A T.oxnoN Daner says there
not one Jcorner of Europe where
American small-cost hardware is
not for sale.
"The biography of a river
and harbor bill" is an interesting
article in the Magazine of Amer
ican History for July. But it
omits all mention of "a pocket
veto."
Woek on the Panama canal is
said to be almost at a standstill;
the director-general and two other
officers have gone to France, it is
thought, to stimulate affairs on the
Isthmus.

It appears that America con
sumes annually.$256,O0O,000 worth
of tobacco, or somewhat more than
4 worth of the weed for each
soul, masouline, feminine and

Ix 183G the learned Dr. Dion
Lardner had demonstrated that no
steamship could possibly cross the
Atlantic; the keel of the Royal
Sovereign was not laid down till
183S, and songs of triumph were
sung when she made the passage
in fourteen days and six hours.
The immigration to this country
since the census of 1880 has been
3,809,886. The natural increase
in the population during the same
time was 7,728,149. With these
figures as a basis of calculation,
the New York Tribune estimates
the present population at 61,763,-818.
quality. The parade of a nominal
sovereign, with a long escort of
petty princes and small rulers, did
not in his judgment make a pa
geant of an impressive character
for the most ignorant. It did not
deserve for one moment to be men
tioned in comparison with the
Bunker Hill cemetery celebration
parade, in 1875. There every form
of human industry and progress
during the century had its repre
sentation in the splendidly em
blematical line.

Tue agricultural department has
issued a report whioh shows that
10,000,000 acres of forest are used
yearly in this country for fuel and
lumber. Fires, it is calculated,
destroy about 10,000,000 acres
more. The forest area of the
country is less than 450,000,000
acres.
The colleotor of customs at Sit
ka, Alaska, recently submitted to
the treasury department a question
submitted by a resident of Kodiak,
whether he can engage with a
schooner in the killing of fur
seals "in Alaska waters" not near
the Pribylov islands. The answer
was in the negative.
The platform of the Ohio labor
party breaks loose from Henry
George by asserting that "every
human being possesses a natural
. inalienable right, to sufficient land
for self-support, and we desire to
secure to every industrious citizen
a home as the highest result of our
free institutions."

The force of men at work is as large as !
may well be employed, but such is the
character of the work that, by the closest
estimate, not before the 1st of October
next "will the union by rail of the two
great Pacifio states be complete.
The surveying of the link of road re
maining was long ago finished. The
route is through a country mountainous,
rugged and picturesque. Th6 canons are
rocky and steep, ana aense iorests oi
pine and spruce cover the mountain sides.
The road is oompleted, going north, to
Lower Coles Station, just a quarter of a
mile from not only the boundary of
Siskiyou county, but ef California and
Oregon. Ashland, twenty miles north,
over the intervening faiskiyou range, is
the point to which the south-bound road
is finished. Between and above these
points the mountain range rises nearly
3,000 feet to a total eminenoe of nearly
4,600 feet. The grading has been a most
difficult feat of engineering. Chief En
gineer Hood has been on the ground
much of the time. At one point the
grade to the summit tunnel is 174 feet to
the mile, the greatest grade any where
on the Southern Paoific. Technically, in
engineering phraseology, it is known as
a "Three-three" grade, which signifies
that there is a rise of 3.3 feet m 100 feet.
The steep Tehachepi grade is muoh lew
than this, being only 116 feet rise in n
mile. Lower Coles Station is at the head
of the pretty valley of the cottonwood.
The road after leaving mere enters a
series of canons and then winds about
the mountain side up and up for eight
and a half miles when the greatest alti
tude is reached. Here n high, rugged
ridee blocked the way. The stage road
passes over it but for the railroad it was
Sieroed by a tunnel 3,100 feet in length,
'he altitude of the tunnel is 4,070 feet,
while that of Lower Coles only eight
and a half miles away is 2,8 0 feet, Ine
average grade between these points is 140
feet to a mile. Beyond the tunnel a
gradual winding descent begins. So tor
tuous ana curving is me raurouu graue
that the stage road, though it goes higher
on the ridge, is shorter.
Six-horse stage teams now carry many
Sassengers over the picturesque road,
'he .scenery is charming, 'ihero are
glimpses of the Klamath river and Cot
tonwood creek, of snow-capped Shasta,
fifty miles to the southeast, the Squat
Peaks to the southwest and the summits
of Gooseneck "and Sheep Book between
Shasta and the Klamath river. The ride
over the ridge and down to Ashland only
takes about five hours. The country is
wild and unsettled, nbounding in all
kinds of game. There ia little to attract
settlement here. It is the middle ground
between the vast fertile sections north
and south. Bulletin.
4,No, 1 do not own a petticoat," said a
woman attired pleasingly in a costume
of handsome blark moire and lr.ee of no
unfashionable impression.
The dress was made upon a gown
form with waist and skirt in one piece,
to secure even support of the weight
from different parts of the body. The
silk was laid on this foundation in deep
box pleatings to form the drapery of
the skirt. A full mass of lace beginning
at the upper part of the waist hung
loosely until reaching below the waist
line, being thence gathered hack at
either side a little lower than the hip in
the form of light folds ending in a
modest style of drapery at the back, un-
aistenaeu oy any artinciai meciianism
beneath. In harmony, with the fash
ionable arrangement of fancy slece,
the upper portion of that feature of the
frock was draped in lace, the wrist being
finished with a little lace cuff turned
neatly back.
A soft ruche of lace encircled the fair
neck ot the wearer, with a mosaic brooch
fastening the front of the waist the
only ornament worn. The shining
brown hair was arranged in curling
masses above an attractive face, so
beautifully attractive as to create a
wonder whether the dress had any grace
of its own or owed all to the wearer.
The not very delightful name of leg
lettes is given to the garment worn in
lieu of the petticoat with this costume,
the whole being conceived as represent
ing dress reform. This is made of surah

to need or fancy. Its form is like that
of Turkish trowsers. A jersey fitting
garment is worn next the body, which it
covers irom necK to ankle, ntting every
part with perfect smoothness. A style
favored by reformers is in flesh-color of
a costly grade of silk. It has been
affirmed by eyewitnesses among the
reformers themselves that a woman i
"a perfect vision of loveliness" when so
arrayed.
Over this covering, which fits the per
fect shape of the body while yielding to
every movement, comes a combination
linen garment, designated the chemi
lette. This also fits the body smoothly.
