FASHION NOTES.
Scotch ginghams in greater variety
than eyer are LARGELY impOrted.

Scotch ginghams in greater variety
than ever are largely imported.
Foule cloth will be the rival Of
cheviots and tweeds this spring.
Strapped shoes and slippers are worn
for evening and house dress only.
Corn-blue pelisse cloth is largely i'm,
ported its finish is soft but rough.
The combination costume remains
the marked feature in spring styles.
Olive shades combine well with the
new shades of strawberry, terra Gotta
and shrimp pink.
Gold, silver and colored spotted
nets are occasionally worn for wells,
but they are not becoming.
The only colored wrap worn by
women of taste for walking costume
is the Cashm ere or India shawl.
A new and very rich material for
wedding or reception toilets is Otto
man velvet, plain or embossed, on a
silk ground.
Ribbons lined with colored satin are
much used for strings, and n found
very useful and effective for the rib
bon roses employed as trimming upon
many bonnets, instead of flowers or
feathers. The colots of the two sides
of the ribbon must harmonic well, or
the good effect is lost.
Very wide cape collars, after the
style of those worn by children, but
made of richer laces, are found sc
dressy and becoming thai they are now
worn by ladies with even simple,
everyday costumes. With deep cuffs
to match, collars, in fact, have become
a very important feature of the toilet
Small girls wear their hair with the
Vandyck front and flowing back hair
very slightly crimped; for this the hail
is parted across the crown, and all that
part combed forward is cut short in a
way very wholesome for growing hair,
and falls in a straight bang. No rib
bons are used. If curls are worn, they
are arranged in five very long thick
tresse;. Misses wear their back hair
in a small knot low behind, and their
front hair is cropped short and made
in rings all Over the top of the head,
The forehead is much less covered than

This is the season when hens run

they can hide away somewhere and sit
day and night On a wooden nest-egg

WISE WORDS.

No thoroughly occupied man was
ever yet miserable.
If you would create something you
must be something.
Sunshine is like love, it makes every
thing shine with its W beauty.
The very nature of love is to find its
JOY in serving others, not for ones own
benefit but theirs.
Education begins the gentleman
but reading, good company and relec-
ton must finish him.
In the lexicon # youth, which fate
reserves for Il bright manhood, there is
no such word as fail.
For a man to think that he is going
to do the work of his life without OBJ
stacles is to dream in the lap of folly,
Hard speech between those who
have loved is hideous in the memory
like the sight of greatness and beauty
sunk into vice and rags.

Wet Pastures.

One of the most serious obstacles in
the way of successful dairying is wet
pasture. Land that is saturated with
water produces unwholesome heritage,
the grass is rank and sour, and some
times the heritage consists wholly of
sedges and other coarse plants that are
not easily digestible. Such food can
not produce good milk, and the milk
made from such food will not make
good cheese or butter. But very often
this coarse, rank food produces disease
in the cows. This is more especially
the case with yearlings and young cat
tie whose digestive powers are not fully
matured. Another injury results from
the use Of such pastures. Vapor
is constantly arising and settling over
low wet lands, and the presence Of
this vapor greatly affects the tempera-
ture. Every farmer knows how frosts
occur upon such low lands when higher
lands are free from them. Now, all
these influences seriously affect the
health of cattle feeding on such lands.
The vapor arising from them is loaded
with poisonous germs, which infects
the blood when they are breathed into
the lungs. The moisture which settle
down upon them is cold, and as it con-
denses into visible vapor this absorbs
from the cold air various unhealthful
and injurious gases which are always
arising from the decaying vegetable
matter in the soil. Every one knows
more or less of what malaria is and how
it affects persons. Cattle are as sub
ject to these atmospheric poisons as
human beings are, and what we know
as malaria frequently produces dis
eases which cause wonderment anC
surprise to the owners of the sick ami
mails. So the cold which causes the
frost in these low places chills the ami
mails, and a chill TO milking COW i;
most apt to affect the udder first anc
produce garget, at which again the
owner wonders, and for which h,
cannot account. Pregnant cows sud
denly chilled in this way, especially b,
lying down upon the ground, lose thei
calves, and still again the owners won
der how that can happen, when ever,
care as he supposes, has been taken q
the animals. But such things ar

The Paper We Use.

