
of the accompanying sketches. This
material is rich dark green canvas
cheviot lined throughout with shaded
red and green taffeta silk. The garni-
ture consists of green velvet and some
oddly shaped pearl buttons. 7 saw Mrs.
Dodge in a gown of this kind at an af-
ternoon tea last Thursday. This style
Of costume is also much in vogue for
shopping and visiting purposes.
One con see many little pretty
morning street gowns of checks
black and brown, brown and green,
black and white-or rough Scotch
goods. They are made with tight
Citing short jackets trimmed with silk
braid about one-quarter of an inch in
width. The braided gowns have Gre
ated great furor among the best
groomed women, and there are very
lew among the up-to-date ones who
cannot count at least one braided cos
tune in her wardrobe. An example Of
this style OF gown is shown on this
page. In this instance the suit was
developed IN Yale blue broadcloth,
,nd was trimmed with black tubular
braid in elaborate design. Both coat
and skirt were lined with silk which
changed from light blue to pink. The
skirt was of the seven.gored variety,
very plain in front and on the sides,
out with considerable fullness in the
back.

more infinite variety, and popular
evening at the Metropolitan Opera
House presents sight to dream over.
Not only have the boxes this gay and
festive appearance, but the orchestra
as we'll teens with beauty and style.
At the beginning of the season the
management of the Metropolitan re-
quested that every lady present should
remove her hat. So the view of hun
dreds of fashionably dressed coifures
adds greatly to the effectiveness and
brillisncy of the scene.
The variety Of neck novelties for
Transforming plain silk bodice into
something suitable for evening wear
is one OF the special points in dress
this season, and there really seems to
be no limit to the attractive forms
taken by that one small band that en-.
circles the throat. A folded satin
collar with huge bow in the front is
one of the newest fads, while another
has the top of the plain white satin
collar edged with lilliputian feathers
and the four loops of white satin rib.
bon that nestle under the chin are all
edged with the very smallest feathers
possible to obtain.
The Medici collar is also having an
inning now, and every sort of device
which can be thought of is used to
give the soft fluffy effect around the
| neck. Dainty confections of satin,
velvet, lace, chiffon and jewels are
displayed in the stores ready for use,
and, as the collar rarely matches the
bodice in color, they are very useful
purchase.
Calve, that fascinating and popular
singer, brought to America quite a
novelty in the way of All opera hood.
1t is made of lace and gracefully fash
ioned after the style of the mantillas
worn by the women of the sott-skied
Southern lands, where the sunshine
dreams in golden splendor. When the
wsarer reaches the house of amuse-
ment she lifts the lace which is ar
ranged on thin wire bent in an oval
to fit around the head, and allows it
to fall in its own loose folds at the
back OF her neck, where it forms q
beautiful collar. Romance and poetry
seem woven into flmy meshes of this
airy, dainty hood as it clings softly
and lovingly around the sparkling
face of it's wearer. No matter how
elaborate the evening coiffure, the lace
hood can be worn without disturbing
curl or tangling tress.
One of the popular features of this
seasons opera is the matinee given
every Saturday. The orchestra is al
ways crowded with smart women, and
the pretty wraps are almost bewilder-
ing in their variety. An illustration
of particularly pleasing one made of
emerald velvet and edged with chin
chil!a fur is shown in this letter.
The costumes illustrated herewith
were designed by the National Cloak
Co., of New York.

The dryness of the atmosphere trans.
forms most of the street offal into
powder. which sslutes nose, eyes, ears

to have prejudice against their free

Havana is abundantly supplied with
rarks, squares and public places. The
squares are ornamented with royal
palms, and here and there an orange
and banana tree, and now and then an
Indian laurel. The Plaza de Armas,
fronting the Governors palace, and
the Parque de Isabella are two splen'
did specimens of Cuban appreciation
of the richness and fertility of the
soil and the rare climate. The Parque
de Isabella is a picture of gay life in
the avening, and is one of the beauty
spots of Havana.
The cafes are innumerable and some
of them the equal of the best and most

Wealth of Siam.

