a charge is to be made into II cUrnneId
in the next lot, even if astone wall or a
well Travelled highway ~interyenes, the
worms begin to drop of from the stalks
all over the field a though at a signal.
They eat anything palatable to them
on the line of march. but do not spread
sidewise. The march is straight ahead
TO the next field, leaving a swath OF
leahess stubble where they have passed.
One Of their titbits is blue grass. A
clump of it will attract so macy worms
that they completely cover it. On timo-
thy and blue grass they grow rapidly,
rarely attaining a length greater than
an inch and a half. When at this length
they are almost as large around as q
penholder. Try to secure ne by pluck
ing a blade Of grass, and when the blade
is touched the worm drops and curls up
in the grass.
When the worms travel in millions,
the noise of their chewing, of their feet
on the leaves, and their dropping here
and there to the ground from a leaf can
be distinctly heard. When they q
road they mass together and hide in the
dust. Each worm is said to live for a
week, and then to borrow into the
ground. When at work in millions on
a field of oats or timothy, the army adj
vances from two to five yards in an
hour. Toward night the worms drop
into the grass, and remain quiet until
the next day.

The Coming War Ships

Professor Lowenthal. a German,
thinks the coming war ship will be
built OF india rubber. His idea is to
make the entire hull of rubber, one foot
In thickness, strengthened below water
line by a light steel frame. The vessel
will be driven by an ordinary steam
engine, and have no masts. The crew
will be on a lower deck, out of the
range of shot. When a cannon ball
strikes the india rubber ship, it will
pass directly through it, above the
heads of the crew, and the hole made
by it will Immediately close. The
method of attack of this ship will be by
torpedoes only. The doomed ship will
Immediately sink, while her destroyer
will be merely driven some hundred
yards backward by the recoil fol.
lowing the explosion. The inventor
considers such a vessel could destroy
all the navies in the world, and, after
her work wos done, could be made
as perfect as ever with the aid Of a few
boxes of cement.

Nelson's proposed Journey to America
this year has been abandoned.
The Empress Augusta, Of Germany,

dresses, holding that no lady beyond
middle age should wear light colors.
A New York girl is one of the ladies
in-waiting to the Queen of Italy. She
was formerly Miss Lorillard Spencer,
but is now the Princess Bolognetti
Cenci.
The Governor of Massachusetts has
appointed Mrs. Clara Leonard of Spring
field, on the State board of health,
lunacy and charity-the first woman
ever appointed on the board.
In no court, says the London Truth,
are more beautiful women to be seen
than in England; but it is to be re-
GREETED that more pains are not taken to
teach graceful walking. Even in a
ballroom, what with high heels and
tied -back skirts, the art of progression
is far too much neglected by English
women.
Two Illinois la~mplighters are dis
covered to be girls, whose father COM
PEELED them TO dress in boys clothes in
order to get the work.
The housemaids of Hamburg, who
seem to be always in the streets, are
very pretty. They wear the tiniest Of
lace caps on the backs of their heads,
and their dresses are made with short,
pulled sleeves, leaving the arms bare
almost from the shoulder.
In a report of the London Mendicity
society a conversation is given which
was overheard between two of that
class of begging women who sit in the
streets, got up to look as deplorable as
possible, with a child in the lap: "How

FOL THE FAIR SEX.
Faghion Notes.

Black Spanish lace mantillas, trimmed
with ribbon loops and narrow lace, arc
among the novelties.
Large hats, either black or white, are
trimmed simply with one long ostrich
plume and a bow Of white lace.
Short costumes of sheer nainsook or Of
dotted Swiss are the favorite toilets this
summer at the watering places.
Bows and ends set at intervals along
the lower edge of the skirt are used by
some ladies as q substitute for the
founce, without which they "do not
feel dressed"
White is worn by children this sum-
mer except in the morning play hours.
Brown has quite gone out of fashion,
and navy blue is the color most used for
flannel dresses.
When summer satin is mixed with
wooden stuff to make a suit, it is often
piped and trimmed with scarlet satin,
the two somber- colored stuffs being re-
garded as forming a groundwork for the
bright color.
All gloves are made long this season
to suit the short sleeves, which reach
but little below the elbows.
A trimming much in favor is made Of
bands of red silk or batiste, on which
are embroidered the characters of the
Chinese alphabet.
The everyday stocking for summer
wear is Lisle thread. fine and thin, I'M
bleached or else in solid colors.
1t is a curious freak of fashion that
ladies, with abundant hair, are now
wearing light wigs. called ~scalpettes,
over their own hair, smoothly banded
across the head, 1t is claimed that the
scalpette, used during the summer, pre-
serves the hair, while admitting album
dant light and air.
To think of Scotch ginghams becom-
ing prime favorites once morei They
come not only in piaids and checks, but
with solid grounds, quite pale, crossed
by lines of darker color.

