The Duke Of Orleans and his cousin, Prince
Henry, OF the same family, have been tiger
hunting in India, and with the usual narrow
escape from the brute's claws. Mounted
upon the elephants they were in the lead Of
the hunt, when a tigress which had been
fired upon attacked the dukes elephant, and
leaping Upon its side. chung to one of the
hoSdah, or elephant saddle, in which the
duke was riding.
From this point the animal began TO climb,
and for one terrible moment it seemed as If
she would leap into the howdah and seize
the duke.
The rider tried in vain to fire at the tiger;
tho elephant bounded and plunged SO vio-
lently that it was impossible to get a shot.
AL at once the elephant ran under a tree and
the dukes gun was caught in the branches
and broken in two.
1t was q terrible moment. Prince Henry,
from his elephant, tried to got a shot at the
tiger, but the animal was now so near the
duke that he did not dare 10 fire for fear OF
killing his cousin.
just at this moment the step OF the howdah
broke under the weight Of the tiger, which
fell to the ground and then quickly took to
flight. She was followed and killed.

They are cllled housewife caps" but un.
marrisd women are DOMINIC them, toe.
Three examples of these caps are sketehed
Individual fancy can be indulged indein-
itcle in these contriyances, and New York
miliners are adding TO their incomes by
producing caps artistically suited to their
customers. They are not only worn al
breakfast, the time for which they were orig
inalIy intended-in order to conceal the fact
that one's hair had not been very elaborately
arranged so early in the m~orning-but are
displayed at all times of the day, and even
occasionally in the evening.
IL the matter of caps il will be Interesting
10 know tina there is q revival of o fashion of
several years ago In the Dolly Warden" cap,
which IS now worn with tea towns 1t is
now. as il formerly was. only a bit of gath
cred lace and a puekered-up crown with a
few short lengths of ribbon OF the same
coIors as the tea gown it accompanies.
AdiTerent style Of cap is the Marie Stuart"
for elderly ladies', and made Of soft cream or
white embroidered net, or of black lace. The
pointed velvet band. resting on the head in
front, supports the delicate material which
forms the cap, like a deep curtain, falling
ever the back hair and tying loosely in front
al Il little distance from the chin. In black
lace it is particularly graceful and becoming,
suitable alike fer society or home wear.
Other caps-if an arrangement of lace
be sded N different colors, taking the form of
a butterfly with its wings fastened against
HE hair can be called q eap-are very dainty
and becoming. They are much worn at even
ing entertainments Of all kinds. For the
Young girls there are. instead Of caps, many
varieties of the Little Dorothy" wreath and
its accompanying single epaulet. These are
made of small flowers. and the epaulet some
what resembles q large buckle and fits we'll
GA the left shoulder Of the ball gown.
Not only are caps becoming indoor an adj
iunct OF feminine heads, but in connection
with morning wrappers loose hoods are made
Of a fabric TO match. The headgear in this
instance has somewhat the appearance of a
turbal, but is worn well back and tied at the
crown with a ribbon. The wrapper is apt to
b. made open at the neck and wound around
III waist with a wide scarf, while the sleeves
are 50 wide and loose that they fall back to
Tie elbows whenever the arms are raised.
From these descriptions it will be seen that
The stylish woman is no longer careless in
dress at home. That is commendable al
though it may considerably increase the cost
O. her wardrobe. More and more have frocks
been elaborated for homa wear, Until a pre-
tentious girl robed merely to preceive casual
evening callers, sometimes looks as gay as
those arrayed for a ball. The fact is that girls
in society where elaboration Of dress and
m'nrer= is practiced, no longer possess
1i e SIMPLICITY.

Why Dairying Don't Pay.

Why more men don't make dairying pay is
because they refuse TO believe that there is
any study and investigation needed in re-
gard to the care, treatment and management
Of the dairy. II they chance Oh a success
they call it luck and if they fail they never
Investigate the matterto see wherein they fail
so as to steer clear Of a repetition. One
rarely hears Q uniformly successful dairyman
grumbling about hard times and poor COWS
It's the fellow who keeps poor cows and re-
fuses or neelects to improve them and their
care and appointments who is always COM
planning. It's the man whose railway freight
bills do not aggregate SO per year who is
always "crushed" by railway monopoly, and
the worst case Of outcry about the Burden Of
.axation" I ever heard was by a man whose
tax list was s1.34. Tao same rule holds good
with poor dairying.

Sailed Almonds.

