, The shops in New York are again dis
playing hoop skirts, and report a good
sale for them. At one time the hoop
skirt manufactories were numerous, and
a large capital was engaged in the busi
ness. Since the hoop skirt went out of
fashion the factories have nearly all dis
appeared, and the capital has gone into
other enterprises. A hoop skirt manu
facturer said to a reporter :
" I recollect the time when we em
ployed 1,200 hande, and our product
was 10,000 skirts a day. That was dur
ing the war, but about 1868 the hoop
skirt went out of fashion and the trade
died out. There was a transient revival
in 1870, but it disappeared, and from
then until now the hoop skirt trade has
been a very small part of our business.
We have always continued the manu
facture to some extent, getting orders
every now and then, mostly from the
South and West. Some ladies have
never given up the use of the hoop
skirt at all; but they have been old
fashioned people who liked it because of
its comfort. Now.however, it is in fshion
again. The demand has sprang up so
suddenly that it is impossible to meet
it. For the last six months there has
been an increasing demand, and in tne
last few weeks, in addition to the local
demand, we have been constantly re
ceiving orders by telegraph from Phila
delphia, Pittsburg, and other cities,
and are sold ahead of pvodnction all the
time. The trouble is that the old ope
ratives have gone into other pursuits,
and it is impossible to got hands enough.
At present we are turning out about 100
dozen a day."
" How do you account for the
change ?"
"Well, you know when fashion runs
to extremes there is likely to be a vio
lent reaction. Hoop skirts were driven
out of fashion because the style was
pushed to such an extreme. Hoops got
to be four or five yards around in the
style known as tilters.' A lady could
hardly get into a church pew. When
she sat down her dress ballooned and
took lip the whole side of a street car.
The newspapers all got to making fun
of the fashion, and there was a reaction
against hoop skirts. Another thing that
had to do with it, I suppose, was the
hard times. It took a great deal of
fabric to cover those big skeleton tents,
and there was a saving in adopting nar
row skirts. Now, tight dresses have
been pushed to an extreme, and a reac
tion toward fuller dresses and the hoop
is natural."
" How does the new style compare
with the oldl1" asked the reporter.
" Look at that !" said Sir. Bradley,
pointing to a hoop skirt hanging from
the ceiling. It was a great circular
wire cage yards around. "Now look
at this I" and he held up a slim, grace
ful skirt, with hoops secured by broad
tapes, and running about half way up.
" The old hoops ran up to 150 inches in
circumference. The present style runs
from fifty-five to sixty-five inches. Now,
if the modistes do not push the style
to excess, and will keep tEe hoop skirt
down to two yards in circumference, it
will remain in use."
" Has there been much change in
the manufacture of hoop skirts V"
' All the change in the world. It was
in 1857 that hoop skirts first came into
use. I remember the first articles of
the kind which were imported from
Europe. They were cumbrous affairs,
the hoops niaile ot bamboo, cane or
rattan. Iron was considered too heavy
a material. Steel hoops were intro
duced by American makers. Ifc was r
long process to get the right quality of
steel. If made too hard the steel would
snap, and if too soft the hoop would
bend in wear and lose its shape. Now.
the steel is so well tempered that the
hoop skirt retains its shape and at the
same time conforms to changes of atti
tude in the wearer like a woven fabric.
The weight of a skirt like that now
coming into fashion is less than one
fourth of that of the old style of skirt,
and the new skirt will wear four timos
as long as the old."
FiiHliton Notes.
Awning striped skirts are worn under
tunics of blue and olive-green ilannel.
White costumes are worn upon the
street and m all publio places in the
country.
The latest poke 'bonnets show signs
of assuming the proportions of the tow
ering scoops of 1705.
Anew "Jersey "is imported made of
chenille network, with a fine rubber in
the meshing, causing it to fit the figure
as closely as the silk webbing used to
last winter.
Immense Wateau fans made of cre
tonne are now exhibited, and are made
to match in colors and designs the
bright cretonnes, foulards, Pompadour
cambrics and other gay summer dress
fabrics.
Pretty hats for the country are made
in the "Niniche " shape slanting down
in front over the face. They are fash
ionably made of the coarse porcupine
- straw in cardinal or gold, and are
trimmed with an Alsatian bow of surah
placed on the crown toward the front
of the hat. The brim is lined with a
shirred trimming to match.
A stylish hat in the modified Marie
Stuart shape is made of marroon straw,
a fine English braid, lined with shirred
satin of a darker color, end bordered
with a tiny gold passementerie. The
outside is trimmed with a satin scarf of
the deep maroon color, shot with gold,
and a wreath of gold-hearted poppies,
shading from a deep crimson to a pole
flesh tint.
The costliness and variety of ladies'
hose is daily becoming more marked.
The very last thing in this direction is
to wear a stocking of one color on one
foot and a contrasting one on the other
for instance a black silk stocking on
the right foot and a cardinal one on the
left, or one of pale blue with another
of gold color. This fashion seems to
be more suggestive of a gaudy clown at
" a circus performance than anything
else.
With high Dodices this season tulle
ruches or mull puffs are more fashion,
able than crepe lisse ruffles. If slightly
open the bodice is accompanied by a
deep Stuart collar edged with lace, and
cuffs to match put on over the sleeve
If out Pompudour the open square is
filled up with a finely-shirred chemisette
of French mull finished with a full
ruche. A great deal of lace is worn
' about the throat and wrists, and the
corsage bouquet is still the favorite ad
junct of all summer toilets, however
simple.

