A RAINY DAY I¥ WASHINGTON Pyrotechnics and Patriotism’ Damp- ened by the Downfall. AN INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT. Benator Cullom Thinks That is the Way to Settle the Trouble With Oanadian Rallroads—A 518 FouRTERNTI Wasmiarox, D, C., July 4. This has been an exceptionally dull day in Washington. Not only were tho executive departments closed, but the chicfs were all or nearly all out of town., Secretary Rusk was the only one seen on the streots, and he A1d not remain in sight long, The continuous down-pour of rain throughout the day kept every one within doors, and even the excur- slons were but slimly patron There was nothing whatever in the way of a general velebration of the day, even the displays of fireworks this cvening are very slim and meagre. The rain coased about 4 o'clock, but the ardor of the residents secms to have dampened, and Washington in conseguenco shows fewer sims of celebration than per- haps any other town in the country. HALFORD RETURNS, Private secretary Halford was the first of the presidential party to return to the city. He accompanied the ladies of the execative household to Deer Park and returned this afternoon. He has plenty of work to keep him occupied until the return of his chief, and will be busy preparing papers filed for General Harrison's perusal until the presi- dent returns next woek, 1t is expected that the president will make but a very brief stay 1n Washington on his way back from Wooodstock, but that he will proceed at onco tojoin Mrs. Harrison and the other members of the family at their mountain retreat just 08 s00n after his return here as possible, A RAILIOAD PROLEM, Senators Blair, Hiscock, Cullom, Reagan and Harns, of the senate ‘sub-committee on inter-state ' commorce, meet in Boston to- morrow to continue the investigation of the relations of the railroads as affected by the inter-state commerce law. The firsu heaving will be given in the morning in the rooms of tho state raiiroad commission, and among those who will bo heard will be Mr. J. P. Kimball, the trafic manager of the Unlon Pacific, whom President Adams promised the commission in New York he would bring beforo them. Tho commission is consider- ing the question whether the transconti- nentai lines are suffering a loss of business through the operation of the iuter-state law, which 1s being diverted to Canadian railrouds, and if so, whether any legislation can beenacted to prevent it. They will be willing to hear also, Senator Cullom says, evidence bearing on the propriety of asses ing Canadian cars and of only bonding the Canadian Pacific railway to carry gooas in the United States. The few and obscure Jaws governing theso subjects, tho -senator thinks, neea to be overhauted, and he 18 will- ing to zet all the light possibie. Senator Cul- lutn says it would be improper for i to ex- press an obinion on the gencral question be- foro the committee has concluded 1ts gation, but the evidenco presented thus far 'has not ndicated that we have suffered much from Canadian P competition. ent Vanhorne, Canadian_Pacific, testified before the com- mittee in New Yorl that 1y complying with the inters business over American hnes, ‘The Ameri- can _railroad managers deny this and say further that the Canadian railrond makes exceedingly low through rates and re- coups ov its local traffic. The diMiculty ap- Dears to be as much with the pooling arrange ment between the differout trans-continental lines s with the laws. Senator Cullom be- lieves that it may bo possible to sccure an in- ternationai agrceement with the Canadian authorities by which they will govern their roads in the same way thut we do ours, A TAUNTED HOUSE. Secretary Rusk is in a peck of trouble. Soon after he came to Washington he and Mrs. Rusk started out to hunt a house. After searching for three monzhs they finally found one that suited. It is a handsome three-story house on Massachusetts avenue, with a fountain in front and surrounded by a wilderness of roses and shrubbery tho sort of place in fact for Uncle Jerty his charming family; that is, it would bo but for one unfortunaté drawback. Bob Lincoln, the present minister to Knglund, lived in the nouse when he was secrotary of war and more recently it was occupied by General Morgan L. Smith. Mr. Smith died there under very peculine and distressing circumstances. He was found drowned in the bath room. Since then the houso has not been occupied, and the superstitious negro servants in the neighborhood tell hair- raising storics about the mysterious noises that come from the house in the still nours of the mght. Somo evil disposed person has told Mrs, Rusk some weird tales of how the old general's ghost stalls through the descried apart- meuts and of the mufiled cries for belp that sometimes come from the bath room, and now Uncle Jerry’s wife has put her ' foot down and deciares that