York, but there is much more style
and expense put into independent
wraps, or rather this kind of wrap is
more commonly worn. For example:
Upon recent afternoon at Lords
where perhaps 10000 people were as
sembled and from twenty to thirty
drags, the toilets were all of the light
est and thinnest material-thin, open
worked embroideries over batiste,
lace over silk, transparent woods and
gauze or net embroidered and draped
upon satin or china silk. With such
costumes in cream and canary, pale
blue and strawberry, flesh pink and
terra-cotta were carried long cloaks
of ruby plush, wide capes lined with
plush, with hoods and long ends that
can be thrown over the shoulders, and
dolmans of chuddah cloth or India
wool, silk lined and fringed or trimmed
with pendant braids in the color OF
the cloth.

Farm Hints.

The least painful way ofslaughtering
calf is to hoist it up by the hind legs
over a pulley and then Immediately
cut the throat with sharp knife so as
to sever all the veins and arteries at
one stroke. This suddenly arrests all
sensation because it stops the supply
of blood to the brain and paralyzes
that organ. The blood escapes very
quickly and the flesh is drained COM
pletely, leaving it white and clear.
Professor J. W. Sanborn refers to
the cooking OF food for farm stock as
having been, after innumerable trials
by farmers, Gin most cases abandoned
in silence" and Giving again only in
the praises ofnew beginners. Inproof
of this statement he quotes from GER
tain 'full and satisfactory tests at
the Maine Agricultural College, con-
tinued during nine years. Without
entering upon the philosophy of the
matter" Professor Sanborn contents
himself by warning against this in
fatuation."

Selection of the Best Seed.

The season ofharvest is with us, and
there are few things that it will pro-
fit us to bear in mind. From many
of the crops, selections should be
made for the next years seed. AS the
potatoes are earthed, we will be best
able to select the most vigorous seed
from the strongest hills. The evidence
as shown by the N. Y. Experiment
Station is, that the stronger the po-
tato, the stronger the hill from which
it grew, other things being favorable,
the greater and better will be
the progeny. The cereal producing
the strongest plant, the most
and best ears, and the maximum
stalks, may be expected to produce
progeny superior to the plant less
robust or less prolific. The finely
formed, good-sized, early-ripening
squash, cucumber, pumpkin, or other
vegetable, should not be overlooked,
if seed is to be sought for in the crop.
A wise man will judciously select his
own seed, in the emanner that best pro-
notes his own interests; he will care
fully store it away from mice and
other vermin, in a place where its
vegetative powers willnot beimpaired,
and on the advent of another season,
will be properly equipped for planting:
But if q farmers crop be poor, and
the seed inferior, the wiSest course will
be to get better seed from another
source, as a profit will result in the
next crop that will over-balance the
money expended.

Courtesy at Home.

One is forcibly reminded, in going
from place to place, how small and
seemingly trivial often are the things
which go to make OR mar the comfort
and peace of home. In some house
holds there is 4 genuine good will and
kindness which only works out half
its mission, for the reason that it does
not express itself in little courtesies of
speech and action. These are more
important than some of our busy
men and women may realize. The
ready ''thank you," ''if you please"
ETC., at table and elsewhere, the quiet
"excuse me- when obliged to pass di-
rectly before or inconven1ently near
another; the loving good night and
CHEEKY ''good morning g''-although
little things, are helps in making
happy home. Courtesy is but a ready
overflow of kindness and good will to
all, and is therefore but a natural ex-
preston which costs nothing, but
which often cheers an aching heart,
and which never fails to make home
brighter and more attractive to the
old and young.

Harvesting Onions.

When the tops OF onions begin to
turn yellow and fall down, it is time
the bulbs are harvested. They should
not be lett in the ground much longer
than this, as they are liable to COM
mence a second growth, which very
much Injuries the keeping quality,
They may be pulled with a wooden
rake, or light diggingfork. Some grow
ers let them lie on the ground after
pulling, two or three weeks to dry;
others put them in small piles after
three or four days, to sweat; leaving
them thus two or three weeks, after
which they are again spread for a day
OF two, and than stored. The bulbs
may be put into barrels, or spread
upon the floor of loft rstore-room.
If on a tight floor. they should not be
piled more than foot deep, though
they may be safely piled 3 or feet
deep in bins having Slated bottoms,
If kept over Winter, they should be
protected from severe freezing.

Raising Calves.

