A Summer Wardrobe.

A correspondent describes the cos
tune worn by fashionable French Ia
dies at the watering places in their ma
tive land as follows
"To go to her baths she wears a per-
Gale wrapper, trimmed with English
embroidery, over which is thrown an
other longer and looser wrapper of blue
flannel, lined with white cashmere,
and she covers her head with Charlotte
Corday cap of embroidered cashmere
tied under the chin with blue ribbons.
Her breakfast toilette is blouse of
white cashmere, made with standing
collar and large side pockets, and trim
med with three rows of different widths
of silver braid. Her walking dress is
composed of skirt of steel gray glace
silk, with cOrsage and apron overskirt
of batiste striped white and gray, and
trimmed with narrow plaitings of ba-
tlste, showing the gray stripe only,
laid over wider plaitings of white mus
lin, edged with narrow lace. Large
buttons of gray mother-of pearl ca
notier hat, raised in front, trimmed at
the back with bunch of gray grapes
and bow of black velvet, and worn
with an immensely long veil of white
gauze, SO long, i'll fact, that it would
trail on the ground did not the fair
wearer carry it thrown over her arm.
Suspended at her side by a chain are
her large striped fan and gray sun
umbrella, lined with cherry colored
silk. Her toilette for the evening is
composed of skirt of pink gauze, with
narrow stripes, and narrow founces
trimmed with white plaitings and with
Mechlin lace. Vhe corsage and over
skirt are entirely of Mechlin insertion.
In her hair she wears a single rose,
with a great many leaves, and she car
ries pink-silk fan, with pearl sticks. y

WOman's Work.

There are wo woman suffrage Or
carnations in San Francisco, and a
Mrs. Wiggin is prominent IN one of
them. Recently Mrs. Wiggin told her
experience in the business of getting
married. She chose woman to do tho
business, and though some years had
passed since then the knot had never
slipped. A woman asked sarcasticaliy
if the woman knot-tyer was paid half
price for the job, but Mrs. Wiggin, in
her indignation ignoring the sex of her
questioner, replied, "No, sir. We paid
her $40 for the work, and / must say
it was one of the best jobs of the kind
[ have ever seem" The following, by
Mrs. Wiggin, is interesting:
81 went the other day to buy a ready
made dress. The male clerk showed
me several, and, finally selecting one,
[ asked him if he would show me the
forewoman's as ! wished to try il on.
He replied, "Well, the forewoman has
gone to lunch just now, but''--and here
he threw the dress over his arm If
you will come with me [ will fit it for
you"
"What !" says L, you fit the dress
for me? No, sir ! Let me ssk, do You
make it a practice to try on dresses and
fit them, and so on?" ''Why certainly, .
SAID he and l must do him justice to
say that he had the manliness to blush
here. "Why, a good many If our lady
customers won't have anybody but q
man to fit their dresses for them"
Now continued Mrs. Wiggin, it
is this I am contending for; drive those
lazy, effeminate, namby- PANTY dry
clerks out into the street, and give tneil
places to intelligent women. The idea
of man in such position selling
carriers and corset strings, bah!"

Dyerlying Pigs.

The New York Herald says: ga few
days since the writer called at a neigh
boris residence. who had a beautiful
Chester White SOW with three pigs
about six weeks old She brought forth
nine, but overlaid six of them. The
live pigs were worth five dollars each.
Hence there was a loss OF thirty dollars
simply because his foreman did not
understand how to prepare a suitable
bed for breeding SOW. A large guam
tity of straw had been allowed to accu-
mulate in her sleeping apartment, so
that she had formed deep hollow
about the size of her body. AS the
young pigs could not get out of such a
place, when the dam was about to lie
down, they were smothered. Our own
practice with brood sows has always
been to remove all the straw from a
sow's bed at least month prior to the
birth of her brood, and spread few
lunches of cut straw on the floor for
her to lie on. Young pigs will never
become entangled n such bed, neither
viii they get cornered so that the dam
Will overlay them. When pigs are
worth five dollars each it will pay the
proprietor to prepare a suitable bed for
the SOW. Long straw should never be
spread in brood sow's sleeping apart
ment, except when no pigs are ex-
pected.

