so far successful that teeth and hair s can
alwas be kept in a state of prestive vigor.
All this is not—done without money,'
however, and/the amount that it takes to
produce a decent toilet now a-days is
enough to make the uniniatiated open
their eyes. Everybody dresses, and how
some people dress who have apparcntiy
little to dress on i one of the unfathom
ed mysteries of the nineteenth- century.
We can only regard this mania for dress
on the part of the women of Oe present ,
day as one of those mysterinip manifer
tations of retributive justice against' the
"tyrant man," that is a natural conse
quence of the mental subordination in
which the Ireaker vessel has for centu
ries been k'ept. It is something upon
the principle of aontinental Govern
ments, who amine the populace with mu
sic and dancing om Sundays, to keep them
from reflection. Let either once think
about it and they would son upset ty
ranny in either case. However, as ty
rant and victim both seem to admire the
full dress system, it becomes the journal
ist to treat the subject with respect,
wherefore your corresponent proposes to
give you a few ideas cni the fashions in
this epistle, but be it/understood that
while she assists in forging chains 'of
ribbons, silks, flowers, velvets, feathers
&c , she does it with the firm conviction
that these same chains, if used at 'all, will
be ultimately applied to the subjiga
tion of the aforesaid tyrant man himself.
The classic and historical styles of cos
tumes again begin to prevail. Flat trim.
mings are adopted for the first, and the
opposite for the other, and are likely to
remain fashionable for a season at least.
Ladles wear no hoops, and no pannier ex
cept such as is formed by tying back the
skirt drapery with tapes set on beneath,
and 'leaving the sides of the figure as
narrow as possible. A,design to display
a classic outline has developed into deter
mination with the fashionable woman
who has a fine figure, or who knows how
to appear to possess this highly valued
feminine attraction. The woman who
can't appear to be well shaped, should be
ware of the "classic." The one who can,
may betake herself to it with a certainty
of securing a shape of admiration.
One of the most useful inventions of
of the age ib the Butterick paper pattern
device. Here at Hamlin's, 1113 Chestnut
street, one can get an accurate cut pat
tern of any garment "they want for man,
woman or child, at most moderate prices.
By mentioning the age, printed direc

A new play was produced last night at
Col Wood's museum. It is a German so•
ciety play, and turns upon a school girl's
love affair with a teacher. Everything
that fine scenery, beautiful dressing and
good acting can do has been done for it,
but the tone of feeling is so at variance
with our national prejudices that ''The
Veruns" can never be a favorite. It is due
to Col. Wood to say that he is always on
the alert to encourage literary taste and
talent. More new plays are brought out
in the lecture room of his museum than
is all the other theatres in Philadelphia
put together. There is also on exhibi
tion at the museum a magnificent dia
mond uncut, and for which Tiffany, of
New York, has offered a hundred thous
and dollars. It is locked inside of two
cases, and a man stands gu!rd over it
night and day. Mr. Fox, of the Ameri
can Theatre, has returned from Europe,
having brought with him a corps of su
perior artists. But the wonder of this
establishment is "Lo Lo," a young girl,
who jumps from the third ties-of the the

To continue the subject of climatic
changes we will say our farmer's per
form a very important part. Thous ,
ands of scree are broken up annually and
exposed to the action of - the elements - of
nature. Millions of trees are set out eve
ry year. The fire king who, until settle
tlement here, destroyed every tree, shrub
and flower, is rapidly being brought un
der control, and as soon as he is subdued,
We shall have natural forests in addition
to those set out by individuals and rail
road companies.
The late act of Congress, giving 180
s to ever; one who sets out forty.
in 'forest trees, and cultivates and
kee owing .in good condition thaw
trees for a period at tea yew, will great
ly encourage timber culture. This.. *et
does not prevent any citizen, male or fe
male, holding a homestead or pre-emp
tion, having hundreds of acres, or - having
none, from taking a timber claim. We
have citizens who first pre-empted and
are now homesteading, who have availed
themstlves of this act to acquire 180
acres addltiontil. There is not one maxi
in ten, who comes to Kansas, satisfied
with but one farm.
In ten years from this date, these broad
treeless pl tins will be covered with grand
forest, shady groves and bearing orchards.
Hedges will be grown
_and the whole
landscape changed.
The construction of railroads, dita 1
ing and digging canals, are also agencies
doing a great work for our good, but of
minor importance when compared to the
first three, namely, the receding of the
buffalo, tilling of the soil and the cultiva
tion of trees.
Ooe of your anxious readers asks,
"Can you make farming pay when you
get such poor prices for your produce."
Farming pays here, and pays largely. The
average yieli of wheat is 25 bushels to
the acre. Wheat has never sold for less
than $1.50 per bushel as yet in this coun
ty. Corn this year will be worth from
fifteen to twenty cents per bushel, but by
feeding it to stock a farmer can realize
from 40 to 60 cents per bushel for every
bushel. Broom corn, castor beans, pats
and barley, all make profitable crops. Po
tatoes yield enormously, and must also
be fed to:pay. Sweet potatoes yield be
t. and all credence. J. K. Finch has rais
ed over 250 bushels to the acre. Stock
raising, however, is the fastest way to
get rich. The altitude and dryness of the
atmosphere,(Mix short winters :and ex
emption from cold rains, and the
boundless range together with the con
vences of railroads for marketing, makes
this section of the most desrable in the
world. Year after year cattle have been
kept here without .either shelter or food
other than nature provided them. Then
think how well they can be kept where
corn can be obtained for fifteen cents a
bushel, and hay costs less than three dol
lars per ton. If cattle raising pays where
land costs fifty dollars an acre, corn fifty
cents per bushel, and hay from eight to
1 twelve dollars per ton, it will assuredly
pay here. Scene.
