Blue flannel and red flannel dresses are
made for girls country and travelling suits.

only ones that should be used for wall dec
orations.

goods, generally soft silk, adorn many sum-
mer frocks.
Egyptian and Arabian fancies in furnish
ing and decorating rooms are the caprice OF
the moment.
Velvet bonnet strings are being laid aside
for those of lace and gauzy stuffs, especially
gauze ribbons.
Bead embroidery ON the collars, cuffs and
waistcoats of dressy jackets are among other
decorative fancies.
Red silk jerseys are prettily worn over

A southern farmer says that hand labor,
instead of that by machinery, is a great
detriment in the former slave states. There
is an ingrained belief that it is cheaper than
any other, whereas the truth Is that 1t is the
most costly. He declares cotton should be
cultivated broadcast with the harrow, and
recommends the Acme for this purpose The
substitution of agricultural machines and
animal labor for handwork would reform
the whole system of agriculture in the south
He adds:
The general use of two-horse plows for
breaking and two horse chltvatofs and
other double implements for all other work,
except last blowing, would discharge in
South Carolina to-day &C, 900 able-bodied la
borers even If the old-style hoeing is con-
tinued Yet how often during the season do
we hear phrases like these: Crops grassy
for want of work. labor scarce and unre-
liabla

Told YOu So.

Here is the latest fashion news from Paris:
Although the regular visiting season has
almost come to Close the approaching
weddings and private festivities offer sufh-
Gent opportunity for the introduction of a
remarkable change in gentlemen's evening
dress, which made its appearance in Paris
last winter Short knee brooches were worn
there on all festive occasions, they do not
fit tighter than the usual long trowsWs, and
can be made, according to choice, Of either
cloth or satin. They reach below the knee,
are fastened with three buttons on the outer
seam, and finished off with band apd metal
buckle, or silk ribbon tied in full bow.
Black silk stockings and very low patent
leather shoes are an indispensable addition
to the short knee brooches.

Enrich the Meadows.
Live Stock Journal

These are sometimes worn threadbare
before we change them. Moreover, we do
not care to spare the time necessary for the
new seeding, where blowing is necessary in
order to bring the land again into grazing
condition. But, after all, it is hardly ever
necessary to destroy the old turf in order to
reiuvenate an old meadow A practice is
followed by many, and highly commended
by Youatt, of fertilizing and reseeding
without breaking up the soil. This
is done by spreading first upon the meadow
such manures as can be best procured-barn-
yard or bone-then following over this with
O rolling cutter The incisions of the cutter
will carry down to the roots of the grass
much of the manure, and supply immediate
nourishment Then, If the desired seeds are
sown, the rains which follow will wash them
into the loosened turf, together with the
liquid strength of the manures By this
process the old sward is Refrigerated and
loosened up from its mossbound condition,
besides insuring to the seeding immediate
growth. Half the seeds that are usually cast
upon the unbroken or uncut sod are wasted
for want Of an opportunity to terminate,
and unless they can be furnished access to
the soil itself they can not be expected to
aid the meadow very materially. This work
IF fertilizing and reseeding must be done
before the grass from the old turf has got
much of a start.
A frst.classs manure for grass lands is
such as is obtained from crushed bones or
phosphates of any kind. How often have we
noticed bow richly and luxuriantly the grass
springs up about an old bone Or carcass that
has lain, partly decayed, all winter upon the
sod. From this we get an idea of what the
pasture might be made if properly fortified
and tended, and to neglect the culture of the
grass lands is, on the part of the stockman,
as damaging as it is for the vine dresser to
neglect his vines, or the gardener his plants.
Good meadows carry us to market on fat
horses, with plenty of plump rolls of gilt
edge butter in the basket.

Wooden Lace Oyerdress.

Nothing is more stylish, or in general
way more useful, than black lace over
dress. Made separate, 1t can be worn at all
seasons, and over fall colors It dims the
glaring brightness of red or orange satin,
AND shows only dashes of brilliant color
through the meshes of the lace Over an
old, creased and worn black silk dress, it is
like charity, and covers a multitude of de-
fects. Worn above the appropriate over
dress, it serves in turn for carriage costume,
evening dress or walking gown. With a
little different draping, or color of ribbons,
it looks like separate costume every time
OF course, most ladies who can afford 1t
have the lace overdress of strong, fine silk
lace. But there are women who are Of the
salt of the earth, who cannot get the
costly lace garment. For these there
is something-well yes, it is as pretty
and graceful as the high-priced article
That is the wooden or yak laos poaonaise

Practical and Theoretical Chemistry.