Filling a horses rack with hay, as
some persons do, nnd permitting a con
stant supply to remain before the ani
mal, is one of the most probable means
of producing disease, and most positive
in rendering animals unfit for fast work.
Large supplies of hay have the effect of
making the stomach largo and weak,
the belly in course 'of time becoming
pendulous. Not only does the stomach
increase incapacity, but, the large intes
tines become enlarged.

Pigs that are to be marketed this
year should be pushed hard from the
beginning. If allowed to stand still for
a day there will be a loss. Ground oats
and corn mixed, or ground com with
wheat middlings, will make a good slop
for the pigs ; soaked corn will also be
highly relished, and will be found well
adapted to keeping the pigs in high
flesh ; but as soon as the new corn is
fairly in milk that will be found the
best of all fattening foods. On the other
hand, if pigs are to be kept over the
winter there should be no stimulating
or forcing. Give them the run of a
clover field the first summer, with a
small allowance of grain.

A young man, eighteen years of age,
who has been his father's main help in
cultivating an eighty-acre farm, said
"Our principal business tins- summer
has been the Raving of manure, one
Item of which has been to supply bed
ding for eight calves that wero kept tin-
to' a sliert during the entiro summer
Early in the season sawdust was used
daily, in sufficient quantities to absorb
the liquids and keep the calves dry, and
later, dry earth, leaves or anything that
could be obtained most readily. In the
fall thirty-one horse-cart loads of manure
were drawn from this shea. Since
manure is the one article most needed
on a farm, the farmer never should
cease laying plans for making it, and,
if successful, he may look for largo re
turns in produce." Exchange.
A Hint for Orclinrriintn.
One of the worst enemies the apple
orchard has to contend with is the cod
ling mcth, which, unless dealt with in a
vigorous manner, is very apt to destroy
the fruit of tho orchard. The pasturing
sheep in the orchard, when the fruit ap
proaches the ripening stace, appropriate
to themselves the earlv decayed fruit that
falls, and thus keep in check the worm
which does all the damage. A. R. Whit
ney, of Franklin Grove, Lee county, Ills.,
the largest orchardist in the United
States, having 45,000 bearing trees, re
marked at the recent meeting of the
American Nurservmen's Association at
Davton, that he could not get along at
all in his orchard without sheep. While
the fvuit of his neigbors, who do not
keep sheep, suffers badly, his apples
are smooth, sound and uninjured by his
mode of preserving them from the
enemy.

"We have frequent communications,"
says the AmericnnCulttvator, "lrom our
subscribers concerning the tact ot their
cows giving bloody milk. No one
would be surprised at cows giving
bloodv milk if they were fully aware of
what a network of blood vessels the
udder of a cow is composed. No person
should ever make an attempt to milk a
cow till they have obtained some know-
ledge of its structure ; then we perhaps
should dispense with a large number
of those double-fisted men who do not
seem to have any knowledge of the
purposes or anatomy of a cow's bag, ex
cept for them to squeeze and drag it as
though it were a piece ot dead hide
There is no objection to the strong
hnnded man as a milker, the stronger
the better, but it should be accompanied
by a touch as delicate as a woman's,
Whenever the cow manifests the slight
est sensitiveness the udder should bo
thoroughly examined. Milking i3 a
pleasure to tho cow when everything
is all right, and whenever it ceases to
afford gratification to the cow there is
evidently something wrong. Never
fail to wash with warm water the bag of
a voung heifer, both before and after
milking."

