GORGEOUS Wedding Dress.

The wedding dress Of Miss Carrie As
tor, the New York heiress who will be
married in November, is now being
made in PARIS, and will be sent over the
first of November. It is described as
follows:
It is to be Of a very heavy pearl white
satin, made with full princesse train,
which will be bordered by plisse of
The satin and on the edge ruching Of
fine point lace in a wild-rose design.
The front is to be covered with ruf1es
Of rare point lace that belonged to Miss
Astor's grandmother. The lace will
not be cut, but will cross over in
dounces, and at the sides will be caught
down in a twist and held by cluster
Of orange blossoms and pearls. The
corsage will be cut square and bordered
with the lace, while the sleeves, slight
ly puffed on the shoulders and reach
ing to the elbow, will be met by long
white kid gloves, which are being made
to order to fit the slender little hands
of the bride. The slippers are to be
made of the dress materials, and en-
broidered in white pearls, while the
stockings will be of the finest white
silk. The veil will probably be of il
fusion. There is rare old-point- lace
veil in the family and this may be worn,
although tulle is more becoming and
preferred by the bride. It will be fas-
tened by half wreath of apple bios
SONS and caught by diamond pins.
She will wear other diamond jewels and
carry a large bouquet of roses and lilies
of-the-vally, surrounded by maiden
hair ferns.

Where Mother Pound Her Child

From the San Jose Herald.
Mrs. William Kennedy. who lives on
Fourth missed her four year-old son
Carl, and in a state Of great anxiety
made search for him up and down the
various streets in that vicinity, when
she was attracted by seeing some people
running wildly about on the corner Of
Fourth and St. James sts., and upon
approaching the dwelling house Of Dave
Williams, nearly tainted with terror
when she saw the frightened people
pointing with their fingers to her little
son, who was hanging to a ladder on
the windmill tank seventy or eighty
feet from the ground. One little hand
grasped the ladder and with the other
one he was reaching out for some pig
cons that were sitting almost within
reach. The mother realized the awful
peril of her little son, but with a hero
ism seldom seen she called to the child
in firm voice, saying: "Come down,
Carl, and mamma will give you q
peach" The little fellow looked eau
tiously around over his shoulder, and
seeing his mother, started to descend,
while the group stood with faces up
turned, blanched with terror for fear
he should lose his hold and be dashed
to pieces; but he came safely down, and
as he approached the last rounds of
the ladder he said: II am coming
mamma" and the oyerjoyed mother.

Latent Power of Manure,

Sir J. B. Lawes says, in the North
British Agriculturist, that it does not
follow, as a matter of course, that al
though the application Of manure has
produced no effect upon the growing
crop: it may not prove effective at some
future time. Years afterwards, when
perhaps all recollection of the applica-
ton has passed away, or. possibly
when some unaccountable luxuriance
on certain portions of field may
indicate the battle-ground of ma
nure which was supposed to have
failed. In one of his experiments at
Rothamsted, in the year 1914, about
two thirds of an acre of land was ma
nured with a considerable amount of
potash and phosphate Of lime. The
crop was wheat, and the produce was
ISL bushels per acre. As the land
which received no manure whatever
yielded crop of Is bushels per acre,
it was evident that the manure had
practically failed. In the following
year salts of ammonia were applied, and
the produce was 317-8 bushels per
acre.

Prohibition in Prince Edwards
Island.

Toronto Mail: Whisky becomes a
very popular medicine in countieswhere
the Scott act has been carried. In
Prince County.P. E. l., for instance,
ten gallons of whisky are prescribed to
every gallon of port wine. One drug
gist has filed daily from three to fif-
teen prescriptions calling . for whisky,
and on the day before Christmas noless
than thirty zone prescriptions were filed
by the same vendor. It seems that in
Prince Edward Island the people take
their physic before the Christmas feast
instead of after: it, as here. Nor does
homeopathy appear to have made its
principles felt on the island. One sick
man had. four pints Of brandy in one
day, another three pints, and three 9th
ers two pints EACH, Spirits are being
used in great quantities on the tight lit
tie island for medicinal purposes, and
it would be well if the Medical Associa-
ton would enquire how it happens that
so many cases require treatment with
alcohol Perhaps it is q peculiarly Of

rather than to those IL the country.
Surely; che average rural burying
ground does not merit such an enconi-
UNI. It is too often Is desolate in ap-
pearance as it is solemn in its associa-
dons; It is frequently i livingexample
Of the adage that . "what = is
everybody's :, business IS i, snobody's
business The fence enclosing it is
often dilapidated and sometimes pros
trate, or wanting;s the thorns and
thistles grow unmolested, while the
weather-beaten stalks of lust years
weeds are monuments, not to the men,
DRY of the dead, but to the sshiftlessness
of the living. ,.
All will agree that it would be count
ed disgrace for city to permit it's
cemetery to become Jungle. Why is
the same thing less disgraceful in
the country? Are the expenses of
living, or are taxes less brdensome in
the city than In the country? Are we
willing to admit that people living in
the city are less worldly minded? If
it is true that farmers take too little
pride in the appearance of their
premises; it is not less true that they
show too little respect both for the
dead and the living, in their burying
grounds.-Rural New Yorker.

