How to Renovate Dress Waists.

The amateur dress-maker will find a
good plan for renovating the waists of
silk dresses that are sOiled in the collar
and at the top generally to be that Of
putting in a pleated guimpe of India
silk or surah, or of net, cutting down
the waist in V shape back and front,
and adding high collarto the guimpe.
White Or colored nuns vailing waists
are filled in with guimpe of pleated
sprigged net. and have shirred or
pleated standing collar of lace; the
sleeves should then be similarly fin
ished. Black lace basques that are
partly worn can have trimming lace
draped in various ways across the
front: one plan has a wide hounce
gathered on the right shoulder and
Tapped to the left side, where it is
drawn into point: another way is to
make two careless jab0ts down the
fronts over the part most marred.
Wide moire sash ribbon is also draped
from the right shoulder to the left Of
the bodice, while second piece forms
a wide girlle under the right arm. and
tapers to point opposite on the waist
line, then hangs in wide loops and long
ends. -Harper's Basar.

Two Parlor Paradoxes.

Two interesting physical experiments
are amusing French scientific men. In
the first lighted candle is placed be-
hind bottle. and the latter is blown
upon with the breath from q distance of
about foot. The meeting of the air
currents set in motion around the bottle
quickly extinguishes the flame, though
extinction would be impossible If a nat
board or sheet of cardboard were SUBJ
stituted for the bottle. For the second
experiment two bottles are placed ON a
table. with a space of half an inch be-
tween them. The candle is set behind
this space, and from the same distance
as before, on the opposite side, the
breath is blown smartly against the
fame. Not only will the latter continue
burning, but it viii incline slightly to-
ward the operator, IS If through the
effect Of suction. This phenomenon.
analogous to the first, Is due to the fact
that portion of the air can not pass
between the bottles. and is forced
around them and back towards the ex-
perimenter. Mechanical NeCs.

Buckwheat a Paying Crop.

Buckwheat has but poor reputa-
ton as a farm crop. having been 80
often called 1.-the lazy mans CROP"
This, says a practical man, is a foolish
and wholly undeserved aspersiOn upon
this useful grain, which has high
value for feeding. That it is easily
grown is no reason why it should be
undervalued or condemned. On the
contrary. this should make it all the
more desirable, and should tend to give
it such favor as would insure its best
culture. Any farmer who will give
this crop an equal chance with oats or
corn will easily be surprised at the re-
suit. If piece Of land that can be put
in no other crop is now plowed and
then MANFRED, or fortified literally,
if with no more than $50 or 500 pounds
per acre Of superphosphate Of lime and
as much sulphate or chloride Of potash
salts, the farmer will be amazed to
find what this humble plant will do.
even on poor, abandoned piece Of
land. We have reaped Is bushels per
acre of this grain from good piece Of
land that would have grown 40 to 80
bushels Of oats, and a bushel of buck
wheat for feeding is easily worth 3
per cent. more than oats.

CamphOr is made in Japan in this
way: After tree is felled it is cut up
into chips. which are laid in a tub or a
large iron not partially filled with
water and placed over a slow fire.
Through holes in the bottom of the tub
steam slowly rises. and heating the
chips generates oil and camphor. OF
course, the tubs with the chips
has closely fitting cover. From this
cover q bamboo pipe leads to success
sion of other tubs with bamboo connec-
tions, and the last Of these tubs is di-
vided into two compartments, one above
the other, the dividing door being per-
forated with small holes to allow the
water and the oil to pass to the lower
compartment. The upper compart-
ment is supplied with straw layer.
which catches and holds the camphor
in crystal in deposit as it passes to the
cooling process. The camphor ID then
separated from the straw, packed in
wooden tubs, and is ready for market

minating and medical purposee.-M Il

THE OVERLAND TRAIL.