eggs to supply the apparent deficiency
III the number usual when incubation
Is Is commenced. Under domestication,
the robbery of hens nests is carried on
: regularly and constantly, and the pro-
ductlon of eggs is stimulated at a great
rate. This is assisted by the abund-
ant supply of food at all seasons.
rood Is plenty with wild fowls
only during the breeding sea-
son, but man, by supplying plenty dur
ing winter, makes spring and summer
extend through the whole year. This
induces a habit of continuous LAYING
that becomes hereditary. This work of
breeding strains of fowls to be great
layers by gathering their eggs daily
was not performed with any conscious
purpose. The keepers took the eggs
because they were wanted, and carried
on this practice without knowing or
caring that the habits of the birds
would become permanently changed
thereby. This habit is perpetuated
unconsciously by most people who
keep fowls for use. The gude-wife. )"
when setting hen always selects the
eggs from hens that are good LAYERS
"Old Brownie is such good layer, I
like the breed" So old Brownies eggs
are saved for setting. The keeper, by
thus unconsciously selecting the eggs
for setting, goes on improving his
stock in this quality from year to year.
All these causes have been in opera
ton for thousands of years, for the
change from thirty or fifty eggs per
annum to five times that amount was
not accomplished in single one hun
dred years.
The writer thinks that the reason
why geese and ducks do not lay SO con-
tinHously or so abupdantly as hens, is
because they were migratory fowls, and
their breeding season is more limited
than that of the Jungle fowl, which is
constant resident. In the northern
regions where they rested the season
is short, and what was done, was done
quickly.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Feeding Sour Whey,

Several correspondents have recently
asked concerning the value of sourwhey
as food for mich cows, and the effect
OF the same upon the product made
from the milk. We believe sour whey
IS altogether unfit to feed 1t is not
merely worthless, it is worse than
worthless. By judicious mingling with
other food it may be restrained from
exercising a noticeably bad effect upon
the animal, but it Introduces into the
system an evil element, which passes
directly into the circulation, deposits
itself III the milk, and induces putre-
fact1ve conditions in the product. 1t is
fatal to good flavor in the cheese, and
makes what is called an open article
With good, sweet whey a different re-
suit might be expected, but with whey
from the factories, drawn from a whey
vat, which is stencil and a pestilence
to the neighborhood, and from whose
corrupt recesses there can come no
good thing; if this matter be fed to
COWS 1T can have none other than an
evil effect, and that continually. Such
patrons are ridiculously strenuous
about obtaining their full share from
the whey vat, SO much so that the
maker has to pump in water "to make
1T go round. " The beauty of this sys-
tenn is that the more water the patron
gets the less evil he draws home.
Everything about a COW should be
clean, sweet, and wholesome if the
best article is to be made from her
milk. This result cannot be obtained,
if the seething, sinking whey is intro
duced into her diet The old wisdom OF
figs from thistles holds good in this
matter as in other agricultural opera
tions. - JTcu HeruLd.

Useful Recipes.

SUMNER MINCE Pies. Two cups OF
sugar, one of molasses, one of vinegar,
one of butter, one of raisins, two eggs,
three Boston crackers, one cup of boil
ing water poured on the crackers, spices
to taste. This quantity makes two
large pies-and we think might give
one a first class Indigestion, but
"Young Housekeeper' says cts nice. .
BLACKBERRY PUDDING.-Makea crust
by wetting two cups of wheat meal and
one cup of fine corn meal, with boiled
rice enough to make paste that can
be rolled out one-third of an inch

blackberries with one-haif cup of wheat
meal. pour them into the rolled ont
crust, draw the latter over them and
pinch together, then sew up in a cloth
and steam one hour and half Let il
cool few minutes, then dish with &
spoon, and trim with sugar. Serve
warm.

