below the hips The tattooed limbs and
light brown form standing unclad display
as fine a physique as 1 ever saw There

INEXPENSIVE SPRING; OUTFITS.
There are plenty of opportunities for the ac-
QUESTION of wardrobe costing very little
money. by those who know how to take adj
vantage of them. Materials were never so low
in price now: and the variety has become so
great, the confusion of ideas so universal, that
even the conventional woman who always
wants the 81 latest thing, gets mixed, and finds
ii hard to distinguish between what was the
novelty of yesterday ana what the novelty of
to-day. particularly as the new thing OF to-day
was the old thing of yesterday. Under these
ton of sacrificing herself to cost and
fashion. the conscientious lady sometimes
finds herself pleasing herself in an economical
and highly satisfactory way. Doubtless she
feels that such a purchase carries sense OF in
adequacy To her position and principle for
when il is admired she always confidingly
says: "You would not believe it, my dear. but
only paid so much; and really it is quite good
thing, don't you know
THE THRIFTY woMAN's WAY.
But this is not the style of the truly thrifty and
bargain-lOving woman. She carefully studies
styles, in order TO make the costume-the ma
terial for which will cost her from ten to fifteen
dOllars-loek like an ''imported" one at from
sixty to seventy-hve. She is always spoken OF
cause she has a bonnet to match every suit and
dress proper for every occasion. The actual
cost OF ali her bonnetS Is not, however, that of
one bought at a fashionable millinery estab-
liShment, for she utilities scraps, buys her
frames and little good, effective trimming
and makes them herself. All the materials for

IL Was the Generals Son.

One of the many curious incidents
which happen almost daily in New York
occurred on recent afternoon in the
Cyclorama building at Seventh avenue
and tlfty-fiifth street, where the paint
ing OF the Battles of Vicksburg is ex-
hibited. Capt. l.. S. Hudson, a veteran
OF the war, and who took part with his
battery, the Chicago Mercantile, in the
conflict, was rehearsing the incidents of
the hard fought day in his capacity of
lecturer at the Cyclorama. A visitor
suddenly interrupted him by asking:
WHO was in your front, Captain, at the
battle Of Champion Hill?" "The First
Mississippi N Light Artillery" replied
Captain Hudson. sDo you remember
who was their commanders" queried the
visitor. 81 do, well. 1t was General
Illghman. 1 aided in serving the gun
that killed him. We stood on q little
hill in advance of his command, and we
cut him in two with spherical case
shot" "That was my father" said the
visitor, who was Mr.. Tilghman, Wall
street broker. The two men were natur-
ally greatly affected at this strange meet
ing, and after shaking Captain Hudson's
hand Mr.. Tilghman Immediately de-
parted.

Q. Minott, Mrs b. f. Tieghe, l.. DoTre
vile, II. j. Limehousc, Percy Gucrard
Ben. Perry, the Ncttlcs House, and that
OF MIR. Ed. Fishburnc.
The scene at the Citadel Green was pic
turesquc in the extreme. Most of the tents
IN all manner of colors, had been erected
on the south side of the square, alone the
Calhoun street line. There were, however,
numbers OF them on all sides except that
bounded by the Citadel The tents were
made out of sheets, blankets, carpets,
clothing and whatever else could be i'm,
pressed into the service to keep OF The ravy
OF the sun by day and the dew u, night.
lhcrc were some people who moved To- tie
Green from distance, and they brought
with them their cooking utensils and
camped as if to remain until the last yes.
tgc OF the danger had disappeared
Many OF the poorer people rolled barrels
to the square and used them in lieu of tents.
The yard without tent, where there was
large family, was the exception to the
rule. Whole families could at any time
and ut any place lie ncosily cnsconccd be
meath some awning or tent under which
refuge had been taken from the chances OF
another shock of Il severe character.

What n Cow Should Yield.

Something depends of course upon
the KIND OF COW, but no COW is good
one that does not yield $500 quarts of
milk III one year, or about seven quarts
a day for 3G5 days. She will be dry a
portion of the time, and of course Weld
more when fresh than toward the close
of her milking period, but she should
not give less than seven quarts daily for
every day in the year. The milk should
produce about 200 pounds of butter, or
pound to every twelve and half
quarts OF milk, which at 25 cents a
pound the whole year, would yield $50.
The value of the calf depends on it's
breeding, while the skim milk fed TO
plgs and the manure should realize at
least $50 more, making $75. We NAV
safely take onc-half for cost, leaving
S3I5O as profit. The sum fixed as profit.
however, may vary, as the price of food
Is cheaper in some localities than in
others. Dairymen differ as to the amount
OF profit COW should give. Some claim
as much as $50 a year, but such dairy
men sell the milk directly to consumers
ut fair price. The fairest estimate is
made upon the practice of sLimmine the
milk and raising pigs, which will increase
the profit, especially if good breed of
hogs be used in connection with n first
class lot of dairy cows.
A crop of mangels yielding forty-two
tons of tops and roots, or thirtythree
tons OF the latter, has been grown at a
cost of SLIGO per ton.
