NEW York, June 6.-During nv last

picturesque province of Novgorod There,
on the shores of Lake lhnan, my hostess,

extent the gay Petersburg season. My
friends estate comprised the village of
Skalazubowka.
The morning after our arrival we made
tour of the village. We slowly picked
our way through the mud of tho only
street of which Skalazubowka boastcd

starshyna, or chief magistrate of the vii

which met our eyes was, 10 me at least,

entire length of the room, was surrounded
by persons Of both sexes and various
degrees of relationship. Father, mother,

Cutting Seed Dnintncs.

In reply TO query, Rural New Yorker
says: "Our opinion is that nothing is
gained by cutting tho seed any consider
able length of time before planting, As
soon as potato is cut and exposed to
the light and air, the cut part begins to
shriyel and soon to dry up or decay.
This is avoided by means Of tho soil
moisture. II potatoes are cut more than
day or SO before they are planted, it is
probably well to roll them in plaster,
which, in some degree, will lessen evap-
Grafton. The smaller the pieces in which
the seed potatoes are to be cut, the more
we should object to cutting them long
before they are to be planted. We do
not hesitate to advise our inquirer that
nothing is lost by planting freshly cut
seed

Tho Butter Color Question.

American Dairyman says; Dairymen
are in the habit of usingtoo much butter
color While the fact is that pure white
butter will not sell, at the same time too
deep red is sure to injure the price. a
light straw is the proper color, and if the
cows can do this without let or him
drance all the better, but be sure and see
that they do, or else use tho commercial
article that the law does not prohibit.
Hoard's Dairyman, commenting on the
above, says: Glad to see that the head Of
the old American Dairyman is level on
the morals of coloring butter. 1t is
sound view to take that the higher
grades of butter are colored artificially
less and less, for the reason that the gos-
pei of good feeding and breeding is being
more and more practiced, and this me-
cessitates less artificial coloring. We
are for the good butter breeds and for
the big feeds for the cash there is in
them-not SO much for the color that
comes with them. But if it comes as an
inherent adjunct all the better, but chief
ly so because it saves paying out cash for
coloring matter.

called to them by the nervous way Davis
keeps jerking his cuffs down, SO us to keep
them constantly in sight The stranger will
gradually recover from his surprise only TO
be floored again as he gets the CLEAN from
stud as large as walnut, which shines re-
splendent on Mr.. Davis bosom The latter is
what would be spoken Of by a jewcler as
slightly off COLOR" ns it has just tho least
tinge Of saffron.
Aside from these little ornaments Mr.. Da-
Wis wears diamond buttons ON his wnistcoat
and a collar button which shines like an Edi-
son light on a dark night. Sometimes he
varies things by substituting for the stud
scarf pin made up of about dozen gems
grouped in circle and set in shining gold.
One day, year or two ago, Pony Moore,
the negro minstrel. of London, whose step
daughter is Charlie Mitchell's wife, sauntered
into the Morton house cafe in New York.
London knows Pony Moore by his diamonds.
He owns some Of the finest stones in England,
and, like Davis, is fond of showing them of
on his person. He wears three stones from
the old mines as large as the end of his pugil-
istic step son-in-law's thumb on his shirt front
and solitaires CLEAN from nearly all of his
ten fingers. Davis was daintily slipping his
favorite drink at the bar as Moore came in.
The former wiggled his arms and tried to as
tonish Moore 10y the brilliancy of his cuff
buttons.
~ see you like diamonds" Moore said.
"Perhaps can show you some beauties"
He drew a chamois bag from his pocket
and rolled out handful of stones of exqui-
site luster. Nothing daunted, Davis pointed
to the stud and his buttons on his waistcoat
He next turned down the band of his trou-
sers and exhibited a huge diamond doing sarv-
ice in an undergarment.
After this he drew a fistful of loose da-
monds from his pocket and threw them upon
the bar for Pony's inspection. Not long after
ward a load of ice was dumped into the chute
leading to the cellar. The noise startled those
in the cafe. Whats that" Moore asked
They're dumping Davis diamonds into
the safe down stairs" James w. Collyer, the
actor, said. HE has them locked up there
every night
Davis comes Of well known theatrical
family. He was born in Baltimore, Oct. 81,
1852, and went on the stage for the first time
when he was only years old, aud up TO the
present day has never been out of the am,ise-
ment business He Is best known through
his connection with Alvin Joslin and "One
of the Old Stock" a continuation Of the
former play.
He is esteemed among the numerous secret
societies of which he is member, and in
Free Masonry he is member of the Lodge
of Perfection, Council of the Princes of Jeru-
salem, Mystic Shrine, and all the degrees Of
Ancient and Scottish Rites Masonic bodies,
up to the thirty second degree, the highest
but one in Masonry. He is also a Knight
Templar, a member of the Elks, Red Men,

The complaint about the lack of vi
talty of wrinkled peas is, says American
Garden, solely due TO their being planted
too early. These varieties are not quite
hardy, and the seed when deposited in
cold ground is quite apt 10 rot, while the
smooth varieties planted at the same
time, and side by side, grow right along.
II you must plant peas before the ground
has become warm, plant early smooth
kinds-Alaska, Rural New Yorker, Phila-
delphia Extra Early or Dan O'Rourke
there isn't SO very much difference be-
tween any of them, but for later plant
ing We have no use for them. One row
of Little Gem, Bliss Everbearing, Bur
pee's Quality, and above all the maGniii-
cent Stratagcm and Yorkshire Hero, is
worth half a dozen of the unprolitic and
otherwise inferior early smooth kinds.

SEASoNABLE HINTS.

The ladies who bathe at Newport and

feel themselves lifted above and beyond
criticism, while the religious tenden-
cies of the majority of the Ocean Grove
and Asbury Park summer visitors lift
them above criticism, no matter what
they do, SO that it devolves upon the
simple, plain, honest folks to maintain
the proprieties.
1t is so well understood that the bene-
fetal influence of sea bathing Is so great
as to make even few baths felt as a po-
tent health factor, that almost every wo-
man whose circumstances lift her above
actual want has her bathing costume.
In this letter are presented a few neat
and genteel bathing suits, all feasible for
the home dress maker. The materials
generally employed are dark blue fan
mel or serge, though lately it has been
found that Turkish -toweling or linen
bed ticking are preferable, as they do
not hold the water SO nor cling so closely
to the figure. Bed ticking is really ex-
cellent, and has the advantage of being
cheap and pretty, particularly for chill
dren, though they should not be allowed
to remain in the wet garments, as they
chill more rapidly than in flannel Dark
blue is the commonest color, trimmed
with white, black or red braid. or bands
put on in fanciful fashion, according to
taste.
The very fact of the costume being
for bathing ought to be the reason for
quiet taste, as the wearer is sufficiently
conspicuous without trying to make her.

The illustrations to this article show the
best styles for papa and mamma, the
baby and young sister-those for tho
parents in blue flannel. with white braid.
and those for the sister and little one in

toweling, with scarlet cords. The dark
blue costume needs eight yards Of fan
mel and eighteen yards of braid and
fifty-eight buttons, and requires no pat
tern, as any lady can make so simple

of toweling about twenty-six inches
wide.

to wear stockings and shoes it is better
to do so, as the sharp shells and pebbles
