A VeritnbIs Moss Rose Dress.

From Fashion Letter.
McCreery shows two of these fabulous,
magic dresses. One is a most superb
conceit in design and construction, O
marvellous combination of rich, rare
shades. The front and sides are in one
piece, a tableau literally covered with
French hand embroidery, in shaded pink
and red roses, in the various degrees of
tinting, from flesh pink to the roseate
hue up to rich garnet and ruby red,
with sprays and leaves in the wood
browns and Moorish tinges, in delicate
sprig green to summers dark shades, in
silk and in chenille. Now, the marvel of
the conceit is the natural finish of the
roses and buds, the calyx Of each and
ends of which are hidden under the en-
broidery, making most beautiful and
original piece of work. This apron,
which is of olive green, is slashed ut the
bottom and in the openings are fans of
pale pink silk, and the underskirt is fin
ished with narrow nife-platings in pink
and maroon. The over garment of satin,
peculiar in color, being a ruby-tinted
maroon, was open III front and arranged
i'll full drapery over the hips and edged
with handsome moss fringe. The sides
of the train piece have perpendicular
pleatings, also decorated with the droop-
ing fringe, and the full back is looped,
while the lower portion of the train is
finished with side pleatings of maroon
and pink silk. The open corsage is bor-
dered with the embroidery and the neck
and sleeves are decorated with rich
Duchess lace.

Value Of swamp Muck.

Some time ago. we remarked that IN
acre of swamp muck of good quality,
three feet deep, was actually worth $685.
600. No doubt such statement is sur
prising. So was the statement of DIR.
Lawes, of England, that ton of bran
fed to COWS returned more than its cost
in manure. Swamp muck, free from
sand, contains two per cent. or forty
pounds of nitrogen in II ton. Nitrogen
is worth in the market twenty-five cents
pound. So that ton of swamp muck
is actually worth ten dollars for the nj
trogen i'll it. All that is neededis to work
up the muck, 80 as to make the nitrogen
available. An acre Of swamp muck
three feet deep contains $500 tons, and
would require eight months to draw out,
ut ten loads day Few persons realize
the value Of the fertilizing elements Of
common waste matters which lie under
their feet, and the innumerable tons of
matter, that may be available for fertiliz-
ing purposes, and that much OF the idle
and neglected materials represents Il vast
amount of wealth.

Culture Of Onions.

In answer to II. F. c., in the Country
Gentleman, w. E., of Perry, o., says,
in regard to the culture of onions:
Perhaps the experience of one who
has cultivated them for ten years may be
of some benefit to him and others of the
uninitiated. My method is as follows:
If the ground is SO wet that it would be
difficult to plough it in the spring, or is
inclined to be lumpy, should plough it
in the fall, and cultivate it thoroughly in
the spring, before applying the manure
Otherwise, should not do the plough
ing until few days before sowing the
seed, as by 30 doing all the weed seeds
which may be on the top of the ground
are turned under and cannot get up until
the onions get start, thereby saving
considerable wedding.
There can be no definite time for SOW
ing the seed, as it all depends on the
weather. 1 generally SOW about the LIST
of May, but considerably later than that
will do. The best crop ever raised
was sown the 10Th day of May. The
rule follow is to wait until the season
has so far advanced that the ground is
well warmed. AS for manures, if could
get plenty of well-rotted barnyard
manure I would use it in preference to
any of the fertilizers, although it makes
nearly double the wedding. Ten or
twelve loads of well-rotted manure, with
forty or fifty bushels of unleached ashes,
and 400 pounds of land plaster, are suf-
Gent for an acre each year. III do
not have manure l use 500 or 600 pounds
of some kind of fertilizer, with the above
mentioned quantity of ashes and
plaster. But whether manure or
fertilizers are used, it should be
spread on the ground after it 81
ploughed, and day or two before the
seed is sown, and be well narrowed in.
Then spread on the ashes broadcast
The plaster can be sowed on now or q
week or two later, but prefer the latter
method. Use light harrow after the
ashes are spread; then the pulverizer
can be used with great advantage, and it
saves nearly all the raking, except at the
ends. One man can rake the ground as
| fast as one can drill.
1t is now ready for drilling. Iput the
rows fifteen inches apart, and as straight
as possible, for straight rows cultivate
easier and better than crooked ones.
Four pounds of good seed is plenty for
an acre. Be sure that the drill sowe
regularly. think that Matthews gar
den seed drill is the best one to use. On
dryish ground the seed should be Gov.
cred about an inch deep; on moist
ground, one-haf or three-quarte-s will
do. As soon as the onions are up

est, will soon have remained the longest
unmarried. The Grown Princess of Ger
many married at eighteen; the late Prin-
cess Alice of Hesse was married when
she was nineteen; the Princess Helena
married at twenty; the Princess Louise,
who had until that time remained longest
single, when she married the Marquis of
Lorne, was about the same age that her
young sister is-that is, twenty-three.
1t is natural enough that there should be
gossip and rumors about the welded fate
of the last of the quintette. Romance
has not been absent from the stories told
about her, but the truth seems to be that
the princess has chosen, up to this time.

A Volcanic Island.

