WAGoNS F0R THE ENGLJSH.

1t appears that this country is not
only supplying England with mules
and drivers thereof but is also making
wagons for the mules to draw, Eng
fish officers who We're with the United
States army during the war in Cuba
saw army wagons which they liked,
and as the factories in England couldn t
turn out similar wagons fast enough
big order for them was placed in
this country The wagons for the Brit
ish army are quite like the big white
hooded vehicles of each regimental
quartermaster's outfit in the army
camps of the South in 1898, only that
they are much larger and built es-
pecially for the South African country.
They are constructed under specifica-
tons written by English army officers
When completed and ready for use they
weigh one ton each, with carrying
capacity of three tons They are about
twelve feet in length, their box three
and one-half feet wide and the tires of
the wheels about three inches wide 1t
will require from eight to twelve mules
to draw each wagon
Nobody interested in the prosperity of
this country win find fault with this
kind of AngloSaxon alliance.

4 oHnERTNG REnORD.

The record Of business failures for
| the year just closing is an uncommonly
cheering one. r. G. Dun & Co. say
that the failures thus far reported are
fewer in number than in any year since
1888 and smaller in amount of CONNER
cial liabilities than in any year since
1881. The aggregate of defaulted liabil-
titles is $12016O, 900, but nearly two-thirds
of the banking liabilities were added
within few days, the aggregate reach
ing about $50, 100000. The commercial
liabilities have been about $685. 260 000
though exact returns for few recent
failures are not yet obtainabe In no
other years, except 1881 with defaulted
liabilities of $S1, 155,932 and 1880 with
S65, 752,000 have failures been as small
since the Dun agency commenced quar-
terly returns in 1875. The average of
liabilities per failure is less than 50, 500,
the smallest in any year OF the twenty
five, a gratifying evidence that COM
mercial liabilities are further removed
than usual from the point of danger.

Londoners will, before long, be able
to battle in sea water without going out
of their own houses. There is an en-
| terprise afoot for the construction Of
works which will supply the metropolis
with between 100000 and 900 gal
| Ions of sea water daily. The particular
point selected for the intake is at Lane
ing between Brighton and Worthing
one of the cleanest spots around the
coast Here the main will run a con-
siderable distance out to sea, and near
the pumping station at Lancing will
be a reservoir which will act as a set
Ting tank, so that the salt water will
be free from sand and seaweed. From
this point the water will be pumped to
huge reservoir on Steyning hill,
Lancing to a height of over 500 feet.
No further pumping will be required,
for the water will then flow by gravi-
tation. There will be a storage reser-
voir at EPSON, 240 feet above the sea
level, so that, flowing from there to
London, there will be sufficient press
ure to carry the water to the top stories
of the highest buildings
Many English towns already make
use of sea water for street watering,
as well as for baths. 1t is claimed that
once watering the streets with sea
water is equal in efficiency to twice
or even thrice watering with fresh
water 1t keeps the road surface moist
for a long time, but without slush, and
it hardens and binds macadam roads
and forms preservative crust which
prevents dust from rising. That's just
what New Haven needs.

INSTINCTS OF ANIMALS.
Some Facts of Natural History Discov-
cred by Close Observers.


Here lis a curious and little known
fact regarding litter bearing animals
dogs, wolves, the whole cat family, hogs,
rabbits, and so on-each of their young
appropriates to itself one particular
teat-and never by any chance sucks an
other. At first all the teats are tumid
and full of milk Within a week those
which do not suckle become dry and
small Thus glance at the mother
shows the number of her young. The
effect is often very curious BY this
process of natural selection the big
milk giving teats frequently alternate
regularly with the dry ones.
The wise men say this is one OF ma
lures special provision against injus-
tice. Without it, among gregarious
animals, the strongest litter would plum
der, trample and starve the weaker
ones. OF course, in the same family the
pig or puppy or kitten gets the biggest
share of the provislon-but that is an
other thing from going outside.
Very young lambs are as likes as two
peas in pod to everything except the
noses of their mothers A hundred
ewes at pasture, with lambs of the same
size will make no mistake about their
children-that is, if the children have
once been accepted as their own.
Sometimes it happens that for no visible
reason a eve rejects her lamb, and can
not be induced to own it. If she has

agreed to it in writing. Then Bill went
1t too strong, and got the sheriff after
him for shooting a man without provo
cation and the sheriff had been an old
beau Of mine, and Bill didn't like the
looks Of things, and what did he do
when he was close pushed but shoot
himself"
"Oh!" exclaimed the lawyer, startled
by the suddenness of the tale
And he done it just to spite me-"
whmpered the widow, for with that
signed agreement of mine along with
the will what was I to do? That's
what I've come to see you about. I
can't very well marry the man that
killed Bill, and if L marry anybody else
I'm going to lose ten thousand dollars.
At least, that's the way it looks on pa
per, I'm tired Of being a widow, but
I'm not ten thousand dollars worth

on the situation"

Positively the walking tailor skirt
clears the ground. 1t Is the worst taste
to wear on the street a skirt that must
be held up. The trailing skirt requires
a carriage; street cars are no excuse.
In the house all skirts trail. Pastel
cloth is the choice for house gowns, and
skirt of delicate lilac green or rose
may be worn with any fancy waist. 1t
is a fad to combine several colors; for
instance, a skirt of delicate lilac is worn
with a fancy waist of rose chiffon and
pale green cloth. Whatever the bodice,
the house skirt is full dress length,
That means it trails just as far as you
are able to carry with grace.
Cloth and silk are combined with fine
disregard for economy; as when the
cloth is laid over the silk stitched in
bands and then cut away so that the
entire dress shows alternating silk and
cloth. Sometimes the bands are shaped
into curves and waves As a rule, the
silk is a little lighter in shade than the
cloth Now and then very artistic eff
fects are produced by using with plain
cloth a changeable silk, An example
was rose color pastel cloth over rose
and green changeable silk. A yoke of
delicate green panne velvet showing
tiny inside collar of pale blue complet-
ed the design. FLORETTE.
