Girls Wraps.

Sacques or walking coats of cloth or
velvet for girls from two to five years
old have the broad back forms that give
square short-waisted look; these are
double plated in the middle seam, and
have only single plaits turned under
next the side form. The French back
of two pieces without side forms is used
on many of these little coats of dark
velvet or cloth; the wide fronts hang
straight, are double-breasted. and ex-
tend very far back. A cord of satin OF
passeme1terie is the only trimming
needed for these coats, and the whole
of the expense is put in the thick,
warm and soft material, as their SIM
pie design requires little labor in max
ing. High-shouldered capes of the
dress material are added to the cloth
and velvet princesse dresses of larger
girls. The long Newmarket coat with
a pointed hood will be the favorite
wrap for girls from six to sixteen years
of age. This is made of plain or
of checked or striped cloth of dark col.
ors, and covers the wearer from her
neck down to the end of her dress skirt.
1t may be either single or double
breasted, and has all its fullness in two
box plaits in the back. Dahlia red and
seal brown seem to be the popular col
ors for these useful cloaks that are but
toned their entire length with figured
metal buttons to match the cloth.
Newer plaid cloth coats have full
sleeves plated to a cuff, a velvet cape
hat laps to the left shoulder, and are
crowded with a bag of ecru leather
that is worn strapped over the right

Facts on Corn Culture.

Since the introduction of the progress
i've system of fiat culture for corn
many advocates have been added, until
now the majority of the farmers at the
East practice it in preference to the hill
system. The practice of drill planting
is also being very generally followed.
The reports of large yields of grain
come mostly from farmers who practice
broadcast manuring, drill seeding and
shallow cultivation. But there are, OF
course. exceptions to the rule.
Where the drill is used the soil must
be thoroughly prepared, the blowing
must be well done and the ground har-
rOwed until there is smooth, fine sur
face. This culture before seeding is an
important point, and influences the
early growth of the crops more than
many planters are aware.
The question agitated in regard to
using the pillow after the seed is plant
ed is one yet to be settled. Some OF our
best farmers do not use the pillow after
the seed is dropped. but the number of
farmers who prefer to cultivate until
the plants are in bloom are still many
in number. Then there are advocates
for medium course. An instance OF
this last may be cited, Prof. Roberts. OF
Cornell University, who approves Of
root pruning in moist or wet weather
where the soil is rich and the growth
rapid, but thinks it liable to be injuri-
Gus in dry. hot weather. When the
pillow is not used the soil is kept mellow
and moist with oultivator and hoe.
1t is by no means a new idea that
good seed is one of the first requisites to
a big yield of corn, but it appears nec-
essary to urge great care in the selec-
ton OF seed corn every autumn, for
every spring there occur repeated fail
ures for lack of seed that will germi-
nate.-M Y. World.

Couldn't Stand 1t.

The Mulberton and the Ginsley fami.
lies are near neighbOrs. They live in
the suburbs of Austin. There is, OF
should be, bond of unity between
them, for they are both very slow and
deliberate in spending money. Both of
the families mentioned keep very frugal
tables. Mrs. Mulberton thought it
would be a fine stroke of policy to send
her children over to the Ginsley man
sion just about supper time. The re-
suit was entirely satisfactory, for the
next time the ladies met, Mrs. Mulber-
ton asked:
"Why don't you send your little dears
over to my house every evening""
II couldn't think of it. They come
home hungry as wolves, and would eat
me out of house and home if they were
to keep it up"
There is now glacial epoch existing
between the two families. SJt-

LAMrAsAs. June 27.-[Special l-Your
correspondent hardly knows how to wire
you the awful news that has happened here
to-day, but will commence by saying that
one Of our first business men and his wife
both killed themselves at the hour of $3.50
this morning. The coroner's inquest says
that Mr.. and Hrs. G. II. Ross
wounds from their own hands.
The people in the heighborhood heard the
report Of q pistol, and coon found that it
was from Mr. Ross residence. Mr.. Ross
rushed into his bedroom and there found
his wife dead on the floor, with
wound through the heart. Alter
rushing out OF his house to n
neighbours for assistance, he returned
to his wife's side, and told the few people
how his wife shot herself in these words (:
"She shot herself this way" and he held
the pistol up to the side of his head and
fired Immediately, falling by his dead wife's
side, From the facts gathered il looks like
the whole affair was cauaed by family
troubles, the facts of which no one will
truly know, yet 1t is verified that Mr.. Ross
sometimes drank freely, and that his wife
objected, and after time commenced the
use Of morphine. Finally he objected to
her using the drug, and because she could
not obtain 1t when wanted concluded that
life had no charms for her and shot herself,
Shortly after their marriage they appeared
quite happy, and some people say they
were unusually contented. 9. H.
Ross, deceased, has a brother in
Galveston and also one In Rockaale,
they say his father lives in Huntsville,
Texas. He has been here for the past two
years and was engaged in the dry goods
business; was not financially embarrassed
