A FORECAST OF COMING STYLES

Novelty Goods VIII Vanish and Drap d'Ete
VIII BE Popular-Linen Crash and Con-
vas For Summer.
From that mysterious place on the 9th
or side" where all our new fashions come
from comes the first news of what is to be
next spring and summer Nothing but let
ters and tiny scraps of goods are to be
seen, and these only by way of a very par
ticular favor BY those samples and letters
l learn hat all the novelty goods will van
ish from the face of the earth and we shall
have drap d etc, which is indeed a most
beautiful fabric. 1t is as thick as broad
cloth with a decided twill, but this twill
gives it a soft, satinlike appearance. Braid
ing and embroidery show up richly on its
surface, and many regular patterns are
provided with the embroidery worked in
such a way as to furnish trimming for the
skirt, waist and slsves. This material
has been with us many years, it is true,
but 1t has new surface now, which makes
1t practically new stuff Bruadcloth is
another of the spring fabrics. This is pro-
duced in every conceivable color, even in
Guiding cream white Black there always
is. Prune and all the wine colors, amber
and tan, browns of every shade and all
the murky greens and the delicate grays
and quaker drabs are seen in the book of
samples
The quality of this broadcloth is unusu-
ally heavy and firm, but it will make up
beautifully, and it will take any rich trim
ming and will also look elegant when
strictly severe in tailor style 1t will be
quite expensive but it is 90 inches wide.
Cashmere is another old time favorite re-
divivus in the spring fabrics. This is
shown in two weayes-one recalling the
cashmere sublime silks and the other with
a mesh as loose and soft as the common
old style English cashmere They used to
say you could sift peas through that. The
wool In this cashmere, however is the
finest and softest The weave is so even
and clean and the whole SUI face has such
a soft bloom that one falls in love with it
right away. This comes in as many colors
as the broadcloth and quite as pretty ones
Reps will also be a favorite spring fab

Bismarck Paid.

In the ducby Of Lauenburg, from which
Bismarck takes his title, it is a custom
during the harvest time, when a person
passes through a field where the corn is
being cut, for the reapers to stop, bind a
lew ears of corn on the visitors arm and
demand money for his ransom. This hap
pened to Prince Bismarck and his son, and
rs the old statesman has great reverence
for old customs, he cheerfully paid the
ransom for both.

Abortion (Slinking) in Cows.

Prof Henry E. Alvord. one of the
best known agriculturists in
America. when director of the
Maryland Agricultural Expert
ment Station, in letter tells how
he treated this disease.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, p. o., MD,
Dec. 26 1890.
Dear SirS The following statement of
facts is sent you for what it is worth.
There was certainly an epidemic Of abor-
ton in the herd OF dairy cows here I'M
der my charge. We used your Kow-
kure, and we have apparently got rid of
the abortion. My previous experience
with this trouble has been such that |
cont feel able to say the powders stop
ped it, but the facts here strongly favor
that assumption.
During the years 1883 and 1889 there
were ten abortions here on the Agricul-
tural College farm, and but three calves
we're dropped on time and lived.
In January, 1890, at the suggestion of
Mr.. y. |. Hayward, we obtained some of
your kow-kure, and began using it as
"A preventive IF abortion. During this
year we have had eight live calves, and
good ones. and but one case of abortion.
This one case was late in the season.
and a hefer this animal had refused to
eat her grain when the powders were
mixed in it, and thinking the disease had
disappeared, we made no special effort
to get her to take the medicine. We
have pure bred Ayrshire that abOrted
(tirst calf in 1855 and again in 1889;
she is now carrying her calf well and is
within few days of the right period Of
calving. Very respectfully yours,
HENRY + ALVORD.
Seven years of careful trial have prov
en- this article TO be a success. Thous-
ands of dairymen pronounce it the best
cow medicine made. 1t goes to the seat
of the trouble. the blood, as well as act
ing directly on the womb.
kow-kure is medicine and not food,
and for cows only. 1t was formerly
called Jersey Tonic Powder
It cures abortion, barrenness and re-
tanned after-birth. 1t makes rich blood
and increases the flow of milk. Send
two cent stamp for our little book, The
Cow"
Kow-kure comes in three-pound cans
and sells for Sl.00 per can. There is
enough medicine IN one can to treat one
COW from five to eight weeks. One can
is often worth $500 to a dairyman. If
your merchant does not keep it send to