Now for one Of the pretty little entrees at
most Of our luncheons, teas and coifees.
To prepare the dish first carefully crack
The nuts SO the kernels can be taken out
whole; then blanch the almonds by placing
them in scalding water, which causes the
brown covering of the nat to loosen when 1t
can readily be removed,
Have ready a pan of fine salt; and when
the nuts arc all blanched, place the warm
wet kernels into tho salt: then set the pan
away until next morning in order to give
them time for the salt TO soak q little in the
almonds. Next day remov9 the kernels from
the salt aud put them in a clean pan the salt
which still clings to them will drop oil, do
not try to remove it. Place the pan Of nuts
in the oven to brown, and stand by, as they
require constant attention. Stir often and
bake quickly TO IL light brown, when done,
pour them into a cold pan and allow them to
cool. Serve in any pretty little fancy dish
you may happen to possess.

Ever since the practice of making debuts
came in, and every maiden found herself crit
icIsed like an actress upon her first formal
appearance, she can't h lip knowing her good
and bad points, and naturally her efforts to
improve her looks are redoubled. We COM
monty hear the faces and figures of our girls
discussed in the most critical and ~outspoken
manner, and the society columns in news-
lapers are often free in their expressions of
admiration or mildly expressed disapproval
Df wealthy debutantes. All this has rendered
,.e girl Of the period a much more careful
lre-ser than her grandmother was when
-oung.

No sooner had this idea occurred TO me than
l had some water brought in a large vessel,
which the poor animals at once sucked up

1t was quite clear TO US that the two first
callers, pleased with their friendly reception,

by supplying fresh warm air. The first figure
shows n poultry house with a lean-to under
which a small stove is kept. any Ill Of far
top stove, or even a kerosene oil stove will
give sufficient heat.
Forty degrees Fahrenheit is warm enough
for a poultry house: hence the size Of the
stove depends on the length Of the house 1t
is easy enough 10 put q stove in the poultry
house, but we wish also to ventilate the
house while warmingit, as well as TO make
use OF q kerosene lamp, or small stove, if but
little warmth is required.
The second figure Is simply a closed box,
one yard square, and one inch deep, made Of
ordinary sheet iron. The box, or heater is
placed on a small stove, or if legs are at
tached to each corner of the heater, a lamp
may be placed under ii. The cold air comes
In at A, passes through the box, becoming
heated, and energies at the pipe 3. The cold
air pipe is half an inch in diameter and the
warm air pipe one inch.
The pipe A should be long enough TO ex-
tend through the walls to the outside, 50 as
TO bring in the pure air. These pipes may
be made OF Tin. By bringing in tho fresh
air and heating it, the poultry house is not
only ventilated but warmed. This permits
OF closing it tightly so as to avoid the cold
air.
No yentilators on the top Of the building
will be required. and the air will keep the
house dry. Always bring the air in and dis
charge it near the root, as the birds will not
then crowd, or become lame, as they will
when the warmth is bel ow them.

the frame of the gate, often getting caught
behind the cross braces OF the frame; and
by a sudden jerk before the wagon can be
stopped. On every gate, bolt or nail firmly
a plank twelve or fourteen inches wide and
not less than one inch thick, dressed on the
outside the entire length Of the gate. The
middle of the plank is arranged to be the same
height as the hubs of an ordinary wagon

Although simple and easily arranged by any

Protection for a Farm Gate

A constant source Of annoyance on the
farm is the destruction of gates By careless
drivers. Let a new gate be put up and some
one is sure TO iniure or completely break it
down sooner or later. The device suggested
by W. T. Whitsett, Guilford Co., n. c., and
illustrated here, although simple, will save
much vexation and repairing. The damage
is generally done by the wagon hubs striking

In Ornamental g~ardenlng the tmrayeler fnds

IN ornamental gardening the traveller finds
much to admire, particularly in Sweden,
There Is not that richness Of finish and vari-
ETY. Of plants which one secs in England, but
there is usually a most excellent and tasteful
use of materials. The Slots park at Chris
tiania is an admirable example Of the adapta-
ton Of common plants TO ornamel tai garden
ing OF q high character.
"Thegreater part Of the paintings arc birehrs
and elms, trees which everywhere clothe the
adjacent hill-sides. Perhaps the very con-
trast of this Simple park with the ornate and
burdened ones OF England and other parts
of Europe may heigilten its charm in the
mind Of the traveller. Yet one must feel that
the absence of effort and artilies and the re-
pose which comes from the very simplicity Of
its design and details gives this park an in
trinsic merit.
Parks are usually burdened with Access
series, mere display, a feature of gardening

Garden Versus Field.

Some one says: ''The culture of a garden
should be the best that is possible. No labor
Or fertilizers should DO spared to make the
product US large as it can he made" This
sounds well, but why should care and manure
and labor be wasted in the garden,-and they
will be wasted ii applied beyond the point
which gives profitable returns; while the
fields where the main crops are grown are
running on "half time" for want OF these

times for a garden, why not for a helda II
it will not pay, why recommend it?
