Beige and Brown.

MORE and faille franchise dresses are
shown in the beige or pale-ecru shades
that are always in favor in the spring,
and there are various kinds of wool
goods in these colors that promise to be
popular for morning, street and travel
ing dresses. Some of the most refined
d esses are of beige-colored faille fran
caise, with the fan basque and full
straight back draperv of three gathered
breadths, while its only ornaments are
deep lace drapery in front gathered
near the waist, and hanging almost to
the foot; the collar and cuffs are then
make of darker velvet. Similar dresses
are made of mushroom-colored MORE,
with some striped watered silk forming
the sides, or else with many revers of
garnet velvet. In all rich fabrics the
draperies are long, full, and almost
straight, and the dress is rendered
bouhant by its very large cushion
hustle and the steel springs below it,
Havana brown is a fayor,te color in
wool velvets for combining with skirts
of any of the changeable silks that have
brown in them, such as brown with
blue, brown with red, or the gold and
black glace silks that give a golden
brown effect.-HarTer'S Bazar.

The Rhea Plant.

The Indian Rhea plant possesses sucn
tenacious fiber that it was long ago
pointed out that it would be of great
value for various manufacturing pur-
poses; but difficulty stood in the way
because of there being no machine
known by which the grower could pro-
duce from it clean and unbroken fiber
fit for market. Thereupon, the Indian
Government offered valuable prize to
the inventor of +. the coveted machine.
At the recent Calcutta exhibition, nine
machines were shown of more or less
merit, but only one fulfilled all the con-
ditions laid down by the authori-
ties. This is called the Universal Fiber
Cleaning Machine, and its main feature
consists of an iron drum upon which
several metal beaters are bolted. AS
it revelves, jet of water releases the
refuse loosened by the beaters, and al
so softens the gummy matter by which
the fibers are bound together. The cost
of the machine is small, and it can be
driven by steam or by bullocks. 1t is
anticipated that this invention will
open up new source of textile in.
dustry, and will be especially valuable
in certain districts of India where the
Rhea plant grows wild and has beer
hitherto looked upon as numbering tho
ground Y Post.

Curing Meat.

In curing meat on farm two
great agents are employed, salt and
smoke. Salt absorbs the juices of the
meat, and, acting upon the same prin-
ciple, retards putrefaction by absorbing
the fluid of the meat. This will form
brine that will effectually ward off the
attacking oxygen wherever it covers
the meat. This is why we cover hams
and bacon with strong brine. Salt
possesses no active principles to stay
putrefaction; it is only negative fac
tor. BY absorbing the fluids necessary
to chemical changes. and shutting off
the eager oxygen from the meats, it
preserves it. But it dissolves some of
the salts and other valuable elements
and consequently renders the meats less
nutritious and wholesome. Smoke,
like salt, absorbs the moisture of the
meat and thereby aids in the stopping
of putrefaction. But as preservative
of meat it derives its chief value from
the creosote it contains. 1t is creosote
that gives smoke its characteristic
odor. and renders it so irritating to the
eyes. 1t is an active agent in the
preservation of meat, differing from
salt, which only acts negatively.-Er-
change.

world would come to an end. 1t was
money, money, money all the time,
but now there isn't store or q milll-
ner shop within five miles Of us, and
we do our own work, and have learned
what it is costs to make bushel of
corn and barrel of -four, and by the
time Mrs. Arp has nursed and raised a
lot of chickens and turkeys she thinks
SO much of 'em she don't want us to
kill 'em, and they are heep better
and fatter than any we used to buy.
We've got great big fireplace in the
family room, and can boil the coffee or
heat q kettle of water on the hearth if
we want to, for we are not on the look
out for company all the time like we
used to be. We don't cook half as
much as we used to, nor waste whole
parcel every day on the darkey, and
we eat what is set before us, and are
thankful.
It's q wonder to me that everybody
don't go to farming. Lawyers and
doctors have to set about town and
play checkers, and talk politics, and
wait for somebody to quarrel or fight
or get sick; clerks and bookkeepers
figure and multiply and count until
they get to counting the stars, and
the flies on the ceiling, and the peas in
the dish, and the flowers on the paper
ing; the jeweler sits by his window all
the year round, working on little
wheels, and the mechanic strikes the
same kind of a lick every day.
These people do not belong to
themselves; they are all penned
up like convicts in a chain gang;
they can't take day nor an hour for
recreation, for they are the servants OF
their employers. There is no profes-
sion that gives a man such freedom,
such latitude, and such variety of en-
ployment as farming.-AtIGntG Con-

Human Endurance.

II is an acknowledged fact that man

accomplishment for. o horse, and sur

the power of endurance to its fullest
extent must be in perfect health. One
who is troubled with weak urinary and
digestive organs, whose pulse is irreg1-
lar, whose heart palpitates, and who
feels a sense of burdensome fatigue
after the least exertion, would be very
unwise to compete in a pedestrian
contest. Should you suffer from a