nothing can induce her to live in o house that is haunted. WaSHINGTON BUnEav, Tre OMana Bre. } A OQostly Sombrero. Colonel George W. Adair, of Atlanta, Ga., has asombrero which cost him $6,000. The only ornamentation about it is a cord of gold braid wrapped around the crown. Yems ago the colonel bought & copper mine in Mexico, for which he paid $6,000 in cash. He left his home and went to the land of the greasers to show them how to make money out of a copper mine. He bought the sombrero and a big puir of boots to wenr while bossing the workmen dig- ging out the ore. The mine had been pretty well salted, or something else was the matter with it, for it yielded no money: and Colonel Adair, after some time spent in losing money on it, was glad enough to leave it and return to Atlanta. The boots huve long since worn out, and all the colonel has to show for his §6,000 is the old Mexican »om- brero. A A Raro Bird. The London Natural History museum has succeeded in obtaining a rare bird, This is a specimen of the {regilupus,the extinet bird of the island of Reunion, It formed a part of and was the chief ireasure tn the great collection at Vetry-la-Ville, which had been amassed by the Counts du Ricour during vhree generations, and of which the vest and most valuable specimens have now, to- gemcr with the fregilupus, found their to the DBritish museum in Crom- we 1 road. The extinct bird is of the starling family, yeliow-billed, yellow- legged, with a crest-like adornment. e Ignoranco in Russia, According to the latest educational rt—1884— only 1,466,918 of 15,000, children in the Russian empire at- trnded schools, About 90 per cent therefore, of young Russia receive no instruction at all. In sixty govern- ments there is only one school for sec- ondary instruction to every 15,000 boys and 22000 girls. Only 63 per cent of the boyi of any age toattend a uubhu high school can be accommodated. Ko girls the number of such schools is uven more insignificant,’ The schoolmaster cannot be said to be abroad in Russia yot. re——— The World-Old Question.

A PROCESSION IN WHITE ROBES Gossip in the Steam Rooms—The Vig- orous Girl Attendants—A Young Bride the Belle of the Bath. Where the Mermaids Meet. The ladies’ favorite hour for bathing in Washington’s turkish bath is trom 10 to 2, before the grand promenade on the avenue, the drive in the Soldiers’ home grounds, the matinee, or the fashionable calling dress-parade of the afternoon, and between those hours they may be scen trooping into the baths. All sorts of women may be found there, says o writer in the Washington Star. Fat women go to get thin, and thin women to get fat. Plain women go with an 1ndefinite hope that it wiil make them beautiful, and beautiful 2o in order 1 preserve their beauty; sick women go to get well, old women go to_look young, tired women to feel rested, and misanthropic, billious, sal- Low, malarial women to get their com- plexions and dispositions cleared up; stylish women go because it is fashion- able; dainty women because it is luxur- ious and sweet; wholesome, ordinary women go from a laudable ambition to be clean in the fullest sense of the world, They come in carriages and on foot; they come with their maids in at- tendance; they come chatteving along in vai and they come tripping in alone; they come in the daintiest of toilets—all shimmer and dazzle and perfume, with stylish coiffures and pic- turesque arrangements of gauzo and flowers framing their protty faces, and they disappear in the dressing-rooms, and presently reappear elothed ouly in diamonds and sheets, with their hair, be it spar: , hanging o their shoulders. e is a little G play of womanly vanity and taste even in the arrangement of the long white wrappings that envelop vhem, for while some women muffle themselves up awk- wardly and clumsily and trip over the trailing corners, other throw the white draperies in classic folds about their form, guthering them up in one hand away from the bare white ankles. The attendants present the most pic- turesque appearance. Theso girls are beautiful in form, and their skin is as soft to the touch as that of a baby’s; not an ounce of superfluous flesh encumbers them; not an outline of bone or joint mars the roundness of shoulders and lhinbs. They seldom know di of any kind, YD splendid speeimens of al strength and symmetry. Their hands are never exposed to any other kind of work, and are soft as velvet, supple, firm and exquisite in touch. g-clad apparitions it along the corridors leading to the bath- rooms, and after them scurry the white and muflled white figures of the bathers, who seat themselves about the heated rooms i ained silence, like the first arrivals at a wedding feast. There is the nervous woman, who comes flymg 1n with a little bottle of smelling-salts, and sits anxiously on the edge of the chair, exclaimi that she knows that she never can stand