Vast treasures and rare opportuni-
ties of loot await the future conquerer
of Siam. The royal city, in which is
to be found the palace of the King of
Siam, reminds the European visitor
of conventional fsiryland or the world
of the "Arabian Nights" Everything
that in Europe is made of glass or
china is there made of solid gold. The
very pagoda in which the royal tam
lily worship, and which is situated in
the gardens of the palace, is made of
marble studded with gems and the
precious metals. A ststuette of Buddha
cut out of an emerald of fantastic size,
said to have once belonged to the
Laotians, is in the temple and is sur
rounded by bushes OF gold and silver,
inclosing gold statues six feet high,
each statue being clothed in silk gar
ments studded with gems. No stranger
has ever penetrated into the kings
own private apartments; but accord
ing to the natives they are decorated
in an even more splendid fashion than
are the pagoda and the public or state,
rooms. The present King of Siam,
Chula-L a-Long-Korn, is an exceptionally
enlightened humanitarian- is to
say, he has practically abolished tor
ture, and the ordinary criminal is be-
headed instead of being slowly tor
tured to death, as was once customary.
The Siamese are lively people, and
greatly enjoy playing games and TAX
ing part in populdr fetes. On certain
great occasions sort of regatta takes
place, in which the whole population,
headed by the king and his children,
take part. NJ. Mury declares that at
the present time Great Britain may be
said to absorb all the commerce be-
tween Siam and the outer world, and
for the hundredth time in the Nou-
velle Revue the reader is urged to
take up his staff and help to make
France great colonial Nation.-Nou-

caches, eating and drinking places,
lounging places and resorts of every
color and complexion calculated to
offer opportunity to idle and lazy men.
A recent visitor to the island, describ
ing the habits of the men and their
unspeakable Incidence, says this of the
towns resorts and their habitues:
"The men luxuriate IN the cafes or
spend their evenings in worse places.
A brief period OF the morning only is
given to business, the rest of the day
and night to meeting and lassitude,
smoking and luxurious ease. Evidences
of safety, languor and dullness, the
weakened capacity for enjoyment, are
sadly conspicuous, the inevitable Sc
quence of Incidence and vice. The
arts and sciences seldom disturb the
thoughts of such people.
"The pretentious town house is side
by side with the humble quarters of
the artisan. High life and low life are
ever present in strong contrast, and in
the best of humor with each other,
affordlng elements OF the picturesque,
if not of the beautiful Neatness must
be ignored where such human con-
glomeratlon exists, and, as we all
know, at certain seasons of the year,
like dear, delightful, dirty Naples,
Havana is the hotbed of pestilence.

tions are indulged in in the way of
bell-ringing.
No city in the world, with the pos
sible exception of San Francisco, is
so lavishly supplied with food pro-
ducts as Havana. The earth and the
sea render up all their best fruit, and
living is cheap.
The great Havana market is where
the visitor opens his eyes. An upper
floor and lower open on all sides and
under roof. 1t covers good-sized
block. All Havana is here buying it's
dinner and other supplies. There 1s
multitude of booths, containing
fruits of the tropics, fish, meats,
leather goods, iewelry and curios
such as only seaport mart can pick
ND. The human beings who preside
here are representatives of every ma
tion on the globe.
The hotels are built around a court,
so that every room has direct com.
munication with the open air. ter
race often encircles the upper story
(the second), and on it are shrubberles
and plants, and maybe few parrots.
There is most comfortable place to
sit /; indeed, the majority of the citizens
of Havana spend their time on their
housetops. They dry clothes there,
ana use the space for back yard.
At the hotels, as at many private
houses, two meals day are served
breakfast in the late morning, and
dinner in the evening. Coffee can be
had shortly after rising. Wine is
freely drank. Candles serve as illumin-
alton when you retire.
Almost everybody in Havana smokes
cigarettes. Cigars are very cheap
ordinarily. Cigars that cost 'two for
quarter" in the United States are
bought in Havana for SIS. so hundred.
Other tobacco is equally cheap. and so
men, boys and women smoke.
Even in times of peace civilians are
scarce in Havana. Soldiers stand at
every corner-they are the police.
The uniform is the same blue as the
marines, but the blouse, trousers and
blue cap are trimmed with crimson. A
sword and heavy revolver, and some
times rife, constitute the equip
ment. The Spanish Government Off
cials around the docks are dressed in
cutaway suits of the prevailing blue.
A wide-brimmed straw hat, looped up
at one side with cockade, is familiar
headgear.
There are many other uniforms

