| Embroidery en- tulle and lace is tn,
most fashionable trimming for summe
dresses. It is used in founces and fol
drapery and for covering the entire sill
lining of the waist.
Full plated oVerskirts are fashiona

| puff with plated ruffie below.
Newly imported wraps with grenadine
grounds embossed with velvet leaves and
diamond shapes; edges beaded with cut
jet and trimmings of lace, are very efee-
tive. Price from S125 to $175.
Quaint and becoming bonnets for lit
tie girls are made of red, pink, blue, or
cream null, with tucked and shirred
crows made over square frames, with
curtain and brim finish of silk en-
broidered null.
Epaulets of plated lace, bows of rib
bon, or clusters of satin or velvet leaves
are fashionable, as they give the high
shoulder effect now in vogue. A triple
cluster of large ostrich tips is more fash
ionable than a corsage boquet, and is
placed on the left side of low corsages.
Trimmings Of rich and massive pat
tern are used to decorate plain materials
and take the place of large figured stuffs.
These trimmings are not continuous, but
form separate pieces of fruit, flowers or
leaves. They are gimps of cords and
beads from which are pendant cherries,
grapes, acorns or currents. They are
also made of black bugles or of fride
scent beads or of opaque beads all OF
one color.
White talle sprinkled with seed pearls,
black tulle with gold beads, red tulle
with garnet, and pale yellow with am
Der beads, are made up in puffs over
satin for the new dress bonnets for
spring and summer receptions. Terry
velvet bows and marabout aigrette are
the trimmings. Embroidered tulle and
lace are used for crowns, and the plain
black tulles are made over gilt wire |
frames, and trimmed with black aigrettes1
tipped with marabout.
The materials for riding habits should |
be either broadcloth, kersey, castor or
English melton, in black, navy blue or
hunters green, costing from 81 to SIS
yard To be elegant and stylish, to
secure perfect fit, the habit should be
made by tailor. The most stylish
habit is bound with braid, and the but
tons are of ivory. The skirt is cut
shorter and graduating, so that the
longest portion is where the length of
the skirt is taken up in the saddle, max

Systematic VS.. slipshOd Farming.
Colorado Farmer.l

4 r
The fact that farmers, as a class, liv
with tolerable comfort and die short Q
bankruptcy, proves this occupation t
be the most profitable one ever engages
In. Let any person who thinks this i
assuming too much, study the compare
tive methods of carrying on variou
kinds of business.
The farmer who knows how much am
product costs him, after the first invest
ment of purchase, is a rare bird
Whether certain kind of feed pays
converted into certain meats, he car
only tell by guess. Precisely the cost
per acre Of his last years wheat crop Is
problem he has not studied, though he
may have mastered the calculus ten
years before. Whether barley or beans
may be most in demand in his market
doesn't appear in the calculation.
Everything goes" to use the slang of
the period.
Apply this lack of plan to any other
business you will, and see the result.
A dry goods merchant who does not
keep careful book accounts, goes to the
wall. Fifty to one he goes there any
way.) The grocer who does not care
fully study the needs of his market soon
shuts up shop.
Let livery man keep a number of
horses more than he needs, or horses un-
suited to those needs. The livery busi-
ness will sink him. Yet the farmer
leaves plenty of horses standing round
that are not at all what he needs, and
great many more than he needs, and
they only eat their own heads off-not
his. He keeps cows that consume
enormously and give milk short in guam
tity or thin in quality, and finds that
this poor management does not throw
him very deeply in debt.
Let real estate or insurance agent
fail to make the very most of every op-
portunity to "turn an honest penny"
and he has to make his living by turn |
ing dishonest ones. The farmer though, |
leaves honey wasting in his fields and |
buys glucose-syrup. He throws away
his buttermilk and buys lard by the |
pound. He fails to set out fruit trees,
shrubs and vines, and buys natural
acids, or does worse by going without. |
He leaves the chicken house too foul to
do even for fowls, and finds chickens
don't thrive in the West. He lets
straws and manure lie in unused masses
about the place, and discovers that his
and isn't as fertile as he had used to
.hink it. He turns his cattle out on the
plains and buys his butter.

Train the Boys for Business.

