Peacock Fad.

OF the pre-eminently beautiful and ar
tistic bird when it became the rage for
decorations some fifteen years or so
ago. 1t IS true OF 1t this season"
Hats. gowns, cloaks. jewelry, house
hold decorations, all are being affected
in increasing degree by the peacock
fad. The blush green or greenish
blue shade, called peacock blue, is but
one Of the many colors suggested by
the peacock. Every one OF its feath-
ers. from the long ones in its gorgeous
tail to the tiny ones hidden under its
wings. supplies a color study. A daz-
zlingly brilliant costume may be
planned in its coloring, or one as
quiet as the softest shades OF buff
brown will make it.

HandlMork on Gowns.

Exquisite handiwork is being pu.
upon the gowns this winter. One love
ly reception dress had a little bolero
which looked very much like baby s
house coat. 1t was cut very short,
had wide sleeves and little turnover
collar marvelously embroidered. A
line of embroidery extended all the
way around the border OF the little
bolero, which, by the way, was made
of broadcloth and was in pale shade
of green to match the gown.
The heavier ruchings are worn with
the low collars that are now the style.
Collars are cut rather low in the
throat and all the way around there Is
set a heavy ruche which fills In the

An interesting question as to what
becomes of ships that for one reason
or another disappear from view and
registry lists is answered by Lloyd's
Register, which gives annually the re-
turn of shipping lost or condemned.
In the past year the waste OF shipping
amounted to 807 vessels of 1881
tons. excluding all under 100 tons.
which, it is interesting to note. is
about the yearly Average, though a
substantial contribution to the list is
made on account of the naval opera
tions at Port Arthur. in the course Of
which some thirty steamers were
sunk.
During the year there were 344
steamers and 463 sailing vessels lost.
Of which wrecks we're responsible for
more than half. while more than one
fourth the total number were broken
up and condemned. the remainder be-
ing distributed between loss in COLI
sion or sailing-ships abandoned at sea.

Too Thirsty to stay AIIve.

Some years ago, at the time Gen.
VIM. A. Bancroft was colonel Of the
Fifth Massachusetts the regiment was
camped at South birmingham. A pri-
vate in one of the companies, named
Taught, was one day on guard. Be-
fore going on post az II p. m. he
drank a number of glasses Of rum
punch.
While on post he fell asleep, and
was found sleeping by the relief. He
was taken to the guard house, and in
the morning was brought before Col.
Bancroft.
The colonel said in a stern voice.:
Private Taught, do you realize that
it is a very serious offence to sleep
while on post? Why, If this were in
time of war;" in his loudest tones,
you would shot for sleeping on
post"
"As I am very thirsty, sir, kindly
consider me shot"
He then faced about and started to
leave. He was brought back. severe
ly reprimanded, and returned to the
guard house. 1t was very hard for the
officers present to hide their smiles
at the look on the colonel's face.

The languages are not understood
either by the men who set the type

subject must follow copy slavishly.
AS far as possible the typewritten
words represent phonetically the
spoken words as uttered by the ma

Having thus translated their vocal
speech into print the missionaries
have taught the blacks to read their

which has helped greatly in their
mental and moral elevation. They
have not only simple dictionaries, but
also primers illustrated with excellent

For smart wear velvet is the most
modish fabric, and now that even the
less costly kinds are dressed soft they
do not mark and crease so readily and
are altogether more satisfactory in

tightly around the hips and have ex-
tensions, plated near the hem, and
these are usually accompanied by

MONEY IN ABANDONED FARMS,
Country Life In America Points Out
Important Facts.

Country Life in America Points Out
Important Facts.
The great mass of conservative opin-
ion seems to be firmly set against ad.
vising the public to buy cheap lands.
says Country Life in America. Ten
dollar-an-acre land is no good for farm
ing." the experts say. Farming re-
quires more capital than formerly, and
the day Of general farming in the East
is past A thousand dollars at least is
necessary. The best abandoned farms
have been transferred into summer
homes; the others should never have
been attempted"
In the hope that there might be
some exceptions to these pessimistic
statements, Country Life in America
began an investigation, which has
brought to light the following hopeful
facts: First Many people have sue
ceeded at general farming within the
last ten years on land costing s5 to $40
an acre. Second-General farming is
often better than special farming for
the beginner without experience-at
least for the first year. Third-There
is plenty Of suitable land in New Eng
land and the South that can be bought
for $40 an acre or less. Fourth-Much
of this land is not abandoned; it is
still worked for profit. 1t can be had
at bargain prices for three permanent
ly legitimate reasons-old age, Ill
health. the settlement Of an estate.
Fifth-People do not knew how to find
out where these cheap lands are.

BLACK EYE FOR MEMPHIS
 AS WELL AS CRESCENT CITY

Two facts of considerable significance are published today The first is that there will not be another baseball matinee in New Orleans, and the second is that a Fourth of July doubleheader will be pulled off in Little Rock
 Of the two, the latter is probably the more interesting. It is the case generally that the holiday double-headers are play cd in Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis ana New Orleans, for the simple reason that the attendance in those cities Is consid : erably in advance of that furnished by Montgomery, Nashville, Shreveport and Little Rock. This year, however, a dou- ble-header will be played in Little Rock and Memphis is given the bad eye. The change in schedule is probably due to the fact that baseball in Memphis is not as popular as formerly. Baseball in the Bldn City, in fact, has not been as popular since the inauguration of the war of last season between the management of the Memphii. and the newspaper fraternity. That there is some reason for allowing Little Rock to have the games instead of the larger Memphis, is certain. and unless it is believed that the attendance in Little Rock would be better than in Memphis,
