"0h, the grasshopper sat
On the sweet potato Vine"

"0h, the grasshopper sat
On the sweet potato Vine"
Hi, therel DON'T throw away that
soap suds! l want it down at the bedp'
Of course, being Northern man, and
chuck up full of curiosity, naturally
Nwanted to know what in the name of
feather ticks and straw holsters any hu-
man being could want of a whole wash
tub full of soap suds at his bed. Soap
suds at bed seemed as relevant as a
clown at a funeral or fiddler in the
pulpit.
A little investigation unraveled the
mystery, when the wonderful fact was
revealed that it wasn't feather bed that
the man was talking about, but he simply
had reference to his stock of bedded
sweet potatoes.
Northern readers know very little of
the culture of the sweet potato. They
raise large patches of the so-called
Irish potatoes, and never give the sweet
potato a passing thought. For they
know that if they wished to cultivate it
the season is so short, and the approach
of the early autumn frost, which is so
deadly to The sweet potato, is SO certain,
that even if it were not "loves labor
lost" it would certainly be clear case
OF hard work and wasted seed.
Many Northern readers no doubt think
that sweet potatoes are planted the same
as is the Irish potato. Such, however is
not the fact. Sweet potatoes are bedded
in richly manured sand to sprout The
sprouting is hurried along by free APP
plication of soap suds to the beds When
the sprouts become about six inches
above ground they are pulled and set out
in rows, where they grow as readily as
do the Irish potatoes.
This is the home of the sweet potato
They grow here as plentiful as do beech
nuts around a Pennsylvania school-house.
Here the price seldom runs above so or
60 cents a bushel, while in the North the
same grade of potato will hardly ever
bring less than Is cents per peck, and
oftentimes bring price nearly if not
quite double that in the retail markets
In the North one of the staple food
productions is the Irish potato, where it
retails at an average of half dollar a
bushel. Ask the miner, the lumberman,
the railroad man or the farmer on what
crop he places the greatest dependence,
and he will tell you that as Il food supply
the Irish potato is nearest his heart He
can feed on it day after day and never
become cloyed 1t is next to bread as
table delicacy or standard article. The
Irish potato grows splendidly here, the
soil being just dry and sandy enough 10
produce tubers that are fine grained,
mealy and sweet. Two or three crops a
year can easily be produced, the first crop
early enough 10 strike the Northern mar
ket in May,whcn the price is high enough
to make it an object. Comparatively few
Irish potatoes are raised in the South,
am sorry to say, and nearly all that are
now raised are consumed before they have
a chance to ripen. | have not yet seen
single potato bug in the South. The
bugs are too sharp to fool away their
time down here. This piece of news will
be welcomed by Northern readers, | am
sure.

MISS JEAN L0UGHBOR0UGH.

With the incoming of the May days the
different clubs seem to vie with each other
in their ondeavors to have as many enter
tainments as possible before the arrival Of
warm weather. With the many guests who
have been attending the different eonVen-
tion8 which have been held here during
the week, the getty of Roses" seems to
have grown from twenty-five to fifty
thousand inhabitants.
The Knight Templars completely mon
opolized everything, being feted in every
way, and while they were enjoying the
good things of life at the ball, banquet,
and other convivialities; the excellent
ladies, their wives and sweethearts, SO
touchingly mentioned in the different toasts
upon Wednesday evening, and who really
know better what is for the good of the
genus homo than the genus homo knows
for himself, these ladies were earnestly
working with their W. c. T. U. to try and
establish prohibition, and every true
hearted woman wishes them success.

The Elks received their friends upon
Thursday from eleven o'clock in the morn

The parlor8 are richly carpeted and cur
tanned, and the plush furniture is very
handsome. The upright piano in the
parlor is adorned with an exquisite
pair of bisque statuettes, above which

On Tuesday evening the ball given to
the visiting Knights by the resident
Knights was an affair long to be remem-
bered for its brilliancy. The ladies from
abroad and those at home were gorgeously
attired, and with the costumes Of the Sir
Knights, the scene was brilliant, and re-
minded one Of the pictures Of the sixteenth
century. Wednesday evening was devoted
to the banquet, and the toasts and speeches
were very fine, 50 we are told, but not
being invited, the ladies think it was not
such success as it should have been.