In point of fact the price was consid-
cred so outrageous, even for game
cock, that the story of the sale when
it first began to circulate found few,
believers. But it was genuine SALE;
The money was paid and the chicken
taken. .'-t
It was at the Birmingham poultry
show a few weeks ago that this re-
markable transaction took place. The
gamecock in question, a fine black
red, is said to be one of the most per-
feet of its kind in existence. It has q
wonderful reach, is almost perfect in
shape and size, while its fine tail is ona
of it's best points. 1t has a fine ances.
trail record of prizes and triumphs, and
is heavy winner itself. The owner os
the bird was Mr.. Hugh Ainscough.
and the purchaser was Captain Hes-
ton, ,sagent of the Earl of Ellesmere.

There is no city in the world where
noise-pure noise, made for its own
sake and nothing else-reigns as su-
preme as in Havana. At daybreak all
the bells in the city are rung furiously.
Church bells, fire bells, public bells
and private bells unite with one ac-
cord to produce discord calculated
to drive civilized man mad. Add to
this the growing of game cocks, with
which the town is overstocked for
gambling purposes; the rattle OF in
Vulnerable cabs and public convey
ances, the clangor of gongs on street
car lines, electric and otherwise, and
the general roar to which every
waking Havanese adds his mite, and
the city, even in the time of most
slumbrous peace, can we'll be supposed
to surpass any other town of 100000
population in the world.
The populace of Havana, at least in
times of peace and this accounts for
it's disuuietude in times of war-is es'
sentially gay. This accounts for the
number and variety of the cafes,

South American Trade.

In round numbers the foreign com.
merce of South America aggregates
yearly $500, 900. 900 divided in 1894 as
follows: Exports, s43O, 199, ,46O; i'm
ports, S239, 754, ,6O2. Of this amount
the United States imported 800, 147,-
107 and exported $50, 2,644, 400, or less
than one.third of the amount i'm.
ported. No other country imported
so many South American products
within $4,000, 900, but England,
france and Germany outstripped US IN
exports to South America, England
furnishing $97, ITO, 639; France, S49,-
9O9,sOO, and Germany, $34, sl1, ,3Oo.
1t is evident from these figures that we
ought to sell two or three times as
many goods in South America as we
do now, and thus pay for our coffee,
hides and rubber with goods OF our
own production, instead Of paying 81

A Strong Freezer.

Many readers know that mixture
of two parts OF pounded ice and one
part of common salt will reduce the
temperature of anything inclosed so
as to be wholly surrounded by the
mixture (say milk can in an ice cream
freezer) to a point thlrty-six degrees
below that at which water freezes,
saws the St. Louis Republic. There
are but few readers, however, that
know of the remarkable properties OF
q mixture of chloride OF lime and ice.
A mixture OF three parts of crystallized
chloride OF lime and two parts of ice
forms q combination that will freeze
mercury in seven minutes.

expensive materials, for children grow
so rapidly that it is rarely possible to
use a frock more than one season. In
fabrics therA is a most unlimited
variety to choose from. Some Of the
pretty pin checks are particularly