Just two hundred and sixteen years
ago the Dutchman, Van Waning, cruis-
ing about the Indian ocean in latitude 81
degrees 81 seconds south, longitude n
degrees 36 seconds east, came upon
q small volcanic island, four miles in
length from north to south, and about
two miles broad from east to west. From
the spongy and porous higher parts of
the island scorino rivers flowed eastward
to the sea, forming large natual basin
or harbor, some thousand feet in width,
with an opening from the ocean two
hundred feet wide. Steep hills encom-
passed the harbor, running down be-
meath the surface of the safe water to a
central depth of one hundred and seven
ty-four feet, and only through the COM
parativety narrow gate could ships en-
ter, for all about the gloomy island the
coast was inaccessible with boulders of
treacherous pumice and dangerous
streams of lava. Close to the entrance
of this natural port stood sentinel a
rocky pyramid filed the veins of obsi-
dian, or volcanic glass, taller than the
London monument. This remnant Of
the Titanic age erects itself midway be-
tween Madagascar and Australia, and is
now called Crozet island. 1t has been
place of refuge on several occasions
for shipwrecked sailors.

MuIching Will, Stones.

A correspondent of the american
Fruit Recorder, in REF .rring to an article
which has appeared in that paper on the
apparent advantage that stones afford i'll
holding and imparting moisture to the
soil and their use as q mulch, says it re-
calls to mind an experiment he tired
several years ago in growing tomatoes.
The ground selected for setting the to-
mato plants was plentifully strewed with
small stones. So in order to make their
cultivation little more convenient he
picked up what surface stones there was
on this plat of ground, and packed them
compactly around portion of the plants,
making Il circle some three feet or more
across. Ii was noticeable that those
stone-mulched" plants not only proved
very thrifty and productive, but they
commenced to rlpen not only much earlier
than the rest, but the main portion of
their fruit was ripe and gone before the
others had ripened but small portion OF
their crop. This trial WIS so satisfactory
that it was repeated the next season with
same result. Since that time, however,
the work of improvement in his gar
den has necessarily removed that kind of
"mulching" to walls and bitches; but
he was satisfied that aside from incon-
venience Of their being in the way, and
their necessary removal each spring In
blowing, there never was an experiment
in plant-growing more satisfactory in its
results than secured by the use of "stone
as mulch"

Hungarian Grass aud N1fiIct.
CFrum the New York SUM-

This is much less vigorously grow
ing plant than the last, sending up in
ordinary soils only one stalk from seed,
but this is well furnished with long sue
culent leaves. The seed should be sown
rather late in the spring or after the
ground has become well warmed, as the
young plants are rather sensitive to cold,
and if once checked by few cool nights,
they seldom recover. The seed may be
sown broadcast and narrowed in the same
as other small grains, half bushel of
seed being sufficient for an acre. Cut
and feed green. Hungarian millet is ex-
cellent for all kinds OF stock, and if cut
and cured just ut the time it comes into
bloom, it makes moderately fair quail
ity of hay, but is rather coarse and
woody for feeding horses, although it is
used occasionally for this purpose. A
variety of the Hungarian known rs
"golden millet" has of late years been
extensively cultivated in preference to
the original species, the latter being OF
a more slender shape and not quite so
coarse in the stem. The heads are also
shorter, with seeds of bright golden
color. There are also several other
species of millet that have been more or
less cultivated in this country. but there
are none superior to those named above.

enough to see the rows, ] go through
them with hand cultivation, and 10 this,
il possible, once a week until they get
too large to work in. At the. second or
third cultvating, or sooner If the ground
is foul, weed them. A very useful tool
to weed with, where the ground 10 hard,
can be made out of an old hoe, by cut
ting off the sides of the blade until there
is a strip IN inch and a half wide left,
grinding the sides and edge sharp, and
putting in handle ten inches long; but
where the ground in soft and easy to
work, I find that the fingers alone will
weed faster than anything else; and if
they get tender and sore, rubber finger
stalls, which can be bought ut nearly
every drug store, are very great help,
Be sure and keep ahead of the weeds, for
if they once get the start Of you, you will
repent on your hands and knees many
days.
When the tops have nearly fallen down
and look dead, they are fit to pull. If
you have anything to run under the rows
and cut the roots, they can be raked out
very readily, and two men-one to cut
the roots and one to rake-can go over IN
acre and half in n day. Ii you have
nothing to cut the roots with, think
the best way is to pull t,iree rows to-
gether, and when You wish to take them
off the field rake three Of these rows to-
gether, when they can be taken up very
fast with coke fork. The tops should
he cut off about an inch from the bulb.
The best thing for this purpose that
have ever seen is common pair Of
shears with the blades cut off nearly hnlf
way down. All that now remains to be
done is to sell them for good price.

Frozen Deer on Foot.

A resident of Victoria, British Column
bia, writes: "The whole country north
of Clinton to Peace river is covered with
snow three feet deep. This is the 18th
of March. The winter may last three
weeks longer, and there is no chance for
the remnant of live stock. The oldest
Indians never saw such terrible winter
as this has been. In many places the
dead bodies of deer have been found
standing in the forest frozen stiff. The
bounding deer turned into lump of ice
and the starving Indian trying to cut
a venison steak with an axe would make
a picture of life in northern ATTITUDES
very interesting to those who spend theii
lives in well-aired rooms"

A PHYSICIAN of West Chester, Pa,
has decided, after actual experimenting
in that line, that the English sparrow is
an edible food. and when served after the
manner of serving reed birds an excellent

who have hitherto been puzzled to know
what to do with the little pests where
they breed too rapidly.
