Fashion Notes,

Very wide scarfs of India muslin
edged with plaitings and insertions OF
real Valenciennes lace are imported.
Foulard silk edged with lace makes
very pretty and becoming morning caps.
Handkerohiefs and neckerchiefs are
often made to correspond.
The brightest shades of turkey red,
old gold, heliotrope and peacock blue
are used as Innings, bands and facings
on street dresses. Too lavish a use OF
these colors, however, renders the
wearer very conspicuous.
The prettiest inexpensive wash
dresses are made at home, as the taste
of a large proportion of American ladies
is utterly misunderstood by the manu-
facturers of ready.made garments.
Ostrich tips trim more round hats
than artificial flowers do, but red cur
rants, gooseberries, and other summer
small fruits are the favorite garnitures
of hats and bonnets of ceremony.
Mountain and country fatigue suits
are made of light flannel stuffs, in kilt
and blouse style, with scarf sashes of
the same, embroidered at the ends with
Kensington stitch in bright woods, the
larger sailor collars and deep cuffs hav-
ing the same ornamentation.
For elderly ladies black French lace or
else Breton is used for trimming morn
ing robes, and more quaint colors are
selected in the foulard.
Square linen cuffs, or else those made
of two folds of the linen, are trimmed to
match with embroidery, and are then
worn outside the sleeves.
Sheer linen is being made into large
~collarettes, almost as broad as a fchu,
and edged with lace or embroidery.
They are round at the back and are
pointed low in front, being quite open
at the throat.
Sometimes instead of a regular guimpe
q large three corner neckerchief is worn
with low-throated dresses. 1t is mace
of red or blue Surah, finished with a
broad hem, and is tied loosely in sailor
fashion.
The foulards, lawns and percales, are
often imported with borders along the
selvedge, and when this is not the case
some striped material can be used in-
stead, or else the border is of a plain
solid color.

COOKED CABBAGE.-Cut fine as for
raw; put into a kettle and add water to
cook until tender; then add one-half cup
o fsweet cream; one.half cup of vinegar,
in which mix one tablespoonful of flour;
season with pepper and salt to suit the
taste; let it boil up and serve.
COOKING CHICKENs.-A new way OF
cooking chickens is to parboil them and
then drop them into hot lard, a la dough-
nuts, and fry a few minutes. This will
serve to make variety in the bill of fare,
but will not wholly take the place of the
favorite method of browning in butter.
Nice gravy may be made by adding milk
and flour tothe butter in which chickens
have been fried.
SNAPs.-Take one cup of molasses,
three-quarters of a cup of sugar, one
tablespoon each of powdered cloves,
cinnamon and allSpice. Add these to
one-haIf cup of melted butter and beat
in two teaspoons soda, and -four enough
to roll. Roll very thin, cut out with a
tin cutter and bake in pans in a hot
oven.
RICE MUFFNs Boil the rice soft and
dry. Take one-half cup of rice, stir in
three spoonfuls sugar, piece of butter
size of an egg, and a little salt. One
pint sweet milk, one cup yeast, two
quarts flour. Let it rise all night. II
sour in the morning add a little soda
dissolved in milk, and Bake in muffin.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Farm and GARDEN Notes.