Believe and BE Saved,

"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. and
thou shalt be saved is the only. and it Is a
sufficient answer to every anxious sinner
seeking refuge from the storm. You mus,
seek for comfort in Christ, or you will seek
In vain. But apply to Him. and you canno,
fail. Say as Peter did when he began to
sink, "Save, Lord, or perish" and He will
put forth his hand at once. 1t is already
held out to you. Lay hold OF 1t by faith. and
salvation is yours. 'Behold the
Lamb of God, which taketh away
the sin of the world. Look unto me,
and be ye saved" You are invited to re-
gard Him not as the Creator, but the Sa-
viour, not AS the Judge. but the Advocate
not as the Ruler, but the Mediator. When
conscience accuses, hear Him say, 1T Is |;
who have fully atoned for thy sins; | who
have blotted them all out by my blood "
When the thought OF God alarms, listen to His
voice, 1T is |; | who have made peace by the
blood of the cross; |. by whom the Just God
becomes the justiiler of the ungodly."
When the painful conviction of shortcom-
ngs. after all our striving, overwhelms,
again he says. 1T is |; l whose white robe
Will cover all thy filthy rags, |, from whose
perfect obedience, and not from thy own
unworthiness thou art to look for acceptance
with God" When sense Of weakness and
inability to cope with the many difficulties
and dangers which surround us, depresses
the mind, again His voice Is heard, 1T Is |:
who have engaged to perform things for
thee; who will never leave thee nor for
sake thee"

In these days Of hurry and hustle we find
ourselves face to face with n terrible dan
ger; and 1t is this-no time to be alone with
God. The world, in these last days, is run
ming fast; we live in what IL called 'the age
of progress, and you know we must keep
pace with the times" SO the world saws.
But this spirit OF the world has not con-
fined itself to the world. 1t is, alas, to be
found among the saints of God. And
what is the RESULT The result is-no time
to be alone with God, and this il i'm
mediately followed 10y no inclination to be
alone with God. g.. This desert lifc," as
some may call 1t. Is Of an importance that
cannd be overvalued. Let us turn to the
pages of Gods Book. On scanning its
precious pages we find that the men Of
God-God's mighty men-were those
who had been in "the school OF God" as
1t has well been called; and His school was
simply this-"In the desert alone with
Himself 1t was there they got their
teaching. Far removed from the din and
hustle OF the haunts of men distant alike
from human eye and ear there they met
alone with God there they were equipped
for tho battle. And when the time came
that they stood forth in public service for
God. their faces were not ashamed--nay
they had faces as lions they were bold and
fearless. yea, and victorious for God for
the battle had been won already In the
desert alone with Him. Christian.

CONGRESSIONAL.

July co. At l2.l5 this morning the
house of representatives passed the
report OF the conference committee on
the tariff bill by q vote OF 1S5 TO lis.
The bill now goes to the senate for con-
currence and will become law as soon
as II Is signed by the President. Every
republican present voted for the re-
port. The democrats. with five excep-
tions. voted against the report. The
exceptions were Slayden, of Texas;
Broussard. of Louisiana: Meyer. Of
louisiana: Davey, Of Louisiana: Kle-
berg. of Texas. The populists and sill
verites did not vote solidly. Mr.. Sha-
forth. of Colorado, and Newlands, of
Nevada, silverites, abstained from vot-
ing. Mr.. Hartman .siiverite, Montana,
did not vote. The populists who voted
against the report were as follows: Ba-
ker. Barlow. Botkin. Fowler. Jett,
Lewis. Marshall. Martin. Peters, Simp-
son, Strowd and Vincent. Four did not
vote-Howard. Kelly, Stark and South
that $50 republicans and five democrats
erland. The other populists We're alb
sent. An analysis of the vote shows
voted for the report, and log democrats
and IL populists against 1t.
After some routine business the sem
ate resumed consideration of the tar
iff conference report.
rive paragraphs, from amendment
562 to amendment 5SS. were disposed Of
without question, but at that point Mr..
Jones. of Arkansas, said he had not
been able to keep track of the matter,
and the reading was begun over again.
so that explanations might be given.
July 22. Senator Jones of Nevada,
chairman of the committee on conting-
ent expenses. submitted the report of
that committee on the resolution intro
duced by Senator Tillman for an in
vestigation of the charges of speculat-
ing in Sugar stocks, etc. The report
takes a strong position against order
ing the investigation and is a very ey-
haustive review of the procedure of the
senate in the past in such matters.
The report takes the position that,
aside from the names of the newspaper
men themselves, only the name Of
Senator Smith of New Jersey is men,
toned in the newspapers making the
charges on which the resolution was
based. The position is taken that the
newspaper men do not count. 'inas-
muchas these gentlemen do not profess
to write from knowledge and usually,
II not always, decline to disclose the
sources of their information"
Representative w. G. Stone of Penn
sylvania, who was chairman of the
committee on coinage, weights and
measures of the last house, introduced
in the house bill to authorize the
appointment of n monetary commits
sion and to provide for its expenses.

Troubles Caused by Tea.

The startling announcement Is made
that there is hardly a morbid symptom
which may not be traceable to tea as
its cause The irritability that over
takes women so frequently may some-
times be clearly traced to an excessive
indulgence in afternoon tea. Taken in
strict moderation. and with due pre-
cautions in the mode of preparation, tea
Is, like alcohol, a valuable stimulant.
Perversion of the sense Of hearing Is
not at all an uncommon symptom-pa-
tients hearing voices that have no real
or objective existence.