There is one element in the home in
struction of boys to which too little
attention has been given; and that is the
cultivation of habits of punctuality,
system, order, and responsibility.
In many households boys'- lives be-
tween twelve and seventeen years are
generally the calmest of their existence.
Up in the morning just in season for
breakfast; nothing to do but to start of
early enough not to be too late; looking
upon an errand as taking 90 much time
and memory away from enjoyment
little thought of personal appearance
except when reminded by mother to
spruce up" a little; finding his ward
robe always where mother puts it; in
fact having nothing to do but enjoy
himself. Thus his life goes on until
school ends. Then he is ready for busi-
ness. Vain thought! At this point he,
perhaps, meets with his first great strug-
gle. Many times during our business
experience have we witnessed failures
caused by the absence of thorough home
discipline. How the boy without this
great advantage fails is thus fairly de-
seribed by the Scientific American:
He goes into an Office where every
thing is system, order, precision. He is
expected to keep things neat and order
". sometimes kindle fires, or do errands,
in short, to become a part of nicely
regulated machine, where everything
moves in systematic grooves, and each
one is responsible for correctness in his
department, and where, in place of min
isters to his comfort, he finds taskmas-
tiers, more or less lenient to be sure. and
everything in marked contrast to his
previous life. In many instances the
change is too great. Errors become
very numerous; blunders, overlooked
at first, get to be matter OF serious
moment; then patience is overtasked, and
the boy is told his services are no longer
needed. This is the first blow, and
sometimes he never rallies from it. Then
comes the surprise to the parents, who
too often never know the real cause, nor
where they have failed in training their
children.
What is wanted, is for every boy to
have something special to do; to have
some duty at a definite hour, and to
learn to watch for that time to come
to be answerable for certain portion of
the routine of the household; to be
trained to anticipate the time when he
may enter the ranks of business, and to
be fortified with habits of energy, accu-
raey, and application, often of more
importance than superficial book learn
ino

Alcoholic Consumption.

DR.. Richardson, F. r s., of England,
was the first to discover that while con
sumption, in the majority of cases, is
due to hereditary taint, or to impure
air and bad surroundings, in certain
proportion of cases it is due solely to the
drinking Of alcoholic liquors.
He gathered his views from the careful
study Of twa thousand cases in 3 hos
pital Of which he was the physician,
Thi5discoyery, published 'hyshim in 1864,
has been confirmed by other observers
since.
The victims are in middle life, OF great
natural endurance, often models of or
panic symmetry and power, and active In
mind and body. The very perfection
81 their organization makes them feel
wholly safe IN their indulgence. Though
they can drink hard, they are not IN the
ordinary sense, drunkards.
They lock the picture of manly strength
and robust sheafth. Says DR.. Richardson,
More than half Of those whom hare
seen stricken down with alcoholic phth-
isis have said that they had never bad
4 davis illness in their lives. but when
eIoseIvanestioned It vas found that none
had recently been quite vel. z
The ailments, however, we're such as
the alcohol had already induced, an adj

| of note except two, are with Baptists or
Rem-6:4, which, if all these comments
tors were not mistaken, settles the ques-
tion. We have given the testimony of
the very flower and glory of Pedo-bap-
tist scholarship, men whom the world
will believe en- any question where no
prejudice is involved: Calvin, Luther,
Wesley, ,,Koppe, Tillotson, Mcknight
Liddel. Scott, ETC., etc.
f. The Doctor has presented goodly
number of baptisms where there is no
literal immersion, as the altar on Car
mel, which was baptized Just as a man
is said to be clipped all over in dew"
tropically. We have shown that these
uses are fgurative by such authority as
Prof. Sophocles, Liddel and Scott. Then,
too, we have furnished parallel passages
in English where the meaning is clear.
One thing is to be observed: All of
DR.. Hunters efforts are TO get away from
the primary, literal, plain meaning
of the word used by Christ to enjoin
his will. Is this not Significant? Is it
not certain that Christ meant his words
to be understood in their plain sense.
Laws are not written in fgurative Ian
guage.
Reader, with this testimony before you
if you would walk in plain path what
would you do?
Believing with all our heart that they
are true, we close with these honst words
Of DIR. Schaff, for whose learning and
honesty DIR. Hunter must in his heart feel
respect:
''On strictly eregeticaE end historical
grounds baptism must be immersion. With |
out prejudice, no other Interpretation
,could ener hare been gicea to the Bible
baptism. u is the most Natural interpreta-
ton, and such are must aI,Cdys give. In
nersion is natural and historical; spyink-
ling is artjfeiol-an erpedieat for cOnveaice
sake"
May it be given to all of us to read
Gods word without prejudice, and walk
in plain path.

The Baltimore Day began with New

more" or Cumberland. In fact, it
would matter less to send the poor
away for as q rule they have fewer
friends han the insane. The ''hcavy
taxpayers" some of whom reside out
side of the city, have, therefore, no
real'interest in building and main
tanning county asylum at Cumber-
land as against established institutions
arther east. The parties most in in.
terest are the literally paid almoners
of the city-the grocers, boot, shoe
and clothing merchants. If it were
possible, these are the taxpayers who
should build an institution from
which they are to derive all the in
cidental profit.
But no snch consideration should
control in this matter. An institu-
ton for the protection of the untor-
tunate and the care Of the diseased
should be established where the
larger number of hygienic advantages
prevail. Pure air and water warmth
in winter; in summer shaded shelter
and good food, are the prime objects
to secure. In some Of these Frost
burg is the equal in location of the
almshouse property; in what remains
superior. And inasmuch as the asy-
lum is to be a moneysavlng rather
than a money-making establishment,
we suggest that our citizens begin
moving toward gaining its establish
ment as provided both by law and a
vote of the people. Then let us help
Cumberland bear its burdens by Sc
curing it's location here.
