THE HOME CIRCLE AND FARM.
Fashion Fancios.

Belts can be worn. with all waists.
They are narrow or wide according to
taste, Deep belts are not suitable for
women with short waists. Silver buck
les are much sought after when artist
cally chased. Young ladies' and misses
wear belts without buckles. These are
closed under 9 rosette or q ribbon bow.
The same bows are on the shoulder and
in front of the neck. The dIrectoire
sash is also worn. It is wide, OF soft
fabric, and is loosely tied on the side.
Silk jerseys are plain or have silver
and gold galloon trimmings. They are
in light shades, generally of the color
of the skirt with which they are worn.
They are also to be seen In contrasting
hues. Many percales have cream, put
ty, or gray grounds, with dark dots.
Suits of this material usually have pol
onaises trimmed and draped in various
ways. They may open over white bat
iste or white plated gauze chemisettes,
or button down to the waist, and they
are raised and taken back to form a
putting W finely plated skirt. These
dresses are much worn at the seaside
during the daytime. Young Partisan
ladies have red andrinople dresses
trimmed with red lace.
A revival emanating from the highest
quarters is that of the locket or pendant
worn at the throat with open dresses
lone of the few ornaments suitable and
becoming to all ages. Nothing unites
richness and simplicity more than q
Slittering diamond pendant or cross de-
pending from a narrow velvet neck.
band and worn with a clinging trained
evening dress CT pure white lace or
tulle. One in black is equally effective.
There is a promise that black silk
dresses will be in uncommon vogue the
coming Autumn and Winter. When
good, no material is more elegant or
seryicable. Tucks, both wide and mar
row, upon fiounces, kits and bodice,
will be very popular with the palmer
styles, and rich lace, costly sppiiques
in chenille and Jet, and panees and
tabliers of broclle, with large raised
flowers Ill velvet, will make them ex-
ceedingly elegant.
The silk braidwork, which was so ex-
tensively used upon last seasons street
costumes, will remain a favorite garni-
ture for autumn suits. Many of the
cloth dresses from Paris are severely
made in regular tailor fashion, but with
a new departure in the shape of elab-
crate embroideries. The stylish New
markets and Louis XIV. jackets, with
their perfect fitting and handsome waist
coats which accompany these costumes,
are finished with q rich braidwork in
arabesque designs, and in many in
stances the killing which reaches from
belt to hem is nearly covered with braid
embroidery. The back drapery is
wholly untrimmed, but the waistcoat
collar, very wide pocketfaps and cuffs
are each covered with braiding In a de-
sign particularly formed for each sepa-
rate portion.

Broken Bones.

A doctor should, of course, be sent
for in most cases, as it is difficult to de-
termine the character of the fracture.
But the fracture of lin arm bone, es-
pecially in the case of children, their
bones are not yet br~ittle,-may be like
that Of a green twig, partly bent and
partly broken.
In this case, IL the arm can be
Strengthened without much, if any,
pain to the child, the parent may him
self bring the parts into place, keep
them so with splints and bandages, and
otherwise support the arm.
A broken bone heals Of itself almost
as readily as a cut muscle. Rest-ab-
solnte rest, no movements of the frac-
tured surfaces on each other-is the
main thing.
But If the fracture is III two or nor
places, or the bone is broken into small
pieces, on q jagged end is thrust into
the flesh, the doctor, of course, should
be called.
If the hand or foot has been badly
crushed, immerse it in quite warm wat
er, and keep it there till the doctor
comes.
Perhaps he may conclude to let 1t re-
main until the inflammation has subsidized
two or three days before he extracts
the broken bits.
Hot water has wonderful power to
relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and
promote healing. Hands have thus
been saved for quite good service, which
aad been crushed under trip-hammer.
In the case of a broken leg, don't lift
40 the wounded person. The Jagged
snds Of the bone may badly lacerate tbs
flesh. Get some door from its hinges
3r something Of the kind-and let the
person draw himself on to it, and into
such a posture as he may find least
painful. In this case, too, absolute
rest Of the parts is the one condition of
cure.
OF late years the plaster-of-par
bandage has, to a large extent, taken
the place 81 splints. It is vastly superb
or every way and with it the person
may sooner be allowed some use Of his
limbs.-Youth's Companion.

Feeding cattle In Dry weather.

If the pasture, because of drought or
from any cause, gets short the latter
part of the summer or during the au-
tumn, it puzzles many a farmer to know
what to do with his stock. 1T will not
answer to let them be pipched and suffer
for want of food. 1t seems too early to
begin on the mows of hay that are safe
ly stored for the winter supply, and dry
cattle at pasture are not wanted In the
stables at this season of the year. The
corn-field will solve the problem. III
there are any parts of it where the yield
will be small and of an inferior quality,
cut and feed it green to the cattle; and
if there is none of this sort, then use
what would make good corn, and do not
feel that it is a wasteful or
a costly way of feeding. With
the pasture which the cattle may
be able to obtain, very few stalks, if
they have a r on them, will be re-
quired by each animal per day; and if
fed in o proper quantity, scarcely q
yestige of them will be left. No labor
will be expended on corn fed in this
way for husking, Smelling, and grind
ing.
Should the corn-ield be at consider
able distance from the stable or pas
ture, a quantity sufficient to last for two
or three days could be hauled at one
time and placed IN shocks. Soon after
theregular corn-cutting has commenced,
although the corn may not be dry
enough to husk, a large quantity of it
may be husked as fast as the stalks are
required for feeding, provided the corn
is placed in an open, airy, place, where
it will not mould. 1t is false economy
to save the cornstalks and pasture the
meadows closely. Cornstalks kept un.
til March are not worth more than half
as much for feeding as during the au-
tumn. The bit Of rowen which is
cropped off in order to have cornstalks
last until spring will be many times
more valuable next June, and will be
seen in the increased hay croy.-Cor-
respondence Country Gentleman.