Political Coinage.

Generally the heads, faces, and other
signs engraved Oh the coin of a country
indicate accurately what is the form of
government and who is the ruler of that
country. The most recent exception to
that rule happened at the time whe,
Napoleon l., distOrting to his profit the
meaning of the Latin word inperator,
coined money before his official coming
to the imperial throne bearing on one
side French Republic" and on the
other "Napoleon, Emperor But a
return to the old practice has Just been
applied by the Emir of Kashgar, who,
after having managedto carve avery re-
spectacle sized Kingdom out of Central
Asia, at the expense of his Chinese
neighbors, felt it necessary to make an
other advance in the way of Independent
authority. According to recent intel
hgence, it appears that he now coins
money In the name of the Sultan of
Turkey. 1t might, perhaps, be asked
why he should not do this III his own
name instead of in that of a foreign
pOtentate. In order to understand the
mOtive of this yicarious proceeding,
some little explanation is necessary.
The situation of the Kashgerian chief
is somewhat like that of a Norman
Rover in the eleventh century, seeking
a Papal sanction for the realm he had
founded The Sultan is regarded by
all true believers as the representative
of the Califs, to whom Mahomet dele
gated religious supremacy. 1t was,
Therefore, natural that the new Emir
should seek a religious sanction for the
! l. l. L
bassy to Constantinople to obtain from
the Commander OF the Faithful the I'll
tie of Amer, and hence also his recent
polite act of coming money in the name
of the head Of the Mohametan creed.

NALN Hons Lay 80 MmCl..

The Poultry World has lately pub
lished several articles on Selection IN
Breeding from one of which we con
pense the following on the above sub
iect:
In their natural state all birds lay a
limited number of eggs, usually Just
rs many rs the hen can entirely cover
during incubation Those birds that
rear more than one brood during the
year, being no more liable to accidents
than single brooded birds, rear the
most young, consequently this variety
would predominant. Now when the
Jungle fowl was brought into domesti-
cation, III addition to its wild habits OF
laying fifteen eggs and then sitting, 1t
is made to increase the number of eggs
beyond fit cen, by taking advantage OF

dents by removing the eggs as fast as
laid, leaving enough IN the nest to pre-
vent its abandonment. The hen nat
urally is forced to lay a few additional

How TO Kill POIaIO RnRn.

A correspondent of the Rural World
says: [ will tell potato growers how |
managed the potato bug last year with
success. They came into my potatoes
from the west in greatnumbers indeed
they were SO thick that it seemed i'm
possible for all to get nip at the dele
ious plants. [ am naturally a coward,
but will fight when necessity demands
1t, and went to work on the insOlvent
invaders in the following manner !
procured some long straw and a match,
and commenced in front of them by
setting fire to the straw at one end,
taking hold OF the other and dragging
1t between the rows the wind being in
the east blew the blaze among the
vines and not a part of them was I'M
touched. L never saw an army thrown
into such confusion. They found they
had assaulted the wrong enemy, and
retreated very disorderly. Some arose
into the air, others went on foot but
as | came back in the other row they
were overtaken and received another
volly of fire and smoke. Thus [ con-
tinued until | had gone over the whole
patch, and it was great satisfaction
wien walked over tne DaCtle ground
an hour later to find the dead and
wounded lying there thicaly, deserted
by their comrades, who, through fear,
did not wait to bid farewell nor give a
decent burial. The objects of my pride
were left unhurt-the bugs ever after
considering that forbidden soil-and a
good crop was the result. Let him
who doubts try the experiment, being
careful to pass quick enough to save
the potatoes from scorching, and slow
enough to scare the bugs, which is
known by their letting go their hold
and skedaddling.

MukiIIU Hay.

