Washington correspondents describe
human nature in rather pitiful phase as
exhibited by some of the Republican of
fice-holders. They are represented as
trying to curry favor with the admins

the basket by talking like Democrats,
and fulsomely eulogizing the administra.

willing to eat dirt publicly aud without
shame in their desperate eagerness to
save their own scalps little while longer
But this sort of conduct never avails. 1t
earns no consideration or forbearance from
the Democrats, but excltes the contempt
of both parties.

SPRING SEEDING.
The Advantages of Seeding for Grass in
the Spring Time.

The Advantages of Seeding for Grass in
the Spring Time.
The stocking of cultivated fields with
grass and clover seed in the spring was
almost universal in this country fifty
years ago and more. 1t was accom-
panied very generally with the sowing
of oats, or barley, the grain being
plowed or narrowed in, the ground
leveled with bush-harrow,s and the
grass seed sowed upon the surface. inn
mediately following the bush. Some
times the ground was gone over again
with the bush or roller to give slight
covering to the seed, and to firm the
surface. The two crops upon the same
soil in one season was thought to be
economy of labor. But there was ale
ways serious objection to this prac-
tice. The oat crop, if it was stout
smothered the grass and clover, and if
drought came on soon after the oats
were cut, most of the grass withered
and there was said to be "poor catch"
of the seed; the work must be done over
again. Not a few old-style farmers still
follow this method of seeding. In
later years, progressive farmers have
experimental with early fall sowing of
grass and clover without any grain
crop. There should be previous ro-
tation OF corn, or potatoes, or other
hoed crops, with abundant fertilizers
from the stable. and deep blowing and
thorough fining of the soil with the
harrow and firming of it with the roller.
This work, if done in September, rarely
fails to give satisfactory catch of the
seed, and, to make thick, heavy sod
the following season, and to bring q
permanent meadow, that, with occa-
sional top dressing may be kept in
meadow for long series of years, al
ways provided that there is but one
crop of hay cut in the season, and the
aftermath is not grazed. The main OBJ
lection to this practice is, that it comes
at time in summer when the teams
are not at their best, and wanted for
more pressing labors in other directions.
There is strong temptation for farm
ers of limited means to delay the fan
seeding, if they approve of it, until No
vember, when the young grass and
clover just starting is liable to be
thrown out by the freezing and thawing
and to perish. The late fall and early
winter often furnish favorable weather
for blowing, and thorough prepare
ton of the soil for seeding. The more
of this that can be done in a season of
comparative leisure the better. Seed
sowing at this time is not safe prao-
tice in this latitude. But in the early
spring. when the frost is out, and tho
ground is sufficiently dry for blowing,
SOW the grass seed and give it the bene-
fit Of the whole season to make roots
and lay the foundation for meadow.
This is not likely to be done with
grain crop sown at the same time. It
can not be done upon our long abused
soils without manure and thorough
preparation. The stirring and mellow
ing of the soil is substitute for ma
nure only within limits easily reached.
The best results are to be gained with
a liberal application of fertilizers and .
thorough preparation Of the soil

DRESSMAKING.
The Diversity Now Permitted q Subject
for General Congratulation.

The Diversity Now Permitted . subjec,
for General Congratulation.
There are radical differences and wide
divergence in styles nowadays, and it is
necessary to use judgment, and NOT
seize an idea simply because it is new
or different without regard to the indi-
vidual for whose benefit it is appro-
priated. The new straight skirts, for
example, are charming in pictures-so
simple, sweet and attractive that every
one falls in love with them-but they do
not suit every one. They are exceed
ingly well adapted to young girls. and
also to old ladies; to the former thew
impart an air of quaint and delightful
simplicity, which, alas! nowadays does
not often exist except in their gowns;
to the latter they are appropriate be-
cause free from encumbrance, and suited
to an age whose serenity rests upon
permanent foundations, and is past
being disturbed by the whims and
changes of fashion. Some ladies also
find the 'housemaid' styles convenient
for indoor wear and welcome relief
FROM drapery which must come to grief
sooner or later in any serious encounter
with hard work. But it will be found a
mistake to make up dressy materials for
dressy occasions in the plain and prac-
teal style adapted to those intended for
walking and working. Bear in mind
that you are not restricted to any one
design, or similar set of designs; that
draperies have not been relinauished
because straight skirts have come into
fashion; that ruffies have not gone out
because tucks have come in; that po-
lonaises are made as well as belted
waists; that basques continue to exist in
connection with draped and founced
skirts; in short, that you can reproduce
almost any design you have seen for the
past five years, and with very little
modification you will be in the fashion.
The diversity now permitted is SUBJ
ject for general congratulation, because
it admits ofindividual adaptation. More
thought and care are required on the
part of the dress-maker, but this inn
proves her methods and prevents them
from becoming monotonous. In fitting
= waist at home be careful to take it up
from the back, rather than from the
front; the back should always DO mar
row. so that the shoulders shall be
thrown back and the chest thrown out.
Oblige those who are being fitted to
stand in this way. Bring the sleeves
well up on the shoulder, and do not
make them too tight. They should al
ways give room to the movement of the
elbow and the arm in its socket at the
shoulder; too tight sleeves have caused
paralysis in those who use their arms
much, in writing for example. Use As
little lining as possible. Surah skirts
may be lined or made up on lining, but
heavy silk should not be lined. nor light
China silks, except where necessary Ter
strength; nor velveteens, except in the
waist, and a. facing; nor any woods,
unless, - before remarked, they are
made up On . lining. French dress
makers rarely use lining. and this Is ore

The Average Cost Of Living.

How many persons have even rough
idea of the average sum upon which by
far the larger part Of the citizens of the
United States are fed, clothed and
housedp A recent statistician estimates
that eighty per cent. Of the population
of this country is supported BY from
forty-five to fifty cents per capita day.
At the latter figure this makes S164.25
as the average annual cost OF living;
but, as by average we mean the balance
between extremes, there must be many
persons who have not even this sum to
live upon. That fifty cents day il :
generous estimate will be admitted when
It is remembered that many mill opera
tives earn only from five to seven dollars
week. and that the wages of farm
hands run from twenty TO thirty dollars
. month, and that on these sums several
persons are often supported. When It
is remembered, too. that some other
human beings have . yearly income
equal to what is necessary for the sub
sistence Of 500 or 1000 Of these s.avsr-
age mortals, the startling contrast ~
tween the extremes Of onr modern 60

Don't forget that the pasture fields
should have some attention, at least as
well as the grain fields. Weeds, briers
and bushes should be eradicated from

Using Tablecloths: A good way to
make use of old red tablecloths which
are no longer suitable for the table, is
to cut them in good-sized pieces and
keep them in drawer in the pantry,

and set them in their holes, and the