Paper car wheels are composed entirely
of paper rings pressed together under
weight OF six tons, and then fastened
by means of bolts, and steel tires put
on them, then they are ready for use.
Laid loosely the rings stack as high as
the Shoulders of an ordinary man.
Under treatment they sink to the thick.
ness required. If the tire should Wear
or fall off of the wheel, or the train
run from the track, there would be no
danger of their breaking, as they are
very flexible and would spring.
A paper ball can be rendered so
solid that nothing but diamond tool
can cause an indenti0n into it. At the
mill is square block Of compressed
paper fastened on Il turning lathe and
so hard that if fine steel chisel is held
against 1t when it is moving, instead
of cutting the paper 1t will break the
chisel into hundred pieces. The
strength is astonishing You can take

Improvement in Live Stock.

Breeders Gazette.
The constant dropping Of water will
wear away marble, and the lessons of
live stock improvement, although often
apparently falling upon deaf ears, have
produced their effect Excluding
thoroughbred stock and that for which
known efforts have been made at i'm,
provement, and the remainder, consti
tuting whatever of scrub or common
stock there may be in the country,
shows a much higher quality than it
did a few years ago, and every farmer
is today richer by far because of the
influences of blood and agencies to
which he gives but slight credit
Grades, and the grades of grades to
the tenth generntion-little drops of
good blood, diluted over and veragain,
but have never been lost-have been
making their influence felt, ramifying
and reaching through thousands Of di-
vlding and interlaciug channels, the
great body of native live stock, and
lifting the whole to a higher plane
The process has been slow and the re-
suits meager, compared with what
would have been the case had advan>
tage been everywhere taken of pure
bred animals for breeding purposes
but, nevertheless, the advance has been
most gratifying one, and its advan-
tages are apparent whenever a pure
cross is now made upon the native
stock. The foundation has been i'm
proved, and, when given chance, the
fraction of good blood back asserts
itself with remarkable vigor and Ger.
tainty. The grades are better, and
approach nearer a perfect standard, be
cause Of this under current of good
blood, which is widening and deepening
everywhere. In comparing the thor
oughbred with the native stock, due
allowance should be made for the facr
that the native stock has already beer
greatly improved.

An Old Coin.

The Lebanon REGISTER syas: Mr..
Andy Miller has in his possession coin
Of an ancient date and with remarka>
BILE history. 1t is f ON the Spanish
mint, and was made in 1890. In 1o41
Mr.. Miller had an uncle buried at
Gallatin, and with him was buried this
coin. Last April, in removing the
remains, they found the coin lying in
the grave. 1t was easily identified as
being the same, from the fact that
Mr.. Miller's fathers initials were en-.
graved on one side and it also bore
other marks that were familiar. The
coin then is 493 years old and has been
buried forty-two years.

Two youths saw; their hopes were bright;

They sought to scale the far.ofl height,
Where effort reaches its fruition
Each vowed to use his will Alright

The sky Ger both was brightwit splendor,
And golden was the opening hour
OF manhood, as, with blessings tender,
They started forth with cons ious power
That they lfe's duty full might render.
Twas after many years had flown,
When again looked in their faces;
Their foreheads both had wrinkled grown,

Why Drivers Turn to the Right.

Henry Grady in Atlanta Constitution.
Major W. II. Smyth gives me the
following origin Of the American Gus.
tom of turning to the right on the road !:
Our ancestors drove oxen as a usual
thing. In driving an OK team the
driver walks on the left of the team,
so that he can handle the goad or whip
with his right hand. In meeting a
wagon a driver would turn to the right,
SO that he could be between his own
oxen and those of the other wagon.
