Picturesque Fashions For Little
" Children ass

The picturesque will prevail this Win
ter more than ever in dressing little
children. Great big poke bonnets with
wide brim tied under the chin, and
with a ruche Of lace and baby ribbon
inside to soften the hard lines, will be
the favorite headgear. These hats, or
rather bonnets, will be of felt, corded
silk and even of velvet, but the last
material will be much less used than
any of the others. In velvet the dark
colors are most fashionable, and the
Manageable effects are the prettiest. In
the lighter materials light colors are
used, while the white felt is used in
preference to any other color.
It might not be thought necessary to
have the coats and cloaks for such
small children made with much atten-
ton to the fit; but. on the contrary,
they must fit we'll, particularly around
the neck and shoulders, and the smart
est looking have the backs fitted most
carefully, although the fronts are loose.
They reach to the heels and have deep
cape-collars trimmed with lace or fur,
sometimes with both. The fur that is
used is very narrow and short-ha ired
variety is preferred. In these cloaks
there are many materials used-the
corded silks, bengalines and even rich
brocades, smooth finished cloths and
velvets- while there are many more
Serviceable, if not quite so dainty,
which are made Of fancy goods of the
rough-haired qualities that are among
the novelty goods this autumn The
same pattern of cloak is used for one
and all, only capes vary in being round
Dr. pointed, but the general effect is the
same. A pale pink bengaline, which,
with poke bonnet to match, is about as
smart a garment as can be we'll de-
signed, has over the cape broad col
lar of white null trimmed with rows
Of narrow Valenciennes lace, which

lined with wool wadding covered with

AN Unpunishable Fight Which Included

AN Onpunishab,e Fight Which Included
a Ratchet.
Last evening about 8 o'clock Sea
vans Chinese laundry at 9O7 Sixteenth
street was the scene of a bloody con-
f1lct between the Chinaman and vii.
liam Roy, his colored tenant, saws the
washington Star. The colored man
entered the laundry on his way to his
apartments on the upper floor, when
See Wah called his attention to the
TACT that he had not paid his rent for
tnree weeks. See Wah wanted his
money or the rooms, and although he
speaks but little English, the colored
man understood just what the celestial
wanted. The celestial and the colored
man were the only ones in the place
at the time, so that when the police
were called in they were unable to
tell just who was to blame but
they were able to see the results.
The Chinaman's Ratchet had heen
used during the fight. Each par
tlclpant had a scar on his face.
This morning See Wah had been treat
ed at the hospital, and the wound on
his face seemed much worse than that
on the face of his adversary. While
the light was in progress several per-
sons from the street rushed in the
laundry to see what the trouble was.
The hatchet had been used, and the
Chlnaman claimed that shis money
drawer had been robbed. Both men
were arrested and tried in the police
court to-day on charges of assault.
Judge Miller was unable to learn
from the evidence who dealt the first
blow or who was responsible. So far
as he could ascertain it was a. fair
fight, and both the Chinaman and the
colored man were acquitted.

AN ESSAY ON "STOVEPlPEs.
Form OF Head Covering With Neither

Form of Head Covering With Neither
Excuse Nor Explanation.
The tall, cylindrical hat is perhaps.
the most hideous, the most uncomfort-
able, the most inconvenient, the most
perishable and the most tenacious Of
all articles of headgear known to his
tory, says the London Daily News. Our
male ancestors wore odd and unhand-
some things; shoes whose prolonged
tips were attached to the knees, ruffs
about four feet in diameter, tights of
incredible tightness and so forth. but
these foolish fashions never lasted long.
Men wearied of them. But the tall hat
sits as tight and eternally as Theseus
on the human skull. Like the corset
on woman, and far less excusably, it
seems to be permanent institution.
True, We are more emancipated than
our sires, who played golf and even
cricket in orthodox hats. Advanced:
thinkers wear Devastating caps, round
cloth caps, socialist or bible reader
f1at-shaped soft black felt things, and
the Tyrolean or Monte Carlo hat, which
a lady described as more brigand than
socialist. In the country tall hats are
little worn now, except by elderly ply
sicians and solicitors. Thus, there are;
seeming tokens of the decline of the
tall hat, but it holds it's own firmly in
London and Paris. An eminent states
man wears his mostly in his hand, to
cool his intellectual brow; still, he
wears it. Few persons who do not pos
itively pose as "enemies of society," or
friends of the people, Germs curl
ously interchangeable have the cour-
age to wear other headgear in town,
even at Lords. Yet no mortal has a
good word for the tall hat, except doc
tors who carry stethoscopes in theirs.

