\ Prevailing NIalady.

Hundreds of women all over the
country are suffering from neuralgia to
such an extent, in many cases, as to
find life a burden. The following ex-
tract from the British Medical ReUjel0
gives one solution as to the cause:
There is no recognized reason why,
of late years, neuralgia of the face and
scalp should have increased so mush in
the female sex as compared with our
own There is no doubt that it is one
of the most common female maladies-
one of the most painful and difficult of
treatment. 1t is also a cause OF much
mental depression, and leads more
| often to habits of intemperance than
any other. This growing prevalence
/ of neuralgia may to some extent be re-
ferred to the effect of cold upon the
/ terminal branches of the nerves dis
tributed to the skin; and the reason
why men are less subject to it than wO-
! men may, to a great extent, l think, be
! explained by the much greater protec-
ton afforded by the mode in which the
former cover their heads when they are
in the open air. 1t may be observed
that the surface of the head which is
actually covered in man is at least
three times that which fashion allows
to a woman; indeed, the points of con-
tact between the hat or bonnet and the
head are so irregular as practically
to destroy any protection which might
otherwise be afforded. If l were to re-
port to the journals a case of facia
neuralgia cured on the principle OF
protecting the lateral and frontal sur
face of the face as well as the superior
part of the scalp, it might excite a Ger
tain amount of ridicule. | can assure
you, however, that my patient con
siders that her case ought to be report
ed; for she says that, if we can not dc
much for neuralgia with our prescrip
tions, we ought to oppose fashion wher
we find it prejudicial to health and pro
ductive of suffering"

Snnerh Trinnninr

A handsome dress of black satin rhadame
was lately trimmed in a way that attracted
general admiration The trimming was a
woven fabric of mingled jet and steel The
steel was not of the old-fashioned, glittering
polished kind, but rather of the dull shade
known as steel blue. 1t was woven into a
ioose-meshed network of large beads Upon
the network were large drops of brilliant jet
beads. The trimming was about two and a
half inches wide. 1t formed cuffs and trim
ming down the front of the basque, was laid
down the whole edge of the long overskirt at
the side, and made dashes of brightness here
and there upon the drapery. Every time
the lady moved tins superb trimming twin
kled light moonlight upon the water. Being
of the duh blue rather than the polished
knife and fork steel, it was not painful to
the eyes, but was simply brilliant without
being binding

A Powder Ball.

A so-called ''bal poudre" lately took place
IN the town hall in Brighton. All the guests
appeared with powdered hair, the gentlemen
in the usual evening dress, only with white
waistcoats and white flower In their but
tonholes The hostess Mrs. Cooper, wore
black velvet with old lace and diamonds, her
daughter white satin dress embroidered
with beads the waist fastened with old
fashioned clasps. Among the dresses a nut
Drown velvet costume with amber colored
satin tallier and black Chantilly lace excited
very great admiration. The tablier was
folded in squares, with bouquets of
outfercups intervening, where the lines
crossed; it ended with a large puff
round the bottom The bodice anC
train were both made of velvet trimmed
with splendid lace, and garland of butter
cups went across the bosom. Anothe
charming toilet consisted of a sapphire blu
satin skirt densely embroidered with rea
amber beads, tunic and waist of net inter
woven With gold threads, and blue velve
train To this turquoise ornaments ant
white feathers in the hair. A dark blu
tulle costume with plush side breadth, which
like the waist, was covered with blush stee
heads, was very original. A white tull
toilette with large silver butterflies as trim
mings was greatly admired. White wa
again the predominant color among tn
dresses worn by the young ladies.

