Many weird tales have been told of
seeds found in the hands of Egyptian
mummies being planted and growing
into some flower of wonderful beauty,
but with 50 dead perfume that it de-
stroyed the lives of its wearers. 1t is a
fact that an English market gardener
has recently raised peas from some
dried ones found in the grip of a
mummy. When Michael Davitt was in
Portland prison, too, one of the visitors
became interested in the little garden
which the founder of the Land league
was allowed to amuse himself by Gull
tivating and sent him some flower seeds
which had come in like manner from
the tomb of an Egyptian. Davitt
planted the seeds and reared specimens
of the flora of old Egypt.

The fatter a breeding SOW is kept
the more liable she is to destroy
her pigs by lying on them OF eating
them up. Sows left to run wild will
make good mothers, and will generally
select warm, dry place to farrow. 1t
is for this reason that there is 80 much
advantage in using full-blooded bears
OF improved breeds on large, coarse
boned native sows. The progeny Sc
cures the good qualities from its sire
with a better constitution and more
hardness than it could get from full
blooded pedigree, going back through
generations which have always had
ample feed and little exercise.
"A gigantic undertaking in the way
of fruit growing has been commenced by
Lord Sudeley, at Toddington, near
Cheltenham, England. Two years ago
there were planted $1,000 gooseberry

currant bushes, 2919 apple tree, 1862
pear trees, 8845 damson trees, 532 cher

600 raspberry bushes, 100 cob nut trees
and so acres of strawberry plants. In
addition, 100 Scotch frs and 10000
poplars have been planted for sheltering
purposes. Lord Sudeley is at present
erecting a large jam mandatory in the

"A local paper reports that farmer

Estops him with her call;
She wants fan. n pair of gloves,
And new pink parasol.
He hears no more far down the street
His echeing footsteps fly;

And his days toll is done,
Though told to get hundred things,

Farm Notes.

Experiments have proved that
musty meal is not wholesome food for
any of the domestic animals. Disease
and death have been directly traced to
its use. When fed to poultry, chicken
cholera or some disease resembling it
was the result. Cows to which it was
fed gave bitter milk, and ceased to
thrive as well as those in the same pas
ture which had no grain. Swine fed
upon it failed to grow or fatten. Only
horses were not injured by it, and they
escaped because they would not eat it.

The water that flows over plowed

percolates through the soil to an under

in great part prevented by having a
growing crop on the ground all the time.

Evening dresses are made with an
amplitude almost recalling the days of
crinoline. Happily, the fullness estab-
lished by French decree is confined
wholly to the back, the front and sides
falling straight enough. Some of the
newest white skirts to be worn next the
dress have a single embroidered fiounce
going all the way around the foot of
the skirt, but in the back they are
bounced nearly to the waist, each ruflle
being starched very stiff when laun-
dried.
Amber is very fashionable color,
and one of the most beautiful impor-
tations from Worth is an amber satin
reception costume. The court train
opens over a petticoat of ruby velvet
covered with very deep amber lace
fiounces. The bodice is pointed and
sleeveless, and is trimmed with a mag
niicent embroidery of gold, ruby and
amber beads, which glisten like gems
In the gaslight, this embroidery head

this dress is beautiful beyond descrip-
ton. .s.... .s.l.
-Darcing-dresses, of which softly
hanging merveilleux silk forms COM
petent part, are sometimes arranged
with graceful drapery of the silk
crossing the bodice diagonally from
shoulder to waist, and then forming a
panier, while at the other side lighter
material, like tulle OF gauze broche, is
draped panier-wise over the surah.
Often a garland of field flowers borders
the edge of the tulle panier. 1t is not
easy to describe this new and pretty
style, which is remarkably effective.
-Brocade embroidery is very effec-
tive, and is made by outlining the
various flowers or geometrical designs
woven into brocaded materials. The
patterns are first outlined in stem-stitcb,
or double piece of wool or silk is
couched along the chief edges of the
design. Sometimes better effect is
produced by covering the whole of the
Drocaded design and leaving only the
foundation material visible. When SO
treated, long or satin-stitch is used, as
in satin-stitch embroidery, and when
well executed in judicious colors the
effect is extremely good.
