The Duchess, though accustomed to spend $8,000 a vear in dress, refused to pay this bill, and Worth sued her. They referred the value to official experts, who cut it down to $1,200. Paris Letter. their Stripes made of jetted gimp3 will be fashionable trimmings, some being in fine narrow lines and tjthers two or three inches wide in lozenge patterns, in blocks, in wheels or in Greek squares. French 'modistes complete autumn dresses for the street by adding a small mantle of materials of the dress, giving variety to the wardrobe where street suits usually consist of a tailor gown and jacket. New short cloaks for those wearing mourning are of dull ottoman silk with cord embroidery done on the garment, bordered with a new fiuTv trimming made of fine narrow silk braid curled very closely. Plush will be the favorite fabric for rich wraps, as it is found to be more be coming than velvet on account of its rich thick pile, and black plush is preferred to brown because the latter i3 considered an imitation of seal fur. FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Could be Bluff or Gallant, The truth probably is. says an English paper, that Dr. Samuel Johnson's manner and speech toward ladies depended very much, as is the case with most men, on the temper he was in and on the charac ter of those with whom he was in com pany. For instance, on one occasion there was a very shallow and talkative lady in the room, of whom he took little notice. 'Why, doctor," she said, "I believe you prefer the company of men to that of ladies." ,4Iadam,"he replied, "I am very fond of the company of ladies; I like their beauty, I like their delicacy, and I like their silence.-" On another occasion he went to drink tea and spend the evening at the house of gir Joshua Reynolds. Miss Reynolds, on pilfering the room, said: u "See, Dr. Johnson, what a preference I give to your company, for I had an offer of a place in a box at the oratorio to hear Miss Linley: but I had rather sit with you than hear Miss Linley sing." "Audi, madam," was his gallant re ply, "would rather sit with you than sit upon a throne." He was not to be outdone even in a passing compliment. A Puzzled Foreman. 1 i Curing Corn Fodder. J Every cne who has raised a heavy piece of fodder corn realizes that it is nc easy task to cure it so as to preserve it in fi rst-dass condition. Probably the safest method to pursue when aside from pack ing in a silo is to cut it in fair weather, when free from dew, and lay it in swaths, keeping the butts of the stalks on a line, and let it remain until thoroughly wilted, then bind in fair-sized bundles and place in shocks of four and six bundles each. It can remain in the field where grown until cured, then draw near the barn and place in large shocks, where it can re main until wanted for feeding. U mowed away in the barn it would be very likely to mould badly, and perhaps become unfit for cattle. Cultivator. OKEFEOKEE. QUAKING ISTjAXn IX GEOR GIA'S FAMOUS SWAMP.

On being told that Jake still held the fort, Mr. Seward related this reminiscence of the famous Presi dential camrjaism of 1860: "I was left in charge of the Albany Journal in 1860, while Thurlow Weed and George Dawson were absent at the Republican National Convention. The convention was to nominate my father for the Presidency. We were so sure of it that wc had the Journal editorial on the nomination in type and a large quantity of gorgeous fireworks all ready to be touched off stored in a loft above the these experiments have been reported upon by Prof. Brown, and while these may not be conclusive they are of gen eral interest. According to Prof. Brown's report, the Jersey is far ahead as a pro ducer of cream or of butter, with Ayrshire next. The Ayrshire, in the same report, stands first where the milk is to be sold or cheese made ; the Devons rank next for the cheese-maker, and the shorthorn grade comes close after. In the lists referred to, Prof. Brown calculates values on a basis of three fourths of a cent per pound for milk, five cents a pound for cream, ten cents a pound for cheese and twenty cents for butter. The shorthorn, with an average weight per head of 1.570 -pounds, a trace cf our fries J. We looked at each other with terror-stricken faces. The same thought was uppermost in the minds of all. Had Dupont been swallowed up in the rawning chasm? It locked very much like it. Again we resumed our search, but without any better suc cess than before. Then we gloomily made our way to the raft and paddled to the other shore. I suggested that Dupont had rushed off when the shock came, and, blinded by the f moke, he had perhaps fallen into tbe lake. "No, Marsc I.os," said Sara, gloomily. "He's done swallowed up ia de bowels obdeyrirth. Hit's donchappened bcfo I'se lit c red macy a time dat injurs and hunters wus lost hcah in just dat way.

A hurried search around the lake com pelled us to accept Sam's explanation. and wc took up our line of march with out a halt until wc reached the settle ments.

Well, the day the balloting was j yieiacd, by his calculation, $19 worth of Woman's Estate in Holland. j It is in Holland that one first becomes aware how thoroughly woman is a beast of burden in Europe. We met the milk women going home after their morning rounds, some of them with big shaggy dojs drawing their little cars, but many of them drawing the carts themselves, . and well broken to harness they seemed, with their dog-like, hopeless faces and their patient, steady gait. Some of the women carried fish on their heads in creels, and rattled along most skilfully in their big, shapeless sabots. But by fur the greater number of them weTe 0 fitted with yokes. There was even an aristocracy in yokes, for while many of them were of plain heavy oak, others were gorgeous vvith green velvet and brass furnishings, which latter had been scoured till they glistened in the -sun like flashing mirrors. A yoke on & woman is a sad siffht at best, but there was some- . thing absolutely painful in the graded sizes of these yokes, so -little girls of 10, 12 and even tenderer years, could .be ifitted with one upon demand. They jogged .along contentedly enough, knowing nc other life, and there was not one of them whose white cap was not a miracle of cleanliness and clear starching, and fixed to their temples with the great brass spiral pins which are almost all that is left of the distinctiveness of a Holland peasant's dress.

