This was successfully tried in Hartford not v long ago when eleven good men and true were unable to influence their companion. The obstinate juror held out as long as he could, but the volumes of smoke that filled the jury rocin from the cigars, pipes and cigarettes of his cle en companions proved more effec-! tve than argument, and he gave iu.?

MacGowan, editor of the Chattanooga Times, in a recent article j on "Southern Cotton Textiles," shows by facts anil figures, the phenomenal; advance of the South in the manufac- i ture of cotton goods and demonstrates j that the South is steadily progressing | towards the manufacture of the finest j grades of cotton. In 1S90 there was not a bl^achery m the South, and all cotton goods manufactured in this section were sent to the North to be finished. There are now several j bleaeheries in the South, and Mr. Mac Gowan believes that a year or two hence j the South will have finishing capacity sufficient for all the goods mauufac tured there. The fact that Southern mills excel all others in colored goods, cotton toweling, cotton blankets, &c., is brought out in Mr. Mactlowan's article. The most interesting part of his article is that in which he exposes the fallacy of the general belief that the recent wonderiul advance of cotton manufacturing in the South is due to the advent of Northern enterprise and the investment of Northern capital. He soys: "By far the largest pari of the new mills built since Eastern spinners became actively interested in the Southern cotton trade are Southern properties, built with Southern money aud operated by Southern managers."

Old World Organization That is Flourish, ing in Ohio. Among the communistic societies of America none are more interesting thaa this one of Zoar, located about fifteen miles southeast of Massillon, Ohio. It owes its existence to a reli- j gious society not unlike that of the Frierds, founded in Germany 100 years ago and driven from that land by religious persecution. In 181V about -50 tho loft Rnv.trin Wurtemberjr. and Baden, and after many weary days of travel reached one of the most beautiful places in Ohio, where they decided to locate. This settlement was named Zoar, and is still in a flourishing condition, although they have not increased in numbers, as many of the younger members, dissatisfied with this small world, have cut loose to make a name and fortune for themselves. Those v.hc separated themselves from the colcnj cannot lay claim to a share in the property. The society, however, usually makes a voluntary gift, which is sufficient to establish the deserters la business. Until recently there were no difficulties, but some of the young people urged a division of the property and that each one be allowed to murage his own for himself. The original charter, however, provided thai the property could not be divided so long as three members wished to j hold together. The place has the at- j nit'Sphere of the old country from the garden, with its old-fashioned holly-1 * 1? ??1 ' ? ? nrifVt crrn no ! I1G( hs ana uukc; iuicicu nnu j vires, to the old Dutchman sitting at his back door on a high, straightbacked wooden bench, smoking his pipe. There is an air of cleanliness and comfort about everything, for each has the same pride in the whole as in the spot where he abides. The society at present owns 7,000 acres of land. On the whole the co-operative system has been a great financial success, although last year the society was somewhat in debt. The crops have been exceptionally good this year, and so enough may be realized to cancel i the debt and the balance laid aside for a rainy day. They have about 300 acres sown to wheat, 1U0 to rye and 200 to oats, and this year the wheat yielded 50 bushels per acre. Toward evening one may see about 200 fat cows wandering toward the stables + ^ ctollo iri thn mnQt CiUU 1UIU lUCil oiu. * 1U v**v ?W-, ported order. Each stall has the name of its occupant painted above it an*1 as the names become duplicated a number is added to the name, as Daisy 1 and Daisy 2. Each cow knows her own stall, and always walks into the right one. The milking is attended to by the women, each woman having a certain number of cows to milk. After this task is finished the milk is carried to one of the cleanliest of dairies, where some is apportioned to the differ cat families, and the remainder kept at the dairy for butter and cheese. Besides the farm conveniences the people have their own flour mill, saw mill, woolen mill, and dyehouse, tannery and brewery Their woolen mil! produces cloth for their clothing, blankets for their beds and also for their horses The surplus from their mills finds a ready sale through the eastern irlihers. The Tuscarawas River flows th) ovgh their land, and furnishes power tc run the machinery of the several mdu- which they operate. About fift.v hards are hired from outside the colony to help run these different mills. 1 Formerly these people were governed by a "general agent," who livec in a'large mansion, that is still standing. At present the colony is governed by three trustees chosen b? ballot. The colony is divided into twe Ciasres. one consisting of those whe are competent to vote because of their good behavior and age. and the other of those who still enjoy the benefits o! the colony but have no voice in it? government on account of their questionable character.

