abroad. The balloon sleeve, however, will very largely gire place, say leading modistes, to the less voluminous mutton-leg shape, as it will be quite impossible to crowd the huge shapes of the past summer into the sleeves of a wrap without forming the wrap sleeve large cnougli to make its wearer appear a deformity or a guy. The balloon sleeve was particularly appropriate and pretty, made of airy summer textiles, but it would not prove a success made of heavy cold weather fabrics. Light wools and soft ail Us aro employed for present use blouses and shirt waists, and the serpentine form of their adjustment is still the popular one, and this appears on the second style of French cashmere gowns that dressmakers are now busy with, a smalf Spanish jacket of velvet being added, this finished with Vandyked cap sleevet which show in pretty contrast abova the bUhop sleeves of the blouse. The skirt is gored cloae'.y, then finished with a Spanish flounce that is often three-quarters of a yard deep. Thia ttkirt is a very favorite one this season with many of the Paris and London designers, and owes much of its popularity to its being one of the favorite styles in the making of the trousseau of the duchess of York. En suite with this skirt and Spanish jacket and blouse are Spanish capes of cloth or velvet, -with a deep circular flounce gathered to a yoke that is covered with passementerie or other rich trimming (velvet preferably when the cape is of cloth), and finished with a high Queen Isabella ruff of velvet, that is edged with a narrow band of ostrich feather trimming. Paniers, slight draperies and underskirts appear on new autumn gowns, and novel street rcdlngotes much like a modified princess dress with rich skirt trimmings and mutton leg fdceves, aro received from noted French designers. Many of them have one deep cape collar or a series of capes over the shoulders, and aro fashioned to fit as perfectly as a dress. Some of these capes are elegantly decorated, others have unhcmincd edges when faced cloth is used in making the redlngote, as this fabric never frays at the. edges. There are uioro rich wine dyes among fall and winter goods than have bneared for many years past. Pretty French toques will be worn en suite With tailor gowns with princess coal nd bell skirts; and sailor hats In felt and darlt str,aw will go with blouse and Eton suit . Katk Dunham.

PERSONAL AND UTERARY.

Queen Victoria has, it seems, a very targe hand. She takes a ! glove. Her fingers are short and out of proportion to the reit of her hand, and she invariably wears u black glove, which, no matter what ttie fashion may be, never exceeds a three-buttoa length, James Kerry, the English ex-executioner, has reached the end of his rope as a lecturer and is anxious to drop back on the other platform. He is appealing to ttie sheriffs In the United Kingdom to give him "a fresh start in life," he says, by helping others to start out of it .Mrs. Mary Anderson Navarro is writing a book of reminiscences of her stage life, and is seeking items about her early appearances from friends in various parts of the world. She is spending the summer in Switzerland and writing leisurely. The book will be looked for with great interest. Walter llcsant, the novelist, is now fifty-four years of age and has been writing for twenty-five years. He is a fine-looking, portlv man, a graduate of Cainoridge, where he studied for the church. The fine descriptions of tropical life which appear in some of Iiis early novels were gathered during his residence as a professor at Mauritius. --Augustus Ilemenway, a retired fanner of Canton, Mass.. has invitel all the public-school teachers of that town, twenty-six in number, to take t ten-days trip to the World's fair at his expense. He is a former member of the Massachusetts legislature, where he served on the committee of education, and is now a member of the Canton school committee. "President Lincoln's library consisted of three books, the I Üble, 'Pilgrim's Progress and a copy of 'The Revised Statutes of Indiana, containing the Declaration of Independence and the constitution of the United States," says an early friend of the great man. "and his education formed on this basis was sufficient to take him to the. presidency." A correspondent who saw the cmpress of Austria at a recent reception says that she presented a handsome and striking appearance. "The face, surrounded hy ringlets, looked young still, framed as it was in the laces of a broad collar that fell over fashionable pufE sleeves. A veil of flowered' gauze fell from the tresses that were set up like a tiara on the white brow. The old smile reappeared every moment, nnd the easy grace for which she was famous in the days when society saw more of her.," Lord Cromer, the llritish diplomatic agent at Cairo and the real ruler of Egypt is a very interesting Englishman. It is his habit to read Homer in the original Greek for half an hour after breakfast every morning, and hh afternoons are given up to lawn tennis. At the time of the recent "crisis" in Egyptian affairs he ordered the khedive to dismiss his prtrac minister within twenty-four hours, sent to Malta and to Aden for troops to support him in case of emergency, and then went oat and played tennis until sunset. Queen Victoria is not permitted to handle a newspaper or magazine of any kind, nor a letter from any person out side of her immediate family. Every day a secretary cuts from the papers all articles which he thinks would interest her, fastens the clippings to a sheet of silk paper ornamented with gold fringe, and presents it to her majesty. An American lad once sent her a choice collection of the flowers of our country, which she kept for three months and then returned with a kind letter expressing her enjoyment in looking over the specimens and explaining why she could not retain them. HUMOROUS. Minnie "Did he kiss you when he proposed?" May "Certainly: I wouldd't consider an- but sealed proposals." Vogue. He "Yes, I dislike her. Sh called me a big dunce." She "Absurd!

