FASHION’S FANCIES. Whipcord is the favorite material whereof the tailor made gowns of many young women are composed. Some o f the new Russian velours show as many as three or four different colors. Thus, black, dahlia, golden brown and green w ill be combined in one cloth. The return o f the crinoline some time in the near future seems to be one o f the accepted facts. Already fashionable dressmakers are stiffening their dresses as far as the knees. The fashionable minktail trimming that was so popular at the beginning of the season is already practically out o f the market, the supply o f this little ani­ m al’s tails being entirely exhausted. Sealskin seems to be in greater favor than ever, and it apparently becomes more and more beautiful as the time goes on, probably because the manipula­ tion o f the skins unceasingly grows to­ ward perfection.

How important it is to make a tour of the stables at, say, 8 o’clock each night. And yet how few farmers, comparatively speaking, make this a habit. Many and many a tim e the owner o f stock w ill on his late round notice some premonitory symptom o f disease that has escaped the attention o f the hired hand earlier in the evening at feeding or milking time. Many a case of possibly fatal trouble may be caught in time by seeing the con­ dition of the animals before retiring. Cases o f colic very commonly come on after the evening meal, and if attended to at once w ill generally respond satis­ factorily to the medicines usual in such cases. W here the animals are not looked after late in the evening it is quite possi­ ble that sickness, which at that time could be treated successfully, may have proved fatal by morning. Horses win­ tering in stalls and loose boxes some­ times are unfortunate enough to cast themselves after a full meal. I f not helped up when it is impossible for them to rise without assistance, they may be dead in the morning. About this time of year early foals, calves, lambs and pigs are commencing to arrive, and it is therefore o f the greatest importance that all pregnant animals should be in­ spected before retiring for the night. W e need not go into detail in this matter, it w ill be only necessary to suggest the subject, as common sense w ill lead our readers to accept this “ jo g ” to their memories in good part. Just one more point. W e could quote cases where horses in stalls have been found strangled in the morning from getting foul in the hitching strap, rope or chain, while oth­ ers have lamed themselves for life by getting their feet caught in the same way and cutting their tendons in their struggles during the night.—N o r’west F armer. H o g » hi W in te r. It is no damage to the manure to have the hogs rooting it over if it is not drawn out upon the fiel Is about as fast as made. Neither is it any injury to the breeding stock to have them do so. They will be more vigorous and have stronger pigs if they have exercise, and it is well to en­ courage them to work by « altering a little com among the manure lief-re it goes into tile bam cellar. But while they can work in the manure heap nearly all day they should not sleep in it. The heat­ ing pile beneath them is probably warm, and they choose it for that and not for the sake o f the filth, but such a heat upon one side while the other is cold cannot be wholesome. Provide a w a rn ¡>en with an abundance o f bedding in it for them to lie down upon when tired o f working, and they w ill soon sho.v iliat they seek the bed for comfort. If they do not, driving them in a few times will convince them that their own nest is the place for them. Raw root» are quite a» good as cooked roots for them, as the cooked roots are too watery. If cooked, all the water should be drained >ft and then bran or oatmeal mixed with the warm roots when mashed up. Keep them in good grow ing condition, but do not get them too fat.—American Culti­ vator. T o A v o id I. o m In Lambs.