Over the sage-brush desert gray
Through ail,ali patches pale,
Ii stretches. away and away ana away-
The weary Overland Trail.
Where those who followed have smoothed the
path
For the track OF the iron horse.
Between the rocks and around the hills
l: threads its sinuous course.
And ever the wagon tracks divsrge
Like strands OF parted skein-
And anon the old trail stPaishtens out
And gathers them in again.
Who runs may read IS he speeds along.
Its record Of blood and tears:
May see dim specters, wan and worn
The ghosts OF the vanished years.
These deep worn Tuts that divide the bank
At this dry arfoyos brink
Still tell Of the awful, maddening thirst
Ofthe beasts that rushed to drink;
flushed down to drink, too Oft, alas,
To find but bed Of dust.
Or here and there . sunkcn pool
White with alkali crust.
And many CHASTITY heap of bones,
Bleaohed white by the sun and wind,
Is the final record Of man or beast
That faltered and fell behind.
And many a rock was an ambuscade
That sheltered . skulking foe
And wild shrieks echoed the Indian yell.
While men and women and children fell,
And arrows flew like snow.
Ny heav:-bcats quicken; the trail grows dim,
My eyes are sufiused with tears
As think with pity and pain and pride
OF those brave old pioneers.
And in fancy see, as my palace winged
Flies over the iron rail,
The long. slow-creeping wagon train,
That travelled the Overland Trail

Apparently the course Of this new
true love was destined to run smooth.
George Ellis and Miss Calthorpe be-
came firm friends and allies, greatly to
the disgust Of Squire Martins three
apple-cheeked daughters, who had,
each and all of them. . special interest
in the handsome young farm hand.
And when. finally, matters eliminated
in q formal proposal made to Mr.. Cal
thorpe by George Ellis. for permission
to WOO and win Rosamond. the honest
farmers delight was beyond all bounds.
God bless you. my boy!' he ejaculat-
ed. wringing Ellis hand until the young
fellow actually WINGED. YOU'RE max
ing me the happiest old man alive.
Ask her. I'll be bound she won't re-
fuse! Or, if you would prefer to have
me speak to her first"
81 would much prefer it, sir"
"Then I'll do so. But don't worry.
It'll be all right. sir. if it's not"
Farmer Calthorpe could scarcely
wait for George Ellis to depart before
he went straight to Rosamond. and an
nounced to her the good fortune in
store for her.
"Of course you'll say yes,' he con-
cluded. There's not finer fellow in
all the world, not one l should feel
better satisfied to call your husband. -
Papa" said ROsamond, never lift
ing her eyes from her work, "rll never
marry any one but Godfrey Ever
leigh"
"Geoffrey Everleigh be hanged:
There, there, child, didn't mean that,
but you must see the folly of that old
love affair yourself. He's forgotten all
about you long ago, and"
"He has not forgotten all about me,
and he will be here this evening to
plead in his own behalf"
The mus cles round Luke Calthorpe's
lips grew fixed and rigid like iron.
"I'n see him in Alaska before he
shall be your husband" was his sole
answer, as he turned away. with a face
of such bitter disappointment that Ros-
amond's heart almost misgave her for
the moment.
At four o'clock precisely, Mr.. CAL
thorpe came to call his daughter.
George Ellis is here to receive his
answer, Rosamond," he said, wistfully.
Papa, Godfrey Everleigh is here
also"
II won't see him." said the old man,
hastily.
"Yes you will. papa" coaxed Rosa

George Ellis is there"
$50 is Godfrey, papa" and Rosa
mond entered, leading the unwilling
paterfamilias. Godfrey, plead your
cause with this Obdurate father of
mine"
Mr.. Calthorpe stared in OPEN
mouthed amazement.
Eyes, sir,'' said Squire Martins
farm hand, Il am Godfrey Everleigh.
and rich mans son, but trust you
will forgive the strategy by which I
won your sanction to my marriage
with your daughter. Let George Ellis
speak for Godfrey Everleigh."
IN this the truth, Rosamond?"
asked the old man, turning to his
daughter.
Eyes, papa"
SWELL" said Farmer Cathorpe. elf
Godfrey Everleigh is as good fellow
as George Ellis-and I've no reason to
say he ain't-why, s'pose l may as
well say yes"