In these days when diseases, of the
throat are so universally prevalent, and
in so many cases fatal, wo feel it ouv
duty to say a word in behalf of a most
enectual, it not positive, cure tor sore
throat.
For many years past, indeed, we may
say during the whole of a life of more
than forty years, we. have been subject
to sore throat, and more particularly to
a dry hacking cough, which is not only
distressing to ourselves, but to our
friends and those with whom we are
brought into business contact.
Last fall we were induced to try what
virtue there was in common salt. We
commenced by using it three times a
day morning, noon and night. We
dissolved a large tablespoonful of pure
table salt in about a half small tumbler
full of water. With this we gargle the
throat most thoroughly just before meal
time. The result has been that dunn
the entire winter we were not only free
from coughs and colds, cut the dry,
hacking cough has entirely disappeared
We attribute these satisfactory results
solely to the use of salt gargle, and
most cordially recommend a trial of
ot those who are subject to diseases of
the throat.
Many persons who have never tried
tho salt gargle have the impression that
it is unpleasant, huch is not the case.
On the contrary, it is pleasant, and after
a few days use no person who loves
nice clean mouth and a first-rate sharp,
ener of the appetite will abandon it.-Kv,

Two to four hens and one gobbler are

When they begin to lay watch them and
rind their nests, which are generally
made in some obscure place. Remove
the egg3 as fast as they are deposited in
tue nest, and put a chicken hen a egg
m for a nest egg. When she lays out
her number, which is usually from fif
teen to twenty, and begins to aet remove
her at night to a point near the dwell
ing, having prepared a setting-place in
a barrel turned down on the side and
straw therein. Fasten the mouth up
for a day and night, so she cannot get
out. The following day remove the
fastening, and if she goes back to her
old nest, take her at night and fasten
her up again for twenty-four or thirty
hours. By this time she will become ao
customed to her new and convenient
quarters and you will not Buffer from
the depredations of crows or egg thieves,
Never put more than seventeen turkey
eggs with a turkey ben nor mora than
twelve turkey egg with a chicken hen,
Some poultry raisers prefer to have all
their turkeys hatched wun ciiickbu uciir.,
but my experience is that the young do
better when reared by their natural
mother. While your eggs are accumu
lating keep them in a box or basket in
a dark place with an old woolen cloth
under and over them. Handle them
very gently and turn them over in the
basket every few days. Last year I had
forty-nine out of fifty eggs to hatch
when managed as above stated, and
raised forty-three of them. When the
eggs are all hatched, fasten tho hen up
in a sheltered pen so the little things
can got in and out at pleasure, and
where the wind and rain cannot reach
them on the west and north sides.
Keep them in this way until they are
three or four weeks old, and then they
and shift for themselves and will be as
hardy as any fowl. Until they are about
a month old they are the tenderest of
all domestic birds. Feed them on curds
and let them have plenty of buttermilk
to drink, with now and then cooked
corn bread, with a little salt and some
cayenne pepper added before cooking,
and give them wheat screenings occa
sionally. Feed them regularly night
and morning, and they will always come
home to roost, after feeding in the fields
for a quarter of a mile around the house
all day. When one-third grown, noth
ing h better to feed them than whole
grains of corn ; but generally this is not
necessary, as grasshoppers and other
insects are their choice food. Corre

put one and one-half pound sugar, and
boil very slowly one hour, bur often,

into a pan, and lot them stand two or
three hours. Then boil them in a por

fully. hen no more scum rises,
mash them and boil them to smooth
marmalade. WThen cold, put them in
glass tumblers.
Stewed Cucumbeiss. Cut the cucum
bers fully half an inch thick right
through ; put them in a sauce-pan, just
covering them with hot water, and let
them boil slowly for a quarter of an
hour, or until tender, but not so as to
break them ; then drain them : you
want now a pint of good cream, and put
your cream, with a teaspoontui ot but

