where Hanging Originated.

II has often been a subject Of won err
ment to US where u pretty girls got
the notion from Of combing their front
hair down over their foreheads, and
cutting off the ends so as TO make the
inch and a half Of hair which they keep
hanging down nearly to their eyebrows
and which is irresistibly associated in
our mini with an impertectly sheared
mules tail. The mystery WI solved TO
our satisfaction last night IS we dropped
into DIR. Jackson's. The doctor received
from New Zealand, yesterday, among
quite a variety Of ferns and MOSES, and
other curiosities from that emi-barbar-
Gus land, the pictures Of two Maori
natives Of that country-a boy and q
girl-and the latter had Ter back hair
looped upon the top of her head. and
stuck through with white.tipped turkey
feathers, and the front hair was hauled
down in front, the ends mingling with
the eyebrows. So it is from the New
Zealand savages, and not from the North
American Indian sQuaws, ladies, that
we copy the fashion. Columbia Is. o.

Miss Corson,s Recipes.

SPICED BEEF Use about four pounds
of the flank of beef; wipei it with a clean,
damp cloth; rub into it the following
spices mixed: One teaspoonful OF salt,
one saltspoonful each of ground cloves,
mace and pepper, and a very little cay
enne pepper. Roll it up and tie it in a
compact roll. Put it over the fire in
boiling water enough TO cover it, and
boil it slowly for two hours. Remove
the strings and use it hot with sauce
~piquante.
BAKED ONIONS Peel ten large onions
without breaking the layers; boil them
for half an hour in well-salted boiling
water, and drain them; when cool
enough to handle cut a half.inch slice
from the top of each, and take out a tea.
spoonful of the middle part; chop these
pieces fine, mix them with half a cupful
OF stale bread crumbs, a %saltspoonful OF
salt, quarter of that quantity Of pepper
and the yolk OF q raw egg; use this
forcemeat to stuff the onions, lay them
on a baking dish, brush them with the
white ofthe egg beaten o little, dust them
with fine bread crumbs and bake them
slowly tor forty minutes. Serve Them
hot.
FRIED PUMPKIN Peel a small, ten
der pumpkin; cut it in slices half an
inch thick and two inches square,
sprinkle each piece with salt and let it
stand in an earthen dish for an hour.
Then wipe the slices, pepper them, roll
them in flour and fry them brown in
smoking hot fat enough to cover them
lay them on brown paper for a moment
TO free them from grease after they are
done, and then serve them hot. Squash
can bee cooked in the same way.

MIX for PsultU.

This is one Of the very hest things TO
give either young or old fowls. Most
every breeder has tested its value and
recommends il as a wholesome and
nutritious diet, naturally adapted for
young chicks and poultry. On every
farm and in most all suburban homes
milk is fed TO pigs. This is one way 10
utilize il. But il farmers paid nor at
tention to their poultry stock than they
do. they would find that they could
turn II TO better account by feeding it to
their chicks and laying hens.
All kinds of poultry are fond ofmilk.
Although they soon become satiated II
fed exclusively on grain, animal, vege-
table or insect food, they seldom refuse
milk in any form-iresh oil sour, it
makes no difference to them. Nowadays
milk enters largely into the bill Of fare
for chicks and fowls. Fanciers have
found out that it contains properties
beneficial TO their health and early de-
velopment. Almost the first foo1-and
with many the first after the yolk is
assimilated-its soothing and nutritive
effect is apparent, and If mixed with
stale bread crumbs or oatmeal cake
nothing is better.
Now, for laying hens milk is nourish
ing, and induces laying. Where 1t can
be spared it is more valuable to the
poultry stock than TO any other. II
farmers would give it a fair trial, and
lay aside the fogy notions oftheir ances-
tors and look at things in a new light,
they would abandon the practice Of
feeding their spare milk to pigs and
give it to a better-paying stock. -RuHry

Ladies' street jackets are not bordered
with fur, but have collar, cuffs and
pocket welts made of it. 4 fur border
is thought to detract from the style.
Plush and brocaded velvet fans come
in dark Oriental colors, or in delicate

CasEmeres are prettiest trimmed with
velvets; cloths, as already said, with
velvet or plush, but the prettiest fancy
fabrics for trimming fine woolens are
those of wool brocaded in tiny silk pat

Plated waists are again fashionable

Ladies who are making whole gowns
out of the brocades now sold at half

that the dresses should be very simple
in style, with peasant waists, broad
collars, wide belts with sashes, close
sleeves, and a full round skirt with no
trimmings at the back.