Farm and GATdUn Notes,
Cows and cattle at pasture need more
salt than on dry hay.
Never water a horse directly after
feeding, especially if he is fed on corn.
If any one desires a plant which will
bloom through the winter, with no
cessation, nothing will give greater
satisfaction than the double pink De-
tunia.
To allow a cow to fall off in flesh
while giving milk for butter-making is
a serious mistake, which can be easily
detected by the expert when the butter
is placed upon the market.
Bonedust is highly appreciated by the
English as a fertilizer. They import
large quantities of bones from Austria,
and whatever substance contains phos-
phate is earnestly sought for enriching
the soil.
AS a rule the size of the seed will in
dictate the depth TO plant it, starting
with the smallest at one.half of an inch,
such as celery, p~arsnips, ETC., while
peas and beans may be put mi and a
half inches deep.
A correspondent of the Rural MeSSen-
ger has had good results from the appli-
cation of lime, wood ashes and old iron
put around the roots of fruit trees that
were not doing well, thus restoring the
trees to a healthy condition and improv-
ing the quality Of the fruit.
A correspondent of the Rural NeW
Yorker stops a COW or steer from jump
ing over fences by mailing a horseshoe
on one forward foot. This prevents the
hoof from spreading. and consequently
renders the animal unable to spring.
This is calculated to be very efectual.
No Chinese farmer ever sows a seed
of any kind of grain before it has been
soaked in liquid manure diluted with
water, and has begun to terminate; and
experience has taught him that this
operation not only tends to promote the
growth and development of the plant,
but also to protect the seed from the
insects hidden in the ground.
A writer in the Practical Farmer gives
the results of experience in saving
flower seeds. No general rule can be
laid down, each sort requiring special
treatment. Pansy seeds must be saved
while they are quite green, as the pods
burst as soon as they turn yellow,
throwing the seed several feet. Plants
of phlox are pulled up when a fair
amount of the seed is ripe, and spread
on large sheets in a warm garnet. On a
small scale manipulating may do. Pc.
tunia and portulaca are treated in the
same way, except that the portulaca
plants are cut off, and they grow up
again for another crop. Verbenas must
be hand-picked twice a week Tor several
weeks.

The connection between the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans has been for
years a subject of interest to the Ameri-
can people, and Ii which has con-
stantly attracted the attention Of scien-
tiic men and capitalists, but which, up
to this time, has bafled all attempts to
Join the oceans. The three large under
takings in this particular are now
making fine Roadway, if those who have
them in charge are to be believed. On
the contrary, however, equally as dis.
~couraging reports are given by the OPP
posing lines, and one is at a loss to know
what to believe concerning the success
or failure of the different enterprises, so
defamatory are the reports each makes
of the other. First in magnitude OF
difficulties is the Panama cana, the pet
of De Lesseps, which requires forty
miles of cutting through the hardest
hills in the world. Then up in Central
America is the Nicaraguan undertaking,
by which it is proposed to dig a canal
from Greytown, on the gulf coast. to
Lake Nicaragua, and then from the lake
to the Pacific coast. The third enter
prise is the Tehuantepec i%nterocean
railroad, to be built by American CAPT
talists under a grant from the Mexican
government. This route extends from
C~oatzacoalcas, on the gulf side, to the
harbor OF Tehuantepec opposite.

A woman invented copper nails for

A sermonette OH weeds.

All weeds should be cut, gathered up

have gone to seed they should now be
burned, and not 60 into the manure

Produce Good NIiIkera,

Extra mixers should be kept TO breed
from, their milking qualities alone en-.
titling them to this preference. 1t is
quite as necessary to raise the calves Of
good mixers, in order TO have another
race of good mixers, as it is to raise the
colts of good trotters in order TO have
fast horses. Extra dairy cows are al
ways in demand. 1t is certainly to be
regretted that more care is not taken to
improve the milking qualities of our
COWS, and it is also a source of regret
that so many Of our farmers are in the
habit of diSposing of so many of their
Young calves to the butchers.

What Shall We Drinks

The editor of Science discusses at
length the value of the different articles
of food which generally enter into daily
consumption. Chocolate, he says,
from its large proportion of albumen,
is the most nutritive beverage, but at
the same time, from its quantity of fat,
the most difficult to digest. Its aro-
matte substances, however, strengthen
the digestion. A cup of chocolate is an
excellent restorative and invigorating
even for weak persons, provided their
digestive organs are not too delicate.
Cardinal Richelieu attributed to choco-
late his health and hilarity during his
later years. Tea and coffee do not afford
this advantage. Albumen in tea leaves,
and legumin in coffee berries are repre-
sented in very scanty proportions. The
praise of tea and coffee as nutritive sub
stances is, therefore, hardly warranted.
Tea and coffee, though of themselves
not difficult of digestion, tend to disturb
the digestion of abuminous substances
by precipitating them from their dis
solved state. Milk, therefore, if mixed
with tea or coffee, is more difficult Of
digestion, than If taken alone, and cof-
fee alone without cream promotes diges-
ton after dinner by INCREASING the secre-
ton OF the d%isSolving juices. The
volatile oil of coffee and the empyreu-
matte and aromatic matters of chocolate

the other hand, is Gained by tea. Tea