pop in the cucumbers ; season with
a little salt and white pppper, cook hve
minutes, shaking the saucepan all the
time, and serve hot. It is just as deli
cate as asparagus, and a very nice dish
indeed.
Tomato Pee Meat Take the renrins
of roast meats, (roast beef or other meats
will answer,) chop as for hash, and chop
three times as much bread. Have
peeled some tomatoes. Take a broad
iron or tin basin and grease it, then pro
ceed to make your pie. First put a
layer of crumbs, then a thin layer of
the meat, slice a layer of tomatoes over
the meat, season with salt and pepper,
then add other layera as before, and
lastly, cover the top with the bread,
and press all down fimoothly to form
the upper crust. If you have the
gravy, pour it over the pie to moisten
the bread, but avoid using too much
fat ; or melt a piece of butter m two
cups of water and a little salt, if you
have no gravy. Bake until the crust is
brown and the tomatoes cooked, in n
moderately hot oven, and let it stand tc
cool awhile before turning it out. It
rightly done you will be surprised to
have so nice a dish from remnants. The
canned tomatoes are good in winter.
Beards.
Exceptionally long beards have al
ways attracted a good deal of attention,
and history records many instances ot
this kind. Rauber von Talberjr, a Ger
man knight, and councillor ot Maxi
milian II. (d. 1575), rejoiced in a beard
that reached to his teet, and irom there
again to his waist. John Mayo, a cele
brated painter of the sixteenth century,
who accompanied Uharies V. in his
campaign, had a beard so long, that al
though he was a tall man, it would hang
upon the ground when he stood up
right; he wore it, therefore, fastened to
his girdle.
George Killingworth, sent by Queen
Mary as one of her agents in 1555 to
Czar Ivan the Terrible, is said to have
had a beard five feet two inches long,
In the olden time, when every part of
the body had its price, the beard was
valued at twenty shillings a large sum
for that time while the loss of a leg
was only estimated at twelve shillings,
We can easily imagine that at periods
when the beard and whiskers were
looked npon as ornamental, false beards
were substituted tor the genuine article
Pedro IV., of Aragon (1351), fouud him
self compelled to prohibit his Catalonian
subjects from wearing taise beards
But the most singular substitute is the
golden beard, which, Chrysostemus
says, was worn by the kings of Persia,
Suetonius says the same of Caligula,
the Roman emperor. According to An
dreas Favyn, the kings of France of the
first dynasty wore beards entwined with
scold threads. .Duke lienatus, oi Jior
raine, was the last, and it is related that
he wore at the funeral of Charles of
Burgundy, who died at Nancy in 1477, a
beard of gold thread hanging down to
his girdle. As Jupiter was sometimes
adorned with a golden beard, the phrase
aurenm barbam habere was equivalent to
saving Deum esse.
Beards were at various times taxed
in England. Thus we read in Notes and
Queries that the sheriff of Canterbury
paid three shilling and fourpence for
wearing a beard. In the first year of
Elizabeth every beard above a fort
night's growth was taxed three shillings
and sixpence; but the law was too ab
surd to be enforced. The duty imposed
upon beards by Peter the Great was
ruble (about three shillings). This tax
met with a fate similar to that of Eliza'
beth's, and was soon canceled.

well as the hairiness of the body, dif
fers not merely in different races, but
also in families of the same race. In
Europe and a portion of Asia beards
prevail, until we go beyond India, when
gradually beards disappear, as is the
case with the Siamese, Chinese and
Japanese.

On my first shooting expedition to the
Bontobok Flats I was accompanied by
a soldier servant who had gone through
his course of musketry instruction at
Maidstone with credit, ha l passed all
drills and was fit to fight the foe. He
carried my spare lifle. I left him in
charge of the horses, and tried to stalk
a herd of springbok. They took alarm
and ran round to within five hundred
yards of where I had left him. Instead

without result. On my blaming him ho
said: "It was not a bad shot, sir; I saw
the bullet strike. It was only a hundred
yards short, and a little to the right 1"
Now, there were at least 200 deer in
that herd. I bagged nothing that day,
and toward evening met a Dutch farmer,
followed by his after-rider, returning to
camp. Uhey had three springbok and
one rehbok on their saddles, and these
animals are not very much larger than
goats. I found him very friendly, and
I told him I had not been able to got
within 400 yards of game all day, though
had had considerable experience in
India. He said: "That is quite near
enough. I shot one buck 500 yards, one
at over 4.00 yards; the other was very
near, only auu yards." He asked me to
come to his camp, and told me that judg
ing distance was the great difficulty,
and having rifles properly sighted. He
pointed to an ant hill on the opposite
side of several ravines, and said :
"That is 500 yards off," set his sights,
fired, and the white dust flew in the air.
He pointed to another in an opposite
direction, and Baid : " That is 400
yards," altered his sights and the dust
flew again. This rifle was sighted at
one hundred yards, at which distance,
he told me, he had often killed single
deer. I bought it of him. There are
st v oral reasons why the Boers should
be what they are as a nation without
exception the finest bhots in the world.
They carry rifles from boyhood all the
year round, having no close season for
game, the countless herds lrom the in
terior of Africa constantly invading
their farm3. The clearness of the at
mosphore enables them to see a great
distance, and the almost constant dry
ness ot the soil enables them to see
where their bullets strike, and to know
if they have judged tho distance ac
curately. This is an incalculable ad'
vantage, as in Scotland it is almost
lwavs impossible to see where the
missing bullet strikes, and few sports
men pretend to kill even the great red
eer at much over UOO yards. 1 knew a
Cape farmer constantly kill bushbok no