the baths; that the doctor ordered them, and she knows she hasn’t strength to "endure them, und she calls for an attendant to tell her all about it, and interrogates her neighbor to know if she isn’t getting pale, as though even a corpse could bo pale in a room at that temperature. Then there is the t tive woman, who has a little bit of rheumatism or neuralgia in such a peculiar place, under her shoulder somewhere, and she tells all the other women about it, entering into minute details with de- lightful eagerness just what the doctor said, and what all the old ladies said, ete., ete., ad infinitum, Then there is the fussy woman, who exclaims about the heat, and says she 15 all burning up, and is sure something is wrong, and wants a drink, and wants a handkerchief, and is sure something is wrong,and wants a handkerchief, and wants her head-cooler, asks half a hundred questions, and finally fidgets herself into a fever. The shy little newcomer over in; heg corner, demurely wrapped up to her. chin, even her hands tucked out of sight, smiles softly at the scene and wonders if the freckles across her nose will melt off. The habitues of the place lean back, leisurely dreaming of thre» conquests, their last souvenir nights triumphs and floral ovations, or their latest and dea lovers, while their bangs slowly straighten out, and the porspiration meditatively drips off their mnose One ~ slender, haadsome woman, with a heavy mass of dark hair tossed over the buck of the ¢hair, one fair white arm outlined against its shadow above her head, the sheet falling from her faultless shoul- der and bust, sits with her beautiful dreamy eyes full of soft splendor, all unconscious of the perfect picture she is making 1n the white drapery through which her form is outlined, THE PLUNGE. From the bot room they are rushed across the corridor to the steam bath, where, on the marble seats the protty bathers sit in various graceful attitudes with bare arms and shoulders. One of them flies up suddenly and goes to the plunge. Sho puts one white foot in and dvaws it back with a little shiver and screums; then she tries the oth toot, another little squeal; the stout at- tendant catehes her suddenly about the st, and away they go laighing and together. The girl comes g and frightened, but plucky and they try it once more, the at- tendunt” endeavoring to teach her the stroke in swimming. After countless attewpts, which inevitably end in fail- ure, sho ‘abandons the iden, and only tries to float: but even this isin vain, for ns s0on as she experiences the sen- sation incident to fNoating, down goes her head, because she opens her mouth to give the funny little scream that is the voice of most women’s sensations. The attendant puts an end to her fears by hurrying her away to the drying room, Suddenly a mammoth woman 3s filled with ambition, and she plunges her generous proportions into the tank. Tho water splashes to the brim. Up and down the tank she swims and floats, while the water beats against the sides of the tank in swift recoil, like the wave on the seashore. Then, climbing upon the steps, puff- ing and' blowing, she flings herself into the water with a splash that sends it flying over the railing, and wakes all the pretiy girls jump and ivstinctively dip down to ull their skirts out of the way, after ti mauver of women, but finding only A damp sheets, they smile, THE BRIDE, “'Georgia, Georgia, go and attend to your bride,” whispered the manager, Now, the bride was, as a matter of course, the prettiest girl in the place with big brown eves Hashing under & tangle of yellow hair that fell over faultless dimpled shoulders down to her waist; but the prettiest thing about her 1 .baths was handed into a ca was her dainty litt white and dimpletl} and as faultless “fh shape as those of a carpon, venus. Few women have pretty [daf, and around the room was a large collection of diver- kinds of pedal extremitios, large and small, long and short, with distorted toes and enlarged joints, but her's wore faultless in form and &S delicate in oring ns the inside of a_soa shell. She was laid out on a marble slab, rubbed and scoured, held uinder a shower bath, up to which she lifted her pretty face like a flower to the sunshine, and then wrapped up in a bagh blanket and laid out on ono of the little couches, her hdlr brushed and spread out like & Jmass of gold over the pillow, with one round, pinky, white arm outside the blanket, the clasped hands under her cheek, while the soft, dreamy eyes, half hidden by the white folicious languor, grew dark wi h tenderness. The women all came out of the shower bath with hysterical little screams and gasps and funny feminine little excla- mations. They are rubbed dry by the attondants, ang then wrap themselves in a sheet and hurry to the easy couches. IN THE DN ING ROOMS « women were chatting, eating rolls and drinking chocolate