HUGH HASnincence ana In all the cOiOrS or the
rainbow, the young girls, particularly those that
| affect English styles and manners, are putting
| on airs OF extreme simplicity. Their brothers
are jockeys and stable boys, and they are milk
| maids and pretty waiter girls. One cannot re-
seems praiseworthy, because there's no con-
science in it. 1t is mere masquerading It does
not make them any more truly useful, or eco
| nomical, or sensible, or willing to face the es-
| sential conditions Of an honorable and indie
pendent life 1t is part of the curious medley
which we call life, and which makes those who
| fare and dress sumptu0usly every day some
times to wish for nothing so much as the poetry
OF poverty, it's freedom from conventiOnality
and It's picturesque elements without it's hard
and binding circumstances.
These simple dresses are sometimes Of cash
meres, sometimes OF cotton sateen, ginghams
| or flesh lowered lawn. A cashmere OF this kind
| in gems d'armes blue ia made with a perfectly
plain box pleated skirt. The plain waist is Set
| In belt and cut square, SO that little tucker
of pleated muslin can be inserted. and plain
| sleeves with pleating Of lace or muslin at the
| waist. The costume Is not complete without
an apron, not of toweling, but made Of a fringed
| towel with embroidered border and frneed bib
| and pockets. pretty dress Of lilac muslin is
| made with gathered skirt trimmed around-th
| bottom with putting and narrow founce.
The surplice waist is crossed and gathered into
| belt, and the full sleeves are gathered at the
| top. and also into nearly straight cuff which
| is trimmed with lace. A little muslin apron en-
broidered with English violets, in outline stitch
| and tied with wide string, was over this dress
| at spring ball. the wearer carrying a huge
| bouquet Of viOlets and another OF white rose
| buds.
Bingham dresses, when made for married
ladies' are In two pieces. or even three, but for
young girls they are made whole, either In the
| princesse form, or with the bodice gathered
| into belt and covered with o belt OF ribbon
when the apron is removed. The blouse bod
| Ice may, however, be considered an exception
| to this rule.
Walking clubs set good example In regard
to walking dress, and which serves also as q
suitable travelling dress. The most approved
| models consist Of q Jersey bodice, an unlined
| pleated skirt, and plain folds draped over the
| hips, but without sash ends. These form a con-
venient pocket at the side which Is Concealed
| and with q shoulder cape (pleated) and hat
(either Langtry, turban, Derby or shadel. the
costume is complete.
One point may be remarked that late walkino
gloves are gauntletted instead of wrinkled
| are of extreme beauty so far as form and fabric
are concerned, but the high eolors have entirely
disappeared except in the blending with the
India fabrics used for small spring dolmans and
the occasional pelsse. The reason of this 10 not
far to seek. Positive color in a mantle ~, ;,s
lining limits It's use. 1t can onIy be worn v,;,,,
certain costumes, and this is not onIv incon.

Rapid Growth of a Colt.

\ yearling colt in Mr.. Robert Bonner's
celebrated breeding stud, in Westchester
county, New York, weighs 1,062 pounds,
and yet is fine in all his points, and prom
ises to turn out fast trOtter Mr.. Bonner
thinks he gets this early exceptional size
from an experiment he tried with his dam.
Before the colt was weaned, he says he had
the mother brought up from pasture every
night, and fed six quarts of oats; and
since the colt has learned to cat he also
has been fed abundantly with oats, in addi-
ton to good pasture in the summer and
hay in winter. Following up this system,
Northern horse-breeders may get the same
size at as early an age as is now obtained
in our Southern States and the milder win
ters of California In the latter country
there is good pasture all winter, and the
colts receive no check in their growth, as is
common with all kinds of stock unless they
receive extra care during the rigorous
winter of the Northern States. Mr.. Bon
ner's treatment of this colt is the same as
that pursued by English breeders Of race
horses The dam is not only fed an abun-
dance of oats, but the colt is also taught to
eat them just as soon as possible, which he
learns to do at an early age from the same
trough as his mother At six months old
the general age for weaving the colt-he
has learned to sustain himself well on grain,
grass, and hay, 50 that when weaned there
is no check in his growth, but he keeps
steadily along the same as when sucking
his dam.-RuraL Neto Yorker.

suffice, and relief may be calculated or in
three hours at the utmost. Salt and wa
ter. about which one correspondent asks,
is very unsatisfactory dose, being irrita
ting to the mucous membrane when too
concentrated, and not at all calculated to
carry off irritating materials from the stom-
ach and bowels. Its main value is in re-
tarding fermentation in the contents, but
this is better effected by saleratus, ammo
MIA, hyposulphite of soda or carbolic acid.

More poultry and less pork. Why? l..
Chickens and eggs are more wholesome
food than hog meat. 2. A bushel of corn
fed to fowls will produce greater weight
of food than the same amount of corn fed
to hogs 3. And taking into account the
amount of nourishment in the two products,
and the comparative price, pork is almost
three times as costly food as poultry and
eoos.=Farmer's Rerien.

In commenting upon the fact that up
ward of $9,OO0,O00 worth of cottonseed
meal is annually imported into Great Bri-
tain to feed cattle, English agricultural au-
thorities style it the very best food import
ed, admitting that only by its use can Eng
lish grazers compete with the Americans.
It might be profitable for our cattle dealers
to take this hint and feed proper rations of
cottonseed meal.

Farmers who cultivate too much land,
expend more labor to secure their crops
than if their farms were smaller. Such
farmers seem tofalways endeavor to culti-
vate every part, and in SO doing, are COM
PEELED to slight their fields and crops, entail
greater expenses than should be necessary,
and reap less than if their energies were
confined to less space.
