How They, Can BE Kept just rs Attrac-

A vegetable garden may be made to
look quite pretty and inviting by simply
running paths through it, and in plant
ing and sowing the seed along the same
for border or edging. Most vegetable
gardens are a labyrinth, a maze, a
tangle; there is no way of getting
around or through them; one can go SO
far and no farther can view the land.
scape DER from point or two, can see
that there is a forest of corn, a patch OF
potatoes, few sprigs of lettuce, and
generally plenty of weeds. There seems
to be so little ground to spare IN the
country, every inch seems to be OF SO
much consequence that none can be
wasted in paths. But / think path,
instead of being a waste, is q great adj
vantage, for the sun gets a chance to
warm the ground, and makes the veg
etables much sweeter and earlier. Now

laid it out with straight paths, the main
paths being FIVE feet wide, and are Dor
dered with satisfy and parsnips; the
narrower paths, between the beds, are
eighteen inches wide, and can be bor-
dered with fern leaved parsley; it makes
beautiful edging, and grows hand
somer as the season advances. Every
thing should be planted in straight rows;
mine runs east and west as that offers
less resistance to the west wind, and
everything looks much neater, the wind
not having chance to confuse things

POULTRY FENCES.
How a Cheap, yet Durable Lath Fence can
be Constructed.

How cheap, yet Durable Lath renee can
be Constructed.
Everybody knows how to make a
fence for the poultry yard, but every
body does not know how to make
cheap fence. Fences are very expensive,
and any plan that enables person to
make fence in such manner as to cost
but little and yet be serviceable, will al
ways be adopted. The cheapest fence
is made oflath, but Slless it is,well made
it is worthless. The desire should be to
have the fence as strong as possible, and
the weakest place is near the bottom.
The objection to lath fence is that dogs
sometimes break through, not intention
ally on the part of the dogs, but because
the fence will not withstand pressure.
To make good, strong, durable lath
fence, six feet high, the panels may be
eighth feet. Having placed the posts
eight feet apart, procure some good
Smuggling strips (shingling latin, and
securely nail the bottom strip from post
to post, and six inches above the ground.
Nail the next strip exactly eighteen
inches above the first one. Thus the first
strip will be six inches above the ground,
and the second strip being eighteen
inches above that will consequently be
two feet from the ground. The third
Cor top) strip should be nailed three
feet above the second, or five feet from
the ground. Now, nail to the bottom
strip half laths. As lath is four feet
long, a half lath will be two feet in
length. Let the bottom touch the ground.
Nail the lath to the two strips, the bot
tom of each lath, of course, being on
the ground; the top of the lath is nailed
to the second Cor middle) strip. Place
the half laths one inch apart, which will
keep in the chicks as well as the larger
fowls. Here it will be noticed that you
have strong, close, good fence,
with the cross strips only eighteen
inches high, and six inches only from the
lower strip to the ground, but the fence
is only two feet high Having made
the fence only two feet high, but close
and strong, you now desire height.
This is made of the whole lath, which is
nailed to the middle and top strips, but
instead of being only one inch apart,
two inches will be close enough. The
fence will thus be six feet high and dur
able. The practice of mailing whole
laths with half lath above it, is here
reversed, as we place the half lath at the
bottom, and the whole lath at the top.
There are several advantages to be
gained by so doing. First, the strips
are brought close to each other, making
the pressure against two strips instead
of one. The half lath can be placed
closer together with economy, than with
the use Of the whole lath. Should it be
desired, the whole lath may be at Three
inches apart, as full security of connect
ment is made by the lower. 1t is
cheaper to repair rotten half lath than
a whole one, and as such fences usually
begin to give out at the lower part first,
this is great advantage. Such fence
combines strength, cheapness and ef-
ficiency, and can be made by any ONE

Details for Ladies Anxious to Save Labor
and Money.
A simple and new way of finishing
the back forms of basques is to shape
them in four scallops, one in each form,
and line them with satin. Below
these are two larger scallops gathered
at the top and sewed under
meath the two middle scallops
of the four forms. In other basques,
especially those of velvets, only two
scallops are seen, one in each of the
middle forms of the back. The short
side forms are then separated about
two inches from these and pointed be-
low. An easy and stylish way of trim
ming sleeves is to use inch-wide galloon
or else velvet ribbon instead of cuffs.
Begin by sewing it at the end of the
sleeve at its outside seam, crossing to
the inside seam, then taking it gradually
upward far enough to come back on the
front Just above the row that is
already there, stopping there when half
way across, finishing by turning in the
ends in point. The economist is adj
vised to use watered silks in remodellng
last seasons dresses of cloth or of vel
vet, and in combining with cashmere
for house dresses. Black cashmere
draped over black watered silk remains
favorite for house dresses. 1.-THE hello
trope colors are also especially liked in
these two fabrics. A smooth cloth
basque of dark brown, red, gray or blue
is in great favor for wearing with skirts
left over from last winter, and is in
keeping with skirts of striped woolens,
striped silks, dark plaid woolens, and
also with plain woods of lighter shade.
These basques are of the plainest shape,
without trimming, unless dropping cords
be used on the chest or else passing
under the arms from an epaulette.-

Funny Incident in Court,

When Judge G. B. Strong, of Georgia,
vas young man, he'was in the habit
of using very strong language while adj
dressing the jury. His friend, Judge
Early, ian elderly man, with kind heart
saw Judge Strongs weakness, and adj
vised him to restrain himself.
Now" said the good Judge, ''when
you see me lift my finger, you may
know that you are going too far"
The young pleader thanked his friend,
and said that he would bear in mind the
signal of warning. So in court the next
day he watched the Judge.
In the very midst of an eloquent APP
pealhe saw the judges finger lifted, and
the act of rebuke so bewildered him
that he paused, stammered, and finally
took his seat much chagrined.
AS soon as the courthad adjourned, the
orator went to Judge Early, and said:
