CROP BULLETIN.
WEATHER REPORT FROM THE AGRICUL¬
TURAL DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON.
The weather crop bulletin for week
ending June 14th, says: Reports from
the gulf and south Atlantic states indi¬
cate that the weather conditions have
been favorable for the cotton crop, and
in the eastern fwrtion of this rqgiou, in¬
cluding South Carolina, there is an in¬
creased acreage, and prospects were never
better for an abundant yield. In the
central portion of the cotton region, in¬
cluding the lower Mississippi valley, the
crop is late and grassy, and prospects are
that the crop will be below the average.
Iu the west gulf, including Texas and
Arkansas, excessive rains have retarded
farm w-ork, but the cotton crop in those
states is in good condition, and although
late, the plant is healthy and free from
insects, with indications of an increased
yield over that of last year.

times.

fact in the summer wardrobe of many
women.

sible bonnets, young girls the largest hats
they can find.
Little pads are used to support the top
of fur sleeves made up of the softest
woolen goods.
Bonnets are stringless, or they have
mere strips for strings—but strings, like
veils, are optional.
The tendency to showy flower-laden
hats is so great as to tax the milliners to
supply the demand.
Black Leghorn hats trimmed with a
wreath of buttercups or daisies are worn
by the smallest girls.
Velvet form3 a part of many or most
summer hats and bonnets, or it trims
them, mingled with flowers.

pet dogs in the choicest of floral blooms
when taken out for an airing.

The embroidered nainsook gown is as
much in demand this summer as last for
girl graduates and commencement wear.
A "plaiting of black lawn underneath
the hem of the skirt, so that it cannot he
seen, is a great protection to a walking
dress.
Of the more than 4000 studente who
have joined the volunteer movement for
foreign missions about one-quarter are

The money annually spent for cosme¬
tics by the women of this country would

given to the British Royal Academy stu¬
dents have been taken by women, and a

A wonderful pin to be stuck in an
evening bodice is the fac-simile of a hand
mirror. The glass part is formed of that
very unusual stone, a flat diamond. It
ia framed in tiny diamonds, and the
handle is of diamonds a little larger. So
clear is the large one that forms the glass
that one could, with perfect success, put
% minature photograph under it, and it
would he exactly as if a face were re-
arasented.

A Findlay, Ohio, special everybody says that that at 2:30 city
Saturday morning in
was awakened by a tremendous shock
that rocked every building, and breaking
windows in many places. It was found
to be the explosion of Casteerline & Co.’i
nitro-glycerine works, situated four miles
east of the city. A hole was made in the
ground large enough to take in a four-
story business block, while the factory,
reduced to kindling wood, is scattered
for a mile in every direction. No one
was in or about the works, hence no lose
of life. Five tons of nitro-glycerine went
up. No estimate of the loss is yet oh-
tainable. Specials from all points in
northwestern Ohio show that the shock
was felt for over iorty miles in every di¬
rection and was generally attributed to
an earthquake.