and coffee, and shouting for the attendants in impa- tient tones, while their maids waited outside the door to dress them. In the the double rooms friends were discus- sing the usual voxing question, which agitate the fominine mind—dress, bon- net, servants and husband “But I don’t want hel was the ex- clamation of a fidgety old maid, which was heard all over the bath. *‘T won’t have her. She hasn't treated me right. T sent her special word that I would be ready at 12 o'clock, and she has kept me waiting half an hour. I won’t stand such _troatment from any one, and— But she was torn off, still sput- tering, by the patient attendants. “Does she come here often?” a year; but that is often enough, for she is such a fidget. She didn’t come until 12 o’clock, as usual, the busiest hour in the day,and she wants more attention than two women need.’ “Are many women exactly like that?” “Plenty of them. Some women want the world, you know, and every one in on them; but they don’t get it all alike. We rive them eac h tlm ulelen in here they need. and no mor “How often do women take the bath?” “Regular customers come once a week, twi o week, and sometimes every other day. All kinds of people come, of course, but the department ladies and invalids come oftenest. Of course, many wealthy and society ladies come, too, because they enjoy this buxury which thoy cun not have at their own homes. The Turkish bath is a great boon to those ladies confined to their desks all day, and thoy kuow it and appreciate it THE BELL OF THE BATIH. While the conversation was going on the pretty bride had arbused from her sweet ind wasarraying herself in the daintiest of'habiliments. Over the pink and white feet were fitted. stockings of silk, and around the plump shouiders w ilken vest, toned wi The cor- pale flossed and & with whi e biue surrah, frilled with the perfumed linguerie as fine as a baby’s christening robe, edged with © frost, the rustling white skiv! s of lace, and overitall a wonderful mbination of harmonious blending, shades of green in dress and bonnet, She litted, and looking like a pink dnd white sweet all a-dnzzic from 't fluffy coil of her yellow hair to the hem of her shim- mering gown.

It is a fact that young pigs are often over fed and hurt, sometimes killed by overfeeding, says the Indiana Farmer. When they begin feeding it is impor- tant that they be properly fed. Their tuture vitality depends upon this. One writing upon this subject s: They should never have all they will eat. Ouly fattening swine should be so fed, and they would soon die from overfeed- ing if they were not killed. When a young pig chokes at the trough, squeals and falls over in a fit, it is overfed, when it goes to the side of the stall, champs its jaws, foams at the mouth, and does nothing else than this it has been overfed, and in both s it is suffering from congestion of the brain, due to indigestion and disturbed circu- lation. It is in a state of apoplexy and will probably die anyhow, but the oth- ers may be saved by at once reducing their feed about one-fourth of what they have been getting. The prevalent pare limbs 13 caused by overfeeding by which the kidreys have been overtaxed and the nervous system of the lumbar re- gion (the lons) is disturbed. The power of ‘motion of the hind legs is lost. Recent experiments in feeding young pigs go to show that a pig of forty pounds needs no more feed per duy e Rl T (Y2 RN RN of solid food, such as bran or oats and corn meal, On this allowance, gradu- ally increased, while two others kept 1n apen by themselves, became stunted, stopped growing and ‘in the third week one was attacked by congestion of the brain and had to be starved out of it, losing fully two months’ growth. When young pigs are weaned, they should ho fea in a shallow twu"h. from which they can take their food only very slowly. Clover Insacts, The clover seed’ midge is a small, orauge, footless lavys, infesting the heads and destroying the embryo seeds, says a bullatin® of Ohio experiment station. It hatches frém eggs laid by a very small mosquitp-like fly. It is two-orooded. There are three methods venting the injuries from this in- oot pest. ‘The fivst is cutting the hay ten days earlier thap usual, 50 as to pre- vent the development of the first brood of midges. The chief pbjection to this is that the hay is too groen to cure well. When it can be uséd in the silo this objection will™ be obviated. The second is tarhihg cattle into the clover flelds after the crops have made a good start in spring. The cattle eat the blossom heads, con- taining the egg or young, and so the lmm are destroyed. The third method s that originating with Mr, John War- Lodi, Medina county, Ohio, wh ch consists of running the mower through the field about the middle of May, leaving the product on the ground as mulch or fertilizer. There then de- velopes a vigorous crop of