In the Autumn.

There is something in the autumn sets my
gypsy blood astir,
When the partridge and the plover' 8
sprightly wings are all awhir;
With the purple ana the scarlet and the
yellow Of the leaves.
While the fertile fields are freighted with
the pumpkins and the sheayes.
when, within the witching woodlands.
turtle doves are sadly calling,
And the leaves OF red and russell from the
trees are sadly falling,
Touched with fervent farewell kisses by
the autumns am'rous mouth
And the swallows have departed to the
summer Of the soulful
When the grass has left the meadow and
the green has left the hill,
And the only feathered songster is the
plaintive whIppoorwill;
When the apples In the orchard and the
sumac's leaves are red,
And the quaIls are loudly piping in the
stubble where they fedl
oh, the brilliant autumn season, the most
brilliant Of the year,
When the gorgeous groves are cleaning
ere the leaves begin to scar;
When the maple boughs are crimson and
the hick'ry's leaves are gold,
And the days are sultry summer and the
nights are wintry cold.
When the river is blue as steel and the
sky Is clear as glass.
And the mist is on the mountain and the
hoarfrost on the grass;
When the harvest Is all garnered and the
farmers work is done,
And the hlllsides are resounding with the
pointer and the gunl

This Antrim, N. H., liquor episode is
attracting unusual attention. The town
Of Antrim Is no.Iicense while its neigh
Dor. Hillsboro, permits the sale Of liquor
IN their extremity, some Of the citizens Of
the former town cross The line into Hills
boro to assuage their thirst. To stop this
the grand juror Of Antrim, Ex-Governor
Goodell, has hit upon a scheme. The IL
cense law Of that state says that no liquor
shall be sold to any person wherenotice In
writing has been given forbidding sale to
such person from the parent, guardian,
husband or wife Of such person, or by any
magistrate OF overseer OF the poor Of a
town OF city, AS a grand juror ex-Gov-
ernor Goodell has had black list made
up embracing all the names Of the citizens,
himself and his sons included, and notice
has been served on the Hillsboro liquor
dispenser that he must not sell to Antrim
people. The people Of Antrim are mad
and It seems that they have good reason tC
be mad,
In his zeal for the cause Of temperance
the ex-governor has oyer-stepped the
bounds Il the intent Of the law. Had the
blacklist contained only the names Of those
individuals who are professed drunkards
or drinkers there would not be an occasion
for howl But the list does not stop
there. It includes every male d q years,
be they drinkers, teetotalers or only at times
partakers OF liquor. Naturally, then, this
blacklist contains the names Of a large
number OF men who, ii 10 way. have Civ

have never been guilty Of INVESTIGATION and

Expensive Bulbs.

Five hundred dollars was often
paid in Holland during the famous
tulip craze for a bulb of the Admiral
Liefkens or of the Gouda variety,
81, 200 to $1,000 for a Viceroy, and
$4,000 for a Semper Augustus. In
1884 the craze became so great that
all usual industries We're abandoned.
A choice bulb sold for 1 1000 in cash,
two horses, a carriage and a set of
harness, representing in all $4,000.
Persons frequently invested $4,000
in a few dozen bulbs with which to
begin business, mortgaging their
houses or giving personal property
in exchange. These extraordinary
values checked the cultivation Of
tulips, as the bulbs could be bought
and at once sold at a profit to
spectators. Finally the real tulip
lovers became Disguised, and in Feb
ruary, 1887, suddenly placed large
quantities of the most valuable vari-
cites upon the market. This pro-
duced an immediate and disastrous
decline in the price of bulbs. With
out a days warning, thousands found
themselves ruined. 1t was several
years before Holland overcame the
effects of this strange mania.--Chi-

Earthquake Butted In and
Spoiled the Game.

"Don't you think it's time for a

with the railroad spike-shaped cigar,
as he pulled his chair near the Cadil-
lac window.

you see, things had been going
against me in the mines, and l was just
thinking of holding up a stage or
something nice and Christian-like, or
Morganizing a bank, when IN old pard

was in the southern section of Cali

A DOCTORS POINT OF VIEW.
Physician Says the Carpet Is the Most
U~nsanitary Thing in the
Modern Home.

"When the American housewife be-
comes thoroughly educated in domes-
tic sanitation she will never have a
carpet in her home" remarked a De-
troit doctor, who has made a deep
study of the germ theory, according to
the Free Press.
why? Simply because it is the
most unsanitary thing in the house.
No matter how careful the inmates
may be in the matter of cleaning their
shoes before entering the house-un-
less they were to adopt the oriental
practice of taking them off and leav-
ing them outSide-they are bound to
carry in some dirt from the street.
This dirt settles in the carpets, and
when sweeping day comes it is stirred
up and the air Of the room becomes
filled with it. II may not always be
impure, but as nearly all of it comes
from the street the chances are thatit

passes through the room during the
sweeping process, inhales it whatever
dangers may lurk in it pass into the
lungs and perform their work Of mis-

that may easily be lifted up and

be cleaned frequently, too, and al

IN FASHIONS REALM.
Wants to lie Correct and Up-to-
Date in Appearance.