dressing-room window on a sunny grass

Toy Fislols and Lockjaw.
On summinor up the casualties of our
explosive holiday, tho Fourth of July,
the numbers of the killed and maimed
ival those of some battles which have
decided the fate of empires.
The majority of the injuries were m-
flicted by the toy pistol, using blank
cartridges, the introduction of which
has been followed by a general epi-
demic of lockjaw, particularly in our
larger towns and cities.
The toy is a cheap contrivance of cast
iron, with a barrel about two inches
long. It is a breech-loader, intended
for blank cartridges, the powder being
held in a metallic case either by a paper
wad or by folding inward the slashed
end of the cartridge-case. There is no
half-cock; the trigger catch is roughly
made, and there is always danger of an
accidental discharge when tho hingod
barrel is being returned to place alter
t ho insertion of the cartridge. At such
times the barrel is held in the left hand,
and the discharge inflicts an ugly wound
in the palm. Other wounds are inflict
ed by the paper wad or by fragments of
tiie cut end ot the copper cartridge-case,
which Rre shot off with considerable
force. In other cases buck-shot, gravel,
nails or other missiles, placed in the
barrel by heedless or malicious urchins,
have caused severe, sometimes fatal, in
juries. The more serious wounds
however, are usually caused by acci
dental discharges, the powder, wad or
copper fragments entering the lacerated
palm and so injuring the nerves that
lockjaw is the result. lucre were sev
enteen fatal cases of this sort in Balti
more on the Fourth. Fifty cases were
brought in for treatment in three hos
pitals in this city, with eight or ten
deaths; and there is no telling how
many more cases were under private
treatment. Other townj aj ear to
have suffered proportionally except
Philadelphia, where, in consequence of
fifteen fatalities from toy-pistol wounds
last year, the use ot the weapon this
year was suppressed by the city author
lties.
Other towns will do well to follow
the example of Philadelphia. Parents
are often ignorant or careless, and a five
or ten-cent pistol oners irresistible at
tractions to many boys. In anticipation
of next year s celebration some means
should be adopted to prevent the man
ufacture, sale and use of such murder
ous playthings. Even the use of the
pistol -shaped device for snapping paper
caps should be stopped. No harm can
result from them directly, but the habit
which children acquire of pointing such
things at each other in lun is not con
ducive to care or caution in handling
real pistols. Scientific American.

a house at all. I just want you to build
me three tiers of closets, like jail cells;
one hundred and thirty closets in a tier,
and . put a roof over the top tier. I
want to put up a house that will contain
enough closets to satisfy my wife." But
tne architect, who was a man ot broad
experience, told him he would have to
put a thousand closets in a tier and
make the edifice six stories high, and
then his wife would say, when it was
completed, that there wasn't a closet in
the house big enough for a cat to turn

It from the blood that the body derive
vitality, since not only doei the blood contain
the elements oi muscular ami nervous tissue
and bone, but upon its outgo through lt many
channels and reflux to the heart, existence it

motor be deficient in nourishing constituents,
the body loses strength and weight, ana health
languishes. In order to enrich the blood, and

Ex-Queen Isabella, of Spain, is a great
admirer of the Taris Figaro, and fre
quently drops in of an evening to see
the staff at work, always ending her call
by inviting the force out to a banquet
at her expense. We don't see how an
editor can work witn a queen rummag
ing round the office knocking over type
and reading manuscript that is none of
her business. It would annoy us to
death. Peck's Sun,

"T believn it to bo all wronu and even wicked

into giving testimonials to quack doctors for

commend it. I therelore cheorlnliy and Heart