I con­ sidered m yself a temperance woman, disliking spirituous drafts of all kinds I “ tasted not,” but I did “ handle” when it came to mince pies. I prided myself on those pies and thought it needed “ just a little” to give them the desired flavor; but being a “ temperance (?) woman” I used so very little I did not dream that it could be detected. So when dinner time came, with no small degree of pride, I served mince pie. But great was my surprise to see my guest, the speaker, push back the plate containing it and abruptly leave the table and the house. He was gone two or three hours. W hen he “eturned it was evident that he had been going through a struggle. He looked so wan and pale, poor man! that as I observed his face I readily forgave his seeming rudeness. Reaching out his hand, he said very humbly: “ Can you pardon my abrupt leave taking? But,” he added, “ my conduct calls for an explanation, though I shrink from telling any one how weak I am.” Then walking across the room as if to nerve himself for an unpleasant duty, he turned and with tears in his eyes said: “ Madam, I pray God that none ,f your loved ones may ever know what it is to struggle as I have done since I left this house. Some boast that the love o f strong drink is taken from them, but you w ill realize to some extent my weak­ ness when I tell you that the faint odor o f it I detected in your pie nearly over­ came me. “ I rushed out into the air and walked like a w ild man away from saloons and what my appetite craved, and getting off alone I prayed, as only such a helpless one knows how to pray, that God would save me from myself. He alone is my strength, and yet I fear I never can in safety sit at his table where fermented wine is used. You may say a little brandy or wine w ill tempt none of my loved ones, but some chance guest, weak like myself, may be sent to perdi­ tion by your thoughtlessness.” This little incident made such an im­ pression upon me that I never shall for­ get it while life and reason last. Fifteen years have passed since then, and not a drop of anything that can intoxicate has gone into my cooking. I w ill admit that I have more than once been tempted to give to it the old time flavor, but each temptation has been met by “ For God’s sake, don’t!” seemingly uttered by that pleading face that I gazed into so re­ morsefully long ago.— Helena Thomas in Union Signal. EMMA NORTH LOCKETT. Colonel J. T. North, known to read­ ing Americans as the “ nitrate king,” lives in great stylo at A very H ill, El- tham, England, and the marriage re­ cently o f his daughter Emma was the occasion for a great display. The bride and her nine bridesmaids dazzled the eyes o f all in the crowded church. The bride’s gown was of white duchess satin, the front covered with fine point de gaze lace and the long train edged with the same. Her tulle veil covered a tiara o f real orange blossoms,which was fastened with a diamond crescent and a diamond bar. She also wore a pearl necklace, with diamond and pearl pendant, dia­ mond buckle and diamond earrings. The groom is Mr. George Alexander Lockett, o f Liverpool. A Can adian N e w s p a p er B u ild in g . THE TORONTO TIMES BUILDING. E n g la n d ’ * T e r r ib le and A w fu l C u m . Taking but one single element last year in England alone, 1,136 persons were recorded in the public register as having died by the most shameful and agonizing of diseases— delirium tremens. This is but one comparatively uncommon form of the curse which has thousands o f ramifications, and which blighted every region of the world. To think of the sights so common in this Christian land is enough, if they have any con­ sciences at all, to make them weep, as it must make angels weep, and might also make devils blush for their handiwork in defacing the image o f God. W h o is it debases splendid human ma­ terials into mere funnels for drink? W h o makes the corpses o f manhood— these tw ice dead with something worse than death; these who, ringed and scorched in every faculty, turn ole far­ ther into the flames o f temptation which they suffer to be kindled on every side? W h o injures the weak? W ho fosters the appetite? W h o multiplies the temp­ tations to which, with the hereditary taint in their veins, they are pll too cer­ tain to succumb? W ho increases the m ultiplicity o f flames about which poor human moths flutter for long hours and scorch themselves to death? If it be true that “ the sight o f means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done,” then can those who have never taken any part whatever in m itigating the terrible and aw fu l curse o f England repudiate all re­ sponsibility for this state o f things? Day by day the innocents are grow ing np to fill the miserable ranks o f the army o f drunkards, as by hundreds and thou­ sands death mows them down. If the pagan form o f evil was the hurricane, this is the pestilence, and better far the hurricane, with its thunders and light­ nings, and its tempests, its partial and temporary devastations, awful though they are, than the noisome pestilence whose path is never crossed, whose si­ lence is never disturbed, whose progress is never arrested, which walks silently through the breadth and length of the land, breathing poison in every heart and carrying havoc into every home, and day by clay and year by year, with intol­ erant and interminable malignity, sends its thousands and tens o f thousands of helpless victims into the ever yawning and never satisfied grave. They are pouring away the very blood o f their lries and flinging away the eternal jew els o f their souls into the till o f the publican. And everywhere the minimum of resistance is confronted with the maximum of temptation. The most wretched are le ft to sting them­ selves to death in the circle o f gin shops, with which, as with a ring o f fire, they encircle tfc.e very lowest o f their slum*. —Canon Farrar.