Household Hints

To keep the air Of the cellar pure,
have it we'll whitewashed twice year
with plain whiteWash made of lime
and water only. Stand a peck Of lime
in each end of the cellar, and the dry
ness of the cellar will be greatly pro-
noted thereby.
Nothing saves so many steps in
household. service as the useful but
lers' tray Instead of making endless
trips between kitchen and dining room,
one 'nay pile the unused dishes and sill
yer in the roouy receptacle, and all
may be carried at once to the kitchen.
To remove grease spots from the col
lar of coat, take one pint Of boiling
water, one ounce Of pulverized borax,
one teaspoonful of ann onia, half an
ounce Of camphor (gum.) Mix togeth-
er, shake we'll and bottle. This will
keep the coat collar fresh and neat.
For cleaning dust from papered
walls, make four bags of cheap canton
flannel to fit over the brush or window
broom, and after sweeping a room
wipe off the walls with it, changing
the bag whenever it is soiled. The
long handle of the window broom rem
ders it very easy to reach the cracks
and corners.

Ripening Hogs.

The ripening period should be before
and after the hot season. Avoid, if
possible, excessive cold, for, as the
writer says, too much feed needs to be
consumed to maintain the normal tenn
perature, while during the heated peri
cd not sufficient food will be consumed
to materially increase the size of the
carcass. The nearer we can come tc
securing an average daily increase,
the more successful our effort. In this
earlier fattening process we must not
lose sight Of the fact that we realize
much sooner on the capital invested,
and a reinvestment may be made @at
once. The cheapest meat is made
from the young animal, much less
food being consumed in supplying the
wastes Of the system. The earlier the
marketable product is reached proper
tionately lessons the loss by disease.

Insects Injurious to Corn.


An abstract Of the seventh annual re.
port Of Prof. Forbes, state entomolo~
gistsof Illinois, has just been published
as Bulletin No. a Of the Illinois Ex-
pertinent station under the title. "In'
sects Injurious to the Seed and Root
Of Indian Corn The number Of in
sects recognized as in some way and

BEECHNUTS.
Nature Seems to Have Devised Them
for Animals of the Forest

Nature Seems to Have Devised Them
for Animals Of the Forest
Only the Woods:pan knows how
much depends upon the ripening of the
beechnuts on the ridges of the forests.
Various phases of the weather, the IN
usual reproductiveness Of some in
sects, a plant blight and dozens of 9th
er things affect the crop. Curio1lsly
enough, the trees themselves have
moods of productiveness, and woods
is deartll of beechnuts. They do not
hang in great masses from every limb
tAen. nor do their frost-opened husks
allow the nuts to fall with clatter
upon the dry leaves below. Instead,
here and there is a nut, and here and
there is a squirrel looking for a store
of food and not getting all he wants,
This seems to be year OF plenty
for the squirrels and chipmunks, the
deer. the bear and the other beasts
that depend, directly or indirectly. on
the beechnuts for hearty meals. The
mice and chipmunks swarm in pl, nti-
full years, and the foxes appear, seek
ing for the mice. The deer roams less,
and are more easily tracked down by
the still hunter when the nuts are
plenty. Partridges and blueiays, wood
peckers and rabbits. alike thrive on tho
nuts directly, while the fox and the
wildcat, the weasel and the marten,
the dog and the hawk, the owl, and
even the shrike, find that the prey on
which they feed is more easily taken.
and consequently they wax fat and
torpid.
Odd as it may seem, the fish, too,
come in for generous feeding. Insects
bore into the drying nuts and in them
deposit eggs, that mature when the
spring rains melt the snow Many Of
these nuts get into the streams during
the high water, and the larvae float
along, to the delectation of the big and
little fish, for such morsels are sweet.
With plenty Of food, the fish grow with
rapidity. The fisher folk, men and her.
ons, have greater success. Another
thing about the larvae in the nuts is
that when they are not washed away
in the floods they take to their wings
and fly, and then the swallows, the
crested fycatchers, the toads and other
insect-eaters have plenty Of them.
All winter long, during the first
tracking snow, and later, in the log
ging days, the deer benefit, for they
dig down in the ground after the I'M
DERIVING nuts, keeping their sides fat
tened during the fall, as sleek as ever.
The young deer find in the nuts nour-
ishment fit to carry them through the
worst of the winter days.
There always are a number of nuts
that do not fall to the ground when
the leaves do, but remain among the
sharply defined branches for many
weeks, if not picked by some bird or
mammal. These nuts are the source
Of many a fight between the bluejays
and the squirrels, or between wood
peckers and whatever birds and NAM
mails eat the dangling fruit. Some i'm
provident squirrel has failed to lay up
sufficient store, and he must needs
replenish it from among the trees. He
goes to feeding, when the bluejays sal
ly at him from the spruce tree on
which they are cleaning their bills or
Fostering an owl. The squirrel is soon
put to wild flight, well bruised by thu
daShing birds