Young gentlemen" said the lecturer in
chemistry, ''coal exposed to the elements
loses 10 per cent of its weight and power.
This is due to the action of the alkali con-
stituents Of
But what if there is a dog sleeping near
the coal, professors"
None of your levity, young man, this is a
serious NATTER
That's what dad thought when 70 per
cent. of his coal pile disappeared during three
nights of exposure. Then he asked my adj
vice as student in chemistry, and told him
to buy dog He bought dog with bay
window teeth, and the spring halt in his up
Ter lip, and now we don't lose one per cent Of
our coal a month. That's the kind of prac-
teal chemist am. Now go on with your
theory

At the third annual meeting of the Western
Kansas Stock Growers association, held re-
Gently at Garden City, it was practically de-
clded that western Kansas was no longer a
free country to those engaged ip the cattle
industry. The following resolutions were
read and adopted:
Resolved, That though we have kindly
feeling to all new corners, we deem it biit just
to say that there Is room for no more cattle
upon the ranges occupied by the members of
tine association, except such cattle as the
occupants of each range may choose to intro
duce.
Resolved, That considering the crowded
condition of Our ranges, parties taking up
dry claims on lakes dry most of the year will
be considered as intruders and treated as
such, as heretofore resolved

There is great danger that with low
prices for wool and great depression in the
mutton markets there will be panic"
among farmers to sell their sheep and go in
to some other business. Our advice is, don't
do it. By the time you have got well started,
wool win bring good price, and mutton be
in good demand, and you will wish you were
stocked with sheep again. The best course
is to keep steadily on; weed out of your flock
all the culls; seek to improve it both in the
quality and quantity of wool produced and
in the shape of body and tendency to make
mutton. A flock of sheep does much toward
keeping the farm free from noxious weeds,
and toward making the land richer. 1t is
safe to think twice before sacrificing the
sheep.

NOOLEN LACE POLONAlSE.
The illustration shows it. The goods comes
in the piece, and can be bought by the yard
like other fabrics. The overdress Is trimmed
with lace to match. The back breadth is
silk, though it may be made as well of the
lace too. A belt and broad ribbon sash
complete the stylish costume Following is
the description of a specimen toilet in
black wooden lace over pomegranate red: A
skirt OF pomegranate silk, yelled by lace
skirt which is plain at the front, shirred on
the sides, and very full at the back, forming
pleats; at the lower edge is a ruche made of
lace lined with pomegranate silk, and hang
ing over the back i'll two long ends is wide
sash of black MORE. The small visite- shaped
wrap Is covered with lace; the sleeves
form part of the back along the upper
arm, and contract so as to Join toward
the wrist; the back is half adjusted, and
terminates in basque with round pleats.
while the front forms square tabs, having
fiat double pleats that extend from top to
bottom, and are studded at regular inter
walls from the belt to the lower edge with
macaroons in pomegranate and black pas
sementerie; the collar, cuffs, and belt, which
crosses the basque part of the wrap on the
outside, are of passementerie, and along the
sleeve and shoulder seams are double rows
of pomegranate drop trimming, while at
the lower edge of the basque the silk is pro-
longed two inches beyond the lace outside
covering, and passemeDterie drop fringe
OF the same depth is set upon it. So pro-
nounced is the favor shown to all open-work
stuffs that some very handsome entire skirts
are being made of coarse passementerie in
black wool; these skirts are two inches
shorter than the skirt over which they are
worn, which is frequently made of red wool

Braided Trimmings.

Bralds and GALLONS, woven, brocaded and

TINS summer, They are arranged in the
guise OF bretelles on corsages, around the
lower edge of basques, at the wrist of sleeves
and extending up the seam, as a border ON
skirts and overskirts, and finally, the richest
and most striking are used to define panels
and tabliers ON skirts, and for ornamenting
wrappings of all shapes.

Little Girls Frock.

The graceful fashions that ruled so long in
children's frocks were showed aside by the
clumsy Mother Hubbard gown, which made
little girls, if not big ones, look the shape of
barrel But Mother Hubbard's day seems
drawing to a close We have a revival of
the pretty princess dress and other shapes
that outlined the plump cupid-like forms of
our babies somewhat Everybody with any
pretensions to taste ought to be glad of it.
Here is a jaunty costume for a small girl.
The low-neck frock is cut princess, open be-
fore down to the hips; then full short skirt
is gathered on. The goods is cut bias A

characteristics of Ameri-
cans The Evils and How
Restored.
In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take a high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its unframed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer.
icanpeople are fast, under these influences
developing into nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quail
fcations yet there is danger that in the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for. this widespread complaint,
but none of these have been SO successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DR.. S. B. Hart
man, and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S. S. Goudy, Of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep-
STA for several years; that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles OF the medi-
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and says il
is wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus s. Co., Springfield, O..
writes We are having a good SAFE for
PERUNA. 1t sells as well as any medicins
we have, and gives the very best satisfac.
ton"
Mrs. G. w. Necdham, Newtonville,
Clermont County, Ohio, says: have
been great sufferer for the last six or
seven years, with general debility and
change of life. / was very much reduced.
Ihave taken four bottles Of PERUNA, which
has restored me to perfect health and
strength. We think PERUNA safe and
grand medicine"
