As illustrat ed, the Eton is of satin-faced cloth in n soft pastel tan and make? part of ;a costume, the skirt of which is cir cular. The trimming ls made of ? 5 LADIES' tsi stitched bands of cloth and the revers and cuffs are faced with heavy corded white silk. Beneath the jacket ls worn a peasant waist, with a jabot of white chiffon and stock collar of lace. ; The back of the Eton ls seamless and fits smoothly and snugly. Thc full fronts pouch slightly and are stitched from shoulder to waist, but the garment ls fitted by means of shoulder and under-arm seams only. The collar, which is a feature, ls .slightly pointed at the back and flares becomingly, against the face. Togeth er with the fronts it ls faced with white silk and rolls over to form revers.. At tho waist is a belt of ma terial, also stitched. The sleeves are two-seamed and snug, but not over tight, and are finished with flare cuffs, headed by a stitched band. The clos ing is accomplished by. means of loops of braid and handsome buttons. To cut the blouse Eton for a woman of medium size four yards of material twenty-one inches wide, two and one fourth yards forty-four inches wide, or two yhrds fifty Inches wide, will be required, with one and three eighth yards or silk to face revers, collar and cuffs. - Ladle*' Fancy Shirt Waist.

The foundation for thc waist is a lining titted with single darts und shoulder and undcr-arm seams. On this are arranged the slightly full bach nud thc pouched fronts. The lining closes nt tho centre front, the left front proper extends to the cen tre only, but thc right extends over the left and is buttoned diagonally into place. The tiny chemisette and stock collar are permanently attached to the right lining front, and hook over into the left. The neck of the waist is finished with a shaped col lar that greatly adds to the effect.

Henry loomis Kelson. o O?OO?CC???OCOOOOO?OOOOOOOO ?t is not many yedra since the De partment of Agriculture was a verj small concern, but how lt is in fact as in hame a great and perhaps the most useful department of the gov ernment, wMle at Its head ls a mem ber of the cabinet. What does ibis department do for the farmer? Working In aa Unfre quented ^art of Washington, or out in the country in Maryland, or nt the various experimennt stations which are usnally connected with agricul tural colleges, are about 3000 people Of the 2000 lu Washington about one il AIN BUILD OG OP a tffttto&'tVM mais and their causes are investi gated. This article would be uninteresting and therefore worthless if I should undertake t;> describe technically the work done by the department. 1 shall try to give the reader a general idea of what these practical and scientific men are doing for the country, be cause after a visit to the bureau in Washington I was lcd to read a good deal of its literature, and to look iu THE HYDROCYANIC GAS TREATMENT. to the subject, and lt struck me that the work Is not only in every way worthy, but that its real value is not widely understood, hus been laughed, or smiled into oblivion, perhaps on account of thc jokes about the seeds and thc "farmers" who distribute and receive them. In the first place the department provide.-; nu opportunity to make farming as profitable 4f in the nature of things it can possibly be. It docs this by . fording to thc farmer who will avail himself of it full knowledge of the requirements of his art, of the conditions of the soil and climate of his neighborhood, and of ibo crops which may be most profitably grown ou his farm. The department makes the necessary experiments for thc farmer, saving him both time and money, and putting him that far ahead in thc game which his father had to learn all about for himself. A distinguished economist told me not \ UAKINO ENLAHGED DKAWISOS FIIOM LIFE. long ago that it wn.3 hardly possible to overestimate the good that the ex periment stations had . orked in thc business of farming. It was this statement that put me on my in quiry. These experiment stations, by j tile-way; rece.h? i?oncj''^fr?i? the , States-a little more . tai] half as | mucb ns they receive fpui the geri; eral Government, As is orbe expect ed, the farmers- at first enteifalned a very contemptuous idea oMV scien tists in charge of the statics, but they are now coming to dcpjirid upon them, and to go to them fo|: advice. Their confidence was first'g??ued by -.~f-~ An .der. oT Tile worn none ny tue vhole department and of its valne or its work is well done-may be ob aiued by an enumeration of some of he subjects which have been inves igated and on which publications lave been issued. The dlTision of .egetable physiology and pathology ins studied the disease of ?bade and ornamental : j trees, ind has instructed those ; who ilant and care for such trees ia the :auscs of and remedies for tie dis iases.

A gol deal of work is done inj investigatjg the character and conditions, hijuding the proper habitat, bf plants tat are not usually grown here. It hj thus been found that jura can profitily be raised In thc Southland flax oiPuget Sound. The department fud mes farmers with lnfoimatlon ns o the character of weeds'sent by tho foi identification, and |t issues winings to State experimeit stations 3d to local authorities ol the prosee of dangerous weeds ii their locales.

The v?ltte of the work of the forestry division can' not be overestimated. It has done much to rtimulatc a widespread iu tcrest in the subject of forest preser vation, and has accomplished an ad mirable work in decreasing the num ber of forest Ares. The department also instructs the farmer in the art of making good roads, and excites n desire for them by spreading abroad a knowledge of their great economic value to all who have heavy loads to haul to njarket or thc railway station: j uiitaricau- "^.,L intelli gent farmer in the world.

For all the work which this depart lent has done the government has ms far extended less than $32,000, 30. The first appropriation for the gricultural department was of $1000. ad was made in 1S39.

Australia, have begun the daily .routine of their career behind bars in $c Lincoln Park Zoo. They are the only two dingo dogs on the American ffohtlnent, and were shipped directly from Australia. Naturalists term thc dingo the klug of the dog family. While no larger than a medium-sized shepherd they are the terror of Australia .possess ing far more cunning than thc fox and being more destructive than the wolf. They have been considered In capable of domestication, but of late years several imtances are known where they have been tamed. Until recently the dingo was thought to be a domestic dog returned to the savage state, but in the latest researches of McCoy and Nehriug fossil remains of the canine have been found in the pliocene and, qunrternary strata of Victoria, which proves the animal to be a genuine wolf; Ho immigrated to Australia through the country uniting Australia and southeastern Asia at a certain pe.lod of the plio cene epoch. The dingo inhabits the plains and the dense forests of Australia. Like the fox, ne hides in the daytime and prowls at night, threatening all Aus tralian quadrupeds. He attacks every animal indigenous to Australia; his favorite prey being sheep and kan garoos. Prof. C. W. McCurren, head animal keeper, prizes the dogs as among the most valuable possessions of the zoo-Chicago Record. A M un ?o Catchen the Vile*.