Provide for the Chickens,

Wonder II there is not a good deal OF
truth embodied in this somewhat elon-
gated sentence: The farmer builds ex-
pensive houses for his horses, hogs, cat
tie and sheep, and feeds them upon the
richest produce of his broad acres with
out stint; butif his wife, son or daughter
has the enterprise to keep a few fowls,
they are g~rudgingly given some old shed
or the boughs of some tree, and they 60
without food or drink except that which
their own industry provides, and If
hunger drives them TO the garden in
search of food they are met with a tor
nado of sticks, stones and clubs; and
yet these same fowls are expected to
supply the farmers table with eggs, and
If they fail to do it, it is claimed that
fowls are not profitable, and no matter
when the hen dies she owes her owner a
quarter.

Oatmeal and Water.

A great deal OF harm to health and
many deaths result, Us everybody knows,
from injudicious use of cold liquids to
quench thirst during our blazing sum-
mers. Persons exposed TO the heat,
especially those hard ct work, cannot,
or will not. refrain from drinking, for
they feel the need OF supplying the
waste from copious perspiratioD. What,
then, shall they drink, asks a New York
paper. Water seems, under the circum-
stances, TO be inadequate to the wants
of the system. 1t passes through the
circulation to the skin as through a
sieve, and flows over the surface in
streams. A big drink OF cold, or even
of cool, water On an empty stomach is
very dangerous; it is liable to produce
sudden death. The danger may be
avoided, it is said, by putting farina-
ceous substances, particularly oatmeal,
with the water to be dr. ank by laborers
the proper proportion being three or
four ounces Of meal toa gallon of water.
Why .oatmeals houlG be better than rye,
millet, buckwheat or cornmeal cannot
easily determined, but those who have
used oatmeal, especially firCmen, coal
beavers, and the like, say hat it gives
them greater endurance and increases
their strength. This may be mere no
ton, but the peculiar aroma Of the oats
may be so associated with an agreeable
stimulation of the alimentary mucous
surface as to promote complete diges-
ton. The meal appears to fill the blood
vessels without increasing the cutane-
Gus exhalations. Workmen who tried
acid, saccharine, or alcoholic drinks as
a substitute for thel oatmeal drinks
have invaribly expressed unsatisfactory
results. Water with oatmeal seems to
be by all odds the most wholesome and
desirable summer drink for manual
laborers.

Durability OF

The best physicians are coming NOR,
to acknowledge that tubercular con
sumption a be cured.
Doctor Carl Booth, Of New York, /,
man eminent in the regular profession
claims that he Is able 10 cure sixty pei
cent. of consumptives at all stages; anG
that it is easy to arrest the disease in
its early stage. His aim is to secure five
points:
l. To get the muscles which control
the action of the lungs into such a con
dition that they can draw the air forci'
bly, into the finest passages, thus clear
ing the lungs of all phlegm and pus, and
re-establishing capillary circulation and
respiration in the affected parts, and
stimulating the activity Of the air-cells
generally.
3. To establish perfect digestion, as
similation, and excretion. In this, he
does not seek what to people generally
is the most nutritious AMI most easily
digested food, but such as the particular
patient can most readily digest and
assimilate.
3. To heal the tuberclcs by transform
ing them into a c~retaceous (chalk-like)
mass. He secures this CD with food rich
in salts of lime, (2) certain minerals,
UGH as lime and silica; and (3) certain
acids, such as %citric, which promote the
oxidation of etfete matter.
4. To increase the activity of the:air
cells. This is accomplished by bring
ing the patients under the influence, as
much as possible, of sunlight, ozone,
fresh air and bodily exercise. He says:
"They sleep with open windows in
summer and winter, and 60 out every
day. So important is outdoor exercise,
that l insist that my patients 60 out in
rain, snow, dampRess, and even in night
air and dew. l have had no instance
for twenty years where a patient caught
cold from such exposure. l only guard
against strong head-winds and extreme
hot weather"
5. To prevent all unnecessary waste of
the nervous force, and to employ the lat
ter,Tas far as possible, in promoting the
nutrition Youths Companion.

minister, making at the same time the
remark that she had not yet heard him

for Pickles,

Those who plant cucumbers for
pickles only do not wish to plant the
seeds early, and often when the proper
time comes the sell is very dry. A cor
respondent of the American Rural
Home says that in such cases he sue.
ceeds by soaking the seed for twenty.
four hours, and then planting them in
the hills with n inch of rotten manur
and then moistening the ground if the
same is very dry. l have, in this man.
ner, planted cucumber seeds for pickles
in dry and hot weather, and had them
up In three or four days, and in splendid
conditi or between rows OF onion sets,
and never touched them until the onions
had been removed, and thereby received
O double crop from a piece of land
which otherwise would have been one
crop.

Fertilizers for the Garden,

The question of manuring the garden
is one that might be proftably con-
sidered. Experiment has shown that 1t
pays to rotate different kinds of manure
from year to year. Among the arti-
fetal manure used for gardening pur-
poses are Peruvian guano, bone flour,
blood and bone fertilizer, and refuse
from various manufacturers, such as
sugar-house refuse, fish scraps, refuse
hops, glue waste. etc. Glue waste,
either raw or composted, makes an ex-
cellent fertilizer for corn, and when well
composted with muck, earth, or rotted
manure, may be used for some other
crops. This substance heats violently,
and frequent turning and free use Of
water may be necessary to keep it from
burning"