There is no subject i'll connection
with the diary of greater interest to
the general reader than that of rails
ing calves. This is one of the points
in the diary farm. With all the mod
ern notions and undoubtedly correct
ones, too, if we had a wife who loved
to feed calves, we would like no bet
ter business than buying up the can
ditates for "deacons" and making
good profitable veal of them, says the
American Dairyman. Prof. Henry
gives some fresh ideas on the subject.
He says that, from carefully conducted
experiments, he finds that skim-milk
is worth 25 cents per 100 pounds for
feed to calves. More calves, he says,
are injured by over-feeding than by
under-feeding. Feed three times day
moderately, not colder than 90 deg.
Farenheit, and find this out with the
thermometer. Teach the calf to eat
whole oats by the time it is three
weeks or a month old, by slipping a
few small handfuls into it's mouth Just
after it has drank milk. When 1T has
learned to eat them, keep a supply
before it in little box. If you
haven't oats enough for the horses
and calves both, let the horses go
without rather than the calves.
Don't waste time to grind the oats.
Bran, oil-meal and same other arti-
cles are good, but oats are the most
satisfactory of all. He never knew OF
a calf eating too many.

A Boys Sleep.

1t is mistake to awaken children
too early in the morning. If a boy
sleeps until o'clock, because he does
not go to bed until 10 or later, the
remedy lies not in waking him early,
but in putting him to sleep early. Ii
ne goes to bed early and sleeps late,
that fact alone is reason enough for
not waking him. A great deal of harm
may be done by applying to growing
children the term OF "early to rise"
s'rising with the SUM-" etc. In old
times, when artificial light was scarce
and dear, and many people were
Obliged to go to bed with the fowls,
lying abed in the morning was sign
of laziness. This tradition has come
down to us with SO much force that
many believers in it think it a virtue
to cut short the rest of even young
children; whereas sleep is absolutely
necessary to their health and develop
ment- If q boy who does not sit up
late sleeps until 8 o'clock, it is sign
that he needs more sleep than most
boys; and it is too sweeping, as it is
cruel, to say "wake him early" A
parent has no more right to starve q
child of sleep than of food; not as
much, in fact, because a child is often
IN danger of eating too much, but sell
dom in danger of sleeping too much;
certainly not when his sleep is a part
4of his regular nights slumber.

A Sketch of Hettie Green.

From Washington Letter to Cleveland
Leader.
Hettie Green is the sharpest woman
on Wall street and the richest woman
in New York. She is over forty years
old and she numbers her fortune by as
many millions as there are years
in her life. Her mother was somewhat
of an heiress and her father had in
creased the family pile to 50, 100000
at the time of his death. This fortune
Hettie, as the only child, inherited,
and she at once went to work to in
crease it. Much of her fortune was in
vested in ships, but these she consider
ed dangerous and sold them and
placed the proceeds in good interest
paying mortgage. She bought these
mortgages of small towns all over
England, travelling about and investi-
eating the securities for herself. Short

aunt of hers died and left her S4, 4,OOO,-

Hettie Green TINS inherited she had
increased by careful speculation to
about 100000, 900 at the time she
married E. III. Green, of New York.
Miss Hettie had an ante-nuptlal con-
tract with him whereby he agreed to
pay all of the household expenses
$2O,OOO,OOO and more in her
own name. After her wedding she
kept up her business work, and
through her husband got into Wall
street speculation. She did the spec

haps 100000 in her reticule, and she
used to walk to parties through the
snow, pulling old woolen stockings ov-
er her shoes to keep her feet dry and
save buying rubbers. When she got
to the place of entertainment she
would pull off her socks and hang
them on the hat rack to dry. She
kept her silver and securities at John

Mems Full Dress.


Boston Herald.
The evening full dress suit of the
coming season will vary but little in
actual appearance from that of pre-
ceding years. The coat, as a rule.
will be made ofhne diagonal worsted
cloth, although for elderly gentlemen
broadcloth is frequently worn. The
fronts of the garment are SO cut that
when lying close into the body the ends
of the roll will meet The well-peaked
lapels are to be exceedingly light, with
five button holes, a trifie below the
third of which they are made to turn.
Silk facing covers the lapels to the but
ton holes The collar is to be made a
tr1he less in width than the top OF the
lapel, it's outer edges rangingve near
ly with the outside edges OF the lapel.
The edges are bound about one-eighth
of an inch in width, and the garment s
corners are all slightly rounded. As
has been stated, the garment should
be made OF worsted, and the trowsers
and vest of the same material. Should
the coat and vest, however, be made
of broadclOth, the trOwsers are to be
made of doeskin.
Within the last two years there has
been a gradual but marked change ir
the cutting of trousers. The change is
undoubtedly for the better. The e'skin-
tight garments Of the last few years
are to be known no more. Mans leg
covering is still to be shapely; that is
neither verging on bagginess nor tight.
ness. The trousers for full dress will
follow this rule, and at the bottom
will, this year, end with a very slight
spring, and in many cases a marrow
binding will be sewed on the seams al
the sides. The vest varies but slight
ly from those heretofore worn. The
opening is very decided, and in form
should be somewhat of the shape OF 8
shield. The buttons are four IN mum
Der, and are about two inches apart
The garment is finished with collar
that rolls slightly.

