Farmers Should Observe.
American Rural Home.

American Rural Home.
If farmers would observe more
closely the habits of those insects
which prey upon their crops they
would be much better prepared to
battle with them. Take, for instance,
the large, black squash bug, that
makes it's appearance when the vines
are of large size, and If let alone will
surely destroy them. The observing
farmer will notice that the eggs are
deposited on the under side of the
leaves, in groups, which can easily be
crushed, and thus destroyed. He will
also observe hat the bug in question
will get under a stone, leaf, or other
covering, as night approaches, and by
placing a shingle beside the hill at
night, large numbers of bugs will take
shelter under it, and can be destroyed
In the morning.
So with the birds and animals that
destroy his crops; all have habits pc
culiar to themselves. No observing
farmer would take his gun and hunt
for woodchucks in the middle of the
day; he would 60 early in the morning
or just before evening, with a much
better prospect of success.
His observations should also ex-
tend to the growth and habits of the
crops which he grows, and he will soon
learn the best methods for himtopur-
sue. There is no occupation in which
observation can be put to better use
than in farming; this, coupled with ex-
perience, is the farmers best and SAT-
est teacher. The farmers observa-
ton should not be limited to his own
experience; he should look about and
see what his neighbors are doing, not
in a poke your nose into other peo-
| pies business" kind of a way, but he
should observe how their methods in
farming differ from his own, and note
results. He may thus get new and
better IDEAS ABOUT Ills business Liiafl
he would otherwise have had. Theo-
ries are very good in their way, but
observation and experience will beat
them every time.

Reunion Notes.

The ex-Legislature was not photographed
yesterday, the photographer not putting in an
appearance.
Good judges estimated that there were 800
people in Representatives Hall during the
session yesterday.
On account of the sessions of the Supreme
Judicial Coure, and the courts Of Probate and
Insolvency this week, York county is not so
largely represented in Augusta at the reu ion.
The Biddeford Journal of Tuesday said :
Beside the judge, and the county treasurer,
we saw on the jury panel Mr.. CARL and Mr..
Cleaves and other ex-Representatives. while
among the Senators there appeared Messrs.
Taplev, Moore, Neatly, Goodwin and Jones :
and looking over the crowd there were house
ex-members enough for reunion there.
Prominent among these were Yeaton, Homil-
ton, Cakes, Haley, Burbank, all busy taking
the argument of their cases"
Twenty-Five years ago young Mr.. Blaine
presided over the House of Representatives.
Old stagers say that he was the best speaker
that the House ever had, and he said that the
place came nearer filling the measure of his
ambition than any he has held since There
were only twenty Eight democrats in the
House IN 1861, the first year of Mr.. Blaine's
speakersnip, and not many more in, 1862
Perhaps the ablest among them was A. 2.
Gould of Thomaston. lone of the brightest
men (ssys a Boston Record correspondent
was John T. Gilman, then of Bath, an ex-
clergymen, afterwards editor of the Portland
Press, whose tongue was sharper than two
edged sword and only less sharp than his
pen. His career, which promised much,
ended in sadness"
Eugene Hale was not in the legislature
until some years later. He was born in the
same school district as Scion Chase, went
East instead of West to seek his fortune,
and certainly found it. He was active in the
legislature, but it was chiefly by good luck
that he soon stepped into the Congressional
shoes of Frederick Pike. Still later Thomas
B. Reed made his appearance at Augusta.
He looked like big boy. but many even then
prophesied good deal of future for him.
while others who had known him from boy-
hood were astonished that he had advanced

gramme.

The second day of the reunion opened most
auspiciously There had been an improve
ment in the weather from the previous day.
The air was as mild as that of a spring morn
ing and the sun shone brightly and warmly
Nearly all the ex-members had arrived Tues
day night and were thoroughly established at
the hotels and at the residences of their
friends. The morning trains, however, brought
good sized delegations from Bangor, Port
land and Lewiston Owing to the destruction
of the bridge, passengers from up river took
carriages on the east side to reach the
hotels. The Augusta house was crowded
with guests throughout the dav and every
room had its occupants. The other hotels
were also well patronized The corridors
were thronged with reunionists discussing old
times and exchanging "reminiscences.
This will be the last day of the reun-
ion and it will also be funny one, for the
mock sessoI convenes at ten o'clock, when
something spicy and witty may be heard.
There are plenty of candidates for office as,

Tonight the ball will be in order and the
reunionists will trip the light fantastic toe in
Granite Hall. From all appearances it will
prove most brilliant social event and one
long to be remembered by those attending
The decorations of the hall will remain as at
present. Pullen's Orchestra will furnish the
music.