There is not much difference in the
cost Of blowing, tillage, seed, sowing
harvesting and the interest on the land,
whether a field yields ten or thirty
bushels to the acre. Whatever may
cause land ordinarily capable Of pro-
ducing a yield Of the lowest figure, To
reach q crop equal to the higher figure,
will, therefore, produce nearly clear
profit. save the cost Of the cause. Be-
sides the benefits will last for d number
of years, d point that should
not be overlooked. When the
propriety Of increasing the stock
Of manure for wheat land is beng con-
sidered this point should be kept
strongly in mind, for manure alone on
ordinary soil ccn easily effect such q
difference. Aside from stable manure,
300 pounds OF good bone super-phos-
phate to the acre makes a good dress

How He Made Her work.

A writer in notes and queries sup.
plies the following amusing anecdote
A lad married a lazyrich girl, and made
a VOW that he would never beat her.
Now, the mistress went about from
house to house talking and making mis-
chief, but never did anything at home,
Still the lad never beat her. One
morning, as the husbanJyss going out
to work, he said to the cat, lyon cat, !
command you to do every thing while !
am a way-cook my dinner, tidy the
house, and get some spinning done. Ii
You don't pi give you such q thrashifg
as You have never had in your life" The
woman thought her husband was mad,
and asked him why he gave his
orders to the cat. because / have no
one else to give orders to-
replied the husband, "and whether
she understands or not, woe be to her
4 She does not carry out my commands
90 the man went to work, and the
wife warned the cat to do as she was
bid; but the cat blinked on, and the
wife went q gossiping, and so night
came and nought was done. When the
man entered and saw h faE matters stood,
ne took the cat by its tail, fastened it to
his wife's back. and began to beat it nm
m~ercifully. Don't beat that cat any
morel" cried the woman. Mercy stopl
The cat doesn't understand" evil
you do the work instead Of her." said
the man. Yes, yes; only stop beating
tnat cat" Next morning the cat re-
ceiyed the same warning, and evening
saw the same scene enacted as before.
On the third morning the cat was in
an agony Of terror and fled, but the
woman listened, and that day nought
was left undone; for the ends ofthe two
.nonged whip reached some one else's
pack besides the cats, and the animal
stuck its claws through all in its pain.
mat night all was done when the
husband returned, and he said, Don't
pe afraid, cat; / will not thrash you
now" Ever after that the cat had no
more beatings, and the mistress became
such 9 good housewife that you could
not wish for q better.

DEACON Maryin,g courtship.

At this distance of time we are keenly
Alive to the oddities that are not sell
dom found mingled with the piety Of
the Puritan settlers of New England,
and which was exhibitedin many phases
Of their social life. The old story of
the blunt minister's matrimonial errand
on horseback condensed into the crisp
brevity of Betty, it is the Lords will
that you marry me" and Betty's answer,
"The Lords will be done" has appar-
emily passed through many versions,
and the following may be the original
in all it's quaint and almost grotesque
details. The Hartford Courant at least
youches for it as accurate biography,
and an actual occurrance of the old
times, in Lyme, CT.
In the former days of the good old
town there was an eccentric Deacon
Marvin living in single life, who became
impressed with the feeling that he
ought to marry Miss Betsey Lee, a
spruce young maiden whose home was
on the outskirts of the town, and who
was q devoted member of the same
church with himself.
Accordingly, mounting his horse on
Monday morning, clad in the garments
of the preceding day, he leisurely pro-
ceeded towards the home of Betsey,
meditating. as he went, on the joys of
matrimony; and arriving there, knocked
at the door, when the young lady re-
sponded in person to the call.
Though Nlst emerging from the wash
room in homespun blue kirtle with
arms bare to the shoulders, she showed
no embarrassment at the sight of the
young deacon, and only an additional
touch of color mounted to her face.
The first salutations being over, the
visitor still sitting on his horse, proceed
ed without further delay to state his
business as follows:
"Miss Betsey Lee,
The Lord reveals to me
That you my wife should be-"
The bare arms were then slowly
lifted up, the eyes turned in the same
direction, the open palms displayed,
and the response deliberately given,
Deacon Marvin, the Lords viii be
done"
1t was the custom of those good old
days, and a legal requirement, that the
banns of intended marriage should be
published in the church or some other
public place at least three weeks before
the consummation of the nuptials. In
the meantime it appears that the parents
of both the agreeing parties made objec-
tions to the match between the Deacon
and Betsey, but unsuccessfully, and
the banns we're nailed upon the
church door at the end Of three weeks,
written in the deacon's own hand, he
being the town clerk:
NOTICE.
Reynolds Marvin and Betsey Lee
Do both intend to marry:
And though our dads opposed be,
We can no longer tarry.
Many years they lived together hap
PLY, and served well their generation.
True to his former characteristics, just
before the ending of life, the deacon
wrote his own epitaph to be inscribed
on his grave-stone, and it may be
read by visitors in the ancient ceme-
terry in Lyme:
Close behind this stone
There lies ai5ne
Captain Reynolds Marvin,
Expecting his wife
When ends her life.
And we both are freed from sarvin.