Some Feeding.

Mr.. J. NJ. Murcey of the Iowa Agri-
cultural College, gives the following
feeding experience and some observa-
tions thereon: "Aug. %, 1884, IA
shoats, weighing 1885 pounds, were
bought for 5 cents per pound. Dec.
1884, 13 sold for $3.75 per 100, the
average weight being 346 pounds. For
convenience deduct 13S pounds from
the total weight of l ,935 and there re-
mains 1,797 pounds, which cost, at 5
cents per pound, $S9. .S5; 4, ,49S pounds
sold for 1918 per 100, $16S. 81; gross
receipts, ELS 80. The growth of p
7O1 pounds from Aug. % to Dec. 81
must have required, according to re-
liable experiments, at least 225 bush
els of corn. This at % cents
per bushel leaves net profit OF
only S22.57. These figures are
valuable. They show that splendid
gain can be made on buttermilk and
dry corn, which was their feed almost
the entire time. 1t seems to me that
those farmers having splendid con-
veniences for breeding swine will gen.
orally make the greatest profit by sell
pounds, for 1-2 to one cent above reg
ular market price. Such prices are
readily obtained of other farmers in
this locality. All young animals are
the most profitable, giving the greatest
increase in live weight from the least
food. This statement is not generally
believed among feeders and yet it re-
mains a scientific truth nevertheless

"Apples and Abstinence"

The most prolific source of disease
among human beings as well as ami
mails, is over-eating. We are ever on
the watch for dainties. Weh meaning
housewives are eager for recipes for
dishes and CONNECTIONS to tempt the
appetite of persons not hungry. The
consequence is-lives wasted by chron-
ic dyspepsia; sick and cross children;
malarial ailments-so called-which
are produced or encouraged by bilious
disorders; the frequent diarrhma and
dysentery OF the summer season; and
who knows how many cases of fevers
from too great plethora and head
aches from overworked stomachs?
Eat only when the appetite is good,
and simple food. When one rejects
oatmeal mush or plain bread and
butter and wants cakes and dainties,
he or she is suffering from gluttony.-
f. Warner.
Take the advice of an old man, O
dwellers upon farms, and substitute
fruit forfat in your summer cooking.
Overlooking the stomach and over
working the liver with meats. gravies,
cakes and pies that are half made up
of greasy ingredients alluring to the
taste, through being aggravated by
sweets, is the chiefsource ofheadaches
and all the wretchedness of dyspepsia
and tax of doctors bills. One of the
best physicians l ever knew said once,
in q moment of confidence, that he
never took any medicine but "apples
and abstinence" For myself, after
having for years endured the mis-
cradle effects of diet supplied by lard
dispensing cooks. have not had oc-
cassion to consult doctor or druggist

wholly on plain, regular, limited diet,
and now, in old age, begin to really
enjoy life.-T. Yokefellow.

A published portrait of Return

A published portrait of Return
Jonathan Meigs, Jr., one of the early
settlers of Ohio, leads to an old remin-
iscence in the Hartford Courant: His
father was resident of Middletown,
and his singular name original thus.
In the early history of Middletown,
Mr.. Jonathan Meigs asked a lady to
become his wife. She refused him, and
Meigs felt so badly that he left her house
weeping. She, observing his grief,
cried out to him when he was a few rods
from her, Return, Jonathan Meigs."
He went back, she accepted him, and
they were married. He declared that
the words uttered by the eyoung woman
gave him more comfort than any
other he had ever heard. Therefore,
wishing to express his gratitude, he
named his first child Retul Jonathan
Meigs. The son became postmaster
general of the United States and
governor OF Ohio.

BESIDE THE Bars.

Grandmother's knitting has lost its charm
Unheeded it lies in her ample lap,
While the sunsets crimson, soft and warm,
Touches the frills of her snowy cap.
She is gazing on two beside the bars,
Under the maple-who little care
For the growing dusk, or the rising stars
Or the hint of frost in the autumn air.
One is slender Slip of girl
And one a man in the pride of youth
The maiden pure as the purest pearl,
The lover strong in his steadlast truth.
Sweet. my own, rs a rose of June,
He says full low o ocr the golden head.
1t would sound to her like dear old tune,
Could grandmother hear the soft words said
For il seems but little while ago
Since under the maple beside the bars,
She stood girl, while the sunset's glow
Melted away mid the evening stars.
And little You dream how fond a prayer
Goes up to God through His silver stars,
From the aged woman gazing there,
For the two who linger beside the bars.