FASHION NOTES.
How Fashionable Women Dress Them
selves and Their Children.

How Fashionable Women Dress Them
selves and Their Children.
Wooden laces remain in vogue.
White moire forms part of many
bridesmaids dresses.
Bonnets are worn at ladies' lunch
con parties, or should be.
A child's dress may be becomingly
grotesque, but lady's never.
Matelasse, Spanish. is an improved
imitation of the Escurial lace.
The fashion Of making short mantles
of two stuffs is almost universal.
Piques for children's wear come in
clustered cord, repped,. and sprigged
effects.
Picturesque short-waist, full-skirt
frocks are in favor for both large and
small girls.
Cream and beige are the favorite
colors for Egyptian laces, but they
come also in colors.
Few women can venture to dress out
of the conventional style without look
ing ridiculous.
Flowered foulard and plaided and
checked summer silks are made up into
little girls frocks.
Notifications of the toilets of the
Louis XIV, Louis XVI, and Henri ii.
periods are popular in Paris.
Stockings for little girls should be
black. dark blue. or drab brown, no
matter what the color of the frock.
Large girls dresses are only slightly
different from those worn by their.
older sisters and their mothers. ST.
The low prices OF Egyptian lace
makes it possible for any lady to have
an alElace dress at reasonable cost
Sailor suits for large girls come in
white and dark-blue flannel. and in the
same style as those of last summer.
| White moire parasols edged with
deep falls of pure white Valenciennes
lace are used by bridesmaids when the
wedding is in country church.
Morning robes Of yelling in any color
and any shade, from pure white and
cream to black, are trimmed tastefully
with cascades and falls Of Egyptian
lace.
All-over tuckings are of plain main.
sock or of lace, and, in every imagin-
able design of clusters and combina-
tons, are extremely simple or
elaborate to any degree desired.
The newest fancy imitation lace
flounces are of matelasse. Spanish de-
I signs, in black and cream color, and
in widths from ten to forty inches,
costing from 81. Is to 81 the yard.
Some mothers make up their little
girls frocks in comical exaggerations
of the prevailing styles, having the
waists cut off just below the armpits
and the skirts extending to the ankles.
while the high-crowned, heavily
trimmed hats and large sash bows COM
plete the grotesque, but pretty effect.
All-over tuckings, brought out by s
popular manufacturer in this city, may
be classed among the most attractive
labor-saving materials used for decora-
tive dress purposes. For yokes, sleeves.
guimpes. skirt panels, and entire
bodices these tuckings are invaluable
to the maker of ladies' and children's
wash frocks and dressy underclothing.

LAKE WETTERN.
A Bit of England Transplanted to the
Middle of Sweden.

Bit of England Transplanted to the
Middle of sweden.
One portion of the canal-that lying
between Lake Wettern and Lake Roxen
was perhaps the most beautiful of all.
The water was above the level Of the
land, and we looked down upon road
overshadowed by trees, with charm
ing country beyond. and fertile gardens
adorned with profusions of flowers OF
rich color that scented the air we passed
through. There were velvety lawns
and park-like grounds, and orchards
laden with cherry trees. We had found
nothing prettier of its kind; nothing that
looked so much like a delicious bit of
England trausplanted to the middle of
Sweden, fiourishing under northern
skies. Every one went into a series of
crescendo harmonies of rapture, which
the Swedish ladies turned into FF dis
cords as they were waited out of reach
of those tantalizing cherry orchards.
On some portions of our journey the
woods were magnificent large, fine
trees stretching far as the eye could
reach. many of them oaks of splendid
growth.
When night had fallen we reached
spot where seven locks had to be passed,
giving time for walk under the stars.
Yet few were enterprising enough
to leave the vessel Tall trees lined
the roadside. We went down the rap
idly descending pathway, leaving the
steamer behind us. She looked weird
and monstrous in the surrounding
darkness, yet cheerful with all her side
lights, and mast lights and cabin lights
red. green and withdrawing out in
the blackness of night. And watching,
every now and then. as one lock was
closed and another opened, one saw
her gradually descending as by some
mysterious process, ten feet in the
world; then moving on to the next
lock; and there stationary again for o
time
We came to the end of the road, and
apparently to the end of all things. "A
tiny pier and a miniature lighthouse,
from which flashed a beacon over the
waters of Lake Roxen. There was not
a creature in sight. not sound to be
heard, not nightbird to cleave the
air with startling cry. Isolated. infi-
n;tely sad and solitary looked the lake,
IFS near waters dimly lighted by the
lamp in that small lighthouse.-Arqosy.