SOME SUMNER WRAPS.

The noticeable feature IN wraps is their
size and the amount Of jet and lace expen.
ded upon them. =,
The dress wraps are usually black, in the
small mantalet FORMS sometimes of rich
silk or satin lined with silk and trimmed
with lace. 1.-THE small body part of the
wrap is ietted the sleeves and falling drapery
at the back are often of lace.
Small oil ietted wraps look we'll aud can
be easily made a. home, aud the cost will be
hardly more than hGlt as much as ii bought
ready made.
Small cloth wraps are principally in ecru
tints. and lined with silk and trimmed with
braid or chenille. Some straight scarfs are
lined with poppy red and braided with gold
in scroll pattern.
The wrap for everyday wear is the jacket
or short mantle visite, with dolman elbow
sleeves, made of light cloth, diagonal, plain,
serge, woven, amure or Ottoman welt.
The blue tintS, from blue blacks up to
blush grays, have precedence, or rather take
rank with the dark greens, olives or browns.

GEMS AND JEWELRY.

Gentlemen wear small and slender watch
chains without seal or ornaments.
Mother Of pearl is used in clasps for thin
summer dresses, and, when handsomely
carved, makes charming ornaments.
Beautiful clasps aud buckles are used
both for millinery and for dress decoration
this season and vary in price from two dol.
lars to ten or twenty; real Jewels are used
in some cases, particularly for decorations
for evening dresses.
Cork is an article which has been utilized
for the ornamentstion of costumes. 1t is
cut in very thin veueers and applied in some
small designs to the skirt and bodice. For
driving costumes it is more particularly
designed and some English women have al
ready appeared in costumes SO decorated.

cry and Fancy.
Even those disposed to railagainst Dame
Fashion must admit that she has, this sea-
son at least, placed her mark ofapproyai on
fabrics and models that must meet with
favor among all sensible people. There
certainly neveiwas time when the market
was so full of medium-priced, desirable
goods as now. For several seasons past
the variety in dress fabrics has continually
improved, and there are now so many ee
CANT notifications and Improvements on
existing styles that this springs exhibit OF
seasonable materials is almost unpreceden-
ted in beauty and variety. In street suits
elegant simplicity is one ofthe requirements.
Less trimmings will be used and more &C
complished in the way of fine effects in
straight and simple draping.
The healthfuluess and cleanliness OF
white, as well as the possibilities OF beauty
IN its various tints, is q great argument III
rs favor. 1t is said, and said truly, that the
accumulations of dust aud even odor IN
garments long worn and not cleaned, be-
cause their color conceals their condition, IS
not only an outrage upon all ideas of per-
sonal delicacy, but detrimental to health.
The more often clothes need washing the
better, and the cost of keeping them clean
ought to be part of every refined wounan's
calculations. Young girls, especially need
10 have the necessity Of cleanliness, as as
ISOLATED with healthfulness and a high
pure type of development, impressed upon
them much good would be accomplished
by using for our girls simpler but purer
materials, and expanding the money now
employed in bangles and SNOWY ornaments
in cleaning their white wooden or linen
dresses.
Fashion now admits of the wearing of I'M
dyed, unbleached and uudressed materials;
that is, materials in natural tints, without
stiffening or artificial coloring. The lovely
effect of the combination Of these delicate
natural tints can be seen IN the union OF
tinted whites with pale ecrus, the fax color
With natural brown, and the variety and
beauty to be obtained in shading from TIM
ted white to brown.
Yellow is as fashionable with white as it
is with black-not the deep, buttercup yell
low, but the tint of pale gold or coppery
yellow, which has decided suspicion Of ter
"a Gotta in. it. Ribbons, hosiery, gloves and
flowers of a pale yellow color are often
worn with white tints, and the most distin-
guished form of decoration is gold embroi-
dered in pure japanese thread upon white
cloth.