That was the situation -when along came a telegram bearing the new? that Mr. Lincoln had been nominated. Whether or not I was taken aback 1 need not say. However, the instinct ol the journalist was stronger than any thing else, and 1 at once fell to writing ;a leader on the choice of the convention. Before doing so I scratched off the legend: 'For President, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois,' and sent it up tc Jake Winne with directions to have it set for the head of the editorial column. had written a sentence or two of my editorial when I was signaled to come tc the tube which connected the sanctum with the composing room.

This breed averaged giving milk 170 -days in the season.' The short horn grade, which averaged in weight 1,450 pounds each, proved better,as they produced milk 220 days in the season to the value of ."0, but the cream was val- with out of the dead trees which were lying around in abundance. In a short time the raft was ready, and we paddled our selves to the island. "It shakes," exclaimed Dupont, whe was the first to land.

A KGdel Knight's Fiery Tetrtptr. We hear a great deal of Sir Philip Sidney as the model linight. The very first quality for which we bold .him in honor is his extreme gentleness. But. he could thank his own strono; mind and will for that, since he had a blazing big temper underneath it. Just listen to what he wrote, in sharp, quaint old English, to his father's secretary, whom he suspected of meddling with his cor respondence: "Molyneux, few words aie best. My letters to icy lather have come to the eyes of some. Neither can I condemn any but you for it. If it -be so, you have played the very knave with me. I assure you, before God, that if I know you do so much as read any letter I write to my father, without his com mandment, or my consent, I will thrust my dagger into you!"

He came to the conclusion that j?a.v iii iiiiivi iuv km i.a a v i. tuv y am i worth of cheese. The Devons give milk 200 days value was set at 21: the cream at 11.2.j; and they averaged siD worth of butter, or 45 worth of cheese. The Devons made an everage weight of 1,050 pounds each. The Ayrshires weighed 1,000 pounds each and gave milk 210 days, valued at i $39; the cream was worth 21, and it J maae in Diuter, wuuciuecncescirom the milk was worth 53. The Jerseys averaged a weight cf 740 pounds per he:ul and gave milk 200 days, which was valued at 10. The cream on it was valued at 57. According to some tests made in which 100 pounds of cream made 44 pounds of b,utter, the butter amounted to S3, without any al lowance for extra quality cf butter. In drawing conclusions, another point made for Jersey and Ayrshires was their light weight, taken in connection with the fact that a cow requires food very nearly in proportion to her weight. World.

The fashionable "yellow" of the year is a deep orange, but it is not to be lavishly used as it was a couple of years, or, indeed, even one year ago. Pretty jackets for misses are made of fiannel so closely woven that it is often .-called cloth. These garments are dura ble and look exceedingly well. Very low crowned bonnets have ap peared at last, but it is safe to assert that it will take fully two seasons and per haps more to make lhem general.

Protect the birrls the great amzihila tor3 of destructive insects. Pop-corn is said to be better for pigeons than any other variety cf corn. "When the axe is dull there must be put forth more strength, says & very ancient proverb. For keeping small quantities of seeds paper bags are excellent. They protect against insects and moisture. .It has been demonstrated, says a Xew York journal, that roup in fowls and diphtheria in children are identical. The value of corn-stalks for feed will be a subject of interest to farmers ia the dairy regions where drouth has pre vailed. Dr. G. C.

Great Losses of Fish. In the vicinity of Galena, 111., the fish "n many of the streams have lately died by the neillion, and the few that are left are rapidly following suit. The banks of the Galena River branches are lined with dead fish of all sizes and varieties, from the tiny jxinnow to the mammoth cat and sturgeon. At Buncombe, Wis., dead fish are so numerous on the bank3 that the eteneh arising from them is almost unbearable. At Lancaster, Wis., the scene on the river bank beggars description, over fifty wagon loads of dead fish being in sight. There are numerous theories afloat as to the cause. One is that the recent rains have roiled the water with mud, so that the fish have been unable to breathe, and strug gling to the surface for air, have died. Another is that during the dry, hot summer, the valleys and marshes above were filled with some poisonous growth that with the recent floods was carried into the streams and poisoced the water. Scientific Americai- weighs words more carefully. Mr. J. C. Plumb, of the Wisconsin Horticultural Society, says that the sea son following a great drouth is exceed ingly productive, "owing to the bring ing up of elements from the subsoil in a dry year. A very little insect powder dusted among the feathers on the head, neck, back and sides of chickens, it, is said, will kill all vermin. After being dusted the chicken shakes itself, thus distribut ing the powder thoroughly over its body. Household Hints. For coffee stains put thick glycerine on the wrong side and wash out with hike warm water. It is said freckles can be removed by washing the skia in water in which is dissolved a small quantity of borax. One housewife cleans her tea-kettle with strong soda and soap and then keeps an oyster-shell in it to collect the sedi ment from the water. In boiling meat for soup, use cold spot.