Bayadere stuffs in Jaunty Costumes

Bayadero stuhs in Jaunty Costumes.
New York Letter in Cincinnati Enquirer.
Many women are usuing the bayadere
striped stufs which are brought out
among fall novelty fabrics for skirts of
their travelling dresses and utility cos
tunes. With the simplest materials
they contrive to produce pretty suits, of
which the following may be taken as a
sample: The skirt is composed of
wide blue and red bayadere stripes chat
means horizontal bands not vertical
lines), the blue stripes being wider than
the red ones, thus making blue the pre-
dominant color. The tur1c is Of fine
blue serge, turned up at the edge with
striped revers. The plated corsage Of
the same serge is open at the neck over
a plastron of the striped material, the
stripes running across the chest, as IN
waistcoats worn under sailor blouses.
The moderately tight sleeves have cuffs
of the striped stuff. Now, is not that
a pretty model, containing a great deal
of suggestion for other suits in other
cOlOrs.

FARM; FIELD and FIlllllRiESiDE



A Britishspotsman repels flies from
dorses by lightly sponging the mech
and launches with kerosene. During
the first three miles of q recent Journey
The pests distressed and leased his thin
skinned, spirited steed almost beyond
endurance, but after the application OF
ol, and during the remaining eleven
miles of the trip, though still pursued
by thousands of the winged bores, not
one ventured to alight and present his
bill. :"
The Kansas Cowboy says that gen
tleman remarked to the editor that the
recent rains would be the ruin Of many
a granger. Why? Because, I" said he,
"this is not country for the pillow, but
for stock; and this is an exceptional
year, such as has not been known since
the settlement by the most adventurous
ranchmen and the grangers will regard
it as conclusive evidence that every
year will produce crops, and will ex-
pend their last dollar trying: only to
bring ruin upon them and their fami-
lies"

Farmers Errors.

Formerly barn needed roomy
threshing- floor, whereon to swing the
fails. No such thing is needed now.
Two rows of posts, some beams, girts
and braces, and tight roof and walls
are sufficient. An excellent COW stable,
with all the modern improvements, can
be built for S. per COW, and how much
better to have 100 COWS in SIS stalls,
than COWS in 500 stalls. Another
capital error--because waste of capital
us to keep poor horses and COWS. A
$50 horse is not worth one-fourth as
much as one that is worth 800. It
will eat as much and cost as much for
harness, and will neither do as much
work nor live 50 long A 500 COW, that
makes three pounds of butter in week,
costs as much for everything, labor
and utensils. included, as one worth
800 and makes ten pounds week.
Another error is to work poor land.
Many man has broken his back and
lost his heart on poor farm which he
has suffered to run down by bad man
agement. He has spread his labor and
capital ever 100 acres, when by confin-
ing himself to twenty-five or thirty, he
might have become happy and rich.
The way to repair such a capital error
is to begin with Que field and get that
into good condition, and let the rest lie,
and so go through the farm. One rich
field will then make 1t easy to enrich
another Or two; and while the begin
ming is slow, it is downhill work, and
as the end is nearly reached progress is
fast and easy. The worst of all capt.
tai errors is for the farmer to neglect his
own improvement and cultivation. A
man who has $4,000 in farm and
stock, may easily have twice as much in
himself and make his work pay 10 per
cent. on his value. He is the greatest
part of his capital and it is the greatest
of all errors to misuse himself.-N.J. 81.

The Fighting Parson Of Texas

ne E1&0C108 5aE8Ou OF i oxes8s
From the Galveston Texas) News IT,:
Texas still has some pioneer preach
ers. Tue San Angela Standard reports
briefly sermon delivered in that place
by Andrew Jackson Potter, the fighting
parson. Among other things, he said {:
II have preached out here on the from
tier for the past Is years, and l. lived
and supported large family. I must
say, though, I.got most Of my support
from the cowboys. Years ago, where
the town of Uvalde now stands, I have
skipped from thicket to thicket in my.
endeavors to escape from the lcaden
bullets that were flying around in order
to reach little old log house where: I
could preach to few women and chill
dren. Now, look at the Uvalde to-day
with it's five fine churches, whose spires
point heavenward. went to Fort Clark
to preach several years ago, and started
in without church member and at the
end of - months I quit withouta mem
Der. Thought that was the hardest place
I had struck. One day, just after the
boys had been paid off, I was walking
up the street and noticed a lot of SOL
diers and gamblers in front of saloon.
As was passing, one of them hollered:
'Hullo Parsonv went across, and
they asked me to preach, saying this
was the biggest crowd I'd ever have an
opportunity to talk to in Bracket. I
said: Gentlemen, preaching is my bust
ness, but I always make it rule be-
fore beginning to take up collection.
Fifty cents is the regular donation
Taking off my hat l started around.
All that presented the hat to threw in
SO cents until I came to young gam
bier. He looked at the hat, shook his
head, saying, PEARSON, I'd like to chip
in, but I'm busted I got more money
in that place than any have been IN.
Holding services at a place one time I
took up a collection for the support of
missions. There was poor old lady
present who I noticed dropped a FIVE
dollar gold piece in the hat. I knew
she was very poor and notable to afford
so much, and thought she had intended
to throw in a quarter, but made a mis-,
take. So next day I met her husband
and said to him: Look here, your wife
put q fve-dollar gold piece in the hat

made mistake. rs No, no, he replied,
