Window Seat Dangers

The popularity of the window seat
on suburban trains is likely to wane
if the experience of an occupant OF
one Tuesday afternoon becomes COM
mon. The Lackawanna Company is
elevating it's tracks between Rose
Vile and the Broad street station in
Newark, and for that purpose is con-
structing additional tracks. The
distance between some of the tracks,
particularly on curves, is somewhat
limited and escapes from accidents
as a result thereof are not uncommon
but it is seldom that such an illustra-
tion of the danger thereof is wit
messed as was seen on Tuesday. The
4. 10 train from New York for South
Orange was just entering Roseville,
says the Commercial Advertiser, when
the passengers ON the last car heard
a tremendous crashing of glass,
When the train was stopped it was
found that a beam projecting from
part of the new construction on the
new track had crashed through O
window of the car, smashing it tc
atoms and covering the passenger
occupying the seat next the window,
as we'll as some of the passengers
across the aisle, with glass, injurinp
some of them slightly. The passenger
occupying the window seat was
Ernst Wenzl, of 1T Roseville avenue,
Newark, and the beam just missed
taking his head off. He was pretty
badly frightened, but was otherwise
unhurt. The glass, however, with
which he was covered, made him
look as if he had been in Mount
Pelee dust storm. AS soon as he had
recovered from the shock sufficiently
to tell the conductor that he was not
injured, the train proceeded.

How to Pack a Trunk.

The modern watchword of ICON
venlence'' has made great innovation
in the construction and arrangements
of trunks. One of the newest will
be dear to the heart of every woman.
being labeled ga skirt trunk. :" 1t is
forty -four inches long, thus admitting
skirt to be stretched out at its full
length. The inside is provided with
series of trays. about five or six IN
number, and of the average depth of
four inches.
Into these the skirts are packed
lightweight ones can be put in sepa-
rately, but particularly fluffy, or
beruffied affairs being assigned an
entire tray to itself, and thus rem
dered perfectly safe from creases.
One or two Of these upper long trays
can be used to pack waists in, and
the top section is about seven inches
deep, and divided into several parti-
tions, including hat box and recepta-
Giles for ribbons, collars, underclothing
and all small articles.
The attempts to carry more than
one hat in a general trunk have been
abandoned by the woman of expert
ence, and a separate hat trunk is
considered a necessity if three or
more dainty hats are required.
These hat trunks in their latest
form are about the size of big hat
box, in which the milliner sends q
hat home.
The skirts should be placed in
with the bottom of one at the left
end of the trunk. and the bottom OF
the next at the right end, and so on,
alternating until all are packed, as
this gives an even distribution of the
bulk and preserves the plan of fiat
surfaces and paralleled layers. If the
skirt has long train, the excess
should be folded back, from the point
at which it becomes longer than the
front and sides.
When the skirts are all thus dis
posed of Except the very lightest
weight ones having ruffies or
f1ounces, which should be reserved
for the top of the section, the under
clothing can be put in, pettiooats at
full length, smaller garments in the
natural folds in which they come
from the laundry. These can be SO
disposed over the surface as to pre-
serve the fatness of the mess.
When the body of the trunk is thus
packed says the Washington Star,
the tray of waists is next to
be considered. Anything finer than
a laundered shirt waist should have
the sleeves stuffed with tissue paper,
and the neck treated in the same way
when the waist has a collar on
Many waists can be packed in the
samle compartment with perfect safe
ty if this plan is pursued.
The top section of the trunk,
divided into compartments, can be
used to hold the numerous small ac-
cessories of the wardrobe. 1t is we'll
to leave shoe trees in the heavier
walking shoes, but paper stuffed into
the toes of the slippers will keep
them in shape.
If your trunk contains a hat box
remember that it is only intended for
hat, and do not defeat its purpose
by putting other things into the ap-
parently surplus corners.

The road bed of the Lackawanna

eighty pound rails permit the run
ming of fast express trains with the
utmost safety and comfort.

CROP CONDITIONS.
Owing to the Drought the Yield Of
Corn Will BE Short.
spee.sl 70 lie Daily Progress.


Special 10 tie Daily Progress.
Jackson, July Crop conditions
in Mississippi have suffered great
damage during the past week on
account of the drought, and the point
has been reached where rain would
be of little or no benefit to the early
corn crop. which means that the
yield will be from 40 to 90 per cent
short this year. The late corn plant
ing is also showing the effects of the
protracted dry spell and hot weather.
and it will require series of heavy
rainfalIs to save it from utter de-
struction,
The outlook is even more serious
than at this season last year when
the drought cut down the corn crop
over fifty per cent. Lack of moisture
and hot winds are also having a tell
ing effect on the cotton acreage, and
in many communities the plant locks
sickly and stunted. To add to the
generally discouraging prospects, the
Mexican boil weeyil has appeared in
Holmes county, and threatens to
spread to other parts of the delta.
The weevil is small black bug,
scarcely larger than flea, aud null
tiplies with marvellous rapidity. The
only remedy for its rayages is soak
ing rain, and if it spreads with the
same rapidity as it does in Texas
the entire cotton crop in that section
will be destroyed in four or five
weeks. The weeeil strips off the
leaves and squares, and the bare
stalk is all that is left standing.
During the past week rain has
fallen in but few counties in any part
of the state, and in no section has
the precipitation been sufficiently
heavy to be of lasting advantage
Farmers are feeling very much dis
heartened over the prospects, which
three or four weeks ago, were about
all that could be desired.