Mr.. Geo. p Lord, of Elgin, Ills, Keeps 40
COWS on 800 acres of lstld and has not used
nav for several years. He thinks fodder
,orn is much the cheapest and best, when
the fodder is made properly and well Sc
,ured. so that each handful has a rich
green color. Mr. Hoard, in his Dairy
nan, says he has seen a yield of ten
sons Of cured fodder to the acre. This is .
wonderful yield, and we always found 1t. to
51lr taste, as good as timothy hay for feeding
cows, pound for pound. 1t has also been
1uite satisfactorily explained that sweet or
s1gar corn does not make as good, economi-
al OF even as sweet fodder, as the old horse
tooth variety Of southern origin, and who
ever saw more than three tons Of good tim
othy hay growing to the acre. We never
had a. good success in planting late as early.
Corn is a senli-tropieal plant, and wants
plenty of time. in this climate, TO catch 8
/ tun summer length of sun to come to it
/ best quality. and lay up all the sugar anc
/ starch that t can accumulate.

HOW HE MADE "GLT-EDGEDn BUTTER
A Berkshire County Massachusetts,
farmer writes the Scientific american
how he makes quick-selling and high
priced butter. 1t has commonsense
truths in IT He says:
"Mv object has always been to make
/ the best butter-not the most profitable
necessarily, but the best. Having this
( object In view. / have been compelled
/ TO discard oil meal, and thus reduce
! the quantity Of my butter and the value
/ Of the manure. / have been obliged to
/ take the cows out of all basement Gel
/ lars, and have consequently received
/ less butter for given amount OF food.
| have been forced, instead of dropping
the manure into a convenient cellar be-
low the COWS. TO give up this cellar
/ and wheel manure into a shed. / have
been obliged to discard deep setting
and to content myself with the open,
shallow method, which is more expen-
sive, and requires more attention, aud
returns less butter. j have been
obliged to reject all feeds except corn,
wheat, hay, beets, and carrots. Ihave
been obliged to give up using the milk
of cows that have calved too recently
or too remotely. | have for dozen
years carefully and faithfully tried to
make good butter-as good as it could
be made. This has always been the
first consideration; profitableness has
always been secondary. The result ha'
been for many years this butter ha:
brought a higher price than any butte
in the County Of Berkshire, where Sc
much good butter is made, and it ha:
taken the first prize over the county

EARLY CALLING.

The fashionable girl, or at least a
good many of her, has concluded,
writes Clara Belle, that there is not
enough of the evening for all that
needs to be done in it. Plain, old
fashioned calling by fellows has just
about become obsolete in this big city.
So numerous are the receptions, card
parties, and balls, and so incessant the
opera and theater-going, that it is
rare thing for a girl Sin society" to be
found alone and unengaged at home
after dark. This is a vast pity, too,
for the most unsophisticated of US know
that more genuine, marrying sort of
love is generated in an hours quiet in
terchange of sentiments, from the two
ends of not too long sofa, than in a
whole night of Waiting in crowded
ballroom. We have all felt the loss of
such intercourse. but it was not until
lately that anybody invented remedy
for the evil. | don't know who she
was, but if | did I'd 90 straightway
| and hug her, for she has done a noble
service for the manageable maidens
| of this metropolis. She announced to
| some of her male friends that she was
| always at home to receive calls at
| o'clock in the afternoon. That device,
| don't you see, solves the entire riddle.
Most of the fellows whom one would
like to have visit her are either done
with their days work by that time, or
are not laborers at all, and, therefore,
can drop in on their way uptown,
spend an hour agreeably (the other
conditions being right, and still get
home in time to dinner, with the even
ing left clear for the usual entertain
ments. The custom has spread with
wonderful rapidity- 1t is only month
since l first heard of it, and now most
of my friends have fallen into the fash
ion. 1t is something of a bother, OF
course, to make toilet an hour earlier
than dinner time, but rather think il
is worth while.
''But what I'm considering, Clara
Belle, DEAR" remarked my intimate
chum, Helena, sis that the fellows
ought to make little more prepare
ton, too"
Indeed" responded, my callers
have shown, it seems to me, all the
elaboration of dress that could be ex-
pected, for you must bear in mind that
they come direct from business"
''Ah, but they don't come direct, .
she insisted. They stop at bars or
the way, and a girl can't tell for the
life of her whether it's whisky, ale

they've been swallowing. What on