Farm and Garden Notes.

A bulky fodder is the natural food of
ruminants.
A uniform use of water is essential to
the healthy growth Of plants.
Cornstalks contain more potash than
any other fodder fed to cows.
Pots containing flowers should be
washed as often as any mold or fungus
growth appears.
When strawberry plants are set in
rows three feet apart and a foot apart
in the rows it REQUIRES 4,520 for an
acre.
Sheep manure is much richer than
that of COWS. Practically it is estimated
at nearly double the value OF that Of
cattle.
On many farms there are some old
cattle and old sheep that can only be
kept at a loss. 1t is economy to fatten
them for the butcher.
In all attempts at breeding domestic
cattle no immature stock should be
used. Mature slres and dams are essen
tial if strong, healthy stock are desired.
Like produces like"
According to DIR. Wiedebold, ungus
growths in cellars may be combatted
either by burning sulphur or 10y pour
ing two parts of concentrated sulphuric
acid over one Fart of common salt, and
so closing all openings rs to prevent any
escape of the vapors.
Prof. j. F. W Johnston, says: 1t is
certain that common salt has in very
many cases been advantageous to the
growing crop" He then quotes the re-
suits of experiments in which wheat
dressed with salt gave an average of
eight bushels more than the same kind
of soil produces without salt; barley
gave an increase of twenty-one bushels
an acre, and hay one ton increase to the
acre.
The scales which fly off from iron be-
ing worked at forges, iron trimmings,
filings, or other ferruginous material, II
worked into the soil about fruit trees, or
the more minute particles spread thinly
on the lawn, mixed with the earth of
flower beds or in pots, add greatly to
the productiveness of the soil. For CO.
ored flowers, they heighten the bloom
and increase the brilliancy.
The following fertilizer for hyacinth
has been tried with great success: To
a square yard Of ground apply, when
planting the bulbs, an ounce and a half
of superphosphate of lime, half an ounce
of nitrate of potash (salpeter,) and halt
an ounce of carbonate of soda, all well
mixed and pulverized in a mortar.
Using this fertilizer as a top-dressing
you may expect very fine blooms, and
will not need fresh bulbs.
Ground bone, bone meal and fine
granulated bone are all m~erchantable
articles nowadays, and large quantities
of this economical provision for poultry
are used by those who understand its
value.
Lime is an excellent fertilizer on clay
soils, on account of its power to render
soluble many of the component parts Of
the clay, and also to make it more

Probably fifty years hence there will
be abundance of trees in the West.
Agriculturists are rapidly awaking to
the necessity of planting them. The
Fort Scott and Gulf railroad company
has begun the planting of hundreds Of
trees on its lands. A Boston capitalist
has engaged a company of raisers of for
est seedlings in Illinois to break and
plow a large areain Kansas, and plant
n o less than 2,700 trees to the acre, and
cultivate these until they shade the
ground. At the end of that time--say
ten years-the plantations will be deliv-
cred over TO the owner. No trees less
than six feet high are to be counted.
The Fort Scott railroad has adopted this
plan, one advantage of which is that the
tree enterprise will be attended by ex-
perienced men, whose interest it will be
to make as much of a ucce of it as
possible.

H. V. Redield, the author of Homi-
eide North and South" says Of stealing
in the two sections: Generally in the
rural districts OF the South a man can
live from tender youth to hoary age
without a bolt or lock on his doors, and
never suffer the loss of a dollar from
thieves, except, possibly, a few trifing
depredations among his pigs and chick
ems. Skillful burglary, suck as house

Ladies' Dress cheaper.

From the Chicago Tribune.
It's not going to be very expensive to
dress well this winter. Ladies' can no
longer put twenty-five or thirty yards
OF silk into dresses; they are to be made
very plain, mostly embroidered with
chenille or beads, and must clear the
ground ten or twelve inches, according to
the loot OF the wearer.
Al present the great fad OF the females
is for lovely stockings and nObby shoes.
Black silk hose are the iavorites, into
which are let rows OF Chantilly or Maltese
lace. At Long Branch ladies do it them
selves; buy black silk stockings and insert
strips Of handsome lace over the instep.