The MISSES* BLOUSE WAIST AND SHIRT. material employed is matted cheviot on a gray-blue ground, the woven rep stripes in rich dark blue that form the j border looking almost like heavy otto- j A CLOT! man ribbon in different widths. The skirt, straight on the lower edge, is simply hemmed or faced and hangs in graceful fullness irom two rows of tucked shirring that droop in the centre-front. Gathers adjust the fullness to the belt, the back being gathered into narrow space on each side of the placket, and falls in flute-like folds to the foot. The waist is arranged over fitted linings; the border at the top forming , the modish trimming. A tiny vest*of creamy cloth shows, between the open fronts of the stylish blouse, round, cream-pearl buttons decorating the edges. The wide belt and close standing collar are cut from the border. The fashionable sleeves fit the. arm closely to near the top where the fullness is stylishly caught up at the shoulder, the border trimming being applied as shown. When plain, plaid or mixed woolens are used, braid, ribbon or velvet can be applied in place of the border as here delineated. This makes a very siylisli costume for young girls and is adapted to tuner1 silk, wool or cotton fabrics. To make this blouse for a miss of fourteen years will require two and one-fourth yards of forty-foar-inch material, and the skirt will require two and three-fourth yards of the same width goods. Ji Cloth Cape. Although there are other wraps that bear the stamp and have the charm of novelty, the cape is too faithful and useful a servant to be ruthlessly thrown aside, says May Manton. The style shown in the double column illustration is exceedingly attractive and comfortable, and 4s adapted to auy of the medium weights or double-faced cloakings now in vogue. Double-faced castor cloth is here stylishly decorated with iuch-wide bands of satin-faced cloth, stitched on each side and decorated with round pearl buttons. Hat of fancy chenille, with rolling brim, Tarn crown of brown velvet and natural ostrich tips. A rolling box-pleat is formed at each side of the centre seam of the cape. It lies smoothly across the shoulders and falls in ripples over the sleeves, an underlying box-pleat on each front being finished with the stitched bands * oTlw*' J 1 ?-*'rL- A * I ' S. ;?'

The collar is of the st yle known as ' Lafayette" this season, being seamed to tit the neck comfortably, with the top finished in pretty tabs. The closing is invisibly made in ccntre-fiont, a pointed strap at the ucck being buttoned across for better protection. Capes in this style can be handsomely developed in velvet, corded silk, moire, velours and all kinds of medium or heavy cloth eloakings. Made of woolens to match the costume, they are particularly becoming and can be either linished sitnply with tailor stitching or decorated with braid or passementerie. To make this cape for a woman of medium size will require one and onehalf yards of lifty-four-iuch material. ~ SI)lUli Frock For a Girl. No material yet discovered gives greater satisfaction or servos better for school wear thau does light-weight, all-wool cheviot. The stylish frock shown in the illustration is made of the material in a medium shade of tancolor with silk vest of a darker tone and trimming of black ribbon velvet. The bodice which is full and on the popular blouse style is made over a fitted lining showing the nsual number of pieces and seams. The outside material is joined at the shoulder and under-arm seams, only the closing being effected at the centre-back by means of bnttons and button-holes. The backs are arranged with slight fulness at the waist. The vest is laid on to the front lining, the blonse proper and the becoming revers serving to close the joining. The sleeves are two-seamed and show slight puffs at the shoulders which serve to support the epaulette portions of the revers. At each shoulder is a rosette of * * * -i ?i iL. riuuon Velvet anu me sumw muicnoi makes ike waist band. The neck is finished with the simplest of collars trimmed with rows of narrow velvet. The skirt is fonr-pieced, including a gored front, gored sides and a straight back. It is lined throughout with percaline.
