The Quaker Bonnet.

Those persons who have supposed, and
not without reason, that the Quaker bon
net was as Interchangeable as the laws of
the Medes and Pcrsians, will be sur
prised to hear that an important modif-
cation, which almost amounts to n revo-
luton, has been quietly introduced and
firmly established. This reform bonnet
is made OF olive or nut-brown silk, with
q soft crown raised little in the Nor
mandy style and plated into the front,
which is composed Of narrow castings,
with tiny finish of pleats around the
face The strings are set up on the sides,
so as to give the cottage bonnet effect,
and there may or may not be plain
quilting of white on the inside, accord
ING to the fancy of the wearer."

Care of Tools and implements.

>~~.>~
One of the heaviest taxes to which far.
mers are subjected is the purchase and
repairing of agricultural implements, and
in many instances this tax is 'lndoubt-
edly increased from carelessness in allow
ing plows, harrows, and other imple.
ments to be exposed to the weather when
not in use.
There are a few simple rules in regard
to the care of implements, which in most
cases can be easily observed. In the first
place, every person having many imple.
ments should have q house of sufficient
size to accommodate all their work
ing tools and implements, and it
should be fixed requirement that
whenever tool is not in use it should be
placed in its appropriate position in the
tool-house, and before being put away ii
should be carefully examined. to see
whether it is broken or damaged in any
manner, and, if so, it should be marked
for repair the first leisure moment. Nc
tool should be put away in dirty con.
dition. A very few minutes will be re.
quired to clean it, which will prevent
the rusting of the iron, as we'll as dam,
age to the woodwork. All the polished
parts of an implement, as the
share, mold-board and coulter
Of the plow, aud the blades of
axes, mattock, spades, mowing-ma
chimes, etc., should be oiled to prevent
rusting; they will then be in readiness
for use at any moment. Every wooden
part of an implement should be painted
at least once year, and even twice q
year for those that are much used in the
field. Rainy days can be appropriated
for such work; a good mineral paint is
the best for these purposes. Paint not
only preserves the wood from decay, but
from cracking, and consequent easy
breakage. Economy, comfort and ap-
pearance, all demand care in the keep
ing Of machinery Of any kind used in
farming and field operations. s.-Practical

aasnring Weddilrs Rs;sss.2siaitasI = 8. BE- .

Ashy young mar Went into Broiia-
: way New York; jewelry store and looked
at gentfFs ssiHens S rings, lingering them and
asking questions about them, and yet
appearing to take only forced interest
in them. The jewelers. clerk whispered
ITO abystander. BY and by he win come
!, around to the wedding or engagement
rings. That is what be hls come after.n
Sure enough, the young man presently
j .pointed Ito tray full Of fat gold bahd
rings What are they for2n he in
Equired. The clerk said that they were
merely fancy rings, worn by ladies and
gentlemen, and that some folks bought
chem for wed ding rings. The ely young
man tried two or three on; his little fin
ger, and, finding one that would not
quite so over his knuekle, he said :
g Give me this one. How much is it2'
Its So, y said The clerk, but if you
want a wedding ring i would advise
You aetfo buy It. Every now and then
we sell them to.people who insist upon
! having them, but as soon as they find
out the fashion they come back and have
them melted up and rolled up into this
| old fashioned round form. The only
wedding ring is the round ring, plain
and simple, z.
Gimme a round one, then; same size
as this. y -,
He got one and went away, The
clerk laughed and said to San reporter
that he could tell when q young man
wanted q wedding or engagement ring
every time, though some times they ask
sto be shown clocks, bracelets, or anything
rather than what they come for. Very
many come right to the point, though
they stammer and falter about it quite
painfully. otineS7s again ask frankly and
/ boldly to see what they want. "There
never has been change in the fashion of
| wedding rings" said the clerk; "the
plain, round gold ring has always been
the only correct thing. Men sometimes
choose other kinds, but women never
make that mistake.,n
Do women choose their, own wedding
rings2a
Oh, very often, frequently they
come in alone, fit ring to the right
finger, and leave it for the prospective
bridegroom to pay for. Sometimes they
pay for it and take itaway, and of course
the: young man reimburses them. Quite
often, too, the brides comes in with their
mothers, Very serious aud grave the
mothers are, and show neither timidity
nor sentiment. They ask tor wedding
rings, they look them over, buy ono, and
go away. Irish and German girls often
bring their lovers as we'll as their mothers.
There is not q funnier sight in the world
than to see clumsy fellow hanging be-
hind and looking unutterably foolish
while his sweetheart and her mother dis
cuss the purchase. They pay no atten-
ton to him until they come to the final
selection. Then hey tell him how much
is to be paid, and he pays it ind they all
go out.
Many foreigners, particularly Germans,
exchange wedding rings. The bride
pays for the groom's ring and vice versa.
At the altar they exchange rings. They
come in together to buy them"

Cremation will receive a powerful
impetus from Portugal if the cable dis.

it has been decreed that in all the
municipalities the cemeteries shall be
emptied each five years and the bodies
be publicly cremated. Why the law is
to wait FIVE years, which is quite enough

why Cafslo Relish, Roots.

Tie Nati01,Gti fGSe Stock journal says
Seattle and hogs will greedily eat sugar
Jeets or other roots when on full IA
ton Of corn. Ehey will relish the roots
because they haze q cooling and sedative
effect upoil the stomach and bowels.
Corn is SO full of carbon as to have q ten
dency to pr-.4"1e feverish state of the
system wFel,Szen too largely. Roots
have the same select upon the system
as succulent grass. English farmers use
roots largely in tie fattening ration, but
they also feed with them rape cake, lin
seed cake, etc.. or other nitrogenous
food. Roots, ike Indian corn, are too
poor in nitrogeG as single food for
growing young qfnimals or for fattening.
Corn and roots 9gether would be much
healthier than corn alone, but q better
fattening ration would be oats and corn
with roots, or, better still, corn, cotton
seed meal or linseed meal and roots.
With small proportion of linseed meal,
say three pounds, with nine pounds of
corn meal-roots would not be go neces-
sary for health, as the linseed meal,
would keep the bowels in good order.
Corn, bran and sugar beets or mangolds
would fatten hogs and keep them
healthy. Hogs especially are benefited
by the use Of roots. They are usually
fed on corn alone, which, we believe,
often induces cholera and other diseases.
The roots give them bulky and cooling
food-just what they so much need.
Bran is a bulky food, and, fed with corn,
is beneficial to hogs. Sugar beets, with
good clover hay, will grow young ami
mails or fatten mature ones. The clover
is rich in nitrogen and the roots in car
bon, making well balanced ration"
