ment now to assist the pullets in forming
their first crop of eggs, so to speak, will make
a vast difference in the product Of eggs dur
Ing the next four months. A few dollars
properly spent on the flock now, will return
to you many fold increase in eggs. Mr.. E.
R. Stuart, of Lancaster, N. H., says: II had
twelve fine Plymouth Rock pullets. The
early Matched ones commenced laying in the
fall; when cold weather came on they
stopped laying, while the rest had not begun
to lay. then commenced using Sheridan's
Powder, advertised to make hens lay. In
ten days one pullet commenced to lay, in
fourteen days three more began, and in just
one month from the time began using the
Sheridan's Powder, the twelve were laying"

TWO ROYAL SISTERS.

! The Princess of Wales and the En-
bress of Russia wear simple muslin
dresses, and la belated traveller peering in
1t the window would only think it was
an unusually happy and generous family
party. The Princess of Wales is the
taller and more reserved, but the sisters
resemble each other very closely, and
both incline to the same style of neck
dressing, arranged in terraces (they say
that in the case of the Princess the broad
band covers a scar, but court ladies who
have seen her in deshabille declare that
tits not so, but it is worn simply because
she knows broad neck band helps the
lines of her face and makes her longer.
Age always begins to show itself in the
neck, you know. The last time l saw
the Princess at state concert, says a
correspondent of the indianapolis Neecs,
she was in mourning, with many dia-
mond stars on her black lace dress. On
her neck she wore band of velvet one
inch wide, edged with lace. On this
was a row of magnificent diamonds,
while above and below were smaller
revers, and below all was very elabor-
ate necklace necklace of diamond fila

Paris is fas: becoming the headquarters
Of Socialists, Nihilists and malcontents

After a long debate the Municipal
Council of Geneva recently decided to
avoid international imbroglios by ex-
pelling its colony of Russian refugees,
and both Bcrnc and Brussels have
ceased to tolerate Anarchistic agitators.

Chemical Transformation.

Alcohol, one of the best known pro-
ducts of chemical industry, may serve as
evidence to what degree of perfection the
composition and decomposition of chemi-
cal compounds has been brought. As
the chief constituent of intoxicating bev-
erages, alcohol, together with carbonic
acid, originates by fermentation from
sugar; but this is not the only possible
way to produce it. The brightness of
electric lights, by which public places,
roads, stores, etc, of our cities now are
Illuminated at night, is emitted by an
electric current passing between two car
bon points. When such passage of
electricity takes place in glass balloon
filed with hydrogen, the electric current
causes this gas to unite with carbon,
forming acctylenc, gaseous compound,
which in contact with more hydrogen
readily takes it up, forming a second case
GUS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is the
chief light giving constituent OF illumi-
mating gas. Ethylene, when brought into
contact with sulphuric acid, forms a
LIQUID combination, and this, when
treated with potassium hydrate, is COLI
verted into alcohol. Having thus built
up from its elements substance formerly
known only as a product of fermentation,
we may proceed at once to decompose it
again into its elements. We can easily
regain the carbon which it contains, by
heating alcohol with sulphuric acid,
which again converts it into ethylene;
and this gas, when mixed with chlorine
gas and lighted, burns away, leaving car
bon, which, as dense black smoke, fills
the vessel .-Popu7ar Science Monthly.

oscCLAToRY GREETINGS.

Kisses are really not agreeable greetings
to exchange, say woman writer in Lon
don .7ruth: Very few people know how
to bestow or receive them in neat and
satisfactory fashion. A slovenly kiss is
a really detestable article, and makes one
dislike and despise the bestower. Of all
my girl friends who kiss me when we
meet there is only one from whose oscu-
flatory greeting I do not involuntarily
eshrink. Some butt at the kisses with
lips made into hard ball for the purpose.
These almost give one the toothache.
Others bestow their dewey lips upon ones
cheek in way that makes the recipient
grope hastily but furtively for hand
kerchief. A third contingent kiss in a
cold and chilling way that says plainly
enough: II kiss you because I suppose
you expect it of me-" I always sympa-
thize with these, and would gladly fall in
with their views. Amy, do let US make
q non-kissing compact company and see
how many of our acquaintance will join
it. The rules would not forbid a kiss
after long absence, nor would it inter-
fere with lovers kisses or anything of
that sort, but only combat the custom of
daily greeting by osculation.
FL feel quite sure that woman's friend
ships would be frmer and more durable
if they would abandon all such heavy
demands upon it. Do you agree with

FASHION NOTES.

Party dresses for little girls are made
of Liberty's silks in aesthetic hues.
Enormous muffs and fur gloves reach
ing to the elbows are cosey prediction.
All sealskin garments are now shaped
to follow the lines of the figure, yet are
not tight fitting.
Tortoise shell combs are now made so
that jewcled tops may be removed and
worn as brooches.
Liberty's silks are frmer than India
silks, more like India pongee, and trim
effectively with lace or velvet.
Now that the tourrure has been re-
duced to graceful proportions, we are
threatened with q revival of crinoline.
The large lace cravats now so fashiona-
bic are fastened with jeweled safety pins,
which are put in carelessly, to avoid
set effect.
Arabesques of a dark color on light
ground and Vandyke patterns are to be
had in inexpensive hannels for morning
wrappers.
Sealskin Jackets are somewhat changed
in shape, being of equal length front
and back, instead of sloping toward the
front, as last season.
Bands of velvet, straight at the lower
edge and cut out in Vandykes at the top,
are an effective finish for straight skirts
of cashmere and cloth for little girls.
Dressy frocks for misses are made of
Nile-green or ox-blood red cashmere,
with Figaro jackets of black velvet
and rows of plain velvet ribbon on the
plain skirts.
The better class of sealskin garments
the present season, of whatever shape,
have invisible fastenings, consisting of
loops and "olives," the latter with seal
skin or crochet coverings.
A few sealskin wraps are shown by the
leading furriers, but the depand is light.
In shape they follow the leading models
in cloth wraps, and sea otter and other
rich furs are used for trimmings.
The number of long, slender pins
which are thrust carelessly through the
trimmings of many of the new hats,
suggest the possibility of areservc supply,
to be used in case of high winds or other
accident.
A new light shade of mahogany brown
is known as Eitfel and will take the place
of its darker sister shade in combinations
with green this fall. Then follow ane-
none, Java, cuivre "copper" and condor,
these lighter tints melting gradually into
ecru.
Vulture is ''the" new color and will
undoubtedly 'sgo" we'll. It is exactly
the shade of vulture's back, with sort
of dusky bloom all over the surface,
whether it is oper:! cloth, cashmere,
camel's hair or twill. 1t is very cunningly
woven.
A popular ornament in expensive
iewelry is the sun star. It's, as its name
implies, large star, with sharp points,
and composed entirely of brilliants. 1t
may be worn on the shoulders, on the
sash, or fastened into the lace draperies of
a trained evening dress.
The sealskin cloak is still the perfection
of elegance in winter street garments,
and this season there are several new
features which especially commend it to
the shopper who seeks comfort and pro-
lection from wintry blasts, combined
with rich and handsome appearance.
