The general rjtyles for fall and wln,
ttr wear are now definitely settled
upon. No striking Innovation art
ahown In the ninny creations exhibit
td by tho different fashion house. 1
a, general sense, the fashions of tho
past season are repented with ma
terial adapted to the change of wea
ther. 1
Tho prevailing styles of nklrt show
practically no variation from last sea
son. Draperies are seen, and aro han-
A Travelling Dress,
died In some cases with good effect,
lint the general use of ornamentation
above the waist tends to make the
plain or slightly draped skirt popular.
The fall nnd early winter are the
seasona for enjoyable travel. Noth
ing cotild be smarter than tho travel
ing dress shown in the accompanying
Illustration. It is in milk nnd choco
late cloth, with waistcoat nnd panels
of white cloth, striped with a deeper
hade of brown velvet ribbon, with
cameo buttons of smoked pearl set in
old silver, and the butterfly sleeve.
The lint shows n butterfly bow of
white felt and brown velvet caught
down by buckles of old silver. The
white tullo bow under the chin gives
the desired note of ereamiuess to the
whole. White doeskin gloves and
brown shoes should be worn with this
toilet. The umbrella Is of frown ellk
with a brciwn handle.
Sleeves generally follow the models
of last season. There Is the same gen
erous amplitude, and no new Ideas
worthy of note are shown. Slashings
re shown In some cases, revealing an
tmdorsleeve of contrasting material.
Sfre round waist is more popular than
over, and In many cases, as hereto
fore. Is of a contrasting material.
Short full basques nre still much worn,
either attached to the round waist or
Incorporated In the skirt.
Among colors, blue Is str.l popular,
ttxt a pepper anil salt tweed Is accept
ed as tho most fashionable nutumn
shade. One or two tailor gowns seen,
the other day were fashioned in this
pepper and salt suiting; the skirt fitted
the hips so closely as to suggest that
tho four buttons which ran .down
either side tho front were there ns
much for use as ornament, while tho
basque of the short, open-fronted
Jacket Just covered the hips, and un

satin lining, which showed ns the wear

(town, both double-breasted nnd rather
low, the one is a heavily grained Holland-colored
t'0ue, and the other In a
, saft chine silk, covered with a blurred
Coral design. The companion costume
was equally well turned out, and tho
combination of coloring Just ns clever,
A smooth-faced bottle green cloth was
the material employed, nnd this wns
arranged with a strapped seam skirt,
and double-breasted reefer coat, the
collar of which was faced with a deep
magenta-colored m'rolr velvet shot
green. A similar silk lined both coat
and skirt, and fashioned a plaited silk
blouse, which had the fullness at the
aek and sleeves set Into folded bands
of the velvet, while tho waist looked

skirts that will be worn during tho
com'ng season with fanciful waists of
velvet. 'Pansy-colored velvet, richly
embroidered, is tised for the low cor
snee, somewhat In Jacket shape.
The fall wraps are In various styles.
The triple capes are mostly In cloth,
each one stitched twice around the
edge. A double box plaiting of tho
cloth finishes the neck. Bows are pre
ferably of moire. A very hnndsomo
triple cape was In old green moire
edged with sable. Many single capes
nre seen In velvet lined with oatln.
Plain long double capes nre of various
materials, serge, cheviot, cloth or any
heavy goods being used.
Fashion decrees that the autumn
petticoat shall bo more elaborately
trimmed than the skirt Jtsolf. The
flounced nnd furbelowed petticoat
must not touch the ground, while the
skirt proper Is usually longer and
plain.
"Wigs will come Into fashion again
for ladles' wear." says nn adept Madi
son avenue. New York, artist In hair.
"The sty'.e in wjilch women have been
wearing' their hair for tho last font
years has not been encouraged, but
has been against the wearing of real
wigs. Toupees and separate arrange
ments of braids and curl have been
worn as much as ordinarily, but en
tire wigs have not been worn except
ns matters of necessity. This new
fashion of wearing the hair low on th
side of the head nnd knotted loosely
In the back Is Just the one for a real
wig.

