has been retarded to some extent
by rains of the latter part of the

dition of the cotton crop was is
sued today by the stati~tician Of
the department of agriculture:
The monthly report of the sta

culture shows the average condi-
ton of cotton on Sept 25 to have

While the condition in Geor

above the ten year averages of
those States, the reports from
every other cotton growing State
and territory compare unfavorably
with the average October condi-
tions for any considerable series
of years. The extent to which
the various States fall below their

called to allow Raynor to consult

THE GLASS OF FASHION.

Point d'arabe laces in the ecru shades are very popular for dress trim mings.
 Small buckles used as slides on silk bands and velvet ribbon are one fea- ture of dress decoration.
 The foundation skirts of the new thin gowns get the fluffy effect around the feet from a two inch pinked ruche set on the edge of the plaited ruffle.
 Travelling dust coats of black taffeta have a place in the fashionable sum- mer outfit. The prettiest are tucked nearly all over, but the tucks add weight and warmth, neither of which is desirable.
 The flare in some of the tailor skirts is produced by opening the seams on either side of the front and at the sides and inserting plating of the material. In dressy thin gowns this fullness is sometimes of lace.
 The Louis XIV coats are to be one of the features of dress this spring, and they are made of plain taffeta as well as brocaded silks, fall fully 14 inches below the waist line, and the revers and broad collar are of laca-

STORMS ON LAKE BAlkAL.

Passengers on the Siberian Railroad
 HaFe unpleasa nt Experfczsces.
 The part of the Siberian railroad that will skirt the southern shores of Lake Baikal has not yet been built. It in wolves difficult engineering, and the railroad authorities decided for few years to use ice breaking steamers, tie barges to them loaded with passengers and freight cars and thus ferry trains across the lake. But now they have come to the conclusion to build the line around the foot of the lake as soon as they can, for they are having no end of troSble with stormy and foggy Baikal. The lake is 65 miles wide, and it is no joke for the passengers to be penned in their cars on the barges for 20 to 40 hours at a time, as has happened now and then within the past year. On these occasions a storm on the lake or heavy fog has made it impossible to reach port on the farther side.
 Any one knowing the conditions of travel on this lake might expect such accidents. There is no good port, and one cannot be made without spending a fortune. Awhile ago sailing vessels were the only means of transport, and they sometimes took over fortnight in crossing the lake, beating up and down and waiting for a chance to get to the landing while storms were raging for days and days.
 Millions of Russians seem to have an erroneous idea of Baikal. It Is the lar gest fresh water lake in Asia, but the Russians do not hesitate to call 1t the largest in the world. In fact, the lake is thus ranked in some of the geogra- phies used in Russian schools. The compilers of these textbooks would seem never to have heard of our great lakes and those of central Africa.

American Iron Easy to Work.

The deposits of iron ore in the east ern states, which have been utilized from prerevolutionary times, gave the country no special opportunity of con- peting with other nations, but the opening of the splendid ore beds in upper Michigan gave American iron and steel industries a wonderful st1m- ulus. Finally still richer stores were discovered up in Minnesota on the north side of Lake Superior. These lie on the surface of the ground and can be mined with a steam shovel Something like nine-tenths of the iron produced in the United States just now comes from Lake Superior and nearly half of it from the Vermilion and Mesaba ranges. England's mines are slowly becoming exhausted, and her iron is so deep in the earth that the operation of mining it is much more costly than that of getting out the Minnesota ore. Moreover, she is oblig- ed to import ore from Spain and else where to meet her requiremeRts--New York Tribune.