Tabs and tails are the correct adorn-
ments for fur muffs this year, stuffed
heads having been discarded by Dame
Fashion.
Ribbons for trimming the modish
beaver hats have a silk beaver finish
and come in plain colorings and the
most effective combinations.
Heavy lace, suggesting repousse
work in a pastel apricot tint known as
champagne, is used with artistic re-
suits OIL some modish gowns, combin-
ing especially well with pale pink, ann
Der or pale blue.
Drapery net for mourning millinery
resembles point d'esprit sprinkied with
tiny dull jet beads, reports the Brook
Ign Eagle
The moonstone is in evidence as the
setting for some of the newest sleeve
links and fancy buttons.
The strapping fad has extended to
silk petticoats, narrow bands of silk
embellishing the finely tucked f~lounces.
Broadtail and gray fox is an eff
fective combination in the coat line.
Some beautiful low bodices are
trimmed with triple folds of the ma
terial, with a large Renaissance jewel
as a central ornament.
Evening gowns of tulle or satin in
light champagne color are relieved by
a touch of light green.
Chinchilla is used for trimming
smart costumes of velvet in dark vio-
let, gray and brown.
Chrysanthemums with q fringe of
unopened buds, bright red Virginia
creeper, Parma violets with a fringe of
stalks and roses flecked with brilliants
and combined with tiny rosebud trails,
are a few of the lovely effects in floral
garniture for gowns of black net or
crepe brought out this season.
AS embroidery for evening shoes tur-
quoise is blended with gold on black
and white, and emeralds mingle with
fine gold stitchery. Rhinestones, fine
ly cut jet and ste i spangles are util-
.zed for the adornment of black satin
and kid shoes, and an extreme fancy is
butterfly embroidery decorating the
toes of some beautiful SHES.
According to an authority the first
decollete gown of which mention was
made in the history of costume was
worn by Queen Isabeau of Baviere. The
fashion was at its height in the time
of the Valois kings and iourished DUR
ing the reigns of Louis XIV. and his suc-
cessors.
Embroidered hop sack is one of the
new fabrics utilized for smart gowns.

EARTH is SMALL.
Only a Mustard Seed in Size Compared
with Other Bodies CircIing
Around in Space.

Sir Robert Stawall Ball has writ
ten a book called "The Earth's Begin
ming" which sets forth many facts
familiar to astronomers, but not, says
the New York Herald, to the generali-
ty of people. For instance, the earth
on which we live is a mighty globe
5000 miles in diameter and "a, 200 miles
in circumference. But what is the
earth in comparison with the sun?
If we represent this big earth of ours
by a grain of mustard seed, then on
the same scale the sun should be rep
resented by a cocoanut. The moor
swings 100000 miles from the earth,
yet the sun would more than fill the
moons orbit.
If every pound of coal in the world,
a treasure which will supply the wants
of mankind for centuries to come,
could be thrown all at once into the
sun it would not generate as much
heat as the SUI gives out in the tenth
part of a second. And this stupendous
orb, the sun, is rushing through space
at the rate of SOC, 900 miles a day, car
rying the earth and the other planets
with it.
Drive a peg to represent the sun.
Then draw a circle, a yard being the
radius, and we have the track in which
the earth goes round the sun. Inside
this circle draw two smaller ones,
and you have the paths of Venus and
Mercury. Outside the path of the
earth we shall draw another circle,
with a radius of five yards; this will
be the highway along which the ma
jestic Jupiter wends his way. Inside
the path of Jupiter we shall put q cir
Gle which will represent the track of
Mars, and outside the path of Jupiter
a circle with ten yards as radius will
represent the track of Saturn. To
complete n of it's circuits of the
sun the earth will require a year,
Jupiter IL years, while Saturn will
need 30 years to accomplish its mighty
journey.
Tremendous as these distances are,
they seem as nothing when compared
with the awful reaches which sep
arate us from u neighbors beyond
the solar system. Sir Robert, %contin-
uing to illustrate with his diagram
of circles, says:
II we represented the nearest fixed
star at it's true relative distance it
could not be put down anywhere with
in the bounds of the United Kingdom
on u map. The nearest star would
have to be put far away out on the
continent of Europe, or far way out
on the Atlantic ocean, far away down
near the equator, or far away up near
the pole. And our solar system is a
mere speck in space. There are nebu-
lac, the raw material of other systems,
so much vaster than our own as to
relegate us to n~othingness.