One can now arrange her locks to
suit the contour of the head and face,
nnd still be In fashion.
Haircloth and alapaca skirts, mndt

Black serge dresses are trimmed with
watered silk, edged with ecru lace,
nnd black hop-sacking Is adorned with
Jet and yellow lace.
In laying away fine white summei
gowns they should be first wrapped
in blue paper, then In a sheet or in a
muslin wrap of some kind.
It is again permissible to tie th
bonnet under the chin. The young
man's heart may be tied upnt.the same
time, but, thank fortune, women don't
have to wait for bonnet 6trlngs foi
that.
Some of the new jackets nre very
effective, nnd nre frequently made open
in front, hanging straight from either
tilde of the neck with a double-breasted
vest which Is Joined to the coat at the
seam under the arms.
The nutumn and winter jackets
shown in the shops nre cut long with
very full backs, and fitted closely to
the figure with coat collars and large
rover. The materials are cheviot,
covert cloth, diagonals, kersey cloth
and chin-chllla beaver.

rrnpxrtjr Right of Woman.
The effect of recent statutes in Eng
land ns to the right of married women
to hold nnd convey property has been
a subject of much discussion In Eng
lish law Journals. "The Justice of the
Peace," In an article on "Female Trus
tees," reviews the legislation of recent
years, nnd shows how one and another
restriction has been removed, so that
a married woman can now act ns
trustee or executor with almost na
much freedom as a man can. Fnder
the common law the husband held the
property and was also liable for
liivuehes of trust committed by the
wife, so that there were grave objec
tions to allowing her to net as a trus
tee. The present liberal acts regarding
the property of married women allow
a woman to make contracts and to
hold trusts free from the control of
her liuxbund, and without rendering
hi in liable for her acts If she should
prove dishonest. The British Parlia
ment Is In some respects conservative
In dealing with property rights, but
has taken an ndvnnced ground In re
lation to the rights of married women
lu the management of property inde
pendent of control by tho husband.
Water a a Disinfectant.
It Is a fact that appears to be not
generally known, perhaps because It
may not be generally credited, that
pure, fresh, cold water Is one of the
most valuable of disinfectants, Inas
much as It Is a, powerful absorbent.
Kvery sick room should have a largo
vessel of clear water, frequently re
newed, plnced near the bed, ir even
beneath it. This not only "absorbs
much of tho hurtful vapor, but by Its
evaporation It softens and tempers the
atmosphere, doing away with the dry
ness which Is so trying and depressing
to an Invalid, or even to persons fn
I health for that matter. It has fre
j quently been shown, by actual experl
I menr, that troubled sleep 'and threa
I tened Insomnia are corrected by so
j simple a thing as the placing of an
! open bowl of water near the sufferer's
bed. London Telegraph.
Every Day Table Service.
If family meals are not always nice
ly served the company meal will be
so. Train the servant to wait on table
well every day, and when you give a
dinner party you will not need to look
after her. Tench her to hand the
dishes and pour glasses of water, and
take the plates at the left hand of
each person seated at the table, and
watch and see when glasses should be
replenished, or plates passed for more
food, or vegetables renewed. Every
servant should be taught to do all this
without nny noise of plates or clash
ing of glasses, and to remove the
courses without speaking a word, and
when the dessert Is placed on the table
to fill up the tumblurs and pass the
plates, and then retire.
Colli Itraakfnut Comfort.
Mrs. V. Hopklnaon Smith believes
that tho hmiHowlfe who would serve
cold meat for breakfast would commit
, tlii oquiil barbarity of cooking a poach
or of niurilurlus her jtrandraothcr.
NOTES OF THE FARM.
Each field Is Adapted to some special
crop. Study the soil and the needs of
the crop.
Better hire a little more help than
to keep the boys out of school to help
cut up or gather corn.
It Is well to remember that It 11
muscle rather than fat that Is needed
by breeding stock, ns fat leads to loaa
of energy, If not of health nnd vigor.
Tho recent rains have started grass
on lawns. When the lawn-mower Is
used rake up the short grass nnd put
It nway for the use of laying hens, as
they will accept It readily.
Well-cured eorn fodder Is more fully
digested than timothy hay, nnd Is nu
tritions nnd palatable. It Is roasted,
however, If left in the fields to lo ex
posed to rains, winds nnd frosts dur
ing the winter.
Tho fall Is tho time to use tho scales.
Weigh everything that goes Into the