Net One 'Woman In n llunilrrd Can Do It (intcpfulljr. "I have no appetite whatever this morning." remarked the large woman, across the boarding-house breakfast table. At the same time she puts half a roll, a large bite of steak and a quantity of potato into her mouth. When they were all well inside -"But, then, I never do it's real distressing," and she proceeded to swallow her coffee with gusto. The timid-eved little woman who was mincing "her eggs and oatmeal suddenly put down her spoon. The woman without an appetite had at last I wen too much for her, just as she had long feared would somcdaj- be the case. "I coulii stand her everlasting regrets about eating so little if she wouldn't talk with her mouth full," she whispered to Miss ltriggs, as they mounted the stairs together. Miss ltriggs was a typewriter, but her pretty lips never met in anything but graceful curves during her entire meal. Thpret are not many women whe know how to eat," she answered "Wasn't it Lord Ityron who said some thing about not wanting to see a pretty girl eat? I lunch in a big. crowded restaurant, and, looking round, I rarely see a single face that isn't out of shape, with the mouths wandering all over the place. And such bites as the women take! And how fast they eat! It's what I was taught to call 'bolting' my food. And then they will talk with their mouths full. The words come out as rapidly as all that food will permit "I think that every child should be taught how to eat before a lookingglass, and then she can see for herself what a painful spectacle she makes of the perfectly natural process of chewing and swallowing. As it is, not one person in one hundred knows how to cat" N. Y. World. Size of t It Ilnmi. A goodly percentage of the homes of to-day are by far too large, und conducted on too elaborate a scale for those who live within them. Not that these people are living leyond their incomes; they are not The wife is simply living beyond her physical capacities. And why does she do it? In nine cases out of ten from a sense of false pride. To live more modestly would, she thinks, lay her open to the possible criticism of friends or neighbors. "People might think" this or l iint, she says. And to prevent people from "thinking" she is willing to sac ritlce her health, the welfare of her children and the happiness of her husband. She has help, but, after all, of what consequence is even tho best help in a home? There must be a head, and that head must think, and thinking will kill where work will only tire. If the evil of excessive housekeeping would only cease with the employment of servants life would be easier. Hut nlh the kind of servants we have nowadays the evil Is only increased.

A WOOLLY CURIOSITY. Calden Kl," a Sheep with a Keaaark. bin Mattery. We present a likeness of "that marvelous sheep, "Golden King,'" belonging to Hon. It E. Doan, of Wilmington, O. This animal has a remai kable history. It is a direct descendant from the identical sheep whoso wool was exhibited m 1859 at Cleveland, 0., at the "Wool Growers' and Manufacturers' (World's) exhibit of wool." The committee, composed of manufacturers of wool from England and America, out of our 000,000 pounds of wool on exhibition, gave this wool the first premium. At public sale the next day this, premium wool sold for M5 a pound. Tho next best wool of ll exhibited brought at the same sale but sixty cents a pound. This remarkable sheep, tho most remarkable sheep in tho world today, is tho result of twenty-eight years experiment in breeding and raising sheep in this country. "Golden King" is of the Saxony breed, the finest wooled sheep known. This wonderful sheep has never been sick a day in its life. It has upon its back the finest of wool twenty Inches in length and weighing fifty-clght pounds. Hon. Edward A. Greene, chairman of the committee on "Wool Exhibit," GOt.DEX KIN'O. World's Columbian exposition, July 14, 1S92, in his letter, relative to this sheep, says: "I have never seen a greater curiosity; the wool is the largest that 1 ever saw, and not showing breaks in the growth. I think it would be one of the greatest attractions in the wool department at tho World's Columbian exposition. It is worth putting in the National museum." Thousands of good judge, of sheep and fine wool have given the same universal testimony: "That they have never seen a greater curiosity, and that it is the most remarkable sheep in the world." Col. Doan believes that m tho breed ing of this class of sheep the problem of raising long and heavy wool, at no greater expense to the farmer than ordinary grades, will be solved. Axucr ican Farmer. PIG-PEN POINTERS. Pumpkins can profitably be raised to feed hogs or cows in the fall. Do sot bo stingy with the bedding given hogs, especially the sow who is in farrow. Avoir getting your breeding boar too fat; rather give him food that forms bone and muscle. Tub curl in the pig's tail is an indict tion of health aud thrift Don't fail to keep your eye on tho indicator. Stao.vaxt water is the home of dis ease germs; hence it is the best policy to have a drain in the hog yard. Whk.v you purchase any pigs quarantine them for thirty days before let ting them associate with your others. The grass-fed sow never becomes addicted to the vice of pig eating. Her whole system is in good condition, and only feverish, constipated sows devour their pigs. Wiiex yon aro compelled to keep your swine penned up, if you expect them to thrive as they should, you must see that they get some green food dally. In winter artichokes, turnips und the small potatoes should take the place of grass aud clover. Column's llural World. BEE KEEPING NOTES. Wladoin Foamlcrt on Experience, In a Condenned Form. Never waste timo in wintering weak olonics. Never take from a strong colony In the spring to build up a weak one, as you may lose the work of botli of them, Never keep a superannuated queen In your yard. -Never leave a newly-Hived swarm near the place where it clustered, as you may be surprised by its taking to the woods. Remove it to a stand at a distant part of the yard at once, whether all the bees arc in or not Strong colonies protect themselves against robbers and tho bee moth. Strong colonics tit the proper timo in sure a successful honey harvest A large number of extra combs are necessary where extracted honey is our aim. Itlack bees arc better architects than Italians, and can gather as much honey but the docility of Italians allows us to handle four colonies where wo can one of the blacks. Dr. Howard at Texai Uec Convention. Feeding Hheep for .Market. Feeding sheep for market can in many cases be made profitable if prop er care is taken in the management, yet the larger proportion of the sheep Bent to market have not been fed into a proper condition to make the best mutton. This not only lessens the price it is possible to realize, but also ufTccU the profits and tends to restrict consumption. It is an exceptional case with any kind of stock when it can bo considered desirable to send to market before they are fully ready, and especially no at this season when it is Comparatively easy with a little care 1b feeding to fully fatten for market With good pasturage a very little extra feeding will fit an average heep lata food condition for iwurkaL Wool ui Nuttaa,