1t is rather late in the season to dis
cuss hay-making, but we find in the
Country Gentleman an article on the
subject SO judicious and practical that
1t IS always In order. We quote the
concluding portion:
Many years personal experience
has convinced us that hay can be made
faster, N better condition, and in much
greater exemption from loss by vicissi-
fudoS Of the weather, if moved when
the grass Is dry, raked as soon as thor
oaghly wilted, cooked up III small
cocks, left until cured through, even if
1T takes week, and then drawn directly
IRON the cock, without opening out Ut
takes no longer to rake the hay with a
good hOrse-rake, and The time spent in
cooking up Is saved in the more rapid
rate at which the hay can be (and Isl
drawn IN. When drawn directly from
the cock, the hay IS pressed down into
flat layers, easily loaded, and readily
and rapidly pitched off; two men and
Il team easily drawing double the num-
Der of loads in day from the cock that
they would do from the windrow when
as dry as hay is usually drawn. By
this method of curing hay, none is ex-
y
or dews, except Just long enough to
wilt the grass. No half dried and nearly
dried hay gets caught in sudden
shower, spelling the color and the quail
ity; and the farmer is always up with
his work. In hot, dry weather, such as
often prevails at this season, the cocks
viii cure through in two or three days,
while cool showery weather will delay
the process Il week or more. Occasion
ally very heavy shower will wet the
cocks through 50 thoroughly that it will
he necessary to turn them over TO the
wind u while before drawing in. In
this case the hay Is much less injured
than if it had lain spread out during
the shower When the hay is cooked
mp as soon as wilted, it packs together
SO closely that the cocks are seldom
overturned by the wind, or wet through
Dy shower.
An Intelligent farmer will soon be
able to decide when the cocks are cured
sufficiently to be put into the bay or
stack without any danger from heating,
and yet the hay will actually feel damp
10 the hand when first pitched from the
cock. The airing it gets during the
handling, superadded to the sweating
in the cock, removes all danger Of in
jury in the NOV. The hay will come
out In the winter of the same color as
when put into the cock, although it
may look more or less yellow when it
is drawn Two men, with team and
tools, will cut and get in twenty acres,
if all is cooked and drawn IN this way,
in about the same time that two others
would get in sixteen acres, If dried III
the field and drawn from the windrow.
In addition, if driving in the shade is
of any value, all that can be done III
this direction will also have been done.
There are many dairy and stock farmers
in this state at the present time that
never draw a load of hay from the
windrow. Judging from the general
appearance of their stock In the spring,
they have fed only the best, and plenty
of it. Their experience justities the
rule in making hay that it must be t
early and cured in the shade.

ZOuayeS.

In my account of the review held by
Marshal MacMahon last month [ re-
marked on the absence of the ZOuaves.
| was not then aware that there were no
longer any in France. Since the war
they have returned to their original
duties. which were those of colonial
troops. The Empire imported them
into France as it did the Turcos-those
Sepoys of Algeria. When those corps
were introduced into the imperial guard
it became necessary to have reserves TO
keep up their strength, and so line regi-
ments of Iouaves were brought into
French garrisons To serve as a nursery
war did good deal to dissipate the ex-
aggerated prestige of those semi Orieu-
tai troops. As for the Turcos, after
Forbach and Woerth they were reduced
to handful Their European drill and
discipline made them formidable to the
Arabs, and their desperate valor and fe-
rocity rendered them ugly opponentse even
to regular soldiers. But their value
was greatly diminished by the introduce
ton of long-range rifles. Excellent
skirmishers, their cat-like agility and
speed and ferocious onset also made
them terrible in a bayonet attack when,
regardless of death, they charged home
to break line or square. But when
such charges had to be made upon
troops carrying rifles that kill at a
thousand yards, and fire six times in a
minute, the chief utility of the half. saw
age Turcos was gone. 1t is unlikely
that either he or the Zouaves will again
be seen figuring In IA European war