barn and also that comes out. By no
doing you will nlwnys know how much
has been consumed nnd also howl
much remains on baud.
To preserve tho fertility of the soil,
says the National Stockman, three
methods are being practiced by our
best farmers, viz.: Kotatlon of crops,
application of commercial fertilizers
nml tho use of barnyard manure.
Hay may be profitably grown ns a
crop for market, but the land should
receive nn application of fertilizer
every year. Is it better to feed hay
to stock if possible. lut if preferred
ns a market crop It will pay better
than grain.
It Is authoritatively stated thnt tho
white pine of tho Northwest Is so near
ly exhausted that there Is practically
in) further supply for timber. We
have certainly reached the point whero
timber culture holds out a fair prom
ise of profit.
Excepting the golden rod. milk weed
nnd ragweed, all the rest of our weeds
have boon Imported. These foreign
nro the most troublesome nnd persist
ent. If It wns some one's duty to keep
them from the highways, these pests
would not travel so fast.
The greatest aid to success In farm
ing Is cheaper production. This menns
that the crops should be Increased by
the use f fertili7,ers lu order to de
crease the cost of the labor. The
larger the crop the lower the expeuso
nnd the greater the profit.
The better condition In which' the
farm tools nre kept tho less effort Is
required on the part of tennis, and on
the part of the workingnian nlso. yet
farmers will e their implements a
whole yenr without sharpening them.
No other mechanic would do this.
About one-third of n crop depends
upon the soil, one-third upon the seed,
one-third upon care nnd cultlvntlon,
but ench one of these must be nt Its
best to get full advantage of the
others. If either falls short more than
Its own proportion of tho crop is like
ly to fall short.
In Albermnrlo county, Virginia,
whero npples nre a special crop, one
grower thinned off nearly three-quarters
of the fruit from his trees last
year. He got Just ns many npples In
bushels, ns compnred with previous
years, and nlso received double the
mnrket price, ae the fruit was su
perior to nny ever before grown In
that section, both In size and quality.
The best yields of wheat are on
lauds that have a grnss crop In the ro
tation, especially of clover. The grow
ing of wheat nnd corn In succession,
with no change from them for a num
ber of years, will lend to exhaustion
unless fertilizers are applied in suf
ficient proportions to prevent loss of
fertllitv. Grass, however, Is a crop
of itself, nnd nlso benefits the soil by
shading It nnd by securing nitrogen
from the atmosphere.
How many farmers know how, when
nnd where to ship lu order to dispose
of their products? The merchant Is
careful to learn where to buy and sell,
and keeps himself posted on prices.
He nlso knows from whom to procure
goods at the lowest cost and where to
find tho best markets. The farmer
should be a business man when It
comes to selling nnd buying. To suc
ceed he should read and learn, and be
prepared before the crops mature.
Those who raise large crops of on
ions spread manure In the fall, plow
It under with a one-horse plow, and,
If the weather permits during the win
ter, the land Is cross-plowed, which
Incorporates the manure with tho soil.
The rains and frost pulverize the man
ure, nnd when early spring arrives the
plant food Is ready for the crop. The
plot for onions should be made ready
now, Instead of waiting uutil the time
for planting the seed or setting hut
the sets.
Science has disproved the rural be
lief that thunder sours milk. It is
now known that the souring results
from a fungous growth, and that this
fungus is peculiarly fatal to nursing
children. The old-time rural ibcllef
was that the concussion from thunder
acted mechanically upon the milk, and
first soured and then solidified It. It
happens that milk sours during or Just
after thunder storms because tho at
mospheric conditions then prevailing
are usually of a kind favorable to the
rapid development of the fungous
growth that sours milk.
The Ruaalan Thletle.
Prof. Morrow snys that the Illinois
Agricultural Experiment Station has
received specimens of the Russian
thistle from St, Charles, Hampshire,
Peotone, Polo, Nachusa and Davis
Junction. In each case but one the
plants were growing along railway
lines. In no caso were there many
plants, it seems important that farm
ers should carefully look for this weed
along railway lines and adjoining
lands. It will be easy to destroy a
few plants very difficult to kill the
thousands the seeds of these might
otherwise give us next year. I would
suggest that where the plant Is cer
tainly recognized, specimens be ex-
hihlted where farmers may see them
ana thus learn to know them.