clover blos- soms, which comes between the regular crops, and also betweeu the two broods of the midge, thus escaping attack. The clover root borer isa whitish larva, boring out the roots of clover, weakening the plant and preventing the development of blossoms, Where this insect has become established, the only remedy soems® tobe frequent rota- tion. Prof, I. P. Roberts says of this practice in New York state, whero the ‘\cit is abundan “In central New Cork of late yenrs wo mow the soeded land but once, and pasture in the fall the abundant second growth. Since 1878 the clover root borer has worked upon the clover to such an extent that it invariably fails the second year, This Las caused us to change from a five to four-year rotation, viz: hay, corn, oats and wheat.” Breed Hornless Oattle. Depression in all trades come in the nature of events. As certain as the high way follows the low, so certain do high prices follow low beef markets, saysthe Nebraska Farmer. Four times in the last twenty years have high prices followed low ones. Weo are now at low tide; the high tide must follow. Men have not ceased to eat meat. While the cows and calves have been markoted in the past three or four years, thoe re- sult 18 just beginuing to be felt. He who produces & good beef animal for the futu ill reap his roward. Saws aro expensive and cruel. Why not adopt the common sense plan, buy a Gatloway bull and produce a hornless animal, thus producing better beef and preventing all cruelty? ‘The Profits of Creameries, ‘We have kept track, as well as practi- cable, of the work done in creameries in this part of the State, and find that although their business has been large, especially the separate milk feature of it, that the falling markets have cut down profits at a rate never before known, says the Waverly (Ia.) Republican. Stock creameries are now run on a very close margin because of the multitude of “farmers” creameries, which are co- operative in their workings—some of them being owned and managed by the farmers, and others owned and mark- eted for a stipulated price per pound. Creamery butter is now the lowest ever known. We have heard of less being paid for cream than at present, but the margin was greater then. About 11 cents seems tobe about the a: erage price now for cream, and 1t has been known to go down to 10 cents, buu the price of crenmery butter has never, to our knowledge, been as low as at present, The reason is—look at the political papers for reasons, and believe the ones that please your tastes best. Spraying kruit. After having experimented with spraying grape vines, apple, pear,plum, cherry and quince trees, Iam fully con- vinced that a little time cannot be em- ployed to greater profit to the fruit grower than that spent in spraying all Kkinds of fruit trees with arsanical pois- ons, writes a_correspondent of Popular Gardening. Ilike London purple, as it stays in solution best, and 1 will here say, there is more danger in gelting the solution too strong thun not strong enough. One pound of London purple is suffi- cient for 200 gallons of water, for ap- ples; for plums fifty gallons moro of water should be added. The experience of others seem to correspond with my own, and proves_thut spraying not only heads off the Codling moth, but appears to destroy the fungus which produces the scab, or black spots on the surface of the apples or pears. It is also sure destruction to the slug., which1s often destructive to the leaf of the pear,plum, cherry and quince. or'the apple, pear and quince the ving should be done very soon after som drops,and if thoroughly dorie, and no heavy rain immediately follows, it will be found effectual, al- Lhnugh it will pay to repeat the applica tion ubout ten days later. ~ Plums and che should ba sprayed once before the blossoms begin to fall, »nd followed up once a weel for six weeks. Of a large crop of penrs we raised the last season, and sprayed as above, we had none wormy or seabhy,and no worms in our cherries.

For more than four years untold agony, reduced almost to a skeleton, and Dad strength to drag myself ‘abont. kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could bo digested at all. Within the time mentioned several hysicians treated moe without giving re- jol. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good until T commenced tho use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results, Soon after commencing to take the Sarsapas rilla T could see an improvement in my condition. My appetite began to roturn and with it came the ability to digest all the food ‘taken, my" sttength im. proved each day, and after a few months of faithful attention to your directions, I found iyself a ‘well woman, able to attend to all household duties. ' The medicine has given mo & new lease of life.” Ryer's Sarsaparilla, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C.