President Harrison has appointed Mr. W illiam Potter, of Philadelphia, as min­ ister to Ita ly and Mr. David P. Thomp­ son, of Portland, Or., as minister to Turkey. Mr. Potter was born in P h ila­ delphia in 1852 o f an old Revolutionary family, and possesses the various requi­ sites o f wealth, culture and ardent R e­ publican politics. Mr. Thompson was born in Cadiz, O., about 1832 and went to Oregon as surveyor in 1853. He ac­ quired wealth and took a prominent part in the state’s politics, having been governor of Idaho, mayor o f Portland and state senator. A P io n e e r W om an S u ffrage A d v o c a te . Lucy Stone, the pioneer advocate oi woman suffrage and its attendant re­ forms, is still livin g at Dorchester, Muss., in firm health and excel­ lent preservation at the age o f sev­ enty-four. She is, a* »h ea lw a y » ha* been, a gentle mannered and soft six »ken lady —the exact oppo­ site of that dis­ tortion which was formerly put on the stage to repre- M 1 the “ strong Li r r s t o n e . minded woman.” In 1855 she married Henry B. Black- well by a contract which authorized h «r to retain her maiden name, and he is still with her. Their married life ha* been an unusually happy one. A D escendant o f M ile » Standish. Professor J.V. Standish, recently made president o f Lombard university at Galesburg. Ills., is a descendant a f the f a m o u s Miles Standish and has kept up the fam­ ily record for en­ ergy and educa­ tion. He was born in Wood- stock, Vt., Feb. 25. 1825, w as graduated from Norwich univer­ sity in 1847. and in 1854 was made p r o f e s s o r of mathematics and * » a n d ish . astronomy in Lombard university—A position he held till June, 1891. A fte r a year o f rest and travel he wa* chosea for president o f the institution. In endeavoring to portray the «TmpkMMSf this disease we come face to face with a qo«*. tion o f exceeding difficulty, because o f thalr very close resemblance to other ^larisw whisk occur in cattle in our western states, and even anthrax itself offers lntra-yltal ph----- which more or less closely resemble t rented by this disease, especially in the I acute form. This fact has led many veteriaa* rians into most serious errors in The occurrence o f this disease in the tn m Novem ber to March must be o f essential differ­ ential diagnostic value. Like the swine plague, this disease may be fa toi in tw enty-fou r hours, or it may extend t* eight or ten days or some weeks before snob * result occurs. It is not a universally fatal d i* ease, as we now know better than ever before. Prim arily we have to do with an acute l poisoning disease, which, like all such d ^ Is accompanied by a more or less excessive ex­ acerbation o f the bodily temperature, varying, so fa r as known, from 80 dega. C. to 42 decs. 0.— that Is, from 10B.2 degs. F. to 107.8 decs These disturbances o f the circulation fre­ quently extend to the brain, where engorge­ ment and cerebral pressure occur, which in some animals takes on the form o f "craslneaa,” as the owners call it. The animals then bellow 1 fea rfu lly and chase other anim al», especially dogs, hogs or fow ls, but seldom human beings. I This lias led to the mistake o f their being i called "m a d " at times, and to this disease b*> I ing mixed up w ith so called "hydrophobia** in j cattle by some veterinarians. Other animals ! stand by themselves or are depressed and loath i to move. Separation from their companions is one o f the ttrst indications o f illness. As near­ ly as I can discern they can a ll swallow and all drink. A s in swine plague and southern cattls plague, constipation is a very frequent occur­ rence, w hile la xity o f the bowels also oftsn oc­ curs and may be looked upon as rather a fa­ vorable complication. Red urine does not oc­ cur. The visible m u cos» aro injected —»4 often have a yellowish red tinge. My inocu­ lated steer drunk all the time, and even at* a little during its most ill days. That such sick anim als should be disinclined to eat and often to drink is no wonder; but If clear water is placed before them no difficulty in swallowing w ill be discovered. M ilk cows soon slacken in their yield o f the lacteal fluid, and frequently the secretion ceases altogether fo r a time. It must be borne in mind that if the manor* and litter from a cattle yard where animals have had this disease are taken out and strewn over a Held and then plowed in, and that field is planted with corn, such corn is very lia­ ble to become invaded by this germ, and thus can be the cause o f more losses in cattls if turned into such " a stalk field " the ensuing fa ll and winter. On the eruption o f this disease in a herd of cattle which have been used to do the lasy man’s gleaning in a stalk field the first step to be taken Is the peremptory w ithdrawal o f the herd from such a field and such fodder. The next thing to do is either to number, brand or adopt some other means by which a record can be kept o f each anim al in the lot, and then take the temperature o f each one night and morning. A 11 w ith a temperature o f over 108 degs. F. must be looked upon as suspicious. Those in which it does not exceed or rise over 108 degs. F. need not cause any worry. Ther* is no need o f separating the sick from th* well, as the disease is not contagious. A saline purgative Is indicated fo r all th* animals. Those that die should be cremated, and with them a lot o f the litter in the yard. I f possible to avoid it, the regular cattle yard should never be used for such cattle after any o f them have become ill. Again 1 repeat In no case should a particle o f the manure or refuse from a place where such cattle have been confined ever be used fo r fertilising pur­ poses. Burn It up. The illustrations o f the disease in corn and descriptions o f the same have put us in posses­ sion o f th